I completely forgot about this match, so I'm sitting here with my jaw on the floor and goosebumps all over my body probably just like when I saw it in 2002. ps. This is a few years before my good friend got to tag with Akiyama in Germany and I shook his hand backstage
From what I have heard there are two theories. First one was that misawa despite pushing akiyama to the limits still finds him a tag team wrestlers and that's why have the title drop to ogawa for reasons like ogawa was misawa's partner for a lot of his time. Which is insane considering akiyama main evented NJPW's 4 Jan Tokyo dome defending and retaining the title against then NJPW's ace yuji nagata. Then you have akiyama feeling mentally exhausted and needs time off.
@@dashtoroya2838most likely it was a mix of 1) Misawa getting a timeline for Kobashi to be back (as his intent even upon starting NOAH was to transfer Ace status from himself to Kobashi), and 2) with the choice being “have Akiyama hold the belt until Kobashi is ready to take it off him” or “do a little hot potato with the belt to set up a final Misawa vs Kobashi match to officially pass the torch”, he went with the latter, which also gave him the opportunity to give his close friend Ogawa a cup of coffee with the belt and to also pass it onto Takayama as an “attaboy” for doing business so easily both in moving his freelancing from AJPW to NOAH and losing in the finals of the GHC title tournament in the first place, which then Misawa could take off of him just in time for Kobashi to begin getting built up for his title shot that would then be the focal point of the promotion moving forward from that point. And then somewhere down the line, he still can run Akiyama vs Kobashi for the belt, a still unspoiled, built-from-day-one match at whatever point he felt it was right to pull the trigger on (which turned out to be the 2004 Tokyo Dome show). Akiyama also probably needing a break nearly as badly as Kobashi needed weeks into NOAH’s official start was probably part of it, sure, pretty much everyone high level in the latter half of All Japan in the 90s were the walking wounded, but the business end of things probably played a bigger part.
As a huge Ogawa fan that loved him for years, this was an awesome surprise. As a business decision to put the belt on him, it probably was worse than when Marufuji was heavyweight champion.
I agree with you. Ogawa is one of my all time favorites, but him as the champion was a bad decision. But at least it gave Ogawa vs Takayama which was in my opinion the best performance of his career.
リングサイドの着物の方
もう二十年以上もNOAHを観覧して支え続けてるんだな。すごいな。
こんな茶番見せられてそりゃ客も離れるわ
この頃の秋山は髪もあってイケメンで白パンツもセクシーでカッコいいわ

当時リアルタイムで観ていたけど
改めて観ると面白い試合。
断崖や派手な危険技も凄いけど
テクニックによる丸め込み技で
決める試合もいいね👍
小川選手のビジュアル、昔も今もほとんど変わっていないのが凄い。
Thank you for everything Ogawa-san. Enjoy retirement. You've earned it.
小川さん、お疲れ様でした。
あなたのテクニック、レスリングはプロレスを見続ける時間が長くなるほど、興味深くとても面白かったです。
いろんなスポーツを実況する平川さんがここまで取り乱したのこの試合くらいしか記憶ないな
最後の丸め込みはすごく説得力あった。
こう言う所が丁寧だったなあ、このころのノア
自分はNOAHを初めて生観戦したのがこの大会で、この試合も正直小川さんが５分以内で勝つと思っていなかったから、決まった瞬間驚きと歓声が凄かった印象があります。
有明コロシアムは自分の家からはちょっと遠いけど、観に行った価値があった😄
こんなサプライズがたくさんあったNOAH。面白かったなあ
小川さんは、物凄い
テクニシャンだよね
「これから僕がNOAHを面白くしますので」その通りになりました。おがわさんお疲れ様でした。
今見ても鳥肌が立ちます
秋山て秒殺で負ける役をよくやってるイメージ
いままでの流れを急に変えるような大役を任されるから信頼されてるんだろなあ
当時小学生の自分が直接観に行ったけど、小川が勝った時、地割れが起きたかのような大歓声だったのを覚えてる。
ジュニアヘビーの体格でヘビー級獲ったのはアメリカ 日本のメジャー団体通して先駆けだったし。プロレスの価値観を変えた偉大な人だと思う。
神試合
やはり身体の細かったりちいさかったりする選手がベビーで活躍するノアは面白い。
小川は最高😊
でかいやつを倒してこそジュニア体型がかっこ良さを最高に盛り上げるのでは？
やっぱりこの頃のノアが一番良かったな ノア旗上げからずっといるのは小川良成 丸藤正道 杉浦貴の3人だけになってしまった
そして小川も引退してしまい、ついに丸藤と杉浦の2人だけに
力皇、森嶋の離脱がねえ
テンション上がったお客さんが立ち上がってるのがいいな
The shortest GHC Heavyweight Title match but showed that anyone could win it!
That's not a good thing lol
髪アリの秋山イケメンすぎ！
どよめきのある試合はプロレスは大事！
三沢さんも余程気に入ってたんだろうなぁ。
小川さん、ありがとうございました。
菊地毅は元気かな？
ネバーギブミーアップよ永遠なれ
ザックがG1の決勝で技を出したりインタビューでも言ってたね
小川最高すぎる。本当に全日の頃からテクニックすごかった。６人タッグでいつも負け役を担ってたが、その頃から上手かった。鶴田田上小川、川田田上小川、三沢小川、、懐かしいなぁ。。
i love Ogawa but i don't think i'll ever understand the decision to have him beat Akiyama here honestly.

小川さんお疲れ様でした！
この試合テレビで見てかなり動揺したのは覚えています(笑
小橋に解説席座らせちゃダメだ(笑
週プロ見いいて驚いたのを思い出す……かっこいいなぁ。みんながオガワコールしてるしね。
こういうのでいいんだよNOAHは！
三沢さんという人だけで満員になる。
最後のパッケージホールドは、片方の足は手で抑えて、もう片方は
自分の足を絡ませて、
秋山も足をバタつかせてたから、意識はしっかりあるけど、
足をバタつかせる勢いで、肩を上げられなかったから、これは
やっぱ、小川さんの
上手さだと思うよね。
解説席の小橋さん、ソフトバンクの柳田選手に似てますよね⁉︎
この試合の動画上がる度に現地で見てた自分が花道に映ってるのを思い出してしまう(￣▽￣)
それはさておき、プロレスの奥深さを思い知ったメインイベントだった\( ˙▿˙ )/
この試合を見たからこそ、今でもプロレスを好きでいられると思ってる
予告通り５分以内でフォールしましたね
秋山の油断を突いた小川良成の貫禄勝ち
Ogawa definitely was anxious from the beginning
あたしにしてみたら、小川さんてテクニシャンてよりはマジシャンだよ😮
プロレスは甘くない!
秋山は突然の奇襲と丸め込みに弱かったね…
同窓会しましょう
💚💚💚💚💚💚
サムネが朝倉海に見えた😅
這場當初有被罵嗎
小川マジック頼ます!
1カウント目それまでのより
早いよね。
秋山は謎に秒殺される試合が多い笑
小川良成も高山にベルトを取られて短命チャンピオンやったような記憶が…
田上と力皇相手に防衛した後、高山に負けた‼️
The match that fucked up Akiyama main event credibility.
I love Ogawa’s style
Sneaky mf lol
The day Akiyama career end.
XD
Was that a botch count?
Nope it was planned as a surprise
秋山やる気ない
マジッく小川
1:45 1:50
普通なら勝ててない
ありがとうございます!小川マジッく小川!
完全なブック
どうなると、そうじゃないの？
@@user-yk1qi5vs6dそんなピンポイントで5分決着を返せるもんかね😂
