Tanahashi:
‘I said a lot out there. But in 2011, when I defended the IWGP title in Sendai, that's a day I'll never forget. And I'm promising myself I'll never forget this day either. Of course as a wrestler you want to get strong, you want to be famous. But to be in a place like this, to get this kind of reception, that is the goal. There's still a long way to go in this G1, but Sendai gave me a lot of energy tonight. Goto and Nagata, you might think they're just one match. But it's where to put emphasis. It's settling the past, heading to the future. Beat or be beaten, expressing yourself in your matches, that's what the G1 is. Oh, and it feels pretty good to take the record for most wins.’
