Shibata:
'Thank you very much'

Nagata:
'Thank you'

* Two of them shake their hands

Shibata:
'We have eight more matches until Ryogoku. This feeling of fulfillment is something I have never experienced before. Today, we got a reply from Okada, but he didn’t have to do that. It was very interesting. He actually talked. He mumbled something out. It’s fun. Pro-Wrestling is a raw in a way. What you need more than a gut to get IWGP belt? The most important aspect is the gut! Without that gut, pro wrestlers can’t survive. Anything? Anything else? That’s all from me, thank you!'

Nagata:
'Thank you very much.'

* Shibata left the comment booth.

Nagata:
'I've been watching carefully to this thing between Shibata and Okada, and there is a strange sensation of tension between them. Both of them… well, this tension has caused a slight discretion in Okada towards his defense on his first encounter during this match. For now, mentality wise, Shibata holds the advantage. Definitely, I can say that this fight shows somewhat different aspect from old New Japan Pro Wrestling. It all started when Shibata became a challenger.'


Okada:
'Shibata-san! But you know, you always say, “I’ll show you my gut”? This belt isn’t that easy to get! Gut is not enough, you mother f#*ker! We just began, champion of New Japan Cup! You were all over the place today. Good, run over all and get crazy! Otherwise, you got no chance getting… this belt!'
