Existance and Availability
The only thing Pro Wrestling NOAH has revealed about the incident is the moment in which Misawa is treated by paramedics after the match. This was done in order to be shown on the Japanese news. Beyond this, nothing official has been shown, in order to show respect to such a beloved personality as Mitsuharu Misawa was.
It is known that YouTube user kimidori3takoyaki is known to have recorded the entire match from the arena seats with his camera, but has refused to reveal it to the public out of respect for Misawa. Instead, he has upped the moments before and after the match.
