[SPEAKER_01]: It is time for our annual G-One climax preview.

00:13.980 --> 00:26.783
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jeremy and I are going to look at each participant in the G-One, both blocks every single wrestler, breakdown their chances, see what goals the promotion might have for that person, whether they're going to win the thing, get into post-block play or not.

00:27.684 --> 00:31.705
[SPEAKER_01]: As always, G-One has a lot of stories to tell, a lot more than just who wins the thing.

00:31.805 --> 00:34.185
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to be looking at every single bit of that.

00:34.546 --> 00:39.407
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're also going to look at our former World Heavyweight Champion who might be just going off to be a movie star.

00:40.065 --> 00:43.112
[SPEAKER_01]: We're all looking forward to talking to you about it, so we're just going to get to it.

00:43.192 --> 00:46.359
[SPEAKER_01]: With Jeremy Feinstein, I'm Stephen Conway, this is Speaking of Strong Style.

01:03.446 --> 01:05.388
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome everyone to Speaking of Strongstar.

01:05.428 --> 01:08.691
[SPEAKER_01]: We discussed the news issues in events surrounding New Japan, pro wrestling.

01:09.231 --> 01:14.796
[SPEAKER_01]: G one time Jeremy and you know, we have been looking forward to this tournament for a while.

01:14.937 --> 01:16.017
[SPEAKER_01]: It is finally upon us.

01:16.078 --> 01:19.921
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had time between shows to think it over and how are you feeling?

01:20.702 --> 01:24.005
[SPEAKER_01]: How have you been spending the time since we haven't had shows to watch?

01:24.888 --> 01:27.691
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I put a little bit of energy to Zelda tier to the kingdom.

01:27.751 --> 01:43.226
[SPEAKER_02]: Now that I got my switch to, uh, I finally sat down yesterday and did all of my bracketing on Chris answers, G one dot sport of pro wrestling.com contest that we'll get into in a little bit.

01:43.786 --> 01:45.288
[SPEAKER_02]: And basically just kind of.

01:46.764 --> 01:49.064
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't think about wrestling until I had to think about wrestling.

01:49.145 --> 01:52.005
[SPEAKER_02]: I did cover the all in paper view this past weekend.

01:52.445 --> 01:56.566
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for fight game media and not turned out to be a very long day.

01:57.366 --> 02:00.547
[SPEAKER_01]: I could imagine so I want to say hello to everybody who's joining us live right here.

02:00.587 --> 02:01.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Colin is with us.

02:01.367 --> 02:04.928
[SPEAKER_01]: Colin good to see you and Jeremy Ores here on Gladiys.

02:04.948 --> 02:07.868
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi guys ready for the G one my favorite news Japan event of the year.

02:07.888 --> 02:10.909
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a pretty funny for an endositis here too.

02:10.969 --> 02:14.770
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure there's more and we'll get to the you guys and now we're glad you all of you are with us live.

02:16.671 --> 02:20.453
[SPEAKER_01]: A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to go over one thing here.

02:20.473 --> 02:22.734
[SPEAKER_01]: A couple of weeks ago, Jeremy finds someone was very troubled.

02:23.595 --> 02:26.497
[SPEAKER_01]: And as most, you know, Jeremy has connections.

02:27.037 --> 02:31.800
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jeremy went to the Dark Web and he contacted a clandestine organization.

02:32.541 --> 02:37.424
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a group of people who find things that are meant to be left unfound.

02:38.412 --> 02:39.973
[SPEAKER_01]: This is an ancient organization.

02:40.013 --> 02:47.696
[SPEAKER_01]: These people uncovered some things, such as the Bruder film of the JFK assassination, the Ray Rice elevator footage, among other things.

02:48.537 --> 02:52.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeremy was told to go to a remote park bench in the Greater San Jose area.

02:54.139 --> 02:58.921
[SPEAKER_01]: At the appointed time, a man appeared wearing a trench coat, despite the summer heat and northern California.

02:59.181 --> 03:01.262
[SPEAKER_01]: Dark sunglasses, a hat pulled down his forehead.

03:02.062 --> 03:02.463
[SPEAKER_02]: He's right.

03:03.927 --> 03:14.853
[SPEAKER_01]: He swept the bench for bugs before speaking to Jeremy and looking for other surveillance devices using a handheld gadget with a method that is unknown and unfamiliar to an currently unknown science.

03:16.013 --> 03:18.955
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeremy said to him, I need to see Tana Hashijam.

03:19.928 --> 03:21.269
[SPEAKER_01]: The man replied it wouldn't be easy.

03:22.069 --> 03:27.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeremy handed the man and envelope stuff with unmarked bills specifically selected because they had no consecutive serial numbers.

03:28.232 --> 03:33.274
[SPEAKER_01]: The man pocketed the money and told him you never talked to me and you were never here and he vanished as quickly as he appeared.

03:34.235 --> 03:40.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Two days later, Jeremy opened an encrypted email address so he normally only uses when he keeps the minutes for his illuminati meetings.

03:41.078 --> 03:43.700
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was footage of the Tana Hashijam.

03:43.901 --> 03:47.724
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's how Jeremy was able to review the show here on speaking of strong style for all of us.

03:48.605 --> 03:51.667
[SPEAKER_01]: I, however, have no contacts for shadowy underworld organization.

03:51.707 --> 03:53.789
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had to wait until the drop on NJPW world.

03:53.829 --> 03:54.750
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's what I did this week.

03:54.790 --> 03:55.390
[SPEAKER_01]: I watched that show.

03:55.410 --> 03:57.052
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think of a Jeremy?

03:57.072 --> 03:57.973
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was interesting.

03:59.954 --> 04:03.817
[SPEAKER_02]: If you knew the actual story, it wasn't nearly interesting.

04:03.838 --> 04:05.319
[SPEAKER_02]: If you were going head about

04:06.721 --> 04:10.365
[SPEAKER_02]: sixty percent of the way I knew where I realized for you're going with it.

04:10.805 --> 04:15.309
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, just let him go get the what I'm having a moment.

04:15.689 --> 04:20.914
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know it was, yes, I did watch Tana Hashijam before most people did.

04:21.855 --> 04:22.876
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you watch it now?

04:23.496 --> 04:23.817
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you?

04:23.897 --> 04:25.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I watched some of it.

04:25.378 --> 04:26.339
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't watch all of it.

04:26.359 --> 04:36.047
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't that interested in a lot of the matches on it, but I did watch the Young Lion match because I was interested in Dekiyo Tashima and Marashima just to see how those guys are developing.

04:36.087 --> 04:39.750
[SPEAKER_01]: And against each other, it's always fun to see young lions against young lions from different organizations.

04:39.790 --> 04:41.311
[SPEAKER_01]: And I did watch the goto

04:42.432 --> 04:43.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Zach Saber Jr.

04:43.213 --> 04:43.713
[SPEAKER_01]: main event.

04:43.753 --> 04:45.514
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have seen the world title change right now.

04:45.534 --> 04:53.778
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was just fantastic match with the big story to tell right there that leads into our first item, of course, as we know, Zach Saber Jr.

04:53.838 --> 05:08.045
[SPEAKER_01]: focused on, Harrow Kigoto's arm doing everything and anything, a hundred different ways to damage Kigoto's arm went after it and finally, a bridge used stopped the match, referee, red shoes, you know, stop the match and awarded the title as Zach Saber Jr.

05:09.367 --> 05:19.563
[SPEAKER_01]: And I suspected at the time that this was go to working his way towards some time off in some fashion.

05:20.665 --> 05:22.968
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I may have been validated Jeremy because

05:24.562 --> 05:26.564
[SPEAKER_01]: Our boy has got himself a movie roll.

05:26.644 --> 05:28.086
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe that's what he's doing.

05:28.106 --> 05:30.628
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm moving a movie roll, Steven.

05:31.009 --> 05:37.455
[SPEAKER_02]: He's in the most insane movie with the most insane cast that I have seen in a long time.

05:37.916 --> 05:39.077
[SPEAKER_02]: And our boy, go to.

05:40.156 --> 05:43.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's going to be playing E Honda and Street Fighter.

05:43.618 --> 05:46.360
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Jeremy knows what those words mean.

05:46.380 --> 05:49.142
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't, but I'm going to turn it over to you now.

05:49.222 --> 05:56.747
[SPEAKER_01]: Just looking at for those of you on the podcast, we have a little picture up here for the in the YouTube of Goto and the character from Street Fighter.

05:56.787 --> 05:58.988
[SPEAKER_01]: He is rumored to be said to be playing.

05:59.008 --> 05:59.789
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, not rumored to be playing.

05:59.809 --> 06:00.469
[SPEAKER_01]: He will be playing.

06:00.969 --> 06:04.172
[SPEAKER_01]: And I got to say that's a fairly good casting.

06:04.212 --> 06:04.632
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like

06:07.075 --> 06:16.200
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so deadline has a running article where they just keep telling you people who who is in here.

06:16.300 --> 06:18.681
[SPEAKER_02]: And they've only all one more update after this guy.

06:18.781 --> 06:31.408
[SPEAKER_02]: And if they have a video at Jam Wall, I'd be playing Dolcee, who is an Indian street fighter who's arms and legs can extend and he breathes fire.

06:32.528 --> 06:46.683
[SPEAKER_02]: In addition to this, we got Cody Rogues in this map in this movie, Kyle, which is a Air Force pilot who is mourning the death of his friend Charlie, but Charlie's actually alive.

06:47.985 --> 06:50.287
[SPEAKER_02]: David Dastomachian, you know that name?

06:51.048 --> 06:51.148
[SPEAKER_02]: No.

06:52.100 --> 06:54.301
[SPEAKER_02]: He is a very popular character actor.

06:54.341 --> 06:56.242
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been in the dark night.

06:56.342 --> 06:58.764
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been in man movies.

06:58.944 --> 06:59.244
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

06:59.784 --> 07:00.805
[SPEAKER_02]: So sad squad.

07:00.825 --> 07:05.007
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is somebody I would probably is one of those guys where you recognize guys.

07:05.107 --> 07:06.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that guy isn't.

07:07.309 --> 07:13.012
[SPEAKER_02]: He's playing one of the main films called Embison and then you have Jason Mamoa.

07:13.845 --> 07:21.210
[SPEAKER_02]: is playing a Brazilian street fighter who is a beast like and can conduct electricity.

07:22.351 --> 07:23.792
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's yellow.

07:23.812 --> 07:26.534
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to be playing this movie.

07:27.054 --> 07:27.715
[SPEAKER_02]: Switch on set.

07:27.735 --> 07:30.657
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll be playing a bonker named Balrog.

07:30.677 --> 07:35.420
[SPEAKER_02]: He got Roman Reigns playing a kuma.

07:36.821 --> 07:39.723
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's just what's happening here.

07:40.910 --> 07:44.891
[SPEAKER_01]: But hey, we go to scores the Japanese fighters are all so good for him.

07:46.131 --> 07:47.792
[SPEAKER_02]: He's perfect for the throw in all honesty.

07:48.152 --> 07:51.093
[SPEAKER_02]: He, he will exactly like it and it was just one of those.

07:51.673 --> 07:56.234
[SPEAKER_02]: This came to light about five minutes after we finished going broadcast.

07:56.574 --> 08:01.175
[SPEAKER_02]: According to, uh, deadline and fight fold, everybody kind of jumped on at the same time.

08:01.495 --> 08:04.736
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, fight bowls the first, but they were the first of the, uh,

08:05.418 --> 08:08.640
[SPEAKER_02]: wrestling media and the deadline looks on it after that.

08:08.760 --> 08:10.461
[SPEAKER_02]: So credit to both.

08:11.382 --> 08:14.064
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to be the guy that get it wrong if you if you will.

08:14.744 --> 08:18.527
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, this is maybe it's going to be bonkers.

08:19.207 --> 08:21.108
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think it did to me.

08:21.609 --> 08:23.970
[SPEAKER_02]: If they do it right, it could be Superman level bonkers.

08:24.510 --> 08:30.514
[SPEAKER_02]: The way that this last weekend was because it was a very popular video game.

08:33.100 --> 08:40.645
[SPEAKER_02]: mid- nineties and there is a whole generational thing and ended up on the super Nintendo on the Sega Genesis and on the new switch.

08:41.445 --> 08:45.988
[SPEAKER_02]: The way to version Street Fighter VI is one of the popular launch games.

08:46.088 --> 08:53.373
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is a franchise in an IP like Pokemon that has just sustained over and over and over again.

08:53.673 --> 08:57.495
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've always kind of saw a spot of my heart for one of the characters review.

08:57.956 --> 09:00.177
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the character I play when I play the game.

09:00.197 --> 09:01.538
[SPEAKER_02]: I can play that much, but

09:02.258 --> 09:04.740
[SPEAKER_02]: That's my soft spot character, where I played Street Fighter II.

09:04.820 --> 09:07.222
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I'm really looking forward to this man.

09:07.242 --> 09:09.203
[SPEAKER_01]: Just playing Rio in the movie, do you know?

09:09.563 --> 09:11.384
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I think it was Andrew Cody.

09:11.604 --> 09:12.265
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of those.

09:12.625 --> 09:20.210
[SPEAKER_02]: They have a cast of people that are just fitting the roles and the main people are not people that I'm actually.

09:20.691 --> 09:22.612
[SPEAKER_02]: But if they can act, I'm actually okay with that.

09:23.814 --> 09:24.195
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just here.

09:24.555 --> 09:26.418
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sporting my my new purchase.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is an actual track suit jacket from the that the young lions in the crew wear.

[SPEAKER_01]: Sam is here.

10:24.631 --> 10:25.011
[SPEAKER_01]: Good grief.

10:25.031 --> 10:26.171
[SPEAKER_01]: We got an all star cast today.

10:26.191 --> 10:26.371
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

10:26.391 --> 10:27.012
[SPEAKER_01]: We better be good.

10:27.772 --> 10:34.113
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I did a bracket and I thought about it thoroughly and sent well, the news is that we'll get into right now.

10:36.874 --> 10:42.235
[SPEAKER_02]: We are part of the price package for the GMM sport of pro wrestling climate pickum.

10:42.775 --> 10:45.236
[SPEAKER_02]: The great price is actually going to be.

10:47.420 --> 10:51.262
[SPEAKER_02]: a voice of the wrestling flagship Patreon subscription for three months.

10:52.002 --> 10:58.085
[SPEAKER_02]: Along with that, a super fast Patreon for three months for their bonus audio tier access.

10:58.846 --> 11:03.828
[SPEAKER_02]: Keep it at strong style Patreon will also offer a three month IWGP tier access.

11:04.248 --> 11:05.409
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we work stiff.

11:05.729 --> 11:08.490
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to offer a one year of a bit stiffy membership.

11:09.151 --> 11:11.532
[SPEAKER_02]: And all of that is in the grand prize access.

11:12.012 --> 11:15.795
[SPEAKER_02]: But in second place, because we don't have a patron, we don't have a patron.

11:15.975 --> 11:19.317
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't have any, we don't have any, we don't have any merchandise, we don't have whatever.

11:19.717 --> 11:20.658
[SPEAKER_02]: We're just like, well.

11:21.763 --> 11:23.344
[SPEAKER_02]: We could just give somebody a gift.

11:24.445 --> 11:33.392
[SPEAKER_02]: And so Steve and I talked about it and we just thought, you know, we're sturdy bumps, you can get yourself something nice from your chant, you know, give yourself an old shirt or a star for a hat or whatever.

11:33.492 --> 11:35.694
[SPEAKER_02]: And it just felt like the way to go.

11:36.134 --> 11:38.716
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I'm going to do my bracket.

11:38.836 --> 11:49.605
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about it and I'll have all that stuff mapped out to make sure that you guys know, if you want to crib off me, if you want to cheat, if you think that like talking sound advice and you want to just use that to win.

11:50.346 --> 11:52.171
[SPEAKER_02]: by all means, I'm not in it to win it.

11:52.692 --> 11:54.818
[SPEAKER_02]: I've already wanted you one contest in my life.

11:55.259 --> 11:55.681
[SPEAKER_02]: I am nothing.

11:57.148 --> 11:58.128
[SPEAKER_01]: retiring undefeated.

11:58.248 --> 12:00.029
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what's retiring undefeated.

12:00.209 --> 12:00.649
[SPEAKER_02]: Correct.

12:01.229 --> 12:01.589
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

12:02.249 --> 12:06.350
[SPEAKER_01]: The G one climax will begin Saturday and it's going to start up in Hokkaido.

12:06.370 --> 12:11.151
[SPEAKER_01]: They have two nights in Hokkaido and we'll get to who's leading off and who's against who they're when the time comes.

12:11.231 --> 12:12.512
[SPEAKER_01]: But two nights in Hokkaido.

12:13.252 --> 12:16.513
[SPEAKER_01]: So that'll be Saturday and Sunday and we are going to take a look at the blocks.

12:16.533 --> 12:19.973
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jeremy, do we just want to start with a block and start rolling down our contenders?

12:20.473 --> 12:20.754
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

12:20.794 --> 12:21.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

12:21.234 --> 12:26.595
[SPEAKER_02]: They did the lift to people according to like the chart, the flow chart that we have right here.

12:27.396 --> 12:41.413
[SPEAKER_02]: And so we can just run it down and talk about the kind of G one that I think they're gonna have here are gonna have like what they got you know just we're gonna spend some time on everybody and at the very end we'll talk about who we think might you know make it further

12:42.416 --> 12:45.037
[SPEAKER_01]: So the A-block is made up of these ten individuals.

12:45.077 --> 12:47.717
[SPEAKER_01]: We have the ASR president Hiroshi Tanahashi.

12:47.917 --> 12:53.679
[SPEAKER_01]: We have our holy emperor, Taichi, he's in there, and Hakido native.

12:53.739 --> 12:55.079
[SPEAKER_01]: So keep that in mind for this weekend.

12:56.379 --> 12:57.499
[SPEAKER_01]: You yet way morea.

12:58.020 --> 13:01.500
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the big name from Haontai in that one.

13:01.540 --> 13:05.761
[SPEAKER_01]: We also have another Haontai name, both in Ola.

13:06.001 --> 13:07.862
[SPEAKER_01]: The current never opened white champion.

13:08.622 --> 13:09.963
[SPEAKER_01]: Yoda Suji is in there.

13:10.224 --> 13:12.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Rio Heo Iwa is in there.

13:12.205 --> 13:14.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Calum Newman for the second tournament in a row.

13:14.767 --> 13:19.291
[SPEAKER_01]: He's he is there in a block David Finlay, the leader of the war dogs.

13:19.992 --> 13:23.995
[SPEAKER_01]: Ivil, the leader of House of Torture and Sonata.

13:24.015 --> 13:30.641
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's been intriguing little pairing there that we will have to we will see the round robin of all of those guys.

13:30.681 --> 13:32.022
[SPEAKER_02]: Who do you want to start off with today?

13:32.923 --> 13:34.405
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't been a chance to see the press conference.

13:34.425 --> 13:35.646
[SPEAKER_01]: I was watching a lot of applied.

13:36.364 --> 13:37.045
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, yes.

13:37.505 --> 13:47.592
[SPEAKER_02]: He walked out of there and read, uh, or in pink rain clickers and a mesh, uh, paint pair pants and like a mesh shirt and a pair of sunglasses.

13:48.053 --> 13:57.539
[SPEAKER_02]: And he basically just had a phone in a pan and he just walked out to the trophy and then that dude is living a gimmick of ID, G, A, F, and five.

13:59.447 --> 14:06.833
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's, yeah, yes, he's going, if you can't take him seriously as a wrestler anymore and he really can't, he's just as physically capable anymore.

14:06.853 --> 14:10.677
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess this is one way to just try to keep yourself in front of things.

14:10.737 --> 14:14.260
[SPEAKER_01]: But right now, he's just not physically capable of doing a whole lot on the ring.

14:14.300 --> 14:19.944
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is what we're going to get from Sonata in order to get advance himself there a little bit.

14:21.666 --> 14:26.410
[SPEAKER_01]: Scott, are you wrestling's asking scale of one to ten excitement level for this year's tournament?

14:28.035 --> 14:31.459
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it's kind of half seven six yeah six.

14:31.879 --> 14:36.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's and the reason is because it's a lot of sameness from last year.

14:36.264 --> 14:37.285
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not much turnover.

14:37.586 --> 14:38.366
[SPEAKER_01]: There are no guests.

14:38.647 --> 14:40.749
[SPEAKER_01]: These are all new Japan people.

14:40.869 --> 14:47.096
[SPEAKER_01]: You could make a case for Takeshita being a guest because they share him with AEW, but he was in last year's tournament.

14:48.157 --> 15:15.786
[SPEAKER_01]: what we're really looking at is basically last year's thing with a more prominent house of torture and no tetsuya nighto now nighto isn't physically able to go like he used to but he does draw well and we're going with less than that so for me it's uh it's a little shaky that this tournament needs to prove something to me Jeremy that we're not living in some sort of little house of torture nightmare program that's just going to continue to me yeah definitely I don't really feel like there is uh

15:16.753 --> 15:19.414
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a little bit of hold my beer.

15:20.035 --> 15:21.815
[SPEAKER_02]: It's our turn to show you what we've got.

15:21.835 --> 15:29.099
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sincerely hoping that this G-One is just to show up and show out for a lot of these guys.

15:29.519 --> 15:31.920
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we got a lot of new faces.

15:32.380 --> 15:37.763
[SPEAKER_02]: And a lot of faces that have been there a couple of times, but you know, had those stories like it's my first time.

15:38.604 --> 15:40.988
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, I by struggle now they're in it.

15:41.709 --> 15:45.675
[SPEAKER_02]: And it feels like they could actually be contenders and portrayed as such.

15:45.936 --> 15:50.022
[SPEAKER_02]: And with such I think we have some opportunity for some really great matches.

15:50.988 --> 15:53.809
[SPEAKER_01]: and go ahead and put your number in the comments.

15:53.869 --> 15:56.109
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to, we'll read them off here as we go along.

15:56.649 --> 16:07.112
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's begin Hiroshi Tanahashi Jeremy, of course, this is all part of his farewell tour as he finishes up his in-ring career for now.

16:07.352 --> 16:10.293
[SPEAKER_01]: So he said, it's a wrestle kingdom in January.

16:11.013 --> 16:17.775
[SPEAKER_01]: And he is going around wrestling a lot of people on the roster, of course, during these kinship matches and the final road matches.

16:18.844 --> 16:25.286
[SPEAKER_01]: And here he gets nine singles matches over the course of what will almost certainly be his final G-One climax.

16:25.406 --> 16:28.767
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't expect Tana Hashie to contend for the title.

16:29.007 --> 16:31.587
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's going to just job out himself.

16:31.667 --> 16:33.168
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's going to do that.

16:33.408 --> 16:34.628
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll beat some of these guys.

16:34.868 --> 16:37.269
[SPEAKER_01]: But what he's getting rear four matches?

16:37.989 --> 16:41.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we've seen evidence that he will put over the people.

16:41.170 --> 16:44.851
[SPEAKER_01]: He feels are either the current or the future stars.

16:45.031 --> 16:45.611
[SPEAKER_01]: He will do that.

16:45.691 --> 16:46.191
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're

16:47.773 --> 16:54.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of on the on the lower half of the card he'll beat you so I feel like he's going to get a couple of wins in this tournament.

16:54.559 --> 17:01.185
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think time of how she's going to be contending at the end, but you know who knows you might give himself one last run.

17:01.706 --> 17:06.110
[SPEAKER_02]: It's I don't I don't see that you know you don't in all honesty like

17:06.730 --> 17:22.044
[SPEAKER_02]: As we go through it all, all kind of just say the bottom four in the A block for me are going to be like Newman, Sonata, Tonahashi, and Ohiwa, you know, so that's kind of, that's kind of where I have them.

17:22.084 --> 17:31.333
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not going to be very last, but his Wimger going to be sparse and you know, he's going to be beaten lower guard guys, maybe a like a surprise guy.

17:32.038 --> 17:43.766
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, if you don't lose to the big stars, like, you know, the top guys in the bracket are not, are not going to lose to talk to Hoshie.

17:43.806 --> 17:50.051
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean, but like, somewhere in there, if you can be competitive with the bottom, but it's not the bottom, it's guys kind of thing.

17:50.511 --> 17:55.472
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we're going to have a really interesting like showcase for him and Tai Chi on that first night.

17:55.933 --> 18:00.514
[SPEAKER_02]: I think a lot of people are really looking forward to that because, you know, they're going to history between those guys.

18:00.614 --> 18:12.177
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, I think we're going to have more of an idea of what Tanahashi's wrestle kingdom is going to be at forbidden door rather than here.

18:13.238 --> 18:13.438
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

18:13.918 --> 18:21.582
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like you're going to have that mattress, Chibada, and then maybe something after that match, you know, like the person comes out and then wrestle kingdom set.

18:21.962 --> 18:32.246
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I could definitely see like everything being set by the end of August for him, and then we build up whatever that is in between whatever else is going on.

18:33.147 --> 18:35.208
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know.

18:35.408 --> 18:37.129
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been thinking about this for a while.

18:37.149 --> 18:39.670
[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of all she's talking to when did you want?

18:40.950 --> 18:42.471
[SPEAKER_02]: And if he doesn't win the G one,

18:43.398 --> 18:45.420
[SPEAKER_02]: You're probably going to main event rest looking them.

18:45.620 --> 18:47.861
[SPEAKER_02]: And the winner of the G-One might actually send my main.

18:49.723 --> 18:52.765
[SPEAKER_02]: If that's the case, you got to have a really big opponent.

18:54.486 --> 18:54.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you do.

18:55.027 --> 18:55.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you do.

18:55.948 --> 19:00.731
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, they're going with you guys.

19:00.751 --> 19:02.733
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it could go caught or knock a mirror.

19:04.172 --> 19:06.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, we got a long time to get to that.

19:06.593 --> 19:07.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's a lot of negotiations.

19:07.813 --> 19:09.173
[SPEAKER_01]: I have some theories about that, too.

19:09.713 --> 19:15.074
[SPEAKER_01]: And keep in mind, the winner of the G-One doesn't necessarily have to main event against the World Champion in a Wrestle Kingdom.

19:15.115 --> 19:15.895
[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't happen last year.

19:15.935 --> 19:17.275
[SPEAKER_01]: They moved into King of Pro Wrestling.

19:17.295 --> 19:17.935
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's some tin.

19:18.155 --> 19:23.416
[SPEAKER_01]: I have some tin foil hat theories about that coming up to interesting book and tournament for Tana Hashi.

19:23.736 --> 19:25.697
[SPEAKER_01]: You mentioned his match against Tahiti and Hakido.

19:26.798 --> 19:40.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, you can tell a lot of what's going to happen by looking at the last night of the tournament, because you can kind of tell whom my intention isn't and low and behold, his match, the final match of his G-One career will be against evil.

19:40.712 --> 19:42.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, there's a lot there, of course.

19:42.214 --> 19:48.100
[SPEAKER_01]: You have the president versus House of Torture, the group that is being portrayed is trying to tear his house down, so to speak.

19:48.601 --> 19:49.722
[SPEAKER_01]: You also have that

19:51.037 --> 19:52.117
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the cavefame story.

19:52.177 --> 19:57.259
[SPEAKER_01]: The behind the cavefame story is that he and Watanabe who plays evil have been tight for a long time.

19:57.380 --> 20:10.585
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a relationship between those two and the idea that he has decided or gotten together with everyone and they have decided that his last G-One block match will be against Watanabe as evil.

20:11.205 --> 20:19.088
[SPEAKER_01]: It speaks a little bit of all I'm saying we may need our hero Tana Hashie to have one last push to rescue us from the house of torture.

20:20.189 --> 20:21.189
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't feel great about that.

20:21.369 --> 20:22.930
[SPEAKER_02]: They already did that at Russell kingdom.

20:23.090 --> 20:28.013
[SPEAKER_02]: If they're, if they're doing an evil in Taunahashi run back, well, I don't feel great about that at all.

20:28.053 --> 20:30.995
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I mean, I also don't think it'll be the final one between the two.

20:31.075 --> 20:37.419
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we might be setting something up because there are a couple of big events between G one and Tokyo dumb.

20:37.439 --> 20:38.360
[SPEAKER_01]: There's came a pro wrestling.

20:38.380 --> 20:39.240
[SPEAKER_01]: There's power struggle.

20:39.320 --> 20:40.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Power struggle is in there as well.

20:41.001 --> 20:43.563
[SPEAKER_01]: There are chapters before you get to the very final.

20:43.903 --> 20:45.804
[SPEAKER_01]: He might have to deal with evil one more time.

20:46.104 --> 20:47.245
[SPEAKER_01]: Be fair after this as well.

20:47.545 --> 20:50.227
[SPEAKER_02]: He might have an opportunity to, but I don't know.

20:50.307 --> 20:54.230
[SPEAKER_02]: I got, I really worried about people over the next four months.

20:54.250 --> 20:58.814
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm going to go on a run you guys, and that you just go on a run.

20:59.374 --> 21:00.475
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get some of these ratings here.

21:00.515 --> 21:01.696
[SPEAKER_01]: Brad says it's tournament season.

21:01.756 --> 21:03.417
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm always excited about that alone.

21:03.797 --> 21:06.219
[SPEAKER_01]: The G-One and the five star have me at eight.

21:06.259 --> 21:07.420
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm fired up about the five star.

21:07.460 --> 21:08.861
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fired up about DreamStar.

21:08.881 --> 21:10.723
[SPEAKER_01]: My regal has got a nice little tournament going to.

21:10.743 --> 21:15.987
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know when I'm going to sleep either or anything else with a matter of just watching wrestling, which is not the worst thing in the world.

21:16.387 --> 21:18.128
[SPEAKER_01]: John the Raka, he's got it as six.

21:18.248 --> 21:19.770
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to feel in the way we are on there.

21:20.510 --> 21:22.612
[SPEAKER_01]: Brad mentions also there are no off day matches.

21:22.652 --> 21:24.453
[SPEAKER_01]: So to speak, if you're in, you have to go hard.

21:24.493 --> 21:27.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no Yano, no Yujero, nothing like that.

21:27.656 --> 21:31.559
[SPEAKER_01]: The most off day is Sanada, and I think he can still have solid matches when he cares.

21:33.200 --> 21:39.386
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to thank so I don't know when he cares and I also don't know if he's really physically capable anymore.

21:39.406 --> 21:40.967
[SPEAKER_01]: His he's pretty shot.

21:42.208 --> 21:44.731
[SPEAKER_01]: Collins says he's going to give the end one a watch when it starts.

21:44.751 --> 21:46.572
[SPEAKER_01]: That'll probably be pretty good this year too.

21:46.632 --> 21:46.973
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot.

21:47.313 --> 21:48.214
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam is excited though.

21:48.234 --> 21:49.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam's the optimist of the group.

21:49.395 --> 21:52.157
[SPEAKER_01]: She says he's always excited about G one and has it as an eight.

21:52.958 --> 21:53.979
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeremy is surprised.

21:54.019 --> 21:54.940
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no Lance archer.

21:55.100 --> 21:56.621
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a few years for Lance right there.

21:56.661 --> 22:02.565
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been busy over in, well, I don't know if he's been busy, but he hasn't been called by New Japan for a while.

22:03.185 --> 22:04.886
[SPEAKER_01]: And crash TV, eighty three.

22:04.946 --> 22:05.387
[SPEAKER_01]: Good to see you.

22:05.407 --> 22:06.427
[SPEAKER_01]: He says I really hope to eat.

22:06.447 --> 22:07.328
[SPEAKER_01]: He gets a good run.

22:07.768 --> 22:09.509
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be dependent on the game.

22:09.569 --> 22:10.530
[SPEAKER_02]: Talk about Tahichi.

22:11.248 --> 22:14.730
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be dependent on the game he brings, though he was originally frozen out.

22:15.991 --> 22:18.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, my my theory on that is that he was always in this thing.

22:19.072 --> 22:20.753
[SPEAKER_01]: But damn he's been working hard for some time.

22:20.793 --> 22:21.754
[SPEAKER_01]: He deserves a good run.

22:21.774 --> 22:22.734
[SPEAKER_01]: He meant to that.

22:23.034 --> 22:24.815
[SPEAKER_01]: I absolutely agree with you.

22:24.955 --> 22:29.218
[SPEAKER_01]: So the rocket says I'm a bit nervous about Tanahashi's health coming out of this G one.

22:29.598 --> 22:31.399
[SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of singles matches for a guy with no knees.

22:32.419 --> 22:35.483
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure he's going to get hopped up on court as on like crazy.

22:35.503 --> 22:39.968
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to be jamming those needles and his needs the whole time and he's just going to kind of get his way through it.

22:40.008 --> 22:43.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully no serious injuries to put his Tokyo don't final match in jeopardy.

22:45.429 --> 22:48.210
[SPEAKER_01]: is not great at holding back in these moments.

22:48.330 --> 22:53.351
[SPEAKER_01]: He still does the high fly flow and misses it and crashes on his knees and the middle of the ring right there.

22:53.871 --> 22:58.132
[SPEAKER_01]: When the energy does hit him, he tries.

22:58.552 --> 23:08.374
[SPEAKER_01]: His body doesn't necessarily allow him, but I have a feeling he's going to be working pretty hard and there will be some moments where we are cringing a little bit and hoping for the best.

23:08.474 --> 23:14.276
[SPEAKER_01]: When I think there's for instance, I think there's going to be at least one or two dives from the top rope to the floor in this.

23:14.376 --> 23:14.896
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we're

23:15.379 --> 23:15.543
[SPEAKER_01]: that.

23:17.307 --> 23:19.328
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think, I think you're right on the ton of hot.

23:19.348 --> 23:21.549
[SPEAKER_02]: She's saying something that we need to do after the G one.

23:21.589 --> 23:28.653
[SPEAKER_02]: If we need to go up and down the roster and just check off who he's wrestled and who he has left because he had that very ambitious.

23:28.993 --> 23:30.714
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to wrestle everybody all that roster.

23:31.254 --> 23:33.796
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're probably like, how's the torture guys?

23:33.856 --> 23:35.236
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to tell him to kick rocks.

23:35.356 --> 23:37.317
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can get out of that.

23:37.357 --> 23:45.862
[SPEAKER_02]: Like knock that one off the list and maybe some of the, and you know, who get a couple of these, you know, some of these unafiliated guys, he wrestled throughout the G one.

23:46.482 --> 23:50.084
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, a lot of steel to be a couple of hunting guys and he's kind of talked all the now.

23:50.224 --> 23:55.726
[SPEAKER_01]: So now you're not looking forward to the big tens on town of Hashemash.

23:56.046 --> 23:58.587
[SPEAKER_02]: One way or another, we're going to get through it.

24:00.288 --> 24:01.748
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just not convinced those two will.

24:01.788 --> 24:02.249
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a problem.

24:02.969 --> 24:05.070
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I actually think that.

24:06.330 --> 24:10.052
[SPEAKER_02]: Tana Hosh is probably going to make it just fine to to Tokyo dome.

24:10.861 --> 24:22.652
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's just a vibe like he he's wrestling a little recklessly, but there's a lot of time between now and then that if the G one kind of reps him, he can still he can still go.

24:23.801 --> 24:33.324
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's it's on the hash he's one of those guys too, where he he he can be smart when he won't really want me sometimes you're right he gets excited he tries to to impress but he's he's a smart guy.

24:33.404 --> 24:35.305
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he was I got to make it to that dump show.

24:35.365 --> 24:36.785
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't do anything to keep you out of that dump.

24:37.265 --> 24:41.667
[SPEAKER_02]: He's also, you know, like with the roster being what it is the night of being gone.

24:41.947 --> 24:48.649
[SPEAKER_02]: The idea of him being off the road to the injury, probably going to hurt the fatigue a little bit too on that final road kinship stuff.

24:49.107 --> 24:54.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm not convinced that nighto is missing Russell Kane in this year.

24:54.589 --> 24:55.790
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll get to that when we get to it.

24:56.070 --> 24:57.991
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, he's freelance.

24:58.031 --> 24:59.311
[SPEAKER_01]: He can always say, Hey, we'll go on.

24:59.731 --> 25:03.233
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's kind of how she eight points would be a big tournament for him.

25:04.734 --> 25:05.874
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a matter about fit.

25:06.574 --> 25:14.077
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's a middle of the road, but lower middle of the road, lower end of the middle.

25:14.698 --> 25:14.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

25:15.178 --> 25:15.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

25:15.946 --> 25:17.247
[SPEAKER_01]: Hush, kind of how she next up.

25:17.287 --> 25:21.569
[SPEAKER_01]: We have our holy emperor Tahiti, the sentimental favorite now with go to out.

25:21.589 --> 25:26.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, they went through both hell and high water to get into this tournament.

25:26.151 --> 25:27.532
[SPEAKER_01]: And now we have our man here.

25:28.592 --> 25:31.734
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's one of these things where the people are going to be

25:32.880 --> 25:33.781
[SPEAKER_01]: way behind him.

25:33.821 --> 25:38.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they are going to be chanting hard for Taichi all the way through this thing.

25:39.046 --> 25:41.428
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to use that to play to our emotions.

25:41.969 --> 25:43.911
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he is going to have a strong G one.

25:43.931 --> 25:47.334
[SPEAKER_01]: This could be the thing, Jeremy, where he wins a few matches.

25:47.454 --> 25:48.975
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe he gets off to a big start.

25:50.297 --> 25:54.823
[SPEAKER_01]: And especially because the first two nights are in Hokkaido and the first two nights are also all block matches.

25:55.364 --> 26:02.674
[SPEAKER_01]: So everybody is going to have two matches in the books by the time they leave the island there and leave Seporo.

26:03.945 --> 26:22.350
[SPEAKER_01]: I can see how each of you getting off to a good start getting that hometown push a little bit there and getting everybody excited and maybe have some valiant losses along the way where he comes within an inch but dies just barely on the barely dies on the hill type of thing one of those like a little heartbreaker type of losses as they happen all the way through.

26:23.230 --> 26:26.115
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love for Taiichi to make post-block play.

26:26.175 --> 26:31.504
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really see it happening, but I think throughout he's going to be one of the most intriguing figures to watch.

26:31.644 --> 26:35.330
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you look at the singles matches he has in a block.

26:36.604 --> 26:38.486
[SPEAKER_01]: He knows how to work with a lot of these guys.

26:38.606 --> 26:40.828
[SPEAKER_01]: He knows how to make a lot of this stuff really, really good.

26:40.908 --> 26:43.410
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to have a big, I think he's going to have a big month.

26:43.470 --> 26:45.912
[SPEAKER_01]: He might not advance out of the block.

26:46.332 --> 26:52.838
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think when we finished this G one, we're going to be talking about how to, he had a hell of a run was fun to watch.

26:52.878 --> 26:53.839
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my thought on that one.

26:54.779 --> 26:56.161
[SPEAKER_01]: You took the word, Greg out of my mouth.

26:59.932 --> 27:07.737
[SPEAKER_02]: I did the block play and the thing that was in the back of my mind was the student replacing Goda and Goda was the world champion.

27:08.597 --> 27:21.866
[SPEAKER_02]: So whether you want to think that this was a last minute thing or that they had this planned for a while kind of is predicated on your mind of thinking.

27:22.346 --> 27:28.590
[SPEAKER_02]: I am going with the logic that this was so last minute that

27:30.455 --> 27:41.741
[SPEAKER_02]: Geto and crew had to just slide somebody into whatever go to look before, not that go to a plan to be out, like casting happened quickly.

27:42.281 --> 27:50.426
[SPEAKER_02]: So if they made a decision, I feel like it happened very quickly after they even the G-One post-walk play, but the window was okay.

27:50.906 --> 27:52.767
[SPEAKER_02]: So if that's the case,

27:54.257 --> 27:54.998
[SPEAKER_02]: Titech has got a book.

27:55.158 --> 28:00.381
[SPEAKER_02]: He booked very strong because go to can't get dropped out even though he just lost the title.

28:01.522 --> 28:12.069
[SPEAKER_02]: And the people that he loses to have to be top guys who the way ended up for me was that there was a four way tie for twelve.

28:12.910 --> 28:14.731
[SPEAKER_02]: And that one person got squeezed out.

28:15.412 --> 28:17.353
[SPEAKER_02]: And in this case, Titech is going to be that guy.

28:18.994 --> 28:19.294
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

28:19.695 --> 28:20.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we'll take a look.

28:20.475 --> 28:27.081
[SPEAKER_01]: His last opponent in block play is the never open way champion, both of them.

28:27.181 --> 28:27.702
[SPEAKER_01]: So only bold.

28:28.002 --> 28:29.423
[SPEAKER_01]: That's intriguing right there.

28:29.443 --> 28:34.007
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a feeling that that match will have significance in post block.

28:34.367 --> 28:36.789
[SPEAKER_01]: Could be one of those winning your in type of matches right there.

28:36.890 --> 28:39.172
[SPEAKER_01]: So that I think to each, he's going to be in the mix.

28:39.672 --> 28:42.895
[SPEAKER_02]: There are that last night of really interesting.

28:43.075 --> 28:43.315
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

28:43.355 --> 28:44.796
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I think there are

28:45.777 --> 28:47.779
[SPEAKER_02]: every single match minus.

28:48.580 --> 28:49.600
[SPEAKER_02]: See the last thing here.

28:50.641 --> 28:51.502
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll read it off to you.

28:51.562 --> 28:54.484
[SPEAKER_01]: So the A block finals in gunmak because this stuff does matter.

28:54.625 --> 28:57.127
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we know that there were a lot of people are going to be involved.

28:57.787 --> 29:01.370
[SPEAKER_01]: At least mathematically involved on the A block finals August tenth in gunma.

29:02.571 --> 29:03.972
[SPEAKER_01]: You a morrow versus Finlay.

29:04.797 --> 29:07.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, hi, hi, he versus Bolton, right?

29:07.318 --> 29:17.924
[SPEAKER_01]: And Bolton, I wouldn't take Bolton so seriously for post block playing normally, but he's the never open way champion and they don't job that guy out and they don't.

29:19.065 --> 29:22.127
[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't mean he's going to one hundred percent, but he's going to be in the mix.

29:22.947 --> 29:25.128
[SPEAKER_01]: Tata Hashie versus evil.

29:25.188 --> 29:25.908
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about that.

29:25.948 --> 29:35.230
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have a feeling that was going to be a lot of significance that that one's going to mean a lot with the hope that Tata Hashie can maybe save it from a house of torture, influence.

29:35.710 --> 29:38.711
[SPEAKER_01]: And then yeah, Calum Newman versus Yoda Suji.

29:39.491 --> 29:40.951
[SPEAKER_01]: That's that seems like it no matter.

29:41.351 --> 29:44.832
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the one match where it feels like not this year, guys.

29:45.472 --> 29:48.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, maybe in the future, Sonata versus Rio, Rio, Iowa.

29:48.493 --> 29:48.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

29:48.673 --> 29:52.034
[SPEAKER_01]: We all love a way, but we all feel the twenty twenty five isn't his year.

29:52.134 --> 29:54.015
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there are other stories they're telling this year.

29:54.475 --> 29:58.516
[SPEAKER_01]: And that OE was probably going to be a bigger deal in twenty twenty six going forward.

29:58.596 --> 30:03.378
[SPEAKER_01]: So I feel like that's Sonata, we want to thank will probably be that first one after in a mission.

30:04.814 --> 30:07.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the way I see that night going, okay?

30:07.977 --> 30:11.300
[SPEAKER_02]: You have that first match, a real, hey, oh, you have versus Sonata.

30:11.940 --> 30:14.843
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's, they're both eliminated and it's called sequential.

30:15.383 --> 30:24.411
[SPEAKER_02]: You then have Tai Chi versus Oleg Bolton, which took Tai Chi at twelve that night or Oleg Bolton at twelve.

30:24.852 --> 30:27.014
[SPEAKER_02]: Either one of them would get twelve that night.

30:27.594 --> 30:31.799
[SPEAKER_02]: But that doesn't mean, yes, any one of them is going to do that.

30:32.721 --> 30:39.669
[SPEAKER_02]: After that, you have the you get we more versus David Finley, which if David Finley doesn't win, you out.

30:40.485 --> 30:45.247
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you have the Yoda suit you versus Calum Newman match and if Yoda suit you doesn't win, he's out.

30:46.008 --> 30:51.750
[SPEAKER_02]: And then finally you have evil versus Hiroshi Tanahashi and if evil doesn't win, he's out.

30:52.131 --> 30:57.073
[SPEAKER_02]: But they all three win and Taiichi doesn't make it to both walk play.

30:57.413 --> 30:59.154
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what I kind of broke out that night.

30:59.394 --> 31:01.516
[SPEAKER_01]: I think tie breakers are definitely coming to play here.

31:02.077 --> 31:06.021
[SPEAKER_01]: And looking at the B-block finals, too, I can see another scenario where tie breakers come in.

31:06.441 --> 31:10.825
[SPEAKER_01]: It won't be a, I don't think either block will be as simple as the halves and they have knots like they do sometimes.

31:10.865 --> 31:12.447
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this thing's going to be kind of a schmazz.

31:12.867 --> 31:13.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

31:13.067 --> 31:13.608
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

31:13.728 --> 31:18.793
[SPEAKER_02]: He only loses to Suji evil and family, which are the three other guys in the tie breaker.

31:19.193 --> 31:20.815
[SPEAKER_02]: And he gets we've doubt on the whole thing.

31:21.252 --> 31:25.434
[SPEAKER_01]: Look out for Sonata and Tahiti, because that one has a lot of history to it.

31:25.734 --> 31:31.636
[SPEAKER_01]: And they could be setting up Sonata to screw Tahiti in some way to set up more with them.

31:31.936 --> 31:33.336
[SPEAKER_01]: They have unfinished business still.

31:33.757 --> 31:34.697
[SPEAKER_01]: That could happen too.

31:35.577 --> 31:40.639
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing about the house torture, we'll talk to it more and we get about Sonata is that you just never know.

31:40.699 --> 31:45.541
[SPEAKER_01]: There's one where you think, well, that guy's definitely higher on the card than that guy, but their wild card started.

31:45.581 --> 31:48.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so that's our thoughts on Tahiti, who's next in the Able?

31:48.663 --> 31:49.604
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's go here.

31:49.864 --> 31:50.965
[SPEAKER_02]: And so this is okay.

31:50.985 --> 31:58.713
[SPEAKER_02]: They're by the way, we got graphic cards for everyone who originally made the G one and then they haven't made graphic cards for anyone who made a play it.

31:59.214 --> 32:02.377
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is literally the website gimmick right here.

32:03.398 --> 32:04.919
[SPEAKER_01]: You, yeah, way more on now.

32:06.050 --> 32:08.592
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got some interesting matches coming up here on this one.

32:09.012 --> 32:13.916
[SPEAKER_01]: So you, you way more, I expect big things from going more.

32:14.917 --> 32:17.699
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he might actually make post-block play this year.

32:17.859 --> 32:18.580
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it might happen.

32:19.661 --> 32:23.083
[SPEAKER_01]: That match with Finlay at the end just tells me that he's going to be very consequential.

32:23.164 --> 32:28.167
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, there needs to be some true hauntie presence in the

32:30.229 --> 32:48.632
[SPEAKER_01]: post block play and I don't see any of it really coming from the B block you don't I don't and we're gonna we'll talk about when we get there but I don't really see Han Thai coming out of of B block so with that in mind I think it needs to come from here

32:49.994 --> 32:52.755
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, amor is an intriguing figure in this tournament.

32:53.115 --> 32:54.935
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you can totally count him out of it.

32:55.375 --> 33:03.217
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I don't think I have him winning it, but I do see him coming out of this block and making the playoffs here.

33:03.477 --> 33:14.440
[SPEAKER_01]: I think part of this story, too, this whole time, how she's story is, if not officially, a bit of a handoff, bringing up a guy that can be the next

33:15.724 --> 33:19.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Guy that's going to wipe his sweat with people's towels and hug the kids.

33:19.885 --> 33:25.127
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if it's going to be um, um, no, like they were trying to for a while.

33:25.187 --> 33:26.227
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it might be this guy.

33:26.247 --> 33:27.148
[SPEAKER_01]: And we've always talked about it.

33:27.388 --> 33:30.429
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he moral looks more like the next time I have she than anybody else does.

33:31.369 --> 33:35.330
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, with we will kind of toast in there in some ways, but I owe him more.

33:35.370 --> 33:36.091
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like it.

33:36.211 --> 33:41.192
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this might be time for them to start bringing him forward a little bit more.

33:41.512 --> 33:43.373
[SPEAKER_01]: And I see him having a good tournament here.

33:44.453 --> 33:47.396
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're going to do, I think it's going to score a lot of points.

33:48.097 --> 33:57.806
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, but I think a lot of people are going to score a lot of points and he's going to end up in the middle of the bracketing, you know, I got him, I got him in double digits.

33:58.493 --> 34:01.614
[SPEAKER_02]: But I got half of nothing guys in this block and double ditch.

34:02.234 --> 34:03.534
[SPEAKER_02]: And then someone's going to lose.

34:04.074 --> 34:07.255
[SPEAKER_02]: And then a bunch of guys score winning like two two matches.

34:07.835 --> 34:08.295
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

34:08.315 --> 34:12.556
[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's a lot of talent at the top of this, the top of this.

34:12.836 --> 34:19.218
[SPEAKER_02]: And a lot of people are going to play spoil or just one guy here or there, but not necessarily throughout.

34:19.238 --> 34:19.998
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

34:20.038 --> 34:23.699
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it just, everyone has a role to play a specific part of it.

34:24.279 --> 34:27.180
[SPEAKER_02]: And you get who we mirror feels like, okay, what?

34:28.440 --> 34:34.504
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like you and we were just gonna have a lot of big wins against the top guys.

34:35.645 --> 34:40.809
[SPEAKER_02]: I can see him beating evil and I can see him beating Yoda Suji this year.

34:40.849 --> 34:44.211
[SPEAKER_02]: He came very close last year and there was a whole thing there.

34:44.771 --> 34:53.598
[SPEAKER_02]: And so when it comes down to that last night and you can get to finally, if that tiebreaker, if he gets well, all of a sudden he shoots up to the top of those.

34:54.338 --> 34:58.783
[SPEAKER_02]: shoot him to the top of that block, but if he doesn't win, he's right down at the middle.

34:58.823 --> 35:01.166
[SPEAKER_02]: So I kind of have him around five wins.

35:01.326 --> 35:10.457
[SPEAKER_02]: If he got since, he'd end up in post block way, but that last match against thinly, it's like one of the others going in and to me, like I think it's thinly.

35:11.457 --> 35:12.878
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's take a look at some comments here.

35:13.119 --> 35:19.444
[SPEAKER_01]: Crash TV has this says, it's on a actually dove off the top rope outside the ring on the gate in their mat recently.

35:19.484 --> 35:20.365
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of cover my eyes.

35:20.405 --> 35:22.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, one of them, anyway, that's one for the sickos.

35:23.247 --> 35:26.731
[SPEAKER_01]: So Crash also mentions they've been doing a bit of a build like that for you, y'all, right?

35:26.991 --> 35:30.554
[SPEAKER_01]: The whole U of feeds the starving kids and works in soup kitchens in the downtime.

35:30.834 --> 35:32.095
[SPEAKER_01]: They've been dropping all this lore.

35:32.115 --> 35:32.796
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, definitely.

35:32.916 --> 35:41.864
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been, there have been things that are popped up on the websites on the YouTube page about how, oh, I'm more as a, you know, a wonderful human being that you should model your children after.

35:41.884 --> 35:42.985
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a little messy.

35:43.005 --> 35:47.568
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, no, you still cook and you're not quite, you're not ready to win this thing.

35:47.689 --> 35:51.071
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not sure he's the hauntie guy.

35:51.272 --> 36:01.040
[SPEAKER_02]: I do have a hauntie person in B block making it to post block play, uh, care if to see, uh, what you think when we get there.

36:01.690 --> 36:01.950
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

36:02.591 --> 36:06.874
[SPEAKER_01]: And Brad, we're going to get to years when we start doing the predictions at the end, but I will get to those comments.

36:06.894 --> 36:08.194
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that is bold, Brad.

36:08.575 --> 36:09.235
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it is.

36:09.335 --> 36:09.655
[SPEAKER_01]: It is.

36:09.675 --> 36:10.456
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an interesting one.

36:10.516 --> 36:10.756
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

36:10.796 --> 36:11.637
[SPEAKER_01]: So you, you're way more.

36:11.657 --> 36:12.918
[SPEAKER_01]: We feel like he's having a strong night.

36:12.958 --> 36:13.338
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be.

36:15.582 --> 36:16.422
[SPEAKER_01]: Bolton Oleg.

36:16.462 --> 36:21.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is a guy like I said, you have to kind of bump him up a little bit holding that never open weight championship.

36:21.925 --> 36:24.046
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't want to job out their major champions.

36:24.066 --> 36:28.368
[SPEAKER_01]: There's another guy on the other block that you're going to have to take seriously as well that we will talk about.

36:28.388 --> 36:36.172
[SPEAKER_01]: But Bolton, very similar to almost Ajian and my thinking in that I think he's going to do well.

36:36.712 --> 36:37.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's going to win.

36:38.393 --> 36:44.156
[SPEAKER_01]: But with that never open weight championship, they will use this tournament to set up challenges for him.

36:44.836 --> 37:07.063
[SPEAKER_01]: in the future a little bit and that it's not a hundred percent that the secondary titles have challengers and in fact the people beat the world champion don't even always get it so it's not pin the champion get a title shot is a little bit more of a cliche than it's a reality when it comes to this stuff but I also think that they can get some some stories out of that with who beats Bolton but he's gonna be facing to H.E.

37:07.083 --> 37:10.704
[SPEAKER_01]: on the last night someone's gonna get in someone's gonna not and that someone's gonna miss out

37:11.684 --> 37:12.664
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not winning this tournament.

37:12.684 --> 37:13.425
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not ready to.

37:13.905 --> 37:18.707
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just not he is improving rapidly, but he's not at that level quite yet.

37:19.707 --> 37:28.791
[SPEAKER_01]: So interesting thing for me to see is so where he is coming out of this thing with that never open weight title and who might be his challenger.

37:30.032 --> 37:38.315
[SPEAKER_02]: You know who I kind of have kind of slotted as the challenger for Old Bolton coming out of it is a real Halo.

37:39.707 --> 37:41.367
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that would be a good choice.

37:41.728 --> 37:43.048
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that would be a smart choice.

37:43.088 --> 37:50.470
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it would give, oh, we were a big win in a tournament in which he's probably not going to get a ton of those.

37:51.050 --> 37:55.411
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's wrestling him earlier, like night two.

37:55.431 --> 37:57.872
[SPEAKER_02]: And also it's a no kind of.

37:58.272 --> 38:07.354
[SPEAKER_02]: It would be, you know, oh, I could definitely beat him that night, you know, but just kind of looking at this, you know, bold going to have a lot of

38:08.445 --> 38:09.265
[SPEAKER_02]: strong win.

38:09.646 --> 38:13.087
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's going to, I think he's also one of those guys that's going to have double digit wins.

38:13.127 --> 38:14.368
[SPEAKER_02]: He's never openweight champion.

38:14.768 --> 38:17.529
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't have this guy only winning like a point.

38:18.050 --> 38:33.137
[SPEAKER_02]: If you got like one of the second like the two mid tier titles that that really, really matter and this guy is the guy that you build towards it has to be a, oh, this guy came really close to Pokemon play, but you know, it just wasn't his year.

38:34.277 --> 38:34.437
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

38:34.497 --> 38:37.239
[SPEAKER_02]: So I have him at that like that ten thing.

38:38.080 --> 38:40.662
[SPEAKER_02]: Guy if I haven't been eating, I actually haven't been sitting.

38:41.022 --> 38:41.943
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been eating evil.

38:44.385 --> 38:50.750
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been eating Louis Murrah and then Sonata Newman, you know, and then he loses to a couple of those guys.

38:50.850 --> 38:55.673
[SPEAKER_02]: Fuji, Tai Chi, Donashi.

38:55.753 --> 38:56.054
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

38:56.354 --> 38:57.675
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I haven't losing to Donashi.

38:58.747 --> 38:59.067
[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

38:59.127 --> 38:59.728
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't matter.

38:59.908 --> 39:05.692
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like you loved Tonahashi and, you know, you know, Tonahashi can sneak one on him and they won't run it back.

39:05.732 --> 39:07.273
[SPEAKER_02]: They've already, they've already done their thing.

39:07.293 --> 39:09.974
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, so, you know, I love this guy.

39:10.114 --> 39:10.715
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't matter.

39:10.795 --> 39:15.598
[SPEAKER_02]: So I've tonahashi kind of sneaking one on him and, you know, to, again, not as you.

39:16.699 --> 39:17.119
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

39:17.299 --> 39:18.240
[SPEAKER_01]: After that, who do we have?

39:19.200 --> 39:19.421
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

39:20.781 --> 39:21.942
[SPEAKER_01]: Yo to Suji.

39:21.982 --> 39:22.723
[SPEAKER_01]: Now this dude.

39:24.872 --> 39:26.193
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a lot here.

39:27.394 --> 39:29.775
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is one of the true contenders to win this tournament.

39:29.995 --> 39:37.859
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is one of the guys that could absolutely come through this thing with his name on the streamer holding up the trophy at the end.

39:37.879 --> 39:40.620
[SPEAKER_01]: He has Callum Newman on the final night.

39:41.061 --> 39:44.042
[SPEAKER_01]: That could be a doer die type of match for Yoda.

39:45.143 --> 39:48.925
[SPEAKER_01]: But this whole thing feels to me like he is

39:51.523 --> 39:59.687
[SPEAKER_01]: He started to feel special in a little way, the way they're portraying him, they are very careful in the way they book him, they're careful with who they put him in with, certainly careful about who beats him.

40:02.208 --> 40:08.511
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, if he were going to get there and have a good tournament and not be in position to win it, you just leave the title on him.

40:09.791 --> 40:14.894
[SPEAKER_01]: To me, like, freeing him of that title is another guy like that too.

40:17.435 --> 40:19.536
[SPEAKER_01]: And to me, this is one of the true contenders for this term.

40:19.556 --> 40:20.716
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this could be his year.

40:20.817 --> 40:21.737
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll just say it right here.

40:22.077 --> 40:25.379
[SPEAKER_01]: This is my pick to come out of the A block.

40:25.459 --> 40:27.279
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you notice they're just going to be in the G one finals.

40:30.821 --> 40:31.641
[SPEAKER_02]: He feels like the guy.

40:33.782 --> 40:41.466
[SPEAKER_02]: He feels like if you're going to, if you're, if Newspend back into the wall, and they're like, we have to make a guy this year.

40:42.244 --> 40:46.708
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, we have to figure it out in the next six months, even if it's half cooked.

40:47.248 --> 40:49.710
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, if we got to pick a guy, this is the guy.

40:50.611 --> 41:06.985
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, there's everyone else has felt that the audience in Japan has not been able to look past at a main event level, but they've been able more so to look at you to Suji and say, yeah, okay.

41:08.237 --> 41:10.239
[SPEAKER_02]: were with you, is he ready?

41:10.719 --> 41:14.482
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not a hundred percent sure, but he feels like the guy.

41:14.942 --> 41:16.443
[SPEAKER_01]: He charisma wise he's ready.

41:17.024 --> 41:18.385
[SPEAKER_01]: He has all the charisma now.

41:18.445 --> 41:24.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Can he put together that half hour G-One finals world heavyweight title match that's riveting from beginning to end?

41:24.850 --> 41:25.610
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's getting closer.

41:25.630 --> 41:26.951
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's getting closer.

41:27.532 --> 41:29.733
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I think he's going to take stuff forward.

41:29.773 --> 41:32.575
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like this is the guy coming out of A-Block there.

41:33.776 --> 41:35.758
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just so about the way they're presenting him.

41:37.950 --> 41:43.093
[SPEAKER_02]: You know that the way that they're doing it, you could have two people in the final grade block.

41:43.654 --> 41:45.175
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, you could.

41:45.255 --> 41:51.139
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think he's, I think you're going to go very far.

41:51.279 --> 41:52.640
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get to it at the very end.

41:52.780 --> 41:57.403
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, Yoda Fuji is one of my three three people to come out at the A-block.

41:58.277 --> 41:58.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

41:59.098 --> 41:59.338
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

41:59.378 --> 41:59.538
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

41:59.939 --> 42:00.199
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

42:00.319 --> 42:08.908
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, the thing is with Yoda, we'll get to what I think is going to happen to Yoda later on once we get through the the B block as well because I think his story.

42:10.192 --> 42:17.094
[SPEAKER_01]: ventures outside of the g one world title bubble a little bit as well, but we'll we'll get to all that.

42:17.114 --> 42:20.035
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have an interesting second half of the year, you know, to sushi.

42:20.155 --> 42:25.296
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that they if o a mora is in position to be the next tana.

42:26.016 --> 42:28.937
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is who they're hoping is that next knock a mora type.

42:29.397 --> 42:34.078
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my boy and you see, you know, charismatic dude, there's big plans.

42:35.538 --> 42:37.399
[SPEAKER_02]: The most difficult match.

42:38.908 --> 42:45.612
[SPEAKER_02]: that I had to decide through this entire, entire tournament came from this guy.

42:46.732 --> 42:50.134
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was the July twentieth match versus evil.

42:51.435 --> 42:52.215
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what you mean.

42:52.315 --> 42:52.536
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

42:53.036 --> 43:07.904
[SPEAKER_02]: I looked at that and I thought this match is probably going to be incredibly important through to this entire tournament and whoever wins it in the beginning will have ramifications for the rest of the year.

43:09.538 --> 43:16.381
[SPEAKER_01]: And to keep in mind, when you're talking about evil and Sonata, most of the macho's in this tour, they will have preview texts.

43:16.961 --> 43:22.324
[SPEAKER_01]: In those preview tags, there will be other members of House of Torture, which means they will have numbers everywhere.

43:22.404 --> 43:34.649
[SPEAKER_01]: And not that they really need them, because sometimes guys like Yujero and Dictogo show up even when they aren't, you know, books to wrestle, quote unquote, but they will be plenty of House of Torture Presence, so you can't throw any of it out.

43:35.029 --> 43:35.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead, and next one.

43:36.370 --> 43:36.610
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

43:38.034 --> 43:42.640
[SPEAKER_01]: And Sam has I'm glad to see this Sam has sushi in the finals as well there.

43:42.820 --> 43:46.305
[SPEAKER_01]: And she thinks he's going to go quite a ways as well.

43:46.425 --> 43:51.251
[SPEAKER_01]: So next is real here we were now we we talk about we will a little bit ago there, Jeremy.

43:52.590 --> 43:54.711
[SPEAKER_01]: And I still feel this way that this guy's a star.

43:55.072 --> 43:56.993
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no doubt that his time is coming.

43:57.353 --> 43:58.614
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just not twenty twenty five.

43:58.814 --> 44:03.176
[SPEAKER_01]: There's there's too much going on and you can't push everyone at once.

44:04.177 --> 44:07.259
[SPEAKER_01]: And in that sense, I feel like we was going to

44:08.219 --> 44:19.842
[SPEAKER_01]: get a couple of wins, but probably not factor into this G-One climax, although I think he's going to be a much bigger factor in future tournaments, but not twenty twenty five.

44:19.902 --> 44:22.063
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to be an also ran in this one.

44:22.103 --> 44:23.383
[SPEAKER_01]: And also ran it has good matches.

44:23.944 --> 44:24.844
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a talent to do.

44:25.224 --> 44:28.865
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't think the TMDK president's going to come from Rio, Hawaii, or we will post block play.

44:30.225 --> 44:41.982
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like his important is going to be a spoiler to threat another guy, you know, like his role is to to just mess with another guy's like opportunity.

44:42.503 --> 44:44.686
[SPEAKER_02]: And for me, that guy for him is simply.

44:45.247 --> 44:53.653
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's going to stop thinly from having like a run to just kind of coast on through to the finals.

44:54.414 --> 44:58.937
[SPEAKER_02]: And instead you can have to make him work for it a little bit after a couple other things.

44:59.097 --> 45:01.859
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that actually might be the first night matches.

45:01.959 --> 45:02.960
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you have recently.

45:04.180 --> 45:06.142
[SPEAKER_02]: But that one is one of my, look, check here.

45:08.932 --> 45:31.545
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that is the opening night match and because it's real hey we was first match ever in the G one you know what they like to do absolutely and you know what else they like to do with people who can tend is to put it behind me all early as well right so I think oh we were gonna have a great opportunity to you know have fit me and then you just

45:32.703 --> 45:36.064
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not going to quite win matches they need to win, but it was first year.

45:36.424 --> 45:43.486
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, he's in the role that you it was in last year, where it's like he's going to have great matches and all of a sudden we're going to get blown away.

45:44.006 --> 45:49.467
[SPEAKER_02]: And there might be an opportunity for him to, you know, like, wrestle both after the fact.

45:49.547 --> 45:54.268
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, you know, there are there are things that you could do, you know, like there are opportunities.

45:54.508 --> 45:56.369
[SPEAKER_01]: So, all right.

45:56.389 --> 45:58.429
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's what we will have to that.

46:02.170 --> 46:09.374
[SPEAKER_01]: Another guy that I think is going to, well, he certainly going to do better than last year where he was kind of put in and did jobs most of the way.

46:10.075 --> 46:14.818
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to finish more mid-pack here, but I just see, you know,

46:16.127 --> 46:29.249
[SPEAKER_01]: in a block with Uimura, Finlay, the never open-weight champion, evil, the faction leader, Yoda Suji, there's just no room at the top here for Calvin Newman at this point.

46:29.730 --> 46:36.351
[SPEAKER_01]: And while I think he's going to do well and he's going to score some important upsets, the upsets that will matter.

46:36.851 --> 46:42.172
[SPEAKER_01]: He will have a little bit, but I'm just saying that he's going to get some wins

46:43.592 --> 46:46.793
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not going, I don't think he's going to go one and eight to seven.

46:46.873 --> 46:52.675
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to finish more than a little bit of the pack, but he's, I don't see him being involved.

46:52.855 --> 46:55.657
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think he's going to be mathematically eliminated.

46:55.677 --> 46:56.777
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's in the spoiler.

46:57.097 --> 46:58.778
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to be mathematically eliminated.

46:58.818 --> 47:01.719
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he'll be in the spoiler role when it comes down to that final line.

47:02.799 --> 47:03.279
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

47:05.250 --> 47:08.074
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't laughed in the in my block in all honesty.

47:08.454 --> 47:20.349
[SPEAKER_01]: He either he either he either he or he or Sonata with Sonata cheating is way to a couple of important things, you know, but yeah, I kind of I kind of have them both without two points because like I said earlier.

47:21.504 --> 47:23.445
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, to win, sorry, four point.

47:23.566 --> 47:26.608
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I, I misspoke there.

47:26.808 --> 47:35.714
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, no, what I'm looking at it, like I said, there's so much point to be one at the top of this and like, twelve, twelve, twelve, twelve, twelve, ten, ten.

47:36.134 --> 47:40.056
[SPEAKER_02]: At the bottom are people who are not going to win a whole lot of matches.

47:40.597 --> 47:41.778
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not as one of those guys.

47:42.458 --> 47:45.181
[SPEAKER_02]: and Calvin Newman kind of feels like the other one.

47:45.481 --> 47:57.493
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have him for one upset, but I also had, yeah, I have him a spoiler to Uemura, you know, like a guy that calls him and book thinly in jeopardy.

47:57.953 --> 48:02.217
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like the, the thinly thing is all about strength, the schedule to me.

48:02.497 --> 48:05.020
[SPEAKER_02]: Like his losses are from guys that

48:05.668 --> 48:07.469
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, having beaten another guy.

48:07.549 --> 48:10.691
[SPEAKER_02]: So he got a tiebreaker thing kind of going on there.

48:11.131 --> 48:13.152
[SPEAKER_02]: That's kind of where I feel like sinliest.

48:13.513 --> 48:17.535
[SPEAKER_02]: I had him winning a lot of matches and it didn't feel right.

48:17.635 --> 48:19.556
[SPEAKER_02]: And then one could kind of brought it down a little bit.

48:19.996 --> 48:31.323
[SPEAKER_02]: It seemed like the most logical thing for him was to lose to the guys that everyone else has been beating because that way when I was working at

48:32.949 --> 48:35.091
[SPEAKER_02]: Chris answers to you of sport of pro wrestling.

48:35.452 --> 48:36.913
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to plug that one more time.

48:37.434 --> 48:43.520
[SPEAKER_02]: It would recalculate the block if you were going based off of who was winning or losing.

48:44.061 --> 48:53.611
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I could look at it and and I can see if you have if you tweaked one win here there and then you could think about the logic.

48:57.679 --> 48:59.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, couple of very similar to that.

48:59.839 --> 49:00.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

49:00.180 --> 49:07.821
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to ask the question about that both of you and Brad that because Brad's comment was I have Newman losing every match until the final two nights to gain his four points.

49:08.041 --> 49:15.783
[SPEAKER_01]: My only issue with that guy is this why I'm asking his last night's opponent as soon as you know, I have him as soon as he back into the finals then like he did.

49:15.803 --> 49:16.643
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was not.

49:16.883 --> 49:18.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Family and post block play.

49:18.663 --> 49:19.003
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys.

49:19.143 --> 49:19.544
[SPEAKER_02]: He beats.

49:19.564 --> 49:20.924
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

49:21.184 --> 49:21.944
[SPEAKER_02]: And those first years.

49:22.544 --> 49:22.944
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

49:23.784 --> 49:23.964
[SPEAKER_02]: Um.

49:26.025 --> 49:26.365
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just

49:27.400 --> 49:32.803
[SPEAKER_02]: I have him, he's the pinitor guy.

49:33.043 --> 49:35.725
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't mean that in a bad way.

49:35.765 --> 49:37.026
[SPEAKER_02]: He's exceptionally talented.

49:37.566 --> 49:44.210
[SPEAKER_02]: But when you look at that roster and the priority of people, he's not the priority.

49:45.170 --> 49:53.095
[SPEAKER_02]: And if his job to have great matches and climb that, climb that ladder rather than, oh, we got to make sure that Calvin Newman wants a bunch of matches.

49:53.853 --> 49:57.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and also I'm just looking at this in the A block too.

49:58.018 --> 49:59.620
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm having a hard time figuring what

50:02.146 --> 50:03.306
[SPEAKER_01]: what Newman's doing here.

50:03.326 --> 50:08.708
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, let me rephrase that because I, what he's doing here is having good matches in the tournament.

50:08.928 --> 50:09.988
[SPEAKER_01]: He deserves to be in this tournament.

50:10.008 --> 50:10.909
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad he's in the tournament.

50:11.309 --> 50:19.871
[SPEAKER_01]: But there really isn't even the Calum Newman block match that's intriguing in the sense that it has a story behind it like his matchup with Baito last year.

50:21.412 --> 50:23.733
[SPEAKER_01]: It just seems like it's just like I in the roster.

50:23.853 --> 50:24.733
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy there, yeah.

50:25.153 --> 50:31.435
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I, I look out of it like, well, when he was at the bottom of the list of like, I feel great.

50:32.096 --> 50:42.506
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I mean, like it just, the last five, like I said, we mirror, oh, you, uh, Tana Hashi, Sinaata, Newman, in no particular order at the top, you know, Fuji.

50:42.526 --> 50:47.110
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe slightly better than last year, but not a whole lot better than last year, but not a whole lot better than last year.

50:47.150 --> 50:58.000
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's just, you, you've just, like, I don't mean any ill will towards the rest of the guy, the talent, except for the talent, it's just not, you could guy.

50:58.367 --> 50:59.067
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not an insult.

50:59.107 --> 51:00.187
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you're in the G one.

51:00.227 --> 51:01.388
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an honor in and of itself.

51:01.628 --> 51:03.368
[SPEAKER_01]: And he, someone's going to lose these matches.

51:03.568 --> 51:03.948
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone does.

51:04.508 --> 51:06.249
[SPEAKER_02]: He got, he got in there before I tell you you did.

51:06.529 --> 51:11.950
[SPEAKER_02]: They like him, but you know, he got a job play.

51:12.350 --> 51:21.753
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got a hell of a long way from when he was a guy just doing a few willos, spray moves, and then getting beat, which was his first three months of New Japan, and to see him come along as much as he did.

51:21.773 --> 51:22.993
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been very satisfying for me.

51:23.113 --> 51:24.013
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.

51:24.053 --> 51:24.973
[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty amazing to me.

51:26.334 --> 51:26.634
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

51:28.968 --> 51:35.622
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just he he worked it out of Devon and that's David family now intriguing because

51:37.025 --> 51:41.946
[SPEAKER_01]: Finlay is a little bit in danger of getting lost in the shuffle of his own faction right now.

51:42.126 --> 51:46.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, in some ways, he's only the third most interesting guy in it in this tournament.

51:46.467 --> 51:49.788
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess certainly Gabe Kidd is the global champion on the other side.

51:49.848 --> 51:52.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Drill him alony is a wild card in this whole thing.

51:52.768 --> 51:54.969
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm curious to see how all this goes.

51:55.029 --> 51:56.789
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I think he's going to do well.

51:56.949 --> 51:58.870
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, they're going to want him to do well.

52:01.010 --> 52:04.431
[SPEAKER_01]: The question is, do they want to come out of this tournament with

52:05.439 --> 52:08.841
[SPEAKER_01]: questions as to who is actually leading the war dogs.

52:09.382 --> 52:12.924
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where this whole thing could be going depending on their performance in this thing.

52:14.558 --> 52:24.602
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we're talking about Uemora evil, Suji, Finlay, someone fairly important is going to be left out of post-block play altogether.

52:24.622 --> 52:39.508
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it might be, might be David Finlay, especially with that match against Uemora on the final night, feels like a playoff match, feels like one of those, winning your in-lose and you go home, type of things, and Finlay to me,

52:41.395 --> 52:42.944
[SPEAKER_01]: is very good.

52:43.145 --> 52:44.795
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he's an interesting character.

52:46.536 --> 52:51.659
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if winning the G-One this year is really the story, because I think there are other things going on.

52:51.699 --> 52:52.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to do well.

52:52.659 --> 52:56.081
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to be in the mix in the last play, but he might get squeezed out that last day.

52:57.062 --> 53:01.024
[SPEAKER_01]: Cold disclosure, my A block final three, and I went back and forth.

53:01.084 --> 53:02.585
[SPEAKER_01]: It's only more in Finlay.

53:02.625 --> 53:05.526
[SPEAKER_01]: That just like I said, feels like when you're in lose your out.

53:06.587 --> 53:14.431
[SPEAKER_01]: And I had it in both scenarios over and over again, but you know, but I thought Jesus got to be a hauntie guy and there can be a war dog guy in the other bracket.

53:15.756 --> 53:16.036
[SPEAKER_01]: evil.

53:16.377 --> 53:19.279
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like you have to have the threat of a house torture guy in there.

53:19.800 --> 53:26.606
[SPEAKER_01]: And I picked suit you to win the block because I think they have big I think they have big plans for him basically is my is my theory that we'll get to in a little while.

53:26.706 --> 53:29.809
[SPEAKER_01]: So I actually have family getting squeaked out.

53:30.629 --> 53:35.694
[SPEAKER_01]: But I am not I am not relatively bold not confident not confident.

53:37.175 --> 53:39.197
[SPEAKER_02]: That okay, bold prediction, Steven Godway.

53:39.337 --> 53:41.959
[SPEAKER_02]: And if that actually happened, we'll run it back.

53:42.059 --> 53:43.079
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll put this on a clip.

53:44.060 --> 53:47.102
[SPEAKER_02]: I will scream from the cook up that good of right.

53:48.643 --> 53:51.766
[SPEAKER_02]: I am, I am not on the same vibe with you.

53:53.287 --> 53:59.651
[SPEAKER_02]: I will tell you that my final three in this block are thinly, evil and sugy.

54:00.372 --> 54:01.813
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have it, I just miss them out.

54:01.913 --> 54:02.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

54:02.353 --> 54:05.135
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think thinly has

54:06.332 --> 54:08.953
[SPEAKER_02]: done a lot of jobs and he walked a lot of matches.

54:09.894 --> 54:30.885
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think there is a lot that can be rehabilitated if he is the A block by, you know, the winner of the A block, you know, the number one in getting the buy and kind of having that cloud and then going in there and maybe losing to the guy that he had that that advantage from the body.

54:31.640 --> 54:32.060
[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

54:32.240 --> 54:32.500
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

54:32.700 --> 54:45.543
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I've kind of thought it out a little bit because there are things happening after the rest of the kingdom that are kind of like, well, uh, yeah.

54:45.923 --> 54:46.923
[SPEAKER_01]: So here's the, here's the point.

54:46.963 --> 54:47.443
[SPEAKER_01]: The brand.

54:47.543 --> 54:47.743
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

54:47.763 --> 54:48.403
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at this.

54:48.483 --> 54:50.163
[SPEAKER_01]: And this was on my mind as well.

54:50.183 --> 54:54.964
[SPEAKER_01]: They said, if Finlay loses, does that mean he's WWE bound, corollary to that.

54:55.864 --> 54:58.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Part of my thinking on Finlay is why they have

54:59.824 --> 55:05.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Health him back had him do some of those jobs is a little bit of self protection in case he does leave.

55:05.948 --> 55:08.469
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't feel like the company is totally confident.

55:08.489 --> 55:09.730
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got their moving.

55:09.750 --> 55:11.371
[SPEAKER_02]: They're moving their plans.

55:11.671 --> 55:13.732
[SPEAKER_01]: They're moving gave up the ladder a little bit.

55:13.752 --> 55:14.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Which might be the story.

55:14.833 --> 55:20.196
[SPEAKER_01]: There's been a lot of things like it's is it's been like going to turn on Gabe and kick him out all this because I don't know.

55:22.751 --> 55:33.615
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not pretending I have insight information on that, but it feels like they are protecting themselves from putting too much into Finlay in case there's no Finlay to be there.

55:34.155 --> 55:39.097
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're kicking the wheel control ability, because I think that they're worried that both game and Finlay are out of here.

55:39.868 --> 55:45.169
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, I think that's something that they do need to worry about with Gabe in some way unless they've had backs.

55:45.549 --> 55:54.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Unless they've had talks that we don't hear back in, you know, a non-K-fab talk with Gabe, or he's assured to me, he's staying because that's a thought as well.

55:54.251 --> 56:09.274
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we'll see if this whole thing that he did at AEW is that a forbidden door story to get him back into the New Japan side of things, or are they actually, like you said, taking him for a bit of a test drive, thinking, well, maybe you want to come over here and make some money.

56:09.852 --> 56:19.120
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything about it feels like they're wanting to use the cloud of David Finley to tell a story while they still have him.

56:19.680 --> 56:23.203
[SPEAKER_02]: But then I think going to wrestle Kingdom, I don't see him.

56:24.207 --> 56:26.629
[SPEAKER_02]: unlike the top two or three matches on the card.

56:26.889 --> 56:27.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

56:27.509 --> 56:28.089
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

56:28.129 --> 56:29.010
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we're on it.

56:29.050 --> 56:37.215
[SPEAKER_02]: We're graduating to like a different phase and he might be gone in February.

56:37.235 --> 56:41.098
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll champion global champion Tanahashi Junior champion.

56:41.298 --> 56:43.719
[SPEAKER_01]: Are probably going to be the top of that card.

56:43.759 --> 56:45.620
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think family really factors into those.

56:45.660 --> 56:45.820
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

56:49.237 --> 57:05.360
[SPEAKER_02]: maybe there's a bullet club, she's like gives a match that they do that like is born out of it all this, but I think thinly, how you in here is having great matches, vicious violent strong matches, like strong style matches throughout here.

57:05.580 --> 57:15.222
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you know, at some point in the post block play, he's eliminated and we get to like setting the stage for what we're getting at rest of kingdom.

57:15.262 --> 57:15.582
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think

57:16.622 --> 57:18.284
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's exactly what's going to happen.

57:19.024 --> 57:20.686
[SPEAKER_02]: I got him losing to Newman.

57:21.066 --> 57:23.448
[SPEAKER_02]: I got him losing to OUA and I got him losing to Bolt.

57:25.330 --> 57:26.511
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's kind of like, yeah.

57:27.192 --> 57:41.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the reason I had OEMora over him is I can see OEMora not necessarily winning the G-One, but at Wrestle Kingdom, that King of Pro Wrestling being in a spot where he can kind of take that Tomahashi mantle a little bit as the pure baby face guy and they need to get him ready.

57:41.836 --> 57:43.296
[SPEAKER_01]: So, that's just my thoughts on that.

57:43.336 --> 57:44.856
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see how it turns out.

57:45.196 --> 57:49.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm talking about that.

57:49.377 --> 57:55.579
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, the thing is Tomahashi is one of those guys where he can make a match work where

57:57.082 --> 58:05.049
[SPEAKER_01]: he used his ring smarts and got by and just got that inside cradle tight in and got the pin the flash pin on him.

58:05.129 --> 58:10.994
[SPEAKER_01]: He could do that and that's trying to actually can beat anybody in almost the exact opposite way that house a torture can beat anybody.

58:11.014 --> 58:17.460
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, trying to actually can just kind of out with or out you know, just the outside cradle somebody and get a flash pin.

58:17.500 --> 58:18.781
[SPEAKER_01]: That could definitely happen to anyone.

58:18.841 --> 58:21.804
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they want to take points away from somebody, he's a good guy to do it.

58:23.325 --> 58:23.766
[SPEAKER_02]: If I

58:24.880 --> 58:26.101
[SPEAKER_02]: I might actually switch that.

58:26.621 --> 58:31.244
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm going to have Tana Kashi beat Finley instead of Bolton.

58:31.785 --> 58:33.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we're talking them out of his own bracket folks.

58:33.746 --> 58:36.128
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it doesn't change anything at the top.

58:36.648 --> 58:43.953
[SPEAKER_02]: Finley still would win in the top three, but Finley doesn't need to be challenging for the never title or anything like that.

58:44.833 --> 58:48.396
[SPEAKER_02]: And just him beating in a moving or he could beat Bolton.

58:49.216 --> 58:52.959
[SPEAKER_02]: And we have to talk to Hashi and challenge for the never open way to if they just wanted to put him in the title.

58:53.425 --> 58:54.787
[SPEAKER_01]: Shark flaming sharks here.

58:54.867 --> 58:56.689
[SPEAKER_01]: Last second G one at its glory sentence.

58:56.709 --> 58:58.511
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be right on right?

58:58.531 --> 59:00.794
[SPEAKER_02]: You're talking it through like something makes sense.

59:00.854 --> 59:03.598
[SPEAKER_02]: Something don't but Tata Hashie beating him.

59:03.638 --> 59:06.601
[SPEAKER_02]: He won't have time to put up to me pretty great.

59:09.104 --> 59:10.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that everybody in the end?

59:10.225 --> 59:12.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Did we talk about it by then?

59:12.807 --> 59:13.248
[SPEAKER_00]: No, evil.

59:13.288 --> 59:13.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

59:13.588 --> 59:17.010
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we've been talking about more and more and more.

59:17.030 --> 59:19.733
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got the HOT guys.

59:20.253 --> 59:20.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, evil.

59:21.274 --> 59:22.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to be involved all the way to the end.

59:23.315 --> 59:29.280
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he's going to make post block play because that threat of House of Georgia ruining everything is always right there.

59:30.021 --> 59:33.904
[SPEAKER_01]: And that match against Tana Hashie on the last night could very well set up

59:34.823 --> 59:39.865
[SPEAKER_01]: that one more thing between these two, and they seem to be circling in and out of each other's orbits.

59:39.925 --> 59:51.609
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember, when Tana has she took the presidency, House of Tortures, one of the first things on his mind, reading the place of House of Tortures, well, House of Tortures only become more influential since then.

59:52.049 --> 59:55.790
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a bigger clash coming between these two than the G-One Climax tournament.

59:55.910 --> 01:00:02.532
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this match at the end of this block will put heat on it and whether it's King of Pro Wrestling, whether it's

01:00:04.513 --> 01:00:05.774
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's the retirement.

01:00:05.814 --> 01:00:06.374
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't match.

01:00:06.394 --> 01:00:08.935
[SPEAKER_01]: It may be, but I feel like they've done that at the dome, right?

01:00:08.995 --> 01:00:17.179
[SPEAKER_01]: So King of Pro Wrestling, Power Stroke, there has to be one more thing before Tomahashi can vanquish him and then have his dream retirement match.

01:00:17.659 --> 01:00:25.823
[SPEAKER_01]: So my prediction evil doesn't win the G one, but he is the dark potential, dark cloud over it.

01:00:26.343 --> 01:00:30.445
[SPEAKER_01]: And he advances out of Black play at the very least victimizing Tomahashi on the way.

01:00:30.465 --> 01:00:31.406
[SPEAKER_01]: It's my prediction here.

01:00:33.478 --> 01:00:39.661
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he will get to be very important after the G-One.

01:00:41.382 --> 01:00:48.365
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not rule out that he'll be the champion before recclaking them, but he won't win the G-One.

01:00:49.426 --> 01:00:55.329
[SPEAKER_02]: And we'll get to that at some point, but E-One Tana Hashi, they could run it back one more time.

01:00:56.730 --> 01:01:00.972
[SPEAKER_01]: But actually, the power struggle is a fitting name for the last clash between the two.

01:01:02.821 --> 01:01:10.825
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot here that I've been thinking about and we're going to have to talk about that Saber Jr when we get to that Saber Jr.

01:01:10.925 --> 01:01:22.772
[SPEAKER_02]: But there are some things here that have me very concerned about the baby face and heel dynamics of what they want at Wrestle Kingdom and who exactly would fit that right here.

01:01:24.071 --> 01:01:31.799
[SPEAKER_01]: Brad says the final match has to have a ton of house torture BS, and then we get the mighty hauntie run into battle off house torture before ton of finally baggage.

01:01:32.019 --> 01:01:33.821
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they have to do with interest in you, right?

01:01:35.042 --> 01:01:36.504
[SPEAKER_01]: All the house torture guys out there.

01:01:37.064 --> 01:01:39.527
[SPEAKER_01]: All the hauntie guys, there's that rental kingdom.

01:01:41.601 --> 01:01:43.683
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be I think there's a way to do it better than that.

01:01:44.384 --> 01:01:51.270
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I don't think that was the whole kit and caboodle that Russell came to my think that I think they did that all that knowing that there was more coming this year.

01:01:51.490 --> 01:01:54.653
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this could have been about Tana Hoshy getting one over on evil.

01:01:54.693 --> 01:01:57.355
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is about evil getting built up to be the bad.

01:01:58.660 --> 01:02:00.021
[SPEAKER_02]: He's gonna be the big bad of this season.

01:02:00.061 --> 01:02:01.662
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the big bad for the next six bucks.

01:02:02.543 --> 01:02:04.144
[SPEAKER_01]: Boy, what do we have here?

01:02:04.204 --> 01:02:11.690
[SPEAKER_02]: I just like, I'm looking at those ticket sales and I'm thinking about like the idea of not to do from last year.

01:02:11.710 --> 01:02:16.154
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's just like, yeah, my fingers are real.

01:02:17.115 --> 01:02:19.356
[SPEAKER_01]: My fingers are real crossed on tickets for this turn.

01:02:19.977 --> 01:02:20.397
[SPEAKER_02]: I hear you.

01:02:20.998 --> 01:02:21.598
[SPEAKER_01]: I got the wheelies.

01:02:21.758 --> 01:02:22.699
[SPEAKER_01]: I got the wheelies about them.

01:02:23.339 --> 01:02:24.300
[SPEAKER_02]: Got the wheelies.

01:02:25.161 --> 01:02:26.222
[SPEAKER_02]: Evil is a guy that

01:02:27.602 --> 01:02:31.783
[SPEAKER_02]: I think if we get past October and evil is in the world champion, I think we're okay.

01:02:34.444 --> 01:02:53.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you know, it's funny to like the perspective of things like we just did that rewatchable on rewatchables is trademark not a rewatchable go back and watch watch back of sorry Bill Simmons, but a watch back on that wrestle thing between with Ocada and Kenny on the main event and it struck me that that

01:02:54.714 --> 01:03:04.017
[SPEAKER_01]: show had an attendance of about twenty-six thousand only two thousand more than last year's wrestle kingdom which was considered a bit of a disaster.

01:03:05.038 --> 01:03:05.598
[SPEAKER_01]: attendance wise.

01:03:05.878 --> 01:03:14.840
[SPEAKER_01]: My people were not impressed with the attendance for, and certainly the thirteen or fourteen thousand that actually showed up on day two was was very weak show.

01:03:14.900 --> 01:03:16.461
[SPEAKER_01]: That was our weak, a weak gate.

01:03:16.941 --> 01:03:21.502
[SPEAKER_01]: But the idea that, I mean, if they say twenty four thousand, how many were there?

01:03:21.582 --> 01:03:22.002
[SPEAKER_01]: Twenty two.

01:03:22.722 --> 01:03:25.182
[SPEAKER_01]: And if they said twenty four back then, how many were there?

01:03:25.202 --> 01:03:26.083
[SPEAKER_01]: Twenty two.

01:03:26.343 --> 01:03:26.663
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, so.

01:03:29.013 --> 01:03:35.435
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a matter of Ocata and Omega, only drew a little bit more than Zach versus Shota.

01:03:36.155 --> 01:03:36.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting, I thought.

01:03:37.056 --> 01:03:39.697
[SPEAKER_01]: It just shows you how different things can be from year to year.

01:03:41.597 --> 01:03:44.358
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not just one match when the whole business is seen as hot and things.

01:03:44.778 --> 01:03:48.239
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, yeah, anyway, there's one more guy in the A-Block Jeremy.

01:03:48.459 --> 01:03:50.080
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we need much time on it.

01:03:50.740 --> 01:03:53.021
[SPEAKER_01]: We've mentioned before, the fashion icon himself, Sanada.

01:03:53.061 --> 01:03:55.302
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a man whose body has betrayed him, frankly.

01:03:56.763 --> 01:04:01.025
[SPEAKER_01]: He probably put everything into being the champion at the expense of his arm.

01:04:01.746 --> 01:04:03.987
[SPEAKER_01]: And now he's suffering the consequences.

01:04:04.027 --> 01:04:05.167
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not what he was in the ring.

01:04:05.407 --> 01:04:07.288
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not trying to be what he was in the ring.

01:04:07.629 --> 01:04:10.450
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't seem to be trying to do much of anything except wear clown shoes.

01:04:11.130 --> 01:04:12.391
[SPEAKER_01]: And he looks silly.

01:04:12.411 --> 01:04:14.692
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to take him seriously as a wrestler now.

01:04:15.052 --> 01:04:23.417
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have a feeling that he's going to get some cheap house torture wins, but this is not a tournament for us and not.

01:04:24.477 --> 01:04:27.438
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mentioned earlier, he's at the bottom end of the thing.

01:04:27.458 --> 01:04:29.018
[SPEAKER_02]: You can get four points to me.

01:04:29.118 --> 01:04:30.738
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't.

01:04:31.138 --> 01:04:32.998
[SPEAKER_02]: He, you've already got evil in the bracket.

01:04:33.098 --> 01:04:47.281
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we've already got to house a torture guy like he's going to be in service to that rather than anything else and potentially cost, you know, a match for a guy that could potentially threaten evil, that kind of thing.

01:04:47.421 --> 01:04:53.422
[SPEAKER_02]: So I got him, you know, beating your mirror and just trying to get in one over on Newman and calling it a day.

01:04:54.022 --> 01:04:54.783
[SPEAKER_02]: The other one.

01:04:55.503 --> 01:04:56.725
[SPEAKER_01]: Flaming Shark has the right.

01:04:56.845 --> 01:04:58.566
[SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of the usual roll now.

01:04:58.606 --> 01:05:01.489
[SPEAKER_01]: The usual talk of how she roll now is that's probably true.

01:05:02.049 --> 01:05:02.810
[SPEAKER_01]: And a breadman.

01:05:02.830 --> 01:05:05.612
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wonder if NJPW would do a gauntlet for Thomas final match.

01:05:05.652 --> 01:05:10.516
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Joe she's loved to do that for graduation and retirement matches, which I don't want to take a page out of that book.

01:05:10.977 --> 01:05:11.677
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be interesting.

01:05:11.958 --> 01:05:12.878
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.

01:05:12.918 --> 01:05:14.560
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to go into

01:05:16.441 --> 01:05:18.682
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not aware men's wrestling doing that a whole lot.

01:05:19.022 --> 01:05:23.423
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't even think of one really for retirement, but they're probably is one, but I can't think of it.

01:05:23.463 --> 01:05:28.725
[SPEAKER_02]: I think KG Muto had one match then he had another retirement match for me to be afterwards.

01:05:28.965 --> 01:05:33.006
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, and he's he's going to have another one.

01:05:33.066 --> 01:05:37.087
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll have another one someday, by the way, that's going to happen too.

01:05:37.227 --> 01:05:40.488
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll leave my hat if he's the last if he said his last match, but

01:05:41.970 --> 01:05:49.480
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I think Tonahashi's last match will be a bit more epic and probably involve a big name.

01:05:52.460 --> 01:05:53.281
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got to be a big name.

01:05:53.341 --> 01:05:54.762
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got to close wrestling kingdom.

01:05:54.942 --> 01:06:02.107
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't in any, I can't, you announce the thing, thirteen months of the event that you're hiring at this show.

01:06:03.168 --> 01:06:09.552
[SPEAKER_02]: And you are doing a match on every show, like leading up to his final retirement match.

01:06:09.852 --> 01:06:12.574
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're telling me this thing is just going to be in the middle of the card.

01:06:13.535 --> 01:06:20.420
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially because there doesn't feel like an obvious, everybody wants that world title match sitting there.

01:06:21.072 --> 01:06:21.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

01:06:21.812 --> 01:06:28.096
[SPEAKER_01]: And if there were one of those, and we've had them before, where it's like God dang it, I want to see Nighto and Ocata.

01:06:28.416 --> 01:06:32.859
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see, you know, you know what I'm talking about when you just when you want to see.

01:06:32.879 --> 01:06:37.322
[SPEAKER_02]: I get crowned right before the moment that, you know, everyone is supposedly therefore.

01:06:37.662 --> 01:06:47.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially because there isn't one of those matches, which is bigger than the promotion type of, you know, the history, these guys meeting each other at exactly, there isn't really one of those.

01:06:47.789 --> 01:06:51.332
[SPEAKER_01]: This year is about getting people ready to be in those matches.

01:06:51.472 --> 01:06:52.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And right now, it's not there.

01:06:52.773 --> 01:06:57.356
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand, yeah, this is one situation where the world title might be secondary.

01:06:57.516 --> 01:07:03.660
[SPEAKER_01]: There isn't one of these, for instance, right here, by the way, that's O'Gawa and Hashimoto, which was bigger than wrestling when it was happening back.

01:07:03.680 --> 01:07:06.822
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just, I'm matched rear just like I'm just aching to see this.

01:07:07.202 --> 01:07:11.045
[SPEAKER_01]: There isn't one of those right now in New Japan, which means the time of Hashimoto might take on more importance.

01:07:13.746 --> 01:07:21.330
[SPEAKER_02]: The three guys that could pump ticket sales for Tana Hashimatch in my mind that could be in consideration.

01:07:22.290 --> 01:07:24.571
[SPEAKER_02]: The like who would be, you mentioned one, Nino.

01:07:25.251 --> 01:07:27.612
[SPEAKER_02]: Nino could be a guy that they do that retirement match.

01:07:30.434 --> 01:07:32.575
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got Nakamura.

01:07:33.255 --> 01:07:37.037
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know what I mean, you're not going anywhere.

01:07:37.057 --> 01:07:37.917
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't have any like,

01:07:38.642 --> 01:07:41.483
[SPEAKER_02]: contract ended, he didn't get cut or anything like that.

01:07:42.263 --> 01:07:43.423
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you make an arrangement?

01:07:43.903 --> 01:07:44.923
[SPEAKER_02]: Twenty percent chance.

01:07:46.084 --> 01:07:46.244
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:07:46.264 --> 01:07:55.086
[SPEAKER_01]: Unless chance and there used to be just because the new Japan has that relationship with AEW and WWE doesn't really like to do anything to help anybody in those in those situations.

01:07:55.466 --> 01:07:57.566
[SPEAKER_01]: No, see they don't see no as a thing.

01:07:57.646 --> 01:07:59.207
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like Noah's a cute little thing.

01:07:59.367 --> 01:07:59.747
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

01:07:59.947 --> 01:08:02.607
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll send Nakamura over to Noah once a year, but what's Noah?

01:08:02.727 --> 01:08:04.008
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a WWE.

01:08:04.188 --> 01:08:04.528
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, but

01:08:05.548 --> 01:08:07.770
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, to lend them out for rest.

01:08:07.970 --> 01:08:15.777
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe, I mean, if Shen goes to him and says, I would really, really like to do this boss, maybe that's more possible than when Vince was in charge.

01:08:16.238 --> 01:08:17.839
[SPEAKER_01]: It's more possible than when Vince was in charge.

01:08:17.879 --> 01:08:19.460
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not holding my breath on that.

01:08:19.981 --> 01:08:23.364
[SPEAKER_02]: There went for five percent to twenty percent between Vip's to dig.

01:08:23.404 --> 01:08:24.865
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, it's still not like that.

01:08:24.885 --> 01:08:29.009
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't worry about the one that I've kind of come down to.

01:08:30.890 --> 01:08:31.531
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Hocata.

01:08:32.011 --> 01:08:32.212
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:08:33.423 --> 01:08:44.211
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Ocotta retiring him at the dome is getting a lot of interest from people in Japan, you know, it would be Ocotta's first match in Japan in two years or so.

01:08:45.713 --> 01:08:48.495
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that the play would be.

01:08:49.436 --> 01:08:53.081
[SPEAKER_02]: Tonahashi gets his match with Shibada at forbidden door.

01:08:53.802 --> 01:08:57.207
[SPEAKER_02]: He wins that match for some way she broke his throat.

01:08:57.247 --> 01:09:04.779
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, if you beat Shibada there, and then Ocada comes out at the after the match, and he challenges him for the Tokyo bill.

01:09:05.982 --> 01:09:07.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much.

01:09:07.704 --> 01:09:11.667
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and the G one got to the way and O'Conan, Tonahashi is announced.

01:09:12.088 --> 01:09:14.530
[SPEAKER_02]: All of a sudden, take it turn out to you have your two magic.

01:09:14.870 --> 01:09:22.898
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you got the winner of the G one challenging presumably that paper junior and you've got, you know, like a tonahashi O'Conan match to cloak up the show.

01:09:24.003 --> 01:09:38.359
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... for me charges can you hear shinsuke if they can pull it off somehow the two names keep jumping back to me can he's not a bad point uh... any and then charges i don't really see a passing of the torch match with the younger guy in the final match for whatever reason now i think they're going to want to i i agree with you shark i don't think it's going to be

01:09:39.448 --> 01:09:47.997
[SPEAKER_01]: Tana losing to an oil, more of shaking his hands saying, here you go, take it, I think it's going to be some sort of dream match in the air quotes right there.

01:09:48.257 --> 01:09:49.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Shark and C. O. Cotta as well.

01:09:50.399 --> 01:09:51.840
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam says she likes that plan, Jeremy.

01:09:51.860 --> 01:09:54.043
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely think Shabbada is the forbidden door match.

01:09:54.303 --> 01:09:55.144
[SPEAKER_01]: So one of them makes sense.

01:09:55.544 --> 01:09:57.806
[SPEAKER_01]: They did the exhibition at Russell Dynasty.

01:09:58.787 --> 01:10:10.958
[SPEAKER_01]: When I was there, and that was a bit of a hell freezes over thing with Shabbata coming back into a new Japan ring, but they were careful about it not being a real match, you know, it's exhibition just to kind of hold to that.

01:10:11.319 --> 01:10:19.526
[SPEAKER_01]: And keep in mind that when people put the Kabash on Shabbata, town of Hashi wasn't as in charge as he is now, certainly an influential guy wasn't the president back then.

01:10:21.107 --> 01:10:23.208
[SPEAKER_01]: But that does feel more for Bindorish.

01:10:23.428 --> 01:10:25.269
[SPEAKER_01]: Certainly does feel more for Bindorish.

01:10:25.389 --> 01:10:28.810
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and for this last one should be a new Japan thing.

01:10:29.430 --> 01:10:35.052
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Nakamura, O'Kata, even Kenny, it should just be a new Japan centric thing.

01:10:35.112 --> 01:10:36.753
[SPEAKER_01]: If you close, it should close the era.

01:10:37.744 --> 01:10:39.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's that's a good that's a good way of putting it.

01:10:40.206 --> 01:10:42.448
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love for it to be not a more a good grief.

01:10:42.488 --> 01:10:42.928
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love it.

01:10:42.968 --> 01:10:48.673
[SPEAKER_02]: I just can't just hoping it happened, but I'm okay.

01:10:49.374 --> 01:10:59.703
[SPEAKER_02]: Then I just think the the on beyond to pay to enter in first is like a ton of hoshy enter could just it would carry the match even though it probably wouldn't be the best.

01:11:00.910 --> 01:11:02.771
[SPEAKER_01]: And Brad brings up this point, which is a good one.

01:11:02.811 --> 01:11:04.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Japanese do retirements differently.

01:11:04.353 --> 01:11:05.574
[SPEAKER_01]: They usually go out on top.

01:11:05.614 --> 01:11:07.255
[SPEAKER_01]: So I couldn't see the passing of the torch match.

01:11:07.275 --> 01:11:08.155
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what she wants for.

01:11:08.636 --> 01:11:19.604
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you look back by the way, the whole idea of losing on the way out, whether you're leaving a company or you're retiring, go back and look in North America.

01:11:19.624 --> 01:11:22.166
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's a lot more people talking about that than doing it.

01:11:23.273 --> 01:11:38.873
[SPEAKER_01]: a lot more talk that's a lot that that's a cliche that promoters love to say it because then they can get a guy to do what they want or put pressure on the guy to promoters love to say that time on our traditions and all that kind of stuff if you go back and look at people who have left territories or retired

01:11:39.594 --> 01:11:43.437
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not as much of that final loss as you with the Austin did.

01:11:43.517 --> 01:11:44.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Steve Austin did to the rock.

01:11:44.678 --> 01:11:45.619
[SPEAKER_01]: That was fair.

01:11:45.899 --> 01:11:46.239
[SPEAKER_01]: He did.

01:11:47.320 --> 01:11:50.102
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he didn't come back for a very long time to the point that I counted.

01:11:50.122 --> 01:11:51.643
[SPEAKER_01]: But watch out.

01:11:51.683 --> 01:11:54.525
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at how many people actually went out on their back.

01:11:55.166 --> 01:11:59.849
[SPEAKER_01]: And you'll see in the post territory era is not that long of a list.

01:12:00.370 --> 01:12:01.811
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not that long of a list, just saying.

01:12:02.602 --> 01:12:05.186
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm kind of cackling because I'm looking at all these comments, right?

01:12:05.266 --> 01:12:06.827
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not responding.

01:12:07.328 --> 01:12:08.509
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's talking about NIDO.

01:12:09.290 --> 01:12:10.212
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody said NIDO.

01:12:10.292 --> 01:12:12.014
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to a little later.

01:12:12.094 --> 01:12:13.155
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to a little later.

01:12:13.796 --> 01:12:14.877
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to a little later.

01:12:14.997 --> 01:12:16.018
[SPEAKER_02]: I got a fantasy book.

01:12:16.059 --> 01:12:17.180
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't you worry about a thing.

01:12:17.200 --> 01:12:17.520
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait.

01:12:22.993 --> 01:12:23.914
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's see what else here.

01:12:24.554 --> 01:12:27.976
[SPEAKER_01]: Clark says Nakamura is the best case, Kenny or Academy suitable.

01:12:28.777 --> 01:12:33.740
[SPEAKER_01]: And then shark mentions, I can't think of anyone else's big enough star in Japan to be worthy of it and will create appropriate buzz.

01:12:34.581 --> 01:12:45.988
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got to be someone who can move the needle as far as take it say they're under I think a good bit of pressure after the perception of last year's Russell kingdom that they need to top that and you're going to have to do that with more than one or two matches.

01:12:46.948 --> 01:12:47.489
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this.

01:12:47.569 --> 01:12:47.789
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:12:48.610 --> 01:12:50.652
[SPEAKER_02]: The card have the potential to be loaded.

01:12:50.672 --> 01:12:51.232
[SPEAKER_02]: We're looking.

01:12:51.312 --> 01:12:53.815
[SPEAKER_02]: I know this is a G one like show, but.

01:12:55.333 --> 01:12:57.134
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's going to be a very new Japan.

01:12:57.294 --> 01:13:07.698
[SPEAKER_02]: If not going to have a whole lot of AWS feel like, you know, to cash it up, maybe Kenny, but like, there's a lot of people in New Japan that they got a feature on the show.

01:13:07.998 --> 01:13:14.040
[SPEAKER_01]: And we, and we don't know if they're going to do something like dynasty again, where they can feature more people from other companies and have that be the guest or show.

01:13:14.080 --> 01:13:14.200
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:19.222
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, last year didn't didn't draw very well, they might not do it again, but we don't get an idea to run that back.

01:13:19.602 --> 01:13:21.646
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't usually find out until the G one.

01:13:21.906 --> 01:13:23.589
[SPEAKER_01]: G one's usually when they announce that stuff.

01:13:23.609 --> 01:13:26.615
[SPEAKER_01]: So all right, well, let's go on to be block here.

01:13:26.655 --> 01:13:29.179
[SPEAKER_01]: We're now in fifteen and we still only halfway through.

01:13:30.015 --> 01:13:30.555
[SPEAKER_01]: That's okay.

01:13:30.596 --> 01:13:31.516
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk about it.

01:13:31.716 --> 01:13:34.299
[SPEAKER_01]: And we knew I blocked out the time.

01:13:34.799 --> 01:13:35.960
[SPEAKER_01]: We're a little cautious since again.

01:13:35.980 --> 01:13:37.041
[SPEAKER_01]: So I tell you, all right.

01:13:37.081 --> 01:13:41.504
[SPEAKER_01]: So here are the members of the B block group here.

01:13:41.544 --> 01:13:51.413
[SPEAKER_01]: We have Shota Umino, Elfantazmo, Yoshi Hashie, Shingo Takagi, Zack Saber, Junior Hour World Heavyweight Champion, Great Ocon,

01:13:52.173 --> 01:13:53.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Gabe Kid.

01:13:54.474 --> 01:13:56.015
[SPEAKER_01]: He is the global heavyweight champion.

01:13:56.075 --> 01:13:57.996
[SPEAKER_01]: El Fantasma still the television champion.

01:13:58.016 --> 01:14:03.199
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, drill on Maloney and Renderita with Kanoce to Kesta.

01:14:04.460 --> 01:14:08.122
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's take a look at these one by one.

01:14:08.222 --> 01:14:09.542
[SPEAKER_01]: Who are we going to start with?

01:14:12.784 --> 01:14:14.125
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be show to Umano now.

01:14:16.424 --> 01:14:21.246
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm surprised to be saying this because this man may have entered Russell kingdom last year against Zach Saber Jr.

01:14:21.286 --> 01:14:24.088
[SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like this isn't his year.

01:14:24.348 --> 01:14:27.729
[SPEAKER_01]: It's almost feels like they won't do it.

01:14:27.970 --> 01:14:34.393
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's going to win only one or two matches Jeremy unless they tell some greater story that he's bottoming out or whatever again.

01:14:34.473 --> 01:14:36.534
[SPEAKER_01]: But God, they've told that about a hundred times.

01:14:37.654 --> 01:14:38.815
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't feel like his year.

01:14:39.575 --> 01:14:40.616
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a crowded field.

01:14:40.636 --> 01:14:42.496
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of good wrestlers in this block too.

01:14:45.107 --> 01:14:48.768
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like whatever they have in mind for Shota, it's not here.

01:14:49.208 --> 01:14:50.929
[SPEAKER_01]: It's coming, it's just not here.

01:14:51.509 --> 01:15:03.333
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's going to be middle of the pack, maybe in the mix, but his B-block final match is against Drillamology, and that just doesn't feel like one that factors into a whole lot.

01:15:03.713 --> 01:15:11.836
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is going to be one of those years where Shota sits it out, and maybe twenty, twenty, six, he has, by the time he gets a king to me, and maybe perhaps.

01:15:13.900 --> 01:15:18.283
[SPEAKER_01]: We have something else going for him, but this doesn't feel like a big run for him.

01:15:18.883 --> 01:15:20.424
[SPEAKER_01]: To me, there are other stories to tell.

01:15:20.444 --> 01:15:22.225
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't agree.

01:15:23.466 --> 01:15:23.746
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

01:15:24.086 --> 01:15:24.326
[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead.

01:15:24.366 --> 01:15:28.168
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually have him who wanted the three making it to the post-block play.

01:15:29.569 --> 01:15:30.369
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow, really.

01:15:30.810 --> 01:15:31.230
[SPEAKER_01]: I do.

01:15:31.670 --> 01:15:33.551
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I think I know who two of your others are.

01:15:33.611 --> 01:15:36.473
[SPEAKER_01]: That means there's a couple of people being left out that I'm really surprised at.

01:15:37.874 --> 01:15:44.298
[SPEAKER_02]: uh I looked at it and I thought about it and I thought about it and they surprised us with great O'Con last year.

01:15:44.318 --> 01:15:45.158
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:45.178 --> 01:15:45.818
[SPEAKER_01]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:45.839 --> 01:15:46.539
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:46.559 --> 01:15:47.399
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:47.419 --> 01:15:48.200
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:48.220 --> 01:15:49.221
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:49.241 --> 01:15:49.881
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:49.921 --> 01:15:50.762
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:50.782 --> 01:15:51.462
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:51.482 --> 01:15:52.202
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:52.242 --> 01:15:53.283
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:53.363 --> 01:15:54.344
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:54.384 --> 01:15:55.064
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:55.084 --> 01:15:55.885
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:55.905 --> 01:15:56.525
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:56.545 --> 01:15:57.926
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:57.946 --> 01:15:59.507
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:15:59.567 --> 01:16:00.548
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:16:00.588 --> 01:16:01.448
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:16:01.468 --> 01:16:02.389
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:16:02.409 --> 01:16:03.429
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year.

01:16:03.449 --> 01:16:04.270
[SPEAKER_02]: They did great O'Con last year

01:16:04.674 --> 01:16:11.601
[SPEAKER_01]: That's interesting because his last match is, again, his last block match is against O'Con and O'Con, absolutely humiliated him earlier this year.

01:16:11.641 --> 01:16:12.101
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yes.

01:16:12.382 --> 01:16:16.145
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I think there's a little bit of rehabilitation going on with him here.

01:16:16.385 --> 01:16:20.830
[SPEAKER_01]: And I misspoke by the way, I'm looking at a Shota and Shingo looking a lot of the same after the corner match.

01:16:20.910 --> 01:16:22.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Shingo versus Maloney on the last night.

01:16:23.212 --> 01:16:24.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, never mind that.

01:16:24.053 --> 01:16:24.994
[SPEAKER_01]: So I apologize.

01:16:25.074 --> 01:16:29.137
[SPEAKER_01]: I, as H, as H, as H. So Shota and O'Con on the last night.

01:16:29.257 --> 01:16:42.588
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the one that I thought, yeah, maybe has some steam on it because of that past history, but not one for the playoffs, just my opinion, but you're making the case that it absolutely could be like I the him at the guy to rehabilitate.

01:16:43.168 --> 01:16:49.694
[SPEAKER_02]: If you have Suji going in there, I don't necessarily think that you need Shingo in the post block play.

01:16:51.355 --> 01:16:53.036
[SPEAKER_02]: going forward like eight.

01:16:53.536 --> 01:16:56.137
[SPEAKER_02]: They're five got that you can argue.

01:16:57.398 --> 01:16:58.939
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like there's one no doubt.

01:16:59.399 --> 01:17:01.140
[SPEAKER_02]: There's one no doubt, but four.

01:17:01.380 --> 01:17:01.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:17:02.020 --> 01:17:12.305
[SPEAKER_02]: But there are four others that, you know, like, coulder could bought and the one that came down to were, you know, she goes one of them and the one going to make it in there and

01:17:14.077 --> 01:17:18.059
[SPEAKER_02]: It really was between him and Shota of being the third guy.

01:17:18.320 --> 01:17:23.183
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's say we both think the world heavyweight champion is at least going to make post block play, right?

01:17:23.463 --> 01:17:23.683
[UNKNOWN]: Yes.

01:17:24.403 --> 01:17:25.184
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, this act.

01:17:25.224 --> 01:17:26.164
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have sex.

01:17:26.184 --> 01:17:29.747
[SPEAKER_01]: So there are really four or five guys fighting over those final two spots.

01:17:30.227 --> 01:17:30.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:17:30.627 --> 01:17:34.850
[SPEAKER_02]: So I got Umano and then between that to cash it a kid in Shingo.

01:17:35.210 --> 01:17:35.690
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:17:38.464 --> 01:17:44.104
[SPEAKER_02]: You can argue any one of them, you know, like you really can.

01:17:44.867 --> 01:17:52.391
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think there's a lot of value in rehabilitating Umano and having great and having good matches and just kind of trying to reconnect.

01:17:52.411 --> 01:18:02.097
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the, this is the time when most people are watching and this is your opportunity to, you know, make him, again, one of the top guys in Hauntai.

01:18:02.457 --> 01:18:05.199
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Tai Chi strong in the other side.

01:18:05.739 --> 01:18:13.644
[SPEAKER_02]: If you have Tai Chi, you don't need Ui Mura necessarily like being strong in Hauntai as well, but maybe the Hauntai guy come from the B block.

01:18:14.384 --> 01:18:21.186
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's kind of where I was leaning on that because you've got two unafiliated guys going on the post-bought play potentially.

01:18:21.747 --> 01:18:34.171
[SPEAKER_02]: If you have it otherwise, you know, like, if you have shingo or you have to catch enough, you know, like that kind of affiliated guy and you have a ward off, you have house of torture and TMDK is all going to be in there.

01:18:34.731 --> 01:18:39.653
[SPEAKER_02]: He just feels like the hauntie representative that just kind of fit.

01:18:40.513 --> 01:18:41.054
[SPEAKER_02]: to get in there.

01:18:41.155 --> 01:18:50.172
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think you're going very far in post block play, but it would be a feather in its cap to, you know, have the cloud of, yeah, you have one of those guys that went really, really, really far.

01:18:50.947 --> 01:18:51.367
[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.

01:18:51.767 --> 01:18:52.888
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an interesting thought.

01:18:52.908 --> 01:18:54.028
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be keeping an eye out for that.

01:18:54.048 --> 01:18:55.329
[SPEAKER_01]: And you may prove me wrong right there.

01:18:55.369 --> 01:18:59.891
[SPEAKER_01]: I just couldn't squeeze him in where I think things are going a little bit.

01:18:59.931 --> 01:19:00.591
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going a lot.

01:19:00.631 --> 01:19:02.412
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going a lot of talent at the top of the block.

01:19:02.772 --> 01:19:05.793
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you don't like make it in, I get it.

01:19:06.533 --> 01:19:08.634
[SPEAKER_02]: But they've invested a lot in this guy.

01:19:08.734 --> 01:19:15.817
[SPEAKER_02]: And if they're going to shoot like one of these baby faces to the top, I feel like they have to introduce more than one option of the baby face making it a Pokemon.

01:19:16.991 --> 01:19:19.415
[SPEAKER_01]: So Sharks says, Umano has negative momentum right now.

01:19:19.475 --> 01:19:24.963
[SPEAKER_01]: The most he might get at King them is the global title, but he might have a good showing in the tournament fair enough.

01:19:25.283 --> 01:19:26.685
[SPEAKER_01]: And Sam mentions this.

01:19:26.846 --> 01:19:30.151
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam says a show to need something like that to happen in the G one.

01:19:31.032 --> 01:19:33.115
[SPEAKER_01]: He does need to be big G one eventually.

01:19:33.175 --> 01:19:34.976
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just not, I think there, I get what you go back.

01:19:35.176 --> 01:19:39.179
[SPEAKER_01]: There are only so many stories to tell this year and I'm not sure he quite makes the cut.

01:19:39.539 --> 01:19:40.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Crash TV mentions this.

01:19:40.640 --> 01:19:46.684
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, do you think they're considering doing a town of Hashijan moving, put Russell Kingdom on National TV, success of one air and willful debut?

01:19:47.044 --> 01:19:47.524
[SPEAKER_01]: It will be.

01:19:47.945 --> 01:19:53.048
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be the first Russell Kingdom to be on National Television, of that Russell Kingdom era.

01:19:53.448 --> 01:19:56.550
[SPEAKER_01]: January fourth shows used to be on National TV every year, but haven't.

01:19:58.011 --> 01:20:02.273
[SPEAKER_01]: quite a while, I mean, at least as long as it's been entitled, Russell came to mental a little bit before that.

01:20:02.613 --> 01:20:04.614
[SPEAKER_01]: This year, it does have a TV deal.

01:20:04.914 --> 01:20:06.715
[SPEAKER_01]: TV is that he is going to put it on.

01:20:06.775 --> 01:20:11.277
[SPEAKER_01]: So more mainline, more mainlining eyes on the product or try for more pay-per-view buys.

01:20:11.557 --> 01:20:16.459
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like they're going for eyeballs and being on national TV has never heard anybody.

01:20:16.779 --> 01:20:18.040
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's show like this.

01:20:20.461 --> 01:20:26.244
[SPEAKER_01]: NJPW World probably fewer than a hundred thousand subscriptions ish, depending on who you talk to, depending on who you talk to.

01:20:26.284 --> 01:20:29.405
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you can get on, you're not the top of it anymore.

01:20:29.425 --> 01:20:30.245
[SPEAKER_02]: Get to cater to.

01:20:30.785 --> 01:20:31.526
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope, fire way.

01:20:31.566 --> 01:20:32.966
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm glad.

01:20:33.026 --> 01:20:36.288
[SPEAKER_01]: And that would be a good show to your biggest one to have.

01:20:37.088 --> 01:20:39.809
[SPEAKER_01]: Make it feel like a big event, make your company feel like a big deal.

01:20:39.869 --> 01:20:42.010
[SPEAKER_01]: And shark mentions that the G-One can really heat people up.

01:20:42.410 --> 01:20:47.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Last year, OEMORA was heating up, like a heat storm out of nowhere prior to his untimely injury.

01:20:47.132 --> 01:20:47.973
[SPEAKER_01]: It did them a lot of good.

01:20:48.945 --> 01:20:49.926
[SPEAKER_01]: I did them a lot of good.

01:20:50.527 --> 01:20:54.751
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's we'll see how we'll see if perhaps that's the way they go.

01:20:54.771 --> 01:20:55.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Showed it.

01:20:55.092 --> 01:20:58.655
[SPEAKER_01]: You might you now you're making me even doubt my picks even more.

01:20:58.976 --> 01:21:02.600
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, if I can make an argument that good where you're actually like damn it.

01:21:02.880 --> 01:21:04.041
[SPEAKER_02]: You make a lot of good points.

01:21:04.361 --> 01:21:05.783
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I'm happy on something.

01:21:05.943 --> 01:21:07.625
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we'll see how you roll.

01:21:07.905 --> 01:21:10.088
[SPEAKER_02]: But I just I was thinking about it.

01:21:10.168 --> 01:21:11.289
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to have it.

01:21:12.143 --> 01:21:19.065
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's all these guys fighting for two spots because I just don't think there's any way in the world that the world champ misses the playoff.

01:21:19.105 --> 01:21:22.326
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's it's half of that against a lot trickier.

01:21:22.426 --> 01:21:22.627
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

01:21:22.647 --> 01:21:25.287
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's move on to the next thing.

01:21:25.367 --> 01:21:29.909
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, one more thing about show to him, you know, yeah, well, we'll be eating that paper junior in the tournament.

01:21:31.569 --> 01:21:32.910
[SPEAKER_01]: That could probably be a really good idea.

01:21:34.050 --> 01:21:35.211
[SPEAKER_02]: I would probably be a really good idea.

01:21:35.371 --> 01:21:36.351
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I haven't been into that.

01:21:36.371 --> 01:21:36.911
[SPEAKER_02]: Super Junior.

01:21:37.352 --> 01:21:38.412
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been in Gabe, kid.

01:21:38.852 --> 01:21:39.973
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been in Great O'Con.

01:21:40.413 --> 01:21:41.593
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been in Rennerida.

01:21:41.854 --> 01:21:44.355
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been in Yoshi Hashie, and I have been in Drill Maloney.

01:21:45.095 --> 01:21:45.975
[SPEAKER_01]: The Boobards.

01:21:46.936 --> 01:21:52.858
[SPEAKER_01]: The Boobards have faded for, um, no, like not that many people just geer him anymore.

01:21:52.878 --> 01:21:54.419
[SPEAKER_01]: He still has some fan.

01:21:54.459 --> 01:22:00.942
[SPEAKER_01]: It would be a big jolt to his rider die fans for him to get that kind of a win in this term.

01:22:01.262 --> 01:22:02.543
[SPEAKER_01]: And that might be his G-One.

01:22:03.303 --> 01:22:09.669
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have them losing on the first night to ELP to kind of like put them in a position where people like, oh, he's behind the eight ball.

01:22:09.709 --> 01:22:17.136
[SPEAKER_02]: And then losing the Takeshita and Shingo, you know, just kind of the big name that, you know, they need, they need the win for the map.

01:22:17.636 --> 01:22:21.299
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think Umino is, I have not a half not at this tournament.

01:22:22.420 --> 01:22:22.781
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

01:22:23.021 --> 01:22:23.782
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is next now?

01:22:24.702 --> 01:22:25.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we have participants.

01:22:26.084 --> 01:22:26.224
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:22:26.504 --> 01:22:28.125
[SPEAKER_01]: It is self-intest Mart's television champion.

01:22:29.745 --> 01:22:35.229
[SPEAKER_01]: The TV title and the strong open weight titles, which isn't, which isn't in the tournament, it's Tomahiro Ishichi.

01:22:35.969 --> 01:22:40.973
[SPEAKER_01]: TV title and the strong titles not protected in the G-One, that's just not the priority right here.

01:22:41.053 --> 01:22:46.677
[SPEAKER_01]: So Phantasmo is going to have terrific matches, but he's not going to move on.

01:22:46.777 --> 01:22:50.019
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be the guy that puts over a lot.

01:22:50.239 --> 01:22:52.480
[SPEAKER_01]: I just see him scoring some points.

01:22:53.601 --> 01:22:57.844
[SPEAKER_01]: His last matches against Gabe Kid and the B-Block finals.

01:22:59.971 --> 01:23:00.958
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to drop them out.

01:23:00.978 --> 01:23:01.663
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not going to drop them out.

01:23:02.815 --> 01:23:05.576
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is the B-block finds in Shizuoka on August thirteenth.

01:23:05.596 --> 01:23:08.576
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the last night of block by ELP versus Gabe Kid.

01:23:09.197 --> 01:23:14.598
[SPEAKER_01]: Feels like he's in more of a spoiler roll potentially in that one to me.

01:23:14.718 --> 01:23:24.800
[SPEAKER_01]: So I look forward to seeing ELP, but a little bit similar to Callum Newman, a little bit too crowded at the very top for him to really do that kind of thing.

01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:30.481
[SPEAKER_01]: I think his job is just going to be have good matches and put over key people, but it's not going to be two or four.

01:23:30.542 --> 01:23:32.682
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be in the mid back as my predictor.

01:23:33.763 --> 01:23:42.432
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I could see kid moving a match to count out or like due to rage or something like that that kind of cost in the match more that cost him the block than anything else.

01:23:42.992 --> 01:23:46.836
[SPEAKER_02]: I got him just squeezed out of the post block play.

01:23:47.317 --> 01:23:48.418
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got the global title.

01:23:49.198 --> 01:23:52.702
[SPEAKER_02]: and David's family still the top guy in the faction.

01:23:53.063 --> 01:24:03.333
[SPEAKER_02]: So having David's family win the A block means that you don't really need another block club guy in the B block moving forward as popular as Gabe Kid is.

01:24:03.894 --> 01:24:10.061
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that he'll probably have a really great match or forbidden door the week after that'll have everyone forgetting about the fact.

01:24:10.581 --> 01:24:13.644
[SPEAKER_02]: that he didn't make it past to the post-walk play.

01:24:13.784 --> 01:24:18.930
[SPEAKER_02]: And probably have that global title and defend it in some way, shape, or form it, restricting them.

01:24:19.630 --> 01:24:20.711
[SPEAKER_02]: Gamecons can be fine.

01:24:21.152 --> 01:24:25.476
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we've got to talk about El Fantasimo who, you know, click, he's there.

01:24:25.997 --> 01:24:28.059
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's got that TV title.

01:24:28.499 --> 01:24:29.941
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to be a guy

01:24:31.002 --> 01:24:32.183
[SPEAKER_02]: on the block.

01:24:32.863 --> 01:24:38.787
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I unfortunately have them on the bottom five because of the way that, you know, they're so much talent.

01:24:39.187 --> 01:24:43.089
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to be a spoiler to a couple of people, but you just.

01:24:45.551 --> 01:24:47.212
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to have really great matches.

01:24:48.396 --> 01:24:54.320
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's not lighting the world on fire, like other guys on the Rockjoy.

01:24:54.360 --> 01:25:00.245
[SPEAKER_02]: That's Emperor Junior and Gabe Kid seemed to translate to the audience over there a bit more.

01:25:00.365 --> 01:25:02.186
[SPEAKER_02]: So really good babyface.

01:25:02.306 --> 01:25:05.388
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we'll get some TV title matches out of it after the fact.

01:25:05.909 --> 01:25:09.732
[SPEAKER_02]: But do you think you're going to have a TV title for very long after?

01:25:09.752 --> 01:25:11.333
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you want?

01:25:11.533 --> 01:25:12.173
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

01:25:12.193 --> 01:25:12.834
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it can be.

01:25:13.314 --> 01:25:13.875
[SPEAKER_02]: No challenge guy.

01:25:14.455 --> 01:25:14.835
[SPEAKER_01]: No challenge.

01:25:14.855 --> 01:25:16.316
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a TV title best around.

01:25:17.674 --> 01:25:21.815
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, after El Fantasma, we have Yoshi Hashie.

01:25:21.835 --> 01:25:26.617
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think this is a kind of a one match tournament for Yoshi Hashie.

01:25:27.237 --> 01:25:34.479
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I mean by that is he's going to be in the mix, but it's going to be Yoshi Hashie, similar to ELP, good matches.

01:25:35.259 --> 01:25:37.080
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to lose to the very top tier.

01:25:37.320 --> 01:25:42.541
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to beat the guys that are a little bit lower, and he'll probably pull off a little bit of an upset.

01:25:42.581 --> 01:25:43.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, which upset could he pull?

01:25:45.062 --> 01:25:50.444
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the very last night of block play, he's wrestling Zach Saber Jr.

01:25:50.504 --> 01:25:59.608
[SPEAKER_01]: The man who almost ripped the arm of his best friend out of its sockets and handed it to Ritchews Uno on the way to recapturing the World Heavyweight title.

01:26:00.148 --> 01:26:05.350
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see a Yoshi Hashie revenge thing going on there where Yoshi gets Zach

01:26:06.010 --> 01:26:09.535
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that is Yoshi Hashie's G-One climax for this year.

01:26:10.196 --> 01:26:11.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Terrific wrestler, I'm glad he's here.

01:26:12.579 --> 01:26:20.390
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a big fan of his and I think he's going to wrestle well and he'll finish middle of the pack and maybe maybe get the world champ to

01:26:21.992 --> 01:26:43.762
[SPEAKER_02]: loses by perhaps there's something in that and that range of cost jacks something is he gets gets gets a little bit for go to maybe maybe that's my thought on Yoshi but he think I definitely have Yoshi hoshi as a spoiler in this tournament to somebody but I actually have him uphitting Takeshina

01:26:45.072 --> 01:26:46.253
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, that would be interesting.

01:26:46.813 --> 01:26:48.675
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't think anybody would see it coming.

01:26:48.695 --> 01:27:03.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it would, the way I haven't laughed out would cost to catch her from winning the B block and having to wrestle in the, uh, in the first round and potentially losing and getting bounced out, costing him, you know what I mean?

01:27:03.064 --> 01:27:12.890
[SPEAKER_02]: Like just like that one thing that just cost him like the, the smooth sailing path and no one would expect the Yoshi Hashie guy of all the people to,

01:27:13.791 --> 01:27:17.337
[SPEAKER_02]: to be that guy near the very end, it's kind of like, excuse me, what happened?

01:27:18.058 --> 01:27:26.291
[SPEAKER_02]: So for whatever reason, I just kind of gravitated toward that being his really big kind of

01:27:27.966 --> 01:27:33.432
[SPEAKER_01]: It could it could also be that could also be because I've gone back and forth on this with the Zach Saber match.

01:27:33.492 --> 01:27:44.123
[SPEAKER_01]: It could be part of this story of Zach being ruthless that he takes out Yoshi has she the way he took out go to sure and and hurts him in some way or so because we're seeing this more

01:27:45.529 --> 01:27:54.933
[SPEAKER_01]: willing to take that extra step from Zack that we didn't use to see almost and maybe being a little bit healish in a company with haunt diverses HOT.

01:27:55.933 --> 01:28:01.315
[SPEAKER_01]: So the other side of that whole, but I do think his story, his G one comes down to that Zack match.

01:28:01.635 --> 01:28:13.711
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe he gets the upset or maybe he's another cog in the machine that shows us that Zack Saber Jr is willing to be a little more Suzukiish and put people in the hospital if he needs to to get where he needs to go.

01:28:14.191 --> 01:28:16.815
[SPEAKER_01]: He could be a vehicle for telling that story as well, but yeah.

01:28:18.149 --> 01:28:21.170
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I'm with you on all of that.

01:28:21.270 --> 01:28:23.771
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Yoshi Hashie has a role to play.

01:28:23.791 --> 01:28:40.799
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's to catch no, or if it's somebody else, I think he is going to be the quintessential spoiler for one of the top guys, even though he's, you know, I got him in, you know, that Sonata Newman four points roll along with another guy in the B-block.

01:28:41.437 --> 01:28:49.282
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm seeing these gay kid comments, guys, and we will get to them when we get closer to kid and talk about him a little bit more, but he's an intriguing figure in this tournament.

01:28:49.322 --> 01:28:56.146
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand why everyone's discussing him in the comments and no problem, but I'm not bringing him up now until he got that bait.

01:28:56.246 --> 01:28:57.087
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not taking the bait.

01:28:58.327 --> 01:28:59.548
[SPEAKER_01]: Next, Schingo.

01:28:59.748 --> 01:29:00.269
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

01:29:00.369 --> 01:29:02.510
[SPEAKER_01]: So intriguing guy.

01:29:02.690 --> 01:29:03.991
[SPEAKER_01]: He was in the finals last year.

01:29:06.323 --> 01:29:08.284
[SPEAKER_01]: This is someone they always takes seriously.

01:29:08.484 --> 01:29:17.107
[SPEAKER_01]: You know he's going to be in it down to the very last day that Drillamologi match seems like a possible banana peel and the very last night.

01:29:18.308 --> 01:29:23.650
[SPEAKER_01]: And with Shingo, he's the leader of a faction that's not a faction.

01:29:24.931 --> 01:29:25.551
[SPEAKER_02]: Is he the leader?

01:29:26.471 --> 01:29:29.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, interesting question though, isn't it?

01:29:29.232 --> 01:29:32.674
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, so triggered me with that one because I don't think he's the front guy.

01:29:33.254 --> 01:29:35.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he might not end up being, but the key is

01:29:36.713 --> 01:29:37.496
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be in the mix.

01:29:37.958 --> 01:29:39.102
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have great matches.

01:29:40.401 --> 01:29:46.783
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the question is, does he slip on the banana peel of that last day and miss out on the walk play?

01:29:47.003 --> 01:29:49.203
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I think does he take a very good water?

01:29:49.443 --> 01:29:50.363
[SPEAKER_02]: I got you on that one.

01:29:51.344 --> 01:30:10.048
[SPEAKER_02]: The question is, it's like, if he going to be contender up to the very last night and it ends up being a situation where Maloney ends up being the spoiler for him and cost him that run, cementing Maloney is one of those main adventures with wins over a sheet, wins over a shingo, wins over the thing.

01:30:10.488 --> 01:30:18.134
[SPEAKER_02]: Shingo can run it back and they can have a match later on where, you know, in one of the big matches, big shows and September or October, where they're going it.

01:30:18.674 --> 01:30:30.883
[SPEAKER_02]: But if Shingo's role to have these great matches, and instead not advance to the block play, but, you know, be the guy to make the guys that make the block play.

01:30:32.825 --> 01:30:33.505
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's possible.

01:30:33.525 --> 01:30:38.149
[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing I think about when I look at that final day, Shingo against Maloney,

01:30:39.517 --> 01:30:41.017
[SPEAKER_01]: I have it down to a couple of people.

01:30:42.077 --> 01:30:45.378
[SPEAKER_01]: And in the end, I was trying to figure out who would be the last representative of the people.

01:30:45.458 --> 01:30:47.839
[SPEAKER_01]: I will be Gabe Kid, global champion.

01:30:48.419 --> 01:30:50.559
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a number two title, shark mentions.

01:30:50.639 --> 01:30:52.159
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really a number two title in the company.

01:30:54.060 --> 01:30:57.480
[SPEAKER_01]: Or shingo, somebody that's always a big part of everything.

01:30:57.520 --> 01:31:02.421
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's always considered one of the always put up with the very best and always a contender.

01:31:03.921 --> 01:31:06.102
[SPEAKER_01]: Maloney upsetting shingo.

01:31:07.175 --> 01:31:11.139
[SPEAKER_01]: in a way that lets a Gabe go forward, perhaps, isn't interesting story to tell.

01:31:12.340 --> 01:31:13.782
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an interesting story to tell too.

01:31:14.262 --> 01:31:26.335
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I can see Shango either squeaking in on the last thing with a win over Maloney or slipping on that banana peel and being the odd person out in the crowded block.

01:31:27.999 --> 01:31:34.383
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I'm looking at that last night and it's very similar to that last night of the Abelok.

01:31:34.923 --> 01:31:45.729
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the match that is in Conquantrol will be Gabe Kid and Elfantazmo that that starts it out and then you can do Shingon Drillah.

01:31:47.430 --> 01:31:50.212
[SPEAKER_01]: Underneath the intense most unconssequential by the way.

01:31:50.989 --> 01:32:09.062
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean, but the way I have it, like I would have him at the bottom, and if Gabe kid wins, he's in contention, but then everyone above him has a match that if they lose or whatever, so Gabe kind of gets screwed out of that role, but I do have Gabe winning that last night.

01:32:09.703 --> 01:32:12.104
[SPEAKER_02]: After that, you can do Shinko Takagi and Drillamoni.

01:32:12.705 --> 01:32:16.848
[SPEAKER_02]: Shingo, you know, get to eliminate it, kick to alive.

01:32:17.749 --> 01:32:26.105
[SPEAKER_02]: You can do that favor-jinger and Yoshi Hashie, which may be incong sequential because that favor-jinger the way I have it is.

01:32:27.220 --> 01:32:41.467
[SPEAKER_02]: when he comes to matches, that your theory of that type of junior just brutalizing him in the middle of it, and then whether he gets the buy or he's just in the block play, that would be his narrative.

01:32:41.547 --> 01:32:51.211
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you have Shota Umenor, Great O'Con, and if Shota Umenor loses he out, and then to Keshe and Renera, if they lose, if to Keshe loses he out.

01:32:51.772 --> 01:32:56.114
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the kid doesn't quite get in because the other two guys get it.

01:32:56.738 --> 01:32:58.180
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's, yeah, it's intriguing.

01:32:58.400 --> 01:33:01.304
[SPEAKER_01]: And Maloney is great for the banana peel spot.

01:33:01.544 --> 01:33:06.391
[SPEAKER_01]: And he has that Drillacillo, which is a believable finisher.

01:33:06.491 --> 01:33:07.092
[SPEAKER_01]: And he can hit it.

01:33:07.152 --> 01:33:08.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Certainly hit it on Shango.

01:33:08.173 --> 01:33:09.315
[SPEAKER_01]: He can hit it on almost anybody.

01:33:09.635 --> 01:33:10.596
[SPEAKER_01]: He's really strong.

01:33:11.157 --> 01:33:13.300
[SPEAKER_01]: That move looks like it would beat anybody.

01:33:13.660 --> 01:33:15.001
[SPEAKER_01]: If you take that move, you're done.

01:33:15.121 --> 01:33:27.172
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's terrific in that kind of a role, because you can believe one hundred percent that if you take that move, even if you are higher up on the card, theoretically than drill them alone, he lands that thing, your toes.

01:33:27.612 --> 01:33:31.155
[SPEAKER_01]: And you don't, it doesn't hurt the guy's perception that much.

01:33:31.175 --> 01:33:32.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the guy took a drill.

01:33:32.236 --> 01:33:32.757
[SPEAKER_01]: What's he going to do?

01:33:33.618 --> 01:33:34.839
[SPEAKER_01]: So it works in that sense too.

01:33:36.343 --> 01:33:38.264
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's got a couple of comments here.

01:33:38.805 --> 01:33:43.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Brad mentions the shingles in the ECE role of a guy who can have five star matches every night, but won't go to the playoffs.

01:33:44.048 --> 01:33:54.594
[SPEAKER_01]: And crash TV says not sure shingle will make it out of the groups now, but say the plan may have been to do so when go to was still in the running AK originally he was to be go to spoiler about interesting.

01:33:54.754 --> 01:33:55.935
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a possibility.

01:33:56.135 --> 01:33:57.176
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, there's

01:33:58.306 --> 01:34:01.249
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of ways I could have gone if go to where we're in this tournament.

01:34:01.689 --> 01:34:06.775
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, that we're really what we would have a very different conversation going here than what we have right now.

01:34:07.135 --> 01:34:08.076
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, who's next up?

01:34:10.038 --> 01:34:11.059
[SPEAKER_01]: Zach Saber Jr.

01:34:11.099 --> 01:34:11.159
[SPEAKER_01]: So

01:34:13.168 --> 01:34:18.251
[SPEAKER_01]: It's almost very, very simple when it comes to Zach, is that he should do very, very well.

01:34:18.531 --> 01:34:20.712
[SPEAKER_01]: He should move into the playoffs.

01:34:20.752 --> 01:34:37.861
[SPEAKER_01]: He should, how far he advanced into the playoffs is another thing, but it just seems a little bit obvious that the World Champion doesn't win this tournament, because this whole tournament is about creating challenges for the World Champion, creating a number one contender, and whoever knocks Zach out can be a challenger.

01:34:38.041 --> 01:34:40.503
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the other shows along the way, it keep mine.

01:34:41.387 --> 01:34:44.569
[SPEAKER_01]: Zach made it all about King of Pro Wrestling last year.

01:34:45.129 --> 01:34:48.951
[SPEAKER_01]: No guarantees that it goes from G-one station to station to the Tokyo dome.

01:34:48.971 --> 01:34:51.312
[SPEAKER_01]: They might want to have chapters in the middle here too.

01:34:51.372 --> 01:35:00.497
[SPEAKER_01]: So either way, I think whoever bounces Zach out will get a match with him and we'll get a world title match with him.

01:35:02.618 --> 01:35:07.442
[SPEAKER_01]: The winner of the G-One will also end up challenging for the World Heavyweight title at some point.

01:35:07.502 --> 01:35:26.336
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Zack's job here is to, I think, look like a monster who is willing to hurt people and continue this story of him being a little bit more ruthless, but in the end, falling just short and creating the challenges necessary to get the company the main events that needs through the second half of the year.

01:35:27.737 --> 01:35:31.400
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I think that every junior get a win the B-block.

01:35:33.035 --> 01:35:35.016
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think he's only gonna lose like two matches.

01:35:35.136 --> 01:35:38.517
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's gonna win more matches than anyone else in the block play.

01:35:39.017 --> 01:35:42.578
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'll have him that like seven and two whenever one else goes like, it's a complete.

01:35:42.958 --> 01:35:44.658
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're thinking, fourteen, maybe even now.

01:35:44.718 --> 01:35:49.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think he might even, I think he might even snatch sixteen out of it or something like that.

01:35:49.680 --> 01:36:01.223
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going with the idea that he loses to Takeshita and Umino to run back in Umino match in September and then due to Takeshita versus that Saber Jr for Bitten Door.

01:36:02.532 --> 01:36:08.935
[SPEAKER_01]: That was what I was thinking to Keshta getting a win over him and then going to forbidden door makes an awful lot of sense for everybody.

01:36:09.016 --> 01:36:11.697
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and that's just very easy to run.

01:36:12.237 --> 01:36:13.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Just do that matching.

01:36:13.338 --> 01:36:15.799
[SPEAKER_02]: You can do that there for the IWGP title.

01:36:16.420 --> 01:36:17.200
[SPEAKER_02]: That Saber Jr.

01:36:17.220 --> 01:36:24.084
[SPEAKER_02]: wins or he could lose, but I get all honesty if they kind of should put that down right there.

01:36:25.044 --> 01:36:25.964
[SPEAKER_01]: No thank you.

01:36:26.224 --> 01:36:26.925
[SPEAKER_01]: No thank you.

01:36:27.145 --> 01:36:33.387
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean it wouldn't shock me because I've done some knuckleheaded things, but that but yeah, you can't shouldn't be switching their world title if forbidden door.

01:36:33.427 --> 01:36:35.628
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an A. You can call it double brand.

01:36:35.648 --> 01:36:36.668
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an A. W. Show.

01:36:37.208 --> 01:36:42.310
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely not, but you're you're introducing an element of doubt here.

01:36:42.470 --> 01:36:45.491
[SPEAKER_02]: When you have like it, yeah, like to catch a win the title.

01:36:45.551 --> 01:36:48.012
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you do a big match like that if forbidden door.

01:36:48.532 --> 01:36:48.832
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't

01:36:49.650 --> 01:36:51.230
[SPEAKER_02]: Think that they should do a title change here.

01:36:51.570 --> 01:36:52.751
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they should do the match there.

01:36:53.331 --> 01:36:56.771
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they do a match with Umano in September.

01:36:57.331 --> 01:37:05.433
[SPEAKER_02]: And then whoever knocks him out in post block play and is by match or the match after get that October match.

01:37:06.513 --> 01:37:11.834
[SPEAKER_02]: And here's the thing I've been thinking about or the G one winner calls him out for KLPW.

01:37:11.874 --> 01:37:13.174
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can do that.

01:37:13.374 --> 01:37:16.895
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's the thing I've been thinking all this time this past week.

01:37:18.335 --> 01:37:22.417
[SPEAKER_02]: That hip drinker called out his shot last year and won the title on October.

01:37:22.977 --> 01:37:30.321
[SPEAKER_02]: There would be some poetry and some like rhythm to somebody else like a him accepting a challenge and losing the title on October.

01:37:31.041 --> 01:37:32.962
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing I keep going back to.

01:37:33.642 --> 01:37:50.967
[SPEAKER_02]: is the ticket sales for that retro kingdom with him at the top of Tomb, like near the top of two major matches, and having the disappointing ticket sales, and I don't see him being the champion going in with him that regardless of Tana Hashie clothing the show or not.

01:37:51.347 --> 01:37:52.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree with you.

01:37:52.547 --> 01:37:55.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that that was seen as a failed experiment now after less.

01:37:56.008 --> 01:38:01.370
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah, it was just one of those things rose, like,

01:38:03.158 --> 01:38:07.901
[SPEAKER_01]: Those, if you took the two combined crowds, it wouldn't have filled the dome once.

01:38:08.862 --> 01:38:11.844
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the, it just didn't, it didn't quite work out.

01:38:12.004 --> 01:38:15.607
[SPEAKER_01]: And anyone, anyone who watches a show knows we love Zach.

01:38:16.267 --> 01:38:19.430
[SPEAKER_01]: But maybe not as the wrong one.

01:38:19.610 --> 01:38:20.891
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's sending him up to fail.

01:38:22.779 --> 01:38:23.720
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, right?

01:38:23.880 --> 01:38:30.243
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, like he's valuable, but he's not the guy to be the champ.

01:38:31.103 --> 01:38:39.367
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't feel like the guy to be the champion for a wrestling kingdom unless you make the feud incredibly hot and the challenger is more.

01:38:39.888 --> 01:38:43.049
[SPEAKER_02]: And you have neither of those things right now.

01:38:43.429 --> 01:38:44.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's very true.

01:38:44.510 --> 01:38:48.252
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, after Zack, great Ocon.

01:38:48.292 --> 01:38:50.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, bless us, Art, as we say in Texas,

01:38:52.405 --> 01:38:55.331
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see him being the surprise guy in the playoffs this year.

01:38:55.371 --> 01:38:59.138
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, I think, Great O'Con is.

01:39:00.341 --> 01:39:23.810
[SPEAKER_01]: probably going to finish middle of the pack here and be in a match there against Shota on the final night that might have some consequences, but especially after how O'Con humiliated Umino earlier in the year, that match is going to have some steam on it in the same way the O'Shehashi is and we're going to want to get it Zach that last night, Shota's going to want to get it O'Con.

01:39:24.690 --> 01:39:30.611
[SPEAKER_01]: That match might be his G-One, you know, in a way that, or to, it might be O'Con's G-One, I mean, that.

01:39:30.671 --> 01:39:39.914
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're probably going to do fine in this tournament, but I don't think they're going to be in the mix at the end.

01:39:40.014 --> 01:39:47.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they're going to be mathematically in it on the last night of Block Play and there'll be an also ran here on the different things.

01:39:48.316 --> 01:39:49.816
[SPEAKER_01]: It is not United Empire's G-One.

01:39:49.856 --> 01:39:50.416
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just no.

01:39:50.456 --> 01:39:50.656
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

01:39:51.196 --> 01:39:54.297
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't identify it in shambles, you know, like,

01:39:55.678 --> 01:40:07.527
[SPEAKER_02]: And as much as, you know, Calvin Newman wants to be Jeff Cobb or Henare, he just doesn't have that kind of presence and cachet with in the New Japan roster.

01:40:07.628 --> 01:40:15.314
[SPEAKER_02]: And right now, Granal Con is one of four guys that I think United Empire kind of has in perpetuity right now.

01:40:15.514 --> 01:40:19.897
[SPEAKER_02]: And last year, they surprised everyone and put him in post block plane.

01:40:19.937 --> 01:40:22.219
[SPEAKER_02]: He just doesn't feel like

01:40:23.280 --> 01:40:24.500
[SPEAKER_02]: That's their momentum.

01:40:24.680 --> 01:40:38.684
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's much more likely to be the guy that costs like Gabe kid and Shingo, like beating them and costing them their opportunity on points, rather than being the guy to go forward.

01:40:39.064 --> 01:40:43.205
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he's going to matter, he's going to be an F factor, but he's not the F factor.

01:40:44.497 --> 01:40:49.920
[SPEAKER_01]: It's intriguing right now, Jeremy, United Empire is bigger in CMLL than it is in New Japan.

01:40:50.080 --> 01:40:52.182
[SPEAKER_01]: And Tempilario is a major player over there.

01:40:52.402 --> 01:40:54.743
[SPEAKER_01]: Francesco Akira just wanted to let you a lot.

01:40:55.043 --> 01:40:59.006
[SPEAKER_01]: We're a Lampago match in Arena, Mexico, on a Friday night show.

01:40:59.746 --> 01:41:04.449
[SPEAKER_01]: TJP has been a pretty prominent wrestler lately for CMLL.

01:41:06.270 --> 01:41:10.872
[SPEAKER_01]: United Empire has been a big part of those Friday night shows the last few weeks and they feel like afterthoughts here in the G.E.

01:41:11.072 --> 01:41:14.193
[SPEAKER_01]: One, I think United Empire is a bigger deal in Mexico right now than it has just been.

01:41:14.513 --> 01:41:14.973
[SPEAKER_01]: Strange days.

01:41:14.993 --> 01:41:19.155
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, twenty twenty five.

01:41:19.955 --> 01:41:26.438
[SPEAKER_02]: The they have that like at Fort W. production contest every year that they try and do on wrestling with it for live.

01:41:27.258 --> 01:41:32.480
[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like somebody has predicted any of this, they should just get the trophy for the next five years.

01:41:34.140 --> 01:41:35.441
[SPEAKER_01]: After great no time we have.

01:41:36.317 --> 01:41:37.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Gabe kid.

01:41:37.338 --> 01:41:39.400
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is the global heavyweight champion.

01:41:40.300 --> 01:41:41.962
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got to take him very seriously in this one.

01:41:42.903 --> 01:41:43.023
[SPEAKER_01]: And

01:41:44.562 --> 01:41:51.704
[SPEAKER_01]: I had him moving on into post block play here, mostly with Maloney edging out Shango at the end.

01:41:51.724 --> 01:41:53.584
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about the little upset right there.

01:41:54.044 --> 01:41:56.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Kid is wrestling ELP on the final night.

01:41:57.245 --> 01:42:00.166
[SPEAKER_01]: That feels like a match that he can win to get himself in it.

01:42:00.906 --> 01:42:05.147
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they are going to want to take the global title seriously.

01:42:05.167 --> 01:42:07.728
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to want to take the global champion seriously.

01:42:08.968 --> 01:42:12.591
[SPEAKER_01]: And right now, I feel like kids not going to win the G-One.

01:42:12.671 --> 01:42:15.414
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think that that's in the cards for them at all right there.

01:42:15.454 --> 01:42:19.577
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do think they want to put a little steam on him and that belt.

01:42:19.977 --> 01:42:21.078
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep the heat on that belt.

01:42:21.699 --> 01:42:27.384
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think he's going to have a very good tournament and probably lose in the first round of post block play.

01:42:27.524 --> 01:42:28.685
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my prediction for Gabe Kid.

01:42:29.847 --> 01:42:35.372
[SPEAKER_02]: I would not be surprised if we run back Umano and gave kids for that global title at Rethelking them.

01:42:36.332 --> 01:42:53.565
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that we kind of, it's first half of the year was a few, which, you know, the second half is a few, with show to Umano and it stemmed out of show to Umano, getting the best out of him in this tournament and costing him essentially, you know, show to Umano go forward and he doesn't kind of thing.

01:42:54.326 --> 01:42:56.588
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's where we go forward.

01:42:57.669 --> 01:43:00.731
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, immediately because I don't think sure to, you know, really does.

01:43:00.891 --> 01:43:02.753
[SPEAKER_02]: And game kid is going to have that title.

01:43:02.833 --> 01:43:09.998
[SPEAKER_02]: And he, honestly, he's dropping in somebody and rest looking them or before because I just don't see him in New Japan next year.

01:43:10.279 --> 01:43:12.340
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Tana Hashi's going right.

01:43:13.081 --> 01:43:19.506
[SPEAKER_02]: And his like relationship with Tana Hashi and he's been doing this for three or four years since the pandemic.

01:43:22.442 --> 01:43:24.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, I think somebody's gonna hand him a bag, obviously.

01:43:25.523 --> 01:43:34.027
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think he might end up like working a couple of days for a new Japan, but it may be like he is going somewhere else.

01:43:34.467 --> 01:43:36.228
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the general vibe I get from him.

01:43:36.348 --> 01:43:46.112
[SPEAKER_02]: So book him strong, squeeze the blood out of the stone while you can, get the best game kid that you can for the next seven months until he's off to somewhere else.

01:43:48.339 --> 01:43:55.223
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I would not be confident in making any plans around either Gabe, kid, or David family at this point.

01:43:56.143 --> 01:43:56.343
[SPEAKER_01]: Who?

01:43:56.463 --> 01:43:58.925
[SPEAKER_01]: Boy, I would love to be wrong about that and have him around.

01:43:59.425 --> 01:44:02.006
[SPEAKER_01]: He's so much more effective in Newspand than he would be.

01:44:02.126 --> 01:44:14.033
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely, but it's just, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

01:44:14.452 --> 01:44:21.876
[SPEAKER_01]: And I say it over and over on this show, I will not criticize the wrestler for taking more money for what they put their body through and their brains.

01:44:23.197 --> 01:44:23.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Get the money.

01:44:23.717 --> 01:44:25.378
[SPEAKER_01]: If you can get the money, go ahead and take the money.

01:44:26.079 --> 01:44:41.368
[SPEAKER_01]: If you choose not to, if you choose to stay in Japan, more power to you and all that, but you will never hear me use the term sell out or any of that garbage because for what these guys put themselves through, if they can get paid and they want to get paid, go get paid for what they're done.

01:44:42.088 --> 01:44:43.269
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see if we can have a call right here.

01:44:43.549 --> 01:44:44.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm going to get to it right here.

01:44:44.949 --> 01:44:53.232
[SPEAKER_01]: It says there's got to be some blowback for his death writer, Stanton A. E. W. Could have run in act as a spoiler over his G. One and lead and lead into forbidden door.

01:44:53.272 --> 01:44:54.813
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, could we see Somoa Joe run in?

01:44:55.293 --> 01:45:04.516
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see Somoa Joe running in in Japan, but I don't see that happening, but some fallout from the death writer Stanton.

01:45:04.536 --> 01:45:06.957
[SPEAKER_01]: That's that's always possible right there.

01:45:07.657 --> 01:45:07.997
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's that?

01:45:08.658 --> 01:45:09.238
[SPEAKER_02]: Eddie Kingston.

01:45:10.402 --> 01:45:35.245
[SPEAKER_02]: I know you're willing, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're

01:45:36.515 --> 01:45:37.296
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a crash.

01:45:37.356 --> 01:45:41.498
[SPEAKER_01]: As his DR stand makes less sense now since nothing seems to have come of it has to be led.

01:45:41.859 --> 01:45:43.780
[SPEAKER_02]: So I just had to, they had to wrap it up.

01:45:43.820 --> 01:45:45.401
[SPEAKER_02]: He had to get back to Japan.

01:45:45.941 --> 01:45:46.262
[SPEAKER_02]: No, though.

01:45:46.362 --> 01:45:50.425
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't run it through, but he's, he's not going to win the fourth or in door.

01:45:50.885 --> 01:45:52.366
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there will be video packages.

01:45:52.466 --> 01:45:53.327
[SPEAKER_02]: They'll be whatever.

01:45:53.427 --> 01:45:59.831
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe somebody shows up at the end of the G one, but I mean, he can cut almost on video and they can play it on the show.

01:45:59.871 --> 01:46:00.311
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll be fine.

01:46:00.371 --> 01:46:05.435
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I can work on the G one will not be co-opted in the middle of the tournament.

01:46:06.317 --> 01:46:12.921
[SPEAKER_02]: or AEW at the end of the tournament, you know, like at the finals or something like that, one hundred percent.

01:46:13.101 --> 01:46:18.504
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like the seventeenth I think is the finals or something like that, and then forbidden doors to twenty-four.

01:46:18.604 --> 01:46:20.705
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a full week before then.

01:46:20.965 --> 01:46:25.627
[SPEAKER_02]: And if Gabe kid is on forbidden door, I'm sorry, it's not going to be a made event match.

01:46:25.687 --> 01:46:34.152
[SPEAKER_02]: It could be a match on the card, and they're going to be building a ton of other stuff before they get to whatever Gabe kid has because it's just going to be topping up the ice cream.

01:46:34.673 --> 01:46:38.076
[SPEAKER_01]: If they had if they can get any for that and that he's ready to come back and he's there.

01:46:38.136 --> 01:46:39.117
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that would be wonderful.

01:46:39.177 --> 01:46:43.101
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think everybody would be into it and like shark says I was there for the Eddie Gabe.

01:46:43.121 --> 01:46:51.008
[SPEAKER_01]: Imagine yeah, we'll be awesome for for Bindor and Gabe Stent like Brad says Gabe Stent and AEW was we need a guy to put in box places he served.

01:46:51.308 --> 01:46:52.169
[SPEAKER_01]: Gabe is a madman.

01:46:52.189 --> 01:46:52.669
[SPEAKER_01]: So it works.

01:46:53.070 --> 01:46:56.193
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know if they get up, but I don't want Will Hall for his Gabe kid.

01:46:56.793 --> 01:47:02.076
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not a lot of depth to that whole thing, and it made very, very, very little sense at all whatsoever.

01:47:02.116 --> 01:47:06.559
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, like you said, again, there's no murder scenario, brob.

01:47:07.099 --> 01:47:13.203
[SPEAKER_01]: There's, yeah, there's no real evidence that anyone in AEW watches New Japan at all.

01:47:13.363 --> 01:47:16.285
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's just no, there's no visible evidence of that.

01:47:16.305 --> 01:47:18.086
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't imagine somebody wouldn't pay close attention to it.

01:47:18.106 --> 01:47:19.487
[SPEAKER_02]: You'll figure, all right, now who's next?

01:47:27.758 --> 01:47:28.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Drill him alone.

01:47:28.599 --> 01:47:34.082
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, we got a guy here that is terrific and working his way up the cart.

01:47:34.382 --> 01:47:36.143
[SPEAKER_01]: He will not be moving on to Blockplay.

01:47:36.883 --> 01:47:47.089
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be real good and perhaps again, his G-One will probably come down to an upset or to putting people over and then maybe being in that spoiler roll on the final night.

01:47:47.649 --> 01:47:52.612
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do think that New Japan wants to put a little bit of steam into this guy.

01:47:54.722 --> 01:47:57.543
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not much signs of him leaving at this point.

01:47:57.643 --> 01:48:00.565
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, he's he's going to be somebody they take care of.

01:48:00.925 --> 01:48:04.166
[SPEAKER_01]: They won't job him out, but he's not going to be a factor in this.

01:48:04.186 --> 01:48:08.048
[SPEAKER_01]: You want, I don't think except he will be in that's in that spoiler role.

01:48:08.328 --> 01:48:11.390
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I have him, you know, kind of beaten shingo, great.

01:48:11.430 --> 01:48:13.691
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Colin, couple of little bit bubble guys to cost him from

01:48:14.291 --> 01:48:19.433
[SPEAKER_02]: advancing to the post block when they're on a run, that kind of thing.

01:48:19.673 --> 01:48:23.854
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's all about having a good showing and seeing what you can do on a consistent basis.

01:48:24.294 --> 01:48:40.300
[SPEAKER_02]: If your body's going to hold up, if your work rate is there, like I said, he would be in my book the next guy up, if there was going to be a bullet club kind of, you know, Timway and Gabe Kid weaving.

01:48:41.479 --> 01:48:42.880
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think you can carry it.

01:48:42.900 --> 01:48:50.405
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I think in a very different worker than Gabe kid, but it can be just as good, just in a different way.

01:48:50.626 --> 01:48:53.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing, not the mad man way, but he's charismatic dude.

01:48:53.347 --> 01:48:56.950
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got a great build and very, very strong.

01:48:57.270 --> 01:49:03.855
[SPEAKER_01]: Similar to Finlay and that if you made a list of the strongest guys in New Japan, you wouldn't have him as high as he actually would be.

01:49:03.935 --> 01:49:06.877
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Finlay's that deceptively strong dude and

01:49:08.238 --> 01:49:08.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Boy, drill him alone.

01:49:09.019 --> 01:49:12.541
[SPEAKER_01]: He does not have any problem getting those some big guys up for that drill a kill.

01:49:12.581 --> 01:49:15.323
[SPEAKER_01]: And he seems to do it safely, although it scares him and hell out of me every time.

01:49:15.844 --> 01:49:18.626
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a guy that's sweaty.

01:49:18.646 --> 01:49:20.047
[SPEAKER_01]: It might not even be drill this fall.

01:49:20.087 --> 01:49:23.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what if the guy's just really sweaty and he slips through just down on his head like that?

01:49:23.089 --> 01:49:25.911
[SPEAKER_01]: Just gives me the wheelies, but he makes it work every single time.

01:49:25.991 --> 01:49:29.134
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, until once money doesn't, I guess, right?

01:49:29.154 --> 01:49:31.976
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, drill him only.

01:49:31.996 --> 01:49:32.576
[SPEAKER_01]: I like him a lot.

01:49:32.656 --> 01:49:33.137
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not his year.

01:49:34.543 --> 01:49:36.564
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's the potential guy.

01:49:37.204 --> 01:49:43.125
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's more money in him than Newman at this point if we're looking at two guys that are at the bottom of each bracket.

01:49:44.206 --> 01:49:59.490
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think I think he got the cachet and the character and the ability to just kind of connect with the audience that Newman's a really good worker, but he hasn't tapped into that thing yet that has made the going to make him great.

01:50:00.270 --> 01:50:00.810
[SPEAKER_02]: if that makes sense.

01:50:01.250 --> 01:50:02.591
[SPEAKER_01]: And he hasn't been in that position.

01:50:02.951 --> 01:50:08.952
[SPEAKER_01]: He stumbled backwards accidentally into that world title match with Goto and then he showed up and that match was great.

01:50:09.332 --> 01:50:12.773
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think we would have been thinking of Newman at all in that sense.

01:50:13.533 --> 01:50:14.953
[SPEAKER_01]: But that match certainly makes sense.

01:50:14.973 --> 01:50:16.753
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, maybe there is something there with him.

01:50:17.614 --> 01:50:19.634
[SPEAKER_01]: So that match did wonders for him.

01:50:20.014 --> 01:50:23.955
[SPEAKER_01]: Always when you step up into a main event and then turn it on like that, that's always good for you.

01:50:23.975 --> 01:50:25.295
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what Newman's done.

01:50:25.415 --> 01:50:28.756
[SPEAKER_01]: So basically all the Newman's ever done is anything that's asked of him.

01:50:28.956 --> 01:50:31.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, which is always a good sign when you're dealing with the company.

01:50:31.978 --> 01:50:33.318
[SPEAKER_01]: Maloney is kind of the same thing.

01:50:34.679 --> 01:50:39.362
[SPEAKER_01]: Whenever they put him in a position where they need a big match out of it, he seems to deliver one.

01:50:39.382 --> 01:50:45.765
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's a good spot to be in for both Newman and Maloney is just that the role of spoilers here, they're not going to win the thing.

01:50:45.845 --> 01:50:47.066
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a job.

01:50:47.126 --> 01:50:47.766
[SPEAKER_01]: Have a good match.

01:50:47.846 --> 01:50:48.406
[SPEAKER_01]: Put the guys on.

01:50:48.807 --> 01:50:55.010
[SPEAKER_02]: The best way to put it is the confidence and drill a Maloney seems to be mutual between both Drilla and each Ben.

01:50:57.088 --> 01:51:01.352
[SPEAKER_01]: And Brad mentioned, so I'm honestly more interested in drill than I am in Gabe right now.

01:51:01.432 --> 01:51:03.775
[SPEAKER_01]: Gabe's a good worker, but I can't get behind his madman character.

01:51:04.055 --> 01:51:07.059
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually like his pro NJPW, Tana aspect more.

01:51:07.980 --> 01:51:15.067
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, when he had the lion mark thing at Wrestle Dynasty brought something very interesting out in that character.

01:51:15.732 --> 01:51:17.553
[SPEAKER_01]: that that was an interesting twist.

01:51:17.633 --> 01:51:18.093
[SPEAKER_01]: I enjoyed it.

01:51:18.593 --> 01:51:20.314
[SPEAKER_01]: And Crash TV says drills look sharp.

01:51:20.354 --> 01:51:22.974
[SPEAKER_01]: Certainly seems committed to his redevelopment as a heavyweight definitely.

01:51:23.074 --> 01:51:24.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, dudes ripped.

01:51:24.735 --> 01:51:27.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Gives looked a trimmer and more muscle mass too.

01:51:27.976 --> 01:51:34.138
[SPEAKER_01]: And sharks as it would be would either be drill or someone out of the left field for a future bullet club kingpin.

01:51:34.158 --> 01:51:39.400
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, drills probably the best choice to both cave and thinly find themselves elsewhere in the coming year.

01:51:39.460 --> 01:51:41.140
[SPEAKER_01]: So we believe in the guy we all believe in.

01:51:41.661 --> 01:51:42.181
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's all right?

01:51:42.201 --> 01:51:42.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's next?

01:51:42.821 --> 01:51:43.521
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's keep it all right.

01:51:43.601 --> 01:51:46.162
[SPEAKER_02]: We got the chaos goblin himself.

01:51:46.622 --> 01:51:47.362
[SPEAKER_01]: Renderita.

01:51:47.423 --> 01:51:47.783
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:51:47.903 --> 01:51:48.783
[SPEAKER_01]: See, this is one.

01:51:49.583 --> 01:51:51.404
[SPEAKER_01]: This is one of my things about house of torture, man.

01:51:51.444 --> 01:51:52.684
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy should be so much better.

01:51:53.144 --> 01:51:56.986
[SPEAKER_01]: He is wrestling to Kesta on the last day of block play.

01:51:57.046 --> 01:51:59.066
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the spoiler threat right there.

01:52:00.127 --> 01:52:06.129
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like this G one is more evil story than Narita's or Sanadas.

01:52:06.609 --> 01:52:06.809
[SPEAKER_01]: So

01:52:08.428 --> 01:52:13.831
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see him being part of the playoff picture, but I do see him being a threat to being in it.

01:52:14.171 --> 01:52:23.935
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, it's going to be one of those things where evil goes through and maybe to catch them and just overcome all the BS and beat Narita on the last night.

01:52:24.015 --> 01:52:28.498
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see that being being the case, especially because this will be after evil.

01:52:28.778 --> 01:52:31.339
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, oh, no, we're not going to have evil and Narita, are we?

01:52:32.179 --> 01:52:34.260
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think to catch them, I'd save us from that.

01:52:35.041 --> 01:52:37.322
[SPEAKER_01]: But Narita is

01:52:38.636 --> 01:52:43.470
[SPEAKER_01]: the best wrestler of the House of Torture representatives in this tournament.

01:52:44.051 --> 01:52:46.197
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm at least really thinking better than evil.

01:52:48.144 --> 01:52:53.086
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think when he wrestles, evil is very, very capable wrestler.

01:52:53.146 --> 01:52:55.628
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just he is so into this house of torture character.

01:52:57.088 --> 01:53:00.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Narina tries to wrestle when he has a match.

01:53:00.150 --> 01:53:09.254
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that they might make any sense of like, you know, he's a better technical wrestler and what I think evil is more complete package of a wrestler personally.

01:53:10.183 --> 01:53:11.284
[SPEAKER_01]: He was better promo.

01:53:12.124 --> 01:53:13.765
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got, he's better at that.

01:53:13.826 --> 01:53:16.347
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a better leader for House of Yorkshire than Norida would be.

01:53:17.068 --> 01:53:18.569
[SPEAKER_01]: Evel's very, very good in his role.

01:53:18.589 --> 01:53:20.210
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that evil leans into the hole.

01:53:20.410 --> 01:53:22.491
[SPEAKER_01]: I am not here to have a good match for you people thing.

01:53:22.872 --> 01:53:24.173
[SPEAKER_01]: I am not here to have a good match.

01:53:24.453 --> 01:53:25.413
[SPEAKER_01]: I am here to upset you.

01:53:25.814 --> 01:53:27.855
[SPEAKER_01]: I am here to take away the stuff that you like.

01:53:27.915 --> 01:53:29.396
[SPEAKER_01]: You like great wrestling matches.

01:53:29.676 --> 01:53:31.057
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to tear this place down.

01:53:31.177 --> 01:53:31.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Screw it.

01:53:32.318 --> 01:53:33.199
[SPEAKER_01]: For all this done for me.

01:53:33.779 --> 01:53:37.221
[SPEAKER_01]: And whereas when Norida gets into a match, you can't kind of,

01:53:38.182 --> 01:53:38.902
[SPEAKER_01]: can't help himself.

01:53:39.243 --> 01:53:40.804
[SPEAKER_01]: He's so good technically, and he wrestles.

01:53:41.284 --> 01:53:43.665
[SPEAKER_01]: Whereas sometimes you'll even see evil put the brakes on his eye.

01:53:43.685 --> 01:53:44.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm doing too much.

01:53:45.066 --> 01:53:46.287
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm doing too much.

01:53:46.327 --> 01:53:48.348
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to make these people pissed off.

01:53:49.048 --> 01:53:50.029
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you remember an easy dog?

01:53:50.049 --> 01:53:50.669
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go way back.

01:53:50.829 --> 01:53:58.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember an ECW when cactus check turned heel and the only way he could turn heel on the ECW crowd is not hit people with chairs.

01:53:59.014 --> 01:54:03.036
[SPEAKER_01]: And he would just like grab a hold and grab a chin lock and then just kind of play to the crowd.

01:54:03.097 --> 01:54:03.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not doing it.

01:54:04.017 --> 01:54:04.478
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not doing it.

01:54:04.718 --> 01:54:05.940
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not hitting him with the share here.

01:54:05.980 --> 01:54:06.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's a headlock for you.

01:54:06.842 --> 01:54:08.204
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you think?

01:54:08.624 --> 01:54:10.067
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of what evil does.

01:54:10.147 --> 01:54:11.369
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, oh, you want a good match?

01:54:11.549 --> 01:54:13.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Not going to give you a. Norea can't help the socks.

01:54:13.873 --> 01:54:14.554
[SPEAKER_01]: Gotta have a good match.

01:54:15.810 --> 01:54:23.433
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think I think the Rita is the number two of the three house, the torture guys that we have in this thing evil obviously we're going to be the representative going forward.

01:54:23.453 --> 01:54:27.435
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Rita is going to be the guy costing other guys the opportunity.

01:54:27.715 --> 01:54:30.236
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of expect him to be Gabe kid in this again.

01:54:30.256 --> 01:54:34.538
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of expect him to be great O'Con and kind of

01:54:35.018 --> 01:54:48.349
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, get a win over Yoshi-Hoshi and Maloney, which are kind of lower-end guys on tie and just he's a number two and they're they're kind of number three in in their faction so I kind of what I was looking at there and you know eight points.

01:54:48.749 --> 01:54:50.451
[SPEAKER_02]: It's good about right?

01:54:51.151 --> 01:54:56.074
[SPEAKER_01]: And he does have a match with show to Umano, which always has a little bit of steam on it because of the history between the two.

01:54:56.154 --> 01:55:03.178
[SPEAKER_01]: So Umano and Narita, you saw it in the previews when they were building up to this, the end of the NJPW soul.

01:55:03.258 --> 01:55:08.081
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure enough, they were on opposite sides of multi person matches just went at each other's throat.

01:55:08.141 --> 01:55:13.284
[SPEAKER_01]: So that Narita Umano clash will be a nice little nice little

01:55:14.124 --> 01:55:18.291
[SPEAKER_02]: Does the one thing you want rendering it to get hit butt kicked significantly?

01:55:18.612 --> 01:55:20.775
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to be infuriated when the match is over.

01:55:21.376 --> 01:55:22.098
[SPEAKER_02]: That's my opinion.

01:55:23.003 --> 01:55:23.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see here.

01:55:24.704 --> 01:55:28.146
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Crash TV says to Kesha, should put him put shit.

01:55:28.186 --> 01:55:29.747
[SPEAKER_01]: Oops, I missed the comma.

01:55:30.347 --> 01:55:32.589
[SPEAKER_01]: To Kesha, should put him through his paces at the very least, I guess.

01:55:32.609 --> 01:55:33.409
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah.

01:55:33.929 --> 01:55:39.173
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it said, Shark says not only isn't Rita stuck in house of torture, he doesn't even get to be the big bad heel at the top.

01:55:39.513 --> 01:55:42.254
[SPEAKER_01]: He's honestly the one guy in the house that bothers me that he's in the group.

01:55:43.195 --> 01:55:45.796
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was going to say, don't keep bothers me more.

01:55:45.856 --> 01:55:47.958
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and Rita, the point is made.

01:55:48.038 --> 01:55:48.978
[SPEAKER_01]: And there.

01:55:50.439 --> 01:55:53.440
[SPEAKER_01]: I show seems to enjoy being in house a torture so much.

01:55:53.480 --> 01:55:54.841
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost wouldn't want to take it away from him.

01:55:54.961 --> 01:55:56.861
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's a better wrestler than that.

01:55:57.561 --> 01:56:02.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Crash says Narita's like the local comic relief on the mic doing his Japanese sign-fell steak before every match.

01:56:02.083 --> 01:56:02.923
[SPEAKER_01]: No idea what he's saying.

01:56:03.203 --> 01:56:06.084
[SPEAKER_01]: And they don't think they bother to translate, but he seems to crack up everybody.

01:56:06.104 --> 01:56:08.165
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I just have like the biddy biddy biddy.

01:56:08.185 --> 01:56:08.745
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't do biddy.

01:56:08.825 --> 01:56:14.447
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't say I think this show actually that does that show does the whole this town and everybody in it sucks at.

01:56:15.288 --> 01:56:18.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Brad says John Cena said he's going to ruin wrestling for his heel work.

01:56:20.286 --> 01:56:24.208
[SPEAKER_01]: There are reasons why John might have ruined something, but that's not a seal.

01:56:26.049 --> 01:56:27.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, boy, I hope that turns around soon.

01:56:27.850 --> 01:56:28.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm about done with this whole thing.

01:56:28.970 --> 01:56:31.312
[SPEAKER_01]: WWE's about done with this whole scene of thing too.

01:56:31.352 --> 01:56:33.793
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, they did not want to spend their year to own this story.

01:56:34.653 --> 01:56:36.294
[SPEAKER_01]: To cover from just not being very good anymore.

01:56:37.014 --> 01:56:38.475
[SPEAKER_01]: Evil has done that gimmick already.

01:56:38.875 --> 01:56:40.196
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to push back on that one, Brett.

01:56:40.356 --> 01:56:42.797
[SPEAKER_01]: I think evil when he decides to wrestle can still do it.

01:56:43.418 --> 01:56:45.339
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I think evil is still looking.

01:56:45.399 --> 01:56:47.200
[SPEAKER_01]: They're still a good wrestler inside of evil.

01:56:47.540 --> 01:56:49.661
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just really into this house of torture characters.

01:56:51.124 --> 01:56:52.164
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my theory anyway.

01:56:52.224 --> 01:56:54.125
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see if it ever comes through.

01:56:55.146 --> 01:56:56.666
[SPEAKER_01]: I think evil just a very good resource.

01:56:57.386 --> 01:57:00.768
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I think he is too interesting.

01:57:00.828 --> 01:57:04.869
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think his matches are good because he's not one of the best wrestlers in the world.

01:57:05.510 --> 01:57:07.250
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think it's so good.

01:57:11.046 --> 01:57:26.194
[SPEAKER_01]: I think one of the best friends who are I did you're able to even even even your internet connection didn't believe you for a second, what you were saying right there, you were up in the middle of saying evil for this rest of the world, even the idea of the ability was to say is one of the best peer he'll ever see.

01:57:29.466 --> 01:57:31.427
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he committed to the gimmick.

01:57:31.787 --> 01:57:42.112
[SPEAKER_02]: I think fundamentally he is a very sound wrestler and I do think he is one of the best professionals in the world and I think he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

01:57:44.922 --> 01:57:46.683
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, bold.

01:57:47.323 --> 01:57:50.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Flaming Shark mentioned something that I think is going to happen, by the way.

01:57:50.705 --> 01:57:54.606
[SPEAKER_01]: He says that Doki was, well, not Doki, but he said it was a weird decision that made no sense.

01:57:54.666 --> 01:57:55.086
[SPEAKER_01]: And they agreed.

01:57:55.447 --> 01:57:59.808
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, Narita has suffered for far too long, save him from evil's brainwashing.

01:58:00.088 --> 01:58:01.209
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a story someday.

01:58:02.009 --> 01:58:03.010
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a story someday.

01:58:03.030 --> 01:58:03.170
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:58:03.190 --> 01:58:03.850
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going to be one.

01:58:04.390 --> 01:58:05.931
[SPEAKER_02]: The starthgream break to free.

01:58:07.685 --> 01:58:10.147
[SPEAKER_01]: And and column mentions when evil and sonata could be bothered.

01:58:10.167 --> 01:58:10.608
[SPEAKER_01]: They were great.

01:58:10.628 --> 01:58:11.689
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they were terrific.

01:58:11.829 --> 01:58:12.570
[SPEAKER_01]: When they were both healthy.

01:58:12.710 --> 01:58:13.350
[SPEAKER_01]: They were terrific.

01:58:13.590 --> 01:58:14.671
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, ten years ago.

01:58:14.792 --> 01:58:19.556
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, the fact that one of them still, you know, I need to better ten years ago, too.

01:58:20.036 --> 01:58:20.176
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

01:58:21.338 --> 01:58:21.758
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

01:58:21.778 --> 01:58:25.922
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, people are really hot at me for my evil advocacy.

01:58:27.597 --> 01:58:29.559
[SPEAKER_01]: And Brad says evil is very good.

01:58:29.699 --> 01:58:36.185
[SPEAKER_01]: Is very good wrestler almost everyone in HOT except the bullet club cast, the usual chase fall is really good.

01:58:36.445 --> 01:58:45.033
[SPEAKER_01]: It's part of what makes HOT so aggravating to me to just the fact that you have these guys who are very capable of great matches who are in a gimmick that doesn't allow them to do so kind of hurts me.

01:58:45.553 --> 01:58:46.454
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's next chairman?

01:58:46.874 --> 01:58:49.477
[SPEAKER_01]: We have one more to go before we talk about the post block stuff.

01:58:50.372 --> 01:58:53.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh boy, Kanozuke to catch the now this is a guy.

01:58:54.134 --> 01:58:56.715
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely have moving into post block play now.

01:58:56.755 --> 01:59:01.197
[SPEAKER_01]: He did not make the finals last year and Brad Sam.

01:59:01.558 --> 01:59:02.678
[SPEAKER_01]: We all have the same finals.

01:59:02.958 --> 01:59:06.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Kanozuke to catch the comes out of the B block and faces Yoda soon.

01:59:06.740 --> 01:59:07.401
[SPEAKER_01]: She in the finals.

01:59:07.441 --> 01:59:08.281
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he goes that one

01:59:08.321 --> 01:59:09.462
[SPEAKER_01]: One and a half a step for it.

01:59:09.502 --> 01:59:12.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I guess it's one step further than last year.

01:59:12.185 --> 01:59:15.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he actually does make the finals this year.

01:59:15.728 --> 01:59:17.590
[SPEAKER_01]: I've said over and over again, this dude's the truth.

01:59:18.090 --> 01:59:20.893
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy needs to be the next V guy in New Japan.

01:59:20.973 --> 01:59:21.854
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he wants to be.

01:59:22.434 --> 01:59:23.636
[SPEAKER_01]: I think New Japan wants him.

01:59:24.096 --> 01:59:31.923
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's doing some time in AEW to make the switch from DDT to New Japan a little more palatable and not direct.

01:59:32.664 --> 01:59:41.687
[SPEAKER_01]: for political reasons, and it's been a smart one because he seems to have kept the bridges mended among everyone and burned none of them.

01:59:43.447 --> 01:59:47.208
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this guy can be the biggest star in Japanese wrestling.

01:59:47.588 --> 01:59:51.350
[SPEAKER_01]: If he commits full time, I think this is the closest thing to Akata we've seen since Akata.

01:59:52.070 --> 01:59:55.651
[SPEAKER_01]: This is aura, his size, his working ability, his timing.

01:59:56.291 --> 01:59:57.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I am on the bus.

01:59:58.032 --> 01:59:58.692
[SPEAKER_01]: With all that said,

01:59:59.512 --> 02:00:01.193
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Yoda's Suji beats him in the finals.

02:00:01.653 --> 02:00:02.413
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's right there.

02:00:02.773 --> 02:00:07.595
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he goes all the way to the finals to lose to Yoda's Suji in the big match.

02:00:07.715 --> 02:00:13.077
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I will, well, fantasy book, Suji later, but that's my thought on that one, Takeshita, Suji.

02:00:13.918 --> 02:00:19.760
[SPEAKER_01]: And the best part of the G one to me, Jeremy, nine, Kenosuke Takeshita singles matches.

02:00:19.800 --> 02:00:21.320
[SPEAKER_01]: I get to watch over the course the next month.

02:00:21.380 --> 02:00:22.801
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the best part of the G one for me.

02:00:24.102 --> 02:00:24.322
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

02:00:26.630 --> 02:00:32.873
[SPEAKER_02]: Theota-Curgy and Connecticut show were the one and two of the people that I debated winning the entire thing.

02:00:34.034 --> 02:00:45.539
[SPEAKER_02]: But I also felt like if those are the two, and they had, I thought, that was a, it was, they got really close to the final lecture with those two.

02:00:46.960 --> 02:00:49.681
[SPEAKER_02]: I just can't remember, I don't remember what I was saying.

02:00:50.061 --> 02:00:52.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the final was Zach and Shingo.

02:00:53.523 --> 02:00:54.903
[SPEAKER_01]: The Zach Beach Shingo and the final.

02:00:54.943 --> 02:00:55.864
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, right, right.

02:00:57.239 --> 02:00:57.723
[SPEAKER_02]: And so...

02:00:59.084 --> 02:01:09.687
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if you want to put those two in the finals with each other because you split the audience of who you want going in a wrestle kingdom.

02:01:10.247 --> 02:01:11.927
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that's a wrestle kingdom match.

02:01:12.227 --> 02:01:13.067
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

02:01:13.107 --> 02:01:15.388
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you keep them apart this entire tournament.

02:01:16.148 --> 02:01:21.829
[SPEAKER_02]: And that is a big match that you do at wrestle kingdom with the Oto Fuji calling his shot in October.

02:01:22.189 --> 02:01:23.530
[SPEAKER_02]: And you do something like that.

02:01:23.550 --> 02:01:24.750
[SPEAKER_02]: It's entirely possible.

02:01:25.110 --> 02:01:28.511
[SPEAKER_02]: You'd have to create like a completely different element of

02:01:29.712 --> 02:01:30.332
[SPEAKER_02]: surprise.

02:01:30.913 --> 02:01:36.317
[SPEAKER_02]: So since it was in some of my final master, I feel like it's more like it would be a quarter final match or something this year.

02:01:37.258 --> 02:01:47.467
[SPEAKER_02]: Something that they they do, but remove the element of running that back very like and give you a different set of scenarios that kind of thing.

02:01:49.784 --> 02:01:52.828
[SPEAKER_02]: I have him second winning in the block.

02:01:52.888 --> 02:01:57.113
[SPEAKER_02]: So, officially it would be for me that San Bernardini or Takeshina in Umano.

02:01:58.074 --> 02:02:02.539
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's a pretty strong three on that side that they go.

02:02:04.141 --> 02:02:07.085
[SPEAKER_02]: Takeshina needs nothing in the tournament in all honesty.

02:02:07.445 --> 02:02:08.887
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think it's time.

02:02:09.646 --> 02:02:14.309
[SPEAKER_02]: for him to be put as the top guy because he's not committed to the promotion full-time.

02:02:14.770 --> 02:02:20.074
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a lot better to have him in a position where he's third or fourth at the top of the card.

02:02:20.094 --> 02:02:22.616
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe challenging for another big title.

02:02:22.636 --> 02:02:24.317
[SPEAKER_02]: It could be a global title match.

02:02:25.418 --> 02:02:28.800
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we have Takeshen and Gabe Kid very early on in this tournament.

02:02:28.860 --> 02:02:31.982
[SPEAKER_02]: They could run that back if they wanted to.

02:02:32.002 --> 02:02:34.604
[SPEAKER_02]: Takeshen is the real deal.

02:02:35.225 --> 02:02:39.248
[SPEAKER_02]: I've just not necessarily sure because he's not there all the time.

02:02:39.909 --> 02:02:48.215
[SPEAKER_02]: that putting him in the position to be the guy to lead and put in IWGP role near Russell Kingdom is the best idea.

02:02:48.915 --> 02:02:59.922
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think we can see what if he, here's the, here's the what if he eliminates Zach on the way because the way the brackets work out, eliminates Zach on the way.

02:02:59.962 --> 02:03:01.804
[SPEAKER_01]: That sets up the forbidden door title mesh.

02:03:03.024 --> 02:03:04.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Then he gets to sushi, he gets stopped.

02:03:05.586 --> 02:03:06.267
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe even

02:03:07.196 --> 02:03:12.519
[SPEAKER_01]: He, you can tell a bit of a story that Zach Dings his elbow or his knee during that match.

02:03:12.539 --> 02:03:20.164
[SPEAKER_01]: And he wins, you know, but maybe that you can use the knee or the elbow as an excuse as to why he doesn't beat Suji for instance or something like that.

02:03:20.864 --> 02:03:22.885
[SPEAKER_01]: So then he's got his forbidden door match.

02:03:23.966 --> 02:03:28.569
[SPEAKER_01]: New Japan doesn't have to put him in the Tokyo Don't Main event, you know, because he's not a full-time guy.

02:03:28.609 --> 02:03:29.870
[SPEAKER_01]: He can be a star on the show.

02:03:29.910 --> 02:03:31.931
[SPEAKER_01]: He can be a feature in a featured match.

02:03:32.631 --> 02:03:33.572
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's my thought for Suji.

02:03:35.081 --> 02:03:36.542
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is, here's my tin foil.

02:03:37.242 --> 02:03:38.843
[SPEAKER_01]: Suji wins G one.

02:03:40.263 --> 02:03:51.168
[SPEAKER_01]: He challenges Zach, but he challenges it for King of Pro Wrestling, because we like we talked about Zach as the World Champion going into Kingdom two years in a row, a little squidgy, right?

02:03:52.889 --> 02:03:55.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Suji beats in the King of Pro Wrestling.

02:03:56.046 --> 02:03:57.227
[SPEAKER_01]: and wins the world title.

02:03:58.227 --> 02:04:07.391
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you have this side story going where does the G-One winner next year now the whole thing is can the champion even make it to wrestle kingdom?

02:04:07.451 --> 02:04:10.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Now there's a story that used to be a given that the champion made it to wrestle kingdom.

02:04:11.033 --> 02:04:12.974
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you've got two years in a row of title changes.

02:04:13.034 --> 02:04:15.215
[SPEAKER_01]: Next year you've got intrigue around KLPW.

02:04:15.415 --> 02:04:17.156
[SPEAKER_01]: Can the champion even last until then?

02:04:17.636 --> 02:04:20.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Because now there's a precedent of it not happening.

02:04:21.398 --> 02:04:22.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Suji wins the king of pro wrestling.

02:04:24.204 --> 02:04:25.667
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's a freelancer out there.

02:04:25.687 --> 02:04:30.937
[SPEAKER_01]: And for one night, Tetsu Unido comes back in challenges of McKingham, and that's the Magic King.

02:04:31.218 --> 02:04:34.044
[SPEAKER_01]: Suji versus Naito, L-I-J.

02:04:35.475 --> 02:04:41.676
[SPEAKER_01]: at a reciprocating for the World Heavyweight title, and then Tana Hashi Ocata, if you can get it underneath that.

02:04:41.817 --> 02:04:54.159
[SPEAKER_01]: Tana Hashi Ocata, Suji Naito, and Naito, and that's as a chance for Suji to get launched, get the big win over his former faction leader, and become the unaffiliated leader of the faction that's not a faction.

02:04:54.259 --> 02:04:59.521
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's my tin foil hat booking for the year, without insight information, but I like it.

02:05:00.181 --> 02:05:01.541
[SPEAKER_01]: I do like it too, that's pretty bold.

02:05:01.981 --> 02:05:04.842
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd, you know, to three to three versus Naito, wrestle kingdom,

02:05:07.080 --> 02:05:07.785
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

02:05:10.526 --> 02:05:13.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Because better than what I had.

02:05:15.128 --> 02:05:17.789
[SPEAKER_01]: And Bushy are starting to wrestle for other companies now.

02:05:17.910 --> 02:05:23.352
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're starting to get their net, not that they really need to get their name out there, so to speak, but they're starting to wrestle a little bit.

02:05:23.552 --> 02:05:26.374
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, but they're going to start showing up on cards.

02:05:26.414 --> 02:05:27.494
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess Red Pro, right?

02:05:27.874 --> 02:05:30.255
[SPEAKER_01]: There might be some United States appearances and things.

02:05:30.295 --> 02:05:33.417
[SPEAKER_01]: So starting to get back into the groove a little bit, wrestling a little bit.

02:05:34.177 --> 02:05:37.279
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that that could be a thing where he's a freelancer.

02:05:37.819 --> 02:06:03.559
[SPEAKER_01]: means he can work for anybody including New Japan if they write a check big enough and he is a proven one of the very few absolute proven draws and we saw in person there last year just how many people were cosplaying night oh holding up the gear it was bring him the hell back and you know if they can work out something with Tony to get a cutback you have Tana Hashio cut of one more time right

02:06:04.580 --> 02:06:06.883
[SPEAKER_01]: Possibility and Kenny's not a bad choice either.

02:06:06.903 --> 02:06:10.769
[SPEAKER_01]: I said we got what Shin's case like five to one, right?

02:06:10.809 --> 02:06:11.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe.

02:06:11.630 --> 02:06:11.991
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

02:06:12.011 --> 02:06:13.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but Suji Naito.

02:06:15.296 --> 02:06:16.358
[SPEAKER_01]: Tana Hashio Kata.

02:06:16.858 --> 02:06:19.122
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not a bad one too much and if you want to do.

02:06:20.103 --> 02:06:26.488
[SPEAKER_01]: to Kesta and Gabe or to Ket or Shota and Gabe or some combination of those guys underneath.

02:06:27.149 --> 02:06:29.571
[SPEAKER_01]: You got Desparado versus whoever right there.

02:06:29.611 --> 02:06:40.120
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we might be able to beat out last year's, might be able to beat out last year's Russell Kingdom on national television and you're going to look night off our national TV.

02:06:40.180 --> 02:06:41.281
[SPEAKER_01]: They got a TV deal this year.

02:06:41.461 --> 02:06:41.961
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my thought.

02:06:42.542 --> 02:06:43.622
[SPEAKER_02]: It all seems like

02:06:44.597 --> 02:06:46.819
[SPEAKER_02]: a strategic play that makes total sense.

02:06:47.379 --> 02:07:03.831
[SPEAKER_02]: And frankly, I like it better than what I've been able to come up with, but it also feels like we talk regressive and even though we have like this entirely complicated scenario, going in and coming out of G-One, I feel like it's getting to get very, very clear, very, very quickly.

02:07:05.103 --> 02:07:15.046
[SPEAKER_02]: come like some pepper October, you know, because they're going to be a two on the period where we're going to be talking about the main event and we're just like, yeah, and it could go either way at this point.

02:07:15.806 --> 02:07:20.988
[SPEAKER_01]: So we've got us got some interesting belts to defend in January, too.

02:07:21.088 --> 02:07:24.649
[SPEAKER_01]: If he holds onto those titles, that's that's an interesting story right there.

02:07:24.689 --> 02:07:28.970
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to defend the Continental one more time in the C two before we go there.

02:07:29.011 --> 02:07:33.492
[SPEAKER_01]: But I guess if these are all different belts and why is the one called the United?

02:07:34.915 --> 02:07:37.339
[SPEAKER_02]: because the other two belts are the other one combined.

02:07:37.760 --> 02:07:41.527
[SPEAKER_02]: He should have one belt, but he's holding the other two as a period of cloud.

02:07:42.028 --> 02:07:48.159
[SPEAKER_02]: The other two are the common, are representative of the third belt, but I think all, yeah.

02:07:49.353 --> 02:07:52.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Collins says, hello, bring NATO, Osprey, Okada, and Jay White back.

02:07:53.174 --> 02:07:56.275
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, all the stops is what I'm saying.

02:07:56.315 --> 02:07:58.136
[SPEAKER_01]: And bring back the Japanese stars, certainly.

02:07:58.376 --> 02:08:02.237
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like if you can bring back the Japanese start your on TV, you need to sell tickets.

02:08:02.997 --> 02:08:04.638
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, this is one's important.

02:08:04.698 --> 02:08:05.498
[SPEAKER_01]: They're all important.

02:08:05.598 --> 02:08:07.519
[SPEAKER_01]: All wrestle kingdoms are important for God's sake.

02:08:07.599 --> 02:08:10.300
[SPEAKER_01]: But this one may be a little more than most.

02:08:10.460 --> 02:08:12.220
[SPEAKER_01]: This company needs to get some momentum going.

02:08:12.280 --> 02:08:12.940
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a chance.

02:08:13.000 --> 02:08:13.501
[SPEAKER_01]: You're right there.

02:08:14.461 --> 02:08:18.062
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to watch the guy and you got to get people interested in some way, shape or form.

02:08:18.662 --> 02:08:27.392
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, yes, if that's ever during your go full heel, can he be the bad guy and go to Fuji, challenge him and wrestling kingdom?

02:08:28.113 --> 02:08:32.879
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I'm not, like, I'm not, but we're looking out on fire of that.

02:08:34.753 --> 02:08:36.854
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, well, let's get to some comments here as we look at this.

02:08:36.914 --> 02:08:43.197
[SPEAKER_01]: So Flemingshark says Zach and Suji was the obvious final last year, and they went, well, that I think they went with Shingo there.

02:08:43.237 --> 02:08:47.520
[SPEAKER_01]: But to catch the versus Suji is the obvious final this year, it'll be interesting to see if we get it.

02:08:47.540 --> 02:08:53.543
[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes I worry that it was a little too obvious as well, but I just feel like you could really do it.

02:08:53.623 --> 02:08:55.223
[SPEAKER_01]: And it would be a good choice and a hell of a match.

02:08:56.024 --> 02:08:58.325
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam says she has Suji at the winner as well.

02:08:58.525 --> 02:09:03.027
[SPEAKER_01]: To catch the from Flemingshark, to catch this a bit of a combo of Obushi and Okada to me.

02:09:03.147 --> 02:09:03.948
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an interesting point.

02:09:04.568 --> 02:09:07.511
[SPEAKER_01]: But whatever it is, it's, whatever he is, it's fantastic.

02:09:08.352 --> 02:09:10.274
[SPEAKER_01]: Another one of those guys is just bigger than he looked.

02:09:10.815 --> 02:09:16.521
[SPEAKER_01]: By coincidence, I stayed in the same hotel as to catch the, for a restful kingdom weekend.

02:09:17.102 --> 02:09:23.628
[SPEAKER_01]: And, can't say it was about as big as I thought he was in certainly in phenomenal shape and things, which makes me wonder, because he's,

02:09:24.349 --> 02:09:27.872
[SPEAKER_01]: He was in even more phenomenal shape when he was younger and like what did that look like?

02:09:27.912 --> 02:09:33.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Because he looked like he was a pretty damn good shape and I got a chance to talk to him in the hotel lobby there and just named drop that.

02:09:33.276 --> 02:09:38.500
[SPEAKER_01]: But I also sought to catch the walking out and do this big is really big.

02:09:38.841 --> 02:09:39.921
[SPEAKER_01]: It just surprised me.

02:09:40.302 --> 02:09:43.684
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm six feet, two hundred, twenty pounds and I felt small next to to catch the.

02:09:44.085 --> 02:09:45.626
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't feel small in Japan very often.

02:09:45.826 --> 02:09:49.069
[SPEAKER_01]: My point I go crash TV said Tony County would disagree.

02:09:49.109 --> 02:09:51.731
[SPEAKER_01]: He's leaving the according to most recent sound bites.

02:09:51.771 --> 02:09:52.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Tony says a lot of things.

02:09:54.057 --> 02:09:55.345
[SPEAKER_01]: And still think he's more free.

02:09:57.198 --> 02:09:58.779
[SPEAKER_01]: Tony says a lot of words.

02:09:59.859 --> 02:10:03.481
[SPEAKER_01]: Brad says fantasy pick was sushi over to Keshta but when I did my picks, this is interesting.

02:10:03.762 --> 02:10:10.965
[SPEAKER_01]: I just picked each day's matches without looking at the points and it made it much more interesting and how things lined up for my picks and Sam did the same thing.

02:10:11.145 --> 02:10:15.388
[SPEAKER_01]: So they just went through day by day and whoever came out on top.

02:10:16.128 --> 02:10:22.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I had an idea of what my final I had no idea what my final round would look like until I got there.

02:10:22.311 --> 02:10:23.012
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's interesting.

02:10:23.452 --> 02:10:27.155
[SPEAKER_01]: So I will, I ran into up a family versus OE one the final.

02:10:28.016 --> 02:10:29.757
[SPEAKER_02]: I said I would share my notes.

02:10:30.097 --> 02:10:32.659
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm just going to go ahead and put these up for everybody.

02:10:32.679 --> 02:10:36.743
[SPEAKER_02]: There is my sport of progress.

02:10:36.783 --> 02:10:40.366
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's take that comment down so people can see it really quick.

02:10:41.547 --> 02:10:41.847
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

02:10:43.088 --> 02:10:45.329
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, so I'll just have that up there for a second.

02:10:45.389 --> 02:10:48.049
[SPEAKER_02]: People can kind of see what I did there, whatever.

02:10:48.069 --> 02:10:49.309
[SPEAKER_02]: You want it for a bit?

02:10:49.549 --> 02:10:53.410
[SPEAKER_02]: You feel like that's a good way out, family, evil food.

02:10:53.430 --> 02:10:54.450
[SPEAKER_02]: She at the top there.

02:10:54.470 --> 02:10:58.291
[SPEAKER_02]: That's Abraham, your Takeshiden, Umino, and the B-block.

02:10:58.311 --> 02:11:00.031
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, maybe like ten seconds.

02:11:00.051 --> 02:11:03.052
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys can pause on YouTube later on and get back to that.

02:11:03.072 --> 02:11:04.092
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

02:11:05.052 --> 02:11:07.433
[SPEAKER_01]: Sharks does the uncertainty of things going on as exciting.

02:11:09.173 --> 02:11:15.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Crafts that he's not sold on sushi is a WGP champ that winning smile and interstellar dental work doesn't work on me.

02:11:17.339 --> 02:11:18.860
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not falling for it by Cranky.

02:11:18.920 --> 02:11:19.341
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand.

02:11:19.761 --> 02:11:27.407
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's also some discussion in here about the three belts thing is fun because Don Callis can drink himself and go and walk around.

02:11:27.707 --> 02:11:29.008
[SPEAKER_01]: Callis is, you know, we're

02:11:30.345 --> 02:11:32.146
[SPEAKER_01]: Calis is really, really good as a manager.

02:11:32.186 --> 02:11:39.370
[SPEAKER_01]: And he always has, like, going way back, he was, even when he wrestled, like he would, he would be on WWE.

02:11:39.430 --> 02:11:44.732
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was who, what was it like the truth commission, and all that kind of whack-a-do stuff he was doing.

02:11:45.313 --> 02:11:48.594
[SPEAKER_01]: And whenever he would talk, you just think, I guess, it's really, really good.

02:11:48.675 --> 02:11:53.477
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you can put him in a position to be obnoxious, go ahead and do it, because Calis can deliver.

02:11:56.335 --> 02:11:56.616
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

02:11:57.277 --> 02:11:59.661
[SPEAKER_01]: Schinger only made semi finals last year in Zach and Sue's.

02:11:59.681 --> 02:12:00.342
[SPEAKER_01]: She was the final.

02:12:00.442 --> 02:12:01.183
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

02:12:01.203 --> 02:12:02.245
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's great.

02:12:02.265 --> 02:12:02.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Great.

02:12:02.526 --> 02:12:02.986
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess so.

02:12:03.527 --> 02:12:03.808
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

02:12:03.848 --> 02:12:04.208
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably.

02:12:04.228 --> 02:12:05.270
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

02:12:05.410 --> 02:12:05.691
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

02:12:05.751 --> 02:12:09.838
[SPEAKER_02]: So who do you have going in the A first law?

02:12:10.487 --> 02:12:11.908
[SPEAKER_02]: here for for your.

02:12:12.628 --> 02:12:14.749
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a broken down seeds or anything like that.

02:12:14.769 --> 02:12:15.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

02:12:15.989 --> 02:12:29.035
[SPEAKER_02]: So the way I have it for myself is that it'll be to cash it out and sue G on the fourteen for B to an eighth or three to say David Finley.

02:12:30.176 --> 02:12:37.199
[SPEAKER_02]: And from there, I have Yoda Suji beating to cash it up and then beating David Finley to make it out of that side.

02:12:38.398 --> 02:12:41.580
[SPEAKER_02]: The other one is when it gets interesting.

02:12:41.720 --> 02:12:44.561
[SPEAKER_02]: The A to would be evil.

02:12:45.702 --> 02:12:48.223
[SPEAKER_02]: And that would be, again, show to Umano.

02:12:49.264 --> 02:12:50.984
[SPEAKER_02]: And evil would be show to Umano.

02:12:53.045 --> 02:12:55.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Evil would then go on to fake that paper junior.

02:12:56.687 --> 02:12:59.728
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can toss this up however you like, running back.

02:12:59.768 --> 02:13:02.388
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it, Virginia and go to Suji again if you wanted to.

02:13:02.988 --> 02:13:13.131
[SPEAKER_02]: But I have a feeling it's going to be evil versus that Saber Jr to run back the match at the beginning that you know to Suji lost to evil at the beginning of the tournament.

02:13:13.911 --> 02:13:22.513
[SPEAKER_02]: And then evil loses and then challenges that Saber Jr at some point as the last of the three potential title challenges.

02:13:23.334 --> 02:13:25.778
[SPEAKER_02]: You can avoid that Saber Jr.

02:13:25.918 --> 02:13:27.641
[SPEAKER_02]: and Yoda Suji for the title that way.

02:13:27.721 --> 02:13:32.509
[SPEAKER_02]: If you wanted to do that restful kingdom or you could have

02:13:34.102 --> 02:13:45.485
[SPEAKER_02]: any sort of scenario in which evil challenges and then you go to foodie challenges and then you get to night of scenario or somehow evil God forbid and put the title by challenging that Saber Jr.

02:13:45.505 --> 02:13:51.487
[SPEAKER_02]: and October winning it and then it becomes evil versus Yoda Suji in the semi-main and wrestling kingdom.

02:13:52.127 --> 02:13:54.608
[SPEAKER_02]: All of those seem incredibly incredibly viable to me.

02:13:57.060 --> 02:13:57.320
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.

02:13:57.340 --> 02:13:58.420
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.

02:13:58.460 --> 02:13:58.821
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.

02:13:58.841 --> 02:14:01.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm just looking back on the G one from last year.

02:14:01.762 --> 02:14:03.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's active feed of the odysusji in the finals.

02:14:03.662 --> 02:14:03.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

02:14:03.902 --> 02:14:04.462
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a backwards.

02:14:04.963 --> 02:14:06.303
[SPEAKER_01]: He defeated Schingo in the semis.

02:14:06.363 --> 02:14:09.984
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess that's the match I was thinking of with Zach beating Schingo.

02:14:10.084 --> 02:14:10.664
[SPEAKER_01]: It did happen.

02:14:10.784 --> 02:14:11.805
[SPEAKER_01]: It just happened in the semis.

02:14:11.885 --> 02:14:15.146
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the family lost to Suji in the semis.

02:14:15.166 --> 02:14:16.366
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was winning a whole thing.

02:14:16.386 --> 02:14:19.207
[SPEAKER_02]: I just can't really be Yoda versus that type of junior again.

02:14:19.367 --> 02:14:21.088
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like it just feels

02:14:22.995 --> 02:14:27.812
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't feel like after all of that and a famous of the term at the last year that you do the same final.

02:14:29.021 --> 02:14:29.861
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, no, yeah.

02:14:30.142 --> 02:14:31.902
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's a really similar tournament.

02:14:31.922 --> 02:14:39.266
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's, you can fall into that trap as a fantasy booker sometimes to just think, well, it feels that way.

02:14:39.326 --> 02:14:42.427
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you realize that, you know, you do have to take into account last year.

02:14:42.607 --> 02:14:46.169
[SPEAKER_01]: And that, that would be the case where Ruzak and Suji.

02:14:46.209 --> 02:14:46.909
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree.

02:14:46.929 --> 02:14:51.631
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to talk with you to through Gene David's family and go to Suji and kind of get to cash it out.

02:14:51.711 --> 02:14:53.272
[SPEAKER_02]: Quarter finals to cash it out to Suji.

02:14:53.732 --> 02:14:59.665
[SPEAKER_01]: But to cash to cash to cash to making this to making post block play last year.

02:14:59.685 --> 02:15:01.930
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and he lost a sugy.

02:15:02.050 --> 02:15:04.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and so now it's to cash to and sugy.

02:15:04.883 --> 02:15:10.085
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, yeah, yeah, I still think that sushi, sushi losing in the finals and then winning it.

02:15:10.605 --> 02:15:11.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they could absolutely do that.

02:15:12.125 --> 02:15:21.469
[SPEAKER_02]: It will still be the rubber match because they had to catch it a beat, Fuji last year in block play, lost to Fuji in the post block play.

02:15:21.769 --> 02:15:24.930
[SPEAKER_02]: And now this one can be qualified as the rubber match.

02:15:24.950 --> 02:15:26.990
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they're one and one with each other.

02:15:27.431 --> 02:15:30.992
[SPEAKER_02]: And then going into it with about four or five days, you can really sell the

02:15:31.792 --> 02:15:35.676
[SPEAKER_02]: These guys are one and one who knows who's going to win this one.

02:15:35.717 --> 02:15:40.582
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a bad match to build up as a future rivalry for the ages.

02:15:40.762 --> 02:15:40.942
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

02:15:41.203 --> 02:15:42.164
[SPEAKER_01]: There's your aim to catch them.

02:15:42.664 --> 02:15:50.233
[SPEAKER_01]: But both with the size, you know, really, I'm a relative to Japan, you know, and then people want to show the umino on the other side just feels like

02:15:51.381 --> 02:16:01.430
[SPEAKER_02]: You, you, you, you, you show to humano you get him if that hauntie guy and then evil like, dastrictly cost him like the opportunity to go forward to the G one.

02:16:01.871 --> 02:16:02.391
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

02:16:02.451 --> 02:16:03.372
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just it's all there.

02:16:04.270 --> 02:16:06.230
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's take a look now that we've done that.

02:16:06.370 --> 02:16:11.871
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to take a look at what we are going to see before we reconvene next Thursday.

02:16:11.951 --> 02:16:24.714
[SPEAKER_01]: So G-one climax kicks off Saturday in Hakido, Seporo, two nights in the same building there that building in the middle of us, Seporo, and that will be showed at Umenovers' ELP.

02:16:24.734 --> 02:16:25.514
[SPEAKER_01]: And the key matches.

02:16:26.054 --> 02:16:29.975
[SPEAKER_01]: These are all block matches, no preview tags, so each night, ten singles matches.

02:16:30.835 --> 02:16:39.137
[SPEAKER_01]: The key one, Saturday and Hokkaido, showed a versus El Fantasma, Kid versus Tequesta, Sonata versus Suji, Zach Saber Jr.

02:16:39.177 --> 02:16:42.077
[SPEAKER_01]: versus Narita, Tanahashi versus Taiichi.

02:16:42.237 --> 02:16:47.098
[SPEAKER_01]: So some of the matches for the big contenders there, Sunday, again, same building.

02:16:48.158 --> 02:16:54.599
[SPEAKER_01]: El Fantasma and Tequesta, Taiichi versus Uemora, and a just four guys, Darby, and Zach Saber Jr.

02:16:54.639 --> 02:16:57.260
[SPEAKER_01]: versus Gabe Kid, that one's happening in Hokkaido.

02:16:57.840 --> 02:17:05.902
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we head back to the Huntshu Island on Tuesday, July, twenty second, Sendai, the Sun Plaza.

02:17:06.362 --> 02:17:17.864
[SPEAKER_01]: That will be preview tags for the B-block, key matches for the A-block, evil versus Sonata, Taiichi versus David Finlay, and you yet owe more of versus Yoda Suji.

02:17:17.944 --> 02:17:20.304
[SPEAKER_01]: So that rivalry comes back in.

02:17:20.565 --> 02:17:22.365
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, then we have the HOT Darby,

02:17:23.271 --> 02:17:24.752
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're more of a surgery.

02:17:24.812 --> 02:17:27.513
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, we have the sun in the moon, only one can shine at a time.

02:17:27.773 --> 02:17:29.373
[SPEAKER_01]: It's IHE versus Finland.

02:17:29.793 --> 02:17:40.277
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we wrap up the week for us, as far as we're concerned, Wednesday, July, twenty-third, that is in Niigata, B-block action, A-block and preview tax, showed a versus Zack Saber Jr.

02:17:40.417 --> 02:17:43.018
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep an eye, and Shingo versus Gabe Kid.

02:17:43.459 --> 02:17:47.360
[SPEAKER_01]: They've had some terrific matches, so that's what's coming up in the Niigata.

02:17:47.440 --> 02:17:52.402
[SPEAKER_01]: So we will be back next week, and by then, everyone will have had three tournament matches.

02:17:52.882 --> 02:17:59.685
[SPEAKER_01]: One in Hokkaido, and one back on Hanshu, either on Sendai or Nigada, that we can talk about and see how it works.

02:18:00.486 --> 02:18:08.049
[SPEAKER_02]: I look at G-One in three, so like the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg.

02:18:08.850 --> 02:18:10.951
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to be done with the first leg, next week.

02:18:11.875 --> 02:18:12.315
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.

02:18:12.996 --> 02:18:15.178
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, she's one I mentioned.

02:18:15.358 --> 02:18:17.260
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't forget, power bombshells, Sunday.

02:18:17.400 --> 02:18:19.361
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to be talking about a lot of this as well.

02:18:19.442 --> 02:18:22.945
[SPEAKER_01]: And everything that has to do with wrestling always a terrific show.

02:18:23.005 --> 02:18:25.266
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam, we're really happy that you were joining us here.

02:18:25.627 --> 02:18:33.293
[SPEAKER_01]: Scott E. Wrestling, my goodness, my man, you want to talk to somebody who's going to be even busier than we are, Jeremy, because he covers all of Josie wrestling.

02:18:33.333 --> 02:18:35.495
[SPEAKER_01]: The five star Grand Prix is coming up for startup.

02:18:36.216 --> 02:18:37.317
[SPEAKER_01]: Great stuff going on there.

02:18:37.337 --> 02:18:40.520
[SPEAKER_01]: The big show coming up is what the twenty-fourth and twenty-eight.

02:18:41.320 --> 02:19:08.762
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... that's a boy in uh... say a comatonie we just had uh... the double knockout between utami and uh... real high in uh... marigold and they are doing the the dream star ground pre which has uh... really interesting uh... a couple of blocks there i think that'll be fun to watch sixteen wrestlers in that one so uh... scats eyes are gonna be bleeding to from uh... staying up all night and what did i think of utami versus the kumi uh... uh... i thought it was great

02:19:09.462 --> 02:19:09.902
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.

02:19:10.123 --> 02:19:22.171
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was an interesting thing to do because going fifty six minutes with a double knockout finish, kind of stunned everybody a little bit because once the forty five minutes.

02:19:22.471 --> 02:19:24.672
[SPEAKER_01]: So they don't do sixty minute matches in the first place.

02:19:24.712 --> 02:19:25.913
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a special stipulation.

02:19:26.233 --> 02:19:28.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Thirty minute time limits normally for the title matches.

02:19:29.235 --> 02:19:30.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Special stipulation of sixty minutes.

02:19:30.916 --> 02:19:32.718
[SPEAKER_01]: They go forty five, right?

02:19:33.118 --> 02:19:35.620
[SPEAKER_01]: And so everyone starts to think, oh, they're doing the one hour draw.

02:19:36.220 --> 02:19:37.281
[SPEAKER_01]: Then it gets to fifty minutes.

02:19:37.341 --> 02:19:38.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, they're doing the one hour draw.

02:19:38.962 --> 02:19:39.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Fifty five minutes.

02:19:39.722 --> 02:19:41.544
[SPEAKER_01]: They're definitely doing the one hour draw.

02:19:41.944 --> 02:19:44.966
[SPEAKER_01]: And the one minute later, they knocked each other out cold and referee Tommy says.

02:19:46.367 --> 02:19:48.288
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was everybody was looking around like no kidding.

02:19:48.888 --> 02:19:49.208
[SPEAKER_01]: Really.

02:19:49.309 --> 02:19:50.129
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't do the hour.

02:19:50.229 --> 02:19:51.390
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't go all the way.

02:19:51.650 --> 02:19:57.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Reminds a little bit when they did a finish with Kajima and Tenzan when they were front of me and they restlessly.

02:19:57.553 --> 02:19:59.815
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they did like fifty eight minutes and had a finish.

02:20:00.315 --> 02:20:01.495
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even remember which guy one.

02:20:01.796 --> 02:20:03.677
[SPEAKER_01]: But everyone was absolutely positive.

02:20:03.737 --> 02:20:08.199
[SPEAKER_01]: It was going to the one hour draw and then they had a finish in the fifty eight minutes or something.

02:20:08.219 --> 02:20:10.720
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a stunned everybody in the building.

02:20:11.821 --> 02:20:13.182
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was an interesting finish.

02:20:13.202 --> 02:20:14.783
[SPEAKER_01]: And undoubtedly that one will be

02:20:15.463 --> 02:20:17.464
[SPEAKER_01]: rolling back because it's title versus title.

02:20:17.784 --> 02:20:20.325
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Roja had the GHC title, she's got a bunch of them.

02:20:20.345 --> 02:20:26.228
[SPEAKER_01]: The one that was on the line was the GHC title, the Noah women's championship, who taught me with the red belt for uh, Marty Gold.

02:20:26.849 --> 02:20:40.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, they'll have to run that one back on a bigger show down the line, something, uh, something more arena-ish, uh, or older ward gymnasium-ish, and for Marty Gold, uh, I would say that's a little bit bigger than a marvelous show could carry, I think, uh, the rematch there.

02:20:40.655 --> 02:20:41.596
[SPEAKER_01]: So they'll be doing it again.

02:20:41.876 --> 02:20:43.277
[SPEAKER_01]: It was Trevor match though, under watch.

02:20:44.237 --> 02:20:49.281
[SPEAKER_02]: We, um, we gave almost a bonus hour of content for people here on the June preview.

02:20:49.581 --> 02:20:52.543
[SPEAKER_02]: However, I think my wife might kill me if I don't get off this hour.

02:20:52.563 --> 02:20:52.903
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

02:20:53.143 --> 02:20:53.483
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, right.

02:20:53.904 --> 02:20:55.925
[SPEAKER_01]: But pay attention to the five star Josie show.

02:20:55.965 --> 02:20:58.267
[SPEAKER_01]: That's on the fight game podcast network.

02:20:58.287 --> 02:21:01.989
[SPEAKER_01]: Scott's going to tell you everything you need to know to keep up with the all of Josie wrestling.

02:21:03.430 --> 02:21:09.552
[SPEAKER_01]: For that matter, and of course, power bombshells with important discussions about pro wrestling all the way through every Sunday.

02:21:09.832 --> 02:21:10.352
[SPEAKER_01]: That is it.

02:21:10.572 --> 02:21:11.653
[SPEAKER_01]: What one PM Eastern, right?

02:21:11.673 --> 02:21:12.093
[SPEAKER_01]: It's noon.

02:21:12.373 --> 02:21:14.634
[SPEAKER_01]: My time here in Texas don't forget about that.
