WEBVTT

00:10.328 --> 00:20.355
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello everyone and welcome to the very special Dream Star Grand Prix, twenty twenty five preview here on the YouTube channel

00:21.835 --> 00:38.666
[SPEAKER_00]: I am your host, as always, Scott E. And we were breaking down Mario's signature tournament of the year, the second annual, Dream Stock, Grand Prix, and I am joined by my good friend Trent to dive back into this tournament.

00:39.126 --> 00:40.727
[SPEAKER_00]: Trent, welcome back to the channel.

00:41.107 --> 00:44.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to being alongside me for another tournament preview.

00:45.670 --> 00:48.132
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's been a long time since you've covered current.

00:49.042 --> 00:53.163
[SPEAKER_00]: pro wrestling so it's pretty cool to have you back for this very special preview.

00:54.424 --> 01:05.167
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's been a while I've been on this show or the general kind of show for your channel once in like the past year covering to Kimmy versus my which happened back in twenty twenty.

01:05.447 --> 01:11.549
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you was a weed talking about like actual current grappling obviously I've still been writhing about it here and there but like

01:12.069 --> 01:16.271
[SPEAKER_01]: That's very different from just talking and chatting and all that kind of stuff.

01:16.331 --> 01:17.392
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of fun.

01:17.472 --> 01:20.994
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking forward to doing it again because this is something we used to do every year.

01:21.054 --> 01:22.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously not from my or go.

01:22.975 --> 01:28.518
[SPEAKER_01]: You're looking at yellow and gold and colors, but some of the names are pretty familiar.

01:30.056 --> 01:30.556
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

01:30.717 --> 01:31.177
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

01:31.237 --> 01:45.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, a very new place to dive in for anyone that's listening to this is kind of a follow up to the beginner's guide to Margo that I released about a week or two ago now here.

01:45.813 --> 01:49.738
[SPEAKER_00]: This will give you some more insight on each wrestler that it's in the tournament.

01:50.058 --> 01:57.825
[SPEAKER_00]: will be breaking down and wrestler by wrestler for the sixteen wrestler to block format that the dream star goes under.

01:58.646 --> 02:05.813
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely if you haven't check out the beginners guide, if you want to learn more about the promotion as a whole, I think they'll help you a lot heading into this tournament as well.

02:06.173 --> 02:08.776
[SPEAKER_00]: I know for a lot of people, this is kind of a jump in point.

02:09.236 --> 02:22.742
[SPEAKER_00]: for many that may be have watched Margo gain some steam over the past couple months, especially once my Uitani joined, of course, and I talk Hashi's retirement tour, and so on and so forth.

02:22.782 --> 02:32.087
[SPEAKER_00]: They really are on a nice rise right now, and I think this dream star Grand Prix has a really great chance to be a special tournament this year.

02:32.807 --> 02:36.588
[SPEAKER_00]: But before we get to all that, let's do a few more plugs here.

02:37.228 --> 02:54.951
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're interested in the world, wondering this past Monday, so a week ago, I did a check it out for a side company versus Nazi boy from star and support Ron Devo, twenty twenty five, which included my thoughts on maybe the future of the world of star championship as a whole.

02:55.531 --> 02:59.072
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are for some reason behind and not

02:59.492 --> 03:01.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Locked in on the five-star Grand Prix it.

03:01.354 --> 03:04.217
[SPEAKER_00]: You can still check out the preview on the YouTube channel as well.

03:04.577 --> 03:08.221
[SPEAKER_00]: That is always available to be checked out of course.

03:09.362 --> 03:18.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're back on the five-star Grand Prix daily reviews this past Sunday was the very first the sixteen match.

03:20.316 --> 03:22.477
[SPEAKER_00]: card was covered from start to finish.

03:22.517 --> 03:23.718
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just day one.

03:23.998 --> 03:25.739
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be doing this for both startups.

03:26.519 --> 03:32.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Five star grand prix and of course the dream star grand prix, which we are previewing here today.

03:32.322 --> 03:33.783
[SPEAKER_00]: So make sure you check all that out.

03:34.183 --> 03:37.545
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are subscribed to the channel, I can't explain enough.

03:37.745 --> 03:39.786
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the best time to

03:41.947 --> 03:44.329
[SPEAKER_00]: follow Joe she's the best time to follow the channel.

03:44.409 --> 03:46.730
[SPEAKER_00]: I am doing content way too much.

03:47.471 --> 03:49.692
[SPEAKER_00]: I can admit that, but I'm happy to do it.

03:49.732 --> 03:51.974
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy to break down each and every turn.

03:52.014 --> 03:58.738
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very excited to get to do that for the dream star here coming soon, but before we get into the blocks and everything.

03:59.779 --> 04:10.487
[SPEAKER_00]: I do want to ask you Trent, obviously, like you said, you've kind of been out of wrestling in now back into wrestling, and Marigold has been part of your viewing experience.

04:10.907 --> 04:15.390
[SPEAKER_00]: How have you enjoyed kind of diving back into this over the past couple months?

04:16.131 --> 04:22.135
[SPEAKER_00]: And what has your overall excitement level out of ten for the Dream Star Grand Prix?

04:23.392 --> 04:24.713
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a bit of a long experience.

04:24.773 --> 04:32.258
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of had to step away for a bit and rehabilitate my passion for wrestling and just kind of get away from social media as a whole.

04:32.318 --> 04:34.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, I'm not really back into that aspect of it.

04:34.720 --> 04:37.622
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm kind of enjoying, not being back in that regard.

04:37.662 --> 04:40.704
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm enjoying enjoying wrestling again, really.

04:40.724 --> 04:44.747
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I read not of the juices for wrestling with Choco Pro, which

04:45.047 --> 05:04.040
[SPEAKER_01]: probably doesn't surprise a lot of people who know my kind of sort of restaurant fandom and getting back into Mara Gold especially, you know, sort of, was excited for when that started and didn't really get to follow as it found its theme again, but now that it's kind of kicking into its proper groove, seeing the wrestlers that I saw

05:05.025 --> 05:05.965
[SPEAKER_01]: first entering.

05:06.485 --> 05:10.086
[SPEAKER_01]: Just in this year, you're in a half that they've really started to find their feet.

05:10.106 --> 05:24.130
[SPEAKER_01]: You can see just the progression of a lot of these wrestlers have made and seeing a lot of the rookies from twenty twenty five, especially it's a really exciting period to be following Marga and I feel like coming into tournament season.

05:24.150 --> 05:33.433
[SPEAKER_01]: This is when you kind of not make or break because obviously it's not that kind of situation, but this is where you separate the wrestlers that

05:34.080 --> 05:50.617
[SPEAKER_01]: will be handy to have from the true people who are going to lead this company into great and great heights when you sort of find out these are people that I'm going to put my fandom truly behind who you expect to see be champions in the future who are going to be yeah

05:51.921 --> 05:57.926
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to have to line up for five, ten, fifteen, twenty minutes, just to get an autograph from me for in Japan.

05:58.827 --> 06:09.296
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the best time here, as you said, for Josie wrestling, but especially when you get into a promotion, you find your favorite, you find who's stepping up.

06:09.676 --> 06:14.240
[SPEAKER_01]: So, wrestling wrestlers, it's fantastic, it's exciting.

06:14.960 --> 06:19.184
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Margo, the one promotion, I think I've been able to

06:21.060 --> 06:23.703
[SPEAKER_00]: say that I have followed from day one.

06:23.723 --> 06:30.069
[SPEAKER_00]: So getting to see where we are heading into this dream star as opposed to last year's dream stars very fascinating.

06:30.109 --> 06:36.075
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you've watched the wrestlers grow up in many ways and learn so many ways.

06:36.115 --> 06:40.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you're excited to see what they can do a year with a year of more experience.

06:40.520 --> 06:43.182
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously we've got a lot of new names in the tournament as well this year.

06:44.967 --> 06:49.553
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no better way to know that Trent is back watching wrestling than if he is right.

06:49.913 --> 07:00.006
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want a written guy to help you throughout the Dreamstock Grand Prix, head over to rezzermag.com, try this put together.

07:00.647 --> 07:08.634
[SPEAKER_00]: the most informational written guide for the tournament right now you could go check it out over there.

07:08.654 --> 07:15.019
[SPEAKER_00]: I highly recommend it gives you a little bit of everything on each wrestler gives you their records and so on and so forth.

07:15.319 --> 07:27.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, we'll be doing a lot of that too here today, but this is a good guide to go to each and every weekend when the show's come back around, you know, because this is mostly a weekend tournament that I don't have many weekday shows.

07:27.809 --> 07:29.551
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that will help a lot of people as well.

07:30.091 --> 07:30.892
[SPEAKER_00]: along the way.

07:31.012 --> 07:31.833
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, what's going on?

07:31.853 --> 07:33.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me go check out the guide.

07:33.275 --> 07:34.737
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely check that out.

07:34.777 --> 07:39.702
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll make sure to I'll have the exact you are out later in the show.

07:39.903 --> 07:43.187
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think we've done enough of the opening talk.

07:43.347 --> 07:44.028
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say this.

07:45.613 --> 07:56.484
[SPEAKER_00]: on an excitement level, I am very excited because I think what a lot of people are going to see in this tournament is growth.

07:56.504 --> 08:03.410
[SPEAKER_00]: It is in some ways coming out parties for certain wrestlers on a more scene scale.

08:03.450 --> 08:08.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, if you follow Margo on the day-to-day like myself, like Trent, like others that I know will listen to this,

08:09.836 --> 08:13.480
[SPEAKER_00]: You're kind of aware of who's been doing that over the past couple months.

08:14.240 --> 08:17.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Really for a lot of twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty five.

08:17.583 --> 08:21.927
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a great year for a lot of people, but now that we head into the tournament, it's like the ultimate.

08:22.428 --> 08:23.469
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, now we're going to see it.

08:24.130 --> 08:30.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Elevated, now we're going to see a lot of people elevate their styles and it's going to make for very exciting tournament.

08:30.275 --> 08:31.637
[SPEAKER_00]: So with that.

08:32.832 --> 08:33.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get to it.

08:33.772 --> 08:34.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get to it.

08:34.593 --> 08:37.114
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll break it all down here for all of you.

08:37.174 --> 08:43.076
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that is always obviously the most exciting part for me is breaking down a dress.

08:43.116 --> 08:45.017
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm giving some love to each wrestler.

08:45.057 --> 08:49.458
[SPEAKER_00]: So here are your two leagues on the left side.

08:49.498 --> 08:50.519
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the dream league.

08:50.559 --> 08:53.300
[SPEAKER_00]: That is Tommy has just to the Margo World Champion.

08:53.820 --> 08:56.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Mayu Iwitani in May of Harda, which is the superfly.

08:57.125 --> 09:10.241
[SPEAKER_00]: Chapin, Victoria, Izuki, Kokia, Marae, first-time entry, Seri, Amioka, Chiaki, returns to the turn, Reisetto, and Sankha Kasi, the two wrestlers that had to earn their way.

09:10.862 --> 09:12.242
[SPEAKER_00]: into this year's tournament.

09:12.282 --> 09:13.403
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's worth noting.

09:13.723 --> 09:15.003
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll talk about here in a little bit.

09:15.023 --> 09:18.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, Sanka Katsuki, part of the marvelous roster.

09:19.244 --> 09:21.405
[SPEAKER_00]: On the other side, you have the star league.

09:21.425 --> 09:22.545
[SPEAKER_00]: You have my soccer right.

09:22.565 --> 09:24.005
[SPEAKER_00]: You're United National Champion.

09:24.346 --> 09:25.766
[SPEAKER_00]: You have Miku Aono.

09:26.386 --> 09:27.166
[SPEAKER_00]: You have Marae.

09:27.186 --> 09:29.687
[SPEAKER_00]: She could go to Kazuna Tanaka.

09:30.615 --> 09:36.738
[SPEAKER_00]: Mesa Matsui, Gisun-dozaki, and another outsider in Chan Yota from P.P.

09:37.219 --> 09:37.759
[SPEAKER_00]: Tokyo.

09:38.539 --> 09:38.960
[SPEAKER_00]: P.P.

09:39.000 --> 09:40.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Tokyo, my apologies.

09:42.021 --> 09:48.985
[SPEAKER_00]: So trying to last you, just first initial bots, before we go into the rest of the on the leagues themselves.

09:49.325 --> 09:52.187
[SPEAKER_00]: How do you see these in terms of how they were made up?

09:52.927 --> 09:55.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I think there's obviously kind of themes to each of them.

09:56.489 --> 09:59.751
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see kind of how you felt about them now that we're here looking at.

10:01.077 --> 10:06.978
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fascinating how both leagues kind of represent similar concepts, inversely different ways.

10:06.998 --> 10:23.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the dream league, you've got basically young Marigold barring one or two races obviously, could soon attack his hang-in with Sally, but for most part, the core of young Marigold are thrust together, basically in like a pit and said, let's see who is truly the best.

10:23.722 --> 10:26.063
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm including Sanker in this because she's kind of

10:26.743 --> 10:31.765
[SPEAKER_01]: And outside it, but I think she's so connected with so many of the shots that she kind of belongs there as well.

10:32.545 --> 10:41.328
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is the best who's going to score the most points, but not just most points, but who is going to prove themselves the most exciting rest of the best wrestler who's going to get the crowd behind them.

10:41.848 --> 10:48.531
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's just sprinkle a dash of the world champion and my attorney, the best wrestler.

10:49.231 --> 10:51.392
[SPEAKER_01]: that is such a fascinating experiment.

10:51.452 --> 10:56.673
[SPEAKER_01]: And then in the Star League, it's not young maragob, but you've got such a stacked midfield.

10:56.713 --> 11:01.615
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got, yeah, basically four wrestlers who are outside of the top three.

11:01.635 --> 11:07.337
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got my saccharomic rhino and my eye who really you would expect to kind of be in the utami, my retuning position.

11:07.777 --> 11:08.957
[SPEAKER_01]: But then you've got four.

11:08.997 --> 11:13.239
[SPEAKER_01]: You could go to Miss Matsuri, Chenyotan, the Gisnsaki.

11:13.739 --> 11:16.620
[SPEAKER_01]: You could put them anywhere in this block.

11:17.564 --> 11:18.785
[SPEAKER_01]: And it would be believable.

11:19.065 --> 11:20.126
[SPEAKER_01]: They could finish up three.

11:20.386 --> 11:20.966
[SPEAKER_01]: I could buy it.

11:21.106 --> 11:25.709
[SPEAKER_01]: They could finish at the bottom of the block and it'd be a little bit surprising, but you could totally buy it.

11:25.809 --> 11:29.311
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a similar fight for positions in that midfield.

11:29.432 --> 11:34.275
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just instead of being young marigold, it's kind of earning that respect a different way.

11:34.355 --> 11:38.998
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's fascinating how it's telling a different story, but through slightly different means.

11:39.962 --> 11:40.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.

11:40.903 --> 11:58.957
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I've been very outspoken on how exciting I find young marigold and obviously what they bring to the table to me, they're the most exciting thing for me as a viewer and wrestling outside of, you know, the goat in the sun God themselves, which are just very different conversations, but putting

12:00.258 --> 12:04.324
[SPEAKER_00]: four of them because like you said, I am counting Sanka in this conversation.

12:04.344 --> 12:11.414
[SPEAKER_00]: All in one block makes for, okay, these matches are all ones you've got to check out because this is going to be, you know,

12:12.828 --> 12:15.049
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not night off in the dream league.

12:15.089 --> 12:18.670
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of young talent here that want to prove themselves.

12:18.730 --> 12:20.030
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's very important.

12:20.310 --> 12:28.932
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you have the likes of a cookie in Chiyaki, two people who I think are very much talked about in circles of, okay, let's see what they have here.

12:28.992 --> 12:32.173
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is for many people they want to see these two.

12:32.833 --> 12:33.354
[SPEAKER_00]: step up.

12:33.594 --> 12:35.636
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're in a great block to do that.

12:35.656 --> 12:38.179
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to have the chance to fight with Tommy and my you.

12:38.219 --> 12:42.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Those two matches alone for each of those two wrestlers should tell you a lot.

12:42.304 --> 12:43.606
[SPEAKER_00]: And I like both of them.

12:43.626 --> 12:44.627
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about both of them.

12:44.867 --> 12:49.512
[SPEAKER_00]: And then in the Star League, that just feels like you're, you know, solid as a rock type.

12:50.033 --> 13:13.458
[SPEAKER_00]: block you know there's just there's no weak points it's just up and down like really solid and you're going to see a lot of wrestlers I think put on some of their best performances they've had since joining this company honestly like that's the excitement I think you I think you said it well this block is full of I don't know how we're going to find the final three in the starly our bottom three

13:14.785 --> 13:23.278
[SPEAKER_00]: because so many of these wrestlers feel like they should be up and you can create stories through however that ends up breaking down, right?

13:23.338 --> 13:23.558
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,

13:25.177 --> 13:44.583
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I don't want to get into wrestler by wrestler Casey, I think that's kind of a lot of our conversation point today, but you look at it go cheeka and she's one of the most fascinating cases in this entire tournament from people that maybe aren't going to win, but their performance is over the past year should maybe push them up to bigger and better places.

13:44.683 --> 13:48.764
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I couldn't be more excited for the way they separated these two quite frankly.

13:48.805 --> 13:49.085
[SPEAKER_00]: I think

13:51.252 --> 14:04.298
[SPEAKER_00]: It makes for a very creative tournament to make for a very in some ways unpredictable because you know you have the dream league and you instantly look at the top two of like okay well this is this is it but you have to remember

14:05.492 --> 14:09.774
[SPEAKER_00]: how parts of these young margo members are pushed, right?

14:10.054 --> 14:29.584
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you look at Siri, I'm a yoga, you look at Victoria Zirkin, they're not just gonna, they're not just gonna lie down, like these two are going to be in the conversation and we'll talk about that more and more and more, but it's as exciting as can be really for a tournament that's mostly all margo, which I think is really important part of this, right?

14:30.305 --> 14:33.466
[SPEAKER_00]: Sankan, Chenyota, Chenyota doesn't feel like an outsider.

14:33.586 --> 14:34.047
[SPEAKER_00]: She's on

14:35.007 --> 14:36.067
[SPEAKER_00]: most of the shows.

14:36.567 --> 14:47.130
[SPEAKER_00]: And Sank has obviously been really locked into this as part of the Great Margo versus Marvel's rivalry, which we'll talk about more when we get to certain wrestlers throughout this tournament.

14:47.290 --> 14:48.970
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm very excited.

14:49.250 --> 14:50.810
[SPEAKER_00]: I think these two leagues are great.

14:51.251 --> 14:56.612
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's only right I think that we start with the dream league to break us down here.

14:56.652 --> 14:57.192
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll give you and

14:58.252 --> 15:04.015
[SPEAKER_00]: For those listening, we'll give you some matches to look out for as well at the end, the three we're most looking forward to overall.

15:04.495 --> 15:09.158
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll also kind of give you maybe some matches to look out for for the competitors themselves, really.

15:09.198 --> 15:14.500
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that can be very different for them and give you dates and stuff.

15:14.520 --> 15:15.701
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll look at the final night.

15:15.721 --> 15:21.944
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get all those good things because this is a full breakdown of what I think will be really, really special tournaments.

15:21.964 --> 15:24.806
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's start with the dream league here.

15:25.906 --> 15:37.072
[SPEAKER_00]: As we said, retirement high-ish to Mayu, Tani, Victoria, Zuki, Koki, Amari, Sariyama, Yoka, Chiyaki, Riaseto, and Marvelous Sanka, Katsuki, Iroa, all your dates and your matchups.

15:37.693 --> 15:42.855
[SPEAKER_00]: This all of these images for the most part come from Margo, so credit to the promotion for that.

15:42.915 --> 15:49.259
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not make any of them, so I'm not taking any credit for that, but very helpful, make my life easier.

15:49.279 --> 15:50.960
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's start off with none other.

15:51.560 --> 15:54.241
[SPEAKER_00]: then Marvel's his own Sankha Katsuki.

15:55.161 --> 16:00.023
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, many people are very excited for Sankha's inclusion into this tournament.

16:00.063 --> 16:08.547
[SPEAKER_00]: She has been making waves within Marvelous and even in the US when she took on Isaac Hong over WrestleMania week.

16:10.427 --> 16:11.428
[SPEAKER_00]: She is, you know,

16:12.708 --> 16:21.573
[SPEAKER_00]: As someone set on one of the videos that I had done, in many ways, the original super rookie of this recent super rookie push, right?

16:21.613 --> 16:26.016
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a lot of super rookies all of a sudden in Joshee, which is really, really cool.

16:26.476 --> 16:30.138
[SPEAKER_00]: And Sankha has been really that since day one for Marvel.

16:30.178 --> 16:32.640
[SPEAKER_00]: She brings an old school feel with her style.

16:33.340 --> 16:35.943
[SPEAKER_00]: She obviously shows her love for the marvelous style.

16:36.263 --> 16:39.406
[SPEAKER_00]: She gives in the guy of style and so much of that.

16:39.526 --> 16:48.315
[SPEAKER_00]: If you've been watching Sankha Katsuki, especially in a Margo during you have seen her have some of her greatest moments already in her first year.

16:48.735 --> 16:52.238
[SPEAKER_00]: She has yet to reach one year as a wrestler.

16:52.258 --> 16:53.400
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's very important.

16:53.920 --> 16:56.202
[SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't reach that till this tournament is

16:57.103 --> 16:59.225
[SPEAKER_00]: just about over if I'm not mistaken.

16:59.265 --> 17:02.908
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's like right around that time that she debuted in summary a year ago.

17:03.889 --> 17:06.771
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's pretty it's pretty awesome that she is in this tournament.

17:06.811 --> 17:13.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously she was one of the two to earn her way in winning one of the gauntlets, which was obviously a very big deal as well.

17:13.977 --> 17:20.422
[SPEAKER_00]: She had entered herself into that gauntlet and she obviously took the shot and earned her way in.

17:21.983 --> 17:22.884
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very excited for think.

17:22.904 --> 17:24.485
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I need to.

17:27.367 --> 17:27.927
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell you that.

17:28.288 --> 17:31.870
[SPEAKER_00]: How much excitement I have for Sankha and potential matchups.

17:32.030 --> 17:49.503
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, there's one major matchup that I think if you've been falling marigold, jumps off the page for her and it's her second to final match against Sariyama Yoka, those two have been creating what I think and I have explained as a generational rivalry in the making.

17:50.264 --> 17:51.565
[SPEAKER_00]: But Trent, I know that

17:52.807 --> 17:54.708
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you're kind of jumping in here.

17:54.848 --> 18:01.132
[SPEAKER_00]: You're falling marigold, but you've also been able to witness Sankha here in her first year through a number of matches.

18:01.172 --> 18:03.333
[SPEAKER_00]: What are your thoughts on Sankha Akatsuki?

18:04.718 --> 18:08.542
[SPEAKER_01]: She's such an unassuming, looking wrestler when you first see her like you.

18:08.942 --> 18:14.127
[SPEAKER_01]: When you hear her there's this rookie coming out of marvellous, you sort of really hyped up and you see her coming across you.

18:14.187 --> 18:18.371
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't initially think that this is the person that everyone's hyping up.

18:18.972 --> 18:22.615
[SPEAKER_01]: But from the moment the bell rings, the way she approaches wrestling

18:23.876 --> 18:34.278
[SPEAKER_01]: is such a throwback and it's so refreshing in an era of trying to be a little bit flashy, trying to do the fancy kind of moves.

18:35.379 --> 18:39.660
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess even like striking kind of wrestling that's kind of more in Vogue these days.

18:40.460 --> 18:45.681
[SPEAKER_01]: She's the old school wrestler, like legitimate wrestling amateur style.

18:46.541 --> 18:49.562
[SPEAKER_01]: She proven how good a legitimate wrestling she is.

18:49.622 --> 18:53.323
[SPEAKER_01]: She can shoot beat you in the ring if she was that way inclined.

18:53.935 --> 18:56.156
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, she knows her role in the wrestling thing.

18:56.176 --> 19:04.120
[SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't try and do stuff that she is incapable of, but what she can do, she's already so efficient and fluent at.

19:04.660 --> 19:12.885
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, just even little things like going for the rapid fire pinfall stuff is something that you didn't really see before she started doing it.

19:12.965 --> 19:17.427
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I feel like so many other rookies and young wrestlers of something she's seen her doing.

19:17.467 --> 19:19.288
[SPEAKER_01]: And so that's smart.

19:19.328 --> 19:20.088
[SPEAKER_01]: That's really cool.

19:20.208 --> 19:23.310
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm seeing more and more wrestlers adopting their kind of move.

19:24.112 --> 19:30.016
[SPEAKER_01]: To someone in her first year already been fluency in that style, speaks to how refreshing a wrestler she is.

19:30.036 --> 19:36.860
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, even ignoring like the press conference, gimmick and antics that she had, of course.

19:37.220 --> 19:44.305
[SPEAKER_01]: What she brings to Marigold, whenever she pops up and even what she brings to marvellous when she wrestles, you know, her home promotion.

19:45.125 --> 19:47.126
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the kind of stuff that you want to see.

19:49.039 --> 20:03.784
[SPEAKER_01]: The beautiful thing with Japan right now in its rookie department is there is something in the water because there are so many rookies who have just come on the scene and we're bringing something different to the stage or they're just bringing something special to the stage.

20:05.005 --> 20:11.352
[SPEAKER_01]: You can pick one of about five or six to eight rookies, where I want to get behind this person.

20:11.432 --> 20:13.894
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you said, that's the best rookie on the scene.

20:14.575 --> 20:17.078
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be hard pressed to really argue against them.

20:17.398 --> 20:19.120
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not just one promotion during it.

20:19.160 --> 20:20.622
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a few different ones doing it.

20:20.682 --> 20:25.327
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you said to me, yeah, Sanca Katsu is the best rookie in Japan right now.

20:26.842 --> 20:28.263
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't really argue with you.

20:28.283 --> 20:34.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I wouldn't be my number one peak, but I'm not going to say you're wrong because look at what you're doing here.

20:35.047 --> 20:36.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Her first match is against the rate.

20:36.528 --> 20:38.889
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't just throw someone to the wolves like that.

20:39.309 --> 20:41.631
[SPEAKER_01]: You get American match against Archie Kong.

20:41.871 --> 20:43.752
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't just throw someone to the wolves like that.

20:44.192 --> 20:51.476
[SPEAKER_01]: You get a rookie spot in a Margo tournament, a Rossier Gala book from our tournament as an outsider.

20:51.997 --> 20:53.898
[SPEAKER_01]: And people are expecting you to have a good run.

20:56.124 --> 20:58.026
[SPEAKER_01]: That says a lot about how good you are.

20:58.586 --> 21:03.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Rossi is booking her like a super rookie that he has ownership of.

21:04.011 --> 21:06.313
[SPEAKER_01]: That says an awful lot about how special she is.

21:07.400 --> 21:19.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, she, it's really fascinating, because obviously like the Marvelous style of booking a super rookie, it's not the same as how a Mario's going to book that, right?

21:20.491 --> 21:24.294
[SPEAKER_00]: He loses a good amount in the Marvelous ring, right?

21:24.354 --> 21:27.297
[SPEAKER_00]: That is what she, you know, she has a couple of wins.

21:27.337 --> 21:29.799
[SPEAKER_00]: She's been starting to pile them up now.

21:31.400 --> 21:39.806
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, the way they introduced her into this feud, obviously, as part of marvelous, you know, being the kind of crazy rookie that's ready to fight at all times.

21:40.367 --> 21:48.232
[SPEAKER_00]: And now she has developed a real following for someone who, again, is a rookie, right?

21:48.252 --> 21:48.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's not

21:52.359 --> 22:00.865
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not every day you have a rookie that's not in one of the bigger companies get such a fan of them.

22:01.326 --> 22:02.667
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's how great she is.

22:02.747 --> 22:05.649
[SPEAKER_00]: And her shoot pin style that you were talking about.

22:05.689 --> 22:08.331
[SPEAKER_00]: You're now seeing like someone like a mori do at the moment.

22:08.371 --> 22:10.412
[SPEAKER_00]: She's in the ring with someone like Sankha.

22:10.432 --> 22:13.755
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think you're gonna see a lot of that throughout this tournament.

22:13.835 --> 22:17.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously she has a lot of exciting matches right off the ramp.

22:17.377 --> 22:19.319
[SPEAKER_00]: She has a lot of exciting matches from start to finish.

22:19.419 --> 22:20.860
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think one of the more interesting

22:21.540 --> 22:38.685
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... talking points when it comes to saying uh... is how is she booked through this time does she she's probably going to be still bottom half for sure but she's gonna get some wins like the they're gonna give her wins i think they want to give her wins could ultimately their building her up

22:39.485 --> 22:43.028
[SPEAKER_00]: as the ultimate rival of their super rookie.

22:43.168 --> 22:45.850
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's an important part of this.

22:46.030 --> 22:49.413
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, her opening day, she, her very first match.

22:49.433 --> 22:51.414
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going one-on-one with Mayu Yutani.

22:51.434 --> 22:55.598
[SPEAKER_00]: If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know, I don't know what does.

22:56.218 --> 22:58.320
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll also take on Koki Mara that's the same day.

22:58.540 --> 23:01.762
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a very fascinating one-two punch for her out the gates.

23:02.163 --> 23:05.445
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you look at the September second date and should you do face?

23:05.786 --> 23:08.628
[SPEAKER_00]: That's when her in Suriyamioka finally go one-on-one.

23:09.048 --> 23:12.792
[SPEAKER_00]: that is obviously the big circle on her line up as well.

23:13.612 --> 23:16.835
[SPEAKER_00]: But even her versus utami is very exciting match, right?

23:16.875 --> 23:21.860
[SPEAKER_00]: She's now taking on the world champion that is someone who would to kumi in her corner.

23:21.880 --> 23:28.086
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm wondering if we get to kumi here a few times throughout the tournament maybe to be her corner woman.

23:28.746 --> 23:30.928
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think that'll be a fun aspect as well.

23:31.088 --> 23:33.691
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'm super psyched for Sankha.

23:36.112 --> 23:45.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you know, the who's the best rookie conversation is one that I don't think there's a perfect answer to and I think that's why it's such a fun conversation to have.

23:45.978 --> 23:50.040
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people pick Santa and I'm like you said, I'm not gonna argue with you.

23:50.240 --> 23:51.081
[SPEAKER_00]: She's incredible.

23:51.441 --> 24:02.548
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that we have so many to choose from right now is truly incredible in her old school style that it she is now kind of making new school all of a sudden is a refreshing

24:03.769 --> 24:10.835
[SPEAKER_00]: part of what we're witnessing right now in the scene and in this feud.

24:10.936 --> 24:13.138
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited to see what she does.

24:15.160 --> 24:17.242
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she probably gets like two wins or so.

24:17.402 --> 24:20.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's kind of what I'm marking her for.

24:20.185 --> 24:24.429
[SPEAKER_00]: She beats Chiyaki on the final night and I kind of have a tough time.

24:24.509 --> 24:26.091
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's the Riyamioka match.

24:29.650 --> 24:30.010
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

24:30.291 --> 24:30.571
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

24:30.591 --> 24:34.574
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought for so long in my head, that would be the final night, and then it wasn't.

24:34.694 --> 24:36.155
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, interesting.

24:36.696 --> 24:41.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it kind of comes down to like, okay, if that's not the final night, maybe it goes to a draw.

24:41.540 --> 24:43.741
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we keep telling that story type thing.

24:45.773 --> 24:53.602
[SPEAKER_00]: But I could see her beat a reocetto or get a shock when over, you know, even a cookie on the first day.

24:53.642 --> 24:55.844
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's the beauty of the shoot pin, right?

24:55.984 --> 25:00.509
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like she will just keep going and going and going and shock you at one point.

25:00.529 --> 25:05.575
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think she in some ways might play a spoiler for this block, which I think will be really cool.

25:07.167 --> 25:11.269
[SPEAKER_01]: Her style is perfect for not getting a lot of winds, but ruining someone's block.

25:11.969 --> 25:16.111
[SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't have to beat a lot of people, but that should stop in.

25:16.211 --> 25:21.394
[SPEAKER_01]: It's almost the equivalent of having a signature flash pen in the nature.

25:21.474 --> 25:24.495
[SPEAKER_01]: If you lose to it, it's not an embarrassing loss.

25:24.635 --> 25:29.418
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to beat by a dominant finish or move from a lower tier.

25:29.458 --> 25:35.461
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, yeah, you've got done in, especially in a tournament style where part of the nature is it's a growing schedule.

25:36.381 --> 25:41.865
[SPEAKER_01]: losing a growing schedule to a move that is ultimately a growing where you down pinfold stall.

25:42.506 --> 25:43.487
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's going to happen.

25:43.887 --> 25:46.449
[SPEAKER_01]: The question is who is the rest of it's going to falter?

25:46.649 --> 25:50.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it going to be a bigger name where maybe you look back and go

25:50.845 --> 25:55.949
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was a match that they probably should have won, but they lost there and that's the reason they're out of final contention.

25:57.170 --> 26:00.253
[SPEAKER_01]: It wouldn't surprise me if she has at least one drawer as well.

26:00.293 --> 26:01.594
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe two wins in a drawer.

26:01.994 --> 26:11.903
[SPEAKER_01]: With so many young Marigold wrestlers, you know, I can see they're being a drawer to trading in where they went and they lost to keep everything relatively even amongst them.

26:13.235 --> 26:14.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, absolutely.

26:14.397 --> 26:15.579
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see how that plays out.

26:15.599 --> 26:19.564
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about more about Sankha throughout this preview.

26:19.584 --> 26:21.507
[SPEAKER_00]: But the next wrestler in the dream.

26:21.547 --> 26:28.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Quickly with, oh yes, if you're an ID, her twenty twenty five singles record is two wins, three losses and two draws.

26:29.504 --> 26:31.004
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not that bad for a rookie.

26:31.305 --> 26:31.965
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not that bad.

26:32.345 --> 26:33.325
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's pretty good.

26:33.585 --> 26:46.129
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, and obviously I think a lot of people remember her, uh, very notable win over I hose on earlier this year in marvelous that kind of got, uh, some reaction that was a shoot style match.

26:46.449 --> 26:49.970
[SPEAKER_00]: She shockingly wanted and beat, you know, someone who's a senior to her.

26:50.110 --> 26:51.951
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of what we're talking about here.

26:52.491 --> 26:53.371
[SPEAKER_00]: She can be anyone.

26:54.460 --> 26:58.103
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the beauty of Sankas inclusion, and she can be anyone.

26:58.123 --> 27:00.805
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll lose to a good amount, but she can be anyone.

27:00.845 --> 27:01.845
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there'll be a lot of fun.

27:02.486 --> 27:11.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Our next dream league wrestler is none other than the Black Diamond herself, the newest member of Darkness Revolution, Rhea Setto.

27:12.113 --> 27:15.675
[SPEAKER_00]: Rhea Setto has opened a lot of eyes this year.

27:15.835 --> 27:21.600
[SPEAKER_00]: She's like the first person we could talk about here, especially in the Margo ring that has kind of made people look

27:22.300 --> 27:23.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.

27:23.120 --> 27:23.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.

27:24.601 --> 27:26.061
[SPEAKER_00]: She has found her style.

27:26.142 --> 27:27.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Very technical based.

27:28.202 --> 27:30.043
[SPEAKER_00]: She will destroy your arms.

27:30.083 --> 27:32.064
[SPEAKER_00]: She will destroy your leg along the way.

27:32.984 --> 27:40.547
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, she is going to want to specifically take out one person in this tournament, which will be a lot of fun.

27:40.787 --> 27:52.102
[SPEAKER_00]: But Rioceto, of course, formerly of Sendai girls, made the jump over last year, debuted in Margo at Summer Destiny, twenty twenty four.

27:52.603 --> 27:56.168
[SPEAKER_00]: And now has become a part of the loan faction in

27:57.850 --> 27:58.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Marigold.

27:58.410 --> 28:09.093
[SPEAKER_00]: All you fun to see her now take on the heel roll in this block and I think really set herself apart from the rest of the young Marigold crew.

28:09.153 --> 28:13.174
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what's kind of been the path she's been going down.

28:13.314 --> 28:15.615
[SPEAKER_00]: She's kind of been a little bit different than all of them.

28:16.195 --> 28:23.039
[SPEAKER_00]: in her own way, and at the more she gets an understanding of who she is or the wrestler, the more exciting she gets as a wrestler.

28:23.059 --> 28:41.590
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Rea Setto, someone like I said that's opened a lot of eyes and is going to open some eyes when they check out this term and check out what she can do with the likes of a Mayu, a Victoria Zuki, which is obviously the big match, even a Suriyamioka, that's an exciting match up for those two and that comes on the final night at Cork and Hall.

28:42.663 --> 28:45.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Massive warning signs that being booked on the phone or not as well.

28:47.191 --> 28:50.718
[SPEAKER_01]: That, that, that, if all of a, you know, like, I'd be sort of thinking of crap.

28:51.018 --> 28:52.541
[SPEAKER_01]: The fact that that bookman is.

28:53.724 --> 29:10.337
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that, yeah, she's going to surprise a lot of people because she kind of, if you're coming in tomorrow off at the first time, if she's kind of flown under your radar, it's kind of understandable, but that's kind of the point is to why she's kind of gone on this little bit of a pissed off rampage, why she's gone in darkness revolution.

29:10.657 --> 29:19.344
[SPEAKER_01]: We've so many young Marigold wrestlers stepping up, shining, showcasing, she's felt a little bit left behind, and it's a little bit unjustified as well.

29:19.764 --> 29:22.506
[SPEAKER_01]: because she is a very talented young individual.

29:22.866 --> 29:24.987
[SPEAKER_01]: She brings a different style to a lot of the others.

29:25.627 --> 29:38.155
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no reason why she shouldn't be talked about with Victoria Yuzuki, with Sankar Katzzi, with Kazuna Tanaka, with Saya Yanioka, but it does feel like she'd kind of been left behind in that respect.

29:38.255 --> 29:45.259
[SPEAKER_01]: And joining darkest revolution, getting some backup getting some people to look out for a little bit of a different change of pace.

29:46.059 --> 29:50.761
[SPEAKER_01]: without compromising a lot of what she's about Eva.

29:50.781 --> 29:55.262
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't feel like a big jump for her and what she needs to be.

29:55.703 --> 29:59.564
[SPEAKER_01]: Giving her a little bit of an aggressive personality jump.

29:59.604 --> 30:04.806
[SPEAKER_01]: And we've already seen then some of the tag matches since she changed the alignment.

30:05.386 --> 30:06.806
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is a good move for her.

30:06.987 --> 30:13.649
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it might give her the adjustment she needs to help stand out a little bit more amongst them and keep pace.

30:14.548 --> 30:19.172
[SPEAKER_01]: The question is, yeah, like, what's she going to be doing amongst this block?

30:19.192 --> 30:41.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I do think as talented as she is technically, she will struggle a little bit to keep up with the pure, because, yeah, this block has a lot of heavy hitters, not just in, you know, in theory, but just practicality, like everyone hits harder than her, except for maybe Victoria Yuzuki, has that, yeah, a little bit of extra experience and just willing to throw her body at everything.

30:43.485 --> 30:53.462
[SPEAKER_01]: probably going to struggle to get a lot of points on the board, but joining Dr. Revolution gives a bit of an edge in other ways that wouldn't surprise me, gets a win or two.

30:54.752 --> 30:55.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

30:55.953 --> 31:02.336
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll also be, you know, bottom of the block, of course, but I don't think that's to take away from her.

31:02.356 --> 31:06.758
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't be shocked if she finished ahead of her fellow darkness revolution member Chiyaki.

31:07.238 --> 31:09.719
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they see a bright future in her.

31:09.779 --> 31:17.743
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why she got to join darkness revolution and kind of, you know, again, set herself up to be a little bit different from the others.

31:17.783 --> 31:19.204
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you're saying,

31:20.719 --> 31:25.200
[SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't, she didn't deserve to be overlooked because I think she's very talented.

31:25.640 --> 31:31.942
[SPEAKER_00]: Her match with Victoria Azuki for the super flight championship earlier this year was the first one everyone was like, hold on.

31:33.923 --> 31:38.364
[SPEAKER_00]: She's making some serious strides and she's just grown from that.

31:38.944 --> 31:45.186
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of times you see heel turns happen and they have to completely change who they are.

31:46.826 --> 31:49.387
[SPEAKER_00]: Rhea Sato dresses like a heel.

31:50.452 --> 31:52.093
[SPEAKER_00]: She wrestles like a heel.

31:53.114 --> 32:00.600
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she just kind of gets to be her and her turn, if you watch it unfold, who's the blamer?

32:00.920 --> 32:03.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Victoria Zuki was not very nice to her.

32:03.962 --> 32:05.063
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, all right enough enough.

32:05.583 --> 32:08.266
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's a fascinating story to tell, right?

32:08.586 --> 32:13.890
[SPEAKER_00]: In many ways, she was right for making the turn, but she in that case is the bad guy.

32:14.390 --> 32:18.732
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's going to be an interesting part of her story here, moving forward as well.

32:18.772 --> 32:19.953
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for her tournament.

32:19.973 --> 32:25.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I think her, you know, getting the chance to take on those veterans like a Maya and Tommy for the first time, very exciting.

32:26.256 --> 32:28.537
[SPEAKER_00]: But of course, her young Margo matchups.

32:28.577 --> 32:35.241
[SPEAKER_00]: And even her and Sankha, that's going to be a very old fashioned matchup that I think's going to be really cool and maybe an under the radar match.

32:35.301 --> 32:37.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe not a lot of people are thinking about a long way.

32:38.786 --> 32:50.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's going to basically determine who should have advanced into this tournament in the first place because there was only one spot originally available in the dreams star until a second spot opened up due to injuries.

32:50.608 --> 32:55.989
[SPEAKER_01]: So in many ways, it's like, I think there is going to be that sort of fight for who should have been there.

32:56.009 --> 33:02.890
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think especially for Raya said, she feels like she should be there over Santa because Sanca just kind of locked up.

33:03.010 --> 33:04.310
[SPEAKER_01]: She's not a part of Marigold.

33:04.391 --> 33:06.891
[SPEAKER_01]: She just kind of put her hand up and said, I want to join.

33:07.431 --> 33:22.602
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, you saw how important this tournament was for a like one of the best primers I've seen in Marigold as a non-Japanese speaker, I should also, of course, just in terms of the emotion she was giving forward like that was powerful stuff.

33:23.382 --> 33:29.587
[SPEAKER_01]: Now she's just got to put it out in the ring and show that, you know, if we had to fight it out, I would have got this spot.

33:30.865 --> 33:35.046
[SPEAKER_01]: The big challenge for her is she's coming into this tournament with a singles record in twenty three and five.

33:35.966 --> 33:43.208
[SPEAKER_01]: One win and nine losses and that's including the most recent match against my saccharide, which no one would blame her for losing.

33:43.388 --> 33:51.770
[SPEAKER_01]: My saccharide wanted to best wrestle in Marigold right now, but that's the worst record coming into the Marigold, the dreams start tournaments.

33:51.870 --> 33:53.850
[SPEAKER_01]: So she can't have to change things.

33:55.050 --> 33:57.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think she, I think she at least doubles her wins.

33:58.817 --> 33:59.217
[SPEAKER_00]: at least.

34:00.758 --> 34:01.839
[SPEAKER_00]: You're getting a third.

34:02.379 --> 34:04.740
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, her getting a third wouldn't shock me either.

34:04.780 --> 34:11.284
[SPEAKER_00]: I think having the heels on your side changes things as well, you know, that's going to play a role to this.

34:11.904 --> 34:19.089
[SPEAKER_00]: Nozaki and Matsui, you know, on their off day or something of the sorts, maybe even Chiyaki may help her along the way.

34:19.129 --> 34:21.090
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, in the early going, you know,

34:21.790 --> 34:23.952
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, let's try to get there together by the end.

34:24.712 --> 34:25.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, type thing.

34:25.633 --> 34:28.455
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think they'll be a fastening aspect to follow.

34:29.095 --> 34:33.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, her opening day, she will face Cookie and Murray, and then a Tommy high-ish dust.

34:33.718 --> 34:39.943
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously work knowing that and on the final night, as I said previously, two wins straight up there, or should be fine.

34:39.963 --> 34:40.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:40.463 --> 34:40.803
[SPEAKER_00]: Easy.

34:40.824 --> 34:47.648
[SPEAKER_00]: And then her final night is against Super rookie, Serriami Oko, which obviously is one that I think jumps off the page.

34:47.929 --> 34:49.490
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll talk about it a little bit later.

34:50.954 --> 34:54.356
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we have the other darkness or revolution member.

34:54.376 --> 34:56.336
[SPEAKER_00]: And that, of course, is Chiyaki.

34:56.597 --> 34:59.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Chiyaki added tough go in last year's tournament.

34:59.998 --> 35:01.619
[SPEAKER_00]: She ain't get much wins.

35:02.779 --> 35:03.480
[SPEAKER_00]: She struggled.

35:04.400 --> 35:07.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I, I think it's not.

35:07.882 --> 35:09.442
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, not a lot of time.

35:09.502 --> 35:12.023
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a very important tournament for Chiyaki.

35:12.824 --> 35:12.964
[SPEAKER_00]: Um,

35:14.217 --> 35:16.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything about Chiyaki is cool.

35:16.699 --> 35:18.440
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the first thing I got to say.

35:18.460 --> 35:19.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you just watch Chiyaki.

35:19.841 --> 35:20.902
[SPEAKER_00]: She's happy to be there.

35:20.962 --> 35:23.484
[SPEAKER_00]: She's happy to be a bad guy.

35:23.564 --> 35:27.447
[SPEAKER_00]: She said literally in her first problem, I want to be a bad guy.

35:27.968 --> 35:29.048
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be a Rudo.

35:30.229 --> 35:31.651
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm here to do.

35:32.011 --> 35:34.733
[SPEAKER_00]: And she has embraced that as soon as she could.

35:35.213 --> 35:43.800
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think for her this year, it's about just one overall improvement.

35:44.917 --> 35:51.259
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's true, but to just getting the time, you know, a lot of her matches last year were very short.

35:51.800 --> 35:55.161
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that spoke to what her experience level was at the time.

35:55.621 --> 35:58.082
[SPEAKER_00]: Also placement on the cards, she was always the early match.

35:58.502 --> 35:59.723
[SPEAKER_00]: There's some shows here.

36:00.703 --> 36:04.825
[SPEAKER_00]: in this tournament where she is going to have one of the two tournament matches on the day.

36:05.245 --> 36:08.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Her name is Tommy on day two, the third is by itself.

36:08.966 --> 36:09.806
[SPEAKER_00]: That is on island.

36:10.307 --> 36:13.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Her and Koki on day three is in on island.

36:13.648 --> 36:16.909
[SPEAKER_00]: And most importantly, her and my you is on an island.

36:16.929 --> 36:21.471
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's kind of a match where it's like, all right, let's see what Chiyaki has.

36:22.131 --> 36:26.533
[SPEAKER_00]: Chiyaki is like one of those wrestlers that you watch, you know, I want you to be great.

36:27.273 --> 36:28.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Because again, you're so cool.

36:29.514 --> 36:30.575
[SPEAKER_00]: You bring it to the table.

36:30.935 --> 36:34.977
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's shown flashes and tag team matches throughout the past year.

36:35.718 --> 36:37.118
[SPEAKER_00]: She is a former champion.

36:37.198 --> 36:39.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Her and the recent Ozaki were twin star champions.

36:39.760 --> 36:41.901
[SPEAKER_00]: So there is an accolade to her name.

36:42.241 --> 36:43.402
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not just someone.

36:43.682 --> 36:49.005
[SPEAKER_00]: She is someone that has accomplished something that other wrestlers that we're going to talk about to this tournament have not.

36:49.465 --> 36:52.447
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like we're going to talk about Misa Matsui and

36:53.804 --> 36:56.367
[SPEAKER_00]: She's come up short a lot in championship matches.

36:56.407 --> 36:57.268
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a tough go.

36:57.788 --> 37:01.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Jackie at least has had a match has won a title.

37:02.253 --> 37:06.078
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think for her, it's just going to be a growing, right?

37:06.378 --> 37:08.340
[SPEAKER_00]: For her, she's going to be the heel.

37:08.400 --> 37:09.742
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to take a lot of losses.

37:09.962 --> 37:10.863
[SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.

37:11.483 --> 37:15.208
[SPEAKER_00]: But if she can show out in the opportunities that she has throughout this tournament,

37:16.495 --> 37:27.020
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great because ultimately, she hasn't really, the thing about her role in darkness revolution is you have Mesa Matsu who's kind of like, you know, the workhorse type wrestler.

37:27.280 --> 37:33.102
[SPEAKER_00]: You have Nozaki who's kind of been that leader and really been the one with Chiyaki from the start, obviously.

37:33.123 --> 37:35.644
[SPEAKER_00]: And then of course, you have Reyesetto joining.

37:36.024 --> 37:38.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Chiyaki doesn't want to become the forgotten one.

37:38.905 --> 37:42.787
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think she will if she has a tournament where you like, okay.

37:43.754 --> 37:59.121
[SPEAKER_00]: you walk away from like you did a good job you improve and I think that's all looking for for because like I said she's got she's got the charisma a jumps off the page right she's got she's got the skill such as got the look now I just want to see her bring it together

38:00.255 --> 38:03.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's not forget that first night, Margo fields forever against Marae.

38:03.858 --> 38:07.862
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people walked away being like, okay, Chiyaki, like, there's something here.

38:07.962 --> 38:10.124
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think that has disappeared.

38:10.604 --> 38:10.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.

38:11.485 --> 38:11.745
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.

38:11.765 --> 38:15.829
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, you know, when you go into a heel roll, it's like, I can just go to the...

38:16.429 --> 38:20.592
[SPEAKER_00]: simple rules in the book be heal and get along with it.

38:20.852 --> 38:23.614
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like her to really step up.

38:23.795 --> 38:27.157
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a reason I feel like she's been paired with my you and a lot of house cards.

38:27.617 --> 38:31.380
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this is maybe someone they want to see take a few steps forward.

38:31.400 --> 38:33.702
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's what I'm hoping for from her in this term.

38:35.317 --> 38:43.923
[SPEAKER_01]: CL, she's almost a victim of being kind of ready-made out of the box from the AEW wrestlers who came into Maradol.

38:44.203 --> 38:56.172
[SPEAKER_01]: From that first night, you kind of got like a really exciting taste of wrestlers who could go toe to toe in certain aspects with some of the sudden crew, look already there, character and personality already there, charisma already there.

38:57.180 --> 38:58.422
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was almost like our sweet.

38:58.722 --> 38:59.924
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't really need to invest.

38:59.964 --> 39:01.025
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

39:01.465 --> 39:07.693
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they focused on somebody other wrestlers and then we've dark and so evolution and the the dark will for our army and stuff like that.

39:07.974 --> 39:10.417
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just kind of like you your your your fine as you are.

39:11.159 --> 39:15.040
[SPEAKER_01]: do what you're doing and help support some of the other wrestlers as they're coming to remain.

39:15.380 --> 39:17.781
[SPEAKER_01]: But Zilla was doing her thing and joining them.

39:18.081 --> 39:23.883
[SPEAKER_01]: Megatong coming in, Missa Matsui with the gimmick change, even Lisa said I really said I'm coming in.

39:24.983 --> 39:28.264
[SPEAKER_01]: She didn't need to do much, but support them.

39:29.327 --> 39:35.770
[SPEAKER_01]: And as a result, it's almost like she hasn't really had a chance to develop and do much herself.

39:36.330 --> 39:40.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, even like again, you're looking at the dream style Grand Prix last year, it's all her matches.

39:41.232 --> 39:49.655
[SPEAKER_01]: You can say she had an anonymous tournament, but what was her chance as to do anything, but she didn't get the time to showcase herself.

39:50.035 --> 39:57.478
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it was very much a go-in, have a couple of minute matches, hit your spots, do your little fun stuff, pop the crowd with your gimmick stuff,

39:57.898 --> 40:01.459
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very much like given the house show stuff.

40:02.099 --> 40:02.319
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:02.779 --> 40:06.840
[SPEAKER_01]: This year, it does feel like that's not going to be the case.

40:06.900 --> 40:11.501
[SPEAKER_01]: As you said, a lot of these key matches, the attorney match, the Miami match stuff like that.

40:12.621 --> 40:16.442
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't feel like it's just going to be given three minutes to just hit your spots.

40:17.142 --> 40:22.143
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like it's going to be, you know, still do that, but let's see what you can deliver.

40:22.203 --> 40:27.364
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you can step up and do what you did against Mariah on day one and maybe even a bit more,

40:28.565 --> 40:32.727
[SPEAKER_01]: then we can start pushing me forward and doing more and showcasing more.

40:32.747 --> 40:50.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Because yeah, Chiaki in many ways feels like she should be someone who can step up and do more, but for the past year and a half, it feels like she's just been in a holding pattern of cool gimmick, cool charisma, but a role player to almost the truest degree.

40:51.058 --> 40:54.840
[SPEAKER_01]: She's not a bad wrestler, she's not a weak performer,

40:55.744 --> 41:05.428
[SPEAKER_01]: Fun fact, she's the only one in this entire tournament with a perfect record in twenty twenty five, a whole scary two and zero in singles wreck are matches, but that kind of speaks to it.

41:05.468 --> 41:07.568
[SPEAKER_01]: She's only had two singles matches all year.

41:08.048 --> 41:12.350
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything else is evil like triple threats fatal four ways and tag matches.

41:12.930 --> 41:18.972
[SPEAKER_01]: She's kind of done nothing since the twin stars run that she had but support the rest of darkness revolution.

41:19.192 --> 41:20.493
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's fine for a bit.

41:21.181 --> 41:32.869
[SPEAKER_01]: But with Marigold growing so fast and so many young wrestlers stepping up very quickly, if she keeps in the holding pattern she is, she's going to plummet down the car.

41:33.229 --> 41:37.833
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's not a knock on her if she's not getting the opportunities, but she's going to get forgotten very quickly.

41:39.234 --> 41:43.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, Chiyaki is someone who I want to come out of this tournament.

41:44.763 --> 41:49.907
[SPEAKER_00]: in a spot that she could challenge for you, not in national title, on a smaller show.

41:50.127 --> 41:54.411
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's like my ideal spot for her out of all this.

41:54.511 --> 41:59.195
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think with the matches they've lined up, this is the ultimate test for her.

41:59.215 --> 42:04.719
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think she's someone who, given the opportunity, might be able to rise to that occasion.

42:04.779 --> 42:09.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, obviously, waiting to see, we don't know until it plays out.

42:12.508 --> 42:17.390
[SPEAKER_00]: She's someone I like, I like all these wrestlers at the other day, so like big shock.

42:17.530 --> 42:21.792
[SPEAKER_00]: But she's someone that I don't want to get left behind.

42:21.892 --> 42:25.593
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think you make a great point with darkness revolution slash dark wolf army.

42:25.633 --> 42:27.254
[SPEAKER_00]: It has been a revolving door.

42:27.294 --> 42:28.894
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they feel like they're settled.

42:29.394 --> 42:32.156
[SPEAKER_00]: Like these four are this faction moving forward.

42:32.516 --> 42:35.577
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's going to do a lot of good for her and the rest of them.

42:35.597 --> 42:35.797
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm

42:36.137 --> 42:37.237
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to see what she does.

42:37.297 --> 42:37.877
[SPEAKER_00]: I really am.

42:37.937 --> 42:42.518
[SPEAKER_00]: I know a lot of people would probably, you know, it's Chiyaki like that's going to be your whatever match.

42:42.598 --> 42:44.719
[SPEAKER_00]: But hey, that's kind of the beauty of this tournament.

42:44.739 --> 42:51.681
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to get to see her on one of the only tournament matches a few times throughout this tournament, be like, what can Chiyaki bring to the table?

42:51.821 --> 42:52.821
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's really cool.

42:53.321 --> 42:55.021
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm all I should hear the best.

42:55.341 --> 42:58.062
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she'll make some strides and speaking of making some strides.

42:59.631 --> 43:05.154
[SPEAKER_00]: Cookie Myers, a big topic point I think heading into this tournament.

43:05.214 --> 43:08.996
[SPEAKER_00]: She is someone that I don't think it's really up for debate.

43:09.517 --> 43:16.961
[SPEAKER_00]: If she just puts a little more together in the ring, she's going to be a superstar in this entire company.

43:17.041 --> 43:21.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there's a reason she was the first GHC woman's champion.

43:21.503 --> 43:24.405
[SPEAKER_00]: She's someone who is a star in the making.

43:25.286 --> 43:27.287
[SPEAKER_00]: And before the injury,

43:28.618 --> 43:29.979
[SPEAKER_00]: She had found those strides.

43:30.059 --> 43:32.601
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, okay, like a lot of this is gonna make sense.

43:32.621 --> 43:33.722
[SPEAKER_00]: You saw a lot of it last year.

43:33.742 --> 43:38.685
[SPEAKER_00]: She was one of Mikuano's challengers for the United National Championships.

43:38.725 --> 43:40.326
[SPEAKER_00]: She won the GHC Women's title.

43:40.727 --> 43:48.792
[SPEAKER_00]: And then of course, tearing her ACL on the very first show of the year kind of just plummeted all of what she put together.

43:48.812 --> 43:55.677
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people, a lot of people's most memorable match from last year that did involve a sobrior big show

43:56.738 --> 43:58.301
[SPEAKER_00]: was Cokey versus Mariah.

43:58.361 --> 44:04.352
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one that people still talk about of like that was when Cokey found a different level of confidence.

44:05.373 --> 44:05.453
[SPEAKER_00]: And

44:06.620 --> 44:08.162
[SPEAKER_00]: She was willing to step up.

44:08.202 --> 44:11.885
[SPEAKER_00]: She figured out a more simple style, but one that worked a lot for her.

44:12.686 --> 44:25.878
[SPEAKER_00]: And now she is someone who, if you look at this block and you think of her potential that we've been talking about and her accolades, she's going to come close to that, you know, she's one of the contenders, truthfully.

44:25.918 --> 44:30.502
[SPEAKER_00]: I know people may not think of that at first, but if she could put things together,

44:31.632 --> 44:38.055
[SPEAKER_00]: It lines up on the last night once again, her version of Tommy to be a very important match for both of them.

44:39.556 --> 44:41.717
[SPEAKER_00]: Koki, I just want her to find that stride again.

44:41.737 --> 44:44.659
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think for her, this tournament's going to serve as that.

44:45.359 --> 44:51.162
[SPEAKER_00]: It worked last year now that she has been in back wrestling for two, three months now.

44:52.491 --> 44:55.012
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a good time for that to start clicking back in.

44:55.312 --> 45:03.774
[SPEAKER_00]: I think people can be very harsh on someone who's coming back from injury just naturally because she's not where she had been right before.

45:05.114 --> 45:07.915
[SPEAKER_00]: And for her, she had just learned that.

45:08.015 --> 45:09.936
[SPEAKER_00]: She had just learned to the level she got to.

45:10.856 --> 45:16.037
[SPEAKER_00]: So for Koki, I'm hoping that this is her finding that consistency again.

45:16.438 --> 45:20.879
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe doing some more moves, like trying some new things as well along the way.

45:21.759 --> 45:36.391
[SPEAKER_00]: She kind of went to the big boot as her go to and her matches and while I think that was very smart now it's time to expand in some different ways and I think she has opponents in this in this term that can help her with that.

45:37.212 --> 45:51.955
[SPEAKER_00]: there's some interesting matchups for her obviously she'll face Mayu Tani for the first time that'll be a bit very important match her and her Tommy obviously have a great connection and that'll be seen on the final night her opening night for those interested we've already said I think

45:52.135 --> 45:55.218
[SPEAKER_00]: both of her matches, but she faces Sankha and Rea Setto.

45:55.358 --> 45:58.780
[SPEAKER_00]: So, she'll potentially get a nice two-o start.

45:59.081 --> 46:05.786
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, those two are wrestlers that are kind of expected to be towards the bottom, so she could start off very strong.

46:06.486 --> 46:10.249
[SPEAKER_00]: But for me, watching Koki, I just hope she makes those strides that we saw last year.

46:10.329 --> 46:12.691
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she has all the capabilities to do that.

46:13.071 --> 46:19.897
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think given the right match up, given the right opponent, she can make the necessary strides that we're all hoping for.

46:21.398 --> 46:30.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, obviously she had a little bit of ring rust coming back from her ACL injury, but I think that's perfectly understandable because an ACL injury, like she came back very quickly.

46:30.564 --> 46:39.931
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's an order to remember what was five, six months after that injury, which that's a recovery time, like we've seen rest over the full five year.

46:40.551 --> 46:46.255
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we've seen wrestlers take a year pass to come back from that kind of injury to come back in half that time.

46:46.855 --> 47:02.837
[SPEAKER_01]: over half that time is kind of crazy and you know she was finding her groove a bit as a wrestler before that injury but it still hadn't fully clicked yet so for her to come back to have to shake off the ring rust kind of rediscover what was working for her

47:03.638 --> 47:08.439
[SPEAKER_01]: in a very different margo, like in the space of six months, the awful lot had changed.

47:08.899 --> 47:09.119
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

47:09.279 --> 47:10.980
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's asking a lot.

47:11.140 --> 47:20.582
[SPEAKER_01]: And she had to come back in, readjust, and then all of a sudden defend the championship against Takimura, who was not going to give her any quarters as well.

47:21.022 --> 47:23.483
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought she did a good job in that match, especially like

47:24.879 --> 47:26.020
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a challenging situation.

47:26.100 --> 47:36.248
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I think, you know, she had a couple of months to shake that ring real staff to kind of remind herself, okay, this is what was working for me, this was what wasn't, um, hopefully coming to this tournament.

47:36.941 --> 47:45.809
[SPEAKER_01]: things can start to click again, because yeah, it was in the dream style last year that I felt like the cookie money that needed to be discovered was starting to get discovered.

47:46.369 --> 47:49.432
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is a good block, as you said, the time is a great opponent for her.

47:49.692 --> 47:53.656
[SPEAKER_01]: They have fantastic chemistry as friends, and I think they'll have it as rivals.

47:54.517 --> 47:57.299
[SPEAKER_01]: My, you know, it's a perfect kind of get everything out.

47:57.699 --> 48:03.765
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, working with youngsters is going to again kind of like when we're talking with Jackie,

48:04.480 --> 48:05.881
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to have to step up.

48:05.941 --> 48:07.182
[SPEAKER_01]: She can't rest on her laurel.

48:07.242 --> 48:09.644
[SPEAKER_01]: She will be one of the high-point scores.

48:09.704 --> 48:18.890
[SPEAKER_01]: I think in this block, but if she wants to remain one of the up-and-coming stars to be in Marigal, she'll have to prove it in the ring.

48:18.970 --> 48:29.357
[SPEAKER_01]: Because if she gets shown up by Sarah Yanaoka, by Sankar, by Victoria Yuzik in the ring, it doesn't matter how much the high-ups, upside prospect you are,

48:30.602 --> 48:37.584
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to show itself in a tournament setting, if week after week, you are the disappointing wrestler in a match of two.

48:38.965 --> 48:40.385
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she can put it together.

48:40.966 --> 48:42.106
[SPEAKER_01]: She's shown glimpses of it.

48:42.886 --> 48:46.327
[SPEAKER_01]: There's definitely every reason to try and make it work with her.

48:47.148 --> 48:52.609
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a matter of keeping that faith, giving her the right opponent, giving her the time and trusting in her.

48:54.764 --> 49:05.930
[SPEAKER_01]: I've talked about it behind the scenes, little bit less of the power stuff until she can develop that strength, the strikes of what works for her, keep going back to that, big boots being a fantastic addition.

49:06.782 --> 49:16.589
[SPEAKER_01]: find some other stuff like that that works for her and I think she'll have a good move base that she can develop to give her character in the ring what she needs.

49:17.690 --> 49:21.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I think also what's going good for cookie now is supposed to last year.

49:22.313 --> 49:30.299
[SPEAKER_00]: The pressure is a bit off from yes, you know, this time last year this roster is like we you kind of need to be.

49:32.040 --> 49:35.623
[SPEAKER_00]: Here right now like we need to hear now it's like okay.

49:36.733 --> 49:38.135
[SPEAKER_00]: You can you can work on yourself.

49:38.155 --> 49:41.859
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't need you to be like the next main eventor.

49:41.879 --> 49:50.470
[SPEAKER_00]: You can you can you figure things out and I think people are going to be a little hard on our tournament to begin with because for last two matches are the my union of Tommy matches.

49:51.051 --> 49:54.415
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are kind of the big showing points, but

49:55.416 --> 50:06.979
[SPEAKER_00]: It just takes a few good showings and especially at the end to build confidence off of those, heading into, you know, a time of the year where she started to really find it.

50:07.479 --> 50:15.081
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember her performance in the twin star tag match last year where she teamed with Uttami and she did a credible job.

50:15.201 --> 50:18.662
[SPEAKER_00]: There's probably her best career performance that I've seen from her.

50:20.143 --> 50:20.343
[SPEAKER_00]: So,

50:21.873 --> 50:22.354
[SPEAKER_00]: There's hope.

50:22.754 --> 50:24.536
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I can't stress that enough.

50:24.576 --> 50:26.839
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's the pressures off.

50:26.919 --> 50:31.424
[SPEAKER_00]: You just got to go out there and be you and figure yourself out along the way.

50:31.845 --> 50:39.934
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's kind of again the fun part for some of these wrestlers is the pressure is off for some of them, especially a cookie.

50:40.094 --> 50:41.496
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to do a lot of good now.

50:44.011 --> 50:45.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have a record?

50:45.052 --> 50:46.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I know she hasn't had many matches.

50:47.673 --> 50:47.973
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

50:48.033 --> 50:51.275
[SPEAKER_01]: So she has a single record of three wins in one loss.

50:51.335 --> 50:53.035
[SPEAKER_01]: And that one loss is to creamy.

50:53.176 --> 50:56.497
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like that's a pretty good record of all things considered.

50:57.158 --> 50:57.978
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll say this.

50:58.038 --> 50:59.159
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's a kumi match.

50:59.179 --> 51:02.660
[SPEAKER_00]: It was actually really good for like one of her better performances.

51:02.720 --> 51:04.241
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a match I watched.

51:04.281 --> 51:07.363
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, okay, like see again, see like there is

51:08.363 --> 51:24.011
[SPEAKER_00]: that ability here and it was very fascinating for her because she had to play the underdog and I thought that fit better to her skills that actually obviously like it's hard for her to do that because she's a taller wrestler so like just naturally, you know, expect her in that role but it works for Go Cheek and why can't it work for Koki Amara, right?

51:24.031 --> 51:30.075
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's something that will play to her strengths especially again in those final two matches especially.

51:30.915 --> 51:52.189
[SPEAKER_01]: She's someone who I think could be a bit like a manufacturer call who you get glimpses of real potential for a couple of years and then it just clicks and it's okay there we go that's what we were seeing for a couple of years and now you're getting consistently it's just a matter of having that patience because we get spoiled with some of the younger rookies who it just seems they come out of the box and they're

51:52.969 --> 52:00.393
[SPEAKER_01]: years ahead of what they should be, not every wrestling can do that and it's unfair to assume that everyone can just turn it on like that.

52:00.413 --> 52:14.181
[SPEAKER_01]: And Kokey is young enough that like you can give her a couple of years to start piecing it all together and once it's connected, she's still going to have plenty of time and a nice long career to start really capitalizing on those games.

52:14.768 --> 52:16.510
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think the meanest shout is a great one.

52:16.750 --> 52:24.777
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a really good one for what her potential might be, you know, overall, and how it may take some time, but when she gets there, she can get there.

52:25.438 --> 52:34.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Her most notable match will be that main event match likely, main event match, I just say, should you go face against my U of timing as she takes on her timing on the final day at

52:36.288 --> 52:41.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Cork, and let's get into the final four here in the block and it all starts with the super rookie herself.

52:42.470 --> 52:47.452
[SPEAKER_00]: So Riyamioka who enters her very first dream star, Brad.

52:47.532 --> 52:51.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Pray you want to talk about someone that faced plenty of pressure from day one.

52:52.794 --> 52:54.855
[SPEAKER_00]: First off, she was the first super rookie.

52:55.735 --> 53:05.061
[SPEAKER_00]: of Marigold like that was just what she was titled and we saw for weeks and weeks and weeks and months really of the build up to her debut and it's like okay.

53:05.101 --> 53:08.943
[SPEAKER_00]: She had a big time background as amateur wrestlers.

53:08.963 --> 53:13.085
[SPEAKER_00]: She got this big signing moment that they presented and all these different things.

53:13.546 --> 53:14.626
[SPEAKER_00]: She got a face mirage.

53:14.646 --> 53:17.108
[SPEAKER_00]: She had a you know live like

53:19.309 --> 53:22.010
[SPEAKER_00]: sparring session that they talked about.

53:22.050 --> 53:24.992
[SPEAKER_00]: All these different things, so much pressure from the get go.

53:25.412 --> 53:26.373
[SPEAKER_00]: She has her debut.

53:27.013 --> 53:36.278
[SPEAKER_00]: At first, Dream shows her amateur background, then showcases a little bit of, okay, there's some, there's obviously some potential here, get someone like Mariah.

53:37.618 --> 53:39.699
[SPEAKER_00]: and the pressure never stopped.

53:39.739 --> 53:58.947
[SPEAKER_00]: She said instantly one, the twin star championships alongside the Naitaka Hashie and that was the best thing to happen to her despite the, uh, despite the pressure that that may make you feel in the outside noise that she has very publicly said she had to deal with at times.

53:59.628 --> 54:04.170
[SPEAKER_00]: She kept pushing forward alongside the Naitaka Hashie, but came to Naitaka Hashie

54:05.338 --> 54:06.018
[SPEAKER_00]: air apparent.

54:06.498 --> 54:14.560
[SPEAKER_00]: You see it on, if you're watching on YouTube and not waiting for this to be on the podcast, it says passion on her gear now.

54:14.640 --> 54:17.100
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is someone who is fully embraced.

54:17.421 --> 54:20.441
[SPEAKER_00]: It says passion monster on the bands on her arm.

54:20.881 --> 54:24.162
[SPEAKER_00]: She has went, she went from this amateur like technical.

54:24.302 --> 54:28.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, maybe she'll be like to Hiroshima to like, Oh, no, she's just a mix of

54:29.343 --> 54:30.524
[SPEAKER_00]: all these different things.

54:30.565 --> 54:33.287
[SPEAKER_00]: And now she just kind of has found it.

54:33.608 --> 54:35.209
[SPEAKER_00]: She has absolutely found it.

54:35.470 --> 54:42.777
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, if you're listening to me for the past seven months now, soon to be eight, I have saying nothing but the praises for Suriyama.

54:42.857 --> 54:45.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I don't think there is a wrestler

54:47.287 --> 54:51.512
[SPEAKER_00]: That's debuted over the past two years that has the ceiling.

54:51.853 --> 54:53.354
[SPEAKER_00]: That's three Amioka has.

54:54.055 --> 54:56.839
[SPEAKER_00]: She is just a very, very special town.

54:57.079 --> 55:03.827
[SPEAKER_00]: She is someone who has the athleticism, the explosiveness, and the teaching free.

55:04.728 --> 55:08.731
[SPEAKER_00]: to be great, you know, like she learned the Aoki clutch from Shinya Aoki.

55:09.071 --> 55:13.254
[SPEAKER_00]: She learned everything humanly possible from the Naitaka Ashi.

55:13.694 --> 55:17.097
[SPEAKER_00]: She learned obviously naturally from Fuka, who is one of the coaches.

55:17.517 --> 55:22.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she's going to learn from Shudji Kondo, who's now the new head coach for Marigold.

55:23.041 --> 55:30.046
[SPEAKER_00]: And, oh, by the way, you know, there's the Mayus and the Uttamis and the Marais and all these other great wrestlers that are here.

55:32.407 --> 55:37.990
[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of the most exciting tournament lineups for any person in this tournament.

55:38.050 --> 55:45.614
[SPEAKER_00]: You just look at what she's done so far already in her, again, seven month career.

55:46.055 --> 55:50.337
[SPEAKER_00]: What she's shown in her singles matches along the way, right?

55:50.377 --> 55:51.778
[SPEAKER_00]: She has that first one, we're right.

55:51.798 --> 55:55.320
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very ground-based, but, you know, they do the draw, thing, and then she's pin.

55:55.780 --> 55:59.302
[SPEAKER_00]: She has the magic to cool me around, which I think opened a lot of eyes and was like, oh,

56:00.082 --> 56:01.023
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the match.

56:01.223 --> 56:03.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw something flipped for her.

56:03.685 --> 56:06.788
[SPEAKER_00]: Like everything just seemed to click instantly.

56:06.848 --> 56:08.710
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like she knew the night was her tires.

56:08.730 --> 56:09.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, all right, I got this.

56:10.371 --> 56:14.034
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just been kind of like pure consistency from there.

56:14.074 --> 56:15.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Just growing and growing and growing.

56:17.457 --> 56:20.260
[SPEAKER_00]: I will continuously hype Seria Mioka.

56:20.280 --> 56:22.021
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the rookie I see as the

56:23.062 --> 56:24.863
[SPEAKER_00]: top rookie right now in wrestling.

56:26.504 --> 56:30.606
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, her feud with Sankha Katsu speaks for itself.

56:30.706 --> 56:36.330
[SPEAKER_00]: That has kind of been like, that's one of the most anticipated things of this entire tournament.

56:36.410 --> 56:40.392
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that, you know, Margo just pushed her the way she is.

56:40.712 --> 56:43.994
[SPEAKER_00]: I expect her to have a very, very strong tournament as well.

56:44.574 --> 56:47.676
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Trent, I think it'll be interesting to hear from you.

56:47.756 --> 56:50.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, as someone who lived the utami,

56:51.378 --> 56:53.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Super rookie push once upon a time in stardom.

56:54.442 --> 56:57.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously different, you know, she didn't debut right before the tournament.

56:57.827 --> 57:02.352
[SPEAKER_00]: She's had some time to build up and grow before entering her first tournament.

57:02.473 --> 57:07.659
[SPEAKER_00]: But what is your outlook for Sri Yamiyoka as she enters her first GP?

57:08.892 --> 57:16.374
[SPEAKER_01]: It was interesting because when Sarri kind of was coming into Marigold, like I wasn't watching wrestling, that was while I was taking my hiatus from it.

57:16.774 --> 57:20.216
[SPEAKER_01]: And we were still talking, you were letting me know what was going on in the wrestling world.

57:20.256 --> 57:25.357
[SPEAKER_01]: And you tell me about how Marigold had this super rookie coming through this eight-in-year-old got a prodigy.

57:25.897 --> 57:28.758
[SPEAKER_01]: And that they're actively announcing her as a super rookie.

57:28.778 --> 57:30.279
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know in my heart I was going to think,

57:31.855 --> 57:56.221
[SPEAKER_01]: Be careful, like, because I just remember like for as good as you tell me was announcing her as a super rookie off the bat in the way they handled her did put a lot of people off review Tommy because it kind of felt like it was, you know, kind of as good as she was was kind of ramming people down, it was ramming you tell me down people's thoughts and kind of putting her over established people not that you have to earn your spot necessarily, but it did feel a bit

57:56.961 --> 57:59.363
[SPEAKER_01]: too much too fast at times.

58:00.244 --> 58:08.070
[SPEAKER_01]: But having seen her wrestling, see how the handled it almost feels like they've taken what work with utami and just tweaked it in certain ways.

58:08.110 --> 58:19.479
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think especially with the way Siri years, it's actually it's a better version because I think if they tried to do utami two point O exactly with her, it would have failed.

58:19.939 --> 58:22.081
[SPEAKER_01]: But she feels a little bit more underdoggy.

58:22.121 --> 58:23.441
[SPEAKER_01]: She feels a little bit more human.

58:24.062 --> 58:30.386
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not sure if it's because it's been eight months as opposed to jumping her straight into a tournament setting where she goes on and makes the final.

58:30.786 --> 58:35.309
[SPEAKER_01]: But she's had chances to fail to struggle to not be an invincible beast.

58:35.989 --> 58:39.812
[SPEAKER_01]: She can hang with the main event as she can, you know, go to a few ten minute draw with Mariah.

58:40.172 --> 58:42.533
[SPEAKER_01]: She can look competitive against the Takumi.

58:43.114 --> 58:44.735
[SPEAKER_01]: But she doesn't look dominant.

58:45.195 --> 59:13.160
[SPEAKER_01]: necessarily like she's hanging on it's a real kind of underdog spirit for someone like her it works really well and now like we're seeing as we're getting closer and closer to this tournament in the tag matches she's being used like a you know a hot tag and a house on fire conversation where she comes in and just destroys people which suits her wrestling style where she can just out muscle people and throw people around and has that electric shock gun job kicked that she does and

59:13.920 --> 59:17.722
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like everything's just kind of clicking and everything's working.

59:17.782 --> 59:19.803
[SPEAKER_01]: And you mentioned the Takumi match.

59:20.583 --> 59:24.065
[SPEAKER_01]: That sort of was a light bulb moment for me.

59:24.245 --> 59:27.847
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it was the Yuzuki draw as well.

59:28.267 --> 59:33.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's one thing to have a great match with a veteran who can quote unquote carry you a little bit.

59:33.889 --> 59:34.110
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

59:34.510 --> 59:40.933
[SPEAKER_01]: But to have that kind of fifteen minute match with another youngster who Yuzuki's had

59:41.673 --> 59:55.182
[SPEAKER_01]: Fair bit of experience with someone her age and has sat under the learning tree, so to speak, but to have that kind of match, I think speaks to both of their talent levels and you can't necessarily be carried that way with someone at Yuzuki's level.

59:55.682 --> 59:58.984
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it speaks to how mature Seri already is.

59:59.665 --> 01:00:02.666
[SPEAKER_01]: Coming into this tournament, she's going to get a good mix of that.

01:00:02.706 --> 01:00:07.910
[SPEAKER_01]: She's got the veterans of my own utami, which is really exciting matchups, especially my or not one.

01:00:08.462 --> 01:00:23.835
[SPEAKER_01]: But she's got all those rookie matches, which as we've talked about, and not only going to be exciting, like, with Miss Tess for everyone in that spot, to, you know, who's the better wrestler, who stands out more, but also just kind of, you know, where did they sit on the point stuff?

01:00:23.875 --> 01:00:24.916
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're out here.

01:00:24.996 --> 01:00:27.238
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, she has the super rookie Monica.

01:00:27.739 --> 01:00:30.601
[SPEAKER_01]: We see how Rossi likes to book these super rookies.

01:00:31.442 --> 01:00:35.265
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of people probably expect, say, to be scoring a lot of points at the end of it all.

01:00:36.187 --> 01:00:39.468
[SPEAKER_01]: myself included, but I think it's going to be really exciting.

01:00:39.908 --> 01:00:50.592
[SPEAKER_01]: Far more than if this was her debut in July, like Tommy did in twenty eighteen, because we've seen a proper growth as a performer, a wrestler and as a person.

01:00:52.252 --> 01:00:59.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she she feels it's really weird because like a lot of the time people tell what work he's like, oh, they're not ready.

01:00:59.955 --> 01:01:00.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they're not ready.

01:01:00.755 --> 01:01:01.035
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like

01:01:02.664 --> 01:01:05.529
[SPEAKER_00]: She feels ready for any challenge ahead of her.

01:01:06.210 --> 01:01:12.781
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you don't necessarily need to put her in the final, but if she enters the final, based on what she's done,

01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:16.540
[SPEAKER_00]: have confidence she's going to succeed.

01:01:16.620 --> 01:01:18.161
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where she's made it to.

01:01:19.221 --> 01:01:23.003
[SPEAKER_00]: She's legitimately had one of the better years in wrestling that I see.

01:01:23.103 --> 01:01:27.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Like just, you know, again, teaming with the Nye did so much good for her.

01:01:27.585 --> 01:01:30.366
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, learning from her in the ring with her.

01:01:30.826 --> 01:01:35.388
[SPEAKER_00]: And now like she's just growing in terms of her moves and all these different things.

01:01:35.528 --> 01:01:39.350
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, the first few months, like, oh, she's going to be pretty ground based on all these things.

01:01:39.390 --> 01:01:40.750
[SPEAKER_00]: She barely is that now.

01:01:40.970 --> 01:01:42.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm not she's with Sankha.

01:01:42.571 --> 01:01:44.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Like she's usually just like,

01:01:45.531 --> 01:01:52.200
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you said, I am going to hit you with my dropkick because I am more powerful and more explosive than you are.

01:01:52.661 --> 01:01:55.244
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to throw you around because I can.

01:01:55.725 --> 01:02:01.613
[SPEAKER_00]: And she has all these different submissions and pins that I think are going to go a long way for her to rack up some points.

01:02:02.213 --> 01:02:03.413
[SPEAKER_00]: in this tournament.

01:02:04.474 --> 01:02:06.514
[SPEAKER_00]: She has a great road ahead.

01:02:06.834 --> 01:02:12.195
[SPEAKER_00]: She is like I said, you know, one of those wrestlers, I just have circled of every tournament.

01:02:12.215 --> 01:02:14.096
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to be really fascinating for her.

01:02:14.696 --> 01:02:19.317
[SPEAKER_00]: And she opens her tournament against Chiyaki and Mayu Iwatani.

01:02:19.857 --> 01:02:26.579
[SPEAKER_00]: So starting off really quick, really fast, work noting at the Quark and Hall.

01:02:26.799 --> 01:02:28.399
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll face Koki Maris.

01:02:28.419 --> 01:02:30.480
[SPEAKER_00]: So very big test for both of them.

01:02:32.240 --> 01:02:34.543
[SPEAKER_00]: for the people that I know want to know this.

01:02:34.603 --> 01:02:38.967
[SPEAKER_00]: She faces Sanka Akatsuki at Shinjuku face.

01:02:39.367 --> 01:02:41.889
[SPEAKER_00]: So that big time match her second to final match.

01:02:42.130 --> 01:02:43.831
[SPEAKER_00]: She also faces Victoria Zuki again.

01:02:43.851 --> 01:02:47.094
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's kind of something forgotten in this entire tournament.

01:02:47.755 --> 01:02:49.176
[SPEAKER_00]: We're running that back once again.

01:02:49.416 --> 01:02:51.397
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the last time was a fifteen minute draw.

01:02:51.417 --> 01:02:52.877
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a great fifteen minute draw.

01:02:52.917 --> 01:02:57.199
[SPEAKER_00]: As a match I walked away from like they are not supposed to have this chemistry already.

01:02:57.319 --> 01:02:58.340
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not fair.

01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:02.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's the, you know, like, we talked, I'm talking about generational rivalry with her in Sankha.

01:03:03.362 --> 01:03:09.085
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if we're going to talk about rivalry said, Margold obviously is going to plan on banking on it's that one.

01:03:09.885 --> 01:03:13.307
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a future world title match, a future, you know,

01:03:14.448 --> 01:03:17.330
[SPEAKER_00]: help might be a future dream star final someday.

01:03:17.370 --> 01:03:18.791
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's the type of thing that is.

01:03:18.811 --> 01:03:24.875
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, of course, on the final night, as we've been talking about, she will face Rea Setto, which could be a little spooky for her.

01:03:24.995 --> 01:03:26.676
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about that a little bit later.

01:03:26.876 --> 01:03:33.001
[SPEAKER_00]: Rea Setto feels like the perfect wrestler to maybe break some hearts for Siri.

01:03:33.101 --> 01:03:33.701
[SPEAKER_00]: I may go go.

01:03:33.881 --> 01:03:37.063
[SPEAKER_00]: But that will be something we talk about a little bit later.

01:03:37.143 --> 01:03:39.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get to the top three now.

01:03:39.485 --> 01:03:40.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes, a record.

01:03:40.706 --> 01:03:42.227
[SPEAKER_00]: Three losses to drones.

01:03:43.946 --> 01:03:47.532
[SPEAKER_00]: See, not in terms of super rookie, so it went everything.

01:03:47.712 --> 01:03:51.920
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like she now is she in there with the likes of the nine.

01:03:54.142 --> 01:03:55.883
[SPEAKER_00]: and Tacumi to get her losses.

01:03:56.023 --> 01:03:59.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but that's neither here in the movie.

01:03:59.746 --> 01:04:06.310
[SPEAKER_00]: So big time matchups, but I'm excited to see what she does, but let's get to the top three, starting with Victoria Zuki.

01:04:06.990 --> 01:04:13.114
[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird to sit here and think like, in many ways, she was the first super rookie of this current batch.

01:04:13.214 --> 01:04:16.236
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's just kind of forgotten and all of this.

01:04:16.676 --> 01:04:18.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Victoria Zuki feels like she is even

01:04:19.638 --> 01:04:27.726
[SPEAKER_00]: five year vet at this point because the way she carries herself and a lot of these other wrestlers in young margold are brand new she's

01:04:29.275 --> 01:04:56.327
[SPEAKER_00]: been in two companies already like that is what she has done in her career and she's very confident and I think that's what sets the Zuki apart from everyone else there is a clear confidence level that she's had really since day one and that oozes out especially this year she you know if you know a lot of people talk about like oh well you know she still has to make some adjustments and things she's just what she's one of one in many different ways like

01:04:58.446 --> 01:05:02.990
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a reason she is my use, you know, student in many ways.

01:05:03.030 --> 01:05:08.814
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of myuism's too hard, not just to move themselves, but the way she kind of goes.

01:05:08.894 --> 01:05:14.338
[SPEAKER_00]: She, you know, she just kind of goes out there and just puts her like you said earlier, puts her body online.

01:05:14.358 --> 01:05:15.519
[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't really care what happens.

01:05:15.539 --> 01:05:18.261
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see what happens on the end of the bad of me.

01:05:18.281 --> 01:05:19.702
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, is a pain.

01:05:20.483 --> 01:05:24.125
[SPEAKER_00]: And so many times for Yuzuki, it usually turns out pretty well.

01:05:24.205 --> 01:05:38.353
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the, that's the unfair part of how great she already is and how much better she's going to be after a second tournament under her, uh, under her name, which I think is pretty crazy that this is now her second tournament.

01:05:38.414 --> 01:05:43.196
[SPEAKER_00]: She's, by the time it's turned over, she won't even be a two year vet yet in full, like,

01:05:44.517 --> 01:05:57.718
[SPEAKER_00]: she's she's just one she's there's a reason from day one she said I'm going to be the margo days one day she was not kidding she was not hiding that she said I will be that you are going to watch me become that and

01:05:59.425 --> 01:06:06.428
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in some ways, we should probably give her some more respect when it comes to like, oh, they'll put a super rookie in the final.

01:06:06.508 --> 01:06:10.510
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, why the hell wouldn't they put a Victoria Suzuki type in the final, right?

01:06:10.550 --> 01:06:14.372
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's why I consider her the big three with my unantomic, because it's like,

01:06:15.915 --> 01:06:18.696
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we would be silly to counter out.

01:06:18.736 --> 01:06:20.836
[SPEAKER_00]: She already has a super flight championship to her name.

01:06:22.657 --> 01:06:28.339
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she has said, as she interviewed with me, she said the United National Tiles out next for her.

01:06:28.399 --> 01:06:29.739
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the next one she wants.

01:06:30.419 --> 01:06:31.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, you in the dream star Grand Prix.

01:06:32.820 --> 01:06:35.541
[SPEAKER_00]: Pick whatever you want, as far as I'm concerned.

01:06:35.981 --> 01:06:39.722
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm very excited to see what she can do here in this tournament.

01:06:39.802 --> 01:06:45.824
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, it helps that she is going to wrestle my you in a rematch from the Superfly match.

01:06:46.204 --> 01:06:52.046
[SPEAKER_00]: She is going to wrestle utami, which obviously, their relationship in many ways is a mentor student relationship.

01:06:52.166 --> 01:06:58.148
[SPEAKER_00]: One that was filled in when my you was not in my goal, which I think is obviously very cool for her.

01:06:58.448 --> 01:07:01.309
[SPEAKER_00]: In many ways, this block sometimes feels made for her.

01:07:02.169 --> 01:07:05.350
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, my you utami big time connections there.

01:07:05.711 --> 01:07:08.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Reoceto now her new rival in many ways.

01:07:09.032 --> 01:07:14.714
[SPEAKER_00]: Seriyamioka obviously her future rival, you know, like those for a long it feels made for her.

01:07:14.734 --> 01:07:22.758
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm very excited to see what Victoria Zuki does in her first crack at, you know,

01:07:23.278 --> 01:07:33.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of feeling like a potential contender, not a favor by any stretch, but someone that I think, unlike last year, is at least in the conversation this time around.

01:07:34.722 --> 01:07:43.185
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very easy to get how inexperienced she actually is, because she does feel like she should be like a four-year veteran.

01:07:43.325 --> 01:07:47.267
[SPEAKER_01]: You said five, I'd say like a four-year veteran when she's not even two years into the business.

01:07:47.287 --> 01:07:50.328
[SPEAKER_01]: She debuted at the November, twenty, twenty-three.

01:07:51.028 --> 01:07:52.970
[SPEAKER_01]: Which I went on was writing in the guide.

01:07:53.010 --> 01:07:57.976
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to double check because I was doing the math and that's that's less than two years.

01:07:58.297 --> 01:08:11.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Like what it feels like along to years when you factor everything that she's been through with what happened with start a memory garden all that but like for all of the things that she tries and experiments with like

01:08:12.332 --> 01:08:15.196
[SPEAKER_01]: It shows how little fear she has as a performer.

01:08:15.256 --> 01:08:16.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that could be a dangerous thing.

01:08:16.798 --> 01:08:23.968
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't always work, but like she's finding things that works for her and that's helping her stand out and unique things.

01:08:24.028 --> 01:08:25.911
[SPEAKER_01]: And when you look at wrestlers in Margo,

01:08:27.087 --> 01:08:32.169
[SPEAKER_01]: As much as she borrowed from my return, there's no one in marriage or quite like Victoria Yaziki.

01:08:32.710 --> 01:08:41.594
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's important in defining yourself in a young promotion as a young wrestler in a young promotion filled with young high prospect wrestlers.

01:08:41.994 --> 01:08:44.135
[SPEAKER_01]: You need something that's going to make you stand out.

01:08:44.215 --> 01:08:46.416
[SPEAKER_01]: And when you are a one of one wrestler like that,

01:08:47.148 --> 01:08:58.094
[SPEAKER_01]: Who borrows from someone as great as my, but who can still feel unique enough, who has their own personalities and relationships with people like you, Tommy, and people like Kizuna, to knock on all that.

01:08:58.134 --> 01:08:59.574
[SPEAKER_01]: That's important for her.

01:08:59.594 --> 01:09:01.655
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be very exciting.

01:09:01.675 --> 01:09:03.056
[SPEAKER_01]: As she said, it feels like a perfect block.

01:09:03.076 --> 01:09:06.458
[SPEAKER_01]: He got the Tommy's, the myose, the young man I got that she's working with.

01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:10.840
[SPEAKER_01]: Hunter Hard to picture a better, built block.

01:09:11.499 --> 01:09:14.721
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like maybe you moved Charlie out and put someone else in.

01:09:15.261 --> 01:09:19.043
[SPEAKER_01]: That's about, oh, you could do to make this a better block for her.

01:09:20.624 --> 01:09:21.664
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be very exciting.

01:09:22.104 --> 01:09:26.626
[SPEAKER_01]: You would expect her to be three, four on the block when it's all set and done.

01:09:28.652 --> 01:09:41.619
[SPEAKER_01]: The only downside is, yeah, she can't get a, you know, a national championship match out of this unless she wins all the thing, but if by this time next year, she's entering the tournament as the white belt champion, would you be surprised?

01:09:41.919 --> 01:09:43.580
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially if this is a good tournament for it.

01:09:44.260 --> 01:09:45.741
[SPEAKER_00]: I would not even a little.

01:09:46.061 --> 01:09:49.143
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think the more

01:09:50.535 --> 01:09:53.556
[SPEAKER_00]: you think about the more that makes sense in many ways.

01:09:53.956 --> 01:10:02.020
[SPEAKER_00]: Her writing to that level, again, restfuls do interviews to tell you, this is truly what I want to do next.

01:10:02.140 --> 01:10:03.580
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think they hide that.

01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:07.362
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's very fascinating for her, for her, for her, for Victoria Yuzuki.

01:10:07.522 --> 01:10:10.103
[SPEAKER_00]: It's another year of growth, another year of improvement.

01:10:10.523 --> 01:10:13.745
[SPEAKER_00]: She's someone who continuously adds to her arsenal as well.

01:10:15.045 --> 01:10:17.406
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to use this term to see what works and what doesn't.

01:10:17.426 --> 01:10:20.768
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what she does every single time out there in a new match.

01:10:21.488 --> 01:10:27.131
[SPEAKER_00]: She just added a new victory shooting, which is like this weird corkscrew thing, just because she can.

01:10:27.151 --> 01:10:31.113
[SPEAKER_01]: And like, you want that a couple of times to work out what it was.

01:10:31.153 --> 01:10:31.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:10:31.353 --> 01:10:33.954
[SPEAKER_01]: It looked like a glitch, you know, like a video game.

01:10:34.254 --> 01:10:44.241
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was like that in the slam she did it right before I was like those are both brand new moves that you've just decided I want to debut these right before the tournament so you're welcome.

01:10:45.142 --> 01:10:48.024
[SPEAKER_00]: So be interesting to see how those go, but I'm very excited for her.

01:10:48.044 --> 01:10:53.467
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, tournament and you want to hit us with that record obviously she was a champion this year.

01:10:53.527 --> 01:10:54.788
[SPEAKER_00]: So should be pretty good.

01:10:54.808 --> 01:10:55.729
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a pretty good record.

01:10:56.229 --> 01:10:57.971
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven wins for losses one draw.

01:10:58.032 --> 01:11:02.617
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously the one draw was to say, Emma Oaker, one of the losses to my returning.

01:11:02.637 --> 01:11:04.880
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, all things are pretty good record.

01:11:05.240 --> 01:11:09.886
[SPEAKER_01]: And the champion obviously you have racked up quite a few wins as you'll notice as we go on.

01:11:09.946 --> 01:11:16.033
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, these are the kind of top tier numbers that you can expect as we're moving to the top end of the block.

01:11:17.552 --> 01:11:32.100
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we continue on the dream league to the woman that retired from the five-star Grand Prix a year ago and has walked in to the dream star Grand Prix and that of course is Maui Uutani last year's five-star Grand Prix MVP.

01:11:32.660 --> 01:11:38.443
[SPEAKER_00]: She was now entering the Marigold tournaments for the first time in her career.

01:11:38.823 --> 01:11:43.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course as the super fly champion, I mean,

01:11:44.698 --> 01:11:48.983
[SPEAKER_00]: This is this is a lot of the reason people will be checking out this tournament.

01:11:49.043 --> 01:11:52.467
[SPEAKER_00]: Mayu Tadi has obviously joined Marigolds.

01:11:52.527 --> 01:11:54.269
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, I'm going to be your savior.

01:11:54.429 --> 01:11:55.510
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be your ace.

01:11:55.711 --> 01:11:56.752
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be everything.

01:11:57.372 --> 01:12:02.779
[SPEAKER_00]: And she has lived by those words since the moment she joins this company has taken off.

01:12:03.219 --> 01:12:08.121
[SPEAKER_00]: since the icon made her statement and joined this company.

01:12:08.141 --> 01:12:15.063
[SPEAKER_00]: They've taken off to new levels and she seems happier than ever to be in this promotion.

01:12:15.403 --> 01:12:19.184
[SPEAKER_00]: And you look at this block and you want to talk about blocks made for someone.

01:12:19.224 --> 01:12:26.127
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a block made for my you to get a lay of the land in many ways in this promotion, right?

01:12:27.847 --> 01:12:29.428
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you look at the other side.

01:12:31.323 --> 01:12:34.825
[SPEAKER_00]: She's faced my soccer right before, she's faced my ride before.

01:12:35.345 --> 01:12:40.668
[SPEAKER_00]: Meas and Matsui became her favorite wrestler of all time after facing her for the butterfly championship, right?

01:12:41.168 --> 01:12:44.249
[SPEAKER_00]: This block, however, obviously there's Utah.

01:12:44.549 --> 01:12:47.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously there's a big history there between those two.

01:12:48.791 --> 01:12:51.573
[SPEAKER_00]: They've become great rivals over the years.

01:12:52.850 --> 01:12:54.190
[SPEAKER_00]: But then there's the rest.

01:12:55.071 --> 01:12:59.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, Victoria Zukin, her have a history, but it's still a very new history.

01:12:59.772 --> 01:13:03.573
[SPEAKER_00]: A history mind you that will be decided on the final night of this tournament.

01:13:04.093 --> 01:13:08.034
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll uh, my, you Tony versus Starlight kid once upon a time.

01:13:08.214 --> 01:13:10.634
[SPEAKER_00]: I said before this tournament ever started.

01:13:10.655 --> 01:13:14.315
[SPEAKER_00]: I said to you and I said to others, I really hope that's what they go for.

01:13:14.616 --> 01:13:16.136
[SPEAKER_00]: I really hope we just live up

01:13:16.922 --> 01:13:20.946
[SPEAKER_00]: That aspect because that was one of my favorite parts of the five-star Grand Prix every year.

01:13:20.966 --> 01:13:22.828
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh, by the way, my even started a kid.

01:13:22.868 --> 01:13:24.669
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're facing on the final night again.

01:13:24.689 --> 01:13:30.395
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, we're just a Victoria to forget to take a moscow, which actually is a fair chance of happening.

01:13:32.050 --> 01:13:33.011
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a myuism.

01:13:33.671 --> 01:13:35.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but they face off the final night.

01:13:35.693 --> 01:13:37.754
[SPEAKER_00]: And then from there, a lot of new.

01:13:38.275 --> 01:13:38.655
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

01:13:38.695 --> 01:13:47.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Kioski, Riaseto, Chiyaki, Kokimari, Sariyamioka, all new opponents for myu-yutani.

01:13:48.863 --> 01:13:53.466
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything she's done since the moment she's walked in, has felt with purpose, has felt with intent.

01:13:54.067 --> 01:13:57.089
[SPEAKER_00]: And now she enters the tournament doing just that.

01:13:58.988 --> 01:14:02.431
[SPEAKER_00]: She also has a match that she could go to along the way by the way.

01:14:02.511 --> 01:14:05.673
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a tournament match, but it is she could go to homecoming match.

01:14:05.693 --> 01:14:13.138
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like a little bonus, which is pretty cool, which is funny because like that's the one wrestler on the other side that feels like she should want her face, you know, brand new.

01:14:15.059 --> 01:14:19.523
[SPEAKER_00]: But obviously, my use tournament is a highly, highly exciting one.

01:14:20.664 --> 01:14:26.749
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very, very, very, very capable land, a lay of the land of harder winning.

01:14:26.769 --> 01:14:31.653
[SPEAKER_00]: Another tournament MVP as she often is in the conversation of each and every year.

01:14:32.394 --> 01:14:33.955
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is going to be very different for her, too.

01:14:34.115 --> 01:14:35.997
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she's facing a lot of young wrestlers.

01:14:36.417 --> 01:14:38.019
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a very good chance she loses.

01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:39.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe one match.

01:14:40.281 --> 01:14:41.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe she loses to her Tommy.

01:14:42.171 --> 01:14:51.557
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe, and then maybe a draw here or there, you know, maybe she'll get one draw one lost, but otherwise, it feels like her block on paper.

01:14:51.577 --> 01:14:54.179
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see if it ultimately is hers in the end.

01:14:54.859 --> 01:14:59.342
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, she has many things she wants to do with that super fly championship.

01:15:00.443 --> 01:15:04.006
[SPEAKER_00]: She's finding it's re-aminaka right before the tournament.

01:15:04.086 --> 01:15:07.448
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, of course, she has her eyes set on me a moment on as well.

01:15:08.248 --> 01:15:26.594
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a me, my you Tony fan, if you're a marigold fan, if you are a Josie fan, this tournament this entry is as exciting as it gets because this is why she's here to elevate everyone along the way and the promotion itself through her very own work.

01:15:28.318 --> 01:15:43.936
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have fun doing it as well and that's kind of being one of the best things about watching Marigoldy's past few months is just seeing the smile on her face as she's coming through as she's interacting with all the different wrestlers you can tell like there's a genuine happiness being involved in this promotion.

01:15:46.563 --> 01:15:47.883
[SPEAKER_01]: What is that to say?

01:15:48.264 --> 01:16:15.383
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a tournament debut for her which is wild to say because I've been doing tournament previews around this time of year for six years now and I've always been writing about my returning because she's always been in the tournaments but this is the first time she's been in this specific tournament and there's so many exciting possibilities that are coming from this because there's so many unique matchups and even the matchups that

01:16:15.823 --> 01:16:21.907
[SPEAKER_01]: have happened before, the Tommy match, the Victoria Yzeeky match, there's different things that play.

01:16:22.027 --> 01:16:34.094
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously Victoria Yzeeky is growing a lot since starting and they had that match at the paper view, but even now, like just a little bit later, like there's a lot different that play at the Fallon Art of Atonement.

01:16:34.474 --> 01:16:35.875
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, she's coming in as a champion.

01:16:35.915 --> 01:16:41.917
[SPEAKER_01]: There's probably going to be a win and advance, lose or draw and maybe you don't advance.

01:16:41.977 --> 01:16:45.498
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a very different scenario than just a championship match.

01:16:45.958 --> 01:16:47.999
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, you know, she's coming in.

01:16:48.019 --> 01:16:55.222
[SPEAKER_01]: The timing kind of wasn't that exciting as a champion her first few months and kind of felt like my coming in.

01:16:56.284 --> 01:17:24.288
[SPEAKER_01]: kick drop the bum a bit to be like I need to step up again and remind everyone that my might be super exciting and everyone's pumped to see her but I'm the ace on the top champion don't forget about me and this is her chance for a mind everyone that I'm the top wrestler in this company I have the top belt all these things make the stories with informants interesting and that's what makes my you being in Marigold so interesting you have to step up you cannot just be

01:17:25.015 --> 01:17:31.537
[SPEAKER_01]: and another person around when it comes to my, because if anyone is going to determine, are you worth it or not?

01:17:33.018 --> 01:17:38.699
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, my is going to go back to Rossi and say, I like this person or she's just going to say it out loud.

01:17:38.739 --> 01:17:42.100
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, I don't think she keeps it secret.

01:17:42.140 --> 01:17:42.620
[SPEAKER_00]: She says it.

01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:43.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:17:43.261 --> 01:17:43.761
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wow.

01:17:44.681 --> 01:17:46.322
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I didn't know who you were.

01:17:46.482 --> 01:17:46.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?

01:17:47.162 --> 01:17:48.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Why are you not talked about more?

01:17:48.662 --> 01:17:53.844
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guarantee there's going to be one or two people at the end of this tournament where my is going to be like,

01:17:54.529 --> 01:17:56.690
[SPEAKER_01]: Why were you not more aware?

01:17:56.971 --> 01:17:58.331
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's going to lift those people up.

01:17:58.492 --> 01:18:00.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Hell, Iranian Yamanaka.

01:18:00.133 --> 01:18:12.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently, is far more awesome than even I realized, because my view that she was on my side, and like I was aware of her and I'm like, you're kind of, you're good, but if she's on my side, then I need to pay more attention to it.

01:18:13.461 --> 01:18:14.101
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very simple.

01:18:14.762 --> 01:18:19.485
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's find out what's been underrating throughout the course of this tournament.

01:18:21.196 --> 01:18:25.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the icon is here to put some people on the map alongside her matches.

01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:31.344
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's again, the most exciting part about her tournament other than the fact that she is here.

01:18:31.364 --> 01:18:37.549
[SPEAKER_00]: In tournament action, you know, she had arguably heard greatest tournament run ever just a year ago.

01:18:38.110 --> 01:18:39.291
[SPEAKER_00]: Said, you know what, I'm done.

01:18:39.331 --> 01:18:40.492
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm done with the tournament.

01:18:40.512 --> 01:18:41.733
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to do it anymore.

01:18:41.813 --> 01:18:44.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Then instantly, you know, I'm back.

01:18:45.223 --> 01:18:45.843
[SPEAKER_00]: happy to be here.

01:18:45.864 --> 01:19:02.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I don't know how many more words I could say about my who that I haven't said already in terms of my overall excitement and happiness of her being here to begin with because you can just see the genuine happiness on her face.

01:19:02.796 --> 01:19:12.724
[SPEAKER_00]: I cover that pretty pretty in depth during that week of madness that she had obviously, but I mean, you don't have to go that far back to see what

01:19:13.364 --> 01:19:16.589
[SPEAKER_00]: but some of her greatest matches are just this year.

01:19:16.649 --> 01:19:18.912
[SPEAKER_00]: She's still wrestling any wrestler at the year level.

01:19:19.353 --> 01:19:21.696
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's for what it's worth.

01:19:22.498 --> 01:19:26.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Second, in my total list, which is pretty impressive, considering

01:19:28.073 --> 01:19:36.938
[SPEAKER_00]: One could debate that she was just kind of waiting around for the first couple months of the year, waiting, I was like, you know, someone could take this belt for me.

01:19:36.998 --> 01:19:37.899
[SPEAKER_00]: And now she's here.

01:19:38.059 --> 01:19:38.779
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she's ready.

01:19:39.440 --> 01:19:46.383
[SPEAKER_00]: And now she is in a prime position to potentially win this entire tournament as you expect.

01:19:46.964 --> 01:19:50.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Trent, give me that singles record for the icon, the greatest of all time.

01:19:50.766 --> 01:19:52.027
[SPEAKER_00]: When's one loss?

01:19:52.247 --> 01:19:57.510
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think loss of coal is going to the former IWGP Williams champion in Sherry.

01:19:58.991 --> 01:20:25.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I had to basically injure herself to win that match against my or say pretty much pretty much but I'll record for my you I don't think so be adding many blemishes to the lost column here in this tournament, but our final entry into the dream league is none other than the first ever dream stock brand pre winner just a year ago and of course the reigning world champion

01:20:27.215 --> 01:20:28.035
[SPEAKER_00]: Tommy Hachish stuff.

01:20:30.537 --> 01:20:32.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Tommy is a great tournament wrestler.

01:20:33.138 --> 01:20:35.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is when she is just like, she's on.

01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:37.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is her game.

01:20:37.601 --> 01:20:46.646
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, because like, you know, I think a lot of people who may not always be Tommy fans want her to wrestling, maybe a speedier match.

01:20:47.626 --> 01:20:49.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's a fifteen minute time limit.

01:20:49.367 --> 01:20:50.308
[SPEAKER_00]: You have no other choice.

01:20:52.509 --> 01:20:55.431
[SPEAKER_00]: I often want them in the time it takes to watch it to kill me match.

01:20:57.010 --> 01:20:57.610
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

01:20:58.411 --> 01:21:02.453
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite utami match in Margo that wasn't against E.O.

01:21:02.493 --> 01:21:08.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Sky to be fair here might have been the final last year against my soccer right.

01:21:08.796 --> 01:21:14.299
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a fantastic final that left me saying utami's back.

01:21:15.299 --> 01:21:19.164
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously the first few months of her title reign weren't what everyone hoped for.

01:21:19.625 --> 01:21:29.337
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they were, they were what the, it was what it was, but between the Mirai match and the Takumi match, and ultimately just a lot of her tag team matches.

01:21:29.377 --> 01:21:29.798
[SPEAKER_00]: She's been in.

01:21:30.839 --> 01:21:35.662
[SPEAKER_00]: are probably the best tag team performer in mario since it's start.

01:21:35.762 --> 01:21:37.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you'll go back to the fields forever.

01:21:38.344 --> 01:21:40.506
[SPEAKER_00]: Margo fields forever show, right?

01:21:40.546 --> 01:21:41.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Like she was in that main event.

01:21:42.547 --> 01:21:50.332
[SPEAKER_00]: She was she's should bump her ass off for everyone and you know, just kind of playing the role she needed to and she just continuously does that.

01:21:50.952 --> 01:21:54.335
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no fear whatsoever that her Tommy's gonna

01:21:54.975 --> 01:21:56.656
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that have a great tournament.

01:21:56.776 --> 01:22:02.499
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this tournament and the skill sets within this tournament and in this block are going to do a lot of good with her.

01:22:02.939 --> 01:22:04.920
[SPEAKER_00]: Her and Yuzuuki have great chemistry.

01:22:05.260 --> 01:22:08.542
[SPEAKER_00]: Her and Maya you have fantastic chemistry and

01:22:09.802 --> 01:22:14.466
[SPEAKER_00]: I think like someone like a Siri, I'm a yoke and her style will work very well with a Tommy.

01:22:14.506 --> 01:22:16.908
[SPEAKER_00]: Tommy's just going to serve as the base for a lot of people.

01:22:17.248 --> 01:22:18.309
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to bump a lot.

01:22:18.349 --> 01:22:21.792
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to make a lot of people look good because that's what she does best ultimately.

01:22:22.432 --> 01:22:25.595
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's that's why that's when I look back into Kumi match.

01:22:25.715 --> 01:22:31.700
[SPEAKER_00]: I call it one of the Tommy's best performances because she was there too sell and sell and sell, you know, like

01:22:32.360 --> 01:22:38.163
[SPEAKER_00]: that she was what really I thought kept that match together was her selling from start to finish.

01:22:39.483 --> 01:22:41.584
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she'll face, thank you for the first time ever.

01:22:41.604 --> 01:22:42.485
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll face her yummy.

01:22:42.505 --> 01:22:44.365
[SPEAKER_00]: Yoke for the first time ever in single matches.

01:22:44.406 --> 01:22:50.148
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, those kind of jump off the page there and are very exciting nonetheless.

01:22:50.188 --> 01:22:54.190
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the parvours to say, Ree, you know, that was one of the matches I wanted.

01:22:54.250 --> 01:22:58.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Will they protect that in this tournament that feels, you know, the

01:22:59.745 --> 01:23:05.006
[SPEAKER_00]: The true super rookie versus the new super rookie, you know, that's kind of a massive match.

01:23:05.066 --> 01:23:05.706
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very exciting.

01:23:05.746 --> 01:23:06.787
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll be happening here.

01:23:07.847 --> 01:23:19.169
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just hyped through Tommy because I think this is the tournament where she's, you know, gonna say this kindly, but that's a lot of people up, you know, like, just it just feels that way.

01:23:19.489 --> 01:23:20.250
[SPEAKER_00]: It really does.

01:23:20.910 --> 01:23:26.511
[SPEAKER_00]: And knowing her, like, she's gonna see that match with Chiyaki as an opportunity to have fun along the way, you know, like,

01:23:27.657 --> 01:23:33.921
[SPEAKER_00]: Who told you when she just kind of gets to do these tournament things she can have a great rod and I look at that my sock right match last year is the ultimate.

01:23:34.982 --> 01:23:37.083
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what she can do in the tournament setting.

01:23:37.103 --> 01:23:39.105
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what she will do in the tournament setting.

01:23:39.445 --> 01:23:40.265
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm very excited.

01:23:41.706 --> 01:23:45.229
[SPEAKER_00]: Before I have Trent go here's you know important matches.

01:23:45.249 --> 01:23:51.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Current Victoria is who he opened up this tournament probably with the main event of that very first show on the opening day.

01:23:52.958 --> 01:24:01.284
[SPEAKER_00]: She then faces Rhea Setto on the nightcap at the cork and also that isn't the final she faces none other than my U.E.

01:24:01.304 --> 01:24:05.066
[SPEAKER_00]: with Tony in what will be the main event of that show.

01:24:05.126 --> 01:24:06.687
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we have to debate that one.

01:24:07.027 --> 01:24:09.769
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the final night, she gets to face Koki Amara.

01:24:09.809 --> 01:24:12.391
[SPEAKER_00]: So that will be a very important match for those two as well.

01:24:12.831 --> 01:24:15.193
[SPEAKER_00]: But Trent, you've always been in your Tommy fan.

01:24:15.233 --> 01:24:16.794
[SPEAKER_00]: You've never given up on a Tommy.

01:24:16.814 --> 01:24:18.055
[SPEAKER_00]: You've always believed

01:24:19.436 --> 01:24:23.418
[SPEAKER_00]: How are you feeling ahead of her dream star campaign?

01:24:24.699 --> 01:24:26.920
[SPEAKER_01]: She's been ramping up all year.

01:24:27.641 --> 01:24:30.663
[SPEAKER_01]: I've mentioned the slow start that she had as a champion.

01:24:31.423 --> 01:24:33.525
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you can look at the booking as much as anything.

01:24:34.653 --> 01:24:39.336
[SPEAKER_01]: tank is the first opponent, you're not exactly swinging from the fences from day one.

01:24:39.436 --> 01:24:40.777
[SPEAKER_01]: And we've talked about it as well.

01:24:40.817 --> 01:24:45.941
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the first few months felt like it was built around the night, not about the champion.

01:24:46.582 --> 01:24:59.451
[SPEAKER_01]: And the moment that they were like, let's give you a proper build and a proper sort of the opponent and a proper platform, which was Mori, they hit it out the park, quite literally they were swinging for the fences with their arms.

01:25:00.694 --> 01:25:06.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Each week I felt like they were having mass watch tag matches and that match was fantastic.

01:25:07.177 --> 01:25:10.999
[SPEAKER_01]: And then her involvement with Tukumi has been just exhilarating.

01:25:11.019 --> 01:25:19.023
[SPEAKER_01]: I know the fifty-six minute match is not to everyone's tastes in terms of a great deal.

01:25:20.123 --> 01:25:27.847
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I personally did really enjoy that match, but if you don't like watching fifty-six minute sending in a double knockout, good news.

01:25:28.595 --> 01:25:34.941
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not going to happen in this tournament except for maybe the final and even then I think you can bet money on it not being a double knockout.

01:25:35.561 --> 01:25:40.026
[SPEAKER_01]: As I said, after the tournament you'll be able to watch within that same time period.

01:25:41.367 --> 01:25:44.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the time he works so well in this situation because

01:25:45.457 --> 01:25:46.757
[SPEAKER_01]: It does work to her strengths.

01:25:46.898 --> 01:25:53.420
[SPEAKER_01]: Like she can pack a lot into a short amount of time, but she's also really good at giving to her opponents.

01:25:53.740 --> 01:25:58.561
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's not afraid to make a younger, rookie kind of a opponent look good.

01:25:59.122 --> 01:26:05.544
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think a lot of that probably does go back to when she was a younger, a lot of people gave to her as a rookie.

01:26:05.624 --> 01:26:09.545
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think she kind of appreciates how rare and healthy.

01:26:10.131 --> 01:26:14.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, lucky she was in that respect and she wants to give back in that regard.

01:26:14.074 --> 01:26:17.877
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, she's in with a lot of young rookies, a lot of high prospect rookies.

01:26:18.398 --> 01:26:19.959
[SPEAKER_01]: I expect her to make them look good.

01:26:20.836 --> 01:26:27.557
[SPEAKER_01]: and then dish it out in return to remind everyone that she is the world of Marigold Champion and do what she needs to do.

01:26:28.057 --> 01:26:39.640
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you've got the Mayumatch, which as you said, every time they step in the ring, they just have the best chemistry, it goes back all the way to when she beat Mayu for the championship.

01:26:40.720 --> 01:26:45.401
[SPEAKER_01]: Even before then when May won the five-star Grand Prix, remember that tournament.

01:26:46.501 --> 01:26:50.062
[SPEAKER_01]: When you know, utami was in the very beginning of a super-algae room.

01:26:50.742 --> 01:27:03.099
[SPEAKER_01]: these two just keep building on their chemistry like every time they've got into the ring I swear they've had a better and better match and I think now in Marigold they're kind of going to be even more motivated because this feels like their promotion

01:27:03.884 --> 01:27:18.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Not just an extension of a larger company, I think they probably feel more ownership towards marijuana and that gives them all the more reason in the main event of the Hurricane Hall, which is kind of there, the main base for them again to kind of go out and deliver.

01:27:19.434 --> 01:27:26.138
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think this is, as you said, will be a good chance to hurt a showcase every one on the best side of your time, you want more.

01:27:27.305 --> 01:27:30.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was thinking it's very important for Tommy's tournament.

01:27:31.129 --> 01:27:34.552
[SPEAKER_00]: She's pretty much August until the final day.

01:27:34.713 --> 01:27:39.618
[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll kind of know what her standing is and where she's sitting heading into that final day.

01:27:40.366 --> 01:27:42.107
[SPEAKER_00]: before September even comes around.

01:27:42.167 --> 01:27:45.288
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's a very interesting part of her tournament as well.

01:27:46.168 --> 01:27:49.949
[SPEAKER_00]: At the World Champion, especially, but I'm very excited for Tommy.

01:27:50.189 --> 01:27:51.410
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll always root for Tommy.

01:27:52.890 --> 01:27:58.832
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked a little lot for a lot of those wrestlers that they're feeling out pointing against my you.

01:27:59.313 --> 01:28:00.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Still a lot of fresh matchups here.

01:28:00.873 --> 01:28:02.274
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going at the World Champion.

01:28:03.054 --> 01:28:05.855
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think one of Tommy's best strengths are

01:28:07.278 --> 01:28:07.598
[SPEAKER_00]: giving.

01:28:08.098 --> 01:28:15.160
[SPEAKER_00]: She's very giving to younger wrestlers like you said, and I think she's going to give a lot to a lot of these young wrestlers.

01:28:15.180 --> 01:28:16.420
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm very excited for that.

01:28:17.501 --> 01:28:20.481
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure she's a pretty great single record this year.

01:28:20.761 --> 01:28:23.362
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm here.

01:28:23.762 --> 01:28:25.603
[SPEAKER_00]: And wins zero losses one draw.

01:28:28.472 --> 01:28:29.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Their loss is very notable.

01:28:30.274 --> 01:28:39.143
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd say that into the tournament, excited to see maybe who could throw her off looking at that August thirty at date as a big one.

01:28:40.404 --> 01:28:42.606
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that is the dream league.

01:28:42.646 --> 01:28:45.089
[SPEAKER_00]: We only took an hour to do that.

01:28:45.790 --> 01:28:46.310
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's

01:28:47.251 --> 01:28:49.473
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, dive into a Star League.

01:28:49.654 --> 01:28:56.761
[SPEAKER_00]: The Star League, of course, if you forgot, which understand the Boltzmann an hour since we talked about any of these wrestlers, got my soccer.

01:28:56.801 --> 01:28:58.142
[SPEAKER_00]: I make you out of my right.

01:28:58.202 --> 01:29:00.485
[SPEAKER_00]: You could go to because you're not going to knock at me some at Sui.

01:29:00.785 --> 01:29:03.108
[SPEAKER_00]: The reason I was acting in Chandler, I'm going to terrified.

01:29:03.168 --> 01:29:04.309
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want this to go because

01:29:04.749 --> 01:29:08.131
[SPEAKER_00]: All these wrestlers arguably might deserve more time overall.

01:29:08.252 --> 01:29:11.033
[SPEAKER_00]: So here we go with the very first.

01:29:11.053 --> 01:29:13.395
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to talk about for ages.

01:29:13.455 --> 01:29:14.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't you worry about that.

01:29:14.816 --> 01:29:16.417
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not at all.

01:29:16.837 --> 01:29:18.719
[SPEAKER_00]: And it might not even be the one people expect.

01:29:18.819 --> 01:29:19.759
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the crazy part.

01:29:20.220 --> 01:29:22.141
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's head into the star league now.

01:29:22.401 --> 01:29:23.222
[SPEAKER_00]: Starting with.

01:29:24.252 --> 01:29:33.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Chan Yoda, Chan Yoda, answers her very first, it's hernament, uh, I believe ever in terms of a round rob and tournament that is.

01:29:34.016 --> 01:29:35.797
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, she's got some bodybuilding tournaments.

01:29:35.917 --> 01:29:38.298
[SPEAKER_00]: They might have been around the world and I have that all right.

01:29:38.778 --> 01:29:39.538
[SPEAKER_00]: That's very true.

01:29:39.558 --> 01:29:40.139
[SPEAKER_00]: That's very true.

01:29:40.179 --> 01:29:46.961
[SPEAKER_00]: She's also just in the evolution, uh, tournament, uh, she got to the semi finals, but that was a bracket style.

01:29:47.121 --> 01:29:48.022
[SPEAKER_00]: That's neither here nor there.

01:29:48.422 --> 01:29:50.763
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, I'm very excited for Chan Yoda to the tournament.

01:29:50.783 --> 01:29:51.563
[SPEAKER_00]: She was one name.

01:29:52.144 --> 01:29:52.724
[SPEAKER_00]: That was hoping.

01:29:53.304 --> 01:29:55.565
[SPEAKER_00]: was like, get Chen Yota in this.

01:29:56.305 --> 01:30:07.229
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, for the past couple years, obviously since Chen Yota kind of came into the mainstream Josie circle, right, doing the new blood shows once upon a time.

01:30:07.249 --> 01:30:16.952
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people just said, if she stays with wrestling, there's something here, because she just has a lot of natural abilities, obviously super powerful.

01:30:17.652 --> 01:30:18.793
[SPEAKER_00]: There's something here, and

01:30:20.313 --> 01:30:22.755
[SPEAKER_00]: When Marigold started changing, she wasn't around.

01:30:22.775 --> 01:30:25.437
[SPEAKER_00]: She was doing a lot of bodybuilding this time last year.

01:30:26.598 --> 01:30:27.859
[SPEAKER_00]: So she wasn't in.

01:30:27.879 --> 01:30:32.243
[SPEAKER_00]: And then once she came around, it just kind of felt like a lift off.

01:30:32.383 --> 01:30:34.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she feels like she's part of this roster.

01:30:36.146 --> 01:30:43.652
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, whether it be her connection with my soccer eye, whether it just be her wanting to be a champion in this promotion.

01:30:43.692 --> 01:30:49.637
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of her continuous ask is I want to hold gold in Marigold.

01:30:50.317 --> 01:30:53.978
[SPEAKER_00]: I may not be a part of it, but in many ways, I feel like a part of it.

01:30:54.338 --> 01:31:06.081
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's a really cool aspect for her, obviously, you know, she obviously belongs to PPP Tokyo, but in many ways, she is a margo wrestler and continues to be just that.

01:31:06.781 --> 01:31:16.564
[SPEAKER_00]: She feels the role that was Nori's last year in many ways as the outsider that may be a lot of people don't know too too much about, but she's going to impress.

01:31:19.078 --> 01:31:23.339
[SPEAKER_00]: and they gave her a block that is going to fit her skill set very, very well.

01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:31.662
[SPEAKER_00]: You instantly look at September, Fourteenth against Mariah, and you just dream of these two running as hard as they can into each other with Larry.

01:31:31.702 --> 01:31:33.083
[SPEAKER_00]: It turned like, all right.

01:31:33.143 --> 01:31:33.543
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

01:31:33.963 --> 01:31:37.404
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate the ten-minute slug fest that you guys just gave us.

01:31:37.464 --> 01:31:39.285
[SPEAKER_00]: We greatly appreciate it.

01:31:40.665 --> 01:31:42.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Jan, you're just gonna surprise a lot of people in this turn, right?

01:31:42.926 --> 01:31:44.246
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's my best way to say this.

01:31:44.366 --> 01:31:46.467
[SPEAKER_00]: She is going to have some matches where you're like,

01:31:48.844 --> 01:31:56.047
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and they, they weren't, you know, they didn't go weak with her matches by any means.

01:31:56.548 --> 01:32:02.570
[SPEAKER_00]: On the opening day, she faces, she faces, because it's an aqua, but my soccer on that very first show.

01:32:02.630 --> 01:32:04.872
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a big matchup at the Corican Hall show.

01:32:05.032 --> 01:32:08.493
[SPEAKER_00]: She faces Mikuano, and at the final, she faces Mike.

01:32:08.613 --> 01:32:12.255
[SPEAKER_00]: She is in major major matches, which might tell you very early.

01:32:12.475 --> 01:32:14.056
[SPEAKER_00]: She's gonna have a pretty good run.

01:32:14.956 --> 01:32:18.997
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that she might be someone that could take Mariah out at the end.

01:32:19.457 --> 01:32:20.577
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's very notable.

01:32:20.617 --> 01:32:24.838
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that she's facing me, you want to on a cork in, and of course, opening the day with my sock, right?

01:32:24.878 --> 01:32:28.639
[SPEAKER_00]: All, you know, the three biggest events I'd say of this entire tournament.

01:32:29.859 --> 01:32:30.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm hyped for Chen Yoda.

01:32:30.959 --> 01:32:33.120
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's going to really crush it.

01:32:33.860 --> 01:32:39.921
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I think she's just going to be someone that makes a lot of fans along the way through this tournament.

01:32:41.745 --> 01:32:51.213
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not just about her getting big matches on big shows, which is one of my to look at it, but it's the fact that these other key wrestlers in the blocks are getting their big matches.

01:32:52.273 --> 01:32:56.356
[SPEAKER_01]: The the shot big shows are the matches against our chanota.

01:32:56.417 --> 01:33:01.200
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's kind of what's really noticeable is they're getting these kind of highlight matches against her.

01:33:01.220 --> 01:33:08.286
[SPEAKER_01]: And it says that she's going to have an impact that she's probably going to ruin one of their tournaments, where it's not one.

01:33:09.026 --> 01:33:11.748
[SPEAKER_01]: Currican against Diana or the final night against Mariah.

01:33:12.049 --> 01:33:13.690
[SPEAKER_01]: She's probably gonna ruin one of them.

01:33:13.870 --> 01:33:15.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Could be her best friend in my saccharide.

01:33:16.112 --> 01:33:18.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Could be the house off hard to predict.

01:33:19.455 --> 01:33:24.358
[SPEAKER_01]: But because she's in that midfield too, she's been pretty well protected in Marigold.

01:33:24.438 --> 01:33:28.181
[SPEAKER_01]: Like she doesn't take a lot of losses unless she's in kind of a total match.

01:33:28.221 --> 01:33:31.884
[SPEAKER_01]: And even then, like in the tag, total matches, she had in twin stars.

01:33:32.185 --> 01:33:33.526
[SPEAKER_01]: She wasn't the one who took the pinfall.

01:33:33.966 --> 01:33:35.787
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's very important to take note.

01:33:35.827 --> 01:33:36.348
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's

01:33:37.427 --> 01:33:38.407
[SPEAKER_01]: Rossi likes her.

01:33:38.427 --> 01:33:39.708
[SPEAKER_01]: She wants to protect her.

01:33:39.748 --> 01:33:43.429
[SPEAKER_01]: And that means that she's not going to be, she's not going to make up the numbers.

01:33:43.469 --> 01:33:46.771
[SPEAKER_01]: She's not there to give people wins against a big, strong, walking person.

01:33:47.611 --> 01:33:49.972
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to do some damage in this block most likely.

01:33:50.172 --> 01:34:00.336
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's been fun watching her progression because when she got back announced years ago in the new black shows, I think a lot of people thought she just here kind of as a bit of a gimmick.

01:34:00.416 --> 01:34:02.016
[SPEAKER_01]: People knew her from other jobs.

01:34:02.076 --> 01:34:04.277
[SPEAKER_01]: She did like fifty different things.

01:34:04.317 --> 01:34:06.398
[SPEAKER_01]: She had got to have her toes dipped in different waters.

01:34:07.178 --> 01:34:17.465
[SPEAKER_01]: But she kind of straight away kind of showed herself as someone with real potential and as she started to narrow down her outside activities and now just pretty much just focus on body building and pro wrestling.

01:34:17.925 --> 01:34:24.910
[SPEAKER_01]: You're seeing the fruits of that labor and you know it's benefiting her in the body building world and it's benefiting her in the pro wrestling world.

01:34:25.642 --> 01:34:36.087
[SPEAKER_01]: And hopefully, you know, this tournament, she racks up some really exciting matches that you can kind of hold as like someone comes and goes, oh, what's Chen Yoder about?

01:34:36.267 --> 01:34:38.768
[SPEAKER_01]: You can say, check out these matches from the tournament.

01:34:38.868 --> 01:34:42.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Just nice, easy, you know, just line off and go have fun, watch them.

01:34:43.891 --> 01:34:45.351
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.

01:34:47.422 --> 01:34:48.363
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a good point.

01:34:48.463 --> 01:34:51.405
[SPEAKER_00]: She might be like the easiest wrestler for someone to watch.

01:34:51.465 --> 01:34:53.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Just be like, here's some matches.

01:34:53.566 --> 01:34:53.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Check them out.

01:34:53.986 --> 01:34:55.127
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have a great time.

01:34:55.627 --> 01:34:56.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Played a book.

01:34:56.288 --> 01:35:00.490
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's not a story coming in like a lot of people, but sometimes that's fine.

01:35:00.630 --> 01:35:03.412
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, not everyone needs a in-depth story.

01:35:03.732 --> 01:35:06.734
[SPEAKER_01]: She's an outsider coming in put on some great matches.

01:35:07.114 --> 01:35:11.817
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe set up a total match if she was to beat my sacrifice, but if she doesn't, that's fine.

01:35:11.897 --> 01:35:15.380
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, this is all about just establishing herself in a good situation.

01:35:16.338 --> 01:35:24.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, I'm excited to see what she can do in her first overall tournament, giving that record.

01:35:25.907 --> 01:35:27.908
[SPEAKER_00]: She's right down the middle of foreign fall.

01:35:28.934 --> 01:35:46.146
[SPEAKER_00]: all right see so you know you never know what should you bring maybe she ends up for in three i could see that be her record ultimately in this year's tournament because it's got to be some people at the bottom in this league it's going to be tough but i don't think she's going to be one of them somehow next up

01:35:47.038 --> 01:36:00.743
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Negisanozaki, obviously not only an official member of the Marigold roster, she remains a freelance her, but she is just involved and has been on every single show for the most part since the very beginning.

01:36:01.343 --> 01:36:05.725
[SPEAKER_00]: And in many ways is the leader of darkness, a revolution.

01:36:05.745 --> 01:36:12.248
[SPEAKER_00]: Negisanozaki, when she is in there with the opponent that interests her, she can have some great matches.

01:36:12.328 --> 01:36:15.549
[SPEAKER_00]: I know a lot of people, you know, sometimes she takes off, honestly.

01:36:17.700 --> 01:36:21.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would you put, you know, everyone, this is what I like to say about the East and the Zaki.

01:36:21.462 --> 01:36:22.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's had a job before, right?

01:36:23.123 --> 01:36:25.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you like to go a hundred percent every night?

01:36:25.304 --> 01:36:25.524
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

01:36:26.484 --> 01:36:27.545
[SPEAKER_00]: No, exactly.

01:36:27.725 --> 01:36:28.925
[SPEAKER_00]: So, there you go.

01:36:29.025 --> 01:36:31.186
[SPEAKER_00]: But I love Nozaki.

01:36:31.406 --> 01:36:33.847
[SPEAKER_00]: She just, she has bring the fun vibe.

01:36:33.867 --> 01:36:38.029
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, her opening day, she has a match with my soccer eye on the night show.

01:36:38.129 --> 01:36:39.570
[SPEAKER_00]: That one will be one.

01:36:39.610 --> 01:36:41.171
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure she's very interested too.

01:36:41.431 --> 01:36:43.192
[SPEAKER_00]: You also look at the Sendai pitch show.

01:36:43.252 --> 01:36:45.533
[SPEAKER_00]: She will face Mariah as a, or

01:36:47.012 --> 01:36:54.574
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, she'll face Mariah, and then along the way, she also has the cork and haul show where she'll face go cheek.

01:36:54.634 --> 01:36:59.796
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's one that could be a little underrated, you know, the heel versus the ultimate underdog baby face.

01:36:59.836 --> 01:37:00.596
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be a lot of fun.

01:37:00.616 --> 01:37:03.277
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't find a way she faces her own faction mate.

01:37:03.857 --> 01:37:07.440
[SPEAKER_00]: and meet them at Sui, which could be an interesting story what we get there.

01:37:08.061 --> 01:37:10.483
[SPEAKER_00]: But Nuzaki is pretty much as advertised.

01:37:10.603 --> 01:37:14.266
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like you know what she's going to bring to the table, you know what she's going to be?

01:37:14.706 --> 01:37:20.851
[SPEAKER_00]: She may not have everyone's favorite tournament, but she's going to have some matches that you really enjoy because she's hard hitting and has a lot of fun.

01:37:21.232 --> 01:37:26.776
[SPEAKER_00]: Her own chain note, it could be a fun little back of fork too, you know, just kicks versus laryts.

01:37:26.876 --> 01:37:28.117
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all you really can ask for.

01:37:29.759 --> 01:37:30.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Nozaki is a veteran.

01:37:31.040 --> 01:37:32.201
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to have a good performance.

01:37:32.221 --> 01:37:33.902
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not going to take a lot of losses.

01:37:34.783 --> 01:37:42.730
[SPEAKER_00]: She might get the cube once or twice to me to give herself a loss, but hey, she's nozaki.

01:37:42.850 --> 01:37:43.991
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the funny thing with nozaki.

01:37:44.031 --> 01:37:45.092
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have much to say about her.

01:37:45.132 --> 01:37:46.473
[SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't have to prove herself.

01:37:46.553 --> 01:37:53.759
[SPEAKER_00]: She's just, you know, she's just the vet of the field in many ways and the top heel of the field.

01:37:55.041 --> 01:38:07.083
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she comes as advertised, you know, I think of the people in the tournament, you kind of are expecting the least to change when it comes to her and her matches and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

01:38:08.268 --> 01:38:16.110
[SPEAKER_01]: There are some matches here that you'll probably take off a little bit, but at the same time, like the block is nicely structured that there's not too many of those.

01:38:16.530 --> 01:38:18.571
[SPEAKER_01]: She's not going to take the night off against Mariah.

01:38:18.951 --> 01:38:22.012
[SPEAKER_01]: She's not going to take the night off against my saccharile, microwave, I don't know.

01:38:22.632 --> 01:38:24.612
[SPEAKER_01]: Not going to take the night off against Mesa Matsui.

01:38:25.092 --> 01:38:30.354
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think Chen Yota's really going to give her the choice to take the night off.

01:38:30.394 --> 01:38:35.035
[SPEAKER_01]: You're looking there and like, really the only match I'll be worried about as soon as Tanaka.

01:38:35.680 --> 01:38:36.961
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the old ring name.

01:38:37.001 --> 01:38:39.122
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah.

01:38:40.062 --> 01:38:43.064
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's not really too bad when it all comes down to it.

01:38:43.244 --> 01:38:43.604
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:38:44.285 --> 01:38:46.466
[SPEAKER_01]: It could be structured a lot worse in that respect.

01:38:46.526 --> 01:38:48.747
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, as you said, she has fun.

01:38:49.388 --> 01:38:56.251
[SPEAKER_01]: And as long as it's like you're not expecting matches, the tournament's out of her, I think you're going to be pretty happy with what you get.

01:38:56.391 --> 01:38:57.872
[SPEAKER_01]: They're fun, solid matches.

01:38:58.292 --> 01:39:00.254
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's good enough to know what she needs to do.

01:39:00.274 --> 01:39:00.894
[SPEAKER_01]: Because she is

01:39:01.663 --> 01:39:03.964
[SPEAKER_01]: The most experienced wrestler in this tournament.

01:39:04.865 --> 01:39:09.407
[SPEAKER_01]: She knows what to do, how to get the most out of it, how to look after her body.

01:39:09.427 --> 01:39:12.468
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the reality is these tournaments are off on people.

01:39:12.828 --> 01:39:14.629
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a common talking point.

01:39:15.069 --> 01:39:19.631
[SPEAKER_01]: Over the years has the various round-robin tournaments have been changing shape.

01:39:19.652 --> 01:39:21.913
[SPEAKER_01]: There's different blocks and lengths of times.

01:39:22.733 --> 01:39:27.315
[SPEAKER_01]: If you go one hundred and ten percent every single night, you do run certain risks.

01:39:27.415 --> 01:39:31.217
[SPEAKER_01]: And some of these wrestlers would probably benefit to talk to Miss Ark and say,

01:39:32.117 --> 01:39:32.798
[SPEAKER_01]: What do I do here?

01:39:32.858 --> 01:39:36.481
[SPEAKER_01]: How do I approach these certain situations to look after themselves?

01:39:36.501 --> 01:39:38.203
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just finding the right balance.

01:39:38.263 --> 01:39:42.687
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I think there's a good chance we find the right balance when Nizaki this time round.

01:39:43.628 --> 01:39:44.068
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.

01:39:44.168 --> 01:39:48.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she has a better tournament this year than she did last year, which will be really cool too.

01:39:49.874 --> 01:39:51.715
[SPEAKER_00]: What are singles record this year?

01:39:51.735 --> 01:39:55.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, singles record this year is not too much.

01:39:55.659 --> 01:39:56.520
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just two and one.

01:39:57.523 --> 01:39:59.964
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she, uh, she mostly stays in tags one night.

01:39:59.984 --> 01:40:05.486
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of people also forget that, uh, obviously she went through a pretty bad knee injury a few years ago.

01:40:06.007 --> 01:40:07.427
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, she missed a lot of time.

01:40:07.447 --> 01:40:10.108
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's also what led to her leaving processing wave.

01:40:10.508 --> 01:40:12.049
[SPEAKER_00]: She was their ace once upon a time.

01:40:12.149 --> 01:40:18.532
[SPEAKER_00]: So, uh, you know, she's been able to, uh, continue her career and be very strong in certain situations.

01:40:18.612 --> 01:40:22.473
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously I always rooting for her, but now we move on to.

01:40:23.814 --> 01:40:33.539
[SPEAKER_00]: Kazuna Tanaka, Kazuna Tanaka here, part of the young Margo crew, the one outside of the block without her.

01:40:33.559 --> 01:40:36.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I love Kazuna Tanaka.

01:40:36.320 --> 01:40:43.824
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she is someone who has a lot of potential and she's starting to really start to find it now that her injury was behind her.

01:40:44.664 --> 01:40:47.145
[SPEAKER_00]: exiting wave and all those different things, right?

01:40:47.186 --> 01:40:49.267
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, last year was a tough year for her.

01:40:49.387 --> 01:40:50.087
[SPEAKER_00]: Played it simple.

01:40:50.127 --> 01:40:55.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, she had a switch for motions and you can just see how much Marigold means to her.

01:40:56.311 --> 01:40:57.851
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched this interview that she did.

01:40:57.871 --> 01:41:05.276
[SPEAKER_00]: It was her and Yuzuki and then they were just at a restaurant they were talking and they asked her about like, what Marigold means?

01:41:05.336 --> 01:41:06.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Or she broke down crying.

01:41:06.536 --> 01:41:08.858
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, this is the ultimate baby face.

01:41:08.938 --> 01:41:11.539
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you can't boo, Kazurita.

01:41:11.599 --> 01:41:12.320
[SPEAKER_00]: He just can't.

01:41:13.180 --> 01:41:15.222
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not gonna have a lot of success in this block.

01:41:15.542 --> 01:41:22.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, she is, she's unfortunately destined for that last spot.

01:41:22.327 --> 01:41:30.854
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not, it's not her fault, you know, but, but I think for her, again, it's about growth.

01:41:30.934 --> 01:41:32.755
[SPEAKER_00]: It's about learning along the way.

01:41:34.096 --> 01:41:39.840
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that one when she might get is gonna be the moment of the, it could be the moment of the block.

01:41:39.901 --> 01:41:41.141
[SPEAKER_00]: If she beats like a nozaki,

01:41:42.003 --> 01:41:52.714
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like that type of thing, like if she beats in those ackey or just someone that you expect higher than her, which is everyone in this block, you know, that one wind is going to be a really cool moment.

01:41:53.154 --> 01:41:56.278
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're going to save it probably for one of the more notable shows too.

01:41:58.828 --> 01:42:09.036
[SPEAKER_00]: But like I said, she's now, she has a chance to face all these different veterans rather than, you know, what her counterparts are doing in the other league.

01:42:09.056 --> 01:42:11.318
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's very interesting for her.

01:42:12.279 --> 01:42:13.580
[SPEAKER_00]: But she's going to make strides.

01:42:13.860 --> 01:42:14.621
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to grow.

01:42:15.201 --> 01:42:24.588
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would not be shocked if we walk away from one of her matches and people were like, because it's not because you know, really bright future.

01:42:27.026 --> 01:42:38.855
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's some matchups, maybe the Mesa Matsui one kind of jumps out to me as like give those two a couple, you know, give those two ten eleven minutes just to kind of put their sauce together to be really good.

01:42:39.475 --> 01:42:42.558
[SPEAKER_00]: She's really broken out through the marvelous stuff, funny enough.

01:42:42.578 --> 01:42:53.065
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think anyone expected Kazuta Tanaka to be one of the real MVP's of any time those two sides face off, but her passion for Margo kind of jumps through on those.

01:42:54.146 --> 01:42:56.808
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for Kazuna to grow along the way.

01:42:57.008 --> 01:43:01.792
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not going to win a lot, but before I head it over to you, here's her opening night.

01:43:02.853 --> 01:43:06.836
[SPEAKER_00]: She will be facing Chan Yota and the Gisanosaki.

01:43:07.056 --> 01:43:07.716
[SPEAKER_00]: That's tough.

01:43:08.977 --> 01:43:10.939
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a tough go for her.

01:43:12.300 --> 01:43:17.264
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she does have matches on the cork in and the Shinjuku facial at the cork in.

01:43:18.004 --> 01:43:43.326
[SPEAKER_00]: chasing me some out silly that should be a fun little open I think between those two at Shinjuku face you get to be kimono so I think that's pretty notable for her could be her best match and at the cork in all shows she faces go chica so baby face versus baby face on that final night what are your thoughts on kizunutsu no obviously we talked a lot about the young margo crew and she's the final member of that crew in this tournament that we haven't got to talk about

01:43:45.118 --> 01:44:01.242
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that she's the odd one out in that respect that she's in this block and not the others because although she is part of young Marrago, I don't think she belongs in the same discussion as the others that in the dream block in terms of fighting in that same level.

01:44:01.302 --> 01:44:04.702
[SPEAKER_01]: She kind of has her own little world in that respect.

01:44:04.782 --> 01:44:07.423
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she's someone that's developing at a different pace.

01:44:07.463 --> 01:44:11.604
[SPEAKER_01]: She's targeting a different kind of archetype when it comes to being a wrestler.

01:44:12.084 --> 01:44:18.546
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to be an underdog that isn't going to necessarily win a lot of matches at the same pace.

01:44:18.566 --> 01:44:23.208
[SPEAKER_01]: She's almost like the nowish cala that has a higher upside moving forward.

01:44:23.508 --> 01:44:25.888
[SPEAKER_01]: The print on the dog will fight hard.

01:44:26.289 --> 01:44:32.231
[SPEAKER_01]: She'll go up against people fast, stronger than her and it's going to be her grit and determination and never say diet.

01:44:33.871 --> 01:44:47.685
[SPEAKER_01]: further than she probably has any right to and that's going to endure her very strongly to a lot of people and that's going to get her that win maybe maybe two in this tournament if things fall her way.

01:44:48.986 --> 01:44:55.673
[SPEAKER_01]: And to see what that's going to look like is you just have to look at the marvelous versus Marigold five on five

01:44:56.342 --> 01:45:19.447
[SPEAKER_01]: got little elimination that which I think if you point it one highlight that she's had through her Margo Chris I thought it's that she went in and she got half of her team's eliminations and she did that right off the bat and gave them really there on the hope of winning that because you knew Takumi was waiting at the end who could have just about solo that group if it wasn't for me going in the middle um

01:45:20.420 --> 01:45:22.141
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's just the reality of the situation.

01:45:23.702 --> 01:45:25.523
[SPEAKER_01]: She did such a great job there.

01:45:25.543 --> 01:45:28.065
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't just, oh, she was booked to get to Wins.

01:45:28.786 --> 01:45:30.327
[SPEAKER_01]: She looked fantastic there.

01:45:30.367 --> 01:45:45.477
[SPEAKER_01]: And if she can put on those kind of performances in the tournament, she's going to draw a lot of eyes on her because for a strong and as fierce as the young Marragov fighting is going to be in the dream start tournament, she's going to benefit by being the only rookie in the Scar League

01:45:46.217 --> 01:45:47.618
[SPEAKER_01]: and standing out as a result.

01:45:47.798 --> 01:46:05.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Amongst all these midfielders who are going to be fighting on the same level and then the big three sort of speak in the Star League, she's going to stand out as the bottom wrong who's going to be fighting to try and be on everyone else's level and she's the perfect personality type to match that.

01:46:05.771 --> 01:46:21.848
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she's got a bit of a rough record one and four in twenty twenty five on singles, but that's to be expected to where she's at and given she had a difficult first year in the company with the back injuries and coming in the way she did her growth over this year.

01:46:23.290 --> 01:46:24.132
[SPEAKER_01]: People have slept on.

01:46:24.532 --> 01:46:35.634
[SPEAKER_01]: She's improved markedly and I think it's going to really showcase itself here where you kind of get a chance to see it rather than being hit in tag matches where she's not the focal point.

01:46:37.258 --> 01:46:38.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, absolutely.

01:46:38.659 --> 01:46:39.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Very well said.

01:46:40.380 --> 01:46:47.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Rudy for Kazuna to have, you know, maybe a mini breakout, you know, again, making strides along the way.

01:46:47.405 --> 01:46:54.549
[SPEAKER_00]: As she's been doing all year, I think I think she can have a really, really strong performance in the number of these matches.

01:46:55.650 --> 01:46:59.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up might be the rest of that most people would like to see

01:47:00.433 --> 01:47:06.636
[SPEAKER_00]: climb up the rankings this time around and that is none other than Misa Matsui.

01:47:06.677 --> 01:47:10.078
[SPEAKER_00]: We were in a very different world from last year for Misa Matsui.

01:47:10.999 --> 01:47:25.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Last year she was you know simple young baby face just trying to get some wins get some together and ultimately it was a bottom of the block wrestler but she has only kept at it

01:47:25.887 --> 01:47:28.791
[SPEAKER_00]: and continue to grow and grow and grow.

01:47:28.891 --> 01:47:30.172
[SPEAKER_00]: She was already great last year.

01:47:30.192 --> 01:47:31.754
[SPEAKER_00]: She isn't better now though.

01:47:32.335 --> 01:47:42.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, me so much so we had to get someone who has become a big time favorite for many in her time since joining Margo, one of those wrestlers from the actress crew that really

01:47:42.566 --> 01:47:44.128
[SPEAKER_00]: jumps out off the page.

01:47:44.168 --> 01:47:55.079
[SPEAKER_00]: Anytime she's in a big match, she goes out there and delivers most recently being the super fly chance of match against Mayu Otani, where Mayu said, why did I not know about you before this?

01:47:55.179 --> 01:47:56.140
[SPEAKER_00]: You're incredible.

01:47:56.741 --> 01:48:02.987
[SPEAKER_00]: And despite me some out to be being a heal, Mayu makes sure continuously repeat that after every match they have to give it.

01:48:05.615 --> 01:48:09.276
[SPEAKER_00]: Matsui someone I would like to see climb up the ranks.

01:48:09.456 --> 01:48:13.197
[SPEAKER_00]: I would like to see her maybe surprise some of us.

01:48:13.257 --> 01:48:18.058
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, finishing top four in this block is not easy.

01:48:18.438 --> 01:48:20.539
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's just not like I do.

01:48:20.619 --> 01:48:22.779
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to sit here and act like the top three.

01:48:22.839 --> 01:48:28.040
[SPEAKER_00]: We know, you know, it's everyone else that's trying to get that fourth spot.

01:48:28.860 --> 01:48:34.362
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think for someone like Emisa Matsui, maybe she can be the shocker there.

01:48:36.562 --> 01:48:40.103
[SPEAKER_00]: She is going to play the spoiler roll.

01:48:40.163 --> 01:48:46.225
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're someone that's only really witnessed five star grand breeze, she's kind of in the eyes of me rolling many ways.

01:48:47.345 --> 01:48:47.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?

01:48:47.525 --> 01:48:55.408
[SPEAKER_00]: She's gonna, she's gonna be someone that upsets a Miku, I don't know, or my Sakurai, or two of the three quite frankly.

01:48:55.468 --> 01:48:57.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's out of the question.

01:48:57.968 --> 01:49:02.850
[SPEAKER_00]: But me so much Sui, I think if you look at this block, I think there's a lot of choices for an MVP.

01:49:04.331 --> 01:49:07.194
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason she can't be in that conversation.

01:49:07.234 --> 01:49:23.550
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the capability she has as a performer, as a wrestler, as someone who I think you and me both agree is super duper talented and has all the potential to be at the very least United National Champion somewhere down the line here.

01:49:24.911 --> 01:49:51.552
[SPEAKER_00]: her opening schedule is as follows on the opening night in the very first show it's her and Mikuano so instant one that kind of could set the bar on that opening night she also faces she could go to on that show then you head to the semi-pint is where she gets the rematch gets my soccer I find that to be pretty notable corking hall she'll face Kazuna Tanaka so

01:49:52.590 --> 01:49:56.092
[SPEAKER_00]: big opportunity for those to, you know, maybe find some wins.

01:49:56.152 --> 01:50:01.796
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the final night, she says Negi Sinozaki, which is an interesting face-off for them.

01:50:01.976 --> 01:50:08.781
[SPEAKER_00]: But Trent, I know Misa Matsui has been someone that's won you over, especially since you've jumped back in.

01:50:09.561 --> 01:50:13.824
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think she is someone that has won a lot of others over, like I said.

01:50:13.884 --> 01:50:18.187
[SPEAKER_00]: So what are your thoughts on Misa adding into this year's Drake star?

01:50:19.478 --> 01:50:27.708
[SPEAKER_01]: So, hopefully I'm also one of the very first marital, it's just she's one of the even more with the Darkness Revolution gimmick change because

01:50:28.378 --> 01:50:32.942
[SPEAKER_01]: That was really the one thing I thought was lacking for her was as talented as she was in the ring.

01:50:33.422 --> 01:50:43.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was a little bit of a generic underdog baby face which she played well enough, but I thought it was just kind of we've seen that kind of role before and other people played it better.

01:50:44.291 --> 01:50:47.474
[SPEAKER_01]: But she feels so much more home with this kind of gimmick.

01:50:47.914 --> 01:50:52.258
[SPEAKER_01]: And the beauty of it is like she can still play an underdog baby face role.

01:50:53.332 --> 01:50:57.816
[SPEAKER_01]: In this character and gimmick, like it doesn't really need to change that all that much.

01:50:57.896 --> 01:51:01.540
[SPEAKER_01]: It's actually very reminiscent to style like kid in a wetto tie.

01:51:01.580 --> 01:51:06.004
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to tweak a whole lot about it for to work in either role.

01:51:06.104 --> 01:51:10.688
[SPEAKER_01]: And it just gives us so much more personality and marketability in that respect.

01:51:10.888 --> 01:51:11.489
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like

01:51:12.149 --> 01:51:21.241
[SPEAKER_01]: As a performer, as a wrestler, I think really she's one of the best that Marigold has, even if the record and her position on the roster doesn't necessarily show it.

01:51:21.762 --> 01:51:24.125
[SPEAKER_01]: And the beauty of these kind of tournaments are, is

01:51:25.010 --> 01:51:49.730
[SPEAKER_01]: wrestlers like me some that too you can go out there and shot you know you're not limited by the fact that you're just putting tag matches in the middle of the card on all the house shows you get seven singles matches now you might not get twelve minutes each time like the main event is that you're going to get chances to shine and me some matter is a lot of really fascinating matches like you said most of these matches are going to suit her in one more another

01:51:50.050 --> 01:52:07.100
[SPEAKER_01]: river as a character, river as a meshing of stars or contrasting of stars because as much as high speed versus kind of similar size works well, big versus small always works well and she's got some powerhouses that she can go against here, which is really exciting as well.

01:52:07.720 --> 01:52:18.807
[SPEAKER_01]: The biggest question is is she going to get that opportunity to find the win matches and be top four or is she going to replicate last year where she only wins one match and ends up with two points like

01:52:19.926 --> 01:52:23.391
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a very real chance she ends up last in the block.

01:52:24.172 --> 01:52:31.963
[SPEAKER_01]: If Kazuna Tanaka wins one match and that one matches against Misa Matsuri, she gets the tie-breaker on Misa Matsuri and that puts her last in the block.

01:52:32.858 --> 01:52:36.740
[SPEAKER_01]: The very real opportunity, and that would be a real shame for someone of her talent.

01:52:36.820 --> 01:52:40.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, that in of itself isn't necessarily bad if she puts great matches.

01:52:41.543 --> 01:52:46.805
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you tell a story with that now, Mesa has the story of not being able to win matches when it counts.

01:52:47.746 --> 01:52:49.987
[SPEAKER_01]: If that happens, I just hope they do something with it.

01:52:50.806 --> 01:53:01.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't necessarily hope that that means she goes on and instantly wins the Marigal World Championship from retirement, as soon as the tournament finishes, like our promotions might do.

01:53:01.898 --> 01:53:06.803
[SPEAKER_01]: But I hope that there's some kind of story that would come from that, not just oh yes, she has another

01:53:07.423 --> 01:53:13.131
[SPEAKER_01]: disappointing torment one and they just move on and she's the person who has good matches and that's it.

01:53:14.733 --> 01:53:22.504
[SPEAKER_01]: She's too talented to just be that kind of wrestler and as much as she is young enough that you can do something with her later.

01:53:23.212 --> 01:53:27.595
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they'd be missing out on capitalizing on how good she is now.

01:53:28.036 --> 01:53:36.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially when you get that shining dot phrase from my returning, like, you should be jumping on that.

01:53:36.462 --> 01:53:40.425
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's more people now be aware of me some that series straight after that.

01:53:40.525 --> 01:53:43.727
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be a shame if that kind of just gets lost in the shuffle.

01:53:44.007 --> 01:53:48.691
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, like kind of what I'm saying with Charkey, with so many people rising up as quickly as they are,

01:53:49.907 --> 01:53:57.774
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want me to method it to just become another lower midcard wrestler, because she just doesn't get the opportunity to do more.

01:53:59.215 --> 01:54:01.477
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like all the wrestlers we've talked about so far.

01:54:01.497 --> 01:54:04.780
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think musicians should perish below any of them.

01:54:05.221 --> 01:54:06.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's my best way.

01:54:07.362 --> 01:54:08.043
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you really give

01:54:10.447 --> 01:54:12.228
[SPEAKER_00]: Love to me some more than anything else.

01:54:12.308 --> 01:54:15.949
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's that talented that ready for the next step.

01:54:15.989 --> 01:54:18.910
[SPEAKER_00]: But I know she's been someone that has been receiving that praise.

01:54:19.770 --> 01:54:22.111
[SPEAKER_00]: Day back to her actress girl stays.

01:54:23.091 --> 01:54:24.572
[SPEAKER_00]: What is her record this year?

01:54:24.752 --> 01:54:25.852
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's not great.

01:54:27.253 --> 01:54:27.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Two, seven.

01:54:29.674 --> 01:54:30.094
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:54:30.554 --> 01:54:31.014
[SPEAKER_00]: That's tough.

01:54:31.314 --> 01:54:31.835
[SPEAKER_00]: That's tough.

01:54:32.355 --> 01:54:36.176
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so hard to predict what, yeah, of all the midfielders.

01:54:36.536 --> 01:54:38.337
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she's the hardest one to predict.

01:54:39.303 --> 01:54:41.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she can rain from bottom till fourth.

01:54:42.505 --> 01:55:02.760
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like which is interesting, but she's also the perfect performer to have, you know, the matches with Mariah on these little shows because I think that's where you really get those two like to highlight the tournament and the depth of the tournament on, you know, an undercard show, you know, like that, both final one before the final itself.

01:55:02.900 --> 01:55:04.842
[SPEAKER_00]: She's kind of in that position a lot of the time.

01:55:05.923 --> 01:55:15.481
[SPEAKER_00]: What we had into the top four now that goes with another then go chica chica go to number fifty one.

01:55:15.501 --> 01:55:16.704
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't

01:55:18.242 --> 01:55:22.804
[SPEAKER_00]: No, if anyone could have predicted where she'd go in a year's time.

01:55:23.764 --> 01:55:32.087
[SPEAKER_00]: Last year, she had a fight her way into the Dream Star Grand Prix, and she did just that in through that tournament.

01:55:32.227 --> 01:55:41.370
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she had a fine little run, not necessarily anything, any match that necessarily jumped off the page, but she showed spirit.

01:55:42.171 --> 01:55:45.492
[SPEAKER_00]: Boyle Boyle did that spirit continue for the next year.

01:55:46.612 --> 01:55:52.694
[SPEAKER_00]: She can go to has become one of the most beloved wrestlers on this entire roster.

01:55:52.774 --> 01:56:02.177
[SPEAKER_00]: She is gained so much personality, so much fandom and a love for pro wrestling that she sings about all the damn time.

01:56:02.578 --> 01:56:06.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's kind of the most enjoyable thing about hers.

01:56:06.199 --> 01:56:13.001
[SPEAKER_00]: How much she really has fallen in love with pro wrestling and truly you can see it and how she wrestles.

01:56:13.061 --> 01:56:15.262
[SPEAKER_00]: She gives it her all every.

01:56:16.042 --> 01:56:17.623
[SPEAKER_00]: single match.

01:56:17.863 --> 01:56:25.845
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I really do think she's someone that when she walked in with the rest of the actress girls prove everyone had her as the sixth of the six.

01:56:25.925 --> 01:56:30.347
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh, you know, she's she's fine, you know, she's she's kind of new and

01:56:32.416 --> 01:56:33.738
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll figure it out, maybe.

01:56:33.758 --> 01:56:41.709
[SPEAKER_00]: And in many ways, she has absolutely over-delivered on every expectation, imaginable.

01:56:42.570 --> 01:56:48.759
[SPEAKER_00]: She has somehow worked herself into a story with none other than Maya, or Tony in the meantime.

01:56:49.759 --> 01:56:52.420
[SPEAKER_00]: She has challenged for the GHC woman's title.

01:56:52.780 --> 01:57:06.663
[SPEAKER_00]: She has challenged for the United National title in what I think might be her best singles match to date was that very match and it was a second match show like that was an interesting day for her to challenge but she put it all out there.

01:57:07.604 --> 01:57:12.745
[SPEAKER_00]: Go Chica is someone that as you look at this tournament and you look at this league

01:57:14.742 --> 01:57:16.943
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to have a lot of fanfare behind her.

01:57:16.963 --> 01:57:24.108
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to be a very interesting placement because I don't think she's going to win a lot, but I think her wins are going to mean a lot.

01:57:24.688 --> 01:57:33.853
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think she's someone that if she continues on the ride that she's on, she is going to be an undeniable winner.

01:57:34.033 --> 01:57:35.935
[SPEAKER_00]: I have said this before and I will say it again.

01:57:35.955 --> 01:57:39.757
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if there is a potential win in this

01:57:41.603 --> 01:57:47.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, in the future of Marigold that may be bigger than whatever go cheek of finally wins a championship.

01:57:47.230 --> 01:57:52.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that feels like a moment that is going to be a marigold core moment.

01:57:53.137 --> 01:58:00.767
[SPEAKER_00]: And she deserves all the credit in the world to getting to that level by continuously working continuously going

01:58:01.147 --> 01:58:14.332
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's really funny because she's also kind of like the mother of this roster, if anyone ever like watches any, like the digest videos or anything that they do, like she just kind of takes care of everyone, which is really nice too.

01:58:14.772 --> 01:58:16.212
[SPEAKER_00]: But hey, she's her own rational.

01:58:16.232 --> 01:58:16.732
[SPEAKER_00]: She's ready.

01:58:16.812 --> 01:58:22.434
[SPEAKER_00]: She is in many ways another ultimate underdog alongside Kazuma in this block.

01:58:23.375 --> 01:58:30.197
[SPEAKER_00]: And she has some exciting matchups here along the way, but Trent, what are your thoughts on Go Chica this year?

01:58:31.612 --> 01:58:46.779
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know what I was thinking as you were just saying everything you were saying about, you know, ultimate underdog, mother of the roster, eventually when she wins at the big one, like, would just change everything, would be one of the biggest events in the company's history.

01:58:47.039 --> 01:58:50.181
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what that would remind me of, what wrestle that would remind me of Scott?

01:58:51.241 --> 01:58:51.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Who, Trad?

01:58:53.142 --> 01:58:54.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Jungle Kiona.

01:58:54.823 --> 01:58:55.764
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what that means?

01:58:56.604 --> 01:58:57.905
[SPEAKER_01]: I like Go Chica.

01:58:59.936 --> 01:59:01.697
[SPEAKER_01]: talking about Russell's winning me over.

01:59:02.177 --> 01:59:04.118
[SPEAKER_01]: She could go to, has won me over.

01:59:04.138 --> 01:59:06.819
[SPEAKER_01]: I was willing to people when the actress girls came in.

01:59:06.839 --> 01:59:12.281
[SPEAKER_01]: Me and I very much instantly, you could tell she was the ace.

01:59:12.922 --> 01:59:16.223
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, me, Samantha Matsuri, instantly, like you could tell she was great.

01:59:16.523 --> 01:59:20.245
[SPEAKER_01]: Jackie, her first match, you know, with Mariah, was great.

01:59:21.945 --> 01:59:23.926
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw, I saw what she could go on with.

01:59:24.607 --> 01:59:25.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, like

01:59:26.232 --> 01:59:30.815
[SPEAKER_01]: She can come in and I feel like, you know, she'll probably get by on character and visuals.

01:59:30.875 --> 01:59:32.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's a role there.

01:59:32.376 --> 01:59:36.139
[SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't necessarily have to improve much, but she'll, she'll carve out a niche.

01:59:37.400 --> 01:59:39.961
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I took my hide, it's from wrestling in the end.

01:59:40.101 --> 01:59:43.063
[SPEAKER_01]: I came back and I was so confused.

01:59:43.644 --> 01:59:46.085
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's someone who has just changed the game.

01:59:46.826 --> 01:59:52.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Has developed such, you know, she always had the personality, but it just become a holy, confident person.

01:59:53.816 --> 02:00:14.083
[SPEAKER_01]: developed a lot in the ring like she's still green she's still raw she's still got a lot of long way to go but like you can see marketing improvement she's made in a relatively short amount of time but the thing that really stands out to me is you know I mentioned she came in and she felt like a visual you know she could have just sold herself as a visual kind of like Kokey if they come in and just

02:00:14.623 --> 02:00:24.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Solve photo books and just settled in as Laura Midcard and got by on just being restless to people thought look good and that's why they'll fans you could have understood her.

02:00:24.973 --> 02:00:34.662
[SPEAKER_01]: She risks that by adding on bulk adding on strength changing how she looked to a certain extent she still looks fantastic but changing how she looked

02:00:35.416 --> 02:00:37.740
[SPEAKER_01]: purely to become better in the ring.

02:00:38.121 --> 02:00:49.280
[SPEAKER_01]: She wanted to add bulk so she was stronger so she could do more power moves so she could do the giant spin and do it more consistently to add more rotations to pick people up and easier.

02:00:50.484 --> 02:00:53.805
[SPEAKER_01]: She didn't need to do that to have a career in wrestling.

02:00:54.425 --> 02:00:57.126
[SPEAKER_01]: She wanted to do that so she could be better in the ring.

02:00:57.246 --> 02:01:01.167
[SPEAKER_01]: So she could enjoy what she's doing more, to add more to the product.

02:01:01.787 --> 02:01:05.068
[SPEAKER_01]: That speaks so much to where her heads up and to where her hearts are.

02:01:05.709 --> 02:01:08.810
[SPEAKER_01]: And that means up to me as a viewer and as a fan of wrestling.

02:01:08.850 --> 02:01:11.510
[SPEAKER_01]: And like her passion for wrestling.

02:01:11.550 --> 02:01:12.671
[SPEAKER_01]: And she said, it's infectious.

02:01:13.111 --> 02:01:15.732
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the kind of wrestler that instantly draws me in.

02:01:16.012 --> 02:01:16.112
[SPEAKER_01]: And

02:01:16.772 --> 02:01:22.875
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, coming in as someone who watched a bit of a matter of gold stepped away from Marga and wrestling as all came back.

02:01:23.515 --> 02:01:29.598
[SPEAKER_01]: If you'd asked me which actress girl was going to be my favorite, she'd go to it would have been number six in my predictions.

02:01:31.439 --> 02:01:31.899
[SPEAKER_01]: Not anymore.

02:01:32.400 --> 02:01:34.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think she's winning the tournament.

02:01:34.621 --> 02:01:36.061
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't care.

02:01:36.342 --> 02:01:38.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Every when she wins, I'm going to be all on board.

02:01:39.563 --> 02:01:40.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Happy that she's doing it.

02:01:41.164 --> 02:01:45.006
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of very exciting matchups here and I'm looking forward to each and every one.

02:01:46.088 --> 02:01:52.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she was part of one of those videos that they do with one of the sponsors.

02:01:53.333 --> 02:01:54.994
[SPEAKER_00]: And she had actually talked about like,

02:01:55.988 --> 02:01:58.429
[SPEAKER_00]: how she wanted to improve and grow.

02:01:58.489 --> 02:02:01.510
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, she got stronger and added muscle.

02:02:01.530 --> 02:02:06.893
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you remember back to those first couple months, you know, she did struggle to do the swing and things like that.

02:02:06.933 --> 02:02:12.455
[SPEAKER_00]: She, you know, we've talked about a cookie too, who's had, you know, trouble lifting people.

02:02:12.515 --> 02:02:22.320
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, just little things that, you know, it was natural, like, again, these, these human bodies that try to lift the sounds, the easy thing, resting fans, could you say people doing it easy?

02:02:23.420 --> 02:02:41.209
[SPEAKER_00]: right like these these the actress girls outside of I think Miku all did something else you know like koki still someone that does plays I believe go cheeky still a model and the the dedication that go cheeky has shown to

02:02:43.055 --> 02:02:46.899
[SPEAKER_00]: give it all to pro wrestling, you have to applaud it.

02:02:47.059 --> 02:02:48.981
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's what you were talking about.

02:02:49.061 --> 02:02:53.145
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's been very open about that and how much passion she's grown.

02:02:53.185 --> 02:02:55.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Like now all she thinks about is pro wrestling.

02:02:56.008 --> 02:02:58.251
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, she didn't have to do that.

02:02:58.671 --> 02:02:59.792
[SPEAKER_00]: She never did have to do that.

02:02:59.832 --> 02:03:02.015
[SPEAKER_00]: But she wants to do that because she fell in love with that.

02:03:02.055 --> 02:03:04.797
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's just again, something a lot of people can

02:03:05.679 --> 02:03:17.060
[SPEAKER_00]: connect with and have connected with in her time in Mari Gold, but I know her singles record isn't a big one, but it's also

02:03:18.313 --> 02:03:19.714
[SPEAKER_00]: Not great too bad.

02:03:20.054 --> 02:03:26.059
[SPEAKER_01]: Singers are call me twenty five is four and five and one hundred in my heart.

02:03:28.181 --> 02:03:28.421
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.

02:03:28.581 --> 02:03:29.062
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.

02:03:29.903 --> 02:03:39.350
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, obviously she said some big title matches this year and I think I think her rematch with my side row being a very interesting one for her especially.

02:03:41.575 --> 02:03:43.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Did I go over her opening night?

02:03:43.156 --> 02:03:43.877
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I did.

02:03:44.337 --> 02:03:47.019
[SPEAKER_00]: She faces Mori and me some at Sui.

02:03:47.220 --> 02:03:50.342
[SPEAKER_00]: So two very strong matches on the opening night.

02:03:52.744 --> 02:03:56.087
[SPEAKER_00]: As I said, which she makes her homecoming.

02:03:56.107 --> 02:03:59.709
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll actually face Maiu during this tournament that's not a tournament match.

02:03:59.830 --> 02:04:02.011
[SPEAKER_00]: But look at that side and that's great.

02:04:02.031 --> 02:04:03.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Gotta keep personal name.

02:04:03.052 --> 02:04:06.415
[SPEAKER_00]: But to her that might be the most meaningful quite frankly.

02:04:06.715 --> 02:04:09.597
[SPEAKER_00]: She also faces Negis and Ozaki at Corkin Hall to me.

02:04:10.690 --> 02:04:16.474
[SPEAKER_00]: That screams a big time, a big pop went over the big massive heel as if I've ever seen one.

02:04:17.035 --> 02:04:20.337
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the final night she faces Kazuna Tanaka.

02:04:20.497 --> 02:04:28.063
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously wishing go cheek of the best in this tournament, you know, she's ready to surprise some people along the way.

02:04:28.563 --> 02:04:30.885
[SPEAKER_00]: As she has her entire Margold journey.

02:04:31.605 --> 02:04:32.646
[SPEAKER_00]: Now get to the top three.

02:04:32.746 --> 02:04:34.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just get to the big three here.

02:04:34.147 --> 02:04:37.370
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's, you know, there's a big two and the other one, the big three here.

02:04:37.991 --> 02:04:39.812
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, it starts with Mariah.

02:04:39.852 --> 02:04:44.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Mariah last year felt like a potential finalist, a potential winner.

02:04:45.897 --> 02:04:49.901
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason the things she can't feel like that again this year.

02:04:49.941 --> 02:04:51.082
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know when the

02:04:53.100 --> 02:05:08.938
[SPEAKER_00]: winners going to challenge for the marigold world championship right could be grandest and he could be first dream again we don't know and I only I bring that up with her because obviously she did challenge for the world title already this year came up short against utami

02:05:09.558 --> 02:05:14.185
[SPEAKER_00]: But it felt like there was so much more to go with those two morise.

02:05:14.225 --> 02:05:22.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, in many people's eyes, kind of bend the ace of the promotion in terms of just a performance level since the very beginning.

02:05:23.338 --> 02:05:24.739
[SPEAKER_00]: Her rivalry with Miku Aono.

02:05:26.172 --> 02:05:30.733
[SPEAKER_00]: with one of the real highlights of that first year, let alone first few months.

02:05:31.353 --> 02:05:34.193
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's just becoming incredibly different wrestler.

02:05:34.253 --> 02:05:39.814
[SPEAKER_00]: I love talking to people who watch Mariah and start them and now watch Mariah Margult.

02:05:39.934 --> 02:05:41.555
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just say, what happened?

02:05:42.455 --> 02:05:47.176
[SPEAKER_00]: And because a lot of people didn't love Mariah and start them like me and Trent did.

02:05:49.076 --> 02:05:53.877
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I think she's just becoming undeniable

02:05:55.194 --> 02:05:59.497
[SPEAKER_00]: great wrestler that you can no longer, you know, deny.

02:06:00.037 --> 02:06:05.621
[SPEAKER_00]: And she, she had her moments in the start, but she is every bit of herself in Margo.

02:06:06.461 --> 02:06:07.922
[SPEAKER_00]: She is in many ways.

02:06:09.704 --> 02:06:15.407
[SPEAKER_00]: The wrestler that I think you can just so naturally cheer for in terms of the main event stars, right?

02:06:15.567 --> 02:06:22.012
[SPEAKER_00]: Because despite all of her success, she still, she still feels like she's trying to

02:06:24.177 --> 02:06:27.241
[SPEAKER_00]: reach a, reach a level she's never been before.

02:06:27.301 --> 02:06:28.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she's one restaurant champion.

02:06:29.003 --> 02:06:32.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she is two times in the realm of inner, but in Mari Gold.

02:06:33.666 --> 02:06:34.707
[SPEAKER_00]: She's only come up short.

02:06:34.767 --> 02:06:42.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, she was the first twin start champion, but she wasn't the first United National Champion, like a lot of people thought she would be.

02:06:42.791 --> 02:06:46.213
[SPEAKER_00]: She didn't win the dream star last year, like some people thought she would.

02:06:46.734 --> 02:06:50.336
[SPEAKER_00]: She didn't win the world title against New Tommy when she finally got to challenge.

02:06:50.956 --> 02:06:57.820
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of shortcomings from Mariah, and now she kind of gets to try and bring it all back here in this tournament.

02:06:58.300 --> 02:07:00.702
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're looking for an MVP possibility,

02:07:01.542 --> 02:07:04.765
[SPEAKER_00]: hard to beat Mariah and what she brings to the table.

02:07:05.445 --> 02:07:19.597
[SPEAKER_00]: Her opening night is she could go to and then we read night to the rivalry, her and Mikuano, very likely main event the night cap show, which will be very, very exciting at Cork and Hall.

02:07:20.298 --> 02:07:31.230
[SPEAKER_00]: She faces my soccer eye, obviously a massive massive match between those two, the first twin start champions and my soccer continue to live on in their own way.

02:07:31.310 --> 02:07:38.638
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the final night, she goes one on one with Chan Yoda, trying to know your big fan of

02:07:40.207 --> 02:07:45.872
[SPEAKER_00]: Mariah, like myself, I know you're very excited for her tournament and what she brings to the table.

02:07:46.172 --> 02:07:50.076
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll say this out of all the main eventters in this promotion.

02:07:50.136 --> 02:07:57.522
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there is no bigger guarantee of Mariah giving one thousand percent every single one of these matches.

02:07:58.062 --> 02:08:02.026
[SPEAKER_00]: So how excited are you from Mariah's tournament this year?

02:08:03.555 --> 02:08:04.095
[SPEAKER_01]: at the match.

02:08:04.515 --> 02:08:07.296
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she's actually someone who will always deliver.

02:08:07.376 --> 02:08:11.217
[SPEAKER_01]: And tournaments, she's again, someone who shines because it suits her.

02:08:11.557 --> 02:08:16.819
[SPEAKER_01]: Not just in terms of success, she's one, the other Cinderella tournament twice in a row.

02:08:17.139 --> 02:08:22.280
[SPEAKER_01]: She always, either on, generally on the cast of making finals in these round robin tournaments.

02:08:22.661 --> 02:08:25.761
[SPEAKER_01]: She's one of the artists to start on tournament back and start them as well.

02:08:26.021 --> 02:08:30.043
[SPEAKER_01]: She's always a top tier, you know, point scoring tournaments.

02:08:31.523 --> 02:08:34.765
[SPEAKER_01]: in terms of actually like in ring performance, she's always delivering.

02:08:34.785 --> 02:08:39.208
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, yeah, she's best in these hard hitting short sharp fast matches.

02:08:39.588 --> 02:08:40.548
[SPEAKER_01]: That suits her style.

02:08:41.069 --> 02:08:46.652
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like her style has only gotten better and more defined since joining Marigold.

02:08:46.672 --> 02:08:53.176
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, in start, and she was kind of trying to find a nice complicated finish or something fancy.

02:08:53.696 --> 02:08:59.380
[SPEAKER_01]: And then she came to Marigold and realized, I just have an absolutely amazing layer at the people pop for.

02:09:00.468 --> 02:09:01.509
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to use that.

02:09:02.249 --> 02:09:04.350
[SPEAKER_01]: And everyone's like, yes, that's amazing.

02:09:04.530 --> 02:09:06.111
[SPEAKER_01]: It just thought it was the best stuff.

02:09:06.371 --> 02:09:09.573
[SPEAKER_01]: And so she's been doing that and it works to perfection.

02:09:09.914 --> 02:09:16.677
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, how did you get me to start dipping my toe back in the maragold in twenty twenty five at the start of twenty twenty five.

02:09:17.058 --> 02:09:19.459
[SPEAKER_01]: It was with Mariah Larritz and then Mariah matches.

02:09:19.919 --> 02:09:21.981
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what got started to come back in.

02:09:22.521 --> 02:09:24.222
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I started watching the shows.

02:09:24.822 --> 02:09:27.084
[SPEAKER_01]: You gave me a list of Mariah matches.

02:09:27.424 --> 02:09:28.424
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I asked for.

02:09:28.524 --> 02:09:36.109
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, give me ones with nice chunky larrates and you deliver it because the reality is every Mariah match has chunky larrates.

02:09:36.209 --> 02:09:37.750
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no such thing otherwise.

02:09:38.571 --> 02:09:42.613
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, we've both been Mariah believers pretty much from you.

02:09:42.633 --> 02:09:46.756
[SPEAKER_01]: You've been from day one I've been from day two, you know, took me a couple of weeks.

02:09:48.597 --> 02:09:48.977
[SPEAKER_01]: But like,

02:09:49.662 --> 02:09:56.808
[SPEAKER_01]: It's funny because people will like stop giving her wings and start them and they actually didn't marry on people like give it to give us some wings give us some wings.

02:09:58.329 --> 02:10:00.011
[SPEAKER_01]: How that bookings kind of turned around.

02:10:01.712 --> 02:10:07.157
[SPEAKER_01]: I do feel like it's probably going to continue like she's going to be on the cast and then fall short.

02:10:07.517 --> 02:10:10.079
[SPEAKER_01]: She's me some that so we upgraded.

02:10:10.539 --> 02:10:11.600
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she gets closer.

02:10:11.820 --> 02:10:14.402
[SPEAKER_01]: She gets bigger opportunities, but she's still not quite there.

02:10:15.483 --> 02:10:15.824
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's

02:10:17.370 --> 02:10:19.131
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the curse of the wrestlers I like.

02:10:19.551 --> 02:10:23.712
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm sorry, Marae fans, I picked a wrestler that you like.

02:10:24.593 --> 02:10:27.574
[SPEAKER_01]: I will warn you if there's a wrestler I like.

02:10:27.894 --> 02:10:30.935
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you know, I don't follow she could go to because I picked her.

02:10:32.497 --> 02:10:35.098
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Mariah will get her day of the sun one day.

02:10:36.118 --> 02:10:39.479
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she came into this company as one of the faces of the company.

02:10:39.879 --> 02:10:40.559
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll get there.

02:10:40.739 --> 02:10:41.379
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll get there.

02:10:41.399 --> 02:10:43.460
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, some people just have to go on the journey.

02:10:43.660 --> 02:10:47.881
[SPEAKER_00]: And she is the one that has to go on that journey.

02:10:47.921 --> 02:10:50.742
[SPEAKER_00]: But some of it doesn't need to go on a journey.

02:10:50.782 --> 02:10:55.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Someone that just kind of was a rocket ship the moment she walked in.

02:10:55.783 --> 02:10:57.484
[SPEAKER_00]: That is Mikuano.

02:11:00.078 --> 02:11:02.079
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't two and three was more.

02:11:02.279 --> 02:11:03.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, thank you.

02:11:03.120 --> 02:11:04.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Six two and three is pretty good.

02:11:04.921 --> 02:11:05.541
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good.

02:11:05.982 --> 02:11:06.902
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a really good record.

02:11:07.763 --> 02:11:10.385
[SPEAKER_00]: Mikuado has become

02:11:11.872 --> 02:11:19.658
[SPEAKER_00]: unquestionably, one of the very best in the world, let alone in Margold since joining the promotion.

02:11:19.718 --> 02:11:28.444
[SPEAKER_00]: I know a lot of people were seeing her praises before that when she was raining as actress girls wrote champion and the ace of that promotion.

02:11:29.505 --> 02:11:34.789
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a lot of the times how I heard about actress girls was, oh, you should see me go out as matches here and you go out as match there.

02:11:38.047 --> 02:11:41.649
[SPEAKER_00]: I went back and watched those and I was like, okay, this is the fantastic wrestler.

02:11:42.709 --> 02:11:50.273
[SPEAKER_00]: And she walked into the promotion instantly, you kind of knew, okay, she is a big deal.

02:11:50.293 --> 02:11:53.675
[SPEAKER_00]: This is someone we got to be ready for.

02:11:54.715 --> 02:12:00.118
[SPEAKER_00]: And she found herself as the first ever United National Champion.

02:12:01.868 --> 02:12:07.892
[SPEAKER_00]: don't think anyone expected that when those belts were introduced at that very first show when they were shown.

02:12:08.392 --> 02:12:16.037
[SPEAKER_00]: They get everyone said, oh, mirai makes a lot of sense, but Mikuano kind of pushed herself to the front of that line.

02:12:19.578 --> 02:12:35.724
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that we've reached the Dream Star Grand Prix, twenty twenty five, I feel like she may be pushing herself to the front of another line and maybe skipping some people that were ready to be in front of that line because that's how great she's been.

02:12:36.404 --> 02:12:42.787
[SPEAKER_00]: When you're selected to be the retirement opponent of the Naitaka Hashi,

02:12:44.698 --> 02:12:46.379
[SPEAKER_00]: says a lot, says a lot.

02:12:46.399 --> 02:12:55.244
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm someone who watched her United National Tarantz said, you know, it was good, but I don't think it reached the full potential that I think she's capable of.

02:12:56.784 --> 02:13:01.067
[SPEAKER_00]: So she seemed pretty determined from the moment this year started.

02:13:01.127 --> 02:13:06.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Her match with my sock, where I was arguably the best of the entire rain probably was the best of the entire rain.

02:13:07.590 --> 02:13:08.591
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that was great.

02:13:09.031 --> 02:13:11.032
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, she did some undercard stuff.

02:13:11.072 --> 02:13:12.413
[SPEAKER_00]: She was just kind of here and there.

02:13:13.758 --> 02:13:16.520
[SPEAKER_00]: And then she stepped up to the Naitaka Hashie.

02:13:16.740 --> 02:13:21.002
[SPEAKER_00]: And instantly, that's one of those matches you look at.

02:13:21.142 --> 02:13:24.664
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's just the retirement match for the Naitaka Hashie.

02:13:24.684 --> 02:13:31.168
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is the, can Mikuano be the world champion someday?

02:13:32.369 --> 02:13:40.834
[SPEAKER_00]: And Mikuano went out there and had the match of her career while defeating the Naitaka Hashie in her final singles match.

02:13:42.560 --> 02:13:47.382
[SPEAKER_00]: She has since been billed as the ender of passion and all these different things.

02:13:47.442 --> 02:13:49.943
[SPEAKER_00]: She is the one that ended tonight to talk to us.

02:13:49.963 --> 02:13:50.543
[SPEAKER_00]: She's career.

02:13:51.584 --> 02:13:54.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Something tells me we're not given all these big time nicknames.

02:13:54.985 --> 02:13:57.727
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not on her way to something greater to something.

02:13:58.827 --> 02:14:00.448
[SPEAKER_00]: higher than we've already seen.

02:14:01.228 --> 02:14:10.854
[SPEAKER_00]: If you ask everyone at that opening Margold press conference, who is going to be the first person to win the top two belts, right?

02:14:10.894 --> 02:14:17.378
[SPEAKER_00]: The red and white belts at the time when it no exactly what they're called, but now the Margo World title and the United National title.

02:14:18.539 --> 02:14:21.901
[SPEAKER_00]: People probably would have picked Mariah or Tommy, I'd have to guess.

02:14:23.844 --> 02:14:24.864
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though she wasn't there.

02:14:24.924 --> 02:14:25.785
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's true.

02:14:25.805 --> 02:14:26.465
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

02:14:27.245 --> 02:14:29.427
[SPEAKER_00]: Mikuano also wasn't there at the time.

02:14:29.467 --> 02:14:31.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's something that's kind of forgotten.

02:14:31.908 --> 02:14:34.309
[SPEAKER_00]: And yet she has stormed into this promotion.

02:14:34.329 --> 02:14:36.410
[SPEAKER_00]: She closed out Margo fields forever.

02:14:36.431 --> 02:14:37.951
[SPEAKER_00]: She won the United National Tiles.

02:14:37.991 --> 02:14:39.932
[SPEAKER_00]: She retired in the Naitaka Hashi.

02:14:40.333 --> 02:14:41.994
[SPEAKER_00]: The next step feels like

02:14:42.814 --> 02:14:44.215
[SPEAKER_00]: The dream star grand prix.

02:14:44.255 --> 02:14:47.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Mikuano enters this tournament as a heavy favorite.

02:14:47.257 --> 02:14:51.901
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for many of us and for many of us the right choice.

02:14:53.242 --> 02:14:54.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Mikuano has made me a fan.

02:14:55.243 --> 02:15:01.347
[SPEAKER_00]: She's made many others a fan through her time in Marigold and right now she feels as

02:15:02.408 --> 02:15:04.849
[SPEAKER_00]: ready for that next step is anyone.

02:15:04.909 --> 02:15:22.794
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think anyone will bad enough if she wins this tournament and ultimately becomes the person to take down Utami High Shista as World Champion by the way a match that they have been teasing and teasing and teasing since Utami won the belt, but of course never went to it.

02:15:24.215 --> 02:15:25.135
[SPEAKER_00]: Trent, I ask you

02:15:26.675 --> 02:15:35.600
[SPEAKER_00]: As someone like myself, obviously, didn't know too much about Miku, pre-Marigold, and has been able to watch her and watch that in the NIMA, and all these different things.

02:15:36.141 --> 02:15:40.283
[SPEAKER_00]: How much of an impact does she made in terms of your viewing?

02:15:40.843 --> 02:15:44.746
[SPEAKER_00]: And what do you think she has in terms of chances?

02:15:44.786 --> 02:15:53.331
[SPEAKER_00]: And do you think she's the right person to accomplish that incredible accolade of first winning the United National and Margo World title?

02:15:54.647 --> 02:15:59.848
[SPEAKER_01]: someone who had only heard about the actress wrestlers from people who watched.

02:16:00.488 --> 02:16:06.449
[SPEAKER_01]: She was the name that everyone had kind of said, look, yeah, there's varying levels of experience and talent there.

02:16:06.489 --> 02:16:14.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I knew that to me, so she said, he obviously from the earlier starting days, but me guy and everyone was like, that's that's the one to watch.

02:16:14.111 --> 02:16:20.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, she's already the finished product that they don't need to do a lot for her to already be ready.

02:16:20.992 --> 02:16:21.552
[SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Dilbert,

02:16:22.397 --> 02:16:29.007
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the short time he had invested in, you know, actress girls while we were joking with him on Ocean Cyclone show.

02:16:29.488 --> 02:16:31.030
[SPEAKER_01]: He kind of said, yeah, no.

02:16:31.070 --> 02:16:31.751
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep here on her.

02:16:31.771 --> 02:16:32.953
[SPEAKER_01]: He was right.

02:16:33.334 --> 02:16:36.799
[SPEAKER_01]: And so a lot of the other people who gave us the heads up on that respect.

02:16:37.219 --> 02:16:45.286
[SPEAKER_01]: because she came in and straight away like, okay, she doesn't look like someone who needs to be prepared and molded.

02:16:45.406 --> 02:16:47.749
[SPEAKER_01]: She looked very comfortable in the ring.

02:16:48.229 --> 02:16:52.633
[SPEAKER_01]: She could mix it up with all the main adventures and hang with them very comfortably.

02:16:53.295 --> 02:16:55.656
[SPEAKER_01]: And the crowds just don't got to go behind her.

02:16:56.036 --> 02:16:58.416
[SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't need pomp and circumstance.

02:16:58.456 --> 02:17:01.717
[SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't need to be a big personally on the microphone.

02:17:02.397 --> 02:17:06.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I said this to you a couple of weeks ago and she reminded me a lot of your time.

02:17:06.258 --> 02:17:12.740
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a very quiet mellow personality and to get over like that with the crowd.

02:17:13.360 --> 02:17:14.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Very difficult.

02:17:14.301 --> 02:17:15.561
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to be authentic.

02:17:15.581 --> 02:17:19.302
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to really just connect with the audience in a certain way.

02:17:20.028 --> 02:17:27.715
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fact that the audience has connected with her with the kind of loss that they have speaks wonders to who she is.

02:17:28.336 --> 02:17:30.198
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fact that she's done that without really

02:17:30.977 --> 02:17:33.778
[SPEAKER_01]: No, there hasn't been a concentrated push for her.

02:17:34.378 --> 02:17:37.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Just every now and again, just reminded us, don't forget about me, Kulada.

02:17:38.080 --> 02:17:39.920
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he is a United National Rump.

02:17:39.940 --> 02:17:42.841
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not going to like bombard you with big matches for her.

02:17:43.261 --> 02:17:46.983
[SPEAKER_01]: Just good matches here and there on and I take our shoes retiring.

02:17:47.243 --> 02:17:48.483
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to highlight her here.

02:17:48.503 --> 02:17:49.604
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to get the big win.

02:17:50.044 --> 02:17:51.584
[SPEAKER_01]: Just enough to make you think, oh, hang on.

02:17:52.165 --> 02:17:57.466
[SPEAKER_01]: As you said, like this, this doesn't feel like the match you'd expect on paper.

02:17:57.786 --> 02:17:58.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe in an I like her.

02:18:00.373 --> 02:18:02.014
[SPEAKER_01]: or maybe there's more to it than that.

02:18:02.735 --> 02:18:04.055
[SPEAKER_01]: The reality is it's probably both.

02:18:04.436 --> 02:18:08.918
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then I get a bigger opponent, but there's more to it than just that.

02:18:09.218 --> 02:18:16.543
[SPEAKER_01]: And here we sit basically on the eve of the dream star and all the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together.

02:18:17.163 --> 02:18:19.725
[SPEAKER_01]: She's in a block without my utami.

02:18:20.666 --> 02:18:26.509
[SPEAKER_01]: Neither of them, she's faced one or no one, but boy, do we've yearned for those matches?

02:18:27.750 --> 02:18:29.151
[SPEAKER_01]: The utami survived the cumin.

02:18:30.280 --> 02:18:31.981
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a very big match.

02:18:33.102 --> 02:18:35.863
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a very big show in really good hold.

02:18:35.943 --> 02:18:37.164
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to need a main event.

02:18:37.964 --> 02:18:40.986
[SPEAKER_01]: The people haven't seen people pay money to see.

02:18:41.006 --> 02:18:45.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I'd be interested to see you, Tommy versus me, Carolina.

02:18:47.229 --> 02:18:50.391
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a match that I think a lot of people in Japan would love to see.

02:18:50.411 --> 02:18:55.474
[SPEAKER_01]: I can see that being a match they push for there.

02:18:57.175 --> 02:18:57.755
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know what?

02:18:59.148 --> 02:19:00.570
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes all the sense in the world.

02:19:01.511 --> 02:19:11.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's worth noting just based on, you know, commentary lines and such and it's really day one before my you got there, especially she was.

02:19:12.892 --> 02:19:18.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, merge seller, every single time they brought it up, I don't think that should be forgotten either.

02:19:18.835 --> 02:19:21.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only is she a great wrestler, but that matters.

02:19:22.176 --> 02:19:24.137
[SPEAKER_00]: This might give me a tax, but I don't really care.

02:19:24.778 --> 02:19:32.501
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she is a combination of utami, high-ishista, and shuri in many ways, and her skill set, and what she brings to the table.

02:19:34.142 --> 02:20:00.969
[SPEAKER_00]: her matches with the nine last year and the dream star and sorry last year and the dream star really jumped out of some of the best matches of that tournament and you know when you are the white belt champion of that either Josie tournament sometimes it's hard to stand out because you're not going to qualify you're not really going to be in discussion on the final night but she made sure to say pay attention to me I am I am in the conversation with

02:20:02.305 --> 02:20:05.186
[SPEAKER_00]: the subtries of the world, the eyes of the world, right?

02:20:05.427 --> 02:20:07.427
[SPEAKER_00]: I deserve that recognition.

02:20:07.527 --> 02:20:18.713
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's only kept doing that somehow, some way, the two biggest matches that Marigold has in the chamber now are Miku Automatches.

02:20:19.353 --> 02:20:27.077
[SPEAKER_00]: Miku Automatches and Miku Automatches, Miku Automatches and Miku Automatches and Maya Uitani feel like the two biggest matches this company has moving forward.

02:20:27.777 --> 02:20:29.178
[SPEAKER_00]: That's pretty incredible.

02:20:30.183 --> 02:20:31.704
[SPEAKER_00]: like that is what they've done.

02:20:31.924 --> 02:20:32.925
[SPEAKER_00]: That is what they've created.

02:20:32.965 --> 02:20:36.406
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is what they're protecting with this setup.

02:20:37.047 --> 02:20:39.328
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll we see one of them on the final night.

02:20:40.489 --> 02:20:41.489
[SPEAKER_00]: That remains to be seen.

02:20:42.130 --> 02:20:45.451
[SPEAKER_00]: But, Mikuano has had one hell of a year.

02:20:46.132 --> 02:20:48.553
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure her record is pretty strong this year.

02:20:50.294 --> 02:20:50.974
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven and one.

02:20:50.994 --> 02:20:55.317
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think loss of course to my sacrifice with the championship.

02:20:56.200 --> 02:21:00.904
[SPEAKER_00]: She has not lost since the first show in a single smash of the year.

02:21:00.964 --> 02:21:05.567
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's pretty telling her opening night for those wondering.

02:21:06.768 --> 02:21:11.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Me some out suy in the afternoon show and then her and Mariah back at it.

02:21:12.873 --> 02:21:14.394
[SPEAKER_00]: Better be a fifty minute draw.

02:21:15.438 --> 02:21:17.099
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I don't even finish that match.

02:21:17.139 --> 02:21:20.921
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the idea that fifteen's just not enough for those two ever, ever, ever.

02:21:21.501 --> 02:21:27.303
[SPEAKER_01]: And is that the one match in the history where the like the betting numbers would be favorite for a draw?

02:21:28.424 --> 02:21:30.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.

02:21:31.005 --> 02:21:34.627
[SPEAKER_00]: I also think it's the only match, maybe history where people are like, yeah, I'm happy.

02:21:34.647 --> 02:21:35.407
[SPEAKER_00]: This was such a draw.

02:21:35.991 --> 02:21:40.872
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, people complain about draws a little tie, but like those two, it's like, now keep doing it.

02:21:41.632 --> 02:21:42.593
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the same a lot.

02:21:43.313 --> 02:21:43.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.

02:21:44.633 --> 02:21:48.434
[SPEAKER_00]: At Quark and Hall, she goes one-on-one with Chan Yota.

02:21:49.854 --> 02:21:52.215
[SPEAKER_00]: She also faced, considered it's an Akka-chan Juku face.

02:21:52.375 --> 02:21:58.877
[SPEAKER_00]: As you can tell with her tournament, she wrestled the first night and then is off for most of August.

02:21:58.957 --> 02:22:03.638
[SPEAKER_00]: So, she starts off rough, you know, one-on-one and one-on-two.

02:22:05.040 --> 02:22:10.741
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe there's some doubt there for a good month for Mikuano fans, but sometimes we want all in one as we're helping.

02:22:11.381 --> 02:22:14.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I mean, she got a two and oh, just steam roll this too.

02:22:14.562 --> 02:22:16.343
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to count that out, but.

02:22:18.483 --> 02:22:23.244
[SPEAKER_00]: She meets the woman she has not been able to beat on the final night and that is, of course, my soccer.

02:22:23.264 --> 02:22:26.185
[SPEAKER_00]: I the one that took the United National Championship away from her.

02:22:28.142 --> 02:22:29.783
[SPEAKER_00]: That feels like a pretty important match.

02:22:29.803 --> 02:22:32.123
[SPEAKER_00]: As I'm sure.

02:22:32.584 --> 02:22:35.405
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's get to the final member of this block.

02:22:35.445 --> 02:22:38.706
[SPEAKER_00]: We just said our name and that of course at the United National Champion.

02:22:39.386 --> 02:22:41.007
[SPEAKER_00]: My soccer eye.

02:22:41.607 --> 02:22:43.888
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if we want to talk about someone that

02:22:44.673 --> 02:22:47.314
[SPEAKER_00]: continues to prove everyone wrong.

02:22:48.075 --> 02:22:49.315
[SPEAKER_00]: That is my soccer eye.

02:22:50.116 --> 02:22:51.456
[SPEAKER_00]: Trent has an article up about it.

02:22:51.617 --> 02:22:56.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Go check it out.

02:22:57.800 --> 02:23:05.804
[SPEAKER_00]: I think something funny about my soccer eye and continuously funny about my soccer eye is just like gobble re-rock.

02:23:07.923 --> 02:23:27.660
[SPEAKER_00]: everyone was wrong no one no one knew that like even people that liked my soccer right did not think this was happening playing in simple you cannot tell me she was going to become this undeniable top star you just can't because you didn't believe that you said oh she could be a good hand like that was that had to be the max and she has just

02:23:28.782 --> 02:23:32.906
[SPEAKER_00]: been incredible since joining Margo, especially since that Julia match.

02:23:33.006 --> 02:23:37.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, that's the one who a lot of people point to is kind of the shift for her.

02:23:38.011 --> 02:23:40.233
[SPEAKER_00]: She was a final last year in the dream star.

02:23:41.734 --> 02:23:46.679
[SPEAKER_00]: She came up short against a Tommy, but ultimately still was able to challenge for the United National title and win it.

02:23:48.346 --> 02:23:52.152
[SPEAKER_00]: She is the winningest champion in Margo's history.

02:23:52.192 --> 02:23:55.837
[SPEAKER_00]: The most successful defenses of any title reign thus far.

02:23:55.957 --> 02:23:59.403
[SPEAKER_00]: She continues to stack the record sheets.

02:23:59.543 --> 02:24:00.805
[SPEAKER_00]: She continues to show why.

02:24:02.730 --> 02:24:04.831
[SPEAKER_00]: She should be in the position she is.

02:24:05.772 --> 02:24:11.976
[SPEAKER_00]: She is another one that has her entire tournament in August, and then is waiting till that final night, which is very interesting.

02:24:11.996 --> 02:24:18.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Both her and Utami, following that same road, which I find very interesting for the two champions.

02:24:20.242 --> 02:24:22.203
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, my stock right now is not going to win this tournament.

02:24:22.583 --> 02:24:24.745
[SPEAKER_00]: She is a champion after all.

02:24:25.105 --> 02:24:26.286
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see that happening.

02:24:26.999 --> 02:24:38.283
[SPEAKER_00]: But she is going to be a real curveball for the likes of Marae and Mikuano, who are her final two matches, both taking place at Cork and Hall.

02:24:39.184 --> 02:24:43.305
[SPEAKER_00]: Something tells me the results of those two matches may very well decide this block.

02:24:43.905 --> 02:24:46.926
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's very, very important.

02:24:47.767 --> 02:24:50.208
[SPEAKER_00]: But hey, I'm excited for my soccerized tournament.

02:24:52.913 --> 02:24:59.816
[SPEAKER_00]: This time last year when we're going to turn in we're like, you know, she's she's a name and then she made it to the files and we're like, oh, what the hell are we talking about.

02:25:00.697 --> 02:25:07.200
[SPEAKER_00]: But her she opens the tournament against Chen Yoda and the geese in the Zaki so two tough matches right off the bat.

02:25:07.600 --> 02:25:11.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, then at the two cork and haul shows she's got my right and.

02:25:13.703 --> 02:25:17.366
[SPEAKER_00]: So to potential, main event type matches there.

02:25:18.427 --> 02:25:21.290
[SPEAKER_00]: So it should be very fun, very excited for my Sakurai.

02:25:22.030 --> 02:25:28.476
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you think for my, obviously, as she is one of the champions, the top champion of this entire block?

02:25:29.937 --> 02:25:32.199
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the champions are always fascinating because like,

02:25:33.528 --> 02:25:36.169
[SPEAKER_01]: then that really in control of their tournaments.

02:25:36.589 --> 02:25:51.932
[SPEAKER_01]: That always feels like the wrestlers coming at them are in control of their tournaments because every match, someone's desperate for a win because if they lose their tournaments, if they got a win over a champion, that's just as good as winning a tournament because it sets them up for a future championship match.

02:25:52.612 --> 02:25:54.932
[SPEAKER_01]: My sacrifice kind of always got to be on edge.

02:25:54.972 --> 02:25:57.773
[SPEAKER_01]: She's kind of playing defense through the entire tournament.

02:25:58.193 --> 02:26:01.894
[SPEAKER_01]: especially because like we're kind of assuming she's not going to win because she's champion.

02:26:02.774 --> 02:26:21.460
[SPEAKER_01]: Makes for it's kind of interesting situation and then of course you've got the Mariah, Mikuayano, it's kind of like a rock paper scissors, Pokemon situation, one's good against the other, it's strengths and weaknesses, that sort of triangle situation which makes for a fascinating conclusion to this block.

02:26:22.285 --> 02:26:22.685
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah.

02:26:22.765 --> 02:26:26.386
[SPEAKER_01]: If you'd asked me a couple years ago, would I be excited for my saccharide tournament run?

02:26:26.406 --> 02:26:30.707
[SPEAKER_01]: My answer would have been no, but I've got a whole article about why that's changed.

02:26:30.947 --> 02:26:32.087
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to apologize to her.

02:26:32.547 --> 02:26:38.068
[SPEAKER_01]: She has done so much to grow and change, but that's, that's why you've keeping touch.

02:26:38.108 --> 02:26:42.049
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why people like KKMRA, who maybe hasn't pieced it all together yet.

02:26:42.729 --> 02:26:44.229
[SPEAKER_01]: You, you keep watching.

02:26:44.269 --> 02:26:50.210
[SPEAKER_01]: You keep keeping patients too, because as long as they care about wrestling, they're committed to improving and growing.

02:26:51.237 --> 02:26:52.338
[SPEAKER_01]: These things can change.

02:26:52.498 --> 02:26:55.040
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, my saccharide was on the other side of the dirty.

02:26:55.760 --> 02:26:59.803
[SPEAKER_01]: And you would have thought, had no hope, but she wanted to become a strong wrestler.

02:26:59.843 --> 02:27:01.505
[SPEAKER_01]: She changed agencies.

02:27:01.645 --> 02:27:03.146
[SPEAKER_01]: She would dedicate it to wrestling.

02:27:03.166 --> 02:27:07.769
[SPEAKER_01]: As we were saying, we'd check you go to, if you care about wrestling, you want to be a great wrestler.

02:27:08.330 --> 02:27:09.771
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of the key.

02:27:09.811 --> 02:27:15.035
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if you've got natural life, let us is in the stuff great, but you've got a care, you've got to want to grow.

02:27:15.575 --> 02:27:16.656
[SPEAKER_01]: My saccharide's proof of that.

02:27:17.231 --> 02:27:31.817
[SPEAKER_01]: Took her a couple years, but in a couple of years, you go from being long, it's kind of a running joke, I mean, to being one of the top wrestlers in a promotion, being kind of carrying it in a lot of ways and going to a veteran.

02:27:32.158 --> 02:27:36.739
[SPEAKER_01]: People are relying, you're putting on good matches, carrying the matches, shaping the future.

02:27:37.980 --> 02:27:43.122
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the exciting thing, you know, and this is the chance for everyone else to kind of become the next, my sack, all right.

02:27:43.843 --> 02:27:44.703
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the good thing, but

02:27:45.423 --> 02:27:54.047
[SPEAKER_01]: doesn't take away what's my secretary going to do in this tournament, who losses coming from because she's beaten just about everyone in this block except for Mariah.

02:27:54.767 --> 02:27:59.690
[SPEAKER_01]: So like any United National matches that come from this are going to be rematches.

02:27:59.730 --> 02:28:05.232
[SPEAKER_01]: People are going to have to change up their game to prove that they can potentially beat her in a championship match.

02:28:05.292 --> 02:28:08.894
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, we interesting to see what comes from it.

02:28:09.274 --> 02:28:14.777
[SPEAKER_01]: She's top three, not expecting it to be number one, though, who's tournament this year.

02:28:16.787 --> 02:28:17.347
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very true.

02:28:17.567 --> 02:28:18.087
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very true.

02:28:18.107 --> 02:28:18.948
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very good point.

02:28:20.608 --> 02:28:22.509
[SPEAKER_00]: She had a very strong single record.

02:28:22.549 --> 02:28:22.949
[SPEAKER_00]: You said it.

02:28:24.330 --> 02:28:25.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't said it yet.

02:28:25.230 --> 02:28:35.253
[SPEAKER_01]: She has the second best record in the tournament behind Chiaki who was just pure victories until when my sacrifice has a record of thirteen zero and one.

02:28:35.273 --> 02:28:39.014
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty good.

02:28:40.918 --> 02:28:41.359
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty good.

02:28:42.161 --> 02:28:47.071
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a shortcoming against Mariah in a fifteen minute exhibition match.

02:28:47.712 --> 02:28:51.595
[SPEAKER_00]: going to be interesting to see who she loses to a long way.

02:28:52.696 --> 02:28:58.561
[SPEAKER_00]: But before we move on to three matches, we'd like to highlight in the tournament.

02:28:58.661 --> 02:29:01.183
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's pick some MVP's for each block.

02:29:01.263 --> 02:29:03.324
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure we'll shock you with our picks.

02:29:04.345 --> 02:29:09.129
[SPEAKER_00]: I, of course, picking my UE with Tony to be the MVP of the Dream League.

02:29:09.890 --> 02:29:13.232
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure Trent's going to really go off the map here with this one.

02:29:13.352 --> 02:29:16.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Trent, who's your MVP pick for the Dream League?

02:29:18.582 --> 02:29:20.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's going to be my electronic.

02:29:21.984 --> 02:29:24.946
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't think I need to add much to that.

02:29:25.006 --> 02:29:26.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we look at the Star League.

02:29:26.547 --> 02:29:28.929
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's a little more open for discussion.

02:29:29.209 --> 02:29:31.630
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's certainly some options here.

02:29:31.670 --> 02:29:33.772
[SPEAKER_00]: You kind of look at schedule in some ways.

02:29:34.412 --> 02:29:35.473
[SPEAKER_00]: I look at matchups.

02:29:36.533 --> 02:29:38.755
[SPEAKER_00]: And you think who could be the MVP?

02:29:38.795 --> 02:29:47.060
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think you kind of I personally circle Miku and Mariah as the two goat shoes for that.

02:29:49.957 --> 02:29:51.479
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of toss up honestly.

02:29:51.499 --> 02:30:00.093
[SPEAKER_00]: I will decide based on how we finish here.

02:30:00.113 --> 02:30:03.198
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I'm going to go with

02:30:04.588 --> 02:30:10.672
[SPEAKER_00]: I think what the accolade she'll get this year isn't winning the tournament, but it will be being an MVP.

02:30:10.712 --> 02:30:11.933
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to give it to Mariah.

02:30:12.173 --> 02:30:13.874
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she finishes very strong.

02:30:14.554 --> 02:30:14.994
[SPEAKER_00]: I like her.

02:30:15.815 --> 02:30:18.537
[SPEAKER_00]: She wrestles the final three days of the tournament as well.

02:30:18.557 --> 02:30:19.777
[SPEAKER_00]: It gets me so much.

02:30:19.797 --> 02:30:21.278
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it was Naka and Chen Yota.

02:30:21.298 --> 02:30:23.239
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like those three matches could put her.

02:30:23.600 --> 02:30:24.260
[SPEAKER_00]: Give her the edge.

02:30:24.280 --> 02:30:27.122
[SPEAKER_00]: If those were all kind of like, oh, okay, like very impressive.

02:30:27.162 --> 02:30:32.185
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that'll give her the slight edge over Mikuano, but it's a real toss up.

02:30:34.240 --> 02:30:46.865
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this block I think it's, I mean, obviously our bias for my attorney probably favors in the, I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't do anything with bias.

02:30:46.926 --> 02:30:48.586
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what you're talking about.

02:30:48.606 --> 02:30:58.330
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm considering, you know, five of my top ten five-star Grand Prix matches last year with my attorney matches.

02:30:58.370 --> 02:30:59.151
[SPEAKER_01]: She has the proof.

02:31:00.248 --> 02:31:03.211
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, the proof is in the pudding and the pudding tastes good.

02:31:03.332 --> 02:31:04.433
[SPEAKER_01]: So it is what it is.

02:31:05.334 --> 02:31:10.380
[SPEAKER_01]: My MVP for the Star League is Archika Kochi.

02:31:10.460 --> 02:31:14.524
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a great, you know, yeah.

02:31:14.705 --> 02:31:16.707
[SPEAKER_00]: I show you go to those.

02:31:17.067 --> 02:31:19.330
[SPEAKER_00]: We got the little bit there and speaking of Marae,

02:31:20.536 --> 02:31:26.021
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna get into our top three matches that we're most looking forward to in this turn.

02:31:26.061 --> 02:31:36.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Hard to break it down the three obviously, but Trent, I will let you start and you, we kind of get a little mini draft here to pick our matches, which was kind of fun.

02:31:36.891 --> 02:31:40.794
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was, I believe, one of your first picks.

02:31:42.902 --> 02:31:44.102
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, but that's my first pick.

02:31:44.942 --> 02:31:56.525
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted something that maybe wasn't like everyone's first thought of when you think, you know, must watch matches because there's not a lot of story here, but like in terms of like, this is the first time single's match up.

02:31:57.045 --> 02:32:08.767
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I sort of saw the block matches and I thought, oh, Mariah and me some at Sui, this is very fascinating situation because me some at Sui is someone who's like, you think of Mariah's power.

02:32:08.787 --> 02:32:11.368
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually got to take a lot of those moves brilliantly.

02:32:11.928 --> 02:32:14.851
[SPEAKER_01]: But Marisa also someone who can accelerate really well.

02:32:15.191 --> 02:32:24.720
[SPEAKER_01]: So while she's not going to be able to keep up with psychospeed on pure pace, she can, like, she's not going to get left in the dust, which makes us some interesting contrast and dynamics.

02:32:25.301 --> 02:32:27.883
[SPEAKER_01]: These two are two of the best wrestlers in the company.

02:32:28.664 --> 02:32:34.670
[SPEAKER_01]: In a first time matchup that I think will mesh dolls really well and I think that's what makes this such a compelling matchup.

02:32:35.170 --> 02:32:39.254
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not on one of the big hurricane holes or the Lachen Juku faces.

02:32:39.735 --> 02:32:44.239
[SPEAKER_01]: It would be easy if you're not paying full attention for this to fly on the radar.

02:32:44.840 --> 02:32:50.025
[SPEAKER_01]: I would strongly recommend that you don't let it fly on the radar because I think this will be a highlight match.

02:32:52.086 --> 02:32:54.108
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a great choice and I think it's a choice.

02:32:56.470 --> 02:33:11.824
[SPEAKER_00]: The way I have my matches, the even is kind of falling your theme of under and then, you know, the big hype to match is so my under the radar match that I picked from was none other than Tori Zuki versus Ray Setto.

02:33:11.844 --> 02:33:13.466
[SPEAKER_00]: I love myself a good rivalry.

02:33:13.506 --> 02:33:15.708
[SPEAKER_00]: I like my, I like a good match where

02:33:17.412 --> 02:33:19.593
[SPEAKER_00]: These two just kind of hate each other all of a sudden.

02:33:20.013 --> 02:33:26.415
[SPEAKER_00]: And if we're going to go off their super fly chip, she'll match really this year, they have very good chemistry to back it up.

02:33:27.415 --> 02:33:35.998
[SPEAKER_00]: Rhea Setto, getting the win over Victoria Zuke and Junjuku face would be a hell of a moment for her, however, redemption moment for her.

02:33:36.038 --> 02:33:39.259
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think these two will be very determined to

02:33:41.119 --> 02:33:41.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Surprise.

02:33:41.960 --> 02:33:50.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, it comes down to surprise for a lot of new viewers here who may be check this one out, check this show out, you know, you're going to be there for a certain other match.

02:33:52.027 --> 02:33:57.531
[SPEAKER_00]: But these two have all the potential, you know, this is young margo, I'm full display as well, which I think is very important.

02:33:59.592 --> 02:34:03.957
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you look at the field what matches have the most heat to them.

02:34:04.057 --> 02:34:04.838
[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of them.

02:34:05.079 --> 02:34:05.639
[SPEAKER_00]: It really is.

02:34:05.940 --> 02:34:11.767
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I think they're going to go out there with a determination and I think it's going to be really good.

02:34:11.867 --> 02:34:16.933
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's one that it's my under the radar pick when it's one I really, really excited for.

02:34:18.157 --> 02:34:22.399
[SPEAKER_01]: There's another really big reason why people should check this match out.

02:34:22.540 --> 02:34:24.541
[SPEAKER_01]: Victoria, you see, he called this match out.

02:34:24.561 --> 02:34:25.901
[SPEAKER_01]: It was one of two she wanted.

02:34:26.502 --> 02:34:34.866
[SPEAKER_01]: In an interview with a certain Scott E. wrestling on fightful.com before all the Kofafel River air said I betraying her.

02:34:34.886 --> 02:34:37.028
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is a match she had circled before.

02:34:37.088 --> 02:34:39.989
[SPEAKER_01]: She had reason to revenge.

02:34:40.109 --> 02:34:41.830
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's my trance here.

02:34:41.890 --> 02:34:44.612
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can remember things that I don't remember from my own stuff.

02:34:45.822 --> 02:34:48.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, next choice is a great one.

02:34:50.526 --> 02:34:58.473
[SPEAKER_01]: Super rookie, twenty eighteen versus super rookie, twenty fifteen is the sequel better than the original Batman but again versus the Dark Knight.

02:35:01.223 --> 02:35:06.046
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need to tell you the comparisons would be making them further past two and a half hours.

02:35:06.366 --> 02:35:08.507
[SPEAKER_01]: People have been making them since January.

02:35:08.527 --> 02:35:09.327
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not December.

02:35:09.627 --> 02:35:13.609
[SPEAKER_01]: Really when it was first announced, it say, it was a steeper rookie coming into my regular.

02:35:13.890 --> 02:35:17.011
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think like the the names have been justified.

02:35:17.111 --> 02:35:22.834
[SPEAKER_01]: She's more than aunt the title and she's more than aunt the comparisons to her Tommy, but this is the test.

02:35:23.314 --> 02:35:26.036
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, can she stand up to the person she's been compared to?

02:35:26.701 --> 02:35:28.222
[SPEAKER_01]: the world champion.

02:35:29.222 --> 02:35:32.704
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really excited for this because their styles should mesh really well.

02:35:33.684 --> 02:35:43.649
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, yeah, this is going to be one of those matches where Tommy gives a lot, but she's also going to want to remind people that she was the original and best super rookie.

02:35:43.669 --> 02:35:54.574
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going, she's going to give us good as she gets, and I think Sari is going to use this as an opportunity to kind of maybe showcase that amateur wrestling is better than judo as well.

02:35:56.505 --> 02:35:57.066
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that.

02:35:57.166 --> 02:35:58.607
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that clashing style.

02:35:58.667 --> 02:36:01.129
[SPEAKER_00]: I think these two are going to have a fantastic match worth noting.

02:36:01.830 --> 02:36:08.556
[SPEAKER_00]: I just wanted to say the dates of each match that we just went through actually just so people can keep it on their radar.

02:36:08.576 --> 02:36:12.360
[SPEAKER_00]: My driver is going to meet the Matsui happens on September six date and

02:36:13.401 --> 02:36:18.083
[SPEAKER_00]: of the tournament, the match eye pick was Victoria Yuzuki versus Rizeta.

02:36:18.103 --> 02:36:18.964
[SPEAKER_00]: That's day nine.

02:36:18.984 --> 02:36:19.984
[SPEAKER_00]: That's September second.

02:36:20.324 --> 02:36:22.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Then this one is August, sixteenth.

02:36:22.706 --> 02:36:24.086
[SPEAKER_00]: So you don't have to wait too long.

02:36:24.227 --> 02:36:26.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's stay five in Chiba.

02:36:26.168 --> 02:36:27.248
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the highlight matches.

02:36:27.308 --> 02:36:28.589
[SPEAKER_00]: Only two matches on that day.

02:36:28.649 --> 02:36:30.170
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely get its time.

02:36:30.610 --> 02:36:37.494
[SPEAKER_00]: And very likely the main event, speaking of a main event, I'm not waiting long for one of my picks.

02:36:37.574 --> 02:36:38.955
[SPEAKER_00]: I just sometimes.

02:36:39.715 --> 02:36:41.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you just gotta go to the well.

02:36:41.637 --> 02:36:45.561
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you're just gonna be like, listen, I know what these two could do.

02:36:46.282 --> 02:36:47.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I've waited long enough.

02:36:47.283 --> 02:36:52.248
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been two long since make you, I don't know, and Mariah tried to kill each other for fifteen minutes.

02:36:53.263 --> 02:36:53.783
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back.

02:36:54.123 --> 02:36:54.584
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back.

02:36:54.604 --> 02:36:56.524
[SPEAKER_00]: This is going to be the second match of their day.

02:36:56.944 --> 02:37:04.608
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're going to act like they didn't have anything before that because there is no rivalry that feels forever.

02:37:05.228 --> 02:37:05.988
[SPEAKER_00]: More than this one.

02:37:06.028 --> 02:37:10.690
[SPEAKER_00]: This rivalry is going to go for years and years and years and years and years.

02:37:11.050 --> 02:37:17.273
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's something very special about Mikuano's potential road to the world title.

02:37:18.773 --> 02:37:20.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Once again, starting with Mirai.

02:37:22.315 --> 02:37:29.584
[SPEAKER_00]: However, half of a matchup, I like it being at the beginning of the tournament because again, it just feels like, oh, we're starting with this again.

02:37:29.604 --> 02:37:31.086
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, sounds good.

02:37:32.969 --> 02:37:36.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if this was the match of the tournament, no one would be shocked.

02:37:37.294 --> 02:37:40.638
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the opening night though, so it's going to have a lot of competition throughout.

02:37:41.259 --> 02:37:45.340
[SPEAKER_00]: But they're going to say, I think they're going to set the bar for what is to come in.

02:37:45.881 --> 02:37:53.923
[SPEAKER_00]: They should they had like five was four matches last year in a month span and they were all great.

02:37:54.183 --> 02:37:54.644
[SPEAKER_00]: So like

02:37:56.136 --> 02:37:57.056
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're better now.

02:37:57.516 --> 02:37:58.057
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the thing.

02:37:58.077 --> 02:37:59.277
[SPEAKER_00]: They're both just better.

02:37:59.297 --> 02:38:00.497
[SPEAKER_01]: They had four matches.

02:38:00.977 --> 02:38:07.619
[SPEAKER_01]: People would kind of, it was one of those things where I was like, okay, you pull in our leg Rossi and by the end of it, people were like, no, keep going.

02:38:07.699 --> 02:38:08.119
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep going.

02:38:08.380 --> 02:38:16.682
[SPEAKER_01]: It reached that point where people were sick of the joke, but it was so good that people just kept going because they were that good.

02:38:16.722 --> 02:38:18.442
[SPEAKER_01]: The matches just hit each time.

02:38:18.482 --> 02:38:20.523
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, we've been deprived of it for a year.

02:38:22.417 --> 02:38:23.978
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, give us more.

02:38:24.038 --> 02:38:25.679
[SPEAKER_00]: Give us a few seconds one.

02:38:25.699 --> 02:38:32.944
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people are like, they're doing a third one and then the third one happened to like, I remind you, as you will.

02:38:33.765 --> 02:38:37.327
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is your final recommendation.

02:38:37.387 --> 02:38:39.128
[SPEAKER_00]: But boy, a boy is a good one.

02:38:40.990 --> 02:38:41.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Be gone.

02:38:41.450 --> 02:38:41.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back.

02:38:44.493 --> 02:38:50.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, look, there's a reason why we were tossing up between Ryan, me and I for style again VP because she is that damn good.

02:38:51.876 --> 02:38:56.619
[SPEAKER_01]: Final night, there's a lot of stake for her against my saccharide.

02:38:57.119 --> 02:38:59.520
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this could determine who's advancing to the block.

02:38:59.940 --> 02:39:02.081
[SPEAKER_01]: They had a fantastic match to start the year.

02:39:02.561 --> 02:39:05.963
[SPEAKER_01]: And like the one complaint I've seen from that match was that.

02:39:06.403 --> 02:39:13.769
[SPEAKER_01]: They probably dragged it out a bit too long, especially my sacrifice at the time was probably a bit longer than what was truly comfortable.

02:39:14.249 --> 02:39:15.490
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not going to be an issue here.

02:39:15.530 --> 02:39:18.753
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got fifteen minutes, so it's going to be the best to both of them here.

02:39:19.654 --> 02:39:33.205
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think, you know, given the circumstances final night to the best wrestlers in the block, both looking to make a point, top wrestler, top champion, top contender to advance, Hurricane Hall, hot crowd,

02:39:34.041 --> 02:39:36.984
[SPEAKER_01]: This could be matches the night match of the tournament.

02:39:38.345 --> 02:39:50.037
[SPEAKER_01]: And just also that kind of I think both room probably also want to prove themselves better than the other in the ring, which a lot of this tournament is going to be in general on different degrees.

02:39:50.277 --> 02:39:51.619
[SPEAKER_01]: This is another one of those matches.

02:39:51.639 --> 02:39:53.821
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be really spicy.

02:39:56.340 --> 02:39:56.980
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great book.

02:39:57.180 --> 02:39:57.821
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great pick.

02:39:57.861 --> 02:40:00.442
[SPEAKER_00]: I was between this and the Mariah one obviously.

02:40:00.582 --> 02:40:02.363
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to meet you on a match highlighted.

02:40:04.204 --> 02:40:08.966
[SPEAKER_00]: But no pick was a quicker first pick for me than my final match.

02:40:09.807 --> 02:40:11.568
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very rare if ever.

02:40:11.588 --> 02:40:13.389
[SPEAKER_00]: I probably may be a first time ever.

02:40:13.409 --> 02:40:15.170
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be most type matches.

02:40:15.230 --> 02:40:19.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the most type match in terms of just overall what's this going to be.

02:40:20.933 --> 02:40:36.321
[SPEAKER_00]: Features two rookies, but Siri Omio can say, Cassie, finally, finally go to war, finally go one on one, at Shinjuku face, the home of the sun god.

02:40:37.582 --> 02:40:39.443
[SPEAKER_00]: Just, I mean, it's just perfect.

02:40:39.483 --> 02:40:42.285
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, everything comes together for me on this one.

02:40:43.717 --> 02:40:48.500
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's something so perfect about them starting in Shinjuku face.

02:40:48.520 --> 02:40:51.441
[SPEAKER_00]: Because something tells me, they're gonna have many matches through their years.

02:40:51.901 --> 02:40:54.023
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, we could have put it a cork and haul.

02:40:54.583 --> 02:40:55.623
[SPEAKER_00]: What have been fitting?

02:40:55.783 --> 02:41:01.026
[SPEAKER_00]: But what have got the necessary focus on a final night that maybe they want it to?

02:41:01.206 --> 02:41:06.049
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, as I thought about it, there's something right about starting a Shinjuku face.

02:41:06.429 --> 02:41:07.850
[SPEAKER_00]: The next time the cork and haul.

02:41:08.771 --> 02:41:18.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Building and building because eventually these two are going to have a match at a building that is going to be so big that you're going to remember this one and be like, I don't know where they started.

02:41:18.875 --> 02:41:21.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember where they start against one another.

02:41:22.076 --> 02:41:25.357
[SPEAKER_00]: These two have so very clearly.

02:41:27.043 --> 02:41:28.343
[SPEAKER_00]: built together.

02:41:28.904 --> 02:41:34.125
[SPEAKER_00]: You've watched three, I mean, you could grow, you've watched saying a costume grow, and they're doing so together.

02:41:34.245 --> 02:41:35.966
[SPEAKER_00]: They're learning together.

02:41:36.526 --> 02:41:45.729
[SPEAKER_00]: They've had chemistry and every tag match they've had, and they just have an overall heat to the match that, you know, there may not be a bigger rivalry match than this one.

02:41:46.369 --> 02:41:52.551
[SPEAKER_00]: In this entire tournament, and I just said, Mikuano versus Marae, you just said Mikuano versus my sack, right?

02:41:52.991 --> 02:41:55.592
[SPEAKER_00]: But listen, these two are always ready to fight.

02:41:56.492 --> 02:41:58.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Suriyamioka finally got with the program.

02:41:58.654 --> 02:42:01.157
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she's ready to fight at every press conference.

02:42:01.197 --> 02:42:02.278
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just how it goes.

02:42:03.319 --> 02:42:06.181
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't be more hyped for this match.

02:42:07.242 --> 02:42:15.791
[SPEAKER_00]: It's as good as it gets in terms of, you know, two rookies just ready to leave it all out there and it's going to be awesome.

02:42:16.972 --> 02:42:20.395
[SPEAKER_00]: So with that, people may be wondering.

02:42:21.843 --> 02:42:26.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Something's missing from the Trenton Scott Tomory.

02:42:26.626 --> 02:42:27.907
[SPEAKER_00]: No cheeky guy don't match us.

02:42:29.288 --> 02:42:29.929
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

02:42:30.309 --> 02:42:33.931
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really talked a lot of hype and then perceived not to pick any of the matches.

02:42:34.752 --> 02:42:35.372
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.

02:42:36.673 --> 02:42:38.194
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not what I was talking about though.

02:42:39.415 --> 02:42:50.063
[SPEAKER_00]: Me and me and Trent decided why don't we highlight three matches outside of a certain set because really

02:42:51.617 --> 02:43:09.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Our entire list could have just been this, or this, oops, sorry, click it too fast, or this, or this, or this, or this, or this, and the podcast list is, um, or this, he's showing all of my irritantees matches.

02:43:09.790 --> 02:43:10.731
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I am.

02:43:10.871 --> 02:43:12.612
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go through them real quick.

02:43:12.692 --> 02:43:15.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Shall we on the opening night?

02:43:16.914 --> 02:43:26.999
[SPEAKER_00]: of the dream stock ran pre Mayu Botanigo's one-on-one with Sankha Akotsky in the very first match of her dream league tournament.

02:43:28.619 --> 02:43:33.542
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that would have certainly been on my list, but you know what?

02:43:33.562 --> 02:43:36.023
[SPEAKER_00]: What have been my first pick if I had choices?

02:43:37.969 --> 02:43:41.512
[SPEAKER_00]: She then goes again, Siri, I'm okay in the night cap because why not?

02:43:41.572 --> 02:43:45.414
[SPEAKER_00]: Why don't we just have my face both super rookies in one night?

02:43:46.555 --> 02:43:49.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Just on kind of unreal to think about quite frankly.

02:43:50.057 --> 02:43:52.999
[SPEAKER_00]: And then her third match is against Reocetta.

02:43:53.039 --> 02:43:55.321
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just keep going against the young crew.

02:43:55.741 --> 02:43:58.203
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll be in the Sendai pit, but we're not done there.

02:43:58.243 --> 02:43:59.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would we be done there?

02:43:59.264 --> 02:44:04.347
[SPEAKER_00]: And then she faces the Tommy High Shista in what is the most

02:44:07.342 --> 02:44:13.319
[SPEAKER_00]: had line match of the entire tournament it's like okay this is this is the one obviously

02:44:14.345 --> 02:44:15.326
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably.

02:44:16.047 --> 02:44:21.251
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably your favorite to be the match of the tournament quite easily, just based on their history.

02:44:22.372 --> 02:44:23.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Going to be phenomenal.

02:44:24.234 --> 02:44:35.344
[SPEAKER_00]: And then she faces Koki and Mari in the first time ever match it should do to face that I'm fascinated to see I think she's going to do our best to maybe be what Mariah was to Koki last year.

02:44:35.364 --> 02:44:38.967
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's kind of high view that match likely the main event of that show.

02:44:39.748 --> 02:44:41.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Then she faces Chiyaki.

02:44:41.210 --> 02:44:46.497
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a match kind of on its own, on its own island on that very day.

02:44:46.577 --> 02:44:48.900
[SPEAKER_00]: So that should be a really cool opportunity for Chiyaki.

02:44:48.941 --> 02:44:55.750
[SPEAKER_00]: She seems to have taken a liking to Chiyaki based on how many times Chiyaki is doing shenanigans to her on every single match they have.

02:44:57.768 --> 02:45:04.234
[SPEAKER_00]: And then your final nights, the rematch, Mayu, Yutani versus Victoria, Yuzuki.

02:45:05.055 --> 02:45:09.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Can Victoria Yuzuki do what Starlight Kid and Tam Nakano never did?

02:45:10.079 --> 02:45:12.321
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's beat Mayu, Yutani.

02:45:14.884 --> 02:45:15.524
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe someday?

02:45:15.544 --> 02:45:18.507
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if this is the day, but

02:45:19.655 --> 02:45:21.336
[SPEAKER_00]: had to get my, I had to get my knocking.

02:45:22.818 --> 02:45:27.581
[SPEAKER_00]: It was right there, but obviously we didn't want to just do a, do a, my, you, my list.

02:45:27.601 --> 02:45:29.483
[SPEAKER_00]: So we just thought, why don't we just name all seven?

02:45:29.543 --> 02:45:33.246
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I think all seven do have some great anticipation.

02:45:33.266 --> 02:45:37.109
[SPEAKER_00]: But that brings us to two final things.

02:45:38.330 --> 02:45:44.975
[SPEAKER_00]: First up, I think it's fun to do this upset of the tournament.

02:45:45.670 --> 02:45:51.276
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where I bring in the handy-dandy schedule that my good friend Dylan Murray made.

02:45:51.296 --> 02:45:55.081
[SPEAKER_00]: The great schedule keep track of everything going on.

02:45:55.541 --> 02:45:58.244
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll also update throughout the entire tournament.

02:45:58.304 --> 02:46:02.269
[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll get the records and everything through the blocks and so on and so forth.

02:46:04.485 --> 02:46:05.686
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at this schedule.

02:46:05.966 --> 02:46:09.190
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at what is a great upset.

02:46:09.250 --> 02:46:11.832
[SPEAKER_00]: What does an upset that you think will happen?

02:46:11.892 --> 02:46:14.635
[SPEAKER_00]: So Trent, let's you go first.

02:46:15.155 --> 02:46:16.236
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm the host after all.

02:46:16.256 --> 02:46:17.898
[SPEAKER_00]: It's only right that I let you go first.

02:46:18.559 --> 02:46:21.722
[SPEAKER_00]: What day should I be going to for that major upset?

02:46:22.828 --> 02:46:26.070
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to go far, because this is a Rossi Agawa book show.

02:46:26.991 --> 02:46:30.373
[SPEAKER_01]: And Rossi Agawa likes he's not one or day one upsets.

02:46:30.653 --> 02:46:31.633
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw it last year.

02:46:31.653 --> 02:46:34.335
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Gießen is Archie bidding a Tommy Hoshishista.

02:46:34.695 --> 02:46:46.382
[SPEAKER_01]: There's always an upset on the first day to kind of surprise everyone to remind everyone that there's you can never be truly comfortable with all our claims like this person's going to win these matches and all that.

02:46:47.873 --> 02:46:49.776
[SPEAKER_01]: always an upset hero there.

02:46:50.376 --> 02:46:53.821
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm possibly going involved considering some of the things were said.

02:46:55.283 --> 02:47:01.771
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm picking the super rookie, Sarah Yamaoka, to beat my Uatani on not one.

02:47:03.399 --> 02:47:07.563
[SPEAKER_01]: especially given seeing how they've interacted in the past couple of weeks.

02:47:07.643 --> 02:47:11.066
[SPEAKER_01]: My is still clearly not a hundred percent with her ribs.

02:47:11.567 --> 02:47:21.055
[SPEAKER_01]: Whenever she takes a hit or two there, she's double-diver and Sarah E. Man handled her when they faced off with the veterans versus youngsters.

02:47:21.656 --> 02:47:23.718
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, turn back and turn buckle stuff

02:47:24.502 --> 02:47:35.725
[SPEAKER_01]: Given the way she wrestles, I think that is the perfect kind of announcement of, here we are, and especially with the way the matches are set up for that final night.

02:47:36.465 --> 02:47:43.647
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, yeah, like my, you might need to win there and say, you might need a loss in order for certain things to shake out.

02:47:45.196 --> 02:48:13.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that a lot that will be very interesting if the super rookie can beat my you on her very first night mind you and if you've watched my you tournaments her and the first day of a tournament not the best luck for last year really when she was not being booked by the same person as usual or to be fair the person she faced off in the first night now

02:48:15.070 --> 02:48:16.851
[SPEAKER_01]: didn't have the best running the tournament.

02:48:17.091 --> 02:48:20.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, little did we know that that person's gonna go in six.

02:48:21.373 --> 02:48:22.673
[SPEAKER_00]: That's neither here nor there.

02:48:23.453 --> 02:48:24.774
[SPEAKER_00]: I like to look to the final night.

02:48:24.814 --> 02:48:26.875
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like the final night is where you get.

02:48:28.142 --> 02:48:31.864
[SPEAKER_00]: big upset, you know, where does someone get eliminated?

02:48:31.904 --> 02:48:33.125
[SPEAKER_00]: How does someone get eliminated?

02:48:33.145 --> 02:48:36.046
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like there's a lot of prime matchups here, Chen.

02:48:36.066 --> 02:48:37.847
[SPEAKER_00]: The other verse is right.

02:48:37.907 --> 02:48:40.648
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds like pretty good upset.

02:48:41.489 --> 02:48:47.372
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we've been hinting a lot at Sankha and Rhea Setto as a pretty good upset.

02:48:49.193 --> 02:48:53.595
[SPEAKER_00]: Koki taking out the world champion would be a pretty good upset.

02:48:56.290 --> 02:49:06.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Tori Yuzuki, taking out Maya Uitani, kind of like the unbelievable thing, just based on, you know, history, right?

02:49:06.476 --> 02:49:14.401
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Maya doesn't lose to the, Maya doesn't lose to her student ever.

02:49:14.761 --> 02:49:16.142
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a thing that happens.

02:49:19.204 --> 02:49:22.026
[SPEAKER_00]: How bold do I want to get to question it?

02:49:23.818 --> 02:49:25.559
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, how bold do I want to get?

02:49:26.559 --> 02:49:27.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Because here's the thing.

02:49:28.400 --> 02:49:30.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty confident.

02:49:30.400 --> 02:49:33.021
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I'm really tired.

02:49:33.041 --> 02:49:34.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I was in pay block listening.

02:49:34.462 --> 02:49:35.222
[SPEAKER_00]: You can get a daughter.

02:49:35.242 --> 02:49:35.582
[SPEAKER_00]: She won't.

02:49:35.622 --> 02:49:36.142
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

02:49:36.162 --> 02:49:38.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like me can win over my soccer.

02:49:38.263 --> 02:49:43.525
[SPEAKER_00]: I could be like one of those, you know, go to a draw maybe and get me to end time thing.

02:49:43.605 --> 02:49:45.926
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, maybe that'll be the draw of the night.

02:49:48.006 --> 02:49:50.027
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with

02:49:56.375 --> 02:49:58.096
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with the craziness.

02:49:58.296 --> 02:49:58.696
[SPEAKER_00]: Why not?

02:49:59.197 --> 02:50:03.880
[SPEAKER_00]: Victoria Suzuki beats Mario Yutani on the final night of the dream star final.

02:50:04.640 --> 02:50:08.342
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how these super rookies say Riyamioka gets in.

02:50:10.104 --> 02:50:15.347
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a nice life in our icon and all the fight in the world in Rossi Bulls.

02:50:15.747 --> 02:50:16.668
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, here's the here.

02:50:16.968 --> 02:50:19.410
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I want to give like the reasoning here.

02:50:21.271 --> 02:50:22.412
[SPEAKER_00]: And you, you know this.

02:50:23.932 --> 02:50:31.155
[SPEAKER_00]: There is very little of me that sees Rossi giving away my Uversus Mikuano on the final night.

02:50:31.956 --> 02:50:33.897
[SPEAKER_00]: So we gotta take her out somehow.

02:50:35.557 --> 02:50:39.839
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like we gotta get her out of it because I think you and me can kind of agree.

02:50:40.340 --> 02:50:41.780
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Mikuano's turn.

02:50:42.661 --> 02:50:46.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, or at least she's winning the Star League at the very least.

02:50:46.362 --> 02:50:47.663
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't speak for you yet.

02:50:50.704 --> 02:50:52.105
[SPEAKER_00]: But we gotta get my U out.

02:50:53.132 --> 02:50:57.816
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Rossi never goes to the biggest match on the finals, right?

02:50:58.256 --> 02:51:00.278
[SPEAKER_00]: You go through the five stars through the years.

02:51:00.298 --> 02:51:01.559
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at twenty, twenty.

02:51:02.159 --> 02:51:05.822
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Utami versus Hameka, right?

02:51:05.922 --> 02:51:10.506
[SPEAKER_00]: That wasn't at the time, massive match, bro, build up Hameka, obviously.

02:51:11.227 --> 02:51:12.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Twenty, twenty, one.

02:51:13.228 --> 02:51:14.329
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, Mama fans.

02:51:14.629 --> 02:51:16.571
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Sherry versus Mama Watson, Abe.

02:51:18.167 --> 02:51:22.271
[SPEAKER_00]: At the time, once upon a time, people, you know, Julie was being Bob obviously, she got hurt.

02:51:24.962 --> 02:51:29.426
[SPEAKER_00]: He went back to a rematch, which was very unique at the time, Julia and Tam.

02:51:29.767 --> 02:51:33.330
[SPEAKER_00]: I could have went pre-twenty-twenty to really help this in defining this.

02:51:33.390 --> 02:51:42.139
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Hannah and Konami there before that, Maya and Utami there before that, just to give you an idea for the idea.

02:51:42.179 --> 02:51:44.681
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't go to the biggest match.

02:51:44.721 --> 02:51:46.143
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to give that away at the core.

02:51:46.183 --> 02:51:48.405
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't like it, the turn of final is going to sell itself.

02:51:49.933 --> 02:51:52.436
[SPEAKER_00]: My old point is, gotta keep my you out.

02:51:52.516 --> 02:51:58.864
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I'm kind of falling with what you said, right, in terms of the Suriyamioka upset.

02:51:59.785 --> 02:52:01.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine my youth two losses.

02:52:02.809 --> 02:52:05.451
[SPEAKER_00]: where it's a say, Riyamioka and Victoria Zuki.

02:52:06.051 --> 02:52:13.655
[SPEAKER_00]: Doyle boy with that be a sign of what she's willing to do and wants to do for this company and what they're trying to do with those two.

02:52:14.136 --> 02:52:20.499
[SPEAKER_00]: I could also see, honestly, an upset person might just be Zuki getting a draw on a mind you want that in that, you know?

02:52:21.640 --> 02:52:29.865
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm trying to keep my you out because again, I just can't see them doing that match and match that should mean event.

02:52:31.397 --> 02:52:32.878
[SPEAKER_00]: their biggest show next year.

02:52:33.118 --> 02:52:33.458
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

02:52:34.459 --> 02:52:37.640
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it draws very likely.

02:52:37.820 --> 02:52:43.603
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they saved the jukey win for a bigger platform in itself.

02:52:43.743 --> 02:52:44.744
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I agree.

02:52:45.024 --> 02:52:45.744
[SPEAKER_01]: Very possible.

02:52:46.285 --> 02:52:52.908
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to say, again, I thought that we were saving the kid and team victories for a bigger platform.

02:52:53.268 --> 02:52:57.410
[SPEAKER_01]: And that bigger platform was the collective dreams of every fan.

02:52:57.530 --> 02:52:57.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

02:52:59.011 --> 02:53:02.994
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with a draw to keep you to keep my you out.

02:53:03.014 --> 02:53:07.937
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's more fitting, but it's still a major upset because like you said, we go off her history.

02:53:08.257 --> 02:53:09.277
[SPEAKER_00]: She never lost the kid.

02:53:09.498 --> 02:53:10.498
[SPEAKER_00]: She ever tied the kid.

02:53:10.518 --> 02:53:15.501
[SPEAKER_00]: She did tie with Tam, but I mean, Tam was a main event or by that point, and she still didn't beat her.

02:53:15.541 --> 02:53:19.023
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think a draw with these two keys, a big lift for you, Zuki.

02:53:19.924 --> 02:53:26.148
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, gets maybe Ciri Amiokin or Koki Amari, even like I don't know.

02:53:26.508 --> 02:53:32.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, I can think very good shout for advancing to I think, but hey, we're not here to pick the runner up.

02:53:32.703 --> 02:53:34.327
[SPEAKER_00]: We're here to pick the winner at the end of the day.

02:53:36.133 --> 02:53:42.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Have we telegraphed it a bit with a little bit, but I'm just seeing stars all the time.

02:53:42.215 --> 02:53:46.636
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, Mikuano, Mikuano is winning this year's tournament.

02:53:46.757 --> 02:53:57.060
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think, you know, one of my favorite things of how these things can be booked is sometimes you just kind of telegraph a winner because it's the right winner.

02:53:58.009 --> 02:54:01.311
[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of those times, Mikuano is the right winner.

02:54:01.811 --> 02:54:06.473
[SPEAKER_00]: She feels like the person ready to win this tournament, to go on in face with Tommy.

02:54:06.633 --> 02:54:08.474
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think, be, do Tommy.

02:54:09.134 --> 02:54:11.155
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's up for debate either.

02:54:12.876 --> 02:54:17.718
[SPEAKER_00]: We've kind of talkeder and hyped her up as she's ready throughout this whole thing.

02:54:17.738 --> 02:54:26.722
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we have to give too to much on why she's our pick but Trent, just to give a few words, a one-week battle, makes sense as the dream star winner.

02:54:28.295 --> 02:54:39.641
[SPEAKER_01]: She is kind of the next main event to her parent and the best way to set someone up who hasn't made me fulfill that role consistently is to give them the big spotlight moment.

02:54:39.821 --> 02:54:43.683
[SPEAKER_01]: Part of that was in the night like a Hashi retirement match, but the

02:54:44.080 --> 02:54:48.162
[SPEAKER_01]: The best way in classic kind of Josie booking is the tournament victory.

02:54:49.122 --> 02:54:51.603
[SPEAKER_01]: The dreams are gone pretty as the perfect way to establish it.

02:54:51.663 --> 02:54:58.406
[SPEAKER_01]: I think utami winning last year kind of established the value of it because everyone knows how big utami is.

02:54:58.486 --> 02:54:59.727
[SPEAKER_01]: So her winning made it.

02:55:00.427 --> 02:55:06.212
[SPEAKER_01]: a big deal, and now Mick or I and I winning kind of puts her on that pedestal reminds everyone how it is.

02:55:06.292 --> 02:55:11.877
[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously we don't know where a potential championship match will be coming from.

02:55:11.917 --> 02:55:15.140
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a paper view in January last year.

02:55:15.700 --> 02:55:22.787
[SPEAKER_01]: person this year, but from last year's time, personally I do think it will be the Rio Goku Grand Destiny, the main event.

02:55:22.927 --> 02:55:30.655
[SPEAKER_01]: It just makes sense this show happening August September for an October show, like it just lines up perfectly with the size of it.

02:55:31.476 --> 02:55:36.321
[SPEAKER_01]: And Miku, I don't know if someone you could put in the main event of that, especially in the first time match up with you, Tommy.

02:55:37.121 --> 02:55:38.583
[SPEAKER_01]: It's logical booking, you know.

02:55:39.368 --> 02:55:45.692
[SPEAKER_01]: If it was just going to be a Kirk and Holshade, maybe you could give like a big spotlight moment for a Sarah Yammer or something.

02:55:45.792 --> 02:55:55.619
[SPEAKER_01]: But with that in mind, where my heart is saying, you need someone who is unestablished, big enough star already to kind of handle the pressure of a real Goku main event.

02:55:57.557 --> 02:55:59.639
[SPEAKER_01]: the stars are lining up for a mecoeine.

02:55:59.719 --> 02:56:02.421
[SPEAKER_01]: It just makes sense for her, makes sense for the company.

02:56:02.981 --> 02:56:04.702
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes sense for a storytelling perspective.

02:56:04.742 --> 02:56:08.925
[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes even if it is predictable, predictable can be good in wrestling.

02:56:08.945 --> 02:56:14.149
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't need to swear for the sake of surprising fans when the story is logical and makes sense.

02:56:14.689 --> 02:56:17.291
[SPEAKER_01]: The journey is just as important as the destination.

02:56:18.812 --> 02:56:20.113
[SPEAKER_00]: Totally agree.

02:56:20.233 --> 02:56:22.834
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think her journey could be a very exciting one.

02:56:22.854 --> 02:56:26.477
[SPEAKER_00]: For what it's worth, what is your final?

02:56:29.062 --> 02:56:43.329
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think it's going to be, say, yeah, my hope if this is me, Carolina, because of what you said, kind of protecting the my versus a match plus I think there is enough kind of with that super rookie aspect, like if they're going to announce at the main event.

02:56:43.830 --> 02:56:48.232
[SPEAKER_01]: Little winner gets the grandest and amount event yet if they keep that in the back pocket.

02:56:48.839 --> 02:56:54.105
[SPEAKER_01]: I think enough people would be kind of like, I could see them giving it to Sariyama.

02:56:54.245 --> 02:57:01.152
[SPEAKER_01]: As we've mentioned, if one knows how Rossi books the super rookie would it surprise you if Sariyama won a tournament here?

02:57:02.373 --> 02:57:03.314
[SPEAKER_00]: No, not at all.

02:57:03.334 --> 02:57:08.117
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's her challenging at first dream one year after her debut.

02:57:08.958 --> 02:57:10.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't line up more perfect.

02:57:11.119 --> 02:57:14.041
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that kind of just jumps off the page, right?

02:57:14.101 --> 02:57:15.062
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a possibility.

02:57:15.622 --> 02:57:16.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm with you.

02:57:16.663 --> 02:57:18.024
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the idea of

02:57:20.032 --> 02:57:28.073
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of the two upsets we put together, you know, you do you go into a draw and maybe Siri getting the win over my you on that opening.

02:57:28.173 --> 02:57:29.374
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just shocking fashion.

02:57:29.694 --> 02:57:32.334
[SPEAKER_00]: They ended up being tied in points and Siri has the win.

02:57:32.374 --> 02:57:33.474
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how she advances.

02:57:34.414 --> 02:57:37.175
[SPEAKER_00]: She was so me who I don't know in the end, which is fine.

02:57:37.195 --> 02:57:42.336
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I think that's kind of where I'm at.

02:57:42.636 --> 02:57:45.016
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think it's a good way to go because.

02:57:45.036 --> 02:57:49.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Three on the oak is more ready now than or Tommy was.

02:57:51.375 --> 02:57:51.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

02:57:53.596 --> 02:57:54.236
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.

02:57:54.956 --> 02:57:56.897
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand, like, people might listen to this.

02:57:56.917 --> 02:58:02.639
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, if you, you know, you look at the field, it's like, why would you put her?

02:58:03.019 --> 02:58:06.561
[SPEAKER_00]: Because she's that level of future star.

02:58:06.641 --> 02:58:07.161
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why.

02:58:07.781 --> 02:58:14.944
[SPEAKER_00]: And based on booking past elevating someone in the defeat role is one that

02:58:16.795 --> 02:58:17.936
[SPEAKER_00]: is just a constant.

02:58:18.096 --> 02:58:20.818
[SPEAKER_00]: And she is someone who is very much that.

02:58:20.858 --> 02:58:23.880
[SPEAKER_00]: But like we said, I wouldn't rule out Koki.

02:58:23.900 --> 02:58:25.861
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't rule out Izuki.

02:58:26.021 --> 02:58:32.305
[SPEAKER_00]: There, I think those three are kind of all fighting for that and kind of that elevation role, which one do you want to elevate?

02:58:32.345 --> 02:58:37.489
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think there's a wrong choice, especially if Koki finds a stride mid tournament, right?

02:58:38.570 --> 02:58:40.233
[SPEAKER_00]: She's closing out with my you and Tommy.

02:58:40.273 --> 02:58:43.019
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a very interesting debate and you know, we just do keys.

02:58:43.740 --> 02:58:45.944
[SPEAKER_00]: We hyped her up as much as we did for a reason.

02:58:46.505 --> 02:58:48.509
[SPEAKER_00]: So those were all three great options.

02:58:48.710 --> 02:58:49.331
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're all

02:58:50.438 --> 02:58:58.922
[SPEAKER_00]: probably the options because like we decide you're protecting her and my you at the end of the day, you're not putting her and make you out there for free.

02:58:58.962 --> 02:58:59.843
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a world title.

02:58:59.943 --> 02:59:00.263
[SPEAKER_00]: Awesome.

02:59:00.283 --> 02:59:00.583
[SPEAKER_00]: We're done.

02:59:00.663 --> 02:59:03.905
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to complain if he puts it there because no, no.

02:59:04.045 --> 02:59:18.392
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's like you could easily book to a bigger match in the future, but like we know Rossi likes to keep the big first on matches in his pocket and you know, protects the the main events of the the finals are do tend to be kind of

02:59:19.255 --> 02:59:22.680
[SPEAKER_01]: matches you don't expect to be the big ones.

02:59:22.800 --> 02:59:28.567
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think sure you've ever made it, probably is the biggest and Tam vs Julia are the biggest ones.

02:59:28.628 --> 02:59:30.670
[SPEAKER_01]: But as you said, Tam joy was a rematch.

02:59:30.710 --> 02:59:34.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Like first time matches don't tend to be big in the finals.

02:59:36.348 --> 02:59:42.279
[SPEAKER_00]: that will be interesting but that's the excitement and that is our preview three hours later.

02:59:42.299 --> 02:59:49.191
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you everyone for listening before we get out of here Trent and he plugs before I run away.

02:59:51.387 --> 03:00:02.877
[SPEAKER_01]: Just as you're going through the tournament, obviously, you probably don't want to listen to all three hours of this podcast when you're trying to get ready and remind yourself, which wrestlers this, what are they about and all that?

03:00:03.918 --> 03:00:14.468
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep the fitness out of the physical, but keep the written copy of my, our Dream Star Grand Prix guide, which is available on reservoir.com available, you know, keep an handy bookmarker or whatever so you can

03:00:15.578 --> 03:00:16.038
[SPEAKER_01]: check it out.

03:00:16.699 --> 03:00:18.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Or, you know, just download the pictures.

03:00:18.520 --> 03:00:31.007
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, I'd rather you check out the website so we get the view counts each time, but download the pictures because I have the names and Japanese and English on the photos and their records and stuff makes it easy to just remind yourself who's so when all of that.

03:00:31.648 --> 03:00:40.873
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think it's always, I wanted to design it so that it's as if you had like the physical guides that you would get from the shows if you were there in person.

03:00:41.293 --> 03:00:43.655
[SPEAKER_01]: Just to make it as easy as possible if you're a new fan,

03:00:44.455 --> 03:00:46.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you understand who these wrestlers are?

03:00:46.296 --> 03:00:50.257
[SPEAKER_01]: Because as I got into Joshi, that's what I needed.

03:00:50.377 --> 03:00:54.799
[SPEAKER_01]: And I noticed tournament season along new fans trying to get into these promotions.

03:00:55.099 --> 03:01:00.361
[SPEAKER_01]: And the most daunting thing is, sixteen wrestlers, I know two of them, who the hell is everyone else?

03:01:00.461 --> 03:01:02.702
[SPEAKER_01]: You can listen to this podcast or this video.

03:01:03.062 --> 03:01:09.025
[SPEAKER_01]: But I guarantee in a month's time, you're probably going to forget what cheeky go-to looks like or what Chiaki looks like.

03:01:09.385 --> 03:01:12.326
[SPEAKER_01]: Or which promotion was Chen Yoda part of the game?

03:01:13.422 --> 03:01:14.102
[SPEAKER_01]: Read the guide.

03:01:14.583 --> 03:01:20.006
[SPEAKER_01]: All listened to the three-hour podcast again, whichever suit you best.

03:01:20.046 --> 03:01:21.367
[SPEAKER_00]: There we are, podcast.

03:01:21.407 --> 03:01:22.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, man, it's a release.

03:01:22.427 --> 03:01:23.308
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a bonus.

03:01:23.328 --> 03:01:29.612
[SPEAKER_00]: This is probably going to go away earlier than the five star this time around because three hours is a lot.

03:01:30.112 --> 03:01:32.854
[SPEAKER_00]: But hey, I knew I know what happens when I bring Trent on.

03:01:33.334 --> 03:01:37.576
[SPEAKER_00]: Trent hasn't talked about modern wrestling in almost a year, folks.

03:01:38.137 --> 03:01:38.837
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot.

03:01:38.877 --> 03:01:39.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

03:01:39.498 --> 03:01:40.178
[SPEAKER_00]: We did the math.

03:01:42.019 --> 03:01:42.399
[SPEAKER_00]: We did.

03:01:43.180 --> 03:01:47.164
[SPEAKER_00]: But before I go, this was not my first recording of the week.

03:01:47.264 --> 03:01:49.746
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the one of many and many and many.

03:01:50.347 --> 03:01:54.531
[SPEAKER_00]: So this past Sunday, the five star Grand Prix kicked off.

03:01:54.551 --> 03:01:59.115
[SPEAKER_00]: You could check out the daily review for the opening night there.

03:01:59.135 --> 03:02:00.876
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be back on Wednesday.

03:02:01.597 --> 03:02:05.581
[SPEAKER_00]: back on Friday with more of those for that tournament.

03:02:05.662 --> 03:02:10.967
[SPEAKER_00]: And then this weekend on Saturday, we kick off the dream star edition of that.

03:02:11.047 --> 03:02:14.831
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want to hear me review every match, because I'm crazy.

03:02:16.042 --> 03:02:17.362
[SPEAKER_00]: right here on the YouTube channel.

03:02:17.402 --> 03:02:21.864
[SPEAKER_00]: Those two day dream star shows are going to be truly amazing.

03:02:22.524 --> 03:02:24.645
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be truly amazing.

03:02:24.665 --> 03:02:28.026
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to bring me on so we do some three out podcast reviews of those shows.

03:02:28.546 --> 03:02:29.446
[SPEAKER_00]: Not even a little.

03:02:29.466 --> 03:02:30.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for offering.

03:02:30.747 --> 03:02:32.507
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, thank you everyone for listening.

03:02:32.607 --> 03:02:33.868
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be I'll be back.

03:02:34.608 --> 03:02:37.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Many times this week, check out Trends Guide.

03:02:37.552 --> 03:02:46.124
[SPEAKER_00]: If you need any help along the way in the dream star, everyone enjoy the tournament, which kicks off on Saturday.

03:02:46.625 --> 03:02:48.307
[SPEAKER_00]: So long, see you later.

03:02:48.327 --> 03:02:48.387
[SPEAKER_00]: Bye.

03:02:49.388 --> 03:02:50.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Bye.
