[SPEAKER_00]: We have all of those up right now.

01:01.521 --> 01:05.265
[SPEAKER_00]: First two days of the tournament done over on the feed.

01:05.645 --> 01:06.706
[SPEAKER_00]: Go check it out.

01:07.267 --> 01:11.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, we have day one up, which was made invented by not two points.

01:11.408 --> 01:12.309
[SPEAKER_00]: Sayaka Karara.

01:12.549 --> 01:14.750
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, these are match by match break downs.

01:15.150 --> 01:20.232
[SPEAKER_00]: At the end of each, you have the top matches that you should go out of your way to see as well.

01:21.712 --> 01:30.035
[SPEAKER_00]: MVP talk, standing stock, everything you need to follow this tournament is being covered on these videos.

01:31.688 --> 01:34.950
[SPEAKER_00]: The same will be said for the Dream Star Grand Prix as well.

01:35.330 --> 01:40.593
[SPEAKER_00]: But like I said, day one and day two, which was made of empty by not support and not to go tore up.

01:40.673 --> 01:53.740
[SPEAKER_00]: Both up now will have another one up the same day that this very podcast comes out as the five star Grand Prix heads to day three on Friday before having two more days over the weekend.

01:53.820 --> 01:58.102
[SPEAKER_00]: So absolutely, if you haven't yet locked in for all of these, we're having

01:59.475 --> 02:18.305
[SPEAKER_00]: an incredible time doing it and now the dream star kicks off as well this weekend so that's right this upcoming weekend starting on Friday there will be six uploads alone so that's a lot that's a lot but two for the dream star three for five star and of course this podcast right here

02:18.705 --> 02:23.386
[SPEAKER_00]: So you may be wondering, what does this podcast bring to the table that maybe those reviews aren't?

02:23.706 --> 02:29.047
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to highlight my favorite matches from each show that happens on this podcast.

02:29.067 --> 02:34.429
[SPEAKER_00]: So for those who listen to the podcast, maybe don't listen to the daily breakdowns.

02:34.449 --> 02:38.230
[SPEAKER_00]: You get a little bit of five star and dream star talk right here.

02:38.490 --> 02:41.810
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're also going to be breaking down everything else in the world of joy along the way.

02:42.291 --> 02:47.752
[SPEAKER_00]: As we often do marvelous, send that girl's big time stuff coming up here the next week.

02:47.772 --> 02:47.812
[SPEAKER_00]: So

02:48.932 --> 02:54.297
[SPEAKER_00]: We have that cover here today, and we'll also be reviewing the Marigold show from schedule who faces past week.

02:55.158 --> 03:01.103
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll have a lot of words to talk about regarding my UITANI in her week, so please stay tuned for that.

03:02.267 --> 03:03.908
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, we are always ready.

03:04.088 --> 03:04.908
[SPEAKER_00]: We are always going.

03:05.048 --> 03:06.149
[SPEAKER_00]: We are always doing content.

03:06.169 --> 03:10.791
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you are listening, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for doing that, lock in.

03:11.191 --> 03:18.894
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, best time of the year to love, Joe, she wrestling, and it's best time of the year if you love some extra content along the way.

03:19.314 --> 03:21.175
[SPEAKER_00]: So with that, let's get right into it.

03:21.195 --> 03:23.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get into the world, wondering here.

03:27.127 --> 03:36.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Startup had two tournament shows since the last time we chatted, which of course, included the opening night, the sixteen match night to that.

03:37.414 --> 03:38.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Ultimately, if you

03:40.195 --> 03:45.477
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen to that review at least was a subpar night of the five star grand prix.

03:46.297 --> 04:01.702
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have become accustomed to the opening nights of these tournaments over the past year or years, I should say, you know that these can be some of if not the best nights of the tournament, albeit the fine.

04:05.777 --> 04:08.619
[SPEAKER_00]: This year I think it's struggled to be that.

04:08.739 --> 04:16.384
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's struggled to live up to that because when you have sixteen matches you are rushing through so many of them.

04:16.444 --> 04:19.486
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't I'm sure you've seen it a lot on social media.

04:19.506 --> 04:22.608
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything of the quickness of these matches and

04:24.235 --> 04:26.278
[SPEAKER_00]: How ultimately you can't have that night now.

04:26.318 --> 04:36.272
[SPEAKER_00]: I know some people liked it, but there are also people that didn't like the Cinderella opening night for years for the past five years or so and like this and I think that's very confusing.

04:37.914 --> 04:39.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Ultimately, I just land in

04:40.397 --> 04:41.819
[SPEAKER_00]: should have split into two nights.

04:41.859 --> 04:46.704
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be much easier if you want to highlight the biggest and best matches on one night.

04:47.084 --> 04:48.266
[SPEAKER_00]: You can do that.

04:48.386 --> 04:49.887
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not a difficulty.

04:50.988 --> 04:54.212
[SPEAKER_00]: It just comes down to how you do scheduling and so forth.

04:54.332 --> 04:56.594
[SPEAKER_00]: But nonetheless, it's fine.

04:57.235 --> 05:00.557
[SPEAKER_00]: There is stuff to celebrate from the first week.

05:01.258 --> 05:06.521
[SPEAKER_00]: And I've picked three matches from each show to go over my favorite three matches from each show.

05:06.841 --> 05:12.525
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want a full show breakdown head over to the YouTube channel, youtube.com slash at Scotty wrestling.

05:12.545 --> 05:15.626
[SPEAKER_00]: We got day one, day two up there by the time you're listening to this day.

05:15.666 --> 05:16.747
[SPEAKER_00]: The re will be up as well.

05:17.107 --> 05:19.189
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want the full breakdown, that's the place to go.

05:19.509 --> 05:24.192
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's go to opening night and my favorite three matches is starting with site, eat a versus salary.

05:26.254 --> 05:31.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Psychida has a legitimate shot to be the MVP of the five-star Grand Prix.

05:31.536 --> 05:33.377
[SPEAKER_00]: And I say that with full confidence.

05:33.417 --> 05:41.039
[SPEAKER_00]: I say that as someone who firmly believes that she is not only one of the best wrestlers in the start of, but simply one of the best in the world.

05:41.520 --> 05:44.741
[SPEAKER_00]: And her and Saryano are a great match on opening night.

05:44.761 --> 05:47.362
[SPEAKER_00]: They were one of the opening night matches that you looked at and said, yes.

05:48.303 --> 05:49.164
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a great one.

05:49.445 --> 05:53.330
[SPEAKER_00]: That's one that's going to set the bar, set the tone and it did.

05:53.510 --> 05:57.896
[SPEAKER_00]: It elevated the show from one level to another once it happened.

05:57.976 --> 06:01.060
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like we went in from the undercard to the main card.

06:02.302 --> 06:03.123
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you watch

06:04.500 --> 06:09.724
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like MMA or something, how they have the undercar, the prelimbs, and then they got that main card.

06:09.784 --> 06:11.305
[SPEAKER_00]: This is when that started.

06:11.766 --> 06:12.886
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the main card.

06:12.926 --> 06:14.448
[SPEAKER_00]: This was what the word go.

06:14.968 --> 06:17.750
[SPEAKER_00]: And you felt that you felt the intensity, you felt the importance.

06:17.870 --> 06:20.332
[SPEAKER_00]: I eat a chopping the hell out of Seriano.

06:20.652 --> 06:27.738
[SPEAKER_00]: Seriano fighting back to even the odds and make things calm down and ultimately get to the victory.

06:28.178 --> 06:32.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Sariano during five star season is at her very best.

06:32.239 --> 06:33.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I really believe that.

06:33.700 --> 06:46.244
[SPEAKER_00]: And Saida is someone who's just always at her very top level, someone who's always trying to prove themselves and someone who I think is in fact proving themselves and doing so here in this tournament.

06:46.304 --> 06:47.964
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was very good.

06:48.505 --> 06:55.847
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the best matches thus far and one of the matches I truly recommend you go out of your way to see if you haven't already.

06:58.112 --> 07:00.634
[SPEAKER_00]: You then had Starlight Kid and Tamoka Inaba.

07:00.974 --> 07:03.356
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a match that we've had circles for months, right?

07:03.736 --> 07:07.199
[SPEAKER_00]: A match has been teased and teased by both wrestlers.

07:07.219 --> 07:08.319
[SPEAKER_00]: They've had the stare down.

07:08.360 --> 07:15.144
[SPEAKER_00]: They've had the looks at one another, but we've never gotten into the actual match up.

07:16.025 --> 07:18.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally, here on the show, we saw it.

07:19.426 --> 07:24.789
[SPEAKER_00]: We have seen through two shows, Tomoki Inaaba, be as locked in as anyone.

07:25.109 --> 07:28.930
[SPEAKER_00]: She has embodied what an MVP caliber wrestler is.

07:29.010 --> 07:35.213
[SPEAKER_00]: She has stepped up to the highest level and brought an intensity and focus that I think this tournament

07:35.653 --> 07:39.415
[SPEAKER_00]: desperately needs with the amount of undercard talent.

07:39.475 --> 07:42.677
[SPEAKER_00]: And you want to have a feel of importance.

07:42.717 --> 07:46.458
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to have a feel of this means more to me than anything.

07:46.558 --> 07:54.642
[SPEAKER_00]: And Tomokinaba brings exactly that feeling to the table in this match in her second match, which was against Asumi.

07:55.063 --> 07:57.544
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was all about dissecting each other's legs.

07:57.864 --> 08:03.627
[SPEAKER_00]: And ultimately it was Tomokinaba that won out and got the shocking win by making Starlight Kid Tap.

08:04.287 --> 08:10.794
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a match that you set up a one-year starting championship through a one-year starting championship match through, right?

08:10.814 --> 08:20.465
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a necessary loss for start like getting necessary win for Tomokinaba and they're going to have an even better match on the other side of this tournament.

08:22.878 --> 08:30.680
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, my third and most favorite match so far of the Five Star Grand Prix is none other than Sari versus Konami.

08:30.740 --> 08:36.902
[SPEAKER_00]: Sari from the very beginning of the night told you the story she is here to tell.

08:37.222 --> 08:40.103
[SPEAKER_00]: This is she knows she is an enemy territory.

08:40.183 --> 08:44.205
[SPEAKER_00]: She knows the crowds don't like her and she is here to complete one goal.

08:44.525 --> 08:46.065
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is to win this tournament.

08:46.125 --> 08:51.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Take this tournament from the wrestlers and make everyone else pick up there.

08:52.295 --> 08:52.655
[SPEAKER_00]: pace.

08:53.216 --> 08:57.978
[SPEAKER_00]: She is here to make everyone better around her, whether they want to get better or not.

08:58.499 --> 09:06.723
[SPEAKER_00]: And this match, again, follows in the match we talked about last week at Cork and when she felt like the biggest heel.

09:07.064 --> 09:16.729
[SPEAKER_00]: She is the number one antagonist and she embodies it now in every single match she has, including in someone like Konami, who is a heel to the core.

09:16.789 --> 09:17.990
[SPEAKER_00]: That is what hate is.

09:18.410 --> 09:21.472
[SPEAKER_00]: You're seeing in real time hate to try to figure out

09:23.072 --> 09:25.173
[SPEAKER_00]: How are we not the biggest yields now?

09:25.933 --> 09:34.456
[SPEAKER_00]: It's because Sari has elevated her level in stardom to a level of pure dislike from the stardom fans.

09:34.736 --> 09:50.662
[SPEAKER_00]: But what stardom fans are seeing in real time is Sari elevate everyone around her, including Konami who I think had the best performance she's had in this very match since she's returned full time last year.

09:52.029 --> 09:56.191
[SPEAKER_00]: This was Konami, maybe the best version of Konami you could ask for.

09:56.231 --> 09:57.471
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was physical.

09:57.711 --> 09:58.992
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was personal.

09:59.252 --> 10:00.592
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a hatred here.

10:00.892 --> 10:11.977
[SPEAKER_00]: There is so much here that you can really lock into and the shock win for Konami, when she, not even taps out, when she puts Sari to sleep.

10:12.277 --> 10:18.819
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a reason Sari builds up her matches the way she does so that moments like these can happen.

10:19.159 --> 10:20.700
[SPEAKER_00]: There will be few moments

10:21.280 --> 10:29.684
[SPEAKER_00]: from this point forward to the end of the five-star Grand Prix that are fondly remembered as what this match created and what this finished created.

10:30.344 --> 10:35.127
[SPEAKER_00]: I always sing the praises of the sun God, I will always, always continue.

10:35.527 --> 10:42.470
[SPEAKER_00]: She's singing the praises of the sun God because few get it better than her, few bring it better than her from match to match.

10:42.730 --> 10:46.392
[SPEAKER_00]: But Konami stepped up to that challenge and she deserves all the credit.

10:46.412 --> 10:48.493
[SPEAKER_00]: She deserves all the respect and I hope

10:49.173 --> 10:55.034
[SPEAKER_00]: if and when that I WGP will install a match happens, she gets to do that all over again.

10:55.475 --> 10:59.255
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited to see now, sorry, bring it further.

10:59.615 --> 11:01.916
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that she is going to be on a war path, right?

11:01.956 --> 11:03.156
[SPEAKER_00]: She lost her first match.

11:03.176 --> 11:11.438
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she has to turn things around and I think that's the, the row we are on here and a row that I'm very, very excited for.

11:11.798 --> 11:18.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, this is my favorite match of the tournament so far and the one match I would truly call great thus far.

11:22.462 --> 11:26.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you move to day two, this was a red stars only a fair.

11:26.187 --> 11:28.330
[SPEAKER_00]: So we haven't had a day of just blue stars yet.

11:28.410 --> 11:38.003
[SPEAKER_00]: So we can't pick and choose what's the better, but I do think blue stars on a day to day basis, one of just a blue star show will have maybe the better shows.

11:38.684 --> 11:41.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, that being said, you put red stars in there.

11:41.446 --> 11:42.226
[SPEAKER_00]: You have asthma.

11:42.446 --> 11:43.727
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to mokinaba.

11:43.807 --> 11:48.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, just moments ago with to mokinaba, she brings in intensity.

11:48.790 --> 11:54.313
[SPEAKER_00]: She brings a care to her matches that are setting herself apart from everyone else.

11:54.653 --> 12:00.576
[SPEAKER_00]: She is averaging the most time thus far in the tournament at thirteen minutes and twenty three seconds per match.

12:00.876 --> 12:09.526
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that's going to go down because her first two big matches, Oregon's Asami and Starlight Kid, two wrestlers who'd argue are the top of the block.

12:10.187 --> 12:15.853
[SPEAKER_00]: So her times going to go down, but this fight was just as much of a fight as any.

12:16.113 --> 12:19.197
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this match would reach the pillar of must see for me or

12:20.698 --> 12:23.260
[SPEAKER_00]: the rank of go out of your way to watch for me.

12:23.681 --> 12:29.426
[SPEAKER_00]: If it wasn't for the slight mess up in the finishing stretch, but that's okay wrestling happens.

12:29.766 --> 12:30.727
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still very good.

12:30.987 --> 12:39.194
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still worth your time, I think, because you're watching Tomokinaba kind of take advantage of the opportunity at hand.

12:39.655 --> 12:42.978
[SPEAKER_00]: Asimu was great as she often is, she's had a very good week.

12:43.398 --> 12:47.722
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, her match on Saturday, it's not like a tour or Sunday, it's not a tour, forgettable.

12:48.042 --> 12:56.450
[SPEAKER_00]: This one, however, back on the right track, back to climbing that mountain and back to being a potential MVP cannon in her own right.

12:56.970 --> 12:59.152
[SPEAKER_00]: So I enjoyed this match.

13:01.054 --> 13:01.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Worked your time.

13:02.155 --> 13:05.098
[SPEAKER_00]: As if he gets the win with the double foot stop and the museum is sushi.

13:07.455 --> 13:18.116
[SPEAKER_00]: You then have the Cinderella Termant Final Rematch, a match that I believe is very important because

13:19.966 --> 13:25.148
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're seeing in real time, so I have to cry out, take a real stumble down the car, right?

13:25.708 --> 13:34.232
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, she won the Cinderella tournament, challenged for the world of star and championship, but hasn't been presented in that light since now.

13:34.292 --> 13:41.855
[SPEAKER_00]: I know she may have invented the first night, but now she's out until she just lost the future star and championship, matching his heena.

13:42.175 --> 13:46.477
[SPEAKER_00]: We are seeing her or star to maybe take just a step back, let her be

13:47.397 --> 13:54.642
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, as youthful and young as she truly is, you don't have to push her to the moon just yet.

13:55.142 --> 14:05.289
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think on the other hand, with someone like Rina, who had returned on the previous show after the dealing with the percussion, she has looked as good as before.

14:05.770 --> 14:07.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Rina continues to set the bar

14:08.887 --> 14:12.510
[SPEAKER_00]: in terms of the young talent in Star.

14:13.050 --> 14:17.854
[SPEAKER_00]: She is someone who is so great and makes her opponents better.

14:18.194 --> 14:20.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Her and Karara have excellent chemistry.

14:20.676 --> 14:26.981
[SPEAKER_00]: When Karara is back to that world of Stardom, Wonder Star, and whatever role they want her to be in,

14:28.178 --> 14:33.380
[SPEAKER_00]: If she's sharing the ringer's rena, they're going to put together something really, really cool.

14:33.700 --> 14:34.901
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what I thought they did here.

14:34.961 --> 14:39.162
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think the final of the Cinderella Tournament is a better match.

14:39.342 --> 14:47.786
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this one collectively grows off of that chemistry, grows off of that ability to say, well, Karara's beaten arena before.

14:48.186 --> 14:49.987
[SPEAKER_00]: Why couldn't she do it after this time?

14:50.007 --> 14:53.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Arena ultimately catches Karara with the glory bomb to get the win.

14:54.088 --> 14:56.671
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think Rina's had a very strong start to the tournament.

14:56.731 --> 14:58.553
[SPEAKER_00]: She hasn't faced the big three yet.

14:58.893 --> 15:01.435
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's very exciting for her MVP odds.

15:01.576 --> 15:04.318
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, I think she should be making the playoffs.

15:04.338 --> 15:05.620
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I said in my predictions.

15:05.960 --> 15:09.784
[SPEAKER_00]: So I hope that ends up being the case moving forward.

15:11.205 --> 15:14.789
[SPEAKER_00]: And my third recommendation from night one was indeed the main event.

15:14.949 --> 15:16.370
[SPEAKER_00]: Not to pull it, not to go toora.

15:16.710 --> 15:17.811
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually rewatched this.

15:20.062 --> 15:28.028
[SPEAKER_00]: I ended up giving this match a rewatch following my initial viewing and it's really, really strong.

15:28.208 --> 15:33.672
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a strong main event, one of the best main events so far if you want to keep track of those types of things.

15:35.293 --> 15:40.117
[SPEAKER_00]: They're continuing to embody the fact that Natsukoi is in fact going to be the ace of this promotion.

15:40.418 --> 15:42.319
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a reason she's been invented the two shows.

15:42.640 --> 15:47.524
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a reason she's now, she beats Karara, but then she loses the Torah.

15:47.624 --> 15:54.110
[SPEAKER_00]: Torah kind of going through this undefeated possibility once again, something she did two years ago, right?

15:54.130 --> 15:57.413
[SPEAKER_00]: She created a lot of doubting people's minds that she was going to the final.

15:58.655 --> 16:01.757
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's an interesting aspect in all of this.

16:02.797 --> 16:10.602
[SPEAKER_00]: Boy has put together a really, really understandable and believable case that she is the one.

16:11.062 --> 16:17.326
[SPEAKER_00]: She is going to be the one to beat Syah Kamatani here sooner rather than later, just not.

16:17.606 --> 16:17.826
[SPEAKER_00]: yet.

16:18.206 --> 16:20.607
[SPEAKER_00]: But this was a fun, entertaining main event.

16:20.927 --> 16:28.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Day two, I think was a step up and overall quality, but not a step up in terms of top tier matches.

16:28.770 --> 16:30.070
[SPEAKER_00]: If that makes sense from night one.

16:30.891 --> 16:32.691
[SPEAKER_00]: But night three is looking good.

16:32.751 --> 16:37.293
[SPEAKER_00]: So now that we've gotten through the matches that I really enjoyed from

16:38.717 --> 16:39.597
[SPEAKER_00]: the first two nights.

16:40.158 --> 16:45.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I said, each time we get on here on the five star, we're going to highlight my favorite three matches from each show.

16:45.580 --> 16:48.501
[SPEAKER_00]: If you didn't check out those daily reviews, I got you covered.

16:49.521 --> 16:52.402
[SPEAKER_00]: But the next day is on Friday.

16:52.462 --> 16:55.083
[SPEAKER_00]: The five star Grand Prix is all blue stars.

16:55.523 --> 16:59.465
[SPEAKER_00]: As Bozilla faces Yuri Hime, Susan Zuki faces Momoko Goop.

17:00.700 --> 17:02.381
[SPEAKER_00]: I soccer goes one-on-one with Roca.

17:02.601 --> 17:03.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry returns to action.

17:03.962 --> 17:08.924
[SPEAKER_00]: She refaces with off of the round of Yagumi and a rematch from their cork and match a month ago.

17:09.245 --> 17:11.226
[SPEAKER_00]: Serriano goes one-on-one with me on a sake.

17:11.266 --> 17:12.006
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for that one.

17:12.026 --> 17:13.026
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good match last year.

17:13.667 --> 17:20.290
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all haked as Mawa Tanabe goes one-on-one with Konami and your main event will be site-eat versus army survey.

17:20.410 --> 17:21.471
[SPEAKER_00]: A match I'm looking forward to.

17:21.851 --> 17:26.894
[SPEAKER_00]: Quite frankly, I think this top four is much stronger than the red stars top four.

17:27.034 --> 17:29.035
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think overall there's a good

17:29.515 --> 17:32.296
[SPEAKER_00]: amount of matchups here and the undercards pretty solid too.

17:32.336 --> 17:37.978
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think blue stars is a real chance to be the better side this year based on this card.

17:38.258 --> 17:39.299
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's continue on.

17:40.019 --> 17:41.099
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for this show.

17:41.199 --> 17:44.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, this review will be up on Friday sometime Friday afternoon.

17:44.881 --> 17:48.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure I'll have that up to this whole this podcast will drop in the morning.

17:48.762 --> 17:50.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Then that will be out later in the day.

17:51.423 --> 17:53.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we have the two weekend shows.

17:54.044 --> 17:56.685
[SPEAKER_00]: So on Saturday, Saturday looks like great shows.

17:56.725 --> 17:58.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they had to the sun die pit.

17:58.266 --> 18:00.446
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll finally get the May Sarah versus Han on match.

18:00.526 --> 18:04.608
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have been dying for a match that I've been waiting two years for.

18:04.968 --> 18:05.988
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very excited about that.

18:06.008 --> 18:09.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that was when we first started like it, obviously a massive massive match.

18:10.070 --> 18:11.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Not super diverse, smoky naba.

18:11.831 --> 18:13.071
[SPEAKER_00]: That's super exciting as well.

18:13.111 --> 18:19.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Those three matches are as strong as any top three matches we have seen on any card, any night thus far.

18:19.533 --> 18:19.954
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on

18:21.194 --> 18:22.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Day five of the tournament.

18:23.055 --> 18:31.259
[SPEAKER_00]: They head to the hometown of Hina, Hanan and Rina, as well as Yuri Hime, that show will be split into two.

18:31.579 --> 18:35.321
[SPEAKER_00]: So there will be a day show with Blue Star's block featuring, obviously, Ray versus Seria.

18:35.381 --> 18:37.562
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to not be versus Zuki.

18:37.742 --> 18:38.803
[SPEAKER_00]: So I reverse his Hina.

18:39.243 --> 18:40.484
[SPEAKER_00]: All those will be a lot of fun.

18:40.804 --> 18:48.688
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the night show, you will have the likes of Star like Kiv versus Sayaka Krah, Nazi-Poy versus Azumi, Rina versus Tamokinaba,

18:49.148 --> 18:58.442
[SPEAKER_00]: and then your main matches in the A block being cyoverst to walk up, on reverse B, pre-slee, and May Sara versus you to miss more.

18:58.622 --> 18:58.743
[SPEAKER_00]: So,

19:00.095 --> 19:02.716
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are your upcoming cards for this weekend.

19:02.796 --> 19:05.457
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of great matches, a lot of fun matches.

19:05.757 --> 19:13.420
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I said, on the last stream because I think people kind of want to expect greatness and want that top of the line greatness right from the rip.

19:13.620 --> 19:15.681
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this tournament's going to be one that builds.

19:16.281 --> 19:21.163
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes, the first night was what it was, the second night was a step in the right direction.

19:21.203 --> 19:23.544
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for overall card and timing and so on.

19:24.739 --> 19:26.620
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this weekend has a real chance to be great.

19:27.161 --> 19:29.842
[SPEAKER_00]: By startup, I think they'll figure that out.

19:29.962 --> 19:38.227
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they had to cork and haul for the only cork and haul show outside of the playoff bracket to play in on the twentieth.

19:38.707 --> 19:42.930
[SPEAKER_00]: So this show features Siyah Komitani versus Hanan, obviously a massive massive match.

19:43.210 --> 19:45.912
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, this is August six, so this upcoming Wednesday.

19:47.325 --> 19:49.226
[SPEAKER_00]: out of the me versus arena a match.

19:49.686 --> 19:55.948
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very much looking forward to Sariano versus Bozilla and not the one that I think is very exciting as well.

19:56.628 --> 19:59.689
[SPEAKER_00]: Just a knob of versus you to Miss Amori may say it was to be at Priestley.

19:59.769 --> 20:06.171
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Saraver, Sriwaka, Ronnie Agabee versus Moam Watanabe, Heena versus Konami and Susuzuki versus Anako.

20:06.371 --> 20:11.413
[SPEAKER_00]: So, a shorter card in terms of overall matches.

20:11.493 --> 20:15.034
[SPEAKER_00]: They are not doing a full

20:17.723 --> 20:25.285
[SPEAKER_00]: a full slate of one side, but ten tournament matches is still a lot, and cork and haul should be rocking for that.

20:25.625 --> 20:28.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Sidecom of Tony versus Hannah is one of the top matches of the tournament.

20:29.046 --> 20:38.808
[SPEAKER_00]: So like I said, this week is full of top matches from this tournament should be a lot of fun, but that's it this week from the world one during a startup.

20:38.968 --> 20:44.289
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, if you're interested, go and check out the daily reviews.

20:44.489 --> 20:47.410
[SPEAKER_00]: Each and every day of the five star show, I will have a daily review

20:48.190 --> 20:50.812
[SPEAKER_00]: Match by match reviews, and so much more.

20:51.252 --> 20:57.457
[SPEAKER_00]: So go check that out, e to dot com slash at Scott E wrestling, if you're interested in all of that.

20:59.038 --> 21:07.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we move on to upcoming shows this week from the Indies, and this one is exciting.

21:07.363 --> 21:08.104
[SPEAKER_00]: So send that girls.

21:08.704 --> 21:11.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, heads back to the Sendai Pit this Sunday.

21:12.267 --> 21:14.328
[SPEAKER_00]: And boy, oh boy, have they given us a treat.

21:14.388 --> 21:16.690
[SPEAKER_00]: So the undercarb will feature a Kierker Ghana.

21:17.210 --> 21:19.531
[SPEAKER_00]: Going one on one with you now obviously that's important.

21:19.631 --> 21:37.835
[SPEAKER_00]: I a soccer hat hold you know that if you don't want to challenge for the junior belt again, she got to take down some of the start of wrestlers and a Kira Kira Ghani who obviously missed out on the five star Grand Prix will step up to you now in one on one action.

21:38.235 --> 21:39.335
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll then have three-way action.

21:39.375 --> 21:43.076
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Sector Hoda takes on you and Cheechi in three-way action.

21:43.396 --> 21:46.717
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll have, you know, you say, I'm going one on one with Yureka Oka.

21:47.877 --> 21:56.460
[SPEAKER_00]: in the third match to the top dash of Soko and Haroya Matsumato, the rate of ultimate powers they'll take on zones in your Suzuki.

21:57.640 --> 22:03.762
[SPEAKER_00]: And before we get to the semi-man event, let's say with the main event, I'll be real Mizunami and Minami versus Red Energy, that should be really good.

22:04.502 --> 22:07.263
[SPEAKER_00]: But boy, oh boy, are we in for a treat?

22:08.451 --> 22:12.433
[SPEAKER_00]: with the semi-main event, but the match that I know many people will be looking forward to.

22:12.473 --> 22:16.515
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the most anticipated match of the entire weekend in Yoshi for shop.

22:17.196 --> 22:23.079
[SPEAKER_00]: That is Hazuki, going one-on-one with Sendai Girl's World Champion Cherry Hero Hashimoto.

22:23.860 --> 22:27.702
[SPEAKER_00]: What this match tells me is that if because it's not in the main event,

22:28.515 --> 22:32.237
[SPEAKER_00]: We're getting a fifteen minute draw and I think this should lead to a title match.

22:32.337 --> 22:33.798
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know when I don't know where.

22:34.158 --> 22:35.979
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what send that girl's schedule is.

22:36.039 --> 22:40.342
[SPEAKER_00]: I know for send Joe the best or the biggest or whatever it's called.

22:42.263 --> 22:52.468
[SPEAKER_00]: These two are in different matches, but whenever they return to cork and haul or whatever it may be, they need to run this as a championship match.

22:52.989 --> 22:56.831
[SPEAKER_00]: Hazuki missing the five star grand prix is criminal enough, but

22:58.127 --> 23:04.213
[SPEAKER_00]: We are treated to something very, very special here in this first ever one on one singles.

23:04.854 --> 23:08.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Main event style match should be fantastic.

23:08.458 --> 23:09.999
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll be up on rest of the universe.

23:10.500 --> 23:11.601
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm predicting the draw.

23:11.721 --> 23:16.446
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm hoping for a draw because I want so much more from these two moving forward.

23:18.432 --> 23:31.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we had over two marvelous marvelous kept themselves busy this week as they announced their top matches for the upcoming cork and haul show on August eighth, which is next Friday.

23:31.195 --> 23:38.117
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to preview it now because obviously by the time you hear this, it will be kind of late news next week if we prove it.

23:39.357 --> 23:49.539
[SPEAKER_00]: So the war between marvellous and margled heads to the marvellous ring once again, Miyo Momino, Riko Kawahata, Maria, Ihozan, and Sora Yama.

23:50.180 --> 24:01.522
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll all team up to represent marvellous against the margled world of champion, Utaomi, Hishita, Mikuano, Victoria Yuzuki, Kamomu Minami, and Sari Yamaoka.

24:01.922 --> 24:06.303
[SPEAKER_00]: So a superb lineup here on both sides.

24:06.663 --> 24:08.524
[SPEAKER_00]: First time we'll see Miyo Momino fight.

24:09.524 --> 24:12.506
[SPEAKER_00]: All of these wrestlers except for common manami.

24:12.566 --> 24:22.812
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first time you'll see meovers, Otami minutes, first time you'll see meovers, Miku Anomeness, first time you'll see meovers, Victoria Zuki, which I'm very excited for.

24:23.193 --> 24:25.454
[SPEAKER_00]: And first time you'll see her against three Yamiyoka.

24:25.574 --> 24:27.155
[SPEAKER_00]: which is pretty awesome as well.

24:27.635 --> 24:32.579
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that this match is gonna be just up to the hype of the previous ones.

24:33.099 --> 24:34.320
[SPEAKER_00]: This is so much down here.

24:34.400 --> 24:35.901
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much incredible talent here.

24:36.201 --> 24:46.868
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think what I saw this announced, it was a reminder of how truly great Marvel's has been this year and how this rivalry has helped not just Marvel's as well.

24:46.928 --> 24:48.429
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of inspiration.

24:48.970 --> 24:50.151
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of drive here.

24:50.751 --> 24:51.852
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of interest here.

24:53.502 --> 24:54.042
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting good.

24:54.843 --> 24:55.423
[SPEAKER_00]: It's getting good.

24:56.784 --> 24:59.486
[SPEAKER_00]: And I only need to slow them down any time soon.

24:59.906 --> 25:09.713
[SPEAKER_00]: So that is your semi main event, but your main event for the first time ever with the AAAW championships on the line.

25:10.294 --> 25:16.218
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be spark rush putting their belts online against team to hundred kilograms.

25:16.318 --> 25:17.459
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think.

25:20.202 --> 25:24.845
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a bigger tag match you could schedule right now than this one.

25:26.206 --> 25:33.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Spark Rush obviously, taking the scene by Stormy of the IWGP Williams Champion, the GHC, WMS Champion on one side.

25:33.531 --> 25:35.372
[SPEAKER_00]: You also now tag champs.

25:38.355 --> 25:42.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Takumi's also AAAW Champion and on the other side's team, two hundred kilograms.

25:42.617 --> 25:43.158
[SPEAKER_00]: They have been

25:44.943 --> 25:50.588
[SPEAKER_00]: the embodiment of Joshi Tag Team Wrestling for the past number of years.

25:50.988 --> 25:57.274
[SPEAKER_00]: And with you retiring at the end of the year, I was hopeful that this match would come to fruition.

25:58.315 --> 25:59.516
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a war.

25:59.596 --> 26:00.817
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a brawl.

26:01.178 --> 26:02.539
[SPEAKER_00]: Hashimoto, sorry.

26:02.599 --> 26:06.763
[SPEAKER_00]: They have been the rivalry arguably of the past two years.

26:07.643 --> 26:09.885
[SPEAKER_00]: And you add to Kumi and you add you in.

26:10.366 --> 26:17.752
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this match has a chance to not only be one of the best tag team matches of the year, but one of the very best of the year.

26:18.092 --> 26:19.873
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a show you're not going to want to miss.

26:20.094 --> 26:21.735
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a show that I'm very excited for.

26:21.795 --> 26:23.817
[SPEAKER_00]: I expect Spark Rush to keep the belts.

26:24.737 --> 26:28.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see teenagers with kilograms of winning this match, but maybe they go to a draw.

26:28.438 --> 26:40.062
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's always a possibility, but it doesn't really matter because I think this match is going to be truly tremendous and this show between the main event and the semi-main event is as must see as can be.

26:42.673 --> 26:45.195
[SPEAKER_00]: So now we are already on to the Margo section.

26:45.235 --> 26:46.697
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll just say this now.

26:46.737 --> 27:01.150
[SPEAKER_00]: You can expect the five star Yoshi show on a weekly basis to be a little bit shorter from time to time unless there's some major shows from other companies because I'm covering the term on day to day basis right every time every day there's a tournament show.

27:01.671 --> 27:02.471
[SPEAKER_00]: I am covering it.

27:02.652 --> 27:07.256
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want more for me, there's plenty of content on the YouTube channel.

27:07.576 --> 27:09.477
[SPEAKER_00]: but these shows will be a bit shorter.

27:09.837 --> 27:15.619
[SPEAKER_00]: And since I'm here, if you are here for the Margo portion, you haven't heard it yet, ahead of Saturday.

27:16.139 --> 27:24.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Check out the DreamStar Grand Prix, twenty twenty five preview with me and Trent Trieste Trent, who has been on the show many, many a time.

27:25.883 --> 27:29.984
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about this tournament for three hours.

27:30.064 --> 27:36.627
[SPEAKER_00]: We broke down every competitor, every match, every possibility, all these different things.

27:37.307 --> 27:54.391
[SPEAKER_00]: so that you, the viewer, you, the fan can really dive into this tournament, especially if you're coming in for the first time, you know, maybe you have just started watching because of my you or whatever it may be, you are in for a treat via this tournament.

27:54.431 --> 27:56.011
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a blast to preview.

27:56.551 --> 28:00.672
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely go check that out if you haven't all ready.

28:01.272 --> 28:03.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's get to some news from Marigold.

28:04.034 --> 28:21.223
[SPEAKER_00]: It was announced on July, thirty first, effective immediately, that Riyoko Sakamura who took a leave from wrestling for mental health reasons, which was cited back in June, believe her last match was June, seventeen.

28:21.604 --> 28:27.147
[SPEAKER_00]: She has officially left Marigold and she will move forward

28:28.027 --> 28:33.471
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe as a freelancer, I'm not too sure yet, but it sounds like she's moving on for the promotion.

28:34.151 --> 28:38.173
[SPEAKER_00]: After her agency reshout to Margo with her quest, Margo granted the release.

28:38.754 --> 28:42.056
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I'm wishing Rielko Sakamoran nothing but the best.

28:42.616 --> 28:45.918
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, we've talked about her a number of times on this podcast.

28:46.258 --> 28:52.762
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, her debut was a shining success against Nanai Takahashi, and she showed a lot of potential there.

28:53.503 --> 28:56.765
[SPEAKER_00]: But especially over the past, a number of months she has felt

28:57.225 --> 29:01.266
[SPEAKER_00]: a little bit lost in the rings, you know, maybe not herself.

29:01.306 --> 29:03.126
[SPEAKER_00]: She's talked about it a little bit as well.

29:03.546 --> 29:20.810
[SPEAKER_00]: So I hope for her that whatever she does, wherever she goes, she's fine, success, and hopefully that comes in whatever form it may be, but good best of luck to Ryoko Sakamura, who is now a freelancer on the scene.

29:23.691 --> 29:24.431
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have some

29:25.540 --> 29:31.102
[SPEAKER_00]: Really sad news, a Sankha Katsky had to pull out of the tournament.

29:31.302 --> 29:36.263
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to do this in the Marvelous section, but I thought it was more fitting to place here.

29:36.343 --> 29:45.606
[SPEAKER_00]: So Sankha Katsky, one of the most anticipated wrestlers in the entire dream, star Grand Prix, she had to pull out of the tournament completely.

29:46.567 --> 29:51.532
[SPEAKER_00]: And she will also be missing the upcoming Marvelous Corrican Hall show as you saw there.

29:51.853 --> 29:56.198
[SPEAKER_00]: She was originally set for that tag team match against Marigold.

29:56.378 --> 29:58.220
[SPEAKER_00]: But unfortunately,

30:00.107 --> 30:05.654
[SPEAKER_00]: to pneumonia and the worsening of her health.

30:05.754 --> 30:13.524
[SPEAKER_00]: Because of pneumonia, she has to take a, I believe they said she has to stay in care for about a week.

30:16.828 --> 30:19.630
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, she's out of the tournament.

30:19.830 --> 30:27.397
[SPEAKER_00]: And ultimately, I think the only thing anyone should have thought when that was announced was we are hoping the very best for Sanka Katsuki.

30:27.417 --> 30:31.521
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this is one of the bright young stars in all of professional wrestling.

30:32.902 --> 30:38.904
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, arguably the rookie of the year, and someone who is just such an incredible talent.

30:39.024 --> 30:43.966
[SPEAKER_00]: And my, and my look of it is we look forward to when Sankha can return to the ring.

30:44.467 --> 30:49.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, we will look forward to when Sankha can compete against all these different wrestlers, right?

30:49.689 --> 30:50.829
[SPEAKER_00]: She was opening her tournament.

30:50.849 --> 30:56.932
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my Utahni, the one of the most hype matches of the entire tournament was her versus Sury, I'm the ilk of one on one.

30:57.432 --> 31:00.253
[SPEAKER_00]: I think all of these will still happen somewhere down the road.

31:01.135 --> 31:05.047
[SPEAKER_00]: just won't happen unfortunately in the dream star this year.

31:07.573 --> 31:26.384
[SPEAKER_00]: With that comes opportunity, and Marigold announced at their press conference, which we'll talk about here in a little bit, they announced that their press conference, then none other than one half of the twin star champions Maria will step in and take her spot.

31:26.904 --> 31:33.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Maria under the heel gimmick since Magenta has turned heel has been simply incredible.

31:33.928 --> 31:43.054
[SPEAKER_00]: She has been someone who has figured out who I think she truly is as a professional wrestler and that has enhanced her game massively.

31:43.374 --> 31:52.759
[SPEAKER_00]: I know a lot of people once upon a time would have probably preferred Rico Kawahada to be in the spot, but ever since they turned heel, I think Maria has been doing some of the best work of her career.

31:52.779 --> 31:57.622
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she can be a great thorn inside of all of these marigo competitors that she'll take on.

31:58.743 --> 32:00.244
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm really excited to see what she does.

32:00.504 --> 32:07.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I'm bummed that Sanca will be out, but I really do believe in Maria, I believe in Maria's talent for a very, very long time.

32:07.930 --> 32:11.372
[SPEAKER_00]: So now she has a real chance to show it in seven matches.

32:11.533 --> 32:17.837
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, that starts on Saturday, I guess, none other than the icon, Mayu, Iwatani.

32:18.258 --> 32:20.599
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk a little bit more about the dream star here in a second.

32:21.140 --> 32:27.925
[SPEAKER_00]: But before that, let's talk about the show from this past week at Shinjuku face as

32:29.612 --> 32:45.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Marigold held themselves their final show, and of the tournament at Shinjuku face, and this show was obviously mostly about the top of the car, but we'll go through some results here before breaking down the final few matches.

32:46.241 --> 32:53.765
[SPEAKER_00]: First up, you had Komoma Monami, pinned the Gisa Tachibana, beating her, and hummingbird, to get a win in a three-way match.

32:53.785 --> 32:57.687
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was a fun little opener for what it was.

32:59.337 --> 33:06.923
[SPEAKER_00]: You then had me some out doing Chiyaki continue their momentum by defeating a gigaton and megaton.

33:06.963 --> 33:12.987
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was the return of gigaton before she attacked the megaton.

33:13.027 --> 33:16.470
[SPEAKER_00]: So I have no idea what we're doing now, Chicago.

33:16.530 --> 33:18.812
[SPEAKER_00]: But I couldn't even begin to guess.

33:19.572 --> 33:20.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Couldn't begin to guess.

33:20.393 --> 33:22.834
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the first time we've seen gigaton in quite some time.

33:23.835 --> 33:24.496
[SPEAKER_00]: you then had.

33:24.516 --> 33:27.639
[SPEAKER_00]: You get Yamazaki and Mariah team up.

33:27.679 --> 33:31.122
[SPEAKER_00]: They took on Ria Setto and the Gisa Nozaki.

33:31.182 --> 33:32.683
[SPEAKER_00]: This was quite the fun match.

33:32.763 --> 33:37.547
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the combination of Mariah and Yamazaki and the Mad Dog.

33:37.648 --> 33:43.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, that is a mentor student relationship if we've ever seen one and I think Mariah really loves to team up.

33:44.213 --> 33:46.315
[SPEAKER_00]: with her young paddle on of sorts.

33:46.875 --> 34:01.566
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a good showing for Rea Setto who is still, of course, furthering, establishing herself as a heel and a important heel, I argue, but she is figuring it out and doing so alongside Nuzaki is pretty easy.

34:01.966 --> 34:06.530
[SPEAKER_00]: I also like that Nuzaki Mariah facing off in this tournament because they clearly have a lot of fun.

34:07.030 --> 34:08.351
[SPEAKER_00]: facing off with one another.

34:08.371 --> 34:09.812
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's very important.

34:09.832 --> 34:10.753
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's very funny.

34:11.393 --> 34:15.736
[SPEAKER_00]: But this was a fun tag team match if you didn't get to check it out.

34:15.916 --> 34:18.018
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was worth your time.

34:18.598 --> 34:24.282
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you also had she could go to continuing to strong sheet the GCS to get the win.

34:25.063 --> 34:27.705
[SPEAKER_00]: The go cheek at choke slam for those who don't know.

34:28.465 --> 34:30.706
[SPEAKER_00]: To pin you keep an army in single action.

34:30.746 --> 34:35.407
[SPEAKER_00]: So go check ahead into the tournament as strong as possible.

34:35.447 --> 34:40.428
[SPEAKER_00]: But now we'll kind of dive into the top two matches because I think the top two matches were really good.

34:41.008 --> 34:42.849
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we'll talk a little bit about my U.S.

34:42.889 --> 34:46.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony's week as a whole to really close the show out.

34:47.390 --> 34:57.420
[SPEAKER_00]: The dream star grand prix preliminary match on all star tag for the best for one side against for the best from the other you had the dream league side of a Tommy has just a cookie of my right to raise your cancer.

34:57.480 --> 35:00.644
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, okay, taking on the star league side of my soccer right.

35:01.444 --> 35:04.888
[SPEAKER_00]: Becauano, Chan Yoda and Kazuna Tanaka.

35:06.975 --> 35:10.857
[SPEAKER_00]: I just really like these matches that preview the tournament.

35:11.038 --> 35:16.441
[SPEAKER_00]: It gives you a look inside of how incredible these talents are and what they're bringing to this table.

35:17.121 --> 35:20.263
[SPEAKER_00]: And they really gave you the biggest tease humanly possible.

35:20.943 --> 35:24.586
[SPEAKER_00]: But we got to see my soccer and Tommy have some moments here.

35:24.626 --> 35:26.807
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a while since I feel like we've had that.

35:27.227 --> 35:29.589
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, very smart movement here.

35:29.709 --> 35:31.730
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that was the final a year ago.

35:31.890 --> 35:35.352
[SPEAKER_00]: The first ever dream star final was a Tommy versus my soccer.

35:35.692 --> 35:36.293
[SPEAKER_00]: So having them

35:37.776 --> 35:40.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Come into this match, lead their match or lead their team.

35:40.678 --> 35:44.440
[SPEAKER_00]: I should say as the two champions, very smart look.

35:44.500 --> 35:46.141
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, them going back and forth.

35:46.161 --> 35:50.784
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a clear chemistry there that I think we saw on full display at the final last year.

35:50.844 --> 35:55.087
[SPEAKER_00]: So I really did enjoy this match.

35:56.748 --> 35:58.009
[SPEAKER_00]: But the big preview you got.

35:58.049 --> 36:03.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless I think cookie, I think Victoria Zuke and I say, Rio, because you know, I think Chen Yota all had their moments.

36:05.603 --> 36:17.491
[SPEAKER_00]: But I cannot ignore what they gave us in the final two, the final stretch, which was Mikuano and Tommy Haishista.

36:17.531 --> 36:21.053
[SPEAKER_00]: This final stretch was incredible.

36:21.213 --> 36:28.518
[SPEAKER_00]: This final stretch was the embodiment of a massive massive, first-time singles match that we have not gotten to see.

36:28.978 --> 36:35.142
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the most built-up singles match yet in terms of Marigold only talent.

36:36.464 --> 36:37.965
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it is Tommy.

36:37.985 --> 36:39.346
[SPEAKER_00]: It is Miku.

36:39.366 --> 36:40.827
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a matchup.

36:40.967 --> 36:45.130
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a face-off that has everyone waiting.

36:45.510 --> 36:46.051
[SPEAKER_00]: The way they

36:47.988 --> 36:51.229
[SPEAKER_00]: instantly click when they get into the ring.

36:51.429 --> 36:56.390
[SPEAKER_00]: And they, you know, if you listen to our dreams start preview, me and Trent picked me go to win.

36:56.570 --> 36:58.271
[SPEAKER_00]: She just feels like the winner.

36:58.311 --> 36:59.611
[SPEAKER_00]: She feels ready, right?

36:59.971 --> 37:04.852
[SPEAKER_00]: That that and then I talk to Hashie match with a sign of, oh, I'm beyond ready.

37:05.393 --> 37:09.594
[SPEAKER_00]: And her new Tommy in this face off, it was one of those momentary like, yes, this is it.

37:10.454 --> 37:11.474
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the big match.

37:11.554 --> 37:14.215
[SPEAKER_00]: This is this is fitting of

37:15.877 --> 37:16.858
[SPEAKER_00]: that world tile.

37:16.878 --> 37:25.646
[SPEAKER_00]: This is fitting of potentially the Riego Kusimohalsho Grand Destiny.

37:25.686 --> 37:27.448
[SPEAKER_00]: This fits all those boxes.

37:27.608 --> 37:28.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Checks all those boxes.

37:30.253 --> 37:32.134
[SPEAKER_00]: They absolutely crushed it.

37:32.254 --> 37:33.295
[SPEAKER_00]: They sold the tournament.

37:33.335 --> 37:35.916
[SPEAKER_00]: They sold the potential of a future match.

37:36.276 --> 37:37.076
[SPEAKER_00]: They sold everything.

37:37.116 --> 37:41.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, everyone had their moments, but there was no moments better than these two clashing.

37:41.838 --> 37:45.159
[SPEAKER_00]: These two going face to face and tells you all you need to know.

37:45.359 --> 37:47.160
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the match.

37:47.860 --> 37:50.642
[SPEAKER_00]: If it comes to fruition, it's going to be incredible.

37:50.782 --> 37:51.602
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it does.

37:51.702 --> 37:58.725
[SPEAKER_00]: I think these two have everything you need to put on an absolute classic for that world championship.

38:02.508 --> 38:05.530
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, you had the Superfly Championship match.

38:05.610 --> 38:07.171
[SPEAKER_00]: My U.T.A.R.S.

38:07.211 --> 38:08.332
[SPEAKER_00]: is a reading I'm Inaka.

38:10.133 --> 38:19.940
[SPEAKER_00]: And I will admittedly get emotional here along the way because this was a very emotional match.

38:20.901 --> 38:23.303
[SPEAKER_00]: For none other than my U.T.A.R.A.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.

38:25.455 --> 38:32.900
[SPEAKER_00]: So my you revealed on social media on Sunday that her father had passed away.

38:37.142 --> 38:40.624
[SPEAKER_00]: Her father who had been sick for, I believe she said, twenty years.

38:41.685 --> 38:46.688
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, never got to see her be cool as a pro wrestler in the ring.

38:46.708 --> 38:49.490
[SPEAKER_00]: She never got to see her be a pro wrestler.

38:50.090 --> 38:53.072
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, this is a wrestler who

38:55.415 --> 39:04.837
[SPEAKER_00]: as you know, ran away from her home to do this and become the icon.

39:05.077 --> 39:17.000
[SPEAKER_00]: So just to think of all that and to know, you know, she shared the story of getting to go see her father after all these years and have that moment before his passing, which is nice.

39:19.176 --> 39:25.781
[SPEAKER_00]: but it's something that weighs on any one, you know, even the strongest.

39:26.782 --> 39:39.271
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, my Ueutani to me and to many others is truly the icon, truly the sign of greatness in professional wrestling.

39:41.092 --> 39:46.876
[SPEAKER_00]: But as my friend and friend of the show, Alex Richards perfectly said,

39:50.093 --> 39:51.635
[SPEAKER_00]: on startup quests this week.

39:52.316 --> 39:58.225
[SPEAKER_00]: She really does, she really is, you know, everything you want.

39:59.587 --> 40:03.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Someone to be, you know, there's no one that's maybe been knocked.

40:04.702 --> 40:08.004
[SPEAKER_00]: down and gotten back up more than my U.S.

40:08.044 --> 40:09.425
[SPEAKER_00]: attorney.

40:09.445 --> 40:22.612
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that she's not only gotten up so many times, but built herself back up and built herself to be great, or built herself to be the greatest to ever, in my opinion, wrestle.

40:26.094 --> 40:32.417
[SPEAKER_00]: Most people, most people may have

40:34.860 --> 40:37.182
[SPEAKER_00]: their troubles along the way we all do.

40:37.783 --> 40:45.910
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's a reason I connect to my even so many others do because she embodies everything you want yourself to be.

40:47.972 --> 40:51.855
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to be perseverant, you want to push forward, you want to be great.

40:52.818 --> 40:53.999
[SPEAKER_00]: at least that's how I feel.

40:54.339 --> 41:01.364
[SPEAKER_00]: And this match and her post match promo is what I'm going to remember forever.

41:01.624 --> 41:13.692
[SPEAKER_00]: If I was to someday, and I hope to someday, whether it be right a book or do a series or whatever it may be on my way to time in her career, this is going to be a massive part of it.

41:14.132 --> 41:17.634
[SPEAKER_00]: For many people, they may swoop in, watch this championship match.

41:17.674 --> 41:19.716
[SPEAKER_00]: Be like, wow, that are really young and not because pretty good.

41:19.776 --> 41:21.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, you had a really great match with

41:21.997 --> 41:44.981
[SPEAKER_00]: you know someone who we haven't seen a lot of but for anyone that follows the career of my you know how important this was the match itself is awesome like playing in simple it's awesome it's my you at her very best no person should have to go through what she went through this past week and step into the ring and do this but

41:47.931 --> 41:57.884
[SPEAKER_00]: she's always shown the pro wrestling is her place it is her safe place is where she delivers it's where she's my you and it's where you know she

41:59.863 --> 42:02.945
[SPEAKER_00]: walks into the ring as the icon.

42:03.866 --> 42:07.929
[SPEAKER_00]: And you could see just within the entrance, you know, she has her smile on her face.

42:07.949 --> 42:08.990
[SPEAKER_00]: She has the mask on.

42:09.610 --> 42:11.632
[SPEAKER_00]: But there are moments, you know, she looks up.

42:12.532 --> 42:15.514
[SPEAKER_00]: She has some sadness, but, you know, she keeps going through.

42:15.535 --> 42:20.638
[SPEAKER_00]: And her and Yamanaka proceed to have this great super fly championship match.

42:21.139 --> 42:23.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Some awesome near fall, some back and forth.

42:24.121 --> 42:26.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Some real moments of Yamanaka really showing out.

42:28.331 --> 42:30.393
[SPEAKER_00]: by far her best performance in Margo.

42:30.433 --> 42:37.979
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's in my you bringing up her opponent and bring up her opponent in a way that you're going to remember.

42:38.479 --> 42:42.703
[SPEAKER_00]: It's something I've watched my you do year after year after year, match after match after match.

42:42.763 --> 42:44.844
[SPEAKER_00]: It's why she's the greatest.

42:44.904 --> 42:52.510
[SPEAKER_00]: It's why, you know, there's just no one that will ever replicate what my you Tony is.

42:54.032 --> 42:54.192
[SPEAKER_00]: And

42:57.507 --> 43:12.857
[SPEAKER_00]: The match is second to her pouring out of emotion, her openness and her ability to share her heart, share her feelings with the world after the match.

43:18.500 --> 43:23.744
[SPEAKER_00]: I tears in my eyes during her promo as did she and asked that I'm sure many others.

43:26.185 --> 43:38.350
[SPEAKER_00]: She tells her, you know, her father, she loves her and brings up the fact that, you know, she believes this is the first time he got to see her as a cool wrestler.

43:41.651 --> 43:42.792
[SPEAKER_00]: She shared that emotion.

43:42.852 --> 43:44.333
[SPEAKER_00]: She shared that resiliency.

43:44.433 --> 43:46.373
[SPEAKER_00]: The resiliency that my U.S.

43:46.413 --> 43:49.975
[SPEAKER_00]: had time and time and time again.

43:52.942 --> 44:02.233
[SPEAKER_00]: It reminds me in a week or a couple of a number of weeks that I've had to have resiliency time and time and time again.

44:05.253 --> 44:20.984
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, many times when I talk about my Utah to piece together with the perfect words, but it's something that she does so well, even for someone who obviously, you know, we always have our fun with my right.

44:21.024 --> 44:28.009
[SPEAKER_00]: She can be a little bit clumsy, a little bit funny, but in the most serious moments, there's no one better at

44:31.075 --> 44:37.698
[SPEAKER_00]: showing that emotion and making everything so emotional around her and bringing her fans in the viewer in.

44:37.718 --> 44:48.924
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, my you, my you did not have to wrestle this match, but she did and she did it in such an incredible way and she shared her story with us.

44:49.544 --> 44:57.248
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just, I can't thank her enough for being her, playing in simple.

44:59.396 --> 45:00.677
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll never have shame.

45:01.097 --> 45:06.499
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll never be upset to continuously tweet the greatest of all time on my account.

45:06.779 --> 45:11.541
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll never have shame in doing that on this podcast on this channel because I truly believe it.

45:11.561 --> 45:18.564
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no wrestler that has really helped me capture my love for pro wrestling more than my.

45:18.604 --> 45:21.005
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's moments like these that you'll never forget.

45:23.166 --> 45:28.408
[SPEAKER_00]: My uthani is truly everything that I think.

45:30.543 --> 45:32.504
[SPEAKER_00]: at its heart, perishing should be.

45:33.205 --> 45:35.186
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thank her for her words.

45:35.366 --> 45:37.908
[SPEAKER_00]: I thank her for always getting up.

45:38.348 --> 45:42.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I thank her for being a role model.

45:42.191 --> 45:44.092
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thank her for just being her.

45:45.273 --> 45:47.255
[SPEAKER_00]: We're all human, you know, like

45:48.716 --> 45:50.556
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's always something forgotten.

45:50.576 --> 45:54.577
[SPEAKER_00]: With famous people, actors, directors, wrestlers, everything.

45:54.837 --> 45:55.837
[SPEAKER_00]: We're all human.

45:55.877 --> 46:06.379
[SPEAKER_00]: We all have an outside part of us that maybe others don't know about, especially for someone like Maya who has been in the spotlight of the Joshi spotlight.

46:06.699 --> 46:13.800
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a reason why I was so happy she joined Margold.

46:13.900 --> 46:16.701
[SPEAKER_00]: I did three videos that week, right, when she left.

46:17.862 --> 46:21.405
[SPEAKER_00]: when she joined and just celebrating her incredible week there is.

46:24.507 --> 46:27.589
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no doubt in my mind she is where she's supposed to be.

46:27.989 --> 46:32.152
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no doubt in my mind that she's going to continue to be where she's supposed to be.

46:33.733 --> 46:40.298
[SPEAKER_00]: She makes everything around her better and I thank her for just a truly, truly.

46:42.846 --> 46:49.772
[SPEAKER_00]: incredible performance, emotional performance, a promo I'll never forget, moments I'll never forget.

46:50.633 --> 47:04.846
[SPEAKER_00]: And now she heads into the Dream Star Grand Prix for the first time ever, and she's going to put on one of the best performances of her career, time and time again, after a five star Grand Prix last year that was probably her best tournament run ever.

47:05.985 --> 47:09.186
[SPEAKER_00]: She's the greatest of all time for so many different reasons.

47:09.806 --> 47:22.451
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just want to say thank you to my you for everything she continues to do and for making pro wrestling so important to me and making moments like these a reality.

47:25.526 --> 47:29.189
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll talk about the Dreamstock Grand Prix real quick here.

47:29.209 --> 47:33.252
[SPEAKER_00]: I thank you for anyone that listened to that.

47:33.332 --> 47:35.373
[SPEAKER_00]: That was, there was no planned words.

47:35.473 --> 47:44.540
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just me thinking out loud really about how much I really do appreciate who my use as a wrestler as a person and everything in between.

47:45.341 --> 47:50.124
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's talk about the Dreamstock Grand Prix real quick here before we get out of here.

47:50.264 --> 47:53.427
[SPEAKER_00]: So we had the press conference on

47:54.913 --> 48:09.014
[SPEAKER_00]: Thursday, you have the dream league here from left to right, Chiyaki, Siriyamioka, Kokiyamaari, Tomahashita, Mayui, Otani, Victoria, Zuki, Reisato, and the new edition of Maria.

48:10.696 --> 48:27.445
[SPEAKER_00]: Funny press conference if you watch just for Maria because she was a very interesting aspect you know acting like she was sleeping when you do que was talking saying she'd potrasy take Ross if she wanted yes that every time she wins he it she gets a special meal y'all these funny things

48:28.325 --> 48:36.693
[SPEAKER_00]: But some of the more important things I think also we're taking from here as utami's tournament hair is back back to being long hair utami.

48:36.753 --> 48:37.995
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's always notable.

48:38.755 --> 48:48.445
[SPEAKER_00]: But one of the other things is Victoria Zuki, which she followed up in a Tokyo sports interview is that she will be

48:49.824 --> 48:52.965
[SPEAKER_00]: going for the United National Championship if she wins this tournament.

48:53.085 --> 48:54.166
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's important.

48:54.906 --> 49:01.709
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've been asked many times, you know, when the five star winner through the years and the dreams star winner through the years,

49:03.993 --> 49:06.815
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's just an automatic world title shot.

49:06.855 --> 49:14.419
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, that became that the last number of years in the five-star Grand Prix, but once upon a time, that wasn't always the case.

49:15.259 --> 49:22.283
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's very fitting that Victoria Zuki, if she wins this tournament, calendar for the United National title.

49:23.003 --> 49:30.587
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember a certain Mayu Yubitani winning the five-star Grand Prix and challenging for the wonder of startup championship.

49:30.727 --> 49:33.449
[SPEAKER_00]: If you know, like the

49:35.977 --> 49:43.240
[SPEAKER_00]: The history of the Five Star Grand Prix tournament was always challenged for whatever you choose.

49:44.360 --> 49:50.643
[SPEAKER_00]: And so many of the times, it was the world of the startup championship, easier to get caught in the Naitaka Hashi.

49:51.203 --> 49:57.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyri Hojo Yoko Bito, Tony Storm, Otakamura, Otanyashista, Sherri, Julia, Susuki, Micah.

49:57.731 --> 49:59.493
[SPEAKER_00]: They all challenge to the World of Storm Championship.

49:59.773 --> 50:08.283
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, Sherri, when she was championed, challenged for the goddesses of Storm Tiles with Mayu, and when Mayu won, she challenged for the wonder or start of championship.

50:08.783 --> 50:10.204
[SPEAKER_00]: in twenty eighteen.

50:10.484 --> 50:20.248
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's important, you know, you zucchini in many ways, uh, maybe in ways that people don't fully see, still following my U. Tony's path through and through.

50:20.268 --> 50:22.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I'm excited for this block.

50:22.429 --> 50:23.870
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm safe for what they'll bring to the table.

50:23.950 --> 50:26.991
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll preview or I'll give you a look at the upcoming matches.

50:28.523 --> 50:36.030
[SPEAKER_00]: this weekend, of course, because there are three shows technically, but two days of the tournament.

50:36.070 --> 50:38.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's just talk about the Star League hero quick.

50:38.273 --> 50:41.536
[SPEAKER_00]: You've me some Matsui, because I'm going to talk about my soccer right.

50:42.988 --> 50:48.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Mikuano, Chica Goro, the Gisanozaki, and Chan Ioda.

50:49.431 --> 50:59.476
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the more notable things from this is that Gocchica took the Goro Revolution saying, so this is the Gocchica Revolution now.

51:01.712 --> 51:03.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Not too many take away.

51:03.273 --> 51:03.753
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of them.

51:03.773 --> 51:04.993
[SPEAKER_00]: We're just laying on the tournament.

51:05.213 --> 51:15.417
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, things like that, though, me some not to be hilariously had the exact number of years and days to the minute that she last faced Nozaki, you know, one on one match.

51:15.477 --> 51:16.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was very funny as well.

51:17.718 --> 51:19.519
[SPEAKER_00]: Nozaki's like that's crazy.

51:20.419 --> 51:23.202
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is a fun little, you know, thirty-minute presser.

51:23.722 --> 51:27.706
[SPEAKER_00]: I was mostly about Maria joining, but just wanted to bring it up real quick.

51:27.726 --> 51:29.027
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's get to it now.

51:29.067 --> 51:31.309
[SPEAKER_00]: This upcoming weekend, the term is here.

51:31.669 --> 51:33.291
[SPEAKER_00]: The Dream Star Grand Prix begins.

51:33.311 --> 51:41.238
[SPEAKER_00]: I will be on this YouTube channel to dot com slash, ask, got the wrestling every single show to give you a match by match review.

51:41.258 --> 51:45.282
[SPEAKER_00]: And the opening day is a packed one, but a great one.

51:46.042 --> 51:48.284
[SPEAKER_00]: So, here are your day show matches.

51:48.384 --> 52:00.913
[SPEAKER_00]: First off, in the star league of my soccer right versus Chen Yota, as you can see here, Mikuano versus Misa Matsui, Morai versus Chika Gato and Kazuna Tanaka versus Negisa Nozaki, and then your likely main event.

52:01.193 --> 52:10.260
[SPEAKER_00]: You have Victoria Yuzuki going one-on-one with a Tommy Heishista in that day show, and then on the other side, Mario Yutani goes one-on-one with Maria.

52:10.360 --> 52:12.702
[SPEAKER_00]: That should be really fun first time ever match.

52:13.122 --> 52:13.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Koki Amari.

52:13.723 --> 52:15.924
[SPEAKER_00]: It was one of one of the rare set-up and Chiyaki.

52:15.944 --> 52:18.486
[SPEAKER_00]: It was one of one with Sarah Iamahoka.

52:18.986 --> 52:31.495
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the flip side of that, on the night show, you have the big time rematch headlining, the Star League, as Mikuano and Marae face off for the very first time since Summer Destiny last year.

52:31.535 --> 52:33.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, Mikuano was the one to get the win.

52:33.997 --> 52:35.218
[SPEAKER_00]: She's one, oh, and three.

52:35.758 --> 52:37.339
[SPEAKER_00]: against her rival, Mariah.

52:37.659 --> 52:39.140
[SPEAKER_00]: And this brings up a good point.

52:39.581 --> 52:56.632
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're on this podcast right now, on fightful.com right now, right before this tournament kicks off on Saturday, a full length interview is on there with none other than Miku, I don't know, talking about her, her rival, Ruth, Mariah.

52:56.952 --> 53:00.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk about the first year, Margo, talking about the upcoming Dream Star Grand Prix tournament.

53:01.075 --> 53:03.016
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta go check it out.

53:03.136 --> 53:04.597
[SPEAKER_00]: She was incredible as always.

53:05.138 --> 53:11.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Please, please, please do that if you haven't, especially ahead of this big time matchup.

53:11.602 --> 53:19.788
[SPEAKER_00]: Other Star League matches include my Sakurai versus Negisunozaki, Chika Goro versus Misa Matsui, and Kazuma Takah versus Chan Yoda.

53:20.588 --> 53:28.513
[SPEAKER_00]: On the other side, in the dream league, one of my most anticipated matches, arguably my most anticipated match, which I hope is the main event.

53:28.773 --> 53:31.335
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be Mario, we were Tommy versus Sariyama Yoka.

53:31.715 --> 53:33.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot wait for that.

53:33.617 --> 53:40.561
[SPEAKER_00]: You also have a Tommy High Shistup versus Rezzetto, Victoria Zuki versus Chiyaki and Koki Amare versus Maria.

53:41.041 --> 53:49.367
[SPEAKER_00]: And then after that in day two of the tournament, it's just two matches, but in the dream league, it'll be Tommy High Shistup versus Chiyaki.

53:49.987 --> 53:54.671
[SPEAKER_00]: on Sunday and Misa Matsui versus Chenyota as well in Hiroshima.

53:55.392 --> 53:57.574
[SPEAKER_00]: The turn will not be back until the weekend after.

53:57.914 --> 53:59.996
[SPEAKER_00]: So simple as that simple enough.

54:00.436 --> 54:02.077
[SPEAKER_00]: But hey, I'm looking forward to it.

54:02.538 --> 54:03.459
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you are too.

54:03.639 --> 54:05.901
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, daily reviews coming very, very soon.

54:06.341 --> 54:07.842
[SPEAKER_00]: But with that, that is it.

54:08.002 --> 54:09.223
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the show this week.

54:09.284 --> 54:10.525
[SPEAKER_00]: I thank you everyone for listening.

54:10.825 --> 54:16.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for listening to my, uh, feel about my uthani and her weekend, uh, the credible, uh,

[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you continue to enjoy those and I hope you're just enjoying the overall content that this channel continues to bring to the table.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have had this podcast on this network for every single minute it's existed.

54:51.844 --> 54:54.667
[SPEAKER_00]: And we got up that dream star Grand Prix.

54:55.288 --> 54:57.170
[SPEAKER_00]: Extra early on that feed as well.

54:57.230 --> 55:00.574
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you didn't check it out and you want you don't want to watch the full video.

55:00.714 --> 55:02.156
[SPEAKER_00]: We have the MP three version up.

[SPEAKER_00]: So make sure you do that.

55:03.557 --> 55:06.621
[SPEAKER_00]: I think everyone that continues to listen that continues to support.

55:08.837 --> 55:12.138
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully we can have some live shows soon here on the YouTube channel.

55:12.218 --> 55:13.419
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that'd be a lot of fun.

55:13.499 --> 55:15.139
[SPEAKER_00]: We have one and those pretty cool.

55:15.179 --> 55:16.400
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe we'll get back to that.

55:17.140 --> 55:18.480
[SPEAKER_00]: But thank you everyone for the support.

55:18.760 --> 55:19.801
[SPEAKER_00]: It means the world to me.

55:20.601 --> 55:21.221
[SPEAKER_00]: It really does.

55:21.721 --> 55:23.342
[SPEAKER_00]: And I can't thank you all enough.

55:23.602 --> 55:29.164
[SPEAKER_00]: So until next time, everyone, enjoy the tournament season, enjoy Josie wrestling.

55:30.244 --> 55:33.005
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll see you next week.

55:33.465 --> 55:36.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless you're watching the Daily Reviews, then I'll see you tomorrow.

55:36.486 --> 55:37.106
[SPEAKER_00]: And the next day.

55:37.687 --> 55:38.327
[SPEAKER_00]: And the next day.

55:38.888 --> 55:39.652
[SPEAKER_00]: And you get the point.

55:39.954 --> 55:40.376
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see you.

55:40.497 --> 55:41.321
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see you when I see you.

55:41.885 --> 55:42.589
[SPEAKER_00]: So long, everybody.
