[SPEAKER_00]: So much to go over, so much to discuss.

00:41.043 --> 00:49.986
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a really fun weekend to be a Yoshi fan, whether you've been a fan for a short time or a long time.

00:50.046 --> 00:51.427
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot to celebrate.

00:51.467 --> 00:52.747
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot to discuss.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, everyone, for joining me.

00:55.248 --> 00:56.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Happy to be here.

00:56.508 --> 00:59.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Busy, busy week for me thus far.

00:59.450 --> 01:03.011
[SPEAKER_00]: But boy, boy, it's been an absolute delight to

01:03.871 --> 01:06.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Watch all this Josie and now get to talk about it.

01:06.693 --> 01:10.115
[SPEAKER_00]: So thank you for everyone who has shown support throughout the week.

01:10.196 --> 01:20.803
[SPEAKER_00]: If you've checked out all the content I've been putting together, whether it be the five star days or the dream star days, it means the world to me.

01:22.444 --> 01:29.007
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it was a lot of work, but the five star was fully reviewed on the YouTube channel.

01:29.028 --> 01:29.748
[SPEAKER_00]: You go check it out.

01:29.788 --> 01:41.474
[SPEAKER_00]: The finals up now, uh, talking the matches between Asami and Rina, Serriano, Momuattanabe, and of course the ultimate final between Momo Oz.

01:41.874 --> 01:42.795
[SPEAKER_00]: You could also check out

01:43.937 --> 01:49.483
[SPEAKER_00]: The latest dream star review from day seven on that recording.

01:49.503 --> 01:54.948
[SPEAKER_00]: We also talked about my Utahni versus go Chica, which we'll talk about here a little bit today.

01:55.609 --> 01:57.451
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll continue that on Saturday.

01:57.931 --> 02:00.073
[SPEAKER_00]: Saturday has a very exciting show.

02:00.114 --> 02:04.238
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be the dream star day eight of the tournament heads.

02:05.739 --> 02:11.244
[SPEAKER_00]: to cork and hall, which is always one of the best shows of any tournament.

02:11.344 --> 02:13.526
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely keep an eye out for that.

02:13.546 --> 02:15.908
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll preview that here today as well.

02:16.268 --> 02:23.034
[SPEAKER_00]: But before I get over to the rest of this show, I asked you all that over to Josie Jurles.

02:24.596 --> 02:32.403
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a great time joining that channel to talk and discuss future

02:33.845 --> 02:35.285
[SPEAKER_00]: International wrestlers.

02:35.345 --> 02:36.226
[SPEAKER_00]: We'd like to see.

02:36.986 --> 02:38.606
[SPEAKER_00]: So please go check that video out.

02:38.626 --> 02:39.667
[SPEAKER_00]: I had it on a fun.

02:39.687 --> 02:41.187
[SPEAKER_00]: Josie General was just awesome.

02:41.667 --> 02:43.588
[SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't subscribed, go subscribe.

02:43.608 --> 02:44.548
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great channel.

02:45.348 --> 02:47.629
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely love the work over there.

02:48.189 --> 02:51.530
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an honor to get to tune in and jump on that.

02:51.630 --> 02:55.071
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll leave a link below to the video if you're interested.

02:55.771 --> 02:57.252
[SPEAKER_00]: But definitely go check it out.

02:57.292 --> 02:58.412
[SPEAKER_00]: See who we talked about.

02:58.652 --> 03:01.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously you can kind of get an idea based on this thumbnail.

03:02.493 --> 03:06.997
[SPEAKER_00]: But what that being said, let's get to our regularly scheduled programming.

03:07.457 --> 03:10.840
[SPEAKER_00]: And that, of course, starts in the world wonder ring.

03:12.321 --> 03:20.608
[SPEAKER_00]: The world wonder ring of startup had the five star grand, pre finals this past weekend.

03:20.629 --> 03:29.136
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll be off this upcoming weekend before starting to the world this upcoming or sorry.

03:30.599 --> 03:33.665
[SPEAKER_00]: next Saturday, which is a big time paper view.

03:35.287 --> 03:37.671
[SPEAKER_00]: Plenty of news to talk about as well though, so.

03:39.557 --> 03:44.039
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're looking for your start-up catch-up, you have come to the right place.

03:44.519 --> 03:52.523
[SPEAKER_00]: So this show had plenty of matches throughout, opened up, would be a pretty high on site, either of our site, Contaminas, Victoria, and Roaca.

03:54.024 --> 03:56.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to go through every single match.

03:56.485 --> 03:58.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I did review it over on the

04:00.747 --> 04:18.369
[SPEAKER_00]: five star finals video if you want to go check that out if you want to get a full taste of the match by match review instant reaction, but a lot of this will be talking about the other events from the show that I didn't talk about on there, and we'll also just be talking about overall just an exciting

04:19.210 --> 04:24.316
[SPEAKER_00]: dose of matches being set up, which I think is always important for these cards.

04:24.336 --> 04:25.156
[SPEAKER_00]: So that opening match.

04:25.197 --> 04:26.858
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sorry, I'm telling you get the win.

04:28.600 --> 04:32.364
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously heading into the big title match against

04:34.900 --> 04:37.545
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a big title match against B previously.

04:37.825 --> 04:47.421
[SPEAKER_00]: That was an important aspect, but one of the key moments on this show was that Tomoka Inaba officially challenged Starlight Kid to a

04:49.602 --> 04:51.464
[SPEAKER_00]: wonder or start of championship match.

04:51.764 --> 05:05.638
[SPEAKER_00]: This is important because this has been a match we've been building for really months, you know, like this has been a match that these two have hinted at time and time again, dating back to pretty much February.

05:06.038 --> 05:10.382
[SPEAKER_00]: It's put a lot of work in a lot to do and now we're here.

05:10.723 --> 05:11.403
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we're here

05:13.185 --> 05:14.826
[SPEAKER_00]: And it makes all the sense in the world, right?

05:15.106 --> 05:22.349
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, on the opening night of the five star grand prix for those who don't know, um, to Moka made Starlight Kid tap out.

05:22.389 --> 05:26.792
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Starlight Kid Blames to Moka for the way her tournament went.

05:26.832 --> 05:30.814
[SPEAKER_00]: She said she started on the back foot, and she can never get that momentum going against.

05:30.834 --> 05:37.817
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a very important aspect when you're following along with this story and when you're following along with this match.

05:38.177 --> 05:42.298
[SPEAKER_00]: these two want to destroy each other, these two want to take each other out.

05:42.618 --> 05:47.380
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's such an exciting aspect to this match that maybe you didn't expect going in.

05:47.400 --> 05:52.381
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, once upon a time, have we done it three or four months ago?

05:52.801 --> 05:56.802
[SPEAKER_00]: It might have been more of a friendly, friendly bout.

05:56.842 --> 05:59.443
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, okay, you know, it's just wrestling versus wrestling.

05:59.463 --> 06:02.704
[SPEAKER_00]: But there seems to be a little bit more steam behind this one.

06:03.004 --> 06:05.205
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit more heat behind this one now.

06:05.505 --> 06:07.487
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's super duper exciting.

06:08.007 --> 06:11.090
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll take place on starting to the world on September six.

06:11.410 --> 06:11.871
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a match.

06:12.111 --> 06:17.256
[SPEAKER_00]: I am hyped for the tag match that this match happened in with Ami and Tamoka against me.

06:17.316 --> 06:18.437
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a soccer star like it.

06:18.777 --> 06:23.201
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was quite enjoyable for what it's worth if you want to go check that out.

06:23.701 --> 06:27.425
[SPEAKER_00]: The other results on the show that didn't have to do.

06:28.803 --> 06:30.143
[SPEAKER_00]: with titles or the tournament.

06:30.744 --> 06:35.725
[SPEAKER_00]: You had Iosakra, not to point Syaka Karar defeat Anako Riyana Wakusugiyama.

06:36.206 --> 06:42.028
[SPEAKER_00]: After that, looked like Iosakra and Syaka Karar have their site set on the new blood tag team titles.

06:42.108 --> 06:43.188
[SPEAKER_00]: I said it many times.

06:43.228 --> 06:43.908
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say it again.

06:44.288 --> 06:50.111
[SPEAKER_00]: Young Cozen is and should be the next champions of those belts.

06:50.751 --> 06:54.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Iosakra has lost the Senegal Junior Championship.

06:54.452 --> 06:58.433
[SPEAKER_00]: So Acacara has lost many a match since she won the Cinderella.

06:58.813 --> 07:01.274
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we are kind of back at even footing with these two.

07:01.694 --> 07:04.295
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's have them go get those belts.

07:04.335 --> 07:07.976
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think bring something to those belts that I'm looking for.

07:07.996 --> 07:11.317
[SPEAKER_00]: They're so many new blood shows coming up in October.

07:11.897 --> 07:14.798
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to have to put at least one of these matches on there.

07:15.834 --> 07:20.259
[SPEAKER_00]: We also had a three-way match, unimus and morey, defeated, may Sarah and Saki Kashima.

07:20.559 --> 07:23.202
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where unimus and morey officially challenged.

07:23.643 --> 07:26.366
[SPEAKER_00]: May Sarah to a high speed championship match.

07:26.686 --> 07:28.769
[SPEAKER_00]: That is set for the quirk and haul show a week.

07:29.549 --> 07:32.633
[SPEAKER_00]: The same, I believe it's the same week as start to the world.

07:32.653 --> 07:36.697
[SPEAKER_00]: It will be a nighter show in the middle of the week.

07:37.158 --> 07:46.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Exciting for unimusivori who again has been someone since pretty much April that has wanted that title but never got to do that challenge with Mesaara now she will.

07:48.130 --> 07:56.138
[SPEAKER_00]: You also meet Vida Loka Suzuki, Rini Yamashita and the Kira Kura Gane, defeating Hizuki Koguma and Dark Celita of

07:57.235 --> 07:57.995
[SPEAKER_00]: CMLL.

07:58.615 --> 08:03.676
[SPEAKER_00]: This was just kind of to build up Susuke obviously for later in the night.

08:04.096 --> 08:08.137
[SPEAKER_00]: But now we can get to our championship matches and all the important stuff.

08:08.517 --> 08:14.159
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a future of startup championship match between Hina and Ronnie Yagami.

08:14.379 --> 08:16.499
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the second time they faced off.

08:16.599 --> 08:20.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Ronnie Yagami had originally challenged Hina at all star grand.

08:20.660 --> 08:22.640
[SPEAKER_00]: Queen them back in April.

08:23.060 --> 08:25.381
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she comes back around after getting the win.

08:25.921 --> 08:32.664
[SPEAKER_00]: over Hina in the five star grand prix with a chance to take the belt off of Hina.

08:33.725 --> 08:37.406
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of debated what was the better idea here.

08:37.426 --> 08:46.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want Ronald losing twice or do you want to go with her now but kind of stop Hina's run when it's really started to get going, right?

08:46.770 --> 08:49.732
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's been kind of the debate, at least for myself.

08:51.645 --> 08:55.348
[SPEAKER_00]: And ultimately I landed on, I think we just got to keep the heena run going.

08:55.388 --> 08:59.891
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a confidence level to what she does.

08:59.931 --> 09:05.055
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a consistency level to what she does that I think the future of startup championship.

09:06.675 --> 09:14.439
[SPEAKER_00]: doesn't necessarily need, but it's very helpful when you are facing so many young up and coming stars, right?

09:15.100 --> 09:20.463
[SPEAKER_00]: All these wrestlers are either brand new rookies or have less than three years of experience.

09:20.803 --> 09:25.085
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Hina has because of her age, of course.

09:25.105 --> 09:26.586
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think Hina has shown

09:30.923 --> 09:35.365
[SPEAKER_00]: that because of her experience, but also still her youth.

09:35.665 --> 09:39.586
[SPEAKER_00]: She is the perfect champion, much like Reno was a year ago.

09:39.827 --> 09:44.708
[SPEAKER_00]: So I love the Heena, rolled through here, got the win.

09:45.289 --> 09:47.209
[SPEAKER_00]: The match was very competitive, very exciting.

09:47.450 --> 09:55.613
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it was interesting watching this show, because you have the incredible five star matches to kick off the show, obviously, close with the final.

09:55.973 --> 09:57.253
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you have an I did G.P.

09:57.273 --> 09:58.474
[SPEAKER_00]: Williams title match after this.

09:58.954 --> 10:01.475
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was kind of shoehorned in the middle.

10:01.495 --> 10:11.218
[SPEAKER_00]: I was trying to shine a bit more as a singles match on a show full of big time singles matches.

10:11.258 --> 10:13.259
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think they did good for the time.

10:13.319 --> 10:16.620
[SPEAKER_00]: They were allotted and, you know, they have good chemistry.

10:16.760 --> 10:18.021
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was fine.

10:18.121 --> 10:18.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty solid.

10:19.221 --> 10:24.063
[SPEAKER_00]: And he not rightfully kept the belt around her waist, which was the most important

10:24.863 --> 10:26.384
[SPEAKER_00]: part.

10:26.484 --> 10:29.685
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we had the IWGP woman's championship match.

10:29.705 --> 10:42.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, making her first defense since defeating Sherry for the belt, taking on Konami, the woman who made her go to sleep on night one of the five star Grand Prix.

10:43.051 --> 10:51.035
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes my favorite thing when watching, sorry, is how she goes back.

10:51.803 --> 11:01.225
[SPEAKER_00]: who moments in the story that she's telling moments in the rivalry that she's telling and makes that a part of her match.

11:03.106 --> 11:10.368
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so much right now, obviously with, you know, the booze of the start and fans and such, people are

11:11.962 --> 11:18.706
[SPEAKER_00]: underestimating how truly great of a storyteller, someone like Sari is.

11:19.807 --> 11:21.548
[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, this is pure bias.

11:21.608 --> 11:28.632
[SPEAKER_00]: I say it every time, but at the same time, I also think it's a full appreciation for what she's bringing to the table.

11:29.052 --> 11:37.938
[SPEAKER_00]: For so much of this match with Konami, they put focus on the sleeper hold, the same sleeper hold that made Sari loose.

11:38.598 --> 11:38.818
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

11:39.198 --> 11:39.579
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.

11:39.639 --> 11:42.220
[SPEAKER_00]: Went to sleep on that first show.

11:42.480 --> 11:44.521
[SPEAKER_00]: She went to sleep and everyone was stunned.

11:44.602 --> 11:45.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone was shocked.

11:46.363 --> 11:49.724
[SPEAKER_00]: And this match worked towards that.

11:50.305 --> 12:04.173
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the creativity of making that kind of the emphasis of Konami's attack was it's simple, but it's so smart because every time she locks it in, you think maybe this is it.

12:05.705 --> 12:13.420
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the craftiness and pro wrestling that should be followed through by many, but isn't always if that makes sense.

12:13.880 --> 12:16.846
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there is sometimes maybe a lost

12:18.277 --> 12:22.500
[SPEAKER_00]: art, maybe that's the word of what they're trying to do.

12:23.120 --> 12:33.327
[SPEAKER_00]: And when it comes to salary and her big matches, you always can figure out what she's trying to do because she sets it up and then delivers on it.

12:33.607 --> 12:35.369
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was very competitive.

12:35.629 --> 12:36.990
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was very exciting.

12:37.190 --> 12:40.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Never did I think Konami was taking the belt from salary.

12:40.652 --> 12:55.054
[SPEAKER_00]: but sorry and Konami got had good chemistry got the most out of Konami really that we've seen since our return you know between this and the first match I quite enjoyed it and I think for a first defense it was a good start you're also starting to hear

12:56.315 --> 13:13.206
[SPEAKER_00]: the crowds at the starter shows become a little closer to fifty fifty you know there's still the booze there's still the ones that are going to chair for hate when they're facing sorry and boo them against everyone else we saw it later in the night and we saw throughout the show really

13:15.805 --> 13:19.789
[SPEAKER_00]: But you're starting to, you know, kind of see the wave.

13:20.430 --> 13:21.370
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say this there.

13:21.631 --> 13:34.023
[SPEAKER_00]: I've read comments many times from fans with a, you know, Japanese friends, whatever, and they kind of expect the chance to get quieter, but it's always the loudest reactions on these shows.

13:34.463 --> 13:37.766
[SPEAKER_00]: People care about sorry one way or the other.

13:37.926 --> 13:50.456
[SPEAKER_00]: That's her incredible ability to make you care, to make you pay attention to what is in front of you, and to make you pay attention and care about the match itself.

13:50.516 --> 13:55.901
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's why she is so far ahead of the game, and it's always so far ahead of the game.

13:56.201 --> 14:01.866
[SPEAKER_00]: She got the win over Konami hitting the armed trap, you're an eye to get the victory.

14:03.554 --> 14:13.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, victory number one, successful defense number one, but we don't have to wait long for defense number two.

14:14.196 --> 14:20.358
[SPEAKER_00]: As Susu Suzuki made her way out to the ring and laid down the challenge.

14:20.578 --> 14:31.800
[SPEAKER_00]: After these two wrestled to an incredible fifty-minute draw in the five-star Grand Prix, mind you, one of my favorite matches of the five-star Grand Prix,

14:33.639 --> 14:36.200
[SPEAKER_00]: you knew that this was coming.

14:36.760 --> 14:38.740
[SPEAKER_00]: It just was a matter of how soon.

14:39.440 --> 14:42.541
[SPEAKER_00]: And boy, boy, if it's soon, we got it.

14:43.241 --> 14:50.542
[SPEAKER_00]: Start them to the world, September six, sorry, and Susan Suzuki, IWGP woman's championship.

14:50.822 --> 14:58.124
[SPEAKER_00]: So two weeks after her first defense of the IWGP title, the Sun God, the best in the world.

14:58.224 --> 15:02.965
[SPEAKER_00]: So I resteps right back into the ring and takes on the Mi Vita Loka.

15:03.625 --> 15:05.448
[SPEAKER_00]: leader, Sue Suzuki.

15:06.349 --> 15:09.393
[SPEAKER_00]: I say good luck to every other match on this show.

15:09.453 --> 15:10.755
[SPEAKER_00]: There is an intensity.

15:10.795 --> 15:15.020
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a physicality that no one on this show will be able to match.

15:15.061 --> 15:16.763
[SPEAKER_00]: And this show is a great card.

15:16.983 --> 15:17.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

15:17.263 --> 15:18.245
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a world title.

15:18.265 --> 15:18.846
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a wonder.

15:19.206 --> 15:20.768
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you have this one.

15:21.949 --> 15:26.612
[SPEAKER_00]: But this match has all the makings to be truly incredible.

15:26.632 --> 15:31.435
[SPEAKER_00]: It has all the makings to be a top tier match of the year contender.

15:31.916 --> 15:34.297
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the capability of sorry.

15:34.557 --> 15:36.458
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the capabilities of Susu Suzuki.

15:36.679 --> 15:39.060
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen it throughout this year with Susu Suzuki.

15:39.440 --> 15:41.281
[SPEAKER_00]: She can get to that level again.

15:41.522 --> 15:46.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Her match with Saya-Kalantani for the world of starting championship is still one of my favorites of the year.

15:49.565 --> 15:51.954
[SPEAKER_00]: It can be overlooked from the tan stuff, right?

15:52.114 --> 15:53.258
[SPEAKER_00]: It can be overlooked a bit.

15:54.507 --> 16:02.233
[SPEAKER_00]: I think what it comes to, the Sia-Khamatani rain, but that match is truly fantastic, truly sensational.

16:02.974 --> 16:10.619
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, of course, Suzy versus Mesaire, from all-star grand-coing them, twenty, twenty, five, just an incredible bloody affair.

16:11.040 --> 16:15.583
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm wondering how far these two are going to be willing to go or able to go.

16:15.663 --> 16:18.045
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's so much excitement.

16:18.325 --> 16:21.448
[SPEAKER_00]: There's also so much creativity in what these two can do.

16:23.026 --> 16:28.311
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hope they're able to utilize all that creativity in this match.

16:28.991 --> 16:32.134
[SPEAKER_00]: This has all the makings to be a show stealer.

16:32.154 --> 16:34.816
[SPEAKER_00]: This has all the makings to be a year stealer.

16:35.176 --> 16:36.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Start until we're all twenty twenty five.

16:36.658 --> 16:41.262
[SPEAKER_00]: I did if you once titled sorry versus Suzuki be there.

16:41.682 --> 16:42.303
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait.

16:43.253 --> 16:45.573
[SPEAKER_00]: But now let's talk about the five star far and once more.

16:45.593 --> 16:52.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to give you a review of each match, but what I am going to do is praise all four of these wrestlers.

16:52.775 --> 16:59.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, Rena, I have said many times on this show and I'll say it again one second.

17:00.196 --> 17:00.796
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say it again.

17:03.197 --> 17:04.017
[SPEAKER_00]: She is incredible.

17:05.717 --> 17:09.138
[SPEAKER_00]: This is an eighteen year old who is

17:10.704 --> 17:18.429
[SPEAKER_00]: understanding of her character, understanding of her abilities, understanding of her story, and understanding of who she is.

17:20.490 --> 17:29.515
[SPEAKER_00]: That's difficult in any version of this world, let alone a professional wrestling ring in front of thousands of fans.

17:30.676 --> 17:36.680
[SPEAKER_00]: And not only is she succeeding, but in many cases, she is the very best.

17:38.410 --> 17:43.934
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no one to me that in this tournament itself outperformed Rita.

17:44.715 --> 17:56.263
[SPEAKER_00]: She was the MVP for me in this tournament and putting her in the final four, not the finals necessarily, but the final four took guts, but it also took belief.

17:56.983 --> 18:00.186
[SPEAKER_00]: And she took that belief and turned it into greatness.

18:00.746 --> 18:01.447
[SPEAKER_00]: Her and Ozumi

18:02.298 --> 18:06.239
[SPEAKER_00]: was one of if not my favorite matches of this tournament.

18:06.939 --> 18:21.862
[SPEAKER_00]: There is just something about the creativity between the two, the urgency between the two and the art of a arena big time match.

18:22.362 --> 18:28.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I know a lot of people love the lot of arena matches, but this one was the ultimate level because it followed in her story.

18:29.426 --> 18:44.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, if following her story of coming up short, if following her story of I'm going to get there someday and that a lot of that goes with, of course, trying to hit the Tiger Lily.

18:45.738 --> 18:51.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time she goes for that move, I can feel tears coming to my eyes.

18:52.743 --> 18:55.365
[SPEAKER_00]: I can feel emotions jumping out.

18:55.425 --> 18:56.666
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel it again right now.

18:58.135 --> 19:04.200
[SPEAKER_00]: The moment the day she hits that move, it is going to be surreal.

19:05.021 --> 19:06.982
[SPEAKER_00]: It is going to be unbelievable.

19:08.383 --> 19:13.047
[SPEAKER_00]: I think right now, Rina is the best wrestler in star.

19:14.408 --> 19:17.471
[SPEAKER_00]: That is absolutely, yes, she is my favorite.

19:18.451 --> 19:20.293
[SPEAKER_00]: It's her sci-accombatani right now.

19:21.154 --> 19:23.676
[SPEAKER_00]: When it comes to the stardom roster,

19:24.489 --> 19:25.530
[SPEAKER_00]: It is one of those two.

19:26.090 --> 19:30.213
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that she's even in that conversation is insane.

19:31.074 --> 19:39.420
[SPEAKER_00]: Starlight kids up there too, but the way Reena's going and every time she gets a big match, and the performance is she gets in those big matches.

19:39.700 --> 19:44.524
[SPEAKER_00]: On those big stages, it's undeniable to me how truly incredible she is.

19:45.024 --> 19:45.705
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's Reena.

19:47.206 --> 19:48.247
[SPEAKER_00]: You're also a Seriano.

19:49.188 --> 19:51.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Sarah, I don't, is a great tournament wrestler.

19:51.810 --> 19:54.432
[SPEAKER_00]: She had a very strong tournament this year, I thought.

19:55.673 --> 20:04.299
[SPEAKER_00]: But in some ways, she is the least praised of these four.

20:04.359 --> 20:05.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe because we're used to it.

20:06.541 --> 20:11.744
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe because she's been in the spotlight the most out of any of these four over the past two years.

20:14.506 --> 20:15.387
[SPEAKER_00]: But they are always great.

20:17.194 --> 20:18.296
[SPEAKER_00]: Play and assemble, she's great.

20:18.817 --> 20:24.506
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think when I watch her wrestle, I was such an incredible appreciation for what she does.

20:27.987 --> 20:36.855
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought from start to finish, she played the perfect role, and especially here on the final night, I think a lot of people myself included expected her to just get the win.

20:37.455 --> 20:50.187
[SPEAKER_00]: So her usage in this tournament of pouring full doubt on multiple scenarios, none more than the hopes of Momoa Tanabe fans was perfect.

20:50.287 --> 20:52.489
[SPEAKER_00]: When she gets that potter and you think it's over,

20:52.989 --> 20:56.071
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's how they built her up through this tournament.

20:56.131 --> 20:56.711
[SPEAKER_00]: She hits that.

20:56.831 --> 20:57.492
[SPEAKER_00]: It's over.

20:57.532 --> 21:06.217
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I think that mindset and I think that ability is what makes a great pro wrestler, but also what makes great pro wrestling.

21:06.698 --> 21:10.860
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was a case of great pro wrestling through Sarriano.

21:12.521 --> 21:14.002
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have Asami, of course.

21:14.823 --> 21:19.646
[SPEAKER_00]: Asami, one of your finalists in the five star finals.

21:20.766 --> 21:21.527
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no one.

21:23.915 --> 21:33.765
[SPEAKER_00]: that went out there and put on as many must see memorable performances in the playoffs as her.

21:36.160 --> 21:40.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Azumi stepped into the match with Hanan and crushed it.

21:41.083 --> 21:44.604
[SPEAKER_00]: She stepped into the match with Saiyakamatani and crushed it.

21:45.025 --> 21:50.928
[SPEAKER_00]: She stepped into the match with Rina and crushed it and she stepped into the finals with Momolatana and crushed it.

21:51.568 --> 22:00.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Azumi, this last week, between the playoffs on Wednesday at Corican Hall and the tournament finals on Saturday at Odo Ward.

22:01.233 --> 22:07.595
[SPEAKER_00]: Remind you how truly incredible of a wrestler she truly is.

22:08.655 --> 22:09.855
[SPEAKER_00]: That is what Ozumi did.

22:10.695 --> 22:12.956
[SPEAKER_00]: That is what Ozumi can continue to do.

22:13.656 --> 22:22.218
[SPEAKER_00]: She is so unbelievably talented and I think sometimes she can rest on her talent because of how good she is.

22:22.598 --> 22:27.079
[SPEAKER_00]: But what she has a week like this, it reminds me of how great she is.

22:27.519 --> 22:30.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Long been and how great she can still continue to reach.

22:31.680 --> 22:33.401
[SPEAKER_00]: This was an incredible run from her.

22:34.341 --> 22:37.802
[SPEAKER_00]: But ultimately, at the end of all this, it wasn't about as me.

22:38.242 --> 22:40.503
[SPEAKER_00]: It was about none other than Mama Watanabe.

22:41.783 --> 22:42.804
[SPEAKER_00]: The dream came true.

22:44.264 --> 23:00.689
[SPEAKER_00]: For many, long time, startup fans, the idea of the idea of Mama Watanabe winning the five-star Grand Prix was always there.

23:02.319 --> 23:06.180
[SPEAKER_00]: Twenty twenty one she came almost so close making to the finals and losing to Sherry.

23:07.621 --> 23:16.063
[SPEAKER_00]: In one of the best matches I've ever seen let alone the best five star grand pre final of all time.

23:18.764 --> 23:25.366
[SPEAKER_00]: It's since then it was so much of will she ever get there will she ever win you know she turned he'll soon after that and.

23:28.971 --> 23:33.034
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, a lot of this past year may me believe there's no chance.

23:33.914 --> 23:42.960
[SPEAKER_00]: She's always the one to give you a great championship match, but nothing more.

23:47.744 --> 23:54.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Owen Ford and title matches from Queen the last year through, I think it was like,

23:57.956 --> 24:05.783
[SPEAKER_00]: The Mercedes match in a W this year, four big title losses, two to Mercedes, one to my, and one to Micah.

24:06.944 --> 24:14.051
[SPEAKER_00]: So I asked myself, for a lot of this tournament, what is mama even going to make the playoff?

24:15.230 --> 24:18.452
[SPEAKER_00]: Because sometimes she never felt like the main character.

24:18.512 --> 24:22.315
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes she never felt like this is the one we're going with.

24:22.815 --> 24:25.677
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's an interesting talking point in many ways.

24:26.458 --> 24:40.267
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's an interesting talking point in the fact that when you watch these tournaments and when you watch a five-star Grand Prix, so much of the time you're asking yourself,

24:42.880 --> 24:44.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is going to be the moment?

24:44.500 --> 24:47.201
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's going to have their moment, right?

24:48.481 --> 24:55.222
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, for so much of this tournament, I never thought it was Mama Watson-Abi.

24:55.902 --> 25:02.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Even when we got to the final, I wasn't sure if it was Mama Watson-Abi.

25:03.264 --> 25:04.604
[SPEAKER_00]: But it doesn't matter.

25:04.784 --> 25:09.005
[SPEAKER_00]: All of that is useless because my God,

25:10.477 --> 25:11.977
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Momo Watanabe.

25:12.857 --> 25:18.698
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's one of those moments where you just go into your pure fandom, you forget.

25:19.439 --> 25:21.479
[SPEAKER_00]: Any thought you may have had along the way.

25:22.959 --> 25:32.421
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just asked myself, what's next?

25:33.861 --> 25:37.402
[SPEAKER_00]: I think what's next is self-explanatory.

25:37.502 --> 25:38.242
[SPEAKER_00]: What's next?

25:39.344 --> 25:44.066
[SPEAKER_00]: is Momo Watanabe challenging Saiyakamitani for the World of star perception.

25:44.306 --> 25:46.747
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, the final was fantastic.

25:46.827 --> 25:47.687
[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to say that.

25:48.728 --> 25:54.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Hurt, I mean, you know, getting that Momo A's final of all finals felt surreal in the moment.

25:55.270 --> 25:56.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was.

25:57.351 --> 25:59.752
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the fact that we got that final.

25:59.792 --> 26:04.694
[SPEAKER_00]: We got that match just incredible, just incredible.

26:06.194 --> 26:07.455
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I ask myself,

26:10.965 --> 26:15.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they know to follow through on the story?

26:15.470 --> 26:20.797
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they know to follow through on the story to tell here?

26:22.098 --> 26:25.122
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, but I hope so.

26:26.343 --> 26:28.245
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, but I think so.

26:29.311 --> 26:30.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Momo kept it pretty broad.

26:30.954 --> 26:34.580
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, champions around the world, essentially, I am looking at you.

26:35.141 --> 26:41.251
[SPEAKER_00]: And she said an interview this week that CIWGP and world of startup championship that she is eyeing.

26:42.601 --> 26:44.763
[SPEAKER_00]: it needs to be the world of star championship.

26:44.923 --> 26:48.246
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the belt that Momo Watanabe needs.

26:48.926 --> 26:51.168
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the belt that she's always said she's needed.

26:51.628 --> 26:58.534
[SPEAKER_00]: Ever since she dropped the Wonder star championship, if it's not, they miss out our story, but I don't expect them to miss out on that story.

26:58.594 --> 27:04.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I fully expect them to go through with that story, tell that story, and it's going to be incredible.

27:05.599 --> 27:09.482
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the other topic point,

27:10.871 --> 27:16.072
[SPEAKER_00]: With the moment what Tanabe is that, you just have to have an appreciation.

27:16.092 --> 27:33.115
[SPEAKER_00]: I think when it comes to having been a fan of Molo, having been a fan of Stardom, it's just something you always hope for for the one time considered soon to be ace of this promotion.

27:34.895 --> 27:40.256
[SPEAKER_00]: When she rained as an eighteen year old, what the wonder star of championship

27:42.346 --> 27:46.948
[SPEAKER_00]: She, she proved to everyone that she's capable of greatness.

27:46.968 --> 27:49.609
[SPEAKER_00]: She's capable of being your world champion since then.

27:51.950 --> 27:55.692
[SPEAKER_00]: She's consistently been one of the best wrestlers in the world.

27:55.772 --> 28:04.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I've talked to many people, whether it be friends, whether it be people who comment on these shows, people on Twitter, whatever it is.

28:04.336 --> 28:05.936
[SPEAKER_00]: I've talked to a lot of people through the years.

28:06.057 --> 28:08.818
[SPEAKER_00]: And Mama Watson Abe feels like she's always been

28:10.788 --> 28:13.770
[SPEAKER_00]: the most beloved out of the many I've talked to.

28:14.291 --> 28:29.581
[SPEAKER_00]: So, to see her have this moment, to see her climb to the mountain top and hold the crown, put on, you know, the cape, hold the trophy.

28:30.421 --> 28:31.742
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just incredible.

28:32.662 --> 28:39.407
[SPEAKER_00]: And here's the thing, I don't know if she is the one that needs to beat Saiya Kamatani.

28:40.660 --> 28:48.174
[SPEAKER_00]: But what I do know is she needs to be the one to tell this next major part of Sia Comotani story.

28:49.609 --> 28:52.510
[SPEAKER_00]: And so many moments.

28:52.850 --> 28:55.911
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this is important about the final overall, right?

28:56.311 --> 28:59.453
[SPEAKER_00]: We watched him, the conno, we watched my, we were tiny leave.

29:00.393 --> 29:01.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Start him earlier this year.

29:02.434 --> 29:10.576
[SPEAKER_00]: Two names who I would argue are the most synonymous of the past number of years with the company, right?

29:12.037 --> 29:12.197
[SPEAKER_00]: And

29:14.843 --> 29:26.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Startum decided to put their most tenured duo in the finals with Asami and Momo because if you're a long time, startum fan.

29:27.243 --> 29:29.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And you look at the new crop of stardom.

29:30.365 --> 29:35.288
[SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps, no names, you recognize more than I was in me and my wife and not Bay.

29:35.969 --> 29:49.877
[SPEAKER_00]: And to see Mama reach this pinnacle, I've only seen so many people, whether they fall out of, falling out of love with stardom or still love stardom, whatever it may be, I've seen a lot of people say, hold on.

29:50.978 --> 29:52.179
[SPEAKER_00]: Mama, mama won.

29:53.141 --> 29:54.122
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to check this out.

29:54.222 --> 29:54.982
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to see this.

29:55.402 --> 29:56.703
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to know how this goes.

29:57.264 --> 29:59.085
[SPEAKER_00]: That's who Momo Wattenabe is.

29:59.225 --> 30:01.666
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's who Momo Wattenabe has always been.

30:04.220 --> 30:06.401
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy from Momoa Tanabe.

30:06.421 --> 30:07.722
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy for her fans.

30:08.143 --> 30:08.903
[SPEAKER_00]: I am one of them.

30:09.503 --> 30:13.186
[SPEAKER_00]: And I am excited for whatever is next for her.

30:13.206 --> 30:15.307
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope she tells this story.

30:15.327 --> 30:21.011
[SPEAKER_00]: The beauty of their final was when she stopped hate from fully interfered.

30:21.071 --> 30:23.312
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, no, I got this.

30:23.552 --> 30:24.213
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing this.

30:24.233 --> 30:25.213
[SPEAKER_00]: This is in my moment.

30:25.354 --> 30:26.634
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was her moment.

30:28.175 --> 30:31.638
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that has to be the first branch.

30:32.925 --> 30:47.217
[SPEAKER_00]: to us getting to her turn, her leaving hate, her taking on Sayakamata and her being a major part of this promotion once again.

30:48.077 --> 30:57.145
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, for so much of this year, and of course for a lot of the tournament, she didn't feel like she was going to be the one, but the beautiful part about Mon Watanabe is

30:58.520 --> 31:03.082
[SPEAKER_00]: She is ready to be the one at any given moment.

31:03.863 --> 31:07.664
[SPEAKER_00]: This was an incredible moment for fans, for the wrestler, for the promotion.

31:08.045 --> 31:16.188
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's one that makes the final four months of the year for Stardom as exciting as humanly possible.

31:18.309 --> 31:22.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Momma Watson Abbey is the true heart of Stardom in the year, twenty twenty five.

31:23.332 --> 31:27.714
[SPEAKER_00]: And I cannot wait to see how it all unfold moving forward.

31:31.096 --> 31:42.185
[SPEAKER_00]: On the new side of things, be priestly and taro kata announced that B will be joining stardom on a full-time capacity moving forward.

31:42.265 --> 31:52.533
[SPEAKER_00]: So the former world of stardom champion, the former AEW and WWE wrestler, will return to stardom in a full-time capacity.

31:52.593 --> 31:54.995
[SPEAKER_00]: So that means she's likely to find a faction.

31:55.435 --> 31:59.579
[SPEAKER_00]: She's likely to find a new spot and all these different things probably win some titles.

32:00.439 --> 32:24.700
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... but she is back and she'll get to celebrate being back full time with her world of stardom championship match at stardom to the world when she goes one-on-one with sci-a-comitani the same sci-a-comitani that she defeated in singles action so that's something we look out for uh... because he's now back and

32:25.400 --> 32:27.781
[SPEAKER_00]: Be being back means she could win more.

32:28.081 --> 32:29.402
[SPEAKER_00]: She could find victories more.

32:29.842 --> 32:35.144
[SPEAKER_00]: There is an opportunity for her to really become successful again in startup.

32:35.184 --> 32:36.365
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how successful.

32:36.405 --> 32:38.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, I talked a lot.

32:38.506 --> 32:48.930
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to go back and listen to the five star daily reviews, I talked a lot about how I felt about being in the tournament her performances and so on.

32:48.990 --> 32:55.033
[SPEAKER_00]: She had some decent matches with the likes of Rina, you know, her match of style was fine, but

32:56.534 --> 33:00.495
[SPEAKER_00]: There was still a lot of bumps along the way.

33:01.516 --> 33:04.156
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see how she goes.

33:04.236 --> 33:13.939
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that she's back, now that she's going to continuously be part of this roster moving forward and hopefully it leads to success for her because hey, she's going to be around.

33:13.959 --> 33:15.500
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to have to talk about it right.

33:15.520 --> 33:16.280
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to have to watch her.

33:16.320 --> 33:19.521
[SPEAKER_00]: So at least maybe she'll fully figure out here again.

33:20.081 --> 33:24.667
[SPEAKER_00]: But that is it for the stardom side of things here on the five star.

33:24.707 --> 33:25.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe's show.

33:25.208 --> 33:27.651
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll now kick it over to Tokyo.

33:27.791 --> 33:33.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe, she pro because Tokyo, she pro held the Tokyo Princess Cup, twelve finals.

33:33.658 --> 33:37.463
[SPEAKER_00]: This past Saturday the same day as the five star grand pre files.

33:37.863 --> 33:39.025
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I said,

33:39.185 --> 33:41.506
[SPEAKER_00]: finals, I said files, finals.

33:42.127 --> 33:54.254
[SPEAKER_00]: And like I said, at the start of the show, it was a good weekend to be a Watanabe as Mio Watanabe, defeat a risuendo in the finals to stand tall.

33:54.334 --> 33:58.997
[SPEAKER_00]: And when her first ever Tokyo princess cup, this

34:00.125 --> 34:04.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Victory for me, Watanabe is obviously a major one.

34:04.907 --> 34:08.469
[SPEAKER_00]: She is, of course, the former Princess of Princess Champion from last year.

34:08.509 --> 34:13.411
[SPEAKER_00]: She was the last Princess of Princess Champion, which I think is always important as well.

34:14.231 --> 34:18.573
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks like she could be on her way to re-acquiring.

34:19.053 --> 34:26.418
[SPEAKER_00]: the championship now that she has earned her shot, the twenty-five year-old is becoming the ace in front of many.

34:26.799 --> 34:33.324
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Mazuki earlier this year at Corgan Hall in January the fourth that defeated me to win the title and her first reign.

34:33.764 --> 34:35.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that she has the title back,

34:36.738 --> 34:41.920
[SPEAKER_00]: or now that she has the opportunity to get back the title, it does feel like me who's on her way.

34:42.241 --> 34:45.382
[SPEAKER_00]: But I want to shine some light on a resuit endow here.

34:45.402 --> 34:48.463
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought a resuit endow had a great performance in this match.

34:48.523 --> 34:50.724
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was the best match of the tournament.

34:50.764 --> 35:01.169
[SPEAKER_00]: I know a lot of people loved the Mio Watanabe Shokur Nakajima match as well, which was quite good in itself, but I thought the final absolutely was the best match that I saw.

35:01.950 --> 35:04.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Watching Mio Watanabe kind of be that

35:05.231 --> 35:07.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Mountain these wrestlers need to climb.

35:07.272 --> 35:10.453
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've talked about it a few times with the past number of months.

35:10.833 --> 35:14.935
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Sariyamioka's mountain is utami high-sister, right?

35:16.276 --> 35:20.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Rina's mountain seems to be star-like kid very, very soon.

35:20.938 --> 35:23.178
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's always a certain mountain you need to climb.

35:23.198 --> 35:26.300
[SPEAKER_00]: There's always certain story you could tell by doing that.

35:26.880 --> 35:31.582
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think TJPW is moving on to the next phase of its life, you know?

35:32.242 --> 35:33.983
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously we'll talk about the news, but

35:35.413 --> 35:37.854
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the pillars aren't going to be the top anymore.

35:37.914 --> 35:39.055
[SPEAKER_00]: Shoko Nakajima.

35:39.655 --> 35:43.637
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, it's still a key part, a million marshes in and out.

35:43.978 --> 35:45.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Yukasaka Zaki has left.

35:46.399 --> 35:53.983
[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess, Rikatatsumi just kind of, you know, doesn't always get maybe the love you'd expect her to get.

35:54.203 --> 35:56.644
[SPEAKER_00]: So in terms of single success.

35:57.385 --> 36:01.527
[SPEAKER_00]: So that leaves us with me, you watch an hobby to fully take over as the new ace and help.

36:03.101 --> 36:08.443
[SPEAKER_00]: Raise up the Susan Mage, raise up the Risu and those and raise up the others around her.

36:08.543 --> 36:10.064
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the story they're telling.

36:10.104 --> 36:11.624
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the rest of what she is.

36:11.684 --> 36:14.025
[SPEAKER_00]: That is what you, Yamashita, was for so long.

36:14.425 --> 36:18.487
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, me, you, Watanabe, seems to be that for TJPW.

36:18.887 --> 36:20.227
[SPEAKER_00]: I obviously love the decision.

36:20.487 --> 36:30.931
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope that she is the one to take back the championship and I'm fascinated to see what her second reign could look like here in TJPW.

36:34.738 --> 36:44.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of more contract news in a real stunner, TJPW announced that the contract of Machi-Eto has expired.

36:44.460 --> 36:57.462
[SPEAKER_00]: Machi-Eto was the talk of the town back a few years ago between her time with a W, her time in GCW, but of course most importantly her time in TJPW.

36:58.683 --> 37:00.343
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like for a good portion

37:02.110 --> 37:08.509
[SPEAKER_00]: of the COVID years of TJPW that the story was Machito getting her moment.

37:09.781 --> 37:24.352
[SPEAKER_00]: And I still think back to the wrestle princess, twenty-twenty-one main event, Miyo Yamashita, Makito, it's to me the greatest TJPW match of all time.

37:24.833 --> 37:29.136
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an incredibly well done story and incredibly well done match.

37:29.596 --> 37:33.840
[SPEAKER_00]: And Makito ultimately still came up short to Miyo Yamashita.

37:35.165 --> 37:37.987
[SPEAKER_00]: It was there that I thought we'd pivot forward.

37:38.347 --> 37:41.749
[SPEAKER_00]: We'd move forward to Machi's going to get this done.

37:41.809 --> 37:44.231
[SPEAKER_00]: Machi's going to do finally defeat me.

37:44.271 --> 37:51.795
[SPEAKER_00]: We lost in a very, very meaningful moment and likely win the championship somewhere down the line.

37:53.016 --> 37:54.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Instead we sit here now.

37:54.217 --> 37:55.617
[SPEAKER_00]: She does not get a graduation.

37:55.677 --> 37:57.338
[SPEAKER_00]: She does not get a farewell rather.

37:58.059 --> 38:04.743
[SPEAKER_00]: She gets a post that her contract expired and she is no longer part of TJPW.

38:06.535 --> 38:10.557
[SPEAKER_00]: So you may ask yourself, what's next for Machito?

38:10.617 --> 38:16.120
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's probably the most fair question to ask because I don't think there's a perfect answer.

38:16.140 --> 38:19.142
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even argue they may not be a right answer.

38:19.762 --> 38:21.623
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what's next for Machito.

38:21.663 --> 38:25.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I think most people, myself included, do kind of maybe

38:25.945 --> 38:29.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Think America is going to be her main destination.

38:29.928 --> 38:32.309
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously it has been for the past couple of years, right?

38:32.790 --> 38:37.893
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she's done a ton of GCW dates, a ton of indie dates.

38:40.234 --> 38:46.699
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see one of the major two American promotions signing her right now.

38:46.839 --> 38:48.000
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see W sign her.

38:48.020 --> 38:49.180
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see a W sign her.

38:49.501 --> 38:51.302
[SPEAKER_00]: A W could sign her probably years ago.

38:51.402 --> 38:53.163
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see that happening.

38:54.143 --> 39:02.051
[SPEAKER_00]: So ultimately, I think she stays freelance and maybe we'll see her pop up somewhere in the Yoshi scene, which could make for an interesting case.

39:02.091 --> 39:09.479
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Machito once upon a time when she was determined to be great was great.

39:10.460 --> 39:13.303
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to sit here and say she can't be great ever again.

39:13.323 --> 39:14.404
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she could.

39:14.424 --> 39:17.167
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe that comes down to the right situation.

39:19.162 --> 39:26.866
[SPEAKER_00]: There's an interesting conversation point here if she wants to stay more Japan all of a sudden than where does she get?

39:29.428 --> 39:39.214
[SPEAKER_00]: I think all the main, I think all the main promotions that you may think of when it comes to the world of Joshi wrestling makes sense.

39:41.215 --> 39:45.237
[SPEAKER_00]: But it comes down to what's the best fit for Machito?

39:46.078 --> 39:46.378
[SPEAKER_00]: That

39:47.617 --> 39:49.278
[SPEAKER_00]: doesn't feel like an answer I have.

39:50.958 --> 39:53.479
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm excited to see whatever she does.

39:54.100 --> 39:54.840
[SPEAKER_00]: She is a name.

39:55.140 --> 40:01.183
[SPEAKER_00]: She's a popular name and she's one that I firmly believe will not be without work by any means.

40:01.203 --> 40:08.646
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a matter of how much does she still go to America and how much is the possibility of wrestling in Japan alive.

40:09.066 --> 40:11.307
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we're going to find out here soon enough.

40:13.199 --> 40:18.266
[SPEAKER_00]: I checked out the seedling anniversary show from last Friday.

40:18.286 --> 40:21.351
[SPEAKER_00]: It ultimately ended up being a pretty fun show.

40:21.611 --> 40:29.542
[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to go over to the quick things I watched, of course, the anniversary tag featuring some of the major major stars of

40:31.275 --> 40:41.502
[SPEAKER_00]: seedlings history of Tsarit, Kamiroha, Ryu Mizunami, Vinny versus Amazon, Riniamashita, the eastern Ozaki, and Miyuki Takase.

40:41.642 --> 40:47.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Found this match to be like I said, a lot of fun, quite enjoyable, Vinny getting the win.

40:47.487 --> 40:49.388
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's not too much to write home about.

40:49.408 --> 40:54.271
[SPEAKER_00]: The fun, eight woman tag, just quality wrestling,

40:55.445 --> 40:59.229
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, some of the biggest names in the seat, go ahead that.

41:00.630 --> 41:12.322
[SPEAKER_00]: But the more note were the moment was the main event in Makoto's very first event since becoming the champion of ceiling, the beyond the seat champion.

41:12.722 --> 41:13.223
[SPEAKER_00]: She lost.

41:14.462 --> 41:20.768
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, Matsumoto defeated Makoto when I thought was a very enjoyable match, very solid match.

41:21.369 --> 41:31.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been around Matsumoto getting the win, winning the beyond the seed championship for the second time in her career the first time since twenty twenty two when she held it for

41:32.279 --> 41:38.763
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was about seventy days when she and then she lost it to a recent knock-a-jima.

41:39.263 --> 41:43.186
[SPEAKER_00]: So like I said, a big shock, a big stoner here.

41:44.046 --> 41:51.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Makoto's reign ends at a swapping sixty-six days in total.

41:52.311 --> 41:55.073
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the shortest reign since

41:57.071 --> 42:06.033
[SPEAKER_00]: might be the is the shortest rain in the history of the championship beating hero Yamatsunato's first rain by four days.

42:06.414 --> 42:09.094
[SPEAKER_00]: So take that as you will.

42:09.875 --> 42:13.616
[SPEAKER_00]: It's certainly an interesting fact, but it's a fact nonetheless.

42:14.816 --> 42:18.957
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're looking to check out some matches from this show, I'd recommend these two.

42:21.220 --> 42:27.782
[SPEAKER_00]: We then had Sendagaro, Sendjo, the biggest at the ZBO Arena.

42:27.942 --> 42:30.923
[SPEAKER_00]: Sendai, a packed crowd here.

42:30.943 --> 42:41.647
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just going to go through some of the highlights from the early goings, to start like kid and Nazi boy, defeat Rika Oka and Nounagi Sayake, when I thought it was a fun little opener.

42:43.684 --> 42:46.606
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there was always potential, right?

42:47.146 --> 42:52.309
[SPEAKER_00]: With the idea of Starlight Kid and boy kind of leading the way.

42:52.529 --> 42:58.972
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it would have been a fascinating duo to have kept together, right?

42:58.992 --> 43:04.616
[SPEAKER_00]: Team mutual love as we saw when Starlight Kid was in her free agency phase.

43:05.376 --> 43:08.037
[SPEAKER_00]: But that did not work out.

43:10.617 --> 43:12.759
[SPEAKER_00]: but it was fun to see them together here.

43:13.339 --> 43:15.601
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, these two had a lot of fun, especially coming off.

43:15.721 --> 43:19.003
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the grueling five-star Grand Prix was nice to see them do that.

43:19.944 --> 43:21.545
[SPEAKER_00]: But there was unfortunate news.

43:22.646 --> 43:28.910
[SPEAKER_00]: As the next tag was about to start, Chichi and Spike Nishimura versus Monami and Sadie Gibbs.

43:28.950 --> 43:37.016
[SPEAKER_00]: Sadie Gibbs just simply was posing to the crowd on the middle rope, jumped down as anyone would.

43:37.717 --> 43:38.918
[SPEAKER_00]: And seemingly,

43:40.846 --> 44:01.197
[SPEAKER_00]: destroy her knee right before the match started it was a I saw the clip that I watched it myself and I just it's so it's nothing you know like it's a thing that she's probably done a hundred times

44:02.161 --> 44:06.784
[SPEAKER_00]: in the past like year, let alone her career, right?

44:06.824 --> 44:07.905
[SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't pose to the crowd.

44:07.945 --> 44:09.806
[SPEAKER_00]: You jumped down and you're ready for the match.

44:10.487 --> 44:11.868
[SPEAKER_00]: And she instantly dropped.

44:11.888 --> 44:13.509
[SPEAKER_00]: You could instantly see there was pain.

44:13.569 --> 44:14.490
[SPEAKER_00]: It was heartbreaking.

44:15.591 --> 44:20.934
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Sadie gives us been a highlight every time she's come over, whether it be from marvelous or sendai.

44:20.974 --> 44:21.635
[SPEAKER_00]: So seeing her

44:23.138 --> 44:27.101
[SPEAKER_00]: instantly down, having to already head back, really suck to see.

44:28.101 --> 44:32.044
[SPEAKER_00]: They did redo the match later on in the night with Eureka Okenvall.

44:32.084 --> 44:37.767
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, they still got an issue more and cheat you their spot, you know, team with Minami.

44:37.807 --> 44:41.430
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was good of them, but it was an absolute bummer.

44:42.210 --> 44:43.030
[SPEAKER_00]: for Sadie Gibbs.

44:43.070 --> 44:45.191
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish her nothing but the best that she gets better.

44:45.931 --> 44:49.732
[SPEAKER_00]: But Spike did say after the match, it's going to be sticking around.

44:49.992 --> 44:54.113
[SPEAKER_00]: So Spike, sticking with Sendai girls was very exciting.

44:54.173 --> 45:00.735
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's just going to allow Spike to develop incredibly well now that it's not just a little tour.

45:00.795 --> 45:02.955
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that it's super duper exciting.

45:02.995 --> 45:08.777
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think there is something there that you know, you can kind of grow upon, which is really cool to see.

45:09.771 --> 45:12.552
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't have these Sendai girls junior championship match.

45:12.692 --> 45:15.434
[SPEAKER_00]: It was unit versus Iosacro once again.

45:16.014 --> 45:22.057
[SPEAKER_00]: If you saw it once, you saw twice, maybe thrice, maybe twelve times, maybe a hundred.

45:24.078 --> 45:26.239
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're doing it one more time.

45:26.259 --> 45:27.999
[SPEAKER_00]: And this time was

45:30.412 --> 45:30.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Fine.

45:31.252 --> 45:33.213
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I've seen them wrestle so many times.

45:33.273 --> 45:40.195
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there is only so many levels to the matches that they can have to the creativity they can pull off.

45:40.635 --> 45:46.816
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was a fine match to ultimately finally give you in a her moment in the ring.

45:47.097 --> 45:53.338
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was kind of awesome to see have her moment in Sendai win the belt.

45:54.038 --> 45:55.759
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of what it's all about.

45:57.004 --> 45:58.088
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's what it's all about.

45:58.108 --> 46:00.114
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm very happy for you now.

46:00.475 --> 46:02.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously she is the Sendag girl's rookie.

46:03.771 --> 46:07.972
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I as Sakura is freed up to do some more stuff.

46:08.032 --> 46:15.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether that be coming back to Sendai and kind of jumping into some tags, or of course, hopefully more work in startup.

46:15.794 --> 46:16.934
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we're all hoping for.

46:16.954 --> 46:18.074
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we're all asking for.

46:18.594 --> 46:19.995
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm hoping for, at least.

46:20.035 --> 46:24.036
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully that frees her up, but it was a fun little run that she had.

46:24.056 --> 46:26.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish you got to chat or let me refresh.

46:26.696 --> 46:33.278
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish you got to defend a bit more against some other wrestlers, but congrats to Yuna on finally winning the belt.

46:34.418 --> 46:38.641
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'll talk about the big three matches started with the hardcore match.

46:39.481 --> 46:46.044
[SPEAKER_00]: The hardcore match was a ton of fun, super scary, kind of everything you'd expect from the match.

46:47.105 --> 46:52.948
[SPEAKER_00]: Hazuki feels like a different person in these matches.

46:52.988 --> 46:56.510
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we've talked about that the last time she had the hardcore match with

46:57.621 --> 47:20.421
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... dash to socko fast forward or a team in the resurgence dash and azure con and that is much of the same she took a lot of the punishment she took a lot of the pain but she felt more alive more energized and she has in quite some time and i absolutely love that you know for a lot of people mobile getting that five star moment was their most hopeful moment

47:23.613 --> 47:30.401
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, I think my hope most hope for a moment in a start and ring would be a Zuki finally holding that wonder starting championship.

47:30.561 --> 47:31.703
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I'm ever getting it.

47:33.141 --> 47:34.462
[SPEAKER_00]: But boy, boy, would it be nice?

47:34.482 --> 47:37.583
[SPEAKER_00]: That took a crazy fall.

47:37.623 --> 47:41.604
[SPEAKER_00]: Recessaire dumped her from the top of the ladder through the, through the table outside.

47:42.085 --> 47:43.245
[SPEAKER_00]: That was terrifying.

47:43.445 --> 47:44.746
[SPEAKER_00]: What a spot that was.

47:45.746 --> 47:53.189
[SPEAKER_00]: But the most nasty spot was that was Suzuki being placed on a table in the middle of the ring.

47:53.789 --> 47:57.391
[SPEAKER_00]: Azure Kong climbs up one ladder, dash climbs up another.

47:57.891 --> 48:00.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Azure jumps off with a big time.

48:01.092 --> 48:02.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Big time.

48:02.753 --> 48:10.236
[SPEAKER_00]: Elbow dropped right through his zucchini dash was doing a stomp at the same time, terrifying spot.

48:10.536 --> 48:14.957
[SPEAKER_00]: And that wasn't even the finish dash of fall up with their signature splash.

48:15.398 --> 48:17.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Two pin-hazuki, two-in-the-art core match.

48:17.999 --> 48:22.280
[SPEAKER_00]: This match, like I said, was a ton of fun, super physical.

48:22.741 --> 48:28.523
[SPEAKER_00]: Hazuki was out there to take a lot of the brunt of it and my god did she, but she didn't.

48:29.623 --> 48:32.284
[SPEAKER_00]: She certainly didn't leave anything out.

48:32.444 --> 48:35.624
[SPEAKER_00]: She put everything she could into this match.

48:36.024 --> 48:38.665
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we all greatly appreciate the effort.

48:39.625 --> 48:48.587
[SPEAKER_00]: In the semi-main event, it was a one-on-one affair between Mikawa and the IWGP woman's champion, Saori.

48:49.647 --> 48:54.208
[SPEAKER_00]: These two matches, or Leonir's face, these matches aren't made to go wrong.

48:54.668 --> 48:57.269
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, when Saori in a lot of share the ring,

48:58.225 --> 49:01.927
[SPEAKER_00]: They share the ring to destroy each other and move on.

49:02.047 --> 49:05.928
[SPEAKER_00]: They share the ring to decimate one another and move on.

49:06.128 --> 49:10.010
[SPEAKER_00]: And boy, boy, that's what they did for about nine to ten minutes.

49:10.230 --> 49:16.633
[SPEAKER_00]: These two through bombs and nothing but a water hitting some of the best kicks she said all year.

49:17.653 --> 49:21.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, hitting some nasty forums along the way, right?

49:21.035 --> 49:27.480
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is a story, of course, coming off the IWGP title defense that day before and entire five star, a lot of knew that.

49:27.680 --> 49:29.541
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of knew that and went into the match.

49:30.042 --> 49:34.745
[SPEAKER_00]: Very aggressive, very combative, very much physical.

49:36.166 --> 49:42.771
[SPEAKER_00]: And all she could show for it was a big L. Um, uh, sorry, caught her with the big time.

49:42.811 --> 49:44.332
[SPEAKER_00]: You're a naggy at one spot.

49:44.812 --> 49:46.754
[SPEAKER_00]: She then hit her with another

49:47.754 --> 49:51.237
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you're a Nagi, which she was able to kick out of.

49:51.277 --> 49:55.981
[SPEAKER_00]: She hit her with the head butt, and then of course, an arm trap, you're a Nagi for the win.

49:56.501 --> 49:58.523
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, this match was super good.

49:58.583 --> 50:08.691
[SPEAKER_00]: If you give this another three, four, five, um, maybe it's even better, but it's an incredible sprint between the two, something that I think only those two really can do.

50:08.791 --> 50:11.152
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's hard to fit, I think.

50:11.953 --> 50:15.115
[SPEAKER_00]: So much into a sprint, but these two nail it every time.

50:15.135 --> 50:16.636
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the second time we've done it.

50:17.057 --> 50:19.599
[SPEAKER_00]: They just know what they're going for and they crush it.

50:20.219 --> 50:21.700
[SPEAKER_00]: I recommend both of these matches.

50:21.800 --> 50:23.241
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely recommend the singles.

50:23.301 --> 50:25.903
[SPEAKER_00]: It's short, but I definitely recommend the hardcore as well.

50:26.003 --> 50:29.246
[SPEAKER_00]: See Hazuki living out there.

50:29.306 --> 50:31.027
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an absolute treat to watch.

50:33.372 --> 50:42.536
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, your main event to is Lane Across and Vennie Challenging, you and Chihiro Hashimoto for the Sendai Girl's World Tag Team Championships.

50:42.556 --> 50:44.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, this match was awesome.

50:45.229 --> 50:47.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Lane of Cross is awesome.

50:47.750 --> 50:49.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Venny is awesome.

50:49.350 --> 50:56.153
[SPEAKER_00]: Teen to hundreds of kilograms is awesome, but Venny and Lane of Cross both had incredible performances.

50:57.093 --> 51:01.355
[SPEAKER_00]: I love anytime anyone gives Venny a big spot.

51:01.815 --> 51:08.237
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't happen enough in the world of wrestling, but anytime it does, she absolutely crushes it.

51:08.677 --> 51:13.899
[SPEAKER_00]: If Venny is wrestling at her top ability, she is going to be the best wrestler in that match.

51:14.299 --> 51:16.862
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how she works, and that is what she did here.

51:17.183 --> 51:22.029
[SPEAKER_00]: She took the punishment from you, she took the punishment from Hosh, but she dished it out as well.

51:22.410 --> 51:29.699
[SPEAKER_00]: This was many at the top of her game, absolutely crushing it, absolutely thriving, because that's what she does.

51:30.079 --> 51:32.422
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the other hand, Elena Cross, Elena Cross,

51:33.203 --> 51:49.678
[SPEAKER_00]: From the first time she stepped into Sendai girls to now has completely developed into this undeniable, must-find wrestler for any promotion that has any consideration for women's professional wrestling.

51:50.840 --> 51:52.081
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want her going anywhere.

51:52.281 --> 51:55.323
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say that first and foremost, I don't want her leaving send out yours.

51:55.503 --> 51:58.445
[SPEAKER_00]: I want her to stay here because she's fantastic.

51:58.845 --> 52:02.927
[SPEAKER_00]: She is a star in the making, but I understand how these things work.

52:03.007 --> 52:05.009
[SPEAKER_00]: She is a star and that's going to be someone

52:05.809 --> 52:07.570
[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to be someone that people are going to want to sign.

52:08.210 --> 52:09.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Her and venue are great duo.

52:09.811 --> 52:15.674
[SPEAKER_00]: They're great dynamic duo that's and that girls put together last year fast forward to this year and they're still great.

52:16.574 --> 52:18.675
[SPEAKER_00]: On the other side, you've got a team two hundred kilograms.

52:18.735 --> 52:21.977
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how much more I could say about them that hasn't been said already.

52:22.317 --> 52:22.477
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

52:22.497 --> 52:23.978
[SPEAKER_00]: We are on their retirement road.

52:25.039 --> 52:28.360
[SPEAKER_00]: You will be retiring at the end of this year.

52:28.680 --> 52:29.901
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are kind of just

52:32.050 --> 52:40.958
[SPEAKER_00]: embracing that rather than, you know, hoshes the world champion, though we do have a challenger, which we'll talk about here in a second.

52:41.478 --> 52:43.260
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think for me,

52:44.808 --> 52:47.869
[SPEAKER_00]: This match had everything you'd want from a tag team title management.

52:48.309 --> 52:49.369
[SPEAKER_00]: It had the craziness.

52:49.429 --> 52:50.810
[SPEAKER_00]: It had the big hits.

52:50.890 --> 52:51.970
[SPEAKER_00]: It had the big strikes.

52:52.030 --> 52:53.031
[SPEAKER_00]: It had the big moves.

52:53.411 --> 52:58.352
[SPEAKER_00]: It had a little bit of everything that you could ask for from all four competitors.

52:58.812 --> 53:04.814
[SPEAKER_00]: Lane across, like I said, was probably the star of the closing stretch and then it was the star of the first half.

53:05.375 --> 53:06.255
[SPEAKER_00]: These two crushed it.

53:06.995 --> 53:08.716
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a great match.

53:08.856 --> 53:11.618
[SPEAKER_00]: One of my favorite matches that I watched all week long.

53:11.938 --> 53:16.121
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I'm very busy nowadays, so I only get to watch really the Joe she's stuff.

53:17.482 --> 53:18.162
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was awesome.

53:18.843 --> 53:19.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Well worth my time.

53:19.983 --> 53:20.884
[SPEAKER_00]: Well worth your time.

53:20.924 --> 53:22.285
[SPEAKER_00]: Go check it out on wrestling universe.

53:23.165 --> 53:24.586
[SPEAKER_00]: But after the match, it's worth noting me.

53:24.606 --> 53:29.329
[SPEAKER_00]: You could want to did challenge Hashimoto for the Sunday Girls World Championship.

53:29.369 --> 53:32.471
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know when that's going to happen, but it'll be happening soon.

53:33.032 --> 53:35.233
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm greatly looking forward to it.

53:37.182 --> 53:42.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's quickly take a look at Marigold here before we get out of here for the week.

53:42.906 --> 53:54.693
[SPEAKER_00]: Marigold, of course, had the homecoming show of Go Chica, which we'll talk a little bit more about here, but they also had two tournament matches, Coke and Marigold, if you need to.

53:54.773 --> 53:59.556
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to, you can go check out my full review of these two tournament matches over.

54:00.853 --> 54:05.176
[SPEAKER_00]: on the day seven edition of the Dream Star Daily series.

54:05.196 --> 54:06.697
[SPEAKER_00]: I really love doing it.

54:06.937 --> 54:08.318
[SPEAKER_00]: I really had a good time doing it.

54:08.338 --> 54:11.700
[SPEAKER_00]: So please, please, please, please, please, please, please go check that out.

54:14.081 --> 54:17.063
[SPEAKER_00]: The other match, of course, was Utami versus Maria.

54:17.183 --> 54:19.584
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want those reviews, you can go check that out.

54:19.624 --> 54:28.590
[SPEAKER_00]: But since this is a five-star Josie show, we can still talk more about the Mayu versus Go Cheekamatch.

54:29.190 --> 54:32.112
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was everything I hoped it would be.

54:32.472 --> 54:34.574
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, we were telling a story here.

54:34.614 --> 54:41.598
[SPEAKER_00]: We were moving forward with the idea of my you being the mountain for so many of these wrestlers to climb.

54:42.138 --> 54:48.663
[SPEAKER_00]: And for Go Chica, this felt like step one in a journey of trying to overcome, right?

54:48.923 --> 54:53.686
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the past year that Go Chica has had, it's been truly, truly impressive.

54:54.787 --> 54:58.109
[SPEAKER_00]: She has developed, she has learned, and she has grown.

54:59.195 --> 55:16.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, grown in so many ways that I think kind of are incredibly impressive to look back on because this time last year, you know, she was showing some nice signs in the tournament, but overall is like, okay, she's got a ways to go.

55:17.770 --> 55:22.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Now fast forward to one year later, she's facing the icon, the greatest of all time, my debut, Tony.

55:23.353 --> 55:27.876
[SPEAKER_00]: And she is doing everything she can to be the ultimate baby face underdog.

55:27.976 --> 55:31.218
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's doing so well at it.

55:32.119 --> 55:36.241
[SPEAKER_00]: I think when I watch Go Cheek, I'm left with nothing but praise.

55:36.862 --> 55:43.205
[SPEAKER_00]: I left with nothing but praise because she is truly an incredible wrestler who's getting there more and more each day.

55:43.506 --> 55:47.308
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no wrestler who shows the work match in and match out more than her.

55:47.708 --> 55:50.933
[SPEAKER_00]: You could tell she's fallen in love with professional wrestling and that's a beautiful thing.

55:51.373 --> 55:53.035
[SPEAKER_00]: Maya, we were trying to play to the crowd.

55:53.095 --> 55:59.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Maya, we were trying to play to the go cheek of it all and it made for such a fun main event.

56:01.006 --> 56:01.687
[SPEAKER_00]: I recommend it.

56:01.867 --> 56:03.950
[SPEAKER_00]: I do and the crowd was so, so

56:05.692 --> 56:07.972
[SPEAKER_00]: So behind go cheeko is amazing.

56:08.593 --> 56:14.454
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to watch the post match too when the song plays and they all do the go cheeko chant.

56:14.634 --> 56:15.354
[SPEAKER_00]: It's incredible.

56:15.634 --> 56:16.234
[SPEAKER_00]: It really is.

56:16.454 --> 56:18.814
[SPEAKER_00]: I absolutely love this match.

56:19.254 --> 56:21.415
[SPEAKER_00]: I absolutely love these homecoming shows.

56:21.555 --> 56:22.935
[SPEAKER_00]: I love these homecoming main events.

56:23.315 --> 56:25.375
[SPEAKER_00]: I love what my use willing to give to her.

56:25.835 --> 56:28.596
[SPEAKER_00]: And the next time they face off, it's going to be really special.

56:28.616 --> 56:31.976
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like just the start of something here.

56:32.157 --> 56:34.617
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's why I want to bring up one more.

56:38.170 --> 56:39.771
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's take a preview.

56:39.791 --> 56:42.292
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll preview the big quirk in this weekend.

56:42.332 --> 56:49.836
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't always do previews for tournament shows, but this weekend is a big one.

56:50.117 --> 56:55.660
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's only right that we preview the big four matches.

56:56.220 --> 56:59.342
[SPEAKER_00]: So here on the Star League side, we're going to do the top

57:00.002 --> 57:00.622
[SPEAKER_00]: two matches.

57:01.182 --> 57:07.304
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to preview the top two matches from each league, but first on the star league side, you'll also have Kazuna Tanaka versus Misa Matsui.

57:07.344 --> 57:08.864
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that could be a fun little match.

57:09.284 --> 57:15.265
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if she could go out versus Nikes and Ozaki could perhaps a perfect match for the big upset.

57:15.865 --> 57:24.787
[SPEAKER_00]: And here, of course, you have Mikuano wrestling for the first time since the very first match, very first show of this tournament.

57:25.087 --> 57:27.988
[SPEAKER_00]: And she goes one on one with Chan Yoda.

57:28.488 --> 57:32.711
[SPEAKER_00]: That is something I am so incredibly excited for.

57:33.252 --> 57:41.138
[SPEAKER_00]: Something that I can't wait for because this is Miku's turn.

57:43.239 --> 57:44.180
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't shake it.

57:44.920 --> 57:45.301
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't.

57:45.541 --> 57:46.982
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Miku's turn.

57:47.402 --> 57:50.224
[SPEAKER_00]: She currently sits at one total point.

57:50.725 --> 57:54.508
[SPEAKER_00]: She lost two Misa Matsui and she drew against Morai.

57:56.188 --> 57:57.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the time she gets going.

57:57.930 --> 58:01.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Now is the time she locks in and starts picking up W's.

58:03.097 --> 58:03.897
[SPEAKER_00]: and it starts here.

58:04.477 --> 58:06.818
[SPEAKER_00]: It starts here with the star league.

58:06.918 --> 58:19.961
[SPEAKER_00]: It starts here with a match that I think can shock a lot of people and be one of those great matches that maybe you're not expecting because I think Chan Yoda and I think Mikuano, their skill sets were perfectly with one another.

58:20.321 --> 58:21.441
[SPEAKER_00]: This match should be awesome.

58:21.481 --> 58:22.241
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to it.

58:22.261 --> 58:28.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, on Saturday, rest of the universe, I believe it goes live at like ten thirty Eastern on Friday night.

58:28.543 --> 58:30.243
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely check that out.

58:30.583 --> 58:36.064
[SPEAKER_00]: The other Star League match where it previewing is a big one, Marae Saku, go face to face.

58:36.464 --> 58:41.125
[SPEAKER_00]: It will be my Sakurai versus Marae, Dreamstock, or I'm pretty.

58:41.205 --> 58:42.185
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a big one.

58:43.665 --> 58:48.206
[SPEAKER_00]: Marae hasn't had the tournament, maybe myself and others might have expected.

58:48.246 --> 58:49.866
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she had the draw to make you want to know.

58:50.427 --> 58:51.127
[SPEAKER_00]: That was fine.

58:51.807 --> 58:54.667
[SPEAKER_00]: She beat, she could go out, but she lost in the Eastern Nozaki.

58:54.947 --> 58:58.488
[SPEAKER_00]: She hasn't made the splash you expect from Marae.

59:00.027 --> 59:04.811
[SPEAKER_00]: My Sakurai, however, has kind of powered through her tournament.

59:06.332 --> 59:08.794
[SPEAKER_00]: She's gone through five matches already.

59:08.834 --> 59:09.915
[SPEAKER_00]: This is her sixth.

59:10.335 --> 59:13.458
[SPEAKER_00]: Her last one will come on the final night against Mikuano.

59:14.459 --> 59:17.361
[SPEAKER_00]: So far for my Sakurai, she has a win over Chika Goto.

59:17.842 --> 59:19.843
[SPEAKER_00]: She has a win over Kazunatenaka.

59:20.164 --> 59:25.288
[SPEAKER_00]: She has a win over Negisunazaki, but she has lost to both Misa Matsui and Chen Yoda.

59:25.528 --> 59:26.629
[SPEAKER_00]: That kind of puts this one up.

59:28.374 --> 59:31.395
[SPEAKER_00]: To question of who walks out with the win.

59:33.635 --> 59:42.657
[SPEAKER_00]: My soccer, I think, can still easily be in the conversation with six points on the final night, but can she fully be in that conversation?

59:43.217 --> 59:53.979
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a win here for my soccer is definitely on the table to make her a serious contender come to the final night, especially facing Mikuano, but it also feels like a match that Marae needs to win.

59:54.759 --> 59:56.061
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know which way we go.

59:56.781 --> 01:00:04.370
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, I think my soccer eye pulls off the win as the United National Champion, but it's a match that I'm really looking forward to.

01:00:04.410 --> 01:00:07.653
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of those ones you kind of circle because it is Mariah.

01:00:07.873 --> 01:00:11.878
[SPEAKER_00]: It is Mariah Saku going head to head should be a blast.

01:00:13.886 --> 01:00:15.687
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the dream league side.

01:00:15.787 --> 01:00:18.148
[SPEAKER_00]: So besides the two matches, we'll give a little preview too.

01:00:18.189 --> 01:00:20.630
[SPEAKER_00]: You have Ris Seto versus Chiyaki.

01:00:20.730 --> 01:00:25.633
[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll have, of course, the darkness revolution facing off.

01:00:26.113 --> 01:00:34.358
[SPEAKER_00]: You also have Victoria Azuki versus Maria, originally this is supposed to be Victoria Azuki versus Sankha Kati, Maria instead steps in to do it.

01:00:34.658 --> 01:00:41.282
[SPEAKER_00]: So good continuation of the Mario old marvelous feud for anyone interested in that.

01:00:42.903 --> 01:00:43.043
[SPEAKER_00]: So

01:00:45.152 --> 01:00:47.474
[SPEAKER_00]: You have Kokimari versus Suriyamioka.

01:00:47.534 --> 01:00:50.117
[SPEAKER_00]: I find this match to be a massive match.

01:00:50.778 --> 01:00:54.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Kokimari against Victoria Zuki got some momentum back on her side.

01:00:55.002 --> 01:00:57.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only did she win, but she had her best performance so far.

01:00:57.925 --> 01:01:07.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Now she steps into the ring with the super rookie, the super rookie who mind you is coming off two major losses, one to Victoria Zuki and one to Tommy Heishisha.

01:01:09.874 --> 01:01:12.636
[SPEAKER_00]: This feels like a must win for both wrestlers.

01:01:13.156 --> 01:01:14.417
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of them are two and two.

01:01:14.898 --> 01:01:20.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of them are considered possibilities for the final in the Dream League.

01:01:22.243 --> 01:01:25.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Whoever wins this match could have the inside track to that.

01:01:26.627 --> 01:01:28.148
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a major major match.

01:01:28.688 --> 01:01:29.569
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's won that.

01:01:31.247 --> 01:01:36.715
[SPEAKER_00]: If I had to guess, if I had to predict, I think Siriyamioka walks out with the victory.

01:01:37.096 --> 01:01:44.908
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Siriyamioka gained a big win in Corrican Hall to get right back into the conversation in the dream league is very important.

01:01:44.928 --> 01:01:46.010
[SPEAKER_00]: She sits at four points.

01:01:47.495 --> 01:01:48.716
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she gets to six.

01:01:49.276 --> 01:01:51.198
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm fascinated to see how this match goes.

01:01:52.058 --> 01:01:56.061
[SPEAKER_00]: Yamioka has been having an incredible tournament in terms of match quality.

01:01:56.442 --> 01:01:58.863
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see what her and Koki can put together.

01:01:59.384 --> 01:02:01.165
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the ultimate test for each of them.

01:02:02.595 --> 01:02:08.139
[SPEAKER_00]: And then what will undoubtedly be your main event of the evening, it does not get better than this folks.

01:02:08.600 --> 01:02:16.065
[SPEAKER_00]: For the first time in a very long time, it'll be utamihaishista versus mayu-eutani.

01:02:16.126 --> 01:02:21.169
[SPEAKER_00]: The marigold world champion versus the icon, the superfly champion,

01:02:22.175 --> 01:02:25.239
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't be more excited for this one.

01:02:41.778 --> 01:02:43.780
[SPEAKER_00]: Their chemistry is off their charts.

01:02:44.221 --> 01:02:55.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Their chemistry has, in my opinion, consistently been among the best matches over the past five years in Yoshi.

01:02:56.032 --> 01:03:01.638
[SPEAKER_00]: In terms of an underrated rivalry, where they bring the best out of each other, that's what this is.

01:03:02.058 --> 01:03:05.822
[SPEAKER_00]: You're putting my Uriutani in a crew, a quirk and hall main event,

01:03:06.182 --> 01:03:15.384
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, someone in the Tommy High Shista who I think has turned to that corner to really finding her confidence and just truly being great.

01:03:15.944 --> 01:03:17.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Each match in and out.

01:03:19.405 --> 01:03:21.105
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, Tommy sits at the top.

01:03:21.185 --> 01:03:22.886
[SPEAKER_00]: She is four and one.

01:03:24.306 --> 01:03:27.987
[SPEAKER_00]: She has this match and her final match against Cookie and Mara on the final night.

01:03:28.007 --> 01:03:28.927
[SPEAKER_00]: She has eight points.

01:03:29.747 --> 01:03:31.588
[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite Tony is two and one.

01:03:32.485 --> 01:03:38.527
[SPEAKER_00]: with Wind over Assetto Maria, of course, and the Lost to Seria, Mioka.

01:03:39.367 --> 01:03:41.928
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a Mayu-Iutani victory.

01:03:42.428 --> 01:03:45.349
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is going to be your match of the tournament.

01:03:45.949 --> 01:03:50.350
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is going to be everything that people have been wanting from the dream star.

01:03:50.730 --> 01:03:55.151
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the dream star is kind of been a slow build to this show.

01:03:55.731 --> 01:04:00.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you had the big opening night, but otherwise, it's been two matches here, two matches there.

01:04:01.353 --> 01:04:04.134
[SPEAKER_00]: This match has all the potential to be truly incredible.

01:04:04.475 --> 01:04:08.397
[SPEAKER_00]: This match has all the potential to be the best match of the tournament.

01:04:08.677 --> 01:04:14.099
[SPEAKER_00]: This match has all the potential to be the best match of tournament season and so on and so forth.

01:04:14.580 --> 01:04:16.901
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so excited for this main event.

01:04:17.281 --> 01:04:20.563
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so excited for the potential of this main event.

01:04:21.043 --> 01:04:27.126
[SPEAKER_00]: It's as good as it gets you got to watch the cork and the cork is going to be an incredible incredible show.

01:04:27.586 --> 01:04:28.967
[SPEAKER_00]: But we don't stop there.

01:04:29.647 --> 01:04:35.642
[SPEAKER_00]: The schedule for the dream start continues on Tuesday of next week on the second.

01:04:35.742 --> 01:04:36.564
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that a Tuesday?

01:04:37.375 --> 01:04:39.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, on the Tuesday, they had to shunjuku face.

01:04:40.837 --> 01:04:43.478
[SPEAKER_00]: Shunjuku face features the following matches.

01:04:43.858 --> 01:04:48.140
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll have Victoria Yuzuki versus Ria Settel.

01:04:48.340 --> 01:04:49.760
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a rival rematch.

01:04:49.820 --> 01:04:55.843
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, Settel made her turn and joined darkness revolution because of Victoria Yuzuki.

01:04:56.243 --> 01:04:57.684
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a big time match.

01:04:58.064 --> 01:05:01.306
[SPEAKER_00]: As you saw previously, you have Chica Goto versus Chan Yota.

01:05:01.626 --> 01:05:04.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Yosav Mikuano versus Kazuna Tanaka.

01:05:04.967 --> 01:05:08.908
[SPEAKER_00]: And, of course, you have Sariyama Yoka versus Maria.

01:05:08.948 --> 01:05:13.889
[SPEAKER_00]: That was originally supposed to be Sariyama Yoka versus Sanka Katsuki, the long awaited singles match.

01:05:14.450 --> 01:05:15.130
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll not happen.

01:05:15.150 --> 01:05:20.591
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll happen at a later time, but I think this card hasn't a very important main event nonetheless.

01:05:20.691 --> 01:05:24.412
[SPEAKER_00]: It will be Mayu Yutani against Koki Amara.

01:05:25.272 --> 01:05:27.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Koki Amara is a biggest match.

01:05:28.712 --> 01:05:29.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you prove it?

01:05:29.634 --> 01:05:32.659
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you show it against my you?

01:05:33.200 --> 01:05:33.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

01:05:33.922 --> 01:05:39.472
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone looks to the match last year against Mariah as kind of the turning point for Koki.

01:05:41.382 --> 01:05:46.226
[SPEAKER_00]: This match is going to try and serve as the same exact beast.

01:05:47.067 --> 01:05:51.891
[SPEAKER_00]: This match takes place on September, second, action jiu-gu face.

01:05:51.931 --> 01:05:53.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I always love a good Shinjiu-gu face show.

01:05:54.373 --> 01:05:55.674
[SPEAKER_00]: I absolutely can't wait.

01:05:56.014 --> 01:05:57.416
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be terrific.

01:05:57.656 --> 01:05:59.297
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be one you want to watch.

01:05:59.798 --> 01:06:05.843
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely make sure you check that out on Tuesday.

01:06:06.604 --> 01:06:08.504
[SPEAKER_00]: But that is it from me folks.

01:06:08.584 --> 01:06:10.025
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you everyone for listening.

01:06:19.787 --> 01:06:21.728
[SPEAKER_00]: But thank you for listening.
