• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're listening to the Emerald Flow Show on the voices of Wrestling Podcast Network.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Emerald Flowshow.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are a podcast on the voices of wrestling network.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And as you may have figured out by me doing the intro rather than the art, is this is actually going to be a solo show.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, the art is not feeling well right now.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I kind of just want to put something out.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So instead of just going out and looking for a guest house, I decided to just...
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: put out some solo audio because it's been a while since we've done an episode and I think I think it's good to just put something out because otherwise there's just more stuff that will just accumulate on our plate so you're going to listen to me kind of ramble on for like the next hour hour and a half we'll see how long this goes
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: First things first though there's a few points so unfortunately and this really just broke a couple hours ago before I hit record is that we got the unfortunate news that Joe Doring has passed away from long running battle with brain cancer
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this is obviously devastating news.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Joe was such a kind of...
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Amazing part of like Japanese wrestling for so many years and like him fighting on against cancer for so many years and actually managing to come like the first time He got cancer.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: He actually managed to come back to like have like a career again, which is amazing But I don't even want to go too far into kind of
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: talking about Joe at this point to be honest, because I talked to Gerard and basically once he feels better, we are going to record a special on just Joe Doring.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we are going to go much more in depth of Joe Doring and kind of like his running all Japan, what it all meant at the time, what it all meant kind of long term as well and like what is impact was and just
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, kind of look forward to that, whenever we're going to record that, probably, like, we'll see, like, probably, like, next week or at some point soon, definitely.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then the other note is that,
• 4:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Rio Innoe has been injured.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: He suffered a knee injury that I don't think it's quite late how long it's actually going to keep him out, but that's obviously very, very unfortunate timing because he really was a guy that was just starting to kind of really break out this year.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this kind of really, really derails his momentum kind of like probably not too bad.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he is still insanely talented, he is still insanely young, so like, unless there's like the injury like massively limits his mobility going forward.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it really will like, mathematically derail his career.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it is nevertheless like very, very unfortunate timing on this.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then, as well, another unfortunate injury news is that he Carl Sato kind of suffered a head injury in his match with Masato Tanaka for the G.C.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hartcott title and had to go to the hospital.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: and it's very much seems that it careers in serious jeopardy because it was revealed later that he apparently suffered a stroke while in hospital so it very much is up in the air whether or not he will be able to return to the ring and I think even if he's ever able to return to the ring it's going to be a long time until we see him again but just given how long he's been wrestling
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this match with the knocker really might have been the last time we've ever seen him in the ring as sad as that is so
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, we will wait a little bit more until we talk about this career more as a whole until it becomes more clear whether or not he is actually fully retired or not.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that's just another unfortunate kind of in-renews.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So another thing, because of those kind of
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: having not recorded for a while is that there's just a lot of stuff piled up.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So when we did do a recording right, we did the whole special recording talking about kind of cyborage and being a part of the being a part owner of New Japan now and kind of what the potentially all means for like no one like the wider like wrestling escape as a whole but we haven't really
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: a classical, like a mode flow show episode in a while where we just kind of go over a bunch of visions shows that have happened and kind of like talk about the mattress there.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So there's just an insanely long pile of stuff that has piled up there now, and to be quite honest,
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think anybody here wants to listen to me kind of go over like houseroom matches from like a month ago So I'm just kind of going to be kind of I'm going to be talking more broadly
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: about some of these shows or some general trends that I saw from that, especially as it pertains to the new global tag league matches.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they really were any kind of really majorist and out matches during the tournament that I think really require me of having to really go in
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: depth on it.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just kind of going to talk about more generally about like the different themes that were in the tournament and kind of how I kind of perceived them during the tournament.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Canada is going to go kind of like, like basically I'm just going to go top the bottom kind of on the final standings of the group stage and go with group alien and
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, the good brothers, Kalana's and Doc Gallos.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, I thought these two guys, like, I thought they actually worked hard.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought they actually put any effort, which I did not expect them to do, especially because this was just such a like house show tour, which is, I fully expect them to just kind of dog it most of the way, but I don't think they really did.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: target during the tournament, like I don't think they were like a blow away or anything like that, but I did think they actually kind of really try to entertain people during their matches.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It seems that they run us over after the final, but who knows?
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like this version of the good brothers I wouldn't be opposed to bringing back.
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: even if it is more like if it is on a limited run basis like this right like I think they waited at it where they like brought them in briefly at the beginning of the year and then they brought them back for like they brought them back like a couple of times and they brought them back for like this tournament where like each time I think they actually just you know acquainted themselves well A is a good use of them
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I wouldn't like if it's on this place it's like I don't really want them to be there for like an entire year straight.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they would even want to be there for that long.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think just bringing them in for limited runs like this I think is a good idea and maybe they're going to keep doing that going forward but yeah, we'll see.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tetsuya Naito and Bouchi, it was kind of rough like Naito is just done, which means that Bouchi has to carry the vast majority of kind of the in-ring work, like it has been a general issue kind of doing this run, but Bouchi is not bad, but it's also not great, and he's definitely not the guy that you want to be like carrying the majority of the work in your matches, and
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: something that I did like about this team though is that I think they're leaning a lot more into kind of being healers basically.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're really out and out heals, but I definitely like leaning a lot more healers than they were early and around because they are also getting food.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like people don't really like it's really just like it's a new Japan
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a nudist pan nostalgia run that like it just doesn't really or it's a nudist pan nostalgia act that really only works as a nostalgia act a nudist pan like no offense just aren't going to react to it in the same way that nudist pan fans will and I think if finally kind of realize that that's what's happening so they are leaning a lot more into like
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, being assholes as well, like in kind of more into being outside us, they'd have to come into this promotion and they're gonna show them that they're better than everybody because they're like new Japan guys or whatever or used to be new Japan guys.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think that kind of act is working a lot better because it's not like they're massively cheating heels, outside of, you know, like, Boo, she's bringing a missed and all of that.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: like the kind of just unlikable assholes.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that actually works pretty well.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just that the actually in ringwork is just rough and it's really nothing not much you can do there.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: But them kind of refining the act has actually helped them act just at least a little bit.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tetsuo and I had to be quite frank, completely forgettable.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you had told me that they actually hadn't been in the tournament, I would believe you because I struggled to really calm up with really just about anything that they've done during the tournament, just kind of very much like nothing team.
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Masakita Mia and Takashi Sugura.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's such a frustrating team, basically, because you know these, there are the bones of a great tag to me, right?
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if they do actually, like the actually wrestling parts of the mattress, I was still a great.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just that it's just marked by like, team 2000 expulsions, and it just keeps what could be great matches to just good matches, basically.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's a very frustrating team.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: The like-house gym of kid-like-house and kid-like-house too did definitely try it.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will give them that.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kid-like-house is a bit up and down there.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's never really, has been a guy that really has managed to find a high level of consistency or really find a lot of good ways of like,
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: basically finding a good match structure that isn't just kind of doing shit.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, but they definitely did try it.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: It definitely were like, again, I think actually like once you're kind of new in a country as well, I think this kind of style of just doing shit actually works still works quite well because you're still trying to get over.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they definitely were trying to like get themselves over and maybe get themselves more bookings in the future.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: if that'll work for them, who knows, but they at least they try, so that's something.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ketu Kiyomiya and Harutoki slash Alejandro, so in this case Alejandro, Gagendrit, not Alejandro sorry, Harutoki got injured, so it was replaced by Alejandro kind of like made way through the tournament.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know, also kind of a team that I thought was doing fine.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's the kind of, like, didn't really win a whole lot because they were doing the whole kind of story of like all rebellion kind of just falling apart essentially or like just kind of being on the way out.
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, their matches were fine, but they were also kind of very much like based around that storyline.
• 14:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: your enjoyment of these matches is very heavily dependent, how much you give a shit about our rebellion.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I do not give a shit about all rebellion because this faction has been dead for more than six months is actually being generous.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's probably been a dead faction for a year at this point.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I really, really hope that it's finally over and everybody else can just move on to something different and just more entertaining.
• 14:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, we'll see.
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: blog paper, the Jonah Tsumax, Manabu Soya and Yuki Inau.
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I actually think Noah has found something here.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean the actors a little goofy.
• 14:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it is over, and both men also seem to be really, really entered, which helps it as well.
• 15:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like it being kind of a goofy act, kind of risk kind of crossing the line into being too goofy, right?
• 15:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: But because these two just commit with their entire heart and body to this act,
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do think it actually works because of that, so I do think they found something here and very clearly know or believe so as well given that they had them in the tournament and then put the titles on them, so yeah, I hope they actually keep them together.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: for a while, and I'm curious where it goes.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It probably will have to refine the act a little bit.
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: If they want to keep them together for longer, because I also get the feeling that if they don't change up this act over time, I think it's going to start grading on everybody's nerves in the future.
• 15:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But for now, I very much enjoy the Jonas and Max.
• 15:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: know me to my refugee and cano.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, I also enjoyed them not really much to say about them to very, very solid work from both men.
• 16:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it feels weird to not be able to say that much about it and that actually mostly enjoyed food tournament, but it really isn't much more to say than
• 16:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had good matches.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's it, really.
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yushiki and Amura and Stallion Rodgers, so I'm not the biggest fan of Stallion Rodgers.
• 16:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I will say that again, he was trying hard here.
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: He really seemed like a guy that was putting in the effort because he felt like this was a chance for him to get more bookings.
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see if that will be the case.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, he was a guy that was brought in previously, right?
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it seems like him and in a more kind of know each other have some sort of connections.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: So in a more being more push now,
• 16:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, clearly means that like there's a chance that maybe he like, if, if Rodgers can get the spot us like in a morris like regular tag team partner, like that's a really good spot to have is like, at what it's like, I would say in a mora, Edward is just like the first top, it's like a top free guy in the company right now.
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if you have that spot as like the tag team partner of the top
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: With our entire escape, just a lot of like steak is what they did.
• 17:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't really enjoy it, yeah.
• 17:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because you could forget I'm a hamdione, I actually didn't enjoy this team, just like two grumpy old man that just went in there and just beat the shed out of people.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Very, very fun team didn't really result in a little of success for them.
• 17:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I definitely enjoyed them just kind of being in the end just being grumpy fuckheads and just being like, we're not going to take any shit from these young guys and we're just going to like beat them up and then and then just see if you can like outlast this old man and if you're able to outlast like us old man and you're probably going to beat us but if we can just like beat the shit out of you in like 10 minutes and then just pin you then we're going to win the match.
• 18:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, fun match structure Kenta and Katumi and Hara So they obviously didn't win any matches because in a Hara, it's still kind of position as a young boy But it's also pretty clear that he's gonna move out of that soon, rather than later, right?
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because again, it's not like a typical young boy It's more like the we you just joined the company as a guy that already has some experience who we're gonna give you like
• 18:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: to breathe young boys then so that you that you basically become one of our guys because now you like you went through the withdrawal you were one of our young boys so now you're one of our guys instead of like an outsider that came in so we can't push you after that and I think that basically what's going to happen here
• 18:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, show a lot of good fire, I think he, I think him and Kent have were like an overall fairly fun team as well and I'm very, I'm very excited of kind of what they're going to do with in a hard going forward.
• 19:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe actually let's go more and talk about like generally about the season.
• 19:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was kind of a middling season to be quite honest.
• 19:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the kind of gimmick of a monimagric like, well, for lack of better term, the magic's kind of worn off a bit.
• 19:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's fine mostly.
• 19:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's... you just kind of have to lower your expectations.
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's not what it was at the beginning when you generally had no idea who was gonna come for the curtain at these shows and it genuinely felt exciting where you're like, oh man, I never thought of like this match up.
• 20:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Where now?
• 20:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: it has a roster basically like right is there are still some surprises on here like I still like every once in a while you still get the like surprise of like oh my god I can't believe like this guy is at Monday magic and they book them against this guy that's such a cool idea like you still get that every once in a while but most of it is kind of just like a fairly established roster of like mostly no guys
• 20:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: then some like Euro guys that Nosawa picked up God knows where and Kaito Kishum here, and Titus Alexander.
• 20:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the roster, basically.
• 20:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then they just kind of do random matches.
• 20:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They aren't really very, very many like,
• 20:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like stories of few, it's like you get them every once in a while, but mostly they are just kind of shows that happen.
• 21:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then the season ends and it's like, yeah, I guess that was fine.
• 21:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it basically you need to go into these shows now, expecting something that will be perfectly fine.
• 21:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're not really going to get anything on like a modern magic show that is like a complete stinker.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like you will get some rough workers here and there.
• 21:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: but you will also have like a main event that involves some pretty good work as as well that like giving you a match that you're going to enjoy, but overall it's just kind of a product that is very much just kind of there and exists so.
• 21:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 21:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, to be fair, you can't really keep up like the same thing that you had earlier on, right?
• 21:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, what's just like, oh, you never know who's going to like, there's only so many workers out there that you realistically can book for this, but it's just, yeah, it's mostly just kind of there.
• 22:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and then let's talk about just very briefly about the the ADW 50th anniversary show on the 25th of June from the Agamatsu Town Community Center in front of 603 fans.
• 22:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, really only want to talk about the main event here, which was a JGHC Jr. heavyweight title match between Aetha and Dragon Bane, Dragon Bane being the defending champion and Aetha defeating Dragon Bane in 2257 with the Salamander to win the title.
• 22:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Going into the match, I did not expect a title change here.
• 22:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: because Dragon Bain had just won the title and I thought maybe he was going to be in for like a bit more of a lengthy title reign and everything.
• 23:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: But kind of as I was watching the match and just kind of the way the match was structured.
• 23:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was more and more thinking about like you can't like basically you can't send these fans home.
• 23:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: with an eight-hour loss.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's just gonna be like two deflating.
• 23:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Basically, like that's just kind of would be like, believe like, such a like better taste on everybody's mouth, if you just like, dragon-bain, just like, pins eight out for the one, two, three, and then just, here's music plays, and then people just go home afterwards.
• 23:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: There would have been like such a deflating end to this.
• 23:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, oh, and then, yeah, turns out, no, like, it is actually eight hours just bond the match and bond the title as well.
• 23:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: How do I feel about it?
• 23:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's, I don't know.
• 23:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm current like prior to this, I was very, very down onator.
• 24:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: He really went back and to just lazy ate her, not giving a shit, not putting in any effort into any of his mattress, just kind of existing on the roster, which has just unfortunately just,
• 24:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: you know the myopicness of eighties just a thing that's going to stay like at this point I don't think he's ever going to change like it's just who he is such just who he's going to be for his entire career but I mean that also means like many kind of swings back like he is generally pretty good and he was good he like he was very clearly motivated
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did kind of flirt with going for the stars on this match.
• 24:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's white got there.
• 24:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just like a his liver on there, but I thought it was like a pretty good match.
• 24:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like he really worked it well.
• 24:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like eight her being kind of the hometown hero and then like Dragon Bay and actually taking a good chunk of the match and then eight her just like having to like close way back into the match and like desperately trying to go for the win and everything.
• 25:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought that work really, really well and then just pop at the end when Aetra actually won the title was like, it could feel that it was like a really like feel good moment for the hometown crowd.
• 25:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: where we go from here, I'm not entirely sure.
• 25:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: If this is the data that we're going to get for like the rest of the rain, however long, it's going to be, then I'm perfectly fine with it.
• 25:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: If it's going to be the data that we've gotten over the last couple of months, then we might be in for like a bit of a rough one, especially since,
• 25:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hiata is the first challenger, I'm really curious how that one's going to go.
• 25:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like what couple of years passed are like hiata wins, loll mean now.
• 25:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't know if it's winning, like it very much feels like the company has kind of moved.
• 25:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And especially during the division has kind of moved past hiata now.
• 25:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't rule it out that he wins, but I don't think it's going to be a long reign in that case.
• 26:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: But at that point, well, if Bane, like Luzetel, immediately to Aetel, and Aetel, immediately used to hire, then maybe heighted, doesn't get that long of a reign, but kind of starting to really hot potato, that belt as well, so which, I guess you can do because whoever, like kind of is champion before the end one starts is probably going to be a champion for while, because there's not good.
• 26:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be a title offense most likely during a tournament, so yeah, who knows what they're planning here with the junior division.
• 26:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just that, you know, there are more like younger guys and everything that you could be pushing as well.
• 26:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not against eta having maybe a bit of a run with the bells here where he gets like, you know, like, free defenses or so.
• 26:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then you kind of like move it back onto a younger guy.
• 26:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, if we're just returning to like eight and high at her, like feuding for the belt forever, I think that would be a massive step back and just, really not a good idea.
• 27:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I also feel like a kind of building up right to die kid or she might finally willing this belt, um, though I feel like maybe we're like, I have to feeling that it might be holding this off, uh, until the New Year's Eve show, but.
• 27:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: to really make it like a big deal that it's supposed to be.
• 27:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: What we'll see what we're actually going to do with the junior title in the meantime.
• 27:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and then we go to the Noa Legacy Rise 2026 from the 25th of June, from Tokyo, Karkin Hall and front of 1,200 in two fans.
• 27:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, the number, which is the number, yeah, it's fine, right, like it's, it's a midweek show.
• 27:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, Wait a minute, let me not talk about, uh, final show.
• 28:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, I was just looking at the run sheet here that, uh, draw up made and I think we're missing, uh,
• 28:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: and a final throw for the tag leak.
• 28:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So let me just very briefly bring that one up.
• 28:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there we go.
• 28:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so let just quickly jump back in time to the 16th of June.
• 28:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also, for the Neo Global Tag League finals,
• 28:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: also in Corrican Hall in front of 1,000 and 9th fans, and I think we can actually kind of compare these back to back, right?
• 28:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, because both of them are midweek shows in Corrican kind of roughly a week apart.
• 28:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and I do think like the one phone 200 and two like in that case like is a bit of a better number compared to this one because them like barely getting to a thousand fans.
• 28:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now obviously, uh, like the show yesterday had a jeet see like heavyweight title match on it.
• 29:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's always going to be a bit more of a draw, but
• 29:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then again, I would still kind of question how much of a draw Shane Hayes really is.
• 29:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ender to some degree is a draw, but like I still wouldn't really call Shane Hayes versus Ender really like a massive ticket mover per se, right?
• 29:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think that is encouraging that like, just generally they can't stay above a thousand fans in Korkin, like even if the card isn't like a blowaway card essentially.
• 29:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, so let's just talk about the final draw real brief, uh, I think really the only two matches were really talking about, I like the junior heavyweight tactile match, where, uh, Dragon Bay in an Alejandro defeating a psychodoga and Hajimeo Harra, um, yeah, I enjoyed that match for what it was, I don't think, um,
• 30:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it was like an amazing match or anything like that, but it was just very solidly worked.
• 30:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the crowd was into it, I think the crowd especially was like into like Dragon Bain and Alejandro,
• 30:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think those two have really have to be like a very, very good team overall.
• 30:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they're really kind of like they match together pretty well.
• 30:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like they're just a very energetic.
• 30:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they really get like the crowd into their mattress.
• 30:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, definitely not the best offence of the rain.
• 30:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's not, like, oh, how are I?
• 30:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just not very good.
• 30:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Cotogia kind of, Cotogia seems very checked out.
• 30:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I wouldn't be shocked if Cotogia is like, leaving at some point when, like, once I could contract expires.
• 30:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but other than that, I enjoyed the mantra, Rawal.
• 30:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then the Neo-Global Tag League Final Match, Manabasoya, and Yukino, the Feeting, Cal Anderson, and Dog Gallows in 2555, when Sawyer hit Jonette's Ease on Anderson.
• 31:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I said earlier like I thought like the good brothers really worked hard I think you really like I arguably this was like the best match of their entire run I also really enjoyed like the fire from like soy and you know in this match
• 31:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: day just really like went all out there and again it's one of those matches where like a fruit of going forward didn't quite get there for me in the end but I perfectly enjoyed the match that I saw and if this is what the good brothers give us and like a limited run capacity then I think bring them back in like a limited run capacity in the future and and you know we'll just see
• 31:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: if they can keep this up or if they kind of river it or like what the usual form was.
• 32:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if it's this form then I'm not against bringing them back in the future.
• 32:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: and then also who could forget the most important show which let's go one more bad day back in time, which was the rest of the magic show in Kaurikan Hall on the 15th.
• 32:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Who knows how many people were in there?
• 32:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't look very full to be quite honest.
• 32:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: This one might have actually been under a thousand.
• 32:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of hard to say they used a different setup as well.
• 32:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: um yeah um this was a fairly forgettable show overall i would say um i didn't draw it the opener uh now meachy marifuji and taikyudashima going to a time limit draw with taikyudashima otter and fuminori abe like this like these are all like pretty good workers like obviously odashima's great
• 33:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Abba is great, Marifuji really, like the Marifuji resurgence in 2026 is real.
• 33:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Tai Chi, you know, is a real solid worker that can be great in spots.
• 33:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I actually thought he actually also, like, seemed a bit motivated here as well, because that's sad, that sounds just probably was one of the bigger like correct and crowds.
• 33:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: This worked off, that this worked on front of all year.
• 33:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, but no, I enjoyed this one and they did a bit of comedy, but not too much.
• 33:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I think they did comedy in such a way that it actually worked with in like the structure of the match.
• 33:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it just enjoyed the overall thing of just like, oh, that's really a mattress.
• 33:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like,
• 33:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: fighting back against, like, getting worked over by, uh, ab and touching motor and everything.
• 33:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, yeah, no, it's, uh, I enjoyed this mantra overall.
• 33:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, we had, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
• 33:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mikuano, Miyo Kitakase and Zones defeating Nightshade, Drone Robbie and Mikualana in 753, when I want to beat Alana with a small package.
• 34:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, pretty forgettable match.
• 34:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Very short.
• 34:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not really all that much time to really do anything in this.
• 34:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like, I mean, it's basically like it's like the matches almost as long as there are people in the match.
• 34:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just no time for anybody to really like show off.
• 34:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then we had a jeet see hardcore title match decision match.
• 34:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So as I mentioned at the beginning, he started to head on the hardcore title from Sattit Naka.
• 34:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But then had to go to the hospital and had to vacate the title.
• 34:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So then they made a decision match here to decide the new champion.
• 34:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was Shuji Ishikawa defeating Dysuka Sekamoto in 1243 with a giant slam.
• 35:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was fine.
• 35:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've made my feelings very clear on these like dreams.
• 35:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: See a hard cotide of matches.
• 35:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the general age is not very good and if you have like a not like non-bloody-hard combat.
• 35:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just do not really work for me and like these generally just feel way too like American TV wrestling for me to ever get into.
• 35:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I just do not
• 35:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we had, not to be fair, this was like a proper like Monday magic, like fire pro random button team in this next one.
• 35:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, was fine.
• 35:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, I, this was one of those things that's like, oh, yeah, this is like a really random team on the Japanese side, like on on the foreign side, it really was just kind of like the
• 36:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: general like fair that we've gotten in terms of like the foreigners in on Mande magic.
• 36:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it was fine overall nothing special though.
• 36:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then we had team Alejandro with his team Nassava, ultimate dragon, great Sasuke, Tsubasa, Hayabusa, and Alejandro defeat Masada, Fujita, Shudji Kondo, brother Yashi, Takuya Sugavara, with Nassava Rangai.
• 36:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: In 9.43, when Ultimo pinned Yashii with a Lama Jestral, I mean this really was just like a Tokyo Guerantai match through and through, which is a bit what Monimatic has become overall, but it's just really, really feels like Tokyo Guerantai shows.
• 36:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, especially this match, which just like all of like Missile was favourites in one match, essentially.
• 36:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I worth the expected results of like, you know, drag and using the LMS trial to get the victory.
• 36:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, again, it didn't really get any time.
• 37:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's actually, I had to let me just quickly count that one on.
• 37:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, it is actually like I said for like the right for the earlier match was like there's almost as many like there's almost as much time as there were people in this It would actually more people in this match than to match god time.
• 37:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, just not really much of anything in terms of a match It really was just there as kind of like a crowd player to see like hey, look at all of these legends basically
• 37:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in another decision match, so my Uewatani had to vacate the Gigi-C women's title.
• 37:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we got another decision match here with Marae, defeating the great Sakura in 12-4-8 with a Lariat.
• 37:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I enjoyed this match.
• 37:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Sakura has actually kind of grown kind of into this role.
• 37:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like it was very rough early on.
• 37:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like it was very clear that she wasn't really comfortable with the gimmick and didn't really know how to like properly work kind of like she didn't really figure out a good way to kind of find the right balance between stick and wrestling and I think now she has actually found that like right balance because earlier she was doing she was basically all stick and kind of nothing else.
• 38:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And now she has kind of like pull that back a little more and just lean a lot more until like just because you know that she is a good wrestler like underneath the gimmick And she's actually showing that now and I kind of enjoyed this match here
• 38:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in the main event, we had Zach Sabadrune, Luis Monte, and Chris Brooks, defeating Kai Tokio, defeating the Monday Magic Musketeers of Kai Tokio, Mia, Titus Alexander, and Archie Cole in 26, 22, when Zach's, when Zeta's Jay tapped out Cole with a modified octopus hold.
• 39:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, this was a really good match overall.
• 39:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, these are like, most of the, like, archicoles pretty young and inexperienced, but like the other guys in this one, like our like solid workers, the solid, solid, the great workers.
• 39:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they showed that here as well.
• 39:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: It really was just kind of a good time and really everybody kind of got enough time to show if it's well, right?
• 39:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like they got nearly 40 minutes on this.
• 39:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: So everybody kind of got the show of this stuff and everything.
• 39:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was just like a really nice crowd pleasing match.
• 39:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Crowd was into this as well.
• 39:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think the right results as well.
• 39:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's just...
• 39:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the thing, like you saw this line up and you just knew Archie Cole is the guy that is going to take the last year.
• 39:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like that, don't think that he ever was really in any doubt.
• 39:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think as much as, like, knows how our loss Archie Cole, I don't think he can talk any of these other free guys to feel like.
• 40:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, yeah, so would you be willing to take the pin against this guy that be this kind of not getting booked anywhere else?
• 40:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you free are like, you know, some of the biggest foreign stars in your respective companies.
• 40:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, that's just not gone, have fly really.
• 40:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: But fun Metroverall, messo magic.
• 40:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's, yeah, I don't know.
• 40:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It, it was a fine show.
• 40:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you're really going to, like, I don't think you're really have to go back and watch it.
• 40:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think.
• 40:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're really missing out on anything.
• 40:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you don't watch it, but you know, it will, I assume eventually it will just be up on, like, vessel universe with the like regular subscription.
• 40:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you could probably do worse than watch this show.
• 40:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't think I can really like tell you in good conscience to like go and like buy the paper view of this, like I don't think it's worth that.
• 40:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if it like in like six months or whatever, when it's like up on like wrestling universe, right?
• 41:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you're kind of the sport one evening, like you can put the show on and like be mostly entertained.
• 41:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and now we go back to, but I originally wanted to talk about which is the show from yesterday.
• 41:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: There are no legacy rice twenty twenty six from Kirk and Hall.
• 41:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And front of one fallen two and two fans, right?
• 41:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, it's a solid number, right?
• 41:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, with, like, we know that kind of the current set up of Hurricane, like, it is a bit limit how many people you can actually put in there.
• 41:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just, I think it's a more of a disappointing number compared to what they were drawing last year.
• 41:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it is, like, but like two years ago, I think you would have been very happy to draw this kind of number on a midweek hurricane.
• 41:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just that compared to last year, it's a bit of a,
• 41:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: disappointing numbers.
• 41:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think I guess in that case it just kind of evens out a little bit.
• 42:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So let's just kind of go over the show.
• 42:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you should keep in a more kind of style in what is an amaxa defeat cano kid like us and kid like us too.
• 42:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: In 640 when amaxa pinned like us with a crucifix hold, it pinned like us too with a crucifix hold.
• 42:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pretty sure.
• 42:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's a fine didn't like good opener to mostly all action, didn't really get much time.
• 42:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: A maxa was kind of being kept strong here as well, which would become clearer later why we're doing that, or rather, would.
• 42:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: become a parent right in the next match, actually.
• 42:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So in the next match, Tai Kiyotashima, Yutaku Anagi, he wrote to Suiru Surya, and Medori Takahashi, defeat Takashi Figura, Tadasuke, Alpha Wolf, and Dune Masaoka, and 4-1, when Tadasuke got disqualified.
• 42:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: But this really wasn't much of a match to be honest.
• 43:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like it mostly wasn't storyline, and it's basically the team 2,000 eggs, guys, just kind of like,
• 43:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: beat up all of the young boys really, really quickly, and then it just kind of becomes like a handicap match, essentially, like a bit of a way where they like intended to be a preview kind of of the Lara match that they're going to do later, where it's basically Dike or Ashima, and handicap match was a bunch of like team 2,000 X to get a spot on the N1.
• 43:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so yeah, he very much like, like he fought on valiantly, but he was like obviously like completely outnumbered But then yeah, Tata scale like got himself to squallified and then a max actually came in for the safe
• 43:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, turns out, no, it isn't actually to stike you with a Schema versus all of Team 2000X.
• 43:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's actually a maxa is going to be in that match as well.
• 43:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, not quite sure where this is all leading.
• 43:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of afraid that this is going to lead to a turn of either, I mean, a maxa would be the obvious one to turn, this kind of from the setup.
• 44:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: or a Schema wouldn't make any sense to turn, but to be quite honest, I don't want either of them to turn.
• 44:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they're both tremendous baby faces, I don't really want either of them to get them broiled too much and like Team 2,000 Acts bullshit.
• 44:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll see where this whole storyline is going.
• 44:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: It would be a bit deflating if this all just ends with like a Team 2,000 Acts guy getting into the N1.
• 44:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: But then I'm also not sure like if these guys like basically all of the guys that are in this match and they don't win Does that mean they just have no chance of being in the unwanted all I could be rid of alpha wolf isn't the Indian one I guess the cash is a girl are not being in would make some sense It wasn't in right like it seems to be kind of done with wanting to be in tournaments like this
• 44:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm not entirely sure where they're actually leading.
• 45:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's the easiest one, which would just be like, Orishima, Winston-Match, and then he has run in the end one, when he doesn't really get a lot of wins because he is a junior and he's like, so on the size as well, I think that would be the most entertaining thing when I can match quality perspective, but we'll see if that's actually the route that they're going down.
• 45:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we had Hayata and Katumi in a Harder defeating Ada and Supercrazy in 558 when Hayata pinned crazy after the four or three impact.
• 45:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, again, it's really getting a lot of time.
• 45:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was fine for what it was just.
• 45:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I still not sure if you feel about Hayata was eight.
• 45:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't say that this really got me excited for the match to be honest.
• 45:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then we had Ozawa, Masakitamiya and Kaifujimura, the feeding katakiyomiya, Alejandro and Dragon Bane in 903.
• 46:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: When Ozawa pinned Alejandro after this one dive, Munsold Press.
• 46:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And after the match, Masakita Mia got back on the microphone and once again, he declared that like, because all rebellion as such losers, they are now officially despanded with this loss.
• 46:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it appeared as they actually are.
• 46:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not quite clear, so Kaito and Alejandro, like shokans.
• 46:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: after the match, which seemed like at least English commentary was saying that it means all rebellion is done now.
• 46:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can only hope it is.
• 46:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of a weird way for them to go out, right?
• 46:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like they had an actual like unit-to-span match that they won.
• 46:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then in this band, on a random, after a random sex man, like a couple of weeks later, it's just a bit of a very weird story if it's just the actual end now.
• 47:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I also can say that I'm too unhappy if it's just at least it's an end, right?
• 47:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: So in German, we have a saying,
• 47:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: basically better a horrible end than horrible without ending.
• 47:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's kind of what like, or rebellion started to feel like by the end words, just like, okay, we all know the faction is that basically, like, where are we going with this, how much longer we carrying this on, like, it really started to feel like a thing that it's like holding everybody in it back.
• 47:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Alejandro basically has like already left it anyway.
• 47:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's formed the team of dragonbane and they are like completely separate from it anyway.
• 47:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kaito is doing whatever the fuck Kaito is doing, and then Harutoki is now out with a neck injury, so yeah, it very much was just time to just put it out of its misery, and if that's how they do it, I can't really call it a satisfying end, but at least it isn't end.
• 48:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: And for the G8C national title, now Meiji Marafuji defeats Fuji Kondo in 1247 with the perfect necklock for the second defense of the title.
• 48:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I said, the Marafuji resurgence is real.
• 48:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, not like a blow away match or anything like that, but work perfectly solidly.
• 48:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed it.
• 48:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: do I can make an argument that this was the best match on the show although I do feel like the main event gets lightly pushed ahead of it because I enjoyed finishing sequence of that one more but again like this one was like a nice and tidy you know like 12 or 13 minutes like nothing it doesn't really overstay it's welcome and it was fine for what it was.
• 49:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And some of my main, we had to do it, see Tag Team title, Manavusoya, and Yuki Ino, defeating Tetsuya Naito and Bouchi in 1820, with the, when Soya Pint Bouchi after the passion is, and with that they win the titles from Altijay.
• 49:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, again, this kind of was suffering from the problem that I was talking about earlier with Altijay, right?
• 49:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, Bouchi has to do like 80% of the work.
• 49:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: and then I just mostly just stand there on the apron and then just comes in like for like a bit to like do some stick and then text back out to bougie basically like that's their mad structure.
• 49:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: They do this work because they're kind of leaning into being assholes a bit more so I think that helped them out.
• 49:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I have to say, like, I enjoyed the, like, global tag league final more than I did this match.
• 49:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do think it was the right call to put the title on Soya Nino here.
• 49:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that it was the more exciting team.
• 50:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are super over with the crowd as well.
• 50:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Afterwards, SIGURA and Kitamiya ran in for a beat down and they are going to be the first challenges.
• 50:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope this isn't so a stay like zero defense rain.
• 50:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope the I hope I hope so and you know actually defend the titles in that match because I do think they've kind of earned themselves like a bit of a longer run.
• 50:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see if no actually give them but I at least think that they've earned themselves the chance to show what they can do.
• 50:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And let me see, oh, yeah, right, the main event and the main event for the GHC heavy title.
• 50:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Shane Hayes defeats Tetsuya and 2250 with the Bomb Valley Daff for a second defense of the title.
• 50:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed the match, I have to say I thought it was a weaker match, and he's other two title matches.
• 50:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't think that's really on heist.
• 51:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you have to put that more on endo and it just seemed like very listless in this match.
• 51:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just kind of doing things mostly like they were very technically very good looking things.
• 51:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: But there wasn't really very much kind of like
• 51:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like things tying things together, right?
• 51:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like there wasn't really anything, like very felt like, oh, this is kind of what he's trying to accomplish in this match.
• 51:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and he also took a lot of this match like that's the other thing because Endos said before the match that he would have an announcement in case he wins, which actually led me to believe that he was kind of in the, uh, uh, when the title here, uh, but then I actually watched the match and against the max match structure to see much more like a haste when because Endo just took so much of this match.
• 51:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like he just wasn't control for so long and Endo just
• 51:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: runs out of ideas, because he has a bunch of different moves, but then it doesn't really know how to tie things together during a control period.
• 52:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: That just makes it kind of like...
• 52:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: not very memorable, but then I did like the finishing sequence at the end and like haste kind of getting a very definitive win at the very end there as well where he kind of just took out his entire arsenal and he just took everything in the kitchen, saying he just threw it at Endo and then just pinned him in the end so I did like that.
• 52:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then afterwards, Osawa came out wearing glasses, doing like to translate a gimmick that he had been doing a couple of months ago as well.
• 52:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it looks like Osawa was haste is going to be the next title match.
• 52:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I do think this probably were haste-trained and like I don't think that's really much of a reason.
• 52:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a good time to end it as well.
• 52:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've enjoyed the haste rain overall, but I think putting it back on as I was, like the young guy that is very committed to future off this company, and giving another second long rain and everything to really establish themselves as the top guy you know, is the right call to make.
• 53:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll see how that match actually goes because I think Ozaawa in the second lane lane really has to show that he can actually like work properly as an ace It's a kind of wrote this up kind of in the like right up that I did for the 30 on the 30 on him right like well like the bit of the frustration with fem right now is that
• 53:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like his character is like a guy that we know is tremendously talented, but that takes short cut and that's why he's a heal.
• 53:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like that also feels like what he's actually doing.
• 53:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: In a weird way, it's like his character is like what he's shoot doing right now And he's like he knows that he's really over and he's realized that he can rely very heavily on stick and stuff like actual match quality And that's why that's why I think kind of the match quality of his has like suffered a lot over the last couple of months
• 54:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I do think if you're actually the ace at the top of the promotion I don't think he can really get away with that for too long And I think he really has to step up in the second reign and really show that he can carry this company Do I think he has to tell him to do that?
• 54:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, but we'll see if he actually Like we'll do it as well.
• 54:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be quite a crucial way in for like the future of Noah This second was our title reign, so yeah, that's what I think kind of
• 54:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: what the future of Noah is and will see kind of where to go from here.
• 54:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, and then moving over to all Japan kind of similarly, like, I'm not going to go to in-depth on like a bunch of, like, house show stuff that has happened because, like, I don't think it really want to listen to me talk about drinking tea, but so from a month ago, like, what you want me to tell you, like, it was fine mostly, and nothing really of, like, not really much of, like,
• 55:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: consequence happened and if anything of consequence happened then that was a thing that really was like pay off at like the next picture really so not much of a point of me going really in depth here
• 55:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: What I will go talk about a bit more, though, is kind of the show from the 6th of June, from the Nikorina Kakuda, on the non-Sity Kakuda City General of Neism, in front of 2,118 fans,
• 55:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So this was obviously the the big like homecoming show for the site of brothers right where they were like challenging for the tack titles and
• 56:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: to, yeah, when I were traveling for the tactile, so like finally we gained them.
• 56:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's really what like the most important match of the show as well, but I want to just like briefly touch on the gear activity title match as well.
• 56:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Kuma are actually defeated as hour number one in 13 minutes, 27 with a diving centon.
• 56:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was probably as hour number one's best match ever.
• 56:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I enjoyed this one really well.
• 56:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Insanely hard like he really like you could feel the desperation here Because it was also kind of like kind of a bit that that like the future of Hawks to go and was like on the line here as well
• 56:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: and he really didn't want to die what eventually like it's like Kuma Rashi was just too powerful like a Rashi really just like tossed as I was like around the ring and just really like kind of like relish destroying him and Isaiah were just like desperately trying not to lose and like
• 57:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: fighting back and showing some proper fire that I don't think I've really seen him do all that often and then eventually just you know falling and to like just a rush it's like superior power and losing them actually like that diving sent on felt very definitive like that for like to finish
• 57:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like you could see it on the crowd as well.
• 57:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, like the crowd was also on as our side as well.
• 57:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like they wanted to win so badly.
• 57:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then Kuma just crushed him if that sent on and pinned him.
• 57:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I really, really enjoyed this match.
• 57:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Probably one of the best matches of either man's career in terms of singles matches to be honest.
• 57:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Definitely one, I think you can actually kind of go back and watch.
• 57:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I very much enjoyed this one.
• 57:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then we're going to jump to the main event.
• 57:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So for the older pan world hacked in titles, June and Ray Cytor defeat the Titans of Calamity R&I Abbey and Talos in 2659 when Ray pinned Ayabbey after the fallout and the champions fell on the fourth defense and the Cytor brothers regain at titles and become the 104 champions.
• 58:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ah, yeah, this was great.
• 58:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was awesome.
• 58:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was such a good match.
• 58:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it all Japan really has found gold with the slight tightness of calamity team.
• 58:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like these guys just really like compliment each other so well, like they're just two tall fuckers.
• 58:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they just project that so well, like they just like,
• 58:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: They make the cytoes look small, and it's really hard to make the cytoes look small.
• 58:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: These guys were just brawling all over the arena and just beating the shade out of each other.
• 58:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like that finishing sequence was just insane.
• 58:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that crowd was so hard.
• 58:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: That crowd was just like living and dying by like every single thing decided to stay here like every single like near fall They were like ready to like lose their minds for like the cytosventing every single time the titans got like a near fall They were like ready to just like despair of like they're like this belief that a cytosco would actually lose this match And and when the cytos actually got the way and like they just went mental and yeah just
• 59:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: insanely good match.
• 59:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I went four and a half on this.
• 59:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love this match.
• 59:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was just tremendous tag team work from both man and yeah, please more of this.
• 59:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love, I am generally a big fan of the site, but like, the site is like in the home, in the home province, just like all another level, just absolutely insane.
• 59:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we're kind of gonna, again, like,
• 59:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jump over some of the, like, how should I think, maybe to briefly touch on the Shinjuku face show that they did on the 11th.
• 1:00:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Where you had Goshi Zaki was Zion in, like, where Goshi Zaki beats Zion in 244 of a strong arm-laryat.
• 1:00:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I have to say, I did, I never expected a Zion match that went like 20 minutes, I unmatched to beat this good.
• 1:00:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I didn't go
• 1:00:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a good match overall, like Gochiyo Zaki is just on fire right now, Zion really like put a lot of effort.
• 1:00:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It also turns out I think this one was actually his last match.
• 1:00:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, before going back, I mean, I would very much expect Zion to be back because he is super over.
• 1:00:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: He seems to be very motivated to be an all-japan.
• 1:00:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I definitely expect him to be back, but like this was like the last match of this current run that he was on.
• 1:00:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, and yeah, very clearly worked like a guy that was also like, working to be back in the future as well.
• 1:01:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then we go to the 18th of June, to the super power series, 2026, and Tokyo Currican Hall.
• 1:01:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And for one thousand five hundred and four fans, super vacancy, full house, people will literally hanging from the rafters.
• 1:01:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, not literally, but almost literally.
• 1:01:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was a very packed Currican Hall.
• 1:01:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They sold this show out.
• 1:01:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: very, very quickly.
• 1:01:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like this show was sold out, very in advance.
• 1:01:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: This wasn't like if you were going that day off, you had no chance of getting anything.
• 1:01:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, they open up the balconies, like in advance as well, after all of the seats had sold out and like those tickets sold out super quickly as well.
• 1:01:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I mean, Ken to, like not to put anything against like Ken to and he'd actually like I do think, like especially Ken to have shown that he is a draw.
• 1:01:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think a decade to some degree has shown that he can draw like good numbers as well like throughout the years, but you very much have to attribute this number to like you very much have to attribute this number to like you my hands, I mean yeah and like the you my hands I like boost that he got from being on the bachelor rat.
• 1:02:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's going to like I don't think they're going to draw this number at the show.
• 1:02:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, like, okay, maybe they do sell out all of the seeds.
• 1:02:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't think it sells out as quickly as they showed that.
• 1:02:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you could very much feel this as well.
• 1:02:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you got to report some people in the building as well that, like, there were people there when, like, this was the first ever wrestling show that they went to.
• 1:02:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you could feel it with the reaction that, like, you, my hands, I got as well.
• 1:02:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think, literally, I think,
• 1:02:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I don't want to call that too early, but I do think all of the pan actually didn't manage.
• 1:02:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: to like transfers some of that to like other people as well.
• 1:02:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 1:02:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do feel they actually created some new wrestling fans at the show that are going to come back to like see do not just see you my anxiety but to see all your pan per wrestling and to see guys like go Shiosaki and to see guys like
• 1:03:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: than Tamara, right?
• 1:03:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I do think all Japan is managed to make some new fans here.
• 1:03:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I'm kind of gonna like, oh, I don't have enough time.
• 1:03:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see, one more time with it right now.
• 1:03:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I really would only skip like two matches.
• 1:03:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So don't just pre-freak on a touch on them anyway.
• 1:03:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So in the open, I hope to amore, yes, Takayano, Masa Yukikono, Fuminori Abe, and Yuya Yuki, defeat Zion, Musashi, Seki Yoshiyoka, Shota Kofuji, and Yogawa, in 722, when Yano, Pint Kofuji, with a drag knife holds,
• 1:04:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, with Janope, he's peer, he's not going to go anywhere, unfortunately, so it is what it is and we just, yeah, I could kind of have to move forward with it unfortunately.
• 1:04:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, again, solid enough open or overall, but again, not really enough time to get anything really done, like I'm not even sure everybody tagged into the match.
• 1:04:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure everybody did, but yeah, but then what might have been like the greatest second from the bottom match and all Japan history, we had the junior title match where Dan Tamara defeats Seigotachibana in 2021-24 with a power bomb to win the title,
• 1:04:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: to become the 74th champion.
• 1:04:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: They finally paid off this field that they started, what feels like 20 years ago.
• 1:05:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: The bit of an exaggeration, but I'm pretty sure they started this field at the end of March.
• 1:05:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then they paid it off and like mid June, it went on for a long time.
• 1:05:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I mean, boy, they pay it off, like absolute banger of a match, like say good touchy barn.
• 1:05:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think, I mean, listeners of the show are unaware how great say good touchy barn is.
• 1:05:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, if you're someone listening to the show and you don't know how great say good touchy barn is, like, did you just intentionally skip over it every single time we were talking about them?
• 1:05:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he's pretty damn great like when he's been given opportunities to like work like serious mattress and I think Dan was the right opponent is capable of just having a really great mattress as well and like very clearly like Sega is one of those opponents.
• 1:06:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: like we had like reports from like people that were like there that like a good chunk of the crowd was like crying as well when Dan won the title like Dan fans really are on another level like Dan fans are just like write or die Dan Tamera fans and they are hardcore like they will just put all of their emotions into his wins and
• 1:06:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, I have to say it is kind of very endearing because it shows that they just care very, very deeply about him and like him winning this title again, and all of that, and yeah, it was, it was an amazing match as well, it's very, very physical, just, you know, Dan really doing his like power junior style and like, say go, let me say goes, it's neatly, it's also kind of a power junior as well.
• 1:06:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So these two just kind of hit each other like really, really hard, and
• 1:06:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely great match.
• 1:06:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Four and a quarter on this.
• 1:06:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I absolutely love this match.
• 1:07:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then we had when I arrived at Talos and Daisuke Seke Moto and Kangishu Machimo, defeating June-Sighter Ray-Sighter Ryukihonda and Kuma Rashi in front of the 11.
• 1:07:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh... after a free stop uh... when uh... kango machimo had june in the mudo and june passed out and the rest of the match mean big win obviously here for kango over the former triple crown champion and then uh... kango challenge kango challenge the cytoes for a tag team title match and dice the second motor is going to be a partner i'm looking forward to that that should be a really good match
• 1:07:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: NWA World Heavyweight title match between Silas Mason or Silas Mason defeats Tretaro Srinow in 7 minutes 10 worth the scrapbuster.
• 1:07:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was wearing my master of suplex shirt because I wanted to believe and I had to award myself the fell for it again award after the match because
• 1:08:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: very clearly this was probably part of the kind of the tides of calamity winning the when in the Crocodile Cup so then in return Silas got to come to Japan and be the guy here the mattress good I mean it was seven minutes I wasn't really all that much you can do in that time
• 1:08:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he definitely worked like a guy that you can bring back.
• 1:08:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Silas is one of those guys.
• 1:08:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think his talent is obviously has good size, has a good build.
• 1:08:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's very solid underring as well.
• 1:08:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think working in Japan and actually specifically working in all Japan would do wonders for him.
• 1:08:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's really one of those guys, well like you give this guy like a good solid free to six months in all Japan.
• 1:08:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he is going to transform himself into really, really great worker.
• 1:08:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, if that is actually going to be the case, we'll see, but I think that's something that like if he's willing to do it and if all Japan is willing to do it, that's absolutely something they should do.
• 1:09:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And next, we have Go Shilzaki and Yuma Anzai defeating Suwama and Yuma Ayoyagi in 1628, after a strong after Suwama, after Shilzaki beats Suwama with the strong arm laryat.
• 1:09:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this was pretty damn great as well, like the crowd was obviously really into this because this was the match a lot of them actually came to see Because they were really into humans.
• 1:09:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I But I do think like I would not be surprised if like a good chunk of the people that came for just humans I would share and forgot she was occupied by the end of this match Because him and so were like this match was really much more focused about like Subama and Shiyozaki
• 1:09:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: where those two just kind of just be each other are really hard and she was like he just really showed off why he is so likable right like because he is just this kind of like underdog and he just looks vulnerable because well I mean it is a bit of a show because the man is like 60% tape at this point.
• 1:10:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think it just really enhances what like has kind of always be like she was agy Ed is best when he's just this kind of like tragic hero.
• 1:10:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: he's just like desperately fighting from underneath against Suama and he was like on the road of just like losing to Suama and then Anne's like Thompson at the very last second to like hit the knee on Suama to like save go Shiosaki and then Shiosaki like relays from there and actually manages to get the win and the crowd goes nuts and yeah you know what fuck I'm going to go for on this I really enjoyed this match.
• 1:10:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then we had all eight attack team title match, Atsuki Ioyagi and Rising Hayato, defeating Ishin and Yushiki Kato in 1904, when Aoyagi pin-kato after the fireboards, Splash, and also crushing its fucking face with it as well.
• 1:11:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Where the champions win a fail on the first defense and Atsuki and Hayato become the 132nd champions.
• 1:11:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was fine, I thought it was a little disappointing to be quite honest, I'm with Artsky I really feel like it's, it's kind of stalled out in this development and I think higher toes still pretty good but I also think it's stalled out a little bit at a higher level than Artsky has, like they're both still young, it was still more than enough time to like,
• 1:11:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: basically start developing again, but I think right now it feels like both of them have kind of peed in their development and yeah and it's I thought this match would be a lot better than it would be, it wasn't bad, but I also felt like it could have been a lot better than what it was.
• 1:12:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: dragon gate kind of involvement for now because also actually I forgot to mention this earlier talking about the newer section where actually Rita and Jackie Funky Camay actually popped up a note to challenge
• 1:12:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Bane and Alejandro for the GHC Junior title, so it seems like I mean, it's not out of the question that like Dragon Gate and all Japan still keep working together going forward despite that, but generally in the past it's like you're really only have like two promotions working together at the same time So it wouldn't be the price of this maybe signals like a shift
• 1:12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: for like, dragging it to work a bit more with nowhere going forward than all Japan, but, yeah, we'll see what it actually means in the future, yeah, and then in the main event for the trip around, can't do me a hurrah, the feet seat, thank you Suzuki in 1708 with the shutdown
• 1:13:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, yeah, really this could have gone either way.
• 1:13:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, I think, can't keep in the title is the right decision.
• 1:13:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't have been against like Kiddakey, like getting like a bit of like a gold watch right in here, because he really has been pulling in a lot of work over the last couple of years.
• 1:13:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I guess just having him when like champion carnival already is enough of an achievement for him to be honest.
• 1:13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I'm not really against this.
• 1:13:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Kenter has been doing good work.
• 1:13:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've really really liked this match as well.
• 1:13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think really like Hideki is one of those guys thinking kind of like take Kenter a bit out of its comfort zone as well, right?
• 1:14:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because like with all of his technical resting as well, like I think it just
• 1:14:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: make for a really good match structure where like for example you had like the the one spot right like when like Kentu kind of got out of like kicked out of out of like a pin from he deki and then he deki like immediately scrambled to like get another hold onto Kentu.
• 1:14:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: To really show that it's like the relentlessness of like he decays work right like when he's like doing it's like mad grappling It's like he's not gonna let you get any time to like really get some breathing room like like if you somehow manage to get out of his stuff He is just immediately gonna like try and get on another hold on you So that you don't have any time to like recover from like the damage that he suffered from the previous hold
• 1:14:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, I think that works really well and then obviously canto's, I mean canto's like combat sequences are pretty good as always and then he put them away in the end and I would go like a foreign quarter on this really good match.
• 1:15:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's really between this and the junior title match.
• 1:15:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have both of those for great, I think actually maybe the emotional moment of the dude in that title match, I think maybe that puts it slightly ahead for me, but yeah, just really solitary, top the bottom, like in front of like an insanely hard-curric and crowd from all Japan, I think you really are like,
• 1:15:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: on fire right now um it they definitely have a lot of momentum like a think kind of is a little bit similar to like the momentum that like Noah had last year with like the was about title reign and everything they really do need to capitalize on this like and i popularity i'm not sure how they're gonna do it because it doesn't really seem like
• 1:15:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's factoring into the triple crown picture right now.
• 1:15:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: That kind of moving seems like they're moving him in back into the all-asiatar team title scene.
• 1:16:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 1:16:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if that's a mistake or not.
• 1:16:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like in theory you should capitalize on it by like Anza, like winning a triple crown, and like
• 1:16:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: getting back on top, but obviously that wasn't there like long-term plan that they've had.
• 1:16:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, does seem like all Japan very much is just going to like stake the course and stick with whatever long-term plan they've had, and not just hot shot, and so to the title, we'll see if that works out for them or not, but obviously on the show like.
• 1:16:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: You had a really hot crowd, there was super into everything and I would say this was, I think it's very easy to say that I think this was all Japan's best show of the year so far.
• 1:16:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, time will tell whether or not they can capitalize on this momentum or if they end up squandering a bit.
• 1:16:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: But right now, they definitely have a ton of momentum and it's a very enjoyable kind of promotion to watch as well.
• 1:17:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm just briefly going to touch on the Shinki Bershow that they had on the 24th.
• 1:17:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, supernovae can see fall hard in front of 300-400 fans.
• 1:17:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: But again, like their Shinki Bershow's always set out as I had to find out the hard way in January.
• 1:17:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Or rather, at the end of last year, basically, when I went to the...
• 1:17:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And when I went to the Yoyogi show, and I wanted to buy tickets for the Shinki or show there and turn to the Shinki that was like at the middle of January, and so like basically solid two weeks away, and at that point the show had already been sold out, because the all Japan hard cars just really love themselves, the Shinki were shows, and I think it always really helps like the atmosphere as four of shows as well.
• 1:17:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, really like the only thing of note on here was, uh, more rather two things of note, uh, three things of note.
• 1:18:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha ha.
• 1:18:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, basically is that, uh, kind of free title matches were decided.
• 1:18:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Nurekidoi is going to challenge Dan Tamera, uh, for the junior title, which will be on
• 1:18:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And similarly, on that same cobbishore, which they're really kind of loading up is you will have Rene Yabe challenging Ken Tamia Harra for the triple crown.
• 1:18:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: So again, we're not moving Anzai into this picture, because Anzai instead is going to challenge for the all later tag title.
• 1:18:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because on this show, him and Shota Kofuji, defeated Yuma Aoyagi and Yasuta Koyano.
• 1:18:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Which actually managed to, like, which actually forgot to mention earlier, is so after the Olator tactile match, Yano comes out and he is like challenging Ayuyagi and Hayato and he just says that like his partner is going to be human and the crowd goes wild.
• 1:19:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: But no, it turns out actually his partner is going to be Yuma Ayoyagi, which the crowd did not take well, very much for like not happy about that, which they kind of played up because I will say this actually was a really good bait and switch because then you're when because then Shota Kufuji comes in and he's like, well, wait a minute, no, no, no, no, no, no, no way, way, way, like,
• 1:19:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I actually also want to challenge for these belts.
• 1:19:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And my partner is also going to be Yuma.
• 1:19:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Yuma and Zai comes out and the crowd goes wild.
• 1:19:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then it's set up this, like, number one contender match.
• 1:19:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then, yeah.
• 1:19:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Zai and Kofuji won.
• 1:19:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to challenge Aeryagi and Hayato.
• 1:19:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know if you want to capitalize on the Yuma momentum.
• 1:19:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you kind of have to have a win to be quite honest.
• 1:19:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess I get that Kofuji is a young boy and everything.
• 1:20:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I do think if you really want to keep and as a momentum, you kind of have to have a win that match.
• 1:20:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it would be weird for two people so high up in the junior division, like A-A-A-Y-A-G-N-H-I-R-T-O-T-L-I-K-A-Y-R-T-O-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-T-L-
• 1:20:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: lose the titles this quickly after like winning a tournament and everything but like I don't know like with Anza I don't think you want them to lose even if he's obviously not going to be the guy taking the last in here I think you want him to like win the titles and just carry on a small momentum.
• 1:20:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see if they're going to do that.
• 1:20:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's going to be a while until like, like I said, like the next kind of made a show of note, is about a month away.
• 1:20:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like they're going to do a bunch of stuff to like set things up until then.
• 1:20:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what all Japan, like, again, right now, I very much enjoy what all Japan is doing.
• 1:20:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's going to continue for the foreseeable future as well, hopefully.
• 1:21:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, we are going to be back at some point soon.
• 1:21:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: It kind of depends when Gerard is feeling better, when we're going to be recording the special on Joe Doring then, and until then,
• 1:21:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Enjoy all of the wrestling out there.
• 1:21:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bye-bye!
