  [UNKNOWN]: So let's give it up So let's give it up I'll say won't heat It's as if it's out To the know No, no, no No, no, no, no It's not a joke It's not a joke
• 1:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Welcome back everybody to wrestling oh my kase it is episode number 315 this week please we join by returning guest hello John Bibbons.
• 1:30
  [UNKNOWN]: How's it going John?
• 1:32
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's going okay, you know, I think everybody's kind of down about the news that broke yesterday, of course, with, uh, with Pack very suddenly dying.
• 1:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, just very, very sad news obviously.
• 1:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, makes one of those things where it's like, I don't know, bring back a lot of bad memories from me.
• 1:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 1:52
  [UNKNOWN]: You have a lot of, um,
• 1:55
  [UNKNOWN]: experienced like losing people suddenly like that, but one of my best friends just kind of like died out of nowhere.
• 2:00
  [UNKNOWN]: And it was like it's early even younger than pack and like it's early 30s.
• 2:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So kind of maybe think of that, but anyway, I know starting out of very positive, I don't know.
• 2:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Lots of deaths.
• 2:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Lots of people die.
• 2:13
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it's really, I've been listening to wrestlers talk about it all day and how much what a great guy he was and how sad they are.
• 2:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Just like many kinks and talk about it while I was writing for you to come on.
• 2:24
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, it's all very sad.
• 2:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, he seems like I seem like everybody loved him.
• 2:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I've read all these tweets from Dragon Gate guys and other people in Japan that love Tam and obviously it seems like everybody in a W love Tam and, you know, it's very sad to lose somebody still so young only 40 years old.
• 2:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think that's been the thing that's amazed me the most is like the input and like all the different places that this is coming from.
• 2:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Because I mean, like he wrestled in so many places.
• 2:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, PWG, he did some stuff for Ring of Honor like a long, long time.
• 3:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, like 2007, I think he did like some ROH dates.
• 3:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I mean, it's it's coming from like everywhere.
• 3:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I remember it because I remember that's when I would have been going.
• 3:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So I remember I think I remember seeing him.
• 3:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think that that one period is.
• 3:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I, yeah, I think he wrestled like, I want to see it was like Bryan Danielson at like Caged Rage 07 or something.
• 3:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I know he's right.
• 3:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, he's finishing that in 10 days.
• 3:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so he wrestled in, I must have been at that show where he wrestled David Richards, good afternoon, Manhattan, Mayhem 2, August 25th, briskos, and again, yeah, the short more shaman dance than the I was definitely here, it was August 25th 2007, and let's, and let's that was when I was living in Austin very briefly, but
• 3:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 3:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I was there, but I could have the dates.
• 4:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I might have actually been when I was in awe, when I was briefly in awesome.
• 4:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Just, you know, when you're as old as I am, they all start to recover for a certain point.
• 4:14
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I'm trying it because I'm trying to think of what we're seeing in live.
• 4:17
  [UNKNOWN]: But I guess I want to see him in AWS some point.
• 4:25
  [UNKNOWN]: say what I got was he on the original all in or no I don't think so that's that's a good question I mean they're they're so much to to cover with him at like oh he won't you okay he I was there when he won for sure the show at the match I saw him in uh the original food and Dority won that four way for the the first all the anecdotal that I was definitely at in 20 okay so I want to see them at that
• 4:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, you know, he's very, I mean, obviously that means a question.
• 4:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, he had so many, like you're kind of saying he had so many careers, he had more careers in his career than most people have, you know, like five people have, you know, and yeah, one, probably the greatest, the greatest dragon gate for whatever is the dragon gate people are all going to talk about this week.
• 5:15
  [UNKNOWN]: And just, you know, that's, I think that's mostly what I remember him for as being a long time pure old fan, they're like seeing him in 2011 and the junction three blood warriors through the still probably one of my favorite periods of any wrestling promotion just he was such a big part of that.
• 5:30
  [UNKNOWN]: as the brave gate champion and doing all the spectacular stuff and he comes back in 2019 and after a whole day of the rerun and it's like the best or 2018 and I should say and it's like the best heel champion they've ever had probably as a few gate champions.
• 5:44
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like two completely different careers you had or two different runs in the same promotion and like you know and that's just one of the many promotions he appeared in.
• 5:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So
• 5:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think the only time that I ever saw him live was I went to a WWE house show and make it with my dad.
• 6:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I was probably like 15, 16, something like that, but he was wrestling Kevin Owens.
• 6:12
  [UNKNOWN]: For I think it was for the universal title at that time.
• 6:17
  [UNKNOWN]: But Kevin Owens is probably my favorite wrestler of all time.
• 6:23
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think they had a match, they had several matches, but I think they had some like in PWG.
• 6:30
  [UNKNOWN]: And so I just remember like, I didn't know what the card was like going into that night, but I remember like trying to explain the lore to my dad of like, oh, these guys used to wrestle in the Indies like 10 years ago, and it was like some of the best matches,
• 6:48
  [UNKNOWN]: And that at this point was about like 10 years ago.
• 6:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And so he's done like so much since then.
• 6:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, yeah, just like I was saying like all the different inputs of like people from different places like Dragon Gate and PWG and Ring of Honor, A-W-W, and W-E. Like even like wrestlers for WWE or like, you know, expressing like what he meant to them and all that.
• 7:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's, it's just crazy like, he, I was just saying, the saddest one to me of those like messages was probably much as a PG owner, I think.
• 7:26
  [UNKNOWN]: because he had this adorable picture of him and having packed together with pack or like a WWE toy spitter belt or something that I assume was Mochi Jr's family.
• 7:37
  [UNKNOWN]: It was Pax who know, who knows, but Mochi Jr's like, you know, I always wanted to be a pro wrestler because I met you and we thought we'd be to get some day after it became a wrestler and now it's never gonna happen.
• 7:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, oh, this is so sad.
• 7:51
  [UNKNOWN]: And he looked in, pack looks so happy in the picture too.
• 7:54
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just so sad.
• 7:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's one of those things, like, I remember when I was young, you'd go on sites like Bleacher Report or something like that, and they'd always have lists of, like, the top 10 most underrated wrestlers of all time, and it's always like William Riegel, Finley, you know, stuff like that.
• 8:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I think Pock is definitely up there for most underrated of all time.
• 8:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, outside of his dragon gate run, like, he was never really pushed as like, you know, the top guy of like any one major promotion.
• 8:32
  [UNKNOWN]: But like, he went everywhere, like anywhere you can imagine, like, he's had an input and like an impact on people and like, I think, I think it's
• 8:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Like people looking into his career, there's so much stuff to find.
• 8:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Like there's so many matches that are just like, oh my god, I can't believe he wrestled this person in this time and all of that.
• 8:59
  [UNKNOWN]: That I think is really interesting to look at because I mean, like he was a fascinating guy.
• 9:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, like he's a real person, you know?
• 9:08
  [UNKNOWN]: And that shouldn't be lost.
• 9:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Like that should be the first like primary thing.
• 9:13
  [UNKNOWN]: people have lost like someone that they loved.
• 9:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But he was a lot of people.
• 9:18
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of people as we keep saying.
• 9:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, absolutely.
• 9:22
  [UNKNOWN]: But he was also a great wrestler like secondarily and, you know, people that like dive into that and really do like a deep dive on him are going to find like a lot of really interesting stuff because he had a fascinating career.
• 9:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, just a sad thing overall.
• 9:40
  [UNKNOWN]: And I currently said news, I mean, just really like, I don't know if all those things, when, you know, this sort of thing, I always find the finding out first in the voice roasting slack, because I just always have that open.
• 9:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And...
• 9:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I don't remember who dropped it in there.
• 9:54
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like only five minutes after he'd ever post it on Twitter and I just remember it's one of those things where I'm just like, how is that even real?
• 10:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Because he just wrestled the day before and they did every bit of which, you know, I didn't watch, but I knew he wrestled on it and he didn't hear anything about anything.
• 10:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, you know, there wasn't like, obviously the butcher Andy Williams just passed away, you know, very short time ago, and that was like an injury in the ring, right?
• 10:18
  [UNKNOWN]: That was an accident, the ring that happened.
• 10:20
  [UNKNOWN]: which is horrific in its own way, but like this is like the guy wrestled yesterday, as far as I know we're going to tell him it was fine, and now he's just gone, and it's just, like it just totally feels like it, you know.
• 10:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I was just, I think a lot of people were just in shock yesterday, probably I think.
• 10:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, it's starting to like really, um, starting to feel more real today.
• 10:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess, but it's just really like, you know, yeah, I don't know.
• 10:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Just added like people, anyone can, I've always lived my life thinking that,
• 10:51
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, um, I could expire any moment, I guess, just kind of how I've always lived it.
• 10:57
  [UNKNOWN]: And I've had a lot of, unfortunately, I have a lot of uh, um, brushes with people.
• 11:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I love dot passing away way too young in my lifetime.
• 11:06
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I mean, it's a lesson I've learned repeatedly like, you know, um, care for people.
• 11:12
  [UNKNOWN]: You love water here.
• 11:14
  [UNKNOWN]: You never know when they're gone.
• 11:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Enjoy your life while you have it because you never know what it's over.
• 11:19
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, and a lot of people, a lot of people are going to miss Pac because it's, you know, he seems like he was seen by all accounts that have been like one of these guys where it's like, you know, everybody loved him.
• 11:30
  [UNKNOWN]: So.
• 11:34
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a hard transition for that to anything else, but I guess other than that, how are you doing?
• 11:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, we you asked me to go bowling the morning that I was like driving home from Chicago and I was like, I'm sorry.
• 11:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm already in Indiana right now.
• 11:56
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, no, I'm I'm doing all right.
• 12:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't get to all the shows that we were going to cover today because I'm working two jobs and I'm also a full-time college student right now.
• 12:11
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's been about just starting this one
• 12:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I started back in August, but the college that I'm going to like their semesters are like eight weeks semesters.
• 12:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So this was actually finals week for me.
• 12:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So geez.
• 12:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I've got the almost everything I've got to give in.
• 12:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it was, it was a struggle, but like I, like the show's really good, so I mean that, that helps, but I mean, I'm gonna watch a lot of wrestling anyways, so I was just a matter of like kind of crammed it in, but yeah, so I mean, it's good, it's good.
• 12:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, I had my job, like I talked about last week's episodes and kind of this is kind of the really busy season for it.
• 13:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So I was kind of amazed.
• 13:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I got through everything.
• 13:04
  [UNKNOWN]: It probably also helped that I was sick for the last week, so I couldn't do anything else.
• 13:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I couldn't do my house and go play to the end or do anything else or go drink or anything.
• 13:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So I was able to get through everything.
• 13:14
  [UNKNOWN]: A little easier than usual to be honest with give it how much there was, but
• 13:19
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, like, if not for obviously the horrible sudden news of pack dying, I feel like the first thing we're to let off this show with is like how sad I am that should you go face closing, but being sad about a building closing feels kind of like feels almost like inappropriate now to be honest, but, you know, this is a really, it is a really cool building and I'm going to miss it a lot, but it's just a building, right?
• 13:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Like this, the feel like this really puts it into perspective.
• 13:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, I understand where you're coming from, like, it is sad in its own way, like it is dwarfed by, you know, the circumstances of life, you know, overshadowing it, but they're specifically the surrealism show, like watching that,
• 14:07
  [UNKNOWN]: made me feel sad that the building is going to close because it like that was such a unique atmosphere for the show where like I felt like it really added to the show that you know is not going to necessarily exist in that way.
• 14:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Outside of like you know, Alju Pan running like um
• 14:27
  [UNKNOWN]: What's the other one, Shinkiba?
• 14:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 14:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I think a lot of things Shinkiba is going to be getting a lot of the slack from this, but I guess we'll say.
• 14:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, a lot of emotions seem to be trying all sorts of other ones.
• 14:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I know there's a Maori going show I'm going to be able to go to.
• 14:43
  [UNKNOWN]: It looks like, as it turns out, I talked to Eric last week.
• 14:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So, okay, that's a whole story for people who listen last week's episode.
• 14:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I had talked to Eric about how I didn't know what I was going to do on the 18th, which is my first day back in Japan.
• 14:59
  [UNKNOWN]: My first full day when I landed on the, now I'm reverse, it's the, it's the, it's the 19th.
• 15:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Now I'm confused myself.
• 15:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Let me look at a calendar.
• 15:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Now if I take off the 17th, I land on the 18th and it's the 19th.
• 15:11
  [UNKNOWN]: So the 19th, I thought, Marigold show was basically head to head with ice-reven stodo show and I want to go to the ice-reven stodo show.
• 15:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Then I realized the ice-reven stodo show on the 26th, the falling week.
• 15:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm like, okay, I could just go to the ice-reven stodo show on the 26th instead.
• 15:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But now I'm staying in Akabane for on the first night for no reason because the whole reason I'm staying there the 18th is going to be so close to the cytoma where the stodo is.
• 15:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Then I saw that Mari Gold seems to have published the wrong start time for their fucking show.
• 15:45
  [UNKNOWN]: It's the second time that I've done this in this venue.
• 15:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I think Mari returning me to joke about it, but their Twitter, their tweet that we've spent so long looking for the tweet for our last week listed as a 1 o'clock start time, which is definitely not going to work because my instrument show starts at noon.
• 16:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, they're calendar, when they put it on the calendar finally, which is not on their actual event page.
• 16:08
  [UNKNOWN]: If you click through their calendar, they have a separate calendar on some other website, the time-treeapp.com.
• 16:14
  [UNKNOWN]: That goes further out.
• 16:16
  [UNKNOWN]: It says, Marigold True Victory 2025 starts at five o'clock, 1700 at the Shibuya Sky Arena where the funk is called.
• 16:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, I mean like,
• 16:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So if that is the case, then I can definitely go to both of them because the ice from the show should be two hours at most, you know, as a dojo, especially, so be over by two, so I'll have like three hours to get from Saitama to Shibri.
• 16:44
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not, it does not take three hours to go from Saitama to Shibri.
• 16:47
  [UNKNOWN]: It takes like, I don't know, 40 minutes at most, maybe an hour.
• 16:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, I can easily go to both them, so the whole thing is changed, so now basically I'm waiting for like some further confirmation of which time is right, but I believe I can actually go to both, which is good, because I, you know, people who have heard last week's episode, I really enjoyed the end of the end of the end of the Marigold Dream Star GP, and, you know, I want to go see them, so we're not only chance to see them.
• 17:13
  [UNKNOWN]: since they're running a cork in on the 28th of an Osaka.
• 17:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Not the only people running cork in on the 28th of an Osaka.
• 17:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Fucking surrealism is, too, which that one was like a knife, that was a knife to my chest.
• 17:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Cause I tried to figure out a way I could do if I just, there's just no way.
• 17:27
  [UNKNOWN]: So, like, yeah, I'm just completely fucked with that.
• 17:31
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, like the Mari Gold Shuber You Sky Show
• 17:39
  [UNKNOWN]: that one I looked like I could go to on the 19th.
• 17:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's quite at least go to Marigold and and the ice cream and dojo show.
• 17:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So um but yeah that's one I guess where I got on this is because that this is one of these newer new Tokyo venues that Marigold seems to be trying out among other promotions where it's like the Shibuya um Shibuya War Sports Center.
• 18:02
  [UNKNOWN]: which, you know, I guess we'll see what kind of venue that I think they might have ran out already actually, but it was like a house show a little show, so I didn't really get the chance.
• 18:10
  [UNKNOWN]: The thing is, I'm sure even if they haven't run out already, I can probably picture at my head, I bet it's one of these like giant like gymnasiums, right, with the lights run, the whole time and everything, which is, it's never going to have the atmosphere of a ever Shinjuku face, which, you know, I think even even for people who haven't been there,
• 18:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I think, you know, it just looks way better on television than a lot of the other smaller, you know, very anonymous looking venues.
• 18:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's because it was bait for people in other history, should you could face, it was basically purpose built.
• 18:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, it would hold concerts too, but like when this place opened 21 years ago, it was open as a place to run wrestling and mixed martial arts events.
• 18:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, that was the whole reason.
• 18:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe face from what I understand anyway is a reference to like being kicked in the fucking face.
• 19:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that's what that means.
• 19:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So you know, it's a purpose-built menu.
• 19:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, this is really all it did.
• 19:08
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, it had amazing acoustics, which I think come across on TV, it looked really, really cool in person, like when you go in there, I mean, it had like a, you know, like I remember thinking the first time I walked into it, like it looks like a concert venue kind, like a little tiny, like a club room.
• 19:25
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I actually run for people who people who are in Vegas, I haven't been in Japan, the place where the,
• 19:35
  [UNKNOWN]: the one of the fuckers called it.
• 19:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't remember what they called it.
• 19:38
  [UNKNOWN]: We're the Mott Marvellous and West Coast Prou and all those promotions ran, you know, Panamodium action.
• 19:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I think they had a name for the venue, for the whole thing, but I can't remember what it was now.
• 19:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Wasn't collective.
• 19:49
  [UNKNOWN]: That's juicy, W.
• 19:51
  [UNKNOWN]: It doesn't really matter.
• 19:53
  [UNKNOWN]: The ND venue.
• 19:54
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like, it was some bar in, you know, in the art district in Vegas, and it kind of reminded me of some Duke of Facebook.
• 20:02
  [UNKNOWN]: It's definitely smaller than some Duke of Facebook, but I think it had sort of similar vibes.
• 20:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I mean, that was like that's probably the closest I've ever been to as far as an American venue that remind me of that.
• 20:12
  [UNKNOWN]: But it was like, you know, this dingy little place that had a decent atmosphere and
• 20:18
  [UNKNOWN]: But Shinjuku faces much bigger than that place is like the biggest difference.
• 20:21
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not that place was legitimately hard to walk through where Shinjuku faces big enough for the 400s so people they put in there that it really wasn't very difficult to walk through.
• 20:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Like you could really walk around it pretty easily actually.
• 20:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And it had that elevated seating too with, you know, you have like, I'm trying to think of the way to describe this.
• 20:43
  [UNKNOWN]: So you have like the ring obviously on like a lower level, which people, I think you can even see it's on TV.
• 20:50
  [UNKNOWN]: The ring is at a lower level.
• 20:52
  [UNKNOWN]: There's like two rows, maybe three of them.
• 20:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's two.
• 20:55
  [UNKNOWN]: On most sides of the ring, on the lower level, there's more on one specific side, I think.
• 21:01
  [UNKNOWN]: There's more rows of seating on a lot, the bigger steps, especially.
• 21:05
  [UNKNOWN]: on one side when you first walk in.
• 21:07
  [UNKNOWN]: But then there's a lot of elevated things.
• 21:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Like there's a, there's a, when the entranceways come out, come out on those two sides, and the other three sides of the ring have, you know, this elevated platform, and famously the front row of that, the elevated platform has the, on two of the sides, not the third side, has the drink counter.
• 21:27
  [UNKNOWN]: which those seats cost just as much as front row, almost every time I've ever been to.
• 21:34
  [UNKNOWN]: They sell out faster than front row all the other time, because they're so fucking cool.
• 21:37
  [UNKNOWN]: I only ever managed to sit there once.
• 21:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I've been this and you can face, I don't even know how many times.
• 21:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, over a dozen times at this point in my life, I think.
• 21:45
  [UNKNOWN]: And the only time I ever managed to sit there was the great show last December, 30th.
• 21:52
  [UNKNOWN]: which for the vast majority of promotions because it's not even a full row all the way around the ring.
• 21:59
  [UNKNOWN]: It's only two rows on two sides of the, it's basically half a row.
• 22:03
  [UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
• 22:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Of a normal section.
• 22:05
  [UNKNOWN]: It's only on two sides of the ring.
• 22:07
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's very, very limited seating.
• 22:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Like there's less of those tickets than there is a front row.
• 22:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Cause front row is obviously on all four sides of the ring.
• 22:13
  [UNKNOWN]: So for the most part, those two rows sell out in fan clubs,
• 22:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, like the moment they go on sale with the general public, but usually just in vain clubs to be honest, or the universe, and I remember putting them in for, for universe free sale, a lot of years before I never getting it for like DDT, Tokyo, Yoshi.
• 22:33
  [UNKNOWN]: But great because it's not that popular, you know, started a great fanceless thing, but not that popular promotion.
• 22:38
  [UNKNOWN]: They actually had available for me to purchase in the general on sale, I bought it.
• 22:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, so if anything, I always think late for letting me sit in a, um, in a counter seat, you know, less than a year before we're trying to close because that was always something I really wanted to do and I just never got a chance to do it.
• 22:54
  [UNKNOWN]: We have such a great seat because besides the fact that obviously, you're, you have this like, you know, there's big wooden drink counter that wrestlers love to brawl on to, by the way, as we'll, we'll see multiple times when we really show us.
• 23:08
  [UNKNOWN]: besides that, you're like level with the ring map.
• 23:12
  [UNKNOWN]: And you don't have anyone else in front of you because the two rows of actual seats that are in front of you are below, but at the actual normal ring height.
• 23:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So you're at this elevated seat where directly in your sign of sight is like, the actual red map of the same exact line of sight.
• 23:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm probably describing this very poorly, but do you get what I mean?
• 23:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, no, like I'm looking at it right now, but like if I wasn't, I would still be able to understand.
• 23:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like you're sitting on it, you're seeing the front row, the drink, counters in front of you, and then the two rows of seats that are close to front of you are at a lower level, like a normal over-inside seating level, and you're looking straight across the bottom of the right.
• 23:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's like a, it could not be a more perfect view.
• 23:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So I totally get why those seats sold out, and it sucks, I'll never get to sit in them again.
• 24:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I only got to sit in them at one time.
• 24:03
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, it's just a very, very cool view.
• 24:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And even like the, I sat in that big elevated stage part, which is the part on the hard cam for almost every promotion, which even, even being a few rows back on that part is really cool too, because you just get like such a cool view.
• 24:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But it seemed like whenever I will buy more general seating, they would always end up in that in the second row or third row on that one side on the lower part, where the lower part goes further back.
• 24:28
  [UNKNOWN]: But which isn't nearly as good as C.
• 24:30
  [UNKNOWN]: member being there for send aggregals in 2025 when make us out of my face, menores is your gay, but yeah, it's a very, very cool venue.
• 24:41
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to think about anything about it that you wouldn't know from watching at the home.
• 24:45
  [UNKNOWN]: The ceilings are really low.
• 24:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Like especially I fucking banged my I'm a tall per your tall person too.
• 24:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I've been met you.
• 24:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So you would do the same thing.
• 24:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sure except maybe you're not as clumsy as me.
• 24:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So maybe you wouldn't.
• 24:56
  [UNKNOWN]: But like the I Banged my head walking into that fucking bathroom probably every single time I ever went in that venue because it was not meant for someone who's almost six to
• 25:06
  [UNKNOWN]: like every single fucking time I would fucking forget and bang my head going into that bathroom.
• 25:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So, because like it has this big long row, it's basically like the actual, the most camp part of the venue by far isn't the actual like ring area because the ring area is actually quite big especially with the sides of the venue.
• 25:25
  [UNKNOWN]: It's the fucking hallways.
• 25:27
  [UNKNOWN]: The hallways are so incredibly narrow, but there's one narrow hallway that where a bunch of spaces taken up by a bunch of coin lockers
• 25:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, so it's like really really narrow because it was super coin lockers and then that leads the two bathrooms and again, I always made my head in the vents bathroom.
• 25:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, then the other side has a little bit more room, but that's where the drink, the famous drink bar is where the drink bar always has a really long line because for people who don't know this, you famously have to buy a drink ticket when you enter a Shinjuku face.
• 26:00
  [UNKNOWN]: That's how the venue would make, I guess, a little extra money because
• 26:02
  [UNKNOWN]: the right on this place was enormous because it's in like, again, if we don't know anything about Tokyo Geography, it's in one of the, uh, not even one, but it's probably the the like most central area of Tokyo.
• 26:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, Shinjuku's super famous for a reason.
• 26:19
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like less than a 10 minute walk from the busiest train station in the entire world, Shinjuku station.
• 26:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, so it could not be more centralized by that.
• 26:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Like basically it gets fed in from like every single suburb you can think of has like a direct line there.
• 26:34
  [UNKNOWN]: It feels like, and yeah, it's like I'm just a very, very big train station.
• 26:38
  [UNKNOWN]: And then the Kabuki Cho area where it's, you know, right in the middle of love, famously popularized by the Yakuza video games, or like a drag over the fuck they call it now.
• 26:48
  [UNKNOWN]: It's, you know, a very, very popular red light district and seriously right in the middle of it.
• 26:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, it's right next to the famous Godzilla hotel, the hotel Greece, recent juicou, they built the giant new Kabukic hotel right across from it.
• 27:07
  [UNKNOWN]: and it's really, really, really centralized in the Kabuki show.
• 27:11
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I guess, to raise more money, they would charge a drink ticket.
• 27:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So you would have when you would like not, when you buy your ticket, when you would enter the building,
• 27:22
  [UNKNOWN]: You would have to pay them, I think it used to be 400 yen, and they raised it to 500, 600 yen, which, you know, not that expensive, but still.
• 27:32
  [UNKNOWN]: You'd have to pay them the fee when you would enter the building, when you give them the ticket, and they would give you a drink ticket, and you could trade that in for like either a tiny, a very tiny little lemon sour, or like a can of a tiny draft beer, or like a can of this like Jack Daniel's Coke or something, which I got once that I thought was disgusting.
• 27:52
  [UNKNOWN]: but it's so stuck with the stuff at the tiny one in sour.
• 27:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I usually love jacking coax, but the can jacking coax is not good.
• 28:02
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so you have to do the drink ticket and the bar line would always be really long because again, everybody had a drink ticket to trade in to start in the show.
• 28:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, and that's also where they would set most of the merch tables up, which took up even more room, so that's how a little more space, but again, that's where all the merch tables would be, sometimes they would like a wrestler would put like a table back where those lockers were to make that hallway even.
• 28:26
  [UNKNOWN]: even more narrow, like that's why I met Minores Suzuki during the Sendai Girl Show in 2025 when he was wrestling maker, he had like a little table there.
• 28:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And that all area also had the smoking room, which was a very, very, very crowded smoking room, and I should do good phase.
• 28:44
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just a very cool little venue, I'm gonna miss a lot.
• 28:49
  [UNKNOWN]: The elevators took fucking forever every single time, either to get up if you got there before starting the show and especially to get down what the end of the show and the elevator.
• 29:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Because there was a stand while I think,
• 29:02
  [UNKNOWN]: But like, it looks, I don't want, it's one of these animals that looks like an emergency exit.
• 29:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I can never really tell if you're supposed to use it.
• 29:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I would see some people once in a while going to it, but most everybody just went to the elevators.
• 29:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So it was like, okay, I'm just going, you know, when you're in Japan, a good general role is do whatever the Japanese people are doing, don't try to like, you know, you don't want to be that foreign, all right?
• 29:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So all the Japanese people are going to the elevators.
• 29:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you just kind of figure you should go to the elevator, too.
• 29:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, and yeah, the elevators just they take fucking forever because you're not the only, like, it's, again, describing the outside of the building.
• 29:40
  [UNKNOWN]: It's, I think on the eighth or ninth floor or something, on a big multi floor like entertainment building.
• 29:49
  [UNKNOWN]: So you have, there's an arcade on the bottom floor is the building, um, which has changed ownership multiple times, but I now is called game panic, I believe,
• 30:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Um
• 30:02
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a spa on the inside the building.
• 30:05
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a bowling alley, there's a dark place.
• 30:08
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like one of these Japanese places that's like very general entertainment, basically.
• 30:12
  [UNKNOWN]: And so the funniest thing is when the resting show would end, and a lot of times you'd have random foreigners because it's very touristy area.
• 30:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So especially in recent years, the elevator doors would open.
• 30:24
  [UNKNOWN]: And you see these foreigners who were just upstairs at the, I believe that the dark place is the one above.
• 30:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I think those are also karaoke places up there too.
• 30:31
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a character that plays everywhere in Japan, but the doors in open, you see like these foreigners just staring at this giant mass of people waiting to get on this elevator, which, you know, if you're on an elevator, you're not expecting, you know, to the doors to open on a lower floor and like hundreds of people be waiting to get on the same elevator.
• 30:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's just very funny.
• 30:51
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like imagine being at like, you know, some bar, whatever, and getting on an elevator and coming down and suddenly a rustling show is letting out.
• 30:58
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just very weird.
• 30:59
  [UNKNOWN]: But they always looked at like, what the fuck is going on?
• 31:02
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of the times, if I was on the other, getting on the elevator, they would ask me, because, you know, like, here's a white person, they kind of has some English, like, what is, where did everybody come from?
• 31:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I'd be like, so wrestling show, and they were like, oh, sumo, like now, not super.
• 31:17
  [UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, just a really cool venue.
• 31:21
  [UNKNOWN]: One, I'm going to miss a lot.
• 31:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
• 31:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 31:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to think of anything else notable about it.
• 31:29
  [UNKNOWN]: There have been a lot of cool moments, I experienced, which I think I wrote some of them in the notes, but, you know, Gabe Kitchering from Makosatamaura, that's just, to beat Minerals to do these assats of favorite memory of mine there.
• 31:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Think the very first show I went to there was Oz Academy in 2017.
• 31:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't think I went there in 2016.
• 31:48
  [UNKNOWN]: But,
• 31:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, very cool venue.
• 31:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm going to miss a lot.
• 31:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And I guess that's my big jeep face.
• 31:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll give him this big eulogy.
• 31:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And I remember, there's still one more show that we're going to cover next week.
• 32:01
  [UNKNOWN]: But.
• 32:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, let's just say all but but all these shows being that you know all these final shows these promotions it was on my mind.
• 32:09
  [UNKNOWN]: So do you have any like Shinju Kufei?
• 32:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean so I know you've never been there but you have any Shinju Kufei's memories as a um I was not somewhere as do we set to make foot last year like really really hard to get a little bit of story over it but yeah um you know that's like my favorite
• 32:28
  [UNKNOWN]: you told the story but it's like my favorite, uh, oh, Macasay, like story.
• 32:36
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like the way she said that my foot was so fucking hard.
• 32:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And like she's like, because this was the start-up show, uh, this past January.
• 32:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, she's just like, she's just stopping around ringside because she's really angry about the heels cheating or something.
• 32:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, she just came down on my foot so fucking hard.
• 32:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought she'd broke it for a second.
• 32:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, Jesus Christ is in me and I looked at her and she looked back at me and but like in a way where she was not kind of she was not going to acknowledge it in that moment.
• 33:01
  [UNKNOWN]: But she's just like, you know, she looked at me like, yeah, whatever.
• 33:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I said to your photo cares.
• 33:05
  [UNKNOWN]: But then I told her about it when I met her after the, it was the Spark Joe she showed her in Vegas this year.
• 33:13
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, like, maybe three or four months later.
• 33:16
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, my broken Japanese, I told her about it.
• 33:18
  [UNKNOWN]: She was like so hot yet that I felt bad for mentioning it.
• 33:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I went to mention it as like in joke, basically.
• 33:23
  [UNKNOWN]: And she was like, oh, my gosh, you're foot okay.
• 33:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, no, my foot's fine.
• 33:26
  [UNKNOWN]: She's like, I'm so sorry.
• 33:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, oh, it's okay, that just ought to be funny to mention that I was up this show, you know, three months ago in in Shinjuku phase, you stepped on my foot and it mean to make you feel bad.
• 33:37
  [UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, it's just a very, it was very funny.
• 33:44
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so that's where we're doing these up now, if we're trying to think what else happened.
• 33:47
  [UNKNOWN]: It's where I put this in the DDT show notes, if I might as well make it it now.
• 33:50
  [UNKNOWN]: My all-time favorite Shinjuku face moment.
• 33:53
  [UNKNOWN]: This was I believed 2017, it's always harder, remember when I got these mixed up.
• 33:58
  [UNKNOWN]: It was a DDT show.
• 34:00
  [UNKNOWN]: and this was the very started Russell Universe at the time DDT Universe.
• 34:04
  [UNKNOWN]: And the gimmick was they could, this is back when they actually didn't play music that has copyright, but they'd now just play everything because you people probably noticed, but back then they were muting about just stuff.
• 34:15
  [UNKNOWN]: And Kazuki Hirata,
• 34:18
  [UNKNOWN]: They were muting his famous Tokyo Gosong and it became like a comedy thing for weeks where he was really upset because they couldn't hear his theme song and oh, and he was like, you know, I'm the theme song.
• 34:29
  [UNKNOWN]: He's everything for me, you know?
• 34:30
  [UNKNOWN]: He just danced and everything.
• 34:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So finally, she said to Kagi tells me, have to do something about this.
• 34:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And here it's like, okay, I got it.
• 34:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm gonna record my own song.
• 34:38
  [UNKNOWN]: And everybody thought I was gonna be a disaster.
• 34:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And this was like the very, this, this shall change your faces, they, they view of him.
• 34:46
  [UNKNOWN]: using the same song and the video screen comes up and it shows here at this like very like old timey recording studio microphone and he just starts ballering out you know Tokyo but does a way better job than I am doing right now.
• 35:01
  [UNKNOWN]: and the crowd.
• 35:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Because first of all, he actually could sing.
• 35:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Nobody thought this band could actually sing.
• 35:07
  [UNKNOWN]: The fact that he actually sang his own theme song that was pretty good was the fucking funniest thing.
• 35:12
  [UNKNOWN]: The entire crowd is just fucking dying.
• 35:15
  [UNKNOWN]: It's probably the loudest ever heard of last, like in person.
• 35:20
  [UNKNOWN]: It's probably the loudest thing I've ever seen a crowd loud.
• 35:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And I've been to a lot of YouTube shows.
• 35:24
  [UNKNOWN]: And the crowd just was so fucked.
• 35:25
  [UNKNOWN]: The crowd thought it was so fucking funny that this man couldn't actually sing.
• 35:28
  [UNKNOWN]: And he comes out and he looks so proud of himself.
• 35:32
  [UNKNOWN]: And everybody, I guess I was like, practically crying with laughter over how a bit of the singer he was.
• 35:37
  [UNKNOWN]: And she shared to Caggy and Toro Wasci as partners, just look at him so unimpressed.
• 35:42
  [UNKNOWN]: And a Wasci's like, yeah, whatever you did, okay.
• 35:45
  [UNKNOWN]: And to hear just his beaming and to Caggy just like slap some upside the head, basically to be like, get over yourself.
• 35:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And the crap just like what happens to our, uh, just one of my all-time favorite ones.
• 35:54
  [UNKNOWN]: It's incredible, it's almost been nine years since that, since that now.
• 35:58
  [UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, that, that is my, that is my all-time favorite Shinjuku Facebook when I think, but that in person, for sure.
• 36:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Do you do have like a favorite match from Shinjuku face that like rings out to you, like one that you were there for, or like one that you remember like watching?
• 36:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I think my favorite, well, I'm trying to think.
• 36:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think I've ever watched a five star match in Shinjuku face.
• 36:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't think of one without my head.
• 36:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I can definitely remember four Greek orders, which was Sherry and Surrey from last year's Surreyism show, which was one of my favorite matches in 2025.
• 36:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And I like that.
• 36:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I did like the rematch better, but still, it still made my top 10.
• 36:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, actually it was a good.
• 36:41
  [UNKNOWN]: I have a whole spreadsheet.
• 36:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's see if I can find any.
• 36:44
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a great way.
• 36:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Probably should have done this before the podcast, but I didn't.
• 36:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's say, should you do?
• 36:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 36:52
  [UNKNOWN]: You didn't know you were going to be put on the spot.
• 36:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's true.
• 36:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 36:56
  [UNKNOWN]: This, this one, I think I was there for this was this would have been the first I went to this would you in second?
• 37:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 37:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Actually, now it's too.
• 37:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Now it's too late.
• 37:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Nevermind.
• 37:08
  [UNKNOWN]: uh okay this is February 2019 okay just a couple four star matches there another four star match here from Tokyo Jushi another four a quarter from DDT okay okay
• 37:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm almost positive it's going to end up being as far as ones I actually have on the spreadsheet, which only go back to 2019.
• 37:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm almost positive it's going to end up being the, uh, the Sherry one, but Sherry and Sherry.
• 37:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 37:43
  [UNKNOWN]: That was definitely my highest rated.
• 37:44
  [UNKNOWN]: My highest rated Shinjuku face match this year, uh, was actually, is for, is a match we're going to talk about today.
• 37:50
  [UNKNOWN]: There are four and three quarters, uh, spark rush against Vayne and Hazuki, which is also an incredible match.
• 37:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah.
• 38:00
  [UNKNOWN]: There's this KOD six man title match from this year to their one four and a half on back in March, March 11 that match was awesome.
• 38:07
  [UNKNOWN]: That was a UK Rano toy and to catch you again.
• 38:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Masada Karoku and Daiti Sato from Pale Youth.
• 38:14
  [UNKNOWN]: That match I remember being really awesome.
• 38:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, you know, fart, like, favorite match I was there for, trying to think, was there anything and like, I mean, that, that menorah Suzuki make us out of Muramash last year really stand out to make, because I was just such a, and it feels like people who watch it at home, some people seem to like really like it, but like, I thought that match was incredible in person, and it's, I still have some people think that wasn't even very good, but, you know, being in that room,
• 38:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Shearing for Mako against, you know, this fucking demonic man, basically him and Orsey's okay, especially while like Gabe Kid was there shearing very loudly for Mako, which was made even more surreal, was just, yeah, it's a very, very, very cool memory, too, trying to think of as any other matches I'm not thinking of, so, I mean, I've been to, I hate, I sound like an asshole, I've been to so many shows and so many,
• 39:13
  [UNKNOWN]: I remember there was a DNA shell.
• 39:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I went to in 2017 that I really liked, I wonder if I could find it now.
• 39:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's see, DDT kid.
• 39:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Probably didn't have like any like super duper standout matches per say, but I just remember the whole show being really, really cool.
• 39:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Did it have, did it have its own page match?
• 39:32
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think it did.
• 39:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 39:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, DNA.
• 39:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, okay, here we go, DNA.
• 39:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So this would be 2017 and this would be it, probably.
• 39:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the beer garden show August 5th, 2017.
• 39:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's probably it.
• 39:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Yep, because it's one day tournament.
• 39:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, this was it, because I had Naomi Yoshimura being mad on the finals.
• 39:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I remember that match being really good, so it's probably, that was probably cool.
• 40:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, just so many interesting names on this, like that DNA, that DNA generation.
• 40:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you have Yuki Oweina on the first round, went out on the first round, actually, at the hands of Diego, the Duke of New South America, who pops up every now and then, also named on Charlotte Gunchulo, I think.
• 40:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Mal being shoot my cats a mod on the opening round obviously those two are very important names to current DDT Then you have guys that just kind of went elsewhere like a Copie you were socky and resupy with Tase and the first round went through a 10 minute draw on you know you were socky now Mostly a glee guy What Tase I think is I'm barray right I think yeah, I think that's right
• 40:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, just a very very interesting collection of names on this show.
• 40:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, who the fuck dies is dukey.
• 40:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't remember that name at all.
• 40:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Why didn't he must be like, uh, yeah, he retired not that long.
• 41:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Not that long after this actually like 2017 was last year.
• 41:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 41:04
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just really, um,
• 41:07
  [UNKNOWN]: you know, really interesting collection names on that show.
• 41:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, that's short.
• 41:10
  [UNKNOWN]: That was like one of those times when I landed on the planet, I think I went straight there or something.
• 41:15
  [UNKNOWN]: And that just remembered the thing and that was like a really, really cool show.
• 41:21
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so that was what memory that sticks out to me.
• 41:24
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just mostly like just such an intimate venue, I guess.
• 41:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's like just such a cool venue to be and then see like wrestlers you really like and just going to see a star show this year for the first time there is really cool.
• 41:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Getting to see like you know DDT was just always such a great promotion of really not running that building and they were just like
• 41:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, that was the DNA show I went to was a beer garden show.
• 41:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So getting to go to I went to the DT beer garden show later that night, too.
• 41:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So getting to go to beer garden shows really cool when like the, you know, I think the big gimmick was like they would have like cheaper drinks, what's a much part of it, but it was basically the idea was like it was like, you know, like a party atmosphere kind of like that was basically the idea that you're going to get together.
• 42:09
  [UNKNOWN]: you know, with your friends and drink at a wrestling show.
• 42:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, Japanese wrestling fans do not need the show to be called beer guard and drink at a wrestling show.
• 42:16
  [UNKNOWN]: It will say that there is a lot of heavy drinkers of these shows no matter what they call it.
• 42:22
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, but like, but yeah, it is a, it's a heavy drinking country in general, right?
• 42:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So it kind of makes sense.
• 42:28
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I'd say, you know, it's a very, so those shows where those shows are calling getting to go to those, but yeah, it's just a really, really cool venue.
• 42:37
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like I kind of rambled, but one that I'm, one that I'm going to miss a lot.
• 42:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, and I think even just watching at home, I'm going to miss what I'm seeing at home because it always looked really cool at home and always had amazing acoustics, too.
• 42:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, I think like you provide like a really like a first-hand perspective for someone like me who's never been able to go before and like I'm not going to make it now obviously so yeah just like hearing like the intricacies and stuff like helping people like visualize what it's like when you're there in person is is really interesting.
• 43:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 43:14
  [UNKNOWN]: But just a very, very cool venue, um, when I'm going to miss a lot.
• 43:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, the first show we're going to talk about actually was in Ashenjuku phase.
• 43:22
  [UNKNOWN]: We'll get back to that.
• 43:23
  [UNKNOWN]: The first two shows actually.
• 43:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So first of all, we're going to talk about the all Japan, we're a vote tournament final.
• 43:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, we're going to basically reverse last week.
• 43:31
  [UNKNOWN]: We're going to start with the men's stuff and then we'll do the women's stuff after it.
• 43:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So we're doing a little, uh, misogyny noir, I guess, as a treat here.
• 43:39
  [UNKNOWN]: All Japan were a road tournament semi-files and finals, the first thing we're going to talk about.
• 43:45
  [UNKNOWN]: It is, from this past Tuesday, September 22nd, I fall house of 1,000, 510, so another really strong crowd for all Japan as they've just been doing really strong crowds pretty much all year.
• 43:56
  [UNKNOWN]: They're leading the entire country at Corican in average attendance.
• 44:01
  [UNKNOWN]: And I haven't added my numbers for September yet, but I would be, did another giant sell out here, so they're not gonna fall on the first place, that's for sure.
• 44:09
  [UNKNOWN]: And it makes total sense when you, you know, the quality of promotion, as I've been talking about, I feel like since the Champion Carnival, is so far up from, from the 2025 they had who I thought was pretty horrendous.
• 44:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, to this year where they're one of my favorite emotions in the country.
• 44:27
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, just one of the wrestlers who had an incredible match on this show,
• 44:36
  [UNKNOWN]: you know, is one of the big reasons, as I think I'll get to in a second.
• 44:39
  [UNKNOWN]: The opener, though, with the first of the two, wherever I wrote some of my finals, was Ryuki Honda beating Zion in 906 with the final vent, which is a sort of half-power bound thing.
• 44:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So this was fine.
• 44:52
  [UNKNOWN]: It really wasn't anything that special.
• 44:55
  [UNKNOWN]: As usual for a Zion singles match, it started out decently, but then it devolved in this very boring series of rest holds,
• 45:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I will say the resting didn't go on as long as it didn't some for some other singles matches I've seen him in Honda did break free of his bow and arrow and just ran him down this huge spear before too long so that was good And I started getting into it and then they did a pretty slow and boring strike exchange with way too much standing around
• 45:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but then Honda, you know, hits a nice area.
• 45:26
  [UNKNOWN]: It's put it sideways, power bumping, so yeah, fine little match, three stars didn't like offend me or anything.
• 45:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Gentleman's three stuff, uh, but nothing that's special really.
• 45:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Zion is not bad.
• 45:41
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just his control sequences are very sane and not necessarily compelling.
• 45:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Like you've seen one.
• 45:49
  [UNKNOWN]: He loves that bow and arrow.
• 45:51
  [UNKNOWN]: He loves that bow and arrow hold.
• 45:53
  [UNKNOWN]: And a nerve hold.
• 45:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and a nerve hold.
• 45:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Which I mean, this is something I want to ask you as a wrestling.
• 45:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I don't know, like rest holds.
• 46:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't you get like a more interesting one at least like do I have blockers or something and it looks less boring to me than a bow and arrow or nerve hold
• 46:12
  [UNKNOWN]: see I'm actually a little bit partial to a bow and arrow because I think like not a ton of people are doing bow and arrows these days, but like it was a thing when like I'm sure you remember seeing like in WWE in like the early 2010s ish or like late 2000s.
• 46:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it was a thing from Vince where it's like you had to do like your own variation of like a headlock or a chinlock or something and so you'd see like a bunch of variations of like a half Nelson with like a rear naked choke at the same time or like just something where it was like a chinlock but you're also doing something else at the same time.
• 46:59
  [UNKNOWN]: and so like people like it's kind of gravitated from that like it's it's not the same thing anymore but it's the same principle of just like grabbing a rest hold I guess so like I guess I appreciate the bow and arrow because it's not the same like variation of like a chin lock where I'm also grabbing your arm at the same time that like every TV match in the early 2010s was basically
• 47:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, yeah, like I liked Honda a lot in this match.
• 47:32
  [UNKNOWN]: He's he's been really good.
• 47:33
  [UNKNOWN]: He's been on a good run lately Yeah, Honda was good.
• 47:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Honda was good here.
• 47:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Just Zion Zion Vatches had singles matches festival He doesn't really annoy me as much in tags, but singles matches tend to have a ceiling so
• 47:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and like that's not like an insult to him like he's he's a talented like tag wrestler and I mean havoc is like extremely over in all Japan It's just like yeah, he's not someone like if I was booking I wouldn't want him like in 15-minute plus like matches on every show, but like his his tag matches are good like I think him and Odyssey have like a good chemistry together Yeah
• 48:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we had the other semi-final, which the other semi-final here was an incredible fucking match.
• 48:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, this is one of these episodes where I'm going to get to talk about two, absolutely like match of your level matches in the same episode, which is just, you know, it's crazy when that happens.
• 48:36
  [UNKNOWN]: We give two of them within four days, but this was one of them.
• 48:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, it was you, my area, I get beating you, my on-site in 2138 with the full.
• 48:46
  [UNKNOWN]: to move on to the finals.
• 48:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So before this fast, I didn't want to show it took me like three days to watch it.
• 48:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I was just really, really busy this past week.
• 48:55
  [UNKNOWN]: First of all, I was sick, like I mentioned.
• 48:58
  [UNKNOWN]: But second of all, I was busy with work, like just when I'm really busy time at work.
• 49:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So it took me to like the 25th, I think, before I finally watched it.
• 49:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And I saw Paul, who was on a couple weeks ago, friend of the show from the M.O.
• 49:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Flow show, say that he gave this the full five, and it was his new match in the Eurovoro kind of town of Hashi.
• 49:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So I was like, okay, well, let's see what the fuck this man has in.
• 49:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And when you hear somebody say that, say something like that, you know, you're going in your match to really, really high expectations.
• 49:27
  [UNKNOWN]: And a lot of ways that's harder on the match, right?
• 49:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Cause now's got to live up to like, okay, Paul said, this is a five star match, so let's go, get it up.
• 49:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And like I'm looking for like, you know, I'm ready for this to be a great match and this isn't a great match right from the bell, you know, it's going to be it's going to struggle if you probably, but yeah, this was a great match right from the bell luckily.
• 49:48
  [UNKNOWN]: First of all, the first thing that I have here, I love you, my own eyes, little hopped the rail, then hopped back up, then do a springboard out of the spot.
• 49:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I've talked a lot about being really sick about side-of-the-ring brawling in Japanese wrestling over the last, like, months now I feel like.
• 50:04
  [UNKNOWN]: That is one of the only truly cool, like, inventive spots anyone's doing with this, with this shit.
• 50:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Because everybody gets whipped into these railings, especially in all Japan, people love whipping people to railings and all Japan, New Japan, too.
• 50:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And the way he fucking just hops over, hops back up and does this elbow, it always looks so sick.
• 50:24
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a very, very cool spot.
• 50:27
  [UNKNOWN]: The crowd, I felt like, was more behind Aliyah than Anzai, which was interesting.
• 50:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Anzai was definitely working as the aggressor, so that probably helped, too.
• 50:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Anzai was just, you know, just kind of working them over.
• 50:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Aliyah was able to finally actually send them in the railing as we got the five-minute call, but they've gone back in the railing and then went back out to the floor.
• 50:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, I thought these two were showing really good intensity which helped a lot even though, like I keep saying, I'm pretty over the outside of the wrong rolling.
• 50:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And then Aliyagi, again, as far as, you know, doing something different with these with the brawling, he did this huge guillotine leg drop over the railing, which is another very, you know, unique spot that you don't see every day in the outside brawling.
• 51:09
  [UNKNOWN]: The crowd did search again for onsite too when Aliyagi was back on offense back in the ring, although not quite as all as if for Aliyagi in my opinion.
• 51:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't say Yuma, like I usually just say Yuma, and then, you know,
• 51:26
  [UNKNOWN]: On-site took back over, he eventually hit a running elbow on the corner, and this really nice value of LSU Flexford to account.
• 51:33
  [UNKNOWN]: He kept shutting Ariahy down with these drop kicks every time Ariahy tried to fight back, which, you know, one of these matches were like,
• 51:41
  [UNKNOWN]: What are these things I'm realizing I love about wrestling matches in Japanese wrestling when they have the high and one especially, is I love it when it feels like the wrestler had an actual strategy, right, which you know, or what had a strategy in the match with, uh,
• 51:55
  [UNKNOWN]: with you, Irima, you know, like that was a real strategy when it's going to the head blocks.
• 52:00
  [UNKNOWN]: And here I felt like, you know, you know, I was like, every time this fucker, you know, tries to do anything, I'm going to drop kick them again.
• 52:07
  [UNKNOWN]: And that felt like an actual strategy, the wrestler had in the match.
• 52:12
  [UNKNOWN]: A lot of wrestling matches, especially in 2026.
• 52:15
  [UNKNOWN]: It often just feels like these people are just doing mobs for the sake of doing mobs.
• 52:18
  [UNKNOWN]: And you can't really see what their strategy will be if they were actually doing competing at a real fight.
• 52:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And here you can get into Uma Anzai's head in the can of the match and be like, that was his strategy.
• 52:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Dropkick, dropkick, dropkick, dropkick.
• 52:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Every time this guy tries to do anything, I'm going to dropkick him.
• 52:36
  [UNKNOWN]: So that was the little story of the match.
• 52:38
  [UNKNOWN]: They developed that.
• 52:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I'll be finally managed to score this own nice little drop kick though.
• 52:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Then he hit this right elbow of his own and this great cross body out of the corner when on Zyre versus Iris Webb.
• 52:52
  [UNKNOWN]: He hit this second cross body off the top that wasn't quite as great, but if they get it to account and he won't straighten the front necklock and on Zyre kicked out another spot I love.
• 53:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I love him guys are ready for a guy to kick out and
• 53:03
  [UNKNOWN]: of being able to get a whole going.
• 53:05
  [UNKNOWN]: He briefly got the Armlock 2, which is the end game when he gets the Armlock in the choke.
• 53:10
  [UNKNOWN]: The Ones I was able to just scramble the ropes to break, just great selling by Ones I, Scramble and over.
• 53:15
  [UNKNOWN]: They traded flying elbows in each corner, when they started just dumping each other on the back of their heads with no sold Germans.
• 53:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Before Ones I just run them over this huge flying knee, which is the Ones I flying knee.
• 53:27
  [UNKNOWN]: might be my favorite room resting right now, especially like he always just fucking kills people in it and it always looks like he gets 50 feet of air on it every single time just a great flying knee electric sequence there with both guys down at the end of it.
• 53:42
  [UNKNOWN]: So they stood back up, they traded forums for Aliyah and he had them with another very nice running leaping form against the ropes followed by a really great looking swinging DET off the ropes for two,
• 53:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Then he did an awesome dieting elbow drop up the top of him in a near fall, and again when straight into the front necklock, when Anza kicked out, and a knit picky thing here, which, you know, at this point I'm giving up reasons why I didn't go a full five stars on it, too.
• 54:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I hate the thing, where the guy has a guy, and the guy has another guy in his submission, and just fucking lets them out to go for a pen, just keep your fucking submission on until the fucking guy passes out, like, why let him out to pit him?
• 54:23
  [UNKNOWN]: very very always big there may be a sense to me like so not used to do that every all the time the fucking skull end I never understood it just very weird um but yeah so you let them out of the end game to go for the pants that annoyed me I'm yagi tried to do his cross body out of the corner again but this time onsite was ready and wiped him out with a mid-air flying knee very cool spot
• 54:43
  [UNKNOWN]: They fought the top or on Zay and they're getting a double arm.
• 54:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Suplex off there for a two count.
• 54:48
  [UNKNOWN]: He went for his running knee again, but Ariah, he countered a cradle for a two count.
• 54:52
  [UNKNOWN]: On Zay went for it again, or kicking out for this time.
• 54:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Ariah, he blocked it by catching the knee, hit this awesome spinning high kick, and then a huge ringbuster for another two count.
• 55:03
  [UNKNOWN]: uh, unsight escape determinants who flex attempt dropped airyagans have the sick backup two plugs for two.
• 55:09
  [UNKNOWN]: He went for the power bomb, airyagans escaped as we got the 20 minute call.
• 55:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I missed the 15 minute call and didn't take a note of it.
• 55:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess that's how into it.
• 55:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I was at that point.
• 55:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, I, I, he went for a spin.
• 55:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Hi, take a game on side ducted and just kill him with this short, I'm short range Larry it.
• 55:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Followed by the flying knee attack again for a close near fall.
• 55:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, arms I went for his power while again.
• 55:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I, I, I, I escaped it.
• 55:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Went for a German again, but on side elbow is way out.
• 55:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I, yeah, he dodged the flying knee at his time, fucking killing him with a running Larry it.
• 55:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Hit the German soup flexibility.
• 55:41
  [UNKNOWN]: I've been looking for forever and got two on vent, which stunned me.
• 55:44
  [UNKNOWN]: But then he hit a fisherman's buster and I was like, I could get it again.
• 55:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And then all right, I'll be hitting another one, the fool, and that was finally the pen.
• 55:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, incredible fucking match.
• 55:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Four and three quarter stars for me.
• 55:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I went straight into my match in the year last to which another match, what in this week's episode, went straight into my match in the year, so knock this one down a little bit.
• 56:04
  [UNKNOWN]: But as it currently stands, it's currently ninth place in my top ten for the year.
• 56:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, if you missed this one, absolutely like run, don't walk to watch it.
• 56:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I want to see where it is on cage matches for what they're up before, but yeah, just a really, really awesome show.
• 56:20
  [UNKNOWN]: A really awesome match, I mean, and definitely one that everybody needs to check out as I still offer time while I pull up the cage match of this show.
• 56:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I can tell you what the cage match score is right now.
• 56:31
  [UNKNOWN]: It is asked a nine point 11.
• 56:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, they have a between a four and a half and four and three quarters.
• 56:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So the case match voters not far off from me here, I'll only 27 votes the moment.
• 56:40
  [UNKNOWN]: What did you think of it?
• 56:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Did you have it as you're you close to as high as I am or are you a little lower?
• 56:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I was a little bit lower, but not not significantly, like probably within like a half star quarter star like somewhere in there.
• 56:57
  [UNKNOWN]: To your point of the letting go of a hold to let go for a pin, I will say this is one of Kevin Kelly's greatest contributions to pro wrestling, former wrestling on McCasay alumni Kevin Kelly, by the way, I went back in the archives and listened to that episode and I thought it was fascinating.
• 57:19
  [UNKNOWN]: But him like whenever Suzuki or Sonata would do that where they would let go of their Suzuki would let go of the sleeper or Sonata would let go of the skull end, Kevin Kelly would curse that man from his soul of just being like, you idiot, why are you letting go of the hold or he would explain it with like, oh, Suzuki has such a gall that he thinks that he can go
• 57:48
  [UNKNOWN]: And so I think that's conditioned me as a viewer that whenever I see someone like go to that, I'm like, oh, they're going for their signature hold because they just want to hit their move to win.
• 58:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think that that's a really good contribution from him, because it's conditioned me as an audience member to also think that way.
• 58:12
  [UNKNOWN]: But he didn't go for me, but he just went for a pen.
• 58:15
  [UNKNOWN]: That makes, which makes less sense, I think.
• 58:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I sort of get it though in the sense of like, you think, okay, I've had this hold on long enough, like I can put myself in the mindset of like, okay, I feel like I've got this guy out, like I felt his arm drop or like I feel like he's lifeless.
• 58:36
  [UNKNOWN]: So I know he's not going to kick out of it if I go for a pen.
• 58:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So I might as well just go ahead and do it now to get it over with.
• 58:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess.
• 58:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I don't know if that's just me, like overthinking, but that's how I perceive it.
• 58:52
  [UNKNOWN]: No, like, I thought the match was fantastic.
• 58:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And I don't know if this is like necessarily a
• 59:08
  [UNKNOWN]: the letting go of the hold to go for a pin, but then also like when Anza would kick out and him like immediately transitioning into the front face lock, like when you when you saw Anza kick out, like did you perceive it as him kicking out or did you see it as Ayuyagi letting go of the hold or like letting go of the pin to put him in the hold?
• 59:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I perceived it as, um, as I kicking out, but you have to do this, but do you have to do a defensive disbelief, I guess, because you can easily look at it as like, ah, I get dragging him in the hold.
• 59:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So, it's literally what he's doing, but...
• 59:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like that was like I don't know if it's something that like I thought less of the match, but like when it happened, I'm like, okay, it did Anzei kick out and he's transitioning into the hold to like train get him or was it like, okay, I'm not going to get him on this.
• 1:00:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So I have to grab him and something else.
• 1:00:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it may, it's a little bit unclear, I guess.
• 1:00:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So, and I kinda like it where it's like, if a guy kicks out, I was always taught like when you kick out like kick out very strong, like hold your arm up and like stick out like a tube like on your hand to like show everybody like, yeah, I know that I got out at two, so that way everybody else knows, hey, he got out at two.
• 1:00:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So like I like that kind of like clarity on your kickouts so that way like if you go into the hold it's like, okay, he kicked out, but are like, all right, I got him in the hold now or if you're doing like the other thing of like, I don't think I'm going to get him on this so I'm just going to go for the hold anyways.
• 1:00:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I like more like, pull like snatching him up like a defined kind of movement where it's like, okay, you know, I knew it was going to kick out.
• 1:01:05
  [UNKNOWN]: So like, forget that I'm just going to go for like the front face lock.
• 1:01:09
  [UNKNOWN]: you know, like that kind of clarity, like I think adds like a lot to the match.
• 1:01:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Like specifically when we talk about like the seriism show, the thing that amazed me on that show was like the intentionality, like in everything that they did.
• 1:01:23
  [UNKNOWN]: And so like I would have liked like a little bit more like intentionality or like clarity on that.
• 1:01:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But I mean also like you said like we're kind of like picking ticks off of like a fantastic match that like for some people like in any given year would be the best match are going to see all year so like you know you can't you can't demerited that much but it's just like personal taste.
• 1:01:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Like when it comes down to like something that small, it's like, okay, this is one of the best matches that you're gonna see this year or like of all time.
• 1:01:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, it just comes down to like personal taste with those things.
• 1:02:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, I just, what I loved about it, first of all, you know, this is one of these things where I'm very, I'm very,
• 1:02:13
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I try to be very upfront and transparent about my own biases.
• 1:02:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, these are biases, I should say.
• 1:02:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, this is, you know, my two favorite wrestlers in the company.
• 1:02:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm pretty sure.
• 1:02:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I like Honda a lot too.
• 1:02:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to think who else.
• 1:02:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 1:02:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't really think of anybody else.
• 1:02:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I would like this much.
• 1:02:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I like raceite to a lot.
• 1:02:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't really like as part of that much, but I do, which is funny.
• 1:02:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I like raceite to a lot.
• 1:02:36
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, as far as who I like the most in this company, I think it probably will be these two, but that we are y'all giving one and onsibing two.
• 1:02:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And so it's two buzzers I love, you know, having like an all action fucking back and forth, ever match, which is, you know, a match that I think most people would say that I love.
• 1:02:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, and just the fact that they added in this little story of like, you know, both guys kind of know when each other's super well and, you know, knowing each other's moves and counting each other's signature moves are up to the end.
• 1:03:03
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, it was really cool.
• 1:03:04
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, you had this backstory too of like, oh, yeah, I'd be being too, and I will get into him singles matches and onside being desperate to finally beat him before, you know, obviously not being able to get the job done here.
• 1:03:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I thought this was, everything fully smashed clicked.
• 1:03:18
  [UNKNOWN]: It was one of these matches where like, you know, again, I was coming in with high expectations based on what somebody else had told me and it lived up those expectations.
• 1:03:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So, that says something.
• 1:03:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, just, you know, really outstanding match and definitely want to enjoy the time.
• 1:03:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I did not watch these tags.
• 1:03:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I just realized, did you watch it?
• 1:03:35
  [UNKNOWN]: The tags?
• 1:03:36
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I didn't because final week.
• 1:03:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I was going to tell you beforehand, I always thought the
• 1:03:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Me too.
• 1:03:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I would just read the results for the sake of completion here, but I do not watch any of these.
• 1:03:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry, everybody.
• 1:03:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I've one of the things where, like, I watch the two semifinal matches, like I said, three days late.
• 1:03:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And I was like, I don't want to sit through this fucking text.
• 1:03:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I want to see this final.
• 1:03:58
  [UNKNOWN]: And I fast forward to the final, and then I just realize sitting here, I'm like, oh, wait, I never went back and watched the three tags in between, but I got there, anything that's special on it.
• 1:04:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, first one was June, Psycho, Ray, Psycho, and Nurikidoi, beating, uh, the, uh, two people who have it.
• 1:04:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Odyssey, Mr. Josh, you know, and then also Daisuke Sekimoto, uh, Ray, Psycho, pinned Odyssey in 1954.
• 1:04:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I believe this is what they announced the new member of Havix who's coming in, who is the former Vaughan Wagner, uh, this big NXT dude, I guess.
• 1:04:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, did he actually rush some Divinity proper, I don't even know.
• 1:04:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, I think it was just on NXT, because I remember listening to the Wrestling Observer reading those from like 2020 and here in Von Wagner, like over and over again.
• 1:04:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, who's just the next day?
• 1:04:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, he'll be coming in and there was a real name of Cal Bloom, which is a much less cool name in Von Wagner, who's say like, definitely a lot of the names are stupid, but Von Wagner sounded much better than Cal Bloom.
• 1:04:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So he got a hand to ISIL on that one, I think.
• 1:05:00
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, he has a 3.93 on cage match, so I'm not really expecting not expecting a ton.
• 1:05:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I've never seen this man Russell.
• 1:05:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I have not an XTV or so, you know, but I guess we'll see what he's like.
• 1:05:14
  [UNKNOWN]: He's a 6-5 or whatever.
• 1:05:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I should, he'll fit in while with all Japan when it comes to like, they love their big dudes.
• 1:05:20
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I guess, I guess no one should be very excited from an Inverning standpoint.
• 1:05:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Match 4 was Musashi rising high after and he'll go to a mori, beating Dan Tamura, Stagotachi Bana, and Shota Kofuji, Hayato pinning Kofuji in 1032, and then Match 5 was Deki Suzuki Goshiyozaki, Timothy Batcher, and Yasutaku Yano.
• 1:05:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Beating a Kindomeahara, Ren Ayabe, Kuma Rashi, and Heal Gala.
• 1:05:52
  [UNKNOWN]: It was Thatcher, Subbedding Ayabe in 1226, so they'd food you our own bar.
• 1:05:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, the tournament final was Ryuki Honda defeating Yuma Ariagi and 2533 to become the winner of the 13th Odo tournament, the youngest winner in history at 26 years and 7 months all at the point of the right there on the website.
• 1:06:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, he had been to the finals of this at least once before looking it up now, actually.
• 1:06:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, he, oh no, that's that's the whole thing.
• 1:06:25
  [UNKNOWN]: He even did the final three years at a row.
• 1:06:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Excuse me.
• 1:06:29
  [UNKNOWN]: The Odo 2021-23 he lost in the finals two to two.
• 1:06:34
  [UNKNOWN]: She could Gina, the Odo 2021-24.
• 1:06:36
  [UNKNOWN]: He lost in the finals to Red Aiabe and the Odo tournament last year.
• 1:06:40
  [UNKNOWN]: He lost in the finals of course, Ken Joviahara.
• 1:06:43
  [UNKNOWN]: He went on to win the triple final.
• 1:06:45
  [UNKNOWN]: He's still the triple crime champion today from that off of that tournament win.
• 1:06:49
  [UNKNOWN]: this year he beats Kento back in the in this the quarter finals and yeah he goes on here and wins this tournament finally he beats your Maori Aggie who I don't I don't think you might ever win this tournament has me maybe yes let's say
• 1:07:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, because he won the Champion Card on 2022, he won the real one tag league in 2020.
• 1:07:11
  [UNKNOWN]: No, he's never won this thing.
• 1:07:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, this might have been his first final ever, even let me say, Odo 2019, no, Odo 2021, no.
• 1:07:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, he's everything in the final.
• 1:07:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So this is his first final.
• 1:07:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, so we, we're going to have a first time one in a matter of what,
• 1:07:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, it disliked the crowd was pretty solid behind Honda, which makes sense again, given that he had, you know, lost the fastest thing for years and row.
• 1:07:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I didn't think the fact had the most exciting start, especially after how the Umo War went so hard pretty much right from the beginning.
• 1:07:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, and I don't love it.
• 1:07:50
  [UNKNOWN]: They both did the, you know, one, two, three, four choking stuff to each other and a fucking major tournament final like this.
• 1:07:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, you know, I'm fine with cooving this in my wrestling.
• 1:07:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not like, uh, I'm not Joe Lanzo over here, you know.
• 1:08:01
  [UNKNOWN]: but like I do need to be appropriate for the time in the place like this felt like coagled by doing the kuma shit in fucking five star matches or title matches even you know all over again just you know um and then sadly they fucked up the cork prospering a corner spot like just boxed it very badly um Aoyagi kind of tripped up on the turmbuckle honnetside a charge instead of waiting and Aoyagi did a sea and still tried to leap up so they just end up
• 1:08:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, I mean, at least he could move right on to a nice powder of Mary Aggie for a two count, uh, followed by going straight in the front of that clock, the moment home to kick down.
• 1:08:39
  [UNKNOWN]: What is that before I keep going with the play by play?
• 1:08:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Have you, I guess a while, it's kind of a mean question.
• 1:08:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Have you ever screwed anything up that badly?
• 1:08:46
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, so like, what is it?
• 1:08:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sure the feeling must be awful.
• 1:08:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh God, I'm trying to think about the worst thing I ever screwed up.
• 1:08:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I, uh,
• 1:08:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess I've never felt like time is standing still in a match, like...
• 1:09:08
  [UNKNOWN]: It's tough because like I've never had somebody so into my match as as people were like into this one So like it was so forgiving too like they didn't give a shit They just they just let them keep going basically they did not go there's not like any obviously Japanese products don't can't you fuck that or anything but like sometimes you'll get like a big botched everybody Like you can tell we'll air that out didn't give a fuck They were like okay.
• 1:09:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Keep going you know Well if you're selling post
• 1:09:35
  [UNKNOWN]: The unfortunate thing about that one was Ayoyagi hit like a really pretty looking DDT out of it Like they almost saved it.
• 1:09:44
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just Honda needed to sell the DDT once you took it But then like he knows sold it and then just kind of went into like a full mound after that
• 1:09:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's like, I don't know, I completely understand it because when you're in a moment where something fucks up, like you're not thinking straight, but like when you're looking at it from the outside, you're like, dude, you just took like the prettiest looking DDT out of a botch, like just sell that shit and like lay down for a minute.
• 1:10:14
  [UNKNOWN]: But like, you know, he was disoriented so he wasn't thinking that way.
• 1:10:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So, that's, I guess that's what made it like, looks so bad.
• 1:10:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Because like, Ayoyagi would have saved it if Honda hadn't like, no sold the DDT and like, gone into like the four arms on the ground.
• 1:10:33
  [UNKNOWN]: But I also understand like that's kind of what you're taught of like if you don't think it looks good like take control of the situation and like just start trading shots or like you start giving shots and if the guy gives into you then like okay give him a couple and then like move on and do you know what you need to do to get things back on track so that's kind of like what he did like he just ate a really nice DDT and then just you know continued on
• 1:11:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so just, you know, it kind of like, they just like you said, they're just kind of going, and the crowd just kind of forgave them anyway.
• 1:11:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's not a big deal.
• 1:11:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, now this wasn't their fault.
• 1:11:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, they fought the Abraham and we got a big sport of Mahonda that sounded great.
• 1:11:21
  [UNKNOWN]: But unfortunately, the cameraman totally fucking missed the move.
• 1:11:25
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like, what do you do, Mr. cameraman?
• 1:11:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, you're killing us here, the wrestlers did their own Bosch.
• 1:11:29
  [UNKNOWN]: It's 10 wrestlers in Bajay.
• 1:11:30
  [UNKNOWN]: They you Bosch it fucking cameraman.
• 1:11:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, now it did feel like you got on course again.
• 1:11:36
  [UNKNOWN]: They traded big elbows back at the ring through the 10 minute call.
• 1:11:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we got a big bomb throwing no sell sequence and ended with a sauce and layer of mohonda.
• 1:11:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, unfortunately, oh, I think this might have been the one you were to know, maybe it was on.
• 1:11:50
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like another boss file, but they like supposed to do a Japanese like we're off the ropes and that one they repeated, although I guess they put something else in between the repeat.
• 1:11:57
  [UNKNOWN]: But then we're actually not the almost blue, this one you need to heat up the ropes, although the weird way they managed to save it, it also looked sick as hell because like you may argue just rock in my nose head, like straight down instead to save it, oh my okay.
• 1:12:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but that everything after this was awesome, great counter to spear by Honda, where you will roll straight into the front mech lock, very smooth looking.
• 1:12:20
  [UNKNOWN]: He struggled for a bit before finally getting the arm lock behind him for the full endgame, crowd is losing their shit, Honda was able to just kind of suddenly leap for the ropes with one of the cooler rope rigs I've seen a while, and the crowd is like more split than ever just changing for both guys, which was amazing atmosphere.
• 1:12:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Honda came back with a superplex off the top.
• 1:12:37
  [UNKNOWN]: You may know sold it.
• 1:12:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Then you walked right into an exploded for a super close near fall.
• 1:12:42
  [UNKNOWN]: You might duck to Lariat, hit his own usualariat, then hit a German superplex hole per two count.
• 1:12:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You went for the Fisherman's Buster, but Honda escaped.
• 1:12:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So you may hit a spinning high kick, which wasn't as good as the one he had against the other humor.
• 1:12:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Earlier, more of a glancing blow, but one error.
• 1:12:58
  [UNKNOWN]: that guy too count that he hit the fool hit the finish fisherman's buster behind the kick that again and yeah the closing the entire closing stretch here they they started doing so much side couldn't keep track anymore they traded some more bombs very nice back job super come on the uh then Honda couldn't get you gonna go down these two big laryots he hit you will stay on his feet uh human and hit this big running form against the ropes and human and duct another laryot before Honda flocking killed him
• 1:13:27
  [UNKNOWN]: After they both bounced off the ropes again with another enormous layer yet, and then he hit the giant final vent power bond for the pen and the tournament went.
• 1:13:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, well, these ones of the matches were like, however I've read this.
• 1:13:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I had two enormous matches, the early part was a little boring, but the entire end of it was so fucking great.
• 1:13:46
  [UNKNOWN]: And the, you know, as one of these matches were like, be having the crowd so into it, probably saved it more than anything.
• 1:13:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I ended up going for a flat.
• 1:13:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I just think it felt, I can't go higher than that, given, you know, the issues, but I just would have felt stupid going lower.
• 1:14:01
  [UNKNOWN]: And K is not just kind of with me, they have about 7.80.
• 1:14:04
  [UNKNOWN]: So pretty much, pretty much, you know, for about four stars.
• 1:14:07
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, that's where I look going when I end up going for a fly on it.
• 1:14:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So I still really enjoy it, even though I had it to issues.
• 1:14:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So.
• 1:14:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, I'm about at the same place.
• 1:14:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, like you said, like they had the botches, but they did roll through with it pretty well.
• 1:14:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Like it wasn't like, in the moment it was bad, but like they recovered well from it, and it didn't seem to like throught the structure of the rest of the match.
• 1:14:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Which like, to me, that's the,
• 1:14:37
  [UNKNOWN]: that like as a wrestler that is like my worst case scenario is like if we if we're doing something and you go for a move that we weren't supposed to get to like until three or four minutes later
• 1:14:56
  [UNKNOWN]: or like something happens that like it completely throws off the structure of everything and then we have to figure out like okay I know where I'm at I know where we're supposed to be but are we jumping like four minutes ahead because that's where we were supposed to do at that time or are we just gonna like reverse things and go back to like where we were you know before that
• 1:15:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, so I think they handled that really well, um, like you said, I think my,
• 1:15:29
  [UNKNOWN]: One of my negatives on the match was like what you were talking about with Honda doing the choke spots, which are done for comedy, you know, the 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, clap, clap, you know, pose, like I love that spot, and like I think you can do that in a serious match, and I wouldn't have necessarily had a problem with Honda doing it in this match except for the fact that he didn't do it in the previous match was Zion.
• 1:15:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And so when you do something like that over and over again it becomes like a point of focus when you don't do it because it's like okay like you're being serious at this point and so for him to not do it during the semi finals but then do it during the finals feels like reversed because I would rather him have done it like in the semi finals where it's like
• 1:16:23
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, okay, it's another night at the office and then you get to the to the final match and you're like, okay, this is the big match.
• 1:16:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't be silly anymore.
• 1:16:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I have to, you know, lock in.
• 1:16:33
  [UNKNOWN]: And so for him to do it in this match, it kind of felt like a regression a little bit.
• 1:16:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I was almost surprised that he won because for him to not take it seriously, but then still win, felt a little bit off versus if he was serious in the finals, but not necessarily as serious in the semi-finals.
• 1:16:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 1:16:58
  [UNKNOWN]: So you just say,
• 1:17:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, but overall, you know, a great tournament, I would say.
• 1:17:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know how you feel about it, but I think it was a really good tournament overall.
• 1:17:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I really enjoyed Factor's stuff in the opening rounds.
• 1:17:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I haven't seen like a Timothy Factor match.
• 1:17:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I think the last one I would have seen was like 2023-ish.
• 1:17:24
  [UNKNOWN]: And there was like a long gap in between then.
• 1:17:27
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I'm not seeing this stuff like super regularly, but I enjoyed having like Factor in the tournament.
• 1:17:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I was in the hand to be honest,
• 1:17:38
  [UNKNOWN]: The anti-match was like fantastic.
• 1:17:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I love that match.
• 1:17:45
  [UNKNOWN]: yeah it was nice seeing him back um yeah it was a good turn but overall like i think my first like really introduction to like following all japan regularly was around this time last year because that was around the first time that i came on oma kasei so i was like okay like i got to watch and you know keep up with the the day-to-day stuff
• 1:18:08
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, it feels like it's been a real highlight the last two years.
• 1:18:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like they've really brought it.
• 1:18:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Like the tournaments have been good.
• 1:18:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the other last year, I'd been not liking until the final night.
• 1:18:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I remember the earlier rounds I didn't really like.
• 1:18:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But the final night, I remember being really good.
• 1:18:28
  [UNKNOWN]: And then this year, I thought the tournament had a much better run overall.
• 1:18:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I'm trying to, I think I had quite a few matches on my spread, on my quote unquote note book.
• 1:18:37
  [UNKNOWN]: I just want to go through it now.
• 1:18:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so the first round, I had them, but while they were this match, Kentomiahara, Yolkawa from the 9th, just an awesome 10-minute sprint to the match.
• 1:18:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I also really liked Yumaayaki and Jutsito from the 13th in the first round.
• 1:18:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Ruki Honda and Kentomiahara in the quarter final, some Shinkiba.
• 1:18:57
  [UNKNOWN]: go she was acting right I have it in the first round and I'll be see the semi final final we talked about today.
• 1:19:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So six matches in my notebook.
• 1:19:05
  [UNKNOWN]: There's not bad at all for a you know a single elimination tournament that's not very long.
• 1:19:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Interestingly, I think you told me you know off air that you're watching me know and one this year right.
• 1:19:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So I tried and then like called up to me.
• 1:19:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And I've already done this thing much.
• 1:19:24
  [UNKNOWN]: It was both, I was gonna get to.
• 1:19:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so like that was the thing is I watched, I think like the first four, maybe five nights.
• 1:19:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And I was like, this is okay, but like it's not like incredible.
• 1:19:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And I just kind of came to a point where I'm like, my life is so busy now.
• 1:19:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I hate to say it, but like to sort of like mid-level wrestling, like it wasn't bad, like nothing is bad, it's just like I had to make choices, like the last two years, like I haven't missed a single-in-one match in like three years, like I started watching in like 2024 and I watched like the whole tournament, I might have even watched all of like 2023's tournament.
• 1:20:15
  [UNKNOWN]: and like I've enjoyed all of it and so like part of me feels guilty because like I wanted to watch like the whole thing but then I got to this point where I'm like
• 1:20:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't have enough time to devote to this because the wrestling's good, but it's just not great.
• 1:20:33
  [UNKNOWN]: And there's a lot of great wrestling out there.
• 1:20:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And I just want to watch like great wrestling.
• 1:20:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:20:39
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I remember having exact feeling last year where it was like everything, it felt like everything peaked at like three and a half stars.
• 1:20:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm like, come on, I see a three and a half crore.
• 1:20:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I can see a three and a half star match.
• 1:20:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, we have a bed in 2025, you know.
• 1:20:52
  [UNKNOWN]: You could put this dynamite and get one of those.
• 1:20:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I always say don't do that, but you can watch any fucking startup house show and you'll probably just get like, you know, a steady diet of three to half star matches.
• 1:21:08
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like, there's no need to watch and fall along with a whole tournament where you're getting, you know, three to half is the peak.
• 1:21:13
  [UNKNOWN]: It just doesn't make any sense.
• 1:21:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know,
• 1:21:20
  [UNKNOWN]: tournament that had like over four stars for the final night, which is like down this is way too few so
• 1:21:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I did see like one incredibly stupid looking finish from the tournament with a, uh, fucking Mr. Faces, uh, Kai Fuji mora grabbing the legs of, uh, I think it was, uh, what the fuck was it, what's it can now?
• 1:21:39
  [UNKNOWN]: It might have been can now.
• 1:21:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Just grabbing this guy's legs during this match against Masa, Kit and Mia, and like holding on to him and making, and looking, making faces like he's fucking humping ever something I can't remember.
• 1:21:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Like you gotta see the fact, you have to fit see it, honestly, to believe it.
• 1:21:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um,
• 1:21:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, I just incredibly bad finish and yeah, I'll tell you if I see Yoshi Todd's to grab one more man's leg in my life.
• 1:22:05
  [UNKNOWN]: It'll be too much I'm so sick of that
• 1:22:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I just like, I don't know, somehow they've, we're going to talk about a new Japan show with like really one match with significant interference and even then I wouldn't even, they were like, maybe one other one with like, there's very insignificant interference and like, I don't know, that's the most I want to deal with.
• 1:22:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I do not want to deal with, you know, interference happening all over the place, which sounds like it's happening in the end one right now.
• 1:22:35
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just, you know, I don't know, no one's really writing about it.
• 1:22:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I was originally going to cover it, but like I just decided it for a second to cut it.
• 1:22:42
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm like, yeah, I don't, I do not regret that decision.
• 1:22:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Because we don't have to come up like five shows this week or something from the end one.
• 1:22:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I remember correctly.
• 1:22:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Based on how the schedule worked out, I'm just like, thank God we didn't do that.
• 1:22:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, yo, I don't like, I feel like all Japan and know I have this fucking deal like only one of them to be good at a time or something.
• 1:23:00
  [UNKNOWN]: It's very funny.
• 1:23:01
  [UNKNOWN]: It's all Japan right now, for sure.
• 1:23:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I mean, what it came down to going this year, because all Japan move their, or no, I move their show, but they're, they're not working.
• 1:23:16
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, we'll not, they're not writing their normal January 1st, Budakon Show, and instead they're writing December 31st in Yokohama, up against Yaja Pansha, like, that's not even a fucking choice at this point.
• 1:23:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, that is, I went and bought the tickets for Yaja Pansha, so fucking fast, because it's not even, you know, all those stupid motions.
• 1:23:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And fucking, my favorite rest of our ever is the champion of the Noah, of Noah right now, but it's just like, it's still not, you know, it's still not a choice at all.
• 1:23:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So, in 2026, that one, all Japan.
• 1:23:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um, but yeah, this is your Odo tournament.
• 1:23:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's keep going then.
• 1:23:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's go over to, well, let's do what's coming up for all Japan.
• 1:23:56
  [UNKNOWN]: So, all Japan, a little bit of a break, but not that big of a break.
• 1:23:59
  [UNKNOWN]: They're back, uh, this series actually on October 3rd from Saitama, uh,
• 1:24:05
  [UNKNOWN]: like they spread out there, some of their bigger matches on this tour.
• 1:24:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So this one has a junior title match, Dan Tamara going for a second defense of junior title, again, second Yoshiyoka, who is the winner of these NHG Junior FAFSA over the last year.
• 1:24:19
  [UNKNOWN]: That's really the only match of no on this show, but it is definitely going to watch that junior title match at least.
• 1:24:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So that is coming up this Saturday.
• 1:24:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we have Sunday, October 11th, so the fall
• 1:24:34
  [UNKNOWN]: a week from Sunday after that, that had a show in Sunday, at least Sunday, some flaws a whole, where we have two titles, or the free title message, excuse me.
• 1:24:43
  [UNKNOWN]: So, Masaki Mochizuki is defending his keyover TV title for the first time, unfortunately, against Yashiyaki Diano, should be not all watched that.
• 1:24:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um,
• 1:24:52
  [UNKNOWN]: The all age attack tails are going to be determined.
• 1:24:57
  [UNKNOWN]: The vacant, all age attack tails are going to be determined with Dantamura and Sagatachi Bala.
• 1:25:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Dekiyama, Risaashi, and Sekiyoshiyoka, and the world tag titles, this match is one I'm very excited for.
• 1:25:09
  [UNKNOWN]: The Saito brothers make their third defense against the Yuma's, Yuma, Ariagia, and Yuma on Zai.
• 1:25:16
  [UNKNOWN]: That could be fucking awesome.
• 1:25:18
  [UNKNOWN]: that is definitely one-to-circle and check out these cytos in their hometown or home prefecturalist.
• 1:25:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Again, you maryaggy and humans, I come together here after they're semi-pile mash, so that is exciting.
• 1:25:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, there's a couple more shows after that that we don't, the 12th on the Monday in Iwate, there's nothing of note, uh, the 15th, it's the Thursday and Shinki, but there's nothing announced yet period, uh, but then the 22nd, October 22nd is the big show of the tour, uh, the founding founding anniversary series tour.
• 1:25:52
  [UNKNOWN]: That is a Thursday, October 22nd from Corrican, and that show has a kind of basically one match show, but the one match is a big one.
• 1:25:59
  [UNKNOWN]: It's kind of a Mihara facing Ryoki Honda for the triple crown title, make going for his tenth defense, which would tie the record, I think.
• 1:26:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Right?
• 1:26:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Think that's where we're at with this.
• 1:26:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I think so, yeah.
• 1:26:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just looking at that right now to make sure.
• 1:26:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, because the current record,
• 1:26:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, the current record is 10, which is held by both Toshyaki Kawata and Kento Miyahara in his 2018 title reign, 2018, 2019 title reign.
• 1:26:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So Kento can tie himself and also Kawata, I think he's gonna do it.
• 1:26:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I think he's gonna pretend.
• 1:26:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't, you know, Honda's big one was Winnie the Odo, I don't think he was one of the triple crowns here.
• 1:26:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I think ultimately they're gonna have break this record before he loses the title this time, I think.
• 1:26:43
  [UNKNOWN]: But I guess we'll say, what do you think?
• 1:26:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Are you just gonna think we're gonna have a starting title change here?
• 1:26:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I don't know, I, like, I guess I'm still kind of figuring out how to gauge algebra pan.
• 1:26:57
  [UNKNOWN]: And like, I think the, the stronger main event for like, the end of the year would be a kind of title offense.
• 1:27:08
  [UNKNOWN]: But maybe, maybe I'm sorry, okay.
• 1:27:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 1:27:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 1:27:14
  [UNKNOWN]: It's tough.
• 1:27:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess it just all depends on like what you think like the long-term goal is of like kinto breaking the record or tying the record.
• 1:27:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Because I could see a world where like Honda beats him and then like kinto's trying to chase the record or something.
• 1:27:31
  [UNKNOWN]: But I can also see a world where like okay we just need like a big
• 1:27:36
  [UNKNOWN]: you know, end of your main event where it's like, kind of trying to break the record.
• 1:27:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So I guess that's kind of exciting in a way.
• 1:27:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Like you don't know fully like what the goal is or you know what the long term thing is.
• 1:27:48
  [UNKNOWN]: When I think I tease this earlier and I don't think I actually pay off, but like when you look at, they're all depend the year they're having.
• 1:27:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Versus the year they had 2025, but it was quite bad.
• 1:28:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I think the obvious biggest change, and there's a few different changes, so I'm not want to oversimplify it, but the obvious biggest change is that you might already, you know, he got in that trouble, you know, with the law towards the end of last year, where he was driving me out of license and got an accident, he was suspended from all Japan for, I think it was 60 days, maybe it was 90 or something around that, and he was gone for a while.
• 1:28:26
  [UNKNOWN]: And when he came back, you know, he had gotten so goofy before he left, right?
• 1:28:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Like he and his matches have become super, super comedy.
• 1:28:35
  [UNKNOWN]: This was a guy who was my favorite restaurant on Japan, you know, maybe maybe you might have been jakely for the long term, but honestly probably was jakely for a long term.
• 1:28:44
  [UNKNOWN]: But like he, I've always been jakely defender, I guess.
• 1:28:48
  [UNKNOWN]: But, you know, one of my favorite wrestlers in all Japan, and he had gotten so goofy before he left that he was a guy that I started actively hating the watch because he just wasn't doing anything interesting.
• 1:29:01
  [UNKNOWN]: All he would do was just make his jokes and make his weird noises and make raceito on commentary, diet last for every time, but just wasn't very funny to me.
• 1:29:10
  [UNKNOWN]: and he just was never having bangers anymore and never having really good serious matches.
• 1:29:14
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm not saying the guy's always going to have goofy energy, right?
• 1:29:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Like that's just kind of part of his, you know, part of his deal.
• 1:29:19
  [UNKNOWN]: He's a goofy guy I assume in real life, too.
• 1:29:21
  [UNKNOWN]: And he still has that goofy energy since returning, but he actually fucking wrestles again.
• 1:29:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, he actually has great matches again.
• 1:29:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And that to me, like he's got from being a guy who became this weird black hole on the roster to being another super high-end guy in a promotion that's not huge, like from a number of wives in a roster anyway.
• 1:29:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So you go from being like that shift of his is so important in this promotion.
• 1:29:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Because now you go, you add him to Kento Mihara to Yuma Anzai, you know,
• 1:29:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Go Shiosaki comes back and it's really good.
• 1:29:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, Rene Ayave is look like he's improving.
• 1:30:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, you know, I mean, like race site, I didn't like the other big problem 25, 25 was June site.
• 1:30:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Those singles title ring was not very good in my opinion, but they're much better as a tag team.
• 1:30:10
  [UNKNOWN]: That's a tag team, they're quite good.
• 1:30:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, they start to have some, and the children are not, show to our Ash, you know, is really good too, but they never put you.
• 1:30:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, you put all that, again, they start to have some actual depth again.
• 1:30:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Ryokihon, I didn't even mention, we won the Odo and he, he's with a guy that can be goofy sometimes, but can also be really good.
• 1:30:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, they start to have a nice little collection of guys and, you know, they've gone from promotion that just didn't have any death in their heavyweight division to a promotion that does have some real depth again and can actually match these guys up and do different things.
• 1:30:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So that was a big big deal as the call comes in here and pokes me in the cheek.
• 1:30:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Johnson's high.
• 1:30:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, she's just she gave a little nod.
• 1:30:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I should leave her.
• 1:30:54
  [UNKNOWN]: You can tell me here right next up to poke me You usually have a thing to tell me or something.
• 1:30:58
  [UNKNOWN]: No, okay, he's came out of poke me and she's staying completely silent for some reason.
• 1:31:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay
• 1:31:05
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I was a, you know, just a much deeper roster with you, man.
• 1:31:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I can hear and I'm much better roster with you, man.
• 1:31:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I can hear and being like a serious wrestler, I mean, he was such a big factor about championing carnival that again, I don't think people, I don't know how many people remember this and take, I forget about it sometimes.
• 1:31:21
  [UNKNOWN]: He was not even a resource to be in it.
• 1:31:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Like his punishment, part of his punch was to be missing that championing carnival.
• 1:31:26
  [UNKNOWN]: He only got in it because, uh, what's his name?
• 1:31:29
  [UNKNOWN]: The fucking
• 1:31:31
  [UNKNOWN]: God I can't remember this guy's name now.
• 1:31:33
  [UNKNOWN]: He's a foreigner, a big, big dude.
• 1:31:37
  [UNKNOWN]: You're supposed to be in it and then you pod the pull out.
• 1:31:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, uh, the Cyrus.
• 1:31:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank you, Cyrus.
• 1:31:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I was about to try to look it up.
• 1:31:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Cyrus had to pull out for some reason.
• 1:31:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, God bless Cyrus.
• 1:31:49
  [UNKNOWN]: The upgrade from him to 2026 actually gives a shit about wrestling again, you Maui Agui, or trying to make up for his past crimes or whatever, you Maui Agui, was gigantic upgrade.
• 1:32:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So, definitely made that torment much, much better.
• 1:32:04
  [UNKNOWN]: And again, here has an incredible match in the semi-file Odo.
• 1:32:07
  [UNKNOWN]: All Japan's match of the year pretty easily for me.
• 1:32:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, just, yeah, he just really changed all Japan by doing this.
• 1:32:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, again, their year has, it's funny to think of the fact that you might argue getting pulled over and somewhere in Japan behind the wheel without license or getting an accident whatever it was is a butterfly effect that saved this motion, but it kind of feels like it was.
• 1:32:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So, which I feel like I can make those jokes because I didn't
• 1:32:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Anything else to say about all the big of the receipts matches for this cork and there are some things actually some interesting stuff Suama in goeshiosaki versus Kendo Mashimondeski Sekimoto The the Gajadokuro comes back here for a six-band tag You may argue you my Anzai and run Ayabai versus Medokyutikuta ishi and Yoshiki Kato That makes me wonder if Ayagi and Anzai are gonna win the titles and then go on to face ishi and Kato
• 1:33:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Or maybe you should kind of be the world tagly of the real world tagly, guess we'll say.
• 1:33:14
  [UNKNOWN]: then the match with the debuting cow bloom I talked about earlier so he is joining Odyssey so Zion Odyssey or he's joining havoc I mean so Zion Odyssey Ashino and Bloom against the site of brothers Nerdy Dory and Sinior Saito and then yeah there's Hadekizuki versus vertical Fuji and other eight men tag with the juniors Musashi Yoshiyoka Hayato and Yana against Timura Tashi Bana Hoko-do and
• 1:33:42
  [UNKNOWN]: See, I'm not the most exciting undercard there, but some decent stuff, honestly, I mean, that God should do occur those six men could be really good, actually.
• 1:33:50
  [UNKNOWN]: They seem to be better in all Japan and they are in their actual promotion, so.
• 1:33:55
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, and you find out all Japan thoughts for every lower than New Japan?
• 1:33:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Nothing specific, just they're rolling on, you know?
• 1:34:05
  [UNKNOWN]: In some ways, I feel like they're kind of missing the boat on Anzai.
• 1:34:10
  [UNKNOWN]: They need to do something with him because it feels like they brought in like a lot of new fans just because of him and him being on the bachelor in Japan.
• 1:34:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So it feels like they need to give him something and it feels strange that they have it so far.
• 1:34:25
  [UNKNOWN]: So I feel like they need to kind of get on that.
• 1:34:29
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, like even if it's the tag titles or something like that, just something to pay off that investment of like new people that are checking out the promotion.
• 1:34:38
  [UNKNOWN]: The Swedish girls need something guys.
• 1:34:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Come on.
• 1:34:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Exactly.
• 1:34:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Because like we as like regular wrestling fans are conditioned to the heartbreak of your favorites losing all the fucking time.
• 1:34:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Exactly, and new people are not going to understand that immediately.
• 1:34:59
  [UNKNOWN]: They're not going to feel that.
• 1:35:01
  [UNKNOWN]: And if you keep beating him long enough, they're not going to have any faith in him anymore.
• 1:35:06
  [UNKNOWN]: And so you've got to give him a little something to hold on to in the meantime.
• 1:35:11
  [UNKNOWN]: So I wish that they would get on that, but I mean outside of that, I mean it feels like they're doing great overall.
• 1:35:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Every wrestling fan is a little bit of a massacone state that just me so we all we all tune in for the pain of getting our our faiths getting beat repeatedly Let's feel like I know caught a fan or something like I just wouldn't every time, so You know I guess those those are not massacans, right?
• 1:35:35
  [UNKNOWN]: The people who just picked whoever to ace the company is like, that's my favorite So I guess you're gonna be real happy then
• 1:35:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, those are like the fans of like Alabama in college, but it's like, okay, like you're just picking the ace you're you're just going with the team that you know it's going to win 10 out of 12 games every year like you're you're not really a fan you just want to be a part of the club exactly.
• 1:36:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I always joke when a lot of my friends were Yankees fans who live in New York, like also became like Manchester United fans back when they were one all the time, like you guys can't pick Manchester United, like that's bullshit.
• 1:36:13
  [UNKNOWN]: You can't, you're okay, you're Yankees fans who live in New York, fine, I guess, but like you can't just be like, oh, you know what I'm gonna pick?
• 1:36:20
  [UNKNOWN]: The team that was on time in soccer too.
• 1:36:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, no, you can't do that.
• 1:36:24
  [UNKNOWN]: But now, now you never win anything, so I guess they did
• 1:36:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, let's go over to Shinyong for Destruction in Kobe, Sunday September 27th in Kobe World Hall.
• 1:36:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I did not really enjoy the show until the main event, which we'll get to here.
• 1:36:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, there was one tag much on the other card I liked, but there was a lot of stuff in the show I was not very into.
• 1:36:49
  [UNKNOWN]: This show did a attendance of 4,870, so almost 200 people from last year, which was 4,672,
• 1:37:01
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, it's been up every year, basically since 2023, it did 4,000 to 12 that year for Yospery Surgey Maine, it did 4,528 in 2024 for Nitro Rido Khan, then did 4672 for Zach and Narita and then 4870 this year.
• 1:37:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, of course, you still have to, if you go pre-pandemic, it did 6148 in 2019 very nature, white made events, so that was still a different world in the New Japan
• 1:37:30
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I mean, it's been up every year and this is another good crowd here for these suit you go to a man.
• 1:37:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So I can't, I'm sure they were happy with this crowd.
• 1:37:38
  [UNKNOWN]: The show opened with Shota Ubino, both in Oleg, eldest Rado, Mystico, and Toriano, beating Renderita, Sonata, Doki, Showa, and Diktogo.
• 1:37:49
  [UNKNOWN]: It was Shota Ubino,
• 1:37:54
  [UNKNOWN]: uh, yano for people.
• 1:37:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, so I haven't talked about these matches.
• 1:37:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Did you see those uh, there was a tag match in Hokkaido, which was a yano in Makabe against, um, the knockout brothers and on four contenders of tag titles.
• 1:38:08
  [UNKNOWN]: That match was fucking incredible.
• 1:38:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I get a not review it on this podcast because I, I didn't watch it until like two or three weeks after it happened.
• 1:38:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, I would give that four and a half stars.
• 1:38:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought that match was like,
• 1:38:20
  [UNKNOWN]: better than probably anything on the show, only the main event will come close really.
• 1:38:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I give them the same rating.
• 1:38:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, just incredible fucking brawl, but coming in, y'all know, turn back the clock.
• 1:38:32
  [UNKNOWN]: And one of those matches were like, all the interference actually worked, and actually add to the match.
• 1:38:36
  [UNKNOWN]: It was just a great throwback, a very enjoyable match.
• 1:38:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, first of all, did you see it?
• 1:38:45
  [UNKNOWN]: And second, I don't know, did you agree?
• 1:38:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Or you want to be people that thought it was just too much?
• 1:38:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I watched it like a couple hours after it happened, and I hadn't been following the road two shows, so I didn't have the context of what we were going to get in that match.
• 1:39:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And so yeah, like the rest of my day I just thought about it of just like, oh my god, like this might have been the best yano match ever or like at least the best yano match that I've ever seen and I was just not expecting it like I was totally thrown off guard.
• 1:39:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, that match was fantastic.
• 1:39:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, you don't have the funniest thing.
• 1:39:27
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm sure I've fucking heard at the time that user came out because I'm sure we're gonna write it on a discord or on Twitter or something.
• 1:39:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I waited so long to watch that match.
• 1:39:38
  [UNKNOWN]: By the time it happened, I totally forgot about it.
• 1:39:40
  [UNKNOWN]: It's one of his things on hand.
• 1:39:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I popped in my room like, yeah, I fucking isn't cause here.
• 1:39:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Great bash, yo baby.
• 1:39:46
  [UNKNOWN]: and he does the fucking tens on chaps too, which was great.
• 1:39:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Because the tens on chaps, it was like a double, it was like a double shiver, because obviously they did with all makeup during tens of times retirement that you won't find out which was great.
• 1:39:58
  [UNKNOWN]: But on top of that, tens of times you've reached a leader of great basheel, which I haven't even know how many people know that.
• 1:40:03
  [UNKNOWN]: because he got turned on by McCabe and all that which is funny because obviously the McCabe got turned on by the entire rest of the stable, which then to join up with Nakamura and Sarm Chaos.
• 1:40:12
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, he tensed on was he originally to the stable too.
• 1:40:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So that was just really funny.
• 1:40:16
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like a big big big big baschial tribute.
• 1:40:19
  [UNKNOWN]: We had that mattress fantastic.
• 1:40:20
  [UNKNOWN]: The other I didn't watch for the any of the tour either.
• 1:40:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I just watched these two matches because everybody recommended them.
• 1:40:25
  [UNKNOWN]: The other match I can recommend if you if you were anybody else missed it.
• 1:40:28
  [UNKNOWN]: The second core can let me get the exact date.
• 1:40:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So you give this to people.
• 1:40:32
  [UNKNOWN]: The second Corrican show had a main event September 10th of Rehoja, Rehoja, Rehoja, and Cosepa Gdug, it's Aaron Wolf and Tai Chi.
• 1:40:43
  [UNKNOWN]: That match, fucking ruled.
• 1:40:45
  [UNKNOWN]: That was a four and a quarter star match.
• 1:40:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So definitely one you should check out.
• 1:40:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Just obviously a very different type of match in the way we were just talking about, but just a very straight up tag match, very, very cool stuff.
• 1:40:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So I don't know if you did miss that one, just go back and watch it.
• 1:41:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I missed it.
• 1:41:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I missed it.
• 1:41:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm glad somebody recommended it to me because I didn't see anything else in the store.
• 1:41:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So, anyway, so Yano, the only thing that I tagged about is because Yano, he had the blonde here, obviously for that, and I actually was, did not have any sponsors when he knew when he, he just cared at the rigging out, so he came out that matter to them.
• 1:41:20
  [UNKNOWN]: He did not read the sponsors or anything because that's waggy out now.
• 1:41:22
  [UNKNOWN]: This was serious blonde demon Yano.
• 1:41:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, Yano is back to Brown here, he's back to having no other sponsors.
• 1:41:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So, that's over, I guess.
• 1:41:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, it's not just fine, you know, let me know Pintogo, uh, like, I guess, you know, that made sense because he was challenging the global title winner later.
• 1:41:39
  [UNKNOWN]: We actually had already said that.
• 1:41:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um, but yeah, just really, for a house match, it was like almost no shenanigans to speak of.
• 1:41:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought it was interesting, but there was like the, there was a dick-to- dick contact, I guess, but I don't remember anything else.
• 1:41:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, three stars was totally fine.
• 1:41:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Did, was Sonata ever legal in this match?
• 1:41:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think so actually, I don't think so.
• 1:42:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, that was like my one kind of like take away, but yeah, nothing, nothing specific.
• 1:42:11
  [UNKNOWN]: It did definitely feel like the classic guy wins undercard tag and is going to come out and challenge later, kind of format.
• 1:42:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 1:42:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Totally.
• 1:42:25
  [UNKNOWN]: match two this was a weird one so it's yo to Gucci and Master Wato beating Robbie X tagitio shimori and gato Wato pin gate on only 330 free at the springboard elbow spash did was why does it posted pin in with this?
• 1:42:39
  [UNKNOWN]: because go to look like he was using the selling immediately well or selling amazingly well I mean or he may have got his bill the jitter on because he looks so out of it afterwards and it's so fast I don't know but he has been people this before too I think so I don't know I really can't tell but I was fine especially for three minute match you know for two and three quarters three stars whatever
• 1:43:02
  [UNKNOWN]: The body language of everybody else after the match feel like you fucked up because they had it felt like we got a couple more minutes of stuff planned and we're just not gonna get to that now because like everybody else was kind of like standing around like there was that feeling in the air of like
• 1:43:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Are we going to try and save this or are we going to do like a brawl?
• 1:43:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Is there going to be anything else like do I need to be ready to like, you know, like get into something?
• 1:43:30
  [UNKNOWN]: But if you watch it back, like Gato didn't try and kick out.
• 1:43:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Like it wasn't like you got his bell rung and was like, oh, I still have to like kick out.
• 1:43:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's like a 3.1 like kick out or whatever.
• 1:43:51
  [UNKNOWN]: yeah that was rough yeah so I don't know yeah maybe it wasn't maybe that was the plan finish or nose yeah I mean you got to get the beef interchers over like at some point but yeah I don't know kind of felt like a weird place to do it like you feel like you want to do that like on the tour shows leading up yeah match three Utah ice Oscar and Dakey and a guy beating Hanoi, Great O'Con and Zain Jay you don't
• 1:44:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, Oscar, like, rooted O'Con, off the Averyn, which set off a big ring-side bra immediately.
• 1:44:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, once they got in the ring, they went after Oscars like, which he sold so well as he always does.
• 1:44:33
  [UNKNOWN]: But then after that, it just became kind of a weird match with, like, Dakey and you know, I use both just getting beaten down for a while.
• 1:44:40
  [UNKNOWN]: It felt like, it felt like endless beat down, but no hot tag.
• 1:44:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And then you know, just pins ain't out of nowhere.
• 1:44:46
  [UNKNOWN]: It was okay, but just very strangely laid out, someone like two and three quarters.
• 1:44:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's sort of a nothing match, but I mean like you said like Oscar good for him because like with his size and everything he's going to be selling that leg like the rest of his life basically so it's good that he's got it down early I guess
• 1:45:10
  [UNKNOWN]: There we had the, okay, so this was supposed to be a six fan tag, but with, uh, we're supposed to be UIA on the face of a Han Thai side and, uh, Fujita on the TMB case side.
• 1:45:22
  [UNKNOWN]: But apparently there's a flu bug ripping through the New Japan roster at the moment in the country to panic general, apparently.
• 1:45:30
  [UNKNOWN]: And that resulted in both of them coming out while it resulted
• 1:45:36
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, resulted in you coming out, the official story for Vegeta is some kind of knee injury, but it sounds like he's going to be fine for the actual telemetry king of pro wrestling.
• 1:45:45
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, we ended up with a tag match here, so just straight up now with Zach and Oriwa beating Aaron Wolfe and Taiji and Tanoi with the grip while you were putting Taiji with the grip.
• 1:45:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like I can have this rant a million times.
• 1:45:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Taiji is the most underused talent, maybe an all-professional wrestling.
• 1:46:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, he delivered that four-on-a-quarter star match.
• 1:46:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I just talked about the core again.
• 1:46:06
  [UNKNOWN]: He delivered here.
• 1:46:07
  [UNKNOWN]: This was three and three quarters.
• 1:46:09
  [UNKNOWN]: They did a great fucking ten-minute tag.
• 1:46:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And just like, you know, just this was the second best match of the show for me, at least.
• 1:46:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, a lot of people have one match in particular.
• 1:46:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I seem to like less than anybody else.
• 1:46:21
  [UNKNOWN]: But I think for a lot of people, it's probably like third.
• 1:46:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, this is like a title, it was a big part of it.
• 1:46:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, him and Oila just, you know, just a really, really great, fantastic finishing stress before Oila got the grip finally to pen them.
• 1:46:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I just, I don't know.
• 1:46:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not saying title, she has to be the fucking heavyweight champion at his age, right?
• 1:46:41
  [UNKNOWN]: I get it.
• 1:46:42
  [UNKNOWN]: But like the fact that they never do anything with him.
• 1:46:46
  [UNKNOWN]: He never gets to even challenge for fucking singles titles anymore.
• 1:46:49
  [UNKNOWN]: He barely gets to, he doesn't get to be in the G1.
• 1:46:52
  [UNKNOWN]: He doesn't get to do anything.
• 1:46:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, this guy is still fucking fantastic.
• 1:46:56
  [UNKNOWN]: He delivers every single time they put him in there.
• 1:46:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And this is not the new Japan of, somebody in my computer just make it a comparison though, you know, when they, they pulled the God out of anything interesting in 2013, when he could still really go.
• 1:47:08
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, New Japan 2020, the version of the guy that I think was older than Tangi is now, or maybe not, but I think there, I think he was.
• 1:47:14
  [UNKNOWN]: But second of all, the New Japan roster in 2013 was way deeper than the New Japan roster is in 2026.
• 1:47:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So I don't know, like the fact that they still enjoy the other guy is so weird to me.
• 1:47:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And like him being a top wouldn't still not even on top.
• 1:47:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Him being like global champion, or global challenger, or whatever, would be fucking fresh, because he'd never got pushed to you at that level.
• 1:47:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I don't know.
• 1:47:36
  [UNKNOWN]: He just he continues to have great matches every time out and they never do anything with him.
• 1:47:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I wish the the pay scale in Japanese wrestling wasn't so, you know, supposedly.
• 1:47:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So like heavily Fort flip toward a huge Japan because in a fucking just world he would be like headline and all Japan or something right now.
• 1:47:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Not fucking jobbing in a huge pan in the slay.
• 1:47:54
  [UNKNOWN]: But I guess I get you can't give this, you know, you can't give a paycheck up right.
• 1:47:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I get it.
• 1:47:59
  [UNKNOWN]: But you know, anyway.
• 1:48:02
  [UNKNOWN]: So like if I mind once a quarter-tighty rap because I can't believe they don't use him better So like I completely understand what you're saying and I agree to an extent I think the flip side of that coin is I think part of why Tai Chi is so over is because he never gets anything
• 1:48:27
  [UNKNOWN]: And I, part of me feels like if they were to do something like that, it would kind of shift his dynamic where people would be frustrated that he wasn't like actually winning the titles.
• 1:48:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I think, I don't know how much of it is by design and like how much of it's by coincidence.
• 1:48:48
  [UNKNOWN]: But I think part of what makes Tai Chi so great is the fact that he doesn't get much other than every now and then he gets to stand out and have like these fantastic matches and so people want more from him.
• 1:49:02
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think that's kind of the beauty of Tai Chi because if you were to give him a title match and him have like that great showing, where he has like a four and a half star match, eventually people are gonna want Tai Chi to win the titles, you know, like some type of title.
• 1:49:19
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think the way that they position him is in a way where he's so over, but he's not involved in any major project.
• 1:49:30
  [UNKNOWN]: but he can also be sucked in into any major program and people are gonna accept it because they know he's so good.
• 1:49:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So like, yes, there's a part of me that envisions like a Tai Chi global title run.
• 1:49:46
  [UNKNOWN]: That is absolutely fantastic.
• 1:49:49
  [UNKNOWN]: But then the other part of me is like, it's so great for him to not win it.
• 1:49:54
  [UNKNOWN]: or not even be in contention because we all want it so bad.
• 1:49:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So there's that feeling of investment and like wanting more out of him.
• 1:50:05
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I don't know.
• 1:50:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Like there's part of me that feels like this is by design and it is all a work to make us like just crave more Tai Chi in our lives.
• 1:50:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 1:50:16
  [UNKNOWN]: What I've heard is reaction to Mingi when he found out he wasn't gonna be on the G1 didn't sound like a work.
• 1:50:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, it may not have been, well, there was that holding about him like not wanting to fly though either, which like, yeah, no, that's true.
• 1:50:31
  [UNKNOWN]: That's true.
• 1:50:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, you're, yeah, you're scared of planes, right?
• 1:50:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I forgot.
• 1:50:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not scared, John.
• 1:50:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I just don't like them.
• 1:50:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 1:50:38
  [UNKNOWN]: You're a bad one.
• 1:50:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't remember.
• 1:50:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 1:50:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 1:50:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I've been on like a couple of flights for like, I've only been flying like two days out of my life, two or three days.
• 1:50:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I've done a lot, so I made JetCenter.
• 1:50:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't say if he would just, did you start on when you were young?
• 1:51:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, did you work with my mom?
• 1:51:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, my mom worked for an airline.
• 1:51:05
  [UNKNOWN]: So, the first time I was on a plane, I don't remember because I think I was like two years old.
• 1:51:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 1:51:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And I mean, I definitely, but I definitely have very early plane memories.
• 1:51:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, you know, five, six, like, you know, some of my earliest memories are being on plates.
• 1:51:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, definitely, uh, I'm sure that is part of it.
• 1:51:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I talked about this before too.
• 1:51:25
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like, if you, all the people I know who really like flying, you know, maybe they literally started two years old like I did, but they did fly as kids, and all the people I know, you know, my partner to call them included, who really hate flying or really scare out of it, never flew as kids and just didn't fly until they were already
• 1:51:43
  [UNKNOWN]: and I feel like that pattern repeated several times.
• 1:51:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So, because were you actually were also liking a doll about the first time you flew?
• 1:51:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I think it was like 13 or 14 with my dad, like the first time that I flew.
• 1:51:57
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I think there's definitely like a correlation there like with me personally, like not getting on one when I was younger.
• 1:52:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And it being, it feeling like it experience that I had to get through.
• 1:52:10
  [UNKNOWN]: as opposed to just like a part of like everyday life I guess.
• 1:52:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I really, I just like flying like I have that kind of fascination what planes and like you know I like looking at plane models and stuff and like different plane types and stuff I just you know same thing like that's my little autistic thing with planes and trains I guess.
• 1:52:27
  [UNKNOWN]: But, um, you know, with that said, I don't like flying to Japan because there's just too fucking law on a plane, even for someone who likes flying, likes the experience, kind of likes being like a, you know, like this weird limo space, it's just too small.
• 1:52:43
  [UNKNOWN]: you know, 14 hours is too long.
• 1:52:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, it just gets, it gets very, very old way before it's over, like, you know, but, you know, it's just the thing where you have to, you do it because you have to do it to get through it and then be able to fly so.
• 1:52:59
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I'll be able to be in Japan, I mean, so, you know, it's worth like the, for as much as I don't like the flight Japan still worth it basically, because it's just such an amazing place to be obviously never mind the fact that you're all that, you know, I love Japanese wrestling as you go to a bunch of Japanese wrestling shows, so.
• 1:53:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's I had a friend that flew to Japan earlier earlier this month for his birthday and we were talking about he was like, yeah, like you need to come with me next year and I was like, bro, you're going to have to give me like some worse tranquilizers or something like I can't For that flight like
• 1:53:45
  [UNKNOWN]: The only way you're getting me to Japan is like me being knocked out and like I have to have an outstanding offer from New Japan to do American commentary.
• 1:53:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I need to go over there and then I will start that job and then I'll probably stay in that country the rest of my life because I won't want to like traverse home.
• 1:54:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I mean, honestly, my part in the call again is a scared of flying as anybody, so if she could do it, you could do it.
• 1:54:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Trust me, it's not, like it's like, okay, once you're on the plane, it sucks, it takes forever, but like it's also just kind of like, you know, you sit there and you fucking sit there till it's over, it's not like, I don't know, it's kind of a thing, it's just kind of made it sound, I feel like someone who hasn't done it yet, you're probably making it worse in your head than it actually is.
• 1:54:34
  [UNKNOWN]: probably so, but also, all Japan, this is your chance if you need an English language language that's there like in person.
• 1:54:44
  [UNKNOWN]: I will do that, and I promise you, I won't bail on the middle of the tour because I will not go home.
• 1:54:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Immigration is going to be called on you.
• 1:54:55
  [UNKNOWN]: That fucking half Japanese chick who's white daddy left her is going to have to come for your ass.
• 1:55:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, where were we?
• 1:55:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Caleb Newman could be in Jeff Cobb in a 1353 figure guy who didn't want to leave Japan.
• 1:55:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Does I think he leaves him for Grokha?
• 1:55:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So he never appeared.
• 1:55:13
  [UNKNOWN]: And for what I've heard, he'd never even sold his home.
• 1:55:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Or I don't know if it's apartment or a condo or what, but from what I've heard, you know, I think this is the great find.
• 1:55:21
  [UNKNOWN]: So who knows the stroke?
• 1:55:22
  [UNKNOWN]: But he apparently never even sold his home for Grokha.
• 1:55:25
  [UNKNOWN]: He just kept it.
• 1:55:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I guess you knew the WWE writing, he went and made it, got a big check, got released and came right, just came right back.
• 1:55:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, good for him, I guess it's like, well, I have a landing spot, literally still own a home there.
• 1:55:39
  [UNKNOWN]: It's kind of cool.
• 1:55:40
  [UNKNOWN]: There's kind of cool, my friend.
• 1:55:43
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Calon B and 1353, the Makeway.
• 1:55:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that's kind of bored me a lot of the way to be honest.
• 1:55:48
  [UNKNOWN]: It doesn't help that this became yet another outside brawling match.
• 1:55:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I decided that New Japan definitely does the outside brawling the most boring way out of all the promotions on average, I think.
• 1:56:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess Cobb tossing on Ly and the Calon was wildly interesting, but the camera also kind of missed it.
• 1:56:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, the match also had to send, the match also said no he had all, especially a lot of the way.
• 1:56:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, Calum got tossed really high by God back at the ring.
• 1:56:16
  [UNKNOWN]: He laid on his knee, which I thought was a fucking spot, but I guess it wasn't because it never played anything.
• 1:56:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought he was going to faint the injury.
• 1:56:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Is that what you thought too when it first happened or my going crazy?
• 1:56:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, no, a little bit.
• 1:56:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it felt like something important that was like glossed over pretty quickly.
• 1:56:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it was real.
• 1:56:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I think he just fucked his knee up because he fucking hobbled on all of what he was going to the back, too.
• 1:56:40
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think he just landed wrong on his knee and they just didn't work in the match because it wasn't something they had planned for.
• 1:56:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I don't think I don't know if it's like seriously injured but I think he did just lamb wrong in like fucking hobbles knee and that's why he did the little hobble but then didn't do anything else to match with it and that's why he looked like he was living on a little bit when he was going to the back at the end of the match.
• 1:56:59
  [UNKNOWN]: But.
• 1:57:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it might have been.
• 1:57:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Did you see the the joke the Joe Gacy stuff like from this past weekend from GCW because you're a known GCW fan?
• 1:57:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm asking me John did you see GCW and less somebody like fucking knocked me unconscious and brought me to a GCW venue and opened my eyes then I would not see something
• 1:57:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, well, yeah, I was just curious because I think it was like a big thing on Twitter or at least it was like on the voices wrestling discord or whatever but like Joe Gacy apparently like hurt his knee like during a match and like I heard about it and then like saw it in like what I heard and what I saw were like two completely different things so I yeah, I was just wondering if you were a part of that discourse there now I've no idea what I'm about to be honest
• 1:57:52
  [UNKNOWN]: okay it's it's fine don't worry about it.
• 1:57:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So the camera the camera then caught I thought Kala asking Cobb you good after the final layer the end of this big sequence like as bad as I've seen someone get caught during that awhile I was a guy's the camera's right on you now the time to ask that.
• 1:58:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But there was some good action down the stretch and they did some there was like a whole sequence they did like they started trading bombs and there were no selling of a crowd finally
• 1:58:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like the low blow make way finish just feels so cliche at this point though too.
• 1:58:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry to kind of say that finish It's a weird match.
• 1:58:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I went three in a quarter ultimately.
• 1:58:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't hate it or anything I thought you know, I guess pretty good.
• 1:58:31
  [UNKNOWN]: It's fine is way to good way to play that But it was like a it was like a half a great match.
• 1:58:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And you have a match any really like so you know average X three in a quarter I guess
• 1:58:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the low blow make way finish is very played out at this point.
• 1:58:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I liked it a little bit more because it's been probably your plus, since I've seen like a Jeff Cobb, like Shine segment.
• 1:58:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And I forget how much I enjoy those.
• 1:58:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I think Jeff Cobb is like fantastic when he really brings it, and like when there's an opportunity to shine.
• 1:59:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think he got that like early on enough that I was like, just kind of hooked into that, I guess.
• 1:59:11
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I don't know.
• 1:59:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like I'm lower on talent than a lot of people these days.
• 1:59:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I see the potential there and I see like a lot of really great stuff.
• 1:59:22
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just like the formula of the low blow into the finish is just very played out.
• 1:59:31
  [UNKNOWN]: And like I don't know his matches just never peaked with me as much as I wish they wouldn't.
• 1:59:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know, just didn't do like a ton for me, but it was bad or anything.
• 1:59:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, for the placement on the card, I feel like it delivered almost as much as you could ask for.
• 1:59:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, maybe like maybe I would like to see like three and three quarters or something, but it was pretty good.
• 1:59:57
  [UNKNOWN]: The next match did not think this was pretty good.
• 2:00:08
  [UNKNOWN]: to become the 11th champion and to get you to fail in as V5.
• 2:00:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Or as V, I thought it's no, it said my things have to be sex.
• 2:00:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I have a job and you say it's wrong yet I think, but I wouldn't have, I don't know.
• 2:00:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I totally forgot I was in the building when to catch you to one this bell all the way back in February and ah, beautiful, Trenton New Jersey.
• 2:00:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, I had nice little seven, until I looked it up, okay, you actually, I mean, to see how long the rain went, we had a nice little seven month from our best fell, uh, almost exactly February 27th to September 27th.
• 2:00:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um, okay, where to start with this?
• 2:00:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Did it did start, it started, it started out really cool.
• 2:00:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So, shooting on the second row, um, and tries to like immediately leap down and roll to catching up into a skydate special and it almost worked.
• 2:00:58
  [UNKNOWN]: And then it went to this fast-paced exchange where I'm like, that's a cool way to start the match.
• 2:01:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, here we go.
• 2:01:02
  [UNKNOWN]: But then they just didn't keep up that initial pace at all.
• 2:01:05
  [UNKNOWN]: And I was like, okay, you guys have a 15-minute time limit here, you know, they teach you the go-go match and then just didn't keep that pace up.
• 2:01:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Shroom got to the retro Boston crab.
• 2:01:17
  [UNKNOWN]: That was kind of funny.
• 2:01:18
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like, Oh, I'll beat with the same thing 2GB with a Tokyo dome bench.
• 2:01:21
  [UNKNOWN]: That was, you know, I did like that, but to catch the scramble of some break, to catch the came back with this cool leaping form of the ring is usual great to bake on hello to the floor.
• 2:01:32
  [UNKNOWN]: He then charge shooting the ring and ran right to his boot, which I doubt was supposed to be that staff given everybody's reactions.
• 2:01:38
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like, man, it's just I allegedly thought, but they didn't seem like it was okay.
• 2:01:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, it led to a nice little high-speed faggy exchange though.
• 2:01:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I wanted to catch a good actually feels face again, uh, shooting them up catching with a nice flying boot to the face, but the catch can kick down at one.
• 2:01:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 2:01:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Then, shoot runs in to go for his new fish, the sky fall.
• 2:02:00
  [UNKNOWN]: This fucking thing.
• 2:02:02
  [UNKNOWN]: It's drawn a lot of division on social media.
• 2:02:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Rightfully so, it books hard.
• 2:02:08
  [UNKNOWN]: He, this part, like, but for his dad, I thought it looked when he was just beating, like, young lines with it, when I'd see Gips of it on Twitter and stuff, doing it, seeing it competitive match was somehow even worse.
• 2:02:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Like NATO has the charging destiny, right?
• 2:02:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Where he runs into the opponent and looks like he's almost running in their arms and at least so, that's not his actual fish.
• 2:02:30
  [UNKNOWN]: The wind up destiny is his actual finish.
• 2:02:32
  [UNKNOWN]: The running in this, you know, always looked a little silly, so I wanna watch some side by side because the running destiny somehow never looked quite as silly as this to me.
• 2:02:43
  [UNKNOWN]: This move, when he goes for it this time and to catch you the counters it into the blue thunder bomb,
• 2:02:49
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like, almost like, what did you think was gonna happen?
• 2:02:52
  [UNKNOWN]: You're running directly into your opponent's arms.
• 2:02:56
  [UNKNOWN]: It's pretty easy to counter.
• 2:02:58
  [UNKNOWN]: And the way to get you to the here, it made you look so stupid.
• 2:03:02
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm just like, okay, you ran right into the blue side of your pop, basically, just a very, very stupid.
• 2:03:07
  [UNKNOWN]: and that's your finish.
• 2:03:09
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not just some random sequence, that is your move that you have come up with as your trump card in a professional and wrestling match is running into your own exams.
• 2:03:19
  [UNKNOWN]: This looks very stupid.
• 2:03:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Then run the radar run to know where to give Skywalk or the chance to throw a pattern to catch his eyes.
• 2:03:27
  [UNKNOWN]: We're hitting a double arm suit plaques and the moon salt double knees, the SSW is old finish.
• 2:03:31
  [UNKNOWN]: We're tucking kicked out it too.
• 2:03:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Pretty double key interference spot, too.
• 2:03:36
  [UNKNOWN]: If this was real, why the fuck would the ref not DQ pretty much any house member?
• 2:03:40
  [UNKNOWN]: For me, I'll be entering the ring right in front of them by this point, makes no sense.
• 2:03:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's what I already did.
• 2:03:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I just got in the ring right in front of the ref.
• 2:03:46
  [UNKNOWN]: And the ref's like, get out of here, you.
• 2:03:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm like, just fucking DQ, shoot.
• 2:03:52
  [UNKNOWN]: uh, nor do I think it's on the apron again to try to set things up for Togo and their fear.
• 2:03:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Like somehow getting on the apron is one thing really getting into the ring is the part where I'm like, like, that's too much for me.
• 2:04:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I can't have a guy.
• 2:04:05
  [UNKNOWN]: You cannot let a guy get in the ring.
• 2:04:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Just because he always didn't, he didn't touch the cashity yet.
• 2:04:09
  [UNKNOWN]: He's in the fucking ring.
• 2:04:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway.
• 2:04:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Tonight it gets on the apron again, trying to set up things for toe-loading their fairer.
• 2:04:15
  [UNKNOWN]: To catch you to sub-subsize Skywalker and to him, then he knocks tonight to off the outside too, but before he hits the sub-medioker, Japanese chain restaurant knee for a two count.
• 2:04:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Then to catch you to go for the raging fire, but I guess you turns it in the skyfall and mid-air.
• 2:04:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I say I guess because it looked fucking stupid and got zero reaction to the crowd at all exactly what you want from a hot new finish Shune hit the wrist loss spinning wrist locks spinning power bump thing for a two count just the 10 minute call
• 2:04:48
  [UNKNOWN]: and then he hits the full writing skyfall, which again, looks so stupid that I really thought to catch the counter that first before I shoot and just pinned him.
• 2:04:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm like, oh, okay, that was him giving the move.
• 2:04:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Not him taking a move, okay.
• 2:05:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Which is the ultimate issue with this match where like, you know, with this move, I mean, where if you cannot tell who is hitting the move and who is delivering the move, it's a horrible finish.
• 2:05:14
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah.
• 2:05:17
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I mean like this again, I tough wanted to rate, I can't quite call it a complete disaster because there was enough stuff in the match that I liked, but the stuff I hate, unlike the Cobb and Calamash, there was so much in this match that I really, really hated that it really outweigh the stuff I really liked.
• 2:05:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I went two and a half, hopefully what I went on this, or I'd go two and three quarters, I don't know.
• 2:05:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I either went two and a half or two and three quarters, and I can't, I didn't write it down.
• 2:05:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Some of these, let's check the discord channel.
• 2:05:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's tell me what I read of this.
• 2:05:49
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I went two and three quarters.
• 2:05:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So if that's, it was okay.
• 2:05:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, it's had a six point six point three two on cage match right now.
• 2:06:00
  [UNKNOWN]: So that implies like, you know, not even three and a quarter.
• 2:06:04
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's not like they're that much higher than me.
• 2:06:06
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I don't know.
• 2:06:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I was just like this, this was a match I was willing to give a chance.
• 2:06:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I like both guys, I mean, I used to like sure enough.
• 2:06:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I could still say I like him after his last year and dragging it on the start of this new Japan run.
• 2:06:19
  [UNKNOWN]: And I thought to catch it, you know, I actually had a really good G1.
• 2:06:22
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this was not great at all.
• 2:06:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But best you could say, it was pretty okay.
• 2:06:27
  [UNKNOWN]: And even that might be generous.
• 2:06:29
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I thought that the stuff that they did, the four of the skyfalls was good, I think,
• 2:06:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I probably just fall into like the general medium of the discourse of like the sky fall of not looking good, which is interesting because like I've seen the clips from like the road two shows where he hit it on Matt's moto and it looks like really good like at that point it's just the two that he hit like in this match just did not look good at all.
• 2:07:02
  [UNKNOWN]: which is like a really bad thing when it's supposed to be a central part of the match.
• 2:07:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I thought the overall work was solid.
• 2:07:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, taking the house of torture stuff out of it, like you gotta kinda leave your brain at the door for that.
• 2:07:18
  [UNKNOWN]: But if you can, then like Schoen still good, like the stuff in the match was good.
• 2:07:26
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just the sky falls was where it fell off for me.
• 2:07:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know, just, you know, just get, get a new finish guy, or just change how you deliver this finish or something because it looks really, really, really, really bad.
• 2:07:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, the next match.
• 2:07:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, this is the one, it feels like everybody else like more than me.
• 2:07:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, all the reviews I've seen have been pretty positive about it.
• 2:07:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, the cage match rating is at an 8.1 whatever, which at 8.08, I think, right now, which implies like four stars flat.
• 2:08:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought this was fine.
• 2:08:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I wish I go to Cali being Claudia Cassegoli in 1541 the last of the dragon.
• 2:08:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I just, you know, it just never, like they did some nice little bombs.
• 2:08:13
  [UNKNOWN]: They just never anything that's actually clicked with me.
• 2:08:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I just found this much quite boring.
• 2:08:18
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I mean, there was enough stuff that, again, I can't go lower than three, but like, you know, enough cool stuff, but like it just never clicked with any kind of level.
• 2:08:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, every time I feel like I'd be getting injured a little, it would feel like it would just slow down to a crawl again.
• 2:08:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And this show, especially at this point, did not need another stop-go stop-go, stop-go singles match.
• 2:08:40
  [UNKNOWN]: It was last year because it felt like that's what it felt like I was getting all night basically.
• 2:08:43
  [UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, just didn't click with me, um, you know, I don't know.
• 2:08:49
  [UNKNOWN]: I have it sometimes, I guess, which just didn't do anything for me.
• 2:08:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like it wasn't a bad match, but it also wasn't necessarily an inspired match.
• 2:08:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I think for the rest of the card, it kind of felt like you could close your eyes and imagine what it's gonna be before hand, and that's kind of what you got.
• 2:09:10
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's pretty much what this was.
• 2:09:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, it didn't disappoint me, but like it didn't exceed what my expectations were in my head.
• 2:09:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I mean, both the guys are great.
• 2:09:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I like Claudio, I like Shingo,
• 2:09:24
  [UNKNOWN]: They didn't have any particular type of chemistry or anything.
• 2:09:27
  [UNKNOWN]: It was just very paint by the numbers of kicking out of this, kicking out of that, standard kind of formulaic match.
• 2:09:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, just didn't do something in their works for me.
• 2:09:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Speaking of stuff that didn't really work for me, the global heavyweight title match, Gabe Kidd, Beats Drillabalone and 1937 with a fishman vuster to make his first defense.
• 2:09:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, so it's starting out pretty strong.
• 2:09:53
  [UNKNOWN]: It started out very similar to one match that I thought was really great there when four stars on, um, you know, some hard forums to each other's faces, it felt appropriately heated, then gave just takes a walk out of the right to some scattered booze because I guess they just can't have too much excitement after how not exciting.
• 2:10:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Mostly undercard has been, uh, I did appreciate drilling just waiting on the corner and letting Gabe come back in the rain and said it falling out there like a moron.
• 2:10:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So Gabe came back in, they chopped each other, before drilling it right up down in the shoulder block.
• 2:10:23
  [UNKNOWN]: But then game early, throws, fill it out, fill it just slides right back, head down in points with the lion mark, and it's like, no, we do this in here.
• 2:10:30
  [UNKNOWN]: We're trying to bathe you face himself to me, it's sure a wash because I'm so fucking sick as I look like a brawl.
• 2:10:35
  [UNKNOWN]: uh... fills offense was looking pretty solid but then he made them a state of going for his baseball slide traffic to the floor so gave grab him carried him out there finally gave him a back job two-plex from the table on the side uh... after telling them actually that most bitch that's kind of funny uh... i can't do a produce force and then bother trying but yeah great looking spot because really just went through it but first now this point you know that the match is mostly working
• 2:11:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, it fell apart later as we'll get to in a second, the biggest issue I had at this point was the commentary where the problem with this thing is, again, I'm not going to bury this too hard because it feels, it feels weird like a lot of these notes I have other death writers feel we were talking about right now, what's what happened with Pock, you know, a member of the death writers in Portie Pazzing away.
• 2:11:22
  [UNKNOWN]: But what I will just say is, when Chris Charging on commentary is talking about this gay character, you know, and, you know, basically, you know, it's like you have to expect this out of the death writers and blah, blah, blah.
• 2:11:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just like, I don't care about the death writers.
• 2:11:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I am a new Japan viewer.
• 2:11:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not an AW viewer.
• 2:11:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't want to hear about an AW Heal Stable that's apparently one of two Heal Stables in AW that gave kids in simultaneously for some reason, which I don't know how that works and I don't need anybody to explain to me.
• 2:11:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't care.
• 2:11:55
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just always nothing to me.
• 2:11:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, Gabe kicks a mic again, at the end of the matches, like, oh, you cut it, and this is, again, another thing.
• 2:12:02
  [UNKNOWN]: We're not even a mic.
• 2:12:03
  [UNKNOWN]: What he's just doing on Midnight's promo, was like, you could have been in the dogs with me in Clark and Finlay and A, W, and you were with it.
• 2:12:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I thought he was a death fridayer.
• 2:12:12
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like, none of it makes any sense.
• 2:12:14
  [UNKNOWN]: If you're not in the A, W, V, or I'm not sure if it makes any sense of you, R, D, W, V, or except you just in both units for some reason, the kind of allies, I guess.
• 2:12:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know how it works honestly.
• 2:12:24
  [UNKNOWN]: But like, again, the point is, even if it could be the greatest storyline in all the wrestling history, I am not an AWS viewer, I am a new Japan for a wrestling viewer.
• 2:12:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't care what is going on with the death writers.
• 2:12:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't care what is going on with the dogs.
• 2:12:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't care about Gabe K. telling Dreadable only to come join the dog to them.
• 2:12:43
  [UNKNOWN]: None of that means anything to me.
• 2:12:45
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, the big problem that's game character in general
• 2:12:51
  [UNKNOWN]: If all he does is talk about, and I mentioned this before, all he does is talk about how great AWS and how much he rather be in AWS.
• 2:13:00
  [UNKNOWN]: To me, it's not it doesn't make me like want to root against him.
• 2:13:04
  [UNKNOWN]: It doesn't make me want to watch him and see him in his ass case.
• 2:13:07
  [UNKNOWN]: It makes me want to ask him Gabe Gabriel kid if you love a W so much go fucking be in a W like how is that not your responses if you are?
• 2:13:19
  [UNKNOWN]: It doesn't make me want to go bro game.
• 2:13:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, you're like another version better
• 2:13:23
  [UNKNOWN]: it's the way he goes about it.
• 2:13:25
  [UNKNOWN]: He's trying to be this outside of this invader, but the way he goes about it, it comes across like if you like a w so fucking much, if all you do is say it's how much newspan sucks and you don't want to be a new Japan, who the fuck can you show me the gun being point that your head forcing you to be a new Japan?
• 2:13:45
  [UNKNOWN]: It doesn't work, it does the way he's going about it doesn't work, and, you know, other invaders and other outsiders who come to promotions, they have come to promotions in a way where they talk, she's about the promotion, they say, I better because I'm from X-Rotion, X-Rotion is better, and I want to beat this shit out of people in Y-Rotion.
• 2:14:02
  [UNKNOWN]: They don't spend all their time saying, I'm X-Rotion is better, I watched how I was in X-Rotion right now instead of New York Pan.
• 2:14:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Didn't go B&AW.
• 2:14:15
  [UNKNOWN]: If you love AW so much, who the fuck is stopping you from being in AW 7-Japan?
• 2:14:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Like that is the most annoying part of this character you may.
• 2:14:24
  [UNKNOWN]: And he's just talking about it and talking and talking.
• 2:14:28
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, and so it's like, it's where the match started falling apart for me is where he's just slowly beating up Drilla, he's posing some scattered booze, he's doing the mid-match dialogue about a UK debate and a WWE with me and friendly in Clark, but you have to fight for this guy, he's pouring it down and I just don't care, you know, they do some nice wrestling after that still.
• 2:14:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And again, well, the other thing I found so annoying about Gabe is wrestling as wrestling style still appeals to me greatly.
• 2:14:56
  [UNKNOWN]: I just think all this super shit to get hate, heat based on his employment decisions is so cringe and so stupid.
• 2:15:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, just fucking be a wrestler when you're here to do.
• 2:15:04
  [UNKNOWN]: You're good at it.
• 2:15:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Just do that.
• 2:15:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Drilla, unfortunately, it would, you know, kind of fall apart more than that.
• 2:15:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Drilla did a single day, did a nice little point of tonney and dropped an elbow for a two count.
• 2:15:20
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, Gabe is yelling at Drillette to look at him and he's put in a lot of Lyon Mark, Drillette wipes off in the sand.
• 2:15:26
  [UNKNOWN]: That was a little heavy handed for me.
• 2:15:29
  [UNKNOWN]: We get a rest bump where this is where the match really falls apart.
• 2:15:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So.
• 2:15:35
  [UNKNOWN]: There was a cool sequence for Jill likes.
• 2:15:36
  [UNKNOWN]: They were slapping each other pretty hard.
• 2:15:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Jill has slapped him back hard and speared him.
• 2:15:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Game no sold it, but they got hit by the pop-up power bomb in a second sphere.
• 2:15:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Jill and them went for the drill like hell and he hit it, but gave bump the rest in mid-air with his legs as he was getting hit by it.
• 2:15:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So there was no rough for the pen.
• 2:15:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought Claudio was gonna run in at this point, but that's not what happened.
• 2:15:57
  [UNKNOWN]: instead gave role to the floor, somehow crawled all the way to the table and then grabbed for the global title belt and hit drill with the belt when he came over to talk to him, kind of a week-long shot, too.
• 2:16:06
  [UNKNOWN]: That didn't really make any sense.
• 2:16:09
  [UNKNOWN]: They created the drilling killer as this ultimate death move, so how the fuck game was able to crawl over to the down table and get this belt and hit the guy with it, you know, not that long after you hit by it, didn't really make any sense.
• 2:16:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 2:16:23
  [UNKNOWN]: to get back in the ring.
• 2:16:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Game goes for a freebound larry.
• 2:16:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Drillage is collapses.
• 2:16:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Then Drillage gives me the Drillage a second time, although it looks like they kind of botched it and just fell down.
• 2:16:32
  [UNKNOWN]: But I guess the idea was he did him with the move.
• 2:16:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Drill a cover set.
• 2:16:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Marty goes one, two, and then he goes for the three, and you can see it, we get the fucking fake arm twist, for he's not supposed to go three, and he makes this like weird cry like, ah, but there's no kick out.
• 2:16:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So the magic is ruined for everybody.
• 2:16:55
  [UNKNOWN]: From now on, I'm always going to think, when I see it rough in New Japan, do this great arm twist, not three, near for a near fall, I'm going to think of the time he did it for no reason because he already knew that Gabriel's supposed to kick out there and just did it.
• 2:17:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, a baby gave us supposed to get his foot in the rope, and just didn't, I don't know.
• 2:17:15
  [UNKNOWN]: But after body stop counting, game foot was not in the ropes.
• 2:17:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Then game gets his foot in the ropes, and Marty points out like, there it is, like, buddy, it wasn't on the ropes until just now.
• 2:17:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Do you stop counting?
• 2:17:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Say, yeah, horrendous.
• 2:17:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Then they went up top.
• 2:17:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Gabe didn't arm drag off of the air kind of, I don't even know what was going on at this point.
• 2:17:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Then Gabe hit a pile of driver of Drillic kicked out.
• 2:17:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not sure I had the last time I saw that fall apart.
• 2:17:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Quite a degree this batch did.
• 2:17:40
  [UNKNOWN]: And the unfortunate thing is they're trying so hard to make it epic at the end, especially getting hitting a spain tombstone for a near fall.
• 2:17:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I was going to be another Drillic fella.
• 2:17:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Then he hit the fucking 10th running knee in the last five minutes where he hit his cross-linked pile of driver and Drillic kicked out again.
• 2:17:55
  [UNKNOWN]: But now it just feels really over-borrowed and there's no coming back with his last year they had.
• 2:17:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Drill is like grabbing on there and like he's crying while game is I guess pointing it down on Hashem just like oh my god, and the fucking match guys and the game hits the finish Rubin's bastard with a pan while flipping off town on Hashem, I don't know, I mean what can I say?
• 2:18:13
  [UNKNOWN]: There was again great stuff in this match, some of the actual wrestling action was really really good.
• 2:18:19
  [UNKNOWN]: The fucking overblown bullshit was overblown bullshit, don't care about the game character,
• 2:18:25
  [UNKNOWN]: and then on top of that, it just fucking fell apart with the kick out that wasn't the box drill-acor and everything else.
• 2:18:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess two and a half exactly average between the parts that were great in the parts that were other dog shit.
• 2:18:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Again, I don't seem to be out why my cage match on this one either.
• 2:18:42
  [UNKNOWN]: It seems to have a, has a 5.80 on cage match right now.
• 2:18:46
  [UNKNOWN]: So I guess we're saying well, like three stars, but yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know, just not, not good,
• 2:18:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Why did you think?
• 2:18:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think it just goes to me being really good at being able to compartmentalize parts of matches and parts of my life.
• 2:19:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Like the body of the match they had leading into the fucked up drill, killer, and kick out was really good.
• 2:19:20
  [UNKNOWN]: And I guess for me, it didn't fall apart
• 2:19:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Afterwards, but Gabe not kicking out was the biggest part of the match, that's the central point.
• 2:19:37
  [UNKNOWN]: The thing that got me was Charlton pointed out on commentary that Gabe's hand was underneath the plane at the bottom rope, which I perceive that as like, okay, that does count as
• 2:19:56
  [UNKNOWN]: The thing was, Gapes' hand was under the rope when Marty started counting.
• 2:20:02
  [UNKNOWN]: And so, if, like, he shouldn't count on the pin to begin with, was the end, might take away from that.
• 2:20:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Because if he hadn't counted to begin with, I wouldn't have had a problem with him being like, he's on the ropes, he can't, you know, and then like moving on to the next spot.
• 2:20:23
  [UNKNOWN]: it was him counting and then like holding up the count and like screaming oh no is it the ropes because he was under the ropes before the pin started so that that's that's why it looks so bad and it was terrible like it the match lost all like all the heat after that so i i don't know like i thought it was a good match
• 2:20:50
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought like it didn't necessarily throw them off a ton afterwards.
• 2:20:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I was with them through like the tombstone and everything from there on.
• 2:21:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I thought like it was like I thought they just pretty much continued with what they were going to do up until that point.
• 2:21:13
  [UNKNOWN]: So I didn't think it was that terrible, but the the botch in that moment was one of the worst that I've seen like in recent memory, I guess.
• 2:21:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but I'm able to kind of give credit to everything before that and everything after that.
• 2:21:30
  [UNKNOWN]: So I enjoyed it overall.
• 2:21:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I thought it was probably like a three and a half star match.
• 2:21:35
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just that one botch was like negative five stars.
• 2:21:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Like one of the worst that you've seen all year.
• 2:21:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Totally.
• 2:21:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So game took up my software and said he was done.
• 2:21:50
  [UNKNOWN]: He's not coming back this year We won't see him until he ten y'all on at the took you're done because there's nobody good enough challenging for this Beltly hates and a few isn't destroys I was like buddy, how you just vacate it and don't even come back for the devil either about that
• 2:22:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Like again, destroy like so stupid because, you know, okay, it's one thing when your own wrestler is throwing around the title, if you see a knife I did it, you know, in 2017 the other content, which I could even, I even understood why people hated that as a storyline at the time.
• 2:22:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Even obviously, here's Nigio Fan, but like at least he's employed for your company.
• 2:22:25
  [UNKNOWN]: This man, according to you, according to the actual storyline, does not work for you anymore.
• 2:22:31
  [UNKNOWN]: He works for another company.
• 2:22:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Why ain't you fucking destroying your title bell?
• 2:22:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Why not just strip him of the title and ban him from your promotion?
• 2:22:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, shouldn't be that hard to stop someone from fucking throwing your belt around and abusing at your fucking title bell because, you know, who's not, who doesn't even work for you?
• 2:22:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway, but yeah, gave a game came out and to challenge him or not game.
• 2:22:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry, gave him a challenge of sound.
• 2:22:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Show to Oomi no, came out to challenge him, which the crowd did not reject it all, so that was good.
• 2:23:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Obviously, that was a little bit of a worry to me, especially after you know, having to pull out the G1.
• 2:23:06
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, good fire from Oomi no here, the crowd didn't remotely reject it.
• 2:23:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, we'll get that magic king of fluorescent work.
• 2:23:14
  [UNKNOWN]: If there is a god, Oomi no, we'll fucking win, because I've had enough of this entire storyline.
• 2:23:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Gabe, can't I hope you can just skip the dome at this point, you know, I'm just really just don't even bother because I just, you know, this character is so fucking annoying.
• 2:23:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Go, go rest on your fucking six advantage on collision and leave me the fuck alone.
• 2:23:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't take anymore.
• 2:23:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank God for this match.
• 2:23:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank God for these two men.
• 2:23:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank God for this title reign.
• 2:23:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Your surgery is having a most outstanding wrestler for all the years.
• 2:23:57
  [UNKNOWN]: That's the year, part of yours having.
• 2:23:59
  [UNKNOWN]: This match, okay.
• 2:24:01
  [UNKNOWN]: To talk a little bit about the disadvantages match for his intrigue for me.
• 2:24:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I watched this show, I was in short took place yesterday in 27.
• 2:24:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I had watched the entire rest of the show besides the main event before the incredibly sad news of Pack dying broke.
• 2:24:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I was in the living room, watching one of my two new puppies, a doorplay play with a water bottle, and they ended up being very scared.
• 2:24:25
  [UNKNOWN]: And if you water bottle they discovered that it was very, decided that it was very scared out of that for a while.
• 2:24:30
  [UNKNOWN]: He's just kind of knocking around with little paws and every time we flip it up in the air, he would run away from it, it was very cute.
• 2:24:37
  [UNKNOWN]: But that's what I was doing when I got the notice
• 2:24:39
  [UNKNOWN]: packed on.
• 2:24:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, it took me a long time to because I meant to go back, I was going to go back in here and watch it.
• 2:24:45
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, just didn't feel like watching wrestling.
• 2:24:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think I would have watched that made event that night.
• 2:24:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Honestly, if not for the fact that I had to record this, you know, this don't be podcast.
• 2:24:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I record every week.
• 2:24:56
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, so the match is starting for a disadvantage of like, you know, I'm not really in a good head space.
• 2:25:02
  [UNKNOWN]: It's been like an hour at this point, maybe a little bit over an hour.
• 2:25:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not in a great head space to watch for festival wrestling.
• 2:25:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm very sad this wrestler that, you know, I've always liked and it seems like many people always respect.
• 2:25:13
  [UNKNOWN]: I've said it's a great, great guy, has just died suddenly out of nowhere.
• 2:25:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I just really wasn't into the match the start.
• 2:25:20
  [UNKNOWN]: It was hard to pay attention at times,
• 2:25:25
  [UNKNOWN]: The fact that this match was still so outstanding, that it overcame that mental state I was in and got me into it, says something incredible how great this match was.
• 2:25:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know,
• 2:25:39
  [UNKNOWN]: It seems a little silly to say a match may be feel better when I was feeling down about this, but like, you know, it did.
• 2:25:45
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like, you're the world kind of continues, I guess.
• 2:25:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, it's kind of what it comes down to.
• 2:25:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And I was still very sad to rest the night to be honest, but, you know, for 24 minutes and one second, at least, or at least maybe not even the entire runtime, but like, for a lot of that 24 minutes, I was able to think about something else than, you know, this man's horrific sudden death, which, you know, was very,
• 2:26:05
  [UNKNOWN]: It was nice and I think about that for 15 minutes or whatever, not to make it sound like I'm a victim here obviously, but like, you know, I feel like I'm saying this wrong, but like, you know, it was nice to not think about this horrifically sad event for 15 minutes or whatever, and then after it was over, I went back to thinking about the hurtfully sad event.
• 2:26:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah,
• 2:26:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Suji did this great combo where they had traded Larry's twice.
• 2:26:33
  [UNKNOWN]: He called Goto running over this face bus throughout of nowhere.
• 2:26:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Did a sort of deadlift German to go to from the mat and this great running knee to the face in the corner and then this like brutal Marlow stump off the top.
• 2:26:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Look, he just, you know, it just really, really crashed in the Goto.
• 2:26:49
  [UNKNOWN]: That was all right before the 15 minute call.
• 2:26:52
  [UNKNOWN]: There was this huge slap I sued you in the corner before we set go to the top rope and went for a rana, but go to just like hung on the top rope so it's huge he crashed the mat.
• 2:27:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Actually, how do you feel about that counter?
• 2:27:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I want to nitpick this match.
• 2:27:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't really like that counter because it kind of makes the guy trying to give the rana look a little dumb when he just kind of crashes to the mat by himself.
• 2:27:15
  [UNKNOWN]: John, you said it, dilute it.
• 2:27:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry, I had done it myself.
• 2:27:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I mixed feelings on it overall, but I think it looked good in the context of the match.
• 2:27:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it looked good in the usual too.
• 2:27:31
  [UNKNOWN]: It didn't disrupt the flow of anything.
• 2:27:39
  [UNKNOWN]: So did you try to find his way back up there but in the taking the sunset flip power ball over there, we kite 10, go to those original sensors they find out in the English commentary.
• 2:27:47
  [UNKNOWN]: All our back pointers are junior heavyweight, believe it or not, that got a two count.
• 2:27:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Go to set that, this was one of my calls, one of the calls five.
• 2:27:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Go to set that big metal kick, the big delay metal kick, where he does the big pose and everything, and so did he takes the kick, he bounces backwards, where they just leap forward the moment he bounces backwards in the short range
• 2:28:09
  [UNKNOWN]: He then hits the full range of gene blasts, and of course it isn't going to pin go to at this point.
• 2:28:12
  [UNKNOWN]: It doesn't really pin anybody at this point besides like lower level people.
• 2:28:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Suji just stayed on him with even more offense.
• 2:28:19
  [UNKNOWN]: He did the Guerrero special off the ropes for another two count.
• 2:28:22
  [UNKNOWN]: He went for the fire blasts, but go to counters him with a spinning heel kick, which again great.
• 2:28:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Great job by Charlton and Contray pointing out.
• 2:28:29
  [UNKNOWN]: That was the same way go to count it during the G1 match.
• 2:28:31
  [UNKNOWN]: This year that he enforced one.
• 2:28:32
  [UNKNOWN]: and the crab was chanting from Goto for the valley at that's point.
• 2:28:35
  [UNKNOWN]: They did possibly my favorite camera shot and wrestling with a camera.
• 2:28:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Cubs over the IWGV have a right title belt on the table in the middle of this cock-loating stretch.
• 2:28:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Always a great camera shot.
• 2:28:46
  [UNKNOWN]: And then when they're finally both got up, Suji charged Goto again and just gets chopped down in the fucking neck.
• 2:28:53
  [UNKNOWN]: He lands almost face first, holy shit what it's about that was.
• 2:28:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Then Godo gave him an incredible showtank hybrid measure.
• 2:29:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe one of the highest impact ones I've ever seen, which for him is really saying something.
• 2:29:05
  [UNKNOWN]: But he just crashed downwards, and so G kicked out.
• 2:29:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Godo then went through the GTR.
• 2:29:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Shoegy rolled out, but uh, get stuff trying for whatever which ever blast was going for again Go to headbud at him.
• 2:29:17
  [UNKNOWN]: They did the fucking flying E Honda Forward the flying forward E Honda headbud which red eyes reaction for that was amazing like he did it with his hand like you just did it and get the thing And it's so funny But when go to one for the inverted GTR So do something got the short range fire blast here.
• 2:29:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm nowhere and then hit the full one for the pen
• 2:29:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, again, given how much I was not in the mood to watch wrestling when this bad started, uh, I thought this was a credible, a four and a half star match here, uh, and again, I don't, I feel like I really like should have said that differently.
• 2:29:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I feel, I don't why I want to think like, obviously, I'm not, you know,
• 2:29:56
  [UNKNOWN]: It doesn't really matter how I feel about packed on, right?
• 2:29:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I feel like maybe I'm being too, you know, sensitive about this now.
• 2:30:01
  [UNKNOWN]: But like, you know, in the moment, it may be feel a little bit better, but obviously the way his friends and family feel is far more important than so.
• 2:30:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't want to take anything away from that, but anyway.
• 2:30:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, it's absolutely understandable, like it's like I think that's part of like the overall beauty of like Omakase is like you're very transparent about the way you express everything and like the state of mind that you're in when you're watching something and like that's a real life event that affects the way that we perceive like the art that we're watching as you hear my microwave go off in the background
• 2:30:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like I completely understand that and like it's it's definitely normal to To not feel normal when watching something like that with it with the information that you're processing So like that being said like I Was not nearly as high as on the matches you were like I think I went about three and three quarters on it Like a lot of it just felt like
• 2:31:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know what excites me when I'm watching wrestling is like the subversion of my expectations.
• 2:31:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And I understand that you have to establish patterns to be able to subvert them to make something exciting.
• 2:31:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But it felt very much played to my expectations at that point.
• 2:31:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I love the match from the point of Susie taking the chop and going face down.
• 2:31:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I thought it was an awesome two minutes or two and a half minutes, whatever it was until the finish, like from there.
• 2:31:46
  [UNKNOWN]: But up until that point, it felt very patterned and I could just kind of close my eyes and imagine what the match would be.
• 2:31:57
  [UNKNOWN]: And not to say that it was bad because it was great professional wrestling like in the context of like the guys were hitting each other hard.
• 2:32:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Like the footwork was good.
• 2:32:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Everybody was in the place that they needed to be and for the spots that they were doing and all of that and like it was good.
• 2:32:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess it plays to my overall problem with it feeling like destruction has kind of become the new power struggle in a way where it's like everything is kind of a foregone conclusion on the way to something else because like go to heading into this title match felt really cold to me because like we all know it was going to be sugi and oiwa like in king of progress
• 2:32:46
  [UNKNOWN]: And some ways I almost wish they would have went with Sonata as the title Challenger for this because at least in that there would be more of a discourse of like
• 2:32:56
  [UNKNOWN]: what was going to happen, what the match would be like, you know, nobody would think Sonata was going to win, but there would be more engagement and more of a question of like, okay, what's going to happen with Sonata?
• 2:33:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Are we going to get House of Torture Law or something else?
• 2:33:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Whereas with GoTo heading into this, we all knew it was going to be GoTo is going to give a great match, and it's going to end with Suji winning.
• 2:33:22
  [UNKNOWN]: And so they didn't really do anything that made you think that it was gonna be something different.
• 2:33:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And so like I think like it was wrestling on a good level or a great level, but to me the stuff that's always the most exciting is when you know what the audience expectation is and you go in with the intention to subvert that.
• 2:33:48
  [UNKNOWN]: And they didn't really do anything to subvert that.
• 2:33:52
  [UNKNOWN]: It was just very like, you, like I said, you can close your eyes and picture what it was going to be.
• 2:34:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Like if they had gone in here and like in the first five minutes, go to a hit like a GTR or something, that would be something that would have me popping out of my seat of like, oh shit, they're doing something completely off what I expected.
• 2:34:15
  [UNKNOWN]: But it was pretty much just them working a standard match up until like the last two or three minutes when go-to hit that chop.
• 2:34:23
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's when I was like, okay, we're in kind of uncharted waters, like there's a chance go-to is gonna win.
• 2:34:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But I never felt like go-to had a chance of winning up until the very, very end.
• 2:34:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And so I wasn't invested in the majority of the body of the match because I figured what the finish was gonna be.
• 2:34:42
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I don't know, yeah, I would have liked them to kind of deviate from the formula or do something a little different.
• 2:34:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Like it wasn't bad, it wasn't boring.
• 2:34:52
  [UNKNOWN]: It was just very pedestrian, I guess, up until that shop.
• 2:34:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, the last two minutes were really exciting, and I did feel like there was the chance of something happening in that moment, even though like deep down I knew, like, okay, it's gonna be a sugi and oiwa.
• 2:35:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, they did create a little bit of doubt there at the very end, but I would have liked to see that play out differently throughout the match.
• 2:35:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I would have been fine with them going 15 minutes, or whatever, or 20 minutes with goto getting in something big early to make you think, okay, they're gonna do the shock upset here, but they didn't really play into that at all.
• 2:35:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I guess that was my biggest problem with the match.
• 2:35:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, it was a good match, maybe even a great match,
• 2:35:39
  [UNKNOWN]: but it just didn't break into like that upper tier for me because it feels like the rest of the year is planned out.
• 2:35:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Now it's fair.
• 2:35:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Again, to go the cage when I try out just for the pair or something, they have an 8.65, so between 4 and 4 and 4 and a half.
• 2:35:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So closer to me, but you know,
• 2:35:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 2:35:59
  [UNKNOWN]: If I'm agree with the inmates too much, I might not be a good sign.
• 2:36:04
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this matched to me, at least, having enjoyed a lot more, saved this show from being like a bad show.
• 2:36:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Because before this, it was kind of, I ain't bad, it's too strong, a mid show.
• 2:36:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Like a state of being a mid show.
• 2:36:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Like this became like, you know, at any time you got this great of a man event, you know, I don't regret watching this show.
• 2:36:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So, the rest of the show really kind of take away besides that one tag match.
• 2:36:26
  [UNKNOWN]: But, you know,
• 2:36:27
  [UNKNOWN]: It's the made of that was great at least, so.
• 2:36:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, actually in Kobe review.
• 2:36:33
  [UNKNOWN]: It's always kind of a nothing show anyway, because obviously King of Forests is a far bigger show.
• 2:36:37
  [UNKNOWN]: But, you know, especially these days, I think G1 winner actually gets through Hellish out there.
• 2:36:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, there's ways that they can work on that where it doesn't feel like a skippable show, but, you know, it's where we are.
• 2:36:54
  [UNKNOWN]: So what's coming up?
• 2:36:56
  [UNKNOWN]: A little bit of a break, but then they're back at it a week from tomorrow on October 6th, a cork and haul of the first or two nights.
• 2:37:03
  [UNKNOWN]: That show is headwind by the IWGB tag team titles.
• 2:37:06
  [UNKNOWN]: The great O'Con and Hanoi go for the first defense against Oscar and U.S.,
• 2:37:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I assume the knock-up owners are wetting, which will be funny given how Oscar talks shit about, O'Con always losing his titles in the first defense, so I think the history is going to repeat itself to be honest, but I guess we'll say, do you disagree?
• 2:37:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-
• 2:37:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 2:37:30
  [UNKNOWN]: It's kind of 50-50.
• 2:37:32
  [UNKNOWN]: I can see a world in which KOB wins the titles or I can see a world in which they lose but then win World Tag League and then go on from there.
• 2:37:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, the rest of the New Japan calendar after this is like kind of uninspiring, you know, on the build to the Tokyo Dome.
• 2:37:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah.
• 2:37:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we have the real, oh, then we have the, the second night at Corken on Wednesday.
• 2:38:04
  [UNKNOWN]: The big match there is the junior title, which is yo making a third defense against Robbie X. I don't really, could Robbie X win this.
• 2:38:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 2:38:13
  [UNKNOWN]: I kind of doubt it, but it would be a big deal.
• 2:38:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess it would be dead.
• 2:38:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm kind of biting on the storyline that it's probably going to be a yoga retention and we're going to get some type of show storyline and it's going to be showing you the Tokyo dome to kind of pay off the big blow off match that they didn't get to have a couple years ago because yoga hurt as in her to shoulder.
• 2:38:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, maybe.
• 2:38:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Robbie, yeah, I don't think
• 2:38:49
  [UNKNOWN]: And also that guy, Iris, who came up, who's coming over from Vietnam is also debuting here.
• 2:38:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So, interesting.
• 2:38:56
  [UNKNOWN]: It seems like a lot of CMLO people I just didn't work in the New Japan undercurrents lately.
• 2:39:01
  [UNKNOWN]: It's kind of interesting.
• 2:39:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Then Monday, October 12th, King of Pro Wrestling, we have four matches so far.
• 2:39:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Yoda, Suji, versus Rio, Rio, Rio, App, and I debuting very title.
• 2:39:13
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm on team, Suji, routines, I think.
• 2:39:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think I was wedding.
• 2:39:16
  [UNKNOWN]: What do you think?
• 2:39:24
  [UNKNOWN]: It feels like momentum-wise, it would be a very smart thing for them to have oil will win.
• 2:39:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Or maybe not necessarily smart, but a lot of people would be really happy if oil will won.
• 2:39:38
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think you got to do that every once in a while.
• 2:39:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess your framework just depends on what you think the January 4th main event is going to be.
• 2:39:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, I think it's probably, I think Suji Umino feels like the most likely to me.
• 2:39:58
  [UNKNOWN]: It could be Suji, you, yeah, too, though, but at the same time, like, if you're thinking, Umino, Umino has got the match with Gabe Kid, and so if he wins a global title, that's, that's probably not going to be the, uh, the rest of the kingdom in event.
• 2:40:16
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 2:40:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I guess I'm kind of like, in a mindset of just taking it as it comes and kind of seeing where things go with my interest level, I'd like to see whom we know in Suji as a main event, I think that would be exciting, but I mean, Yuya and Suji too, I think would be really good.
• 2:40:37
  [UNKNOWN]: That I guess you and Suji feels more likely so yeah, like I lean towards like Suji retaining But I think it would also be really cool if they were to do this switch to oiwa and you know do the oiwa and you you know rematch
• 2:40:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we have Gabe Kid going for V2 against you after you meet out with a global title.
• 2:41:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't, I just, I kind of just thought of us already.
• 2:41:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Hopefully, hope to guys show it as well.
• 2:41:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't take much more of this Gabe Kid story line.
• 2:41:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I think he probably is.
• 2:41:15
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, folks, we're now here.
• 2:41:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I had a little bit of technical difficulties, but I think the results now.
• 2:41:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Thanks, but you thought we lost John, audio shorting for a second.
• 2:41:26
  [UNKNOWN]: have hours in here, but anyway, yeah, so the more I was doing the preview, the game in the, I said, I think shows the line, I hope, as did you disagree with the last two things?
• 2:41:42
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I, I lean towards Suji, yeah.
• 2:41:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, sorry for that, for the game in Shoda.
• 2:41:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, game in Shoda.
• 2:41:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, that's, that's a tough one to pick, honestly, because like, I don't know who you would have for a Challenger for Shota, you know, if it, if it, maybe Zach, I guess, yeah, I'll, I'll go with that.
• 2:42:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I, yeah, Shota wins and then Zach Challenges.
• 2:42:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I think Zach is, Zach is probably challenging, Zach is probably challenging, like, Wolf, Wolf, I think, but, but yeah, I don't know.
• 2:42:23
  [UNKNOWN]: guess what I have to say.
• 2:42:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess that's what makes it exciting like you don't really know like there's a lot of directions that they could go.
• 2:42:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 2:42:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess what I have to say.
• 2:42:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, it could be federal winning and facing sushi.
• 2:42:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh.
• 2:42:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that would be an another double gold, but maybe maybe it's used to climb to the, I don't know, maybe they just don't do the double.
• 2:42:51
  [UNKNOWN]: I just haven't went out and go for it.
• 2:42:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 2:42:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I really have no idea.
• 2:42:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess we'll find out.
• 2:42:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Or it could be showed a moxley finally.
• 2:43:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, then we had the never title match, which I talked a little bit about too.
• 2:43:04
  [UNKNOWN]: What I was saying when you were disconnected apparently, I didn't even know yet at the time.
• 2:43:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, is Wolf and Fujita.
• 2:43:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like this was always meant to be a stop on the way to doing Wolf and Zach at the dome.
• 2:43:16
  [UNKNOWN]: For instance, Zach beat Wolf and the G1.
• 2:43:18
  [UNKNOWN]: But the problem, quote unquote, is that Fujita is so great in this wall right now, and it's been such a great little shit as the challenger.
• 2:43:25
  [UNKNOWN]: I would probably just have him win.
• 2:43:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I would just change the plans to have him win and do the rematch of the dome between these two, because it's a few different great, but I don't think it's going to happen.
• 2:43:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I think the New Japan does not change the plans very often, so I think Wolf is just going to retain and go on the face sack, but yeah, like do the rematch of the dome or either do like Zack and Fujita at the dome.
• 2:43:50
  [UNKNOWN]: uh uh yeah that could be great too right that concludes you that would be really cool but I want this wolf to right so yeah true uh then the other come for a match is never six man titles Osprey, Henari, and Great O'Con versus Utoe Ice, Oscar, and Axe
• 2:44:08
  [UNKNOWN]: uh, who the fuck is X?
• 2:44:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 2:44:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, if it was like Jeff Cobb or something, they would just announce that Um, could it be somebody returning from excursion?
• 2:44:17
  [UNKNOWN]: It would be a little early for like a Muroshima or somebody, but who knows, I guess?
• 2:44:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, could it be somebody else joining the company?
• 2:44:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Could it be, uh, kind of, there's somebody speculating trying to think of the fuck it was.
• 2:44:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait and say basically, but yeah, I think whoever, I mean, I think they're going to win, because first of all, I mean, I sprayed, this is their first defense and they haven't, they've had these bells since fucking May at this point.
• 2:44:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So I spray obviously can't be around much to defend them being the AW role champion.
• 2:44:48
  [UNKNOWN]: But the other thing is, you know, every time I think they don't lose, I think they're going to do the
• 2:44:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah.
• 2:44:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think they are going to lose.
• 2:45:00
  [UNKNOWN]: I think we're going to get the angle here to convince some people to buy some Tokyo.
• 2:45:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't take it.
• 2:45:04
  [UNKNOWN]: So, what do you think?
• 2:45:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
• 2:45:13
  [UNKNOWN]: I, talking about it, it makes me more excited for New Japan, I guess, because like, there's a lot of directions they can go in a lot of different matches, like ice calling out
• 2:45:29
  [UNKNOWN]: is an interesting thing because like you kind of wouldn't want Osprey like his team to lose like on the first defense, but I mean if they do then in some ways I kind of sets up like something for ice and Osprey later on and it's like I don't think that's going to get paid off in New Japan and I don't feel like it would be paid off in AEW.
• 2:45:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So you don't really know
• 2:46:00
  [UNKNOWN]: So I guess we'll have to wait and say, I mean, it's like you're saying it's like there's a lot of different things they could do, which is does feel exciting and there's a lot, you know, I mean, we don't really even know what the main event is going to be, I don't think.
• 2:46:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, in some ways you can say, maybe the least exciting option is the UIA in surgery one and I feel it's not like I wouldn't like to see that match, you know, let's don't you don't mean so.
• 2:46:24
  [UNKNOWN]: As I am officially a ticket holder for this show now, I don't think I mentioned that, but I bought my Arena A tickets and the fan club for you sale, so I'll have the same seats I had this past year, so you know, I think there's a lot of stuff on this show, I think looks exciting.
• 2:46:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 2:46:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, the, the open, the loss and ticket general sale, I think one of the general sale date, I think it starts like right around the time of keeping a harassing, which makes sense.
• 2:46:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So like obviously you want to run your big angles here to convince people by tickets, because you have the last free sale is October 7th to the 12th, which is the loss and ticket special free sale for like loss and ticket members.
• 2:47:05
  [UNKNOWN]: So the regular sale probably starts like,
• 2:47:09
  [UNKNOWN]: because I'm trying to find a dig.
• 2:47:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't see a date for the general on sale on the site.
• 2:47:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, October 14th.
• 2:47:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so it starts two days after.
• 2:47:17
  [UNKNOWN]: It starts two days after the show.
• 2:47:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So obviously you want to have like your big matches set to like, you know, sell tickets.
• 2:47:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think we'll get the, um, we'll get the big, uh, we'll get the big Kalan Osprey wake boy showed down.
• 2:47:30
  [UNKNOWN]: They've been building all year, I think that will be confirmed here, at least very obvious it's happening, and we'll get whatever the main event is going to be, I think we'll be obvious here.
• 2:47:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not the first person to say this, but I want to throw a total dark horse that I want, you know, I want to sound like a genius if it comes true.
• 2:47:49
  [UNKNOWN]: To see a night, though, keeps talking a lot of shit about New Japan in his roles due to
• 2:47:56
  [UNKNOWN]: and you're a sugy, basically told him.
• 2:47:58
  [UNKNOWN]: The night doe was like, we have to beat.
• 2:48:00
  [UNKNOWN]: We have to get as close to beating real goat which we can, because they run real goat with them like a couple of weeks.
• 2:48:04
  [UNKNOWN]: And sugy backstage said, if you want to beat New Japan night doe, try to beat us in the wreck.
• 2:48:10
  [UNKNOWN]: And they've obviously, they've only ever done one sugy night doe match before, where night doe beats sugy to retain the eye to beat you all over the title against him.
• 2:48:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So would they do a Tokyo Domain event of sugy night doe?
• 2:48:23
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not saying, I'm not saying I think it will happen.
• 2:48:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm saying if it does happen, I won't be that surprised.
• 2:48:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I feel like the signs were there in hindsight.
• 2:48:32
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think it would definitely draw, too.
• 2:48:35
  [UNKNOWN]: So that is not predicting it again.
• 2:48:40
  [UNKNOWN]: But I am going to say, well, if it happens, I'm going to be that shocked.
• 2:48:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Or you can buy these tickets, a showshin book tower.
• 2:48:47
  [UNKNOWN]: That's kind of cool.
• 2:48:48
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a cool little place in Akiva.
• 2:48:50
  [UNKNOWN]: There's like all this whole wrestling floor practically, I've like books and like CDs and shit.
• 2:48:56
  [UNKNOWN]: You can buy a wrestling ticket there.
• 2:49:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, anyway, that's just, that's a little, I want to put that, I'm going to put that as my third most likely, is it a most likely to me feels like sugyu, yeah, the second most likely feels like sugyu and Shota and then third most likely going to put a sugyu night to.
• 2:49:19
  [UNKNOWN]: That's not unfair, like night to has been making a lot of noise about that.
• 2:49:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, night to has been dumping on Noah though at the same time.
• 2:49:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, he's like, you guys really can't draw without me, huh?
• 2:49:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And that N1 show didn't do that great.
• 2:49:38
  [UNKNOWN]: So the N1 core, can I mean without him on the show?
• 2:49:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And what I him in the N1.
• 2:49:44
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, so there's your due to pan that you got to move on finally because I think we've gone almost three hours already.
• 2:49:48
  [UNKNOWN]: We got a few more promotions to talk so.
• 2:49:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So DDT, I think that's one of the quick because I've done a lot of things to say about the lot of the mass of the show.
• 2:49:55
  [UNKNOWN]: But now we're into the Shinjuku face final shows here.
• 2:49:58
  [UNKNOWN]: First of all, it's DDT face final.
• 2:50:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Good by the Shinjuku face with gratitude for 21 years.
• 2:50:04
  [UNKNOWN]: This is our Shinjuku dramatic dream, September 27th, so yesterday, Junjuku face, no one
• 2:50:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Open with an NWA junior performance, maybe the final fake wrestling I had on forwards in the buildings, and this happened after the Tokyo Joshi show with the upper girls performance, and let's forget, let's say there's something on the super Japan show, if you didn't add in watch, the D&T sped off, or something on the final face show that I'm not expecting, this could be the last fake idol performance.
• 2:50:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, did you watch this with your heart-breaking, over-never again, you can see fake idols perform?
• 2:50:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I didn't, John, I'm sorry.
• 2:50:43
  [UNKNOWN]: You fast-forward it didn't you?
• 2:50:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I clicked right on the screen like a bunch of times.
• 2:50:53
  [UNKNOWN]: How dare you?
• 2:50:53
  [UNKNOWN]: The file fake I had a performance in Chiduku face and you just skipped right past it.
• 2:51:01
  [UNKNOWN]: The opening match, the first thing that my fellow John saw on the show at all, because he heartlessly skipped past these young men giving out their, uh, performing their hearts out and their final idol performance.
• 2:51:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Drew Nakia might be Masami in a how that with the Explodersuit Flex 1120.
• 2:51:19
  [UNKNOWN]: A strong opener for a rookie match, it helps, of course, that the former Thunder Masami and JTO is more experienced in your average quote-unquote rookie.
• 2:51:27
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this one is hard.
• 2:51:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I like it better than almost the entire destruction in Kobe show besides two matches.
• 2:51:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So Masami refused to quit.
• 2:51:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Even got June up into this RGT back right at one point, only very briefly though, before I came.
• 2:51:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I had locked him from up there to get out of it, but that was something.
• 2:51:45
  [UNKNOWN]: They just kept kicking out everything, including this big pile job where I thought might have been it.
• 2:51:49
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I came off finally got the pin with another running knee when he's done a bunch of them at a row in this match, and then the exposure suit flex three and a half stars.
• 2:51:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they were really highlighting in a hot-o-on this.
• 2:52:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I think shuddy's really good.
• 2:52:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Just got to see for his experience level.
• 2:52:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 2:52:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 2:52:07
  [UNKNOWN]: No, he is definitely.
• 2:52:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Match 2 was Tomi Mitsu Matsunaga and Dachi Sato, beating Huki Ishida and Kuma Dori.
• 2:52:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Sato Pint Ishida at the Mads Flash and 850.
• 2:52:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So this was really supposed to be, you are, God.
• 2:52:24
  [UNKNOWN]: who was supposed to be again.
• 2:52:25
  [UNKNOWN]: It's supposed to be somebody else.
• 2:52:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Casi was assuming.
• 2:52:27
  [UNKNOWN]: It supposed to be assuming.
• 2:52:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But assuming had to step up into the main event when downshadowed Dino Gaudel.
• 2:52:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So Matsu Naguk took a SUV's place here in this match.
• 2:52:38
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, this was pretty good.
• 2:52:40
  [UNKNOWN]: What, Fridger, why the fuck does Commodore still not have a fucking cage vascular file yet?
• 2:52:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Like you were disrespecting an actual B-boy here.
• 2:52:48
  [UNKNOWN]: What are you guys doing?
• 2:52:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, the little burst of sewer action between Daichi and Ishida was a highlight for me.
• 2:52:55
  [UNKNOWN]: It was even nicer for she to help his opponent back to his feet every one that battle.
• 2:52:58
  [UNKNOWN]: That was, that was cool.
• 2:53:00
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, match it a pretty frenetic taste in the closing stretch.
• 2:53:02
  [UNKNOWN]: I really picked up late.
• 2:53:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I went through in a corner.
• 2:53:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm enjoyable undercard tag here.
• 2:53:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about Kumendori.
• 2:53:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I feel like he is, I can't tell if he's either like a great bad wrestler or a bad good wrestler.
• 2:53:22
  [UNKNOWN]: If that makes sense, like he wants him, you'll know what I mean.
• 2:53:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Like some of this stuff just doesn't land quite how you want it to.
• 2:53:30
  [UNKNOWN]: It was better in this match though.
• 2:53:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I just remember like one of the last times I was doing Oma Kase.
• 2:53:38
  [UNKNOWN]: There was like a six man or an eight man or something that he was in where he did like one of those twisting presses like the the Vader bomb But like he did like an extra rotation on it and he landed like right on someone's face and I was like oh my god he killed somebody And he's not quite like at that level anymore, but like some of his stuff just doesn't quite land the right way
• 2:54:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So that's something that he's got to work out, but he was better in this match than what I've seen him before.
• 2:54:09
  [UNKNOWN]: And when he hits the ropes and does those corkscrews and stands back up after he ducks a close line, incredible.
• 2:54:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I've never seen the closest I can think is Jack Evans.
• 2:54:22
  [UNKNOWN]: He reminds me of like 2007 Jack Evans in a lot of ways.
• 2:54:27
  [UNKNOWN]: Really experimental, but just fun.
• 2:54:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's interesting comparison, I totally say it.
• 2:54:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I just, you know, he's, he's so part-time that it's even hard to get a feel for like what he really is, but I know, I, you know, he's, he definitely livens up a cart, you know, he's on, excuse me, pick up.
• 2:55:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, someone to catch a key here to an Akito with go to Hashi to feed a sandwich or to Kagi, Ken Oka and Naomi Yoshimura when he wrapped up in to Kagi with a man splash in 1113.
• 2:55:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, totally, I already told the hero of the story.
• 2:55:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I had that in my notes to tell now, but they already told it many hours ago at this point.
• 2:55:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, I totally forgot going to your garage to go to your house.
• 2:55:21
  [UNKNOWN]: She was out here just to be in the hero team's corner until you came out.
• 2:55:24
  [UNKNOWN]: You didn't get his own entrance to it.
• 2:55:25
  [UNKNOWN]: That was nice.
• 2:55:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So they announced he's leaving the UT, the end of September was contact expires.
• 2:55:31
  [UNKNOWN]: There must be some health issue with him.
• 2:55:32
  [UNKNOWN]: They couldn't even do overtime.
• 2:55:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Imagine now he's, I don't, I haven't heard what it is.
• 2:55:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe maybe you came out and I just haven't heard.
• 2:55:37
  [UNKNOWN]: but they just recently announced he's leaving the U.S. at the end of this month.
• 2:55:42
  [UNKNOWN]: His last match was back in April, so it's been a little bit.
• 2:55:46
  [UNKNOWN]: And he's roughly like the only three matches this year.
• 2:55:48
  [UNKNOWN]: He's been a pretty extreme part-timer this whole decade.
• 2:55:51
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, he's always kind of a part-timer, but he has a lot of like 40 plus match years if you look back in his cage match.
• 2:55:56
  [UNKNOWN]: But this decade, he's roughly somewhere between 11 and 19 matches every year.
• 2:56:00
  [UNKNOWN]: And this year obviously it fell off even more.
• 2:56:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, he's
• 2:56:07
  [UNKNOWN]: was kind of surprised that Ken Oka didn't get his own entrance.
• 2:56:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, we couldn't get one last fucking, I mean, I guess, I don't know.
• 2:56:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, I'm about to understand you could face, right?
• 2:56:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, why could we get one last fucking bad communication and should you do a good face?
• 2:56:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't understand.
• 2:56:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, it was a big decouching at the start of this match for another man leading me to the end of the month.
• 2:56:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I don't know.
• 2:56:30
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not just okay.
• 2:56:31
  [UNKNOWN]: It just kind of struggled to hold my attention at times.
• 2:56:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I did like Oka just spearing his own part at the Caggy on purpose as a gift to the uh, departing to Cal, and then go to came in the ring and did a big splash off the tap chair, which would decal pinned him at the fog splash, the match splash.
• 2:56:47
  [UNKNOWN]: It was okay.
• 2:56:48
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, two or three quarters.
• 2:56:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, nothing to write home about, but I will still always say Ken Oka is one of my favorite baby faces in all of wrestling right now.
• 2:56:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, it feels like he's trying to channel like late era, like Terry Funk, like he just, there's something about that man.
• 2:57:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I just, I love him.
• 2:57:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we had the DDT extreme title, sure-abbe seeds on all sides, battlefield of bloody combat.
• 2:57:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Shoema catsamata built in the catsuit with the German Suplex 1134, and make a second defense.
• 2:57:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, I guess the theme here is basically samurai, like the ideas like you're fighting and you have the samurai surrounding the ring, so I could just running a battlefield because I had like these foam swords, and Shoema had a samurai, a traditional hat.
• 2:57:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I just learned the Japanese word for this.
• 2:57:41
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it's Kasa.
• 2:57:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I think that's the kind of how it was a Kasa hat and he had a he had a I was own little like fucking plastic sword.
• 2:57:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So to catch these people the the catchers samurai were all the bizarre friends with them ready not know and Shuma had the end of a junior people with him.
• 2:58:01
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just, you know, they beat each other up at the plastic shorts or pool noodles or the fuck it is.
• 2:58:07
  [UNKNOWN]: You can issue it at a pool noodle or hierarchy or at one point for reasons of not entirely clear on.
• 2:58:11
  [UNKNOWN]: It was okay, though.
• 2:58:12
  [UNKNOWN]: I just didn't, you know.
• 2:58:13
  [UNKNOWN]: I just know that being kind of a regular match with some wackiness for what I just didn't do a lot for me, like two and three quarters again.
• 2:58:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I, I felt the same way, maybe a little bit less, but there was also like a lot of dialogue in Japanese that I think would have added to it if I understood.
• 2:58:31
  [UNKNOWN]: So I kind of just chalked it up to like, okay, I don't fully understand what's going on right now, so I can't appreciate it to the fullest extent.
• 2:58:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 2:58:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we have.
• 2:58:46
  [UNKNOWN]: The next match, which was the K-O-D tag team titles, Takashi Masada and New Yorker Roku, beat Shinya Iyuki and Juta Miyawaki, or Masada pinned Miyawaki with the Masada No, Chikara, Kobu, Muki, Muki, Muki, and 1725.
• 2:59:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So Shinya and Juta failed their second defense and pale youth became the 91st tag team champions.
• 2:59:08
  [UNKNOWN]: They only have these belts since August 11th, Peter Pan's end up being a pretty short reign.
• 2:59:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, good, this is like a good back and forth match never quite broken to great for me, although the closing stretch was hot at least They somehow the early Batwork with Duta and Masada was very smooth But then some of it got a little clunky unlike this the pinball reverse sequence a day with a big brings depth and stuff like that didn't look a little funky
• 2:59:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, mastata pinning due to got an enormous pop, though, it's clear nobody saw that one coming.
• 2:59:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought it was cool DAT to do one final title switch in this building that's been so important the more the years.
• 2:59:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, good match, another three and a half.
• 2:59:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, my favorite spot of the match was when Aoki was able to get the Aoki clutch and then Junta was going for like the double underhook like the chicken wing clutch at the same time and Aoki got his in first
• 3:00:02
  [UNKNOWN]: And so the guy that he had in that hole was able to kick out first and like escape it and then break up the hole like for the other guy because it was like okay if I can't get out of this the other guy can't get out of the one that he's in so I got to get out of mine so I can go save him real quick like I thought that was a great spot but
• 3:00:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, a little disappointed to see Aoki and Miyawaki lose the titles like so early.
• 3:00:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, it felt like there was a lot more like runway for them to like have more defenses than stuff.
• 3:00:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, they're in odd couple kind of tag team, but like, I don't know, selfishly like, Shinya Aoki's been one of my favorite wrestlers this year.
• 3:00:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So I wanted to see him be in a more meaningful position for a little bit longer.
• 3:00:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we had the false count anywhere, survival, four-way eight-man tag match, face final.
• 3:00:58
  [UNKNOWN]: The team of the Strangel of Connection, Mao, Canon, Yucchio, Niro, and Viento, Levante, got the win here.
• 3:01:07
  [UNKNOWN]: The other three teams were damnationTA, Deskizaki, Hadekiyo, Katani, MJ, Paul, and Illusion.
• 3:01:13
  [UNKNOWN]: than the team of Phantoma's dramatic, Chris Brooks, Hiroshima, and Tony O'Honda, and Hina Thekasai, and then also Yuki Yueno, Tori, Kazuma, Sumi, and Yuni.
• 3:01:24
  [UNKNOWN]: So again, Sumi, which is supposed to be Dino, you know, the plot the last second to the illness.
• 3:01:29
  [UNKNOWN]: This is just, you know, a party match.
• 3:01:30
  [UNKNOWN]: It was a lot of fun.
• 3:01:32
  [UNKNOWN]: It was not like any kind of like fucking, oh, you got to see this match, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
• 3:01:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, there was a, got a giant pyramid for some reason.
• 3:01:39
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a sake, of course, for himself, the very top.
• 3:01:41
  [UNKNOWN]: That was funny.
• 3:01:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, very nice.
• 3:01:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Topic on yellow, mucy or rainbow on the whole, this whole giant pile of mannity, not long after the pyramid spot.
• 3:01:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, so later on, day to day, it's a sake starting cutting a fucking piece of the wall than actually something for some reason.
• 3:01:56
  [UNKNOWN]: And then after already apparently said, you would try to sell his piece of face for 200 million yen.
• 3:02:02
  [UNKNOWN]: which even with the week is in the end is still like somewhere between one and one point five million dollars I don't know if I get paid that much for it's sake and to use that money to build a new Shinjuku face so I think that was a joke about Kota Bushi's fucking quest he's been on to build a new face which has been like a weird little thing he's been doing
• 3:02:22
  [UNKNOWN]: We got this a gong it too line that's stretched all the way in the crowd, you know, like they did a fucking gong it too kind of line basically.
• 3:02:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Toy was doing like his noise baking or whatever, I don't know how to what how you describe the toy noise making.
• 3:02:35
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like sort of like the shooting skywalker thing, but like he just does it very differently.
• 3:02:41
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, he's like, ah, I can't do it.
• 3:02:44
  [UNKNOWN]: with a toy, so you give you a little hugs him, I guess, to try to calm down, I'm saying, where you try to calm down a toddler.
• 3:02:49
  [UNKNOWN]: But then toy takes his tights off to reveal Ditto tights underneath, so Ditto could be part of the last E.T.
• 3:02:55
  [UNKNOWN]: phase show after all, that was cute.
• 3:02:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Toy put the tights on the right one instead, and then they took turns kissing Chris Brooks together, that was a real thing that happened.
• 3:03:03
  [UNKNOWN]: They point at illusion and go at what you, and try to double charge them for a cast with unity holding them up, but illusion avoided that.
• 3:03:10
  [UNKNOWN]: They had a kissing union instead.
• 3:03:12
  [UNKNOWN]: That set them up to take a full course from damnation, and ended with a illusion pinning union with a swan town bomb in 1853 for the first elimination.
• 3:03:20
  [UNKNOWN]: then everyone kind of ended up fighting up on the drink counter where illusion took an absolutely ridiculous bump on a mixture of no-co-drive from Mal.
• 3:03:28
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think that one is planned because look like his fucking side of his head smashed on this fucking one table.
• 3:03:33
  [UNKNOWN]: That looked nasty.
• 3:03:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no.
• 3:03:36
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like sideways.
• 3:03:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I was like, I hope this man is okay.
• 3:03:41
  [UNKNOWN]: That was the setup for Hirashi by giving him the tomato running double knees out there and pinning him.
• 3:03:46
  [UNKNOWN]: That happened at 2121.
• 3:03:48
  [UNKNOWN]: So that eliminated damn nation.
• 3:03:51
  [UNKNOWN]: So now you can go ice is neck, I guess, because look like a native it, there was some good action between strange love connection and the dramatic team back in the ring along with some flip flop and fly goofiness, but at end it with my opening had not he not that before too long, I actually don't was sorry, I work, yeah, I work now, okay.
• 3:04:10
  [UNKNOWN]: uh... map and he knocked out with the uh... cannibal for fifty and twenty six fifteen the last of the nation so these strange law connections for your winners uh... again good party match nothing got a lawyer say another three-and-a-half star good little match yeah and in some ways disappointing that it didn't go out with like
• 3:04:31
  [UNKNOWN]: their best foot forward, you know, just an absolutely fantastic match.
• 3:04:36
  [UNKNOWN]: But for the live crowd, like for the people that were there that night, they're going to remember that match.
• 3:04:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Like it was very much a match that was worked for the live crowd.
• 3:04:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh yeah, totally.
• 3:04:49
  [UNKNOWN]: After the big post-fatch goodbye when I'm for a long time, as you might expect, Sasaki announced he didn't think about his piece of building was my favorite part.
• 3:04:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Until the lights came back on, and Shinsure Jagagi brought out, for example, this village, Japanese woman, Miso Gawa, who's the manager of face, and Jun Akiyama came out with the bouquet of flowers for her that was so sweet.
• 3:05:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Out of the people understand, she did not want to close this building.
• 3:05:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean,
• 3:05:17
  [UNKNOWN]: She's basically being evicted by the landlord, the people who run the building, the entire complex, I mean.
• 3:05:23
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, she just runs this one little part of it.
• 3:05:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, the problem is like, what I don't know if this has actually been confirmed anywhere, but I believe they're gonna end up tearing the whole building down is what's gonna happen.
• 3:05:33
  [UNKNOWN]: That might have actually been confirmed somewhere, because it sounds such an amazing piece of real estate.
• 3:05:37
  [UNKNOWN]: It's right across from where they built that giant, you know, computer show tower, where I think they're going to tear that.
• 3:05:45
  [UNKNOWN]: This building's pretty old at this point.
• 3:05:46
  [UNKNOWN]: I think they're going to tear it down and replace with something new.
• 3:05:48
  [UNKNOWN]: because it's just, this real estate is like, again, like central central gap, Tokyo Railway State, and this amazing spot in the middle of a kabuki chair.
• 3:05:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Like basically, it's what kabuki chair kind of leads up to, basically when you walk for a wreck because you walk down like one of these big streets and leads you straight to the godzilla hotel and the kabuki chair tower and this building.
• 3:06:07
  [UNKNOWN]: And this building is just kind of old and to have just like a wrestling venue and like, you know,
• 3:06:13
  [UNKNOWN]: some fucking arcade or whatever.
• 3:06:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, you know, it's time for our cage and chicken too.
• 3:06:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, it just feels like they're going to tear it down and place with something else.
• 3:06:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So we'll see what happens, obviously.
• 3:06:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, there were some buzz that they wanted to open a new replacement venue somewhere, but I haven't heard anything about that since.
• 3:06:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So I don't know if that's even going to be possible.
• 3:06:30
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
• 3:06:32
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it was cool that she got her moment.
• 3:06:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Paul, I mentioned earlier of the Emerald Flow Show, I mentioned that he thought he recognized her from the bar in the area.
• 3:06:43
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm pretty sure I did too once he mentioned that.
• 3:06:45
  [UNKNOWN]: So it makes sense that she was just out there running the bar.
• 3:06:49
  [UNKNOWN]: It's probably not a big operation running this tiny little wrestling venue.
• 3:06:53
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, there's your duty to show.
• 3:06:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Good little show.
• 3:06:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Really, if it wasn't the last interview, fish show, I wouldn't say it was anything super special though.
• 3:07:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Moving on then, and let's see if any other thoughts on DDT?
• 3:07:07
  [UNKNOWN]: No.
• 3:07:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I've got to mention that so much a cow, and there was a couple post-fetched things that I mentioned, actually.
• 3:07:14
  [UNKNOWN]: We just mentioned these real quick.
• 3:07:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So so much a cow came out with his partner from freedom's Shota, and the two of them are going to challenge the tag titles next month at Korak and October 18th, again, even though to cow isn't out leaving to go freelance apparently still going to be booked by the
• 3:07:34
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so that will happen next month.
• 3:07:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And we also got the big challenge for Schumer Katzmata versus Yuki Reino to very good friends.
• 3:07:41
  [UNKNOWN]: We're going to meet for the extreme title at DDT Peter Pan.
• 3:07:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So that, that makes sense really cool.
• 3:07:46
  [UNKNOWN]: That one I'm pretty excited for.
• 3:07:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't really care about the tight touch challenge, but yeah, you may have to tell me that you don't care about a man named show to coming out to challenge after a title.
• 3:07:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess not, in this case now.
• 3:07:59
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm not very aware.
• 3:08:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Are you aware of showdown?
• 3:08:01
  [UNKNOWN]: You're piercing down bar, are you too, doesn't it?
• 3:08:04
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, he was, I haven't much much gambarian this year, but like earlier last year, like, yeah, he was he pretty regular.
• 3:08:14
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I'm not going to say I care a lot, but like he's not a bad guy, like he's solid guy.
• 3:08:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I am probably going to go to the gambari show this year, by the way.
• 3:08:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Because last year, if you remember, it was like the first day where I landed, I just was so exhausted I couldn't do it.
• 3:08:28
  [UNKNOWN]: This year, I'm landing on the 18th of the cork in the 22nd.
• 3:08:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So I think I'm gonna go to it.
• 3:08:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, I don't really have any good reason that too.
• 3:08:36
  [UNKNOWN]: And there's really nothing else that day so far.
• 3:08:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm just kind of like, I don't know, not like rushing to do it, because I never watched aonbarry really, so it's not like I feel like I need to see it, right, anything.
• 3:08:47
  [UNKNOWN]: But, you know, I guess I'm kind of waiting to see a card or whatever.
• 3:08:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Actually, do they have a card?
• 3:08:52
  [UNKNOWN]: That's a good question.
• 3:08:53
  [UNKNOWN]: How would I find out a gunbari card?
• 3:08:57
  [UNKNOWN]: That's a great one.
• 3:08:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I just watched the shows as a pop-up on wrestling yours, but I haven't watched.
• 3:09:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think I've seen a single-game bar issue this year, so I feel like I'm disappointing you as the gunbari reptile lived.
• 3:09:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, the answer is...
• 3:09:14
  [UNKNOWN]: The answer is they do have a website, so let's say.
• 3:09:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Is there anything scheduled for the show yet?
• 3:09:19
  [UNKNOWN]: The answer is no, which is not natural, I think it's still like, you know, almost three months away.
• 3:09:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, we have nothing scheduled yet.
• 3:09:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um, I mean, you know, I know Yuri, I see you're all the time on, uh, on these, uh, Joshy shows where she shows up and we're talking about.
• 3:09:36
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I was going to say we're going to get to Yuri's.
• 3:09:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, she's really good.
• 3:09:41
  [UNKNOWN]: So, um, they have a
• 3:09:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I have seen where they are running a cork in like a little bit more regularly.
• 3:09:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:09:54
  [UNKNOWN]: For cork in Mortal Kombat 2026, that's kind of funny name.
• 3:09:58
  [UNKNOWN]: October 31st.
• 3:10:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Can Oakak 20th anniversary debut part four versus Hiroshima?
• 3:10:03
  [UNKNOWN]: That's actually kind of cool.
• 3:10:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm at the bot set.
• 3:10:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, the tag tiles around the line, chinkasai, muzuki batashai, uh, I'm going to show them to you.
• 3:10:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, sumo and shui chikatsu mura.
• 3:10:15
  [UNKNOWN]: And the muzuki batashai is going to defend the spirit of gunfire warp title against.
• 3:10:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Also, the same guy, shui chikatsu mura.
• 3:10:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 3:10:23
  [UNKNOWN]: The same guy is going to challenge for the title and also defend one half of the tag titles.
• 3:10:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 3:10:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Interesting.
• 3:10:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's like, it could be all the frames like fucking up or something.
• 3:10:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, but anyway.
• 3:10:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, that's the October show.
• 3:10:38
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess I'll wait and see what the December show has to store for me if I decide to go to that.
• 3:10:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I probably won't, because there's just something else that day anyway, so I may as well.
• 3:10:48
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, let's go to Josie Down, which is the Josie fans of way to like three plus hours.
• 3:10:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So, uh, seriism, seriism 12 from Shinjuku phase this past Saturday, September 26th, a hell of a fucking show here as they almost always are.
• 3:11:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Just why I'm so bummed, but I missed the cork in the debut in December.
• 3:11:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I know everybody's like, shut up, John.
• 3:11:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't want to go to Japan at all and you're complaining, you're missing one show.
• 3:11:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh my god, no.
• 3:11:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, so we have to travel.
• 3:11:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know why I yelled at myself just now.
• 3:11:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm gonna do a good face.
• 3:11:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, did you see the fucking announcements for this one?
• 3:11:22
  [UNKNOWN]: No, what was it?
• 3:11:24
  [UNKNOWN]: So really, like, series like, okay, this building's closing.
• 3:11:27
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm going out with my most absurd announcements.
• 3:11:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, 593.
• 3:11:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So, Ray, there were not 600 people in this fucking building.
• 3:11:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Give me a fucking break.
• 3:11:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, she's really, really go, see really crazy on that one.
• 3:11:43
  [UNKNOWN]: That's a fucking worker right there, John.
• 3:11:45
  [UNKNOWN]: 600 people, it should do a good phrase.
• 3:11:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, maybe 600 people on the entire fucking building.
• 3:11:53
  [UNKNOWN]: They actually went down to Canada, everybody in game panic.
• 3:11:56
  [UNKNOWN]: She can't everybody in the dorks, the dorks place.
• 3:11:58
  [UNKNOWN]: She can't everybody getting fucking massages in the spa, a spa parlour, which I think are legitimate massages, not important for massages.
• 3:12:06
  [UNKNOWN]: She can't everybody in the fucking bowling alley, and that's what she got to five ninety three.
• 3:12:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So good, good for Surrey.
• 3:12:12
  [UNKNOWN]: But far the start of the show, she brought out Miku Kanawai as the guest ring announcer.
• 3:12:17
  [UNKNOWN]: So, Miku Kanawai is, of course, one of Surries, like, I would quite call up say students, but like, Prodigez, but she's out for a long time due to neck injury.
• 3:12:24
  [UNKNOWN]: So, it's a nice gesture by Surrey for one of the favorite juniors that I'm sure getting her a payday off of that.
• 3:12:33
  [UNKNOWN]: The opener was Celine Messora from the seedling promotion, beating soy from evolution in 710 with a boss and crab.
• 3:12:40
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, it was a pretty good opener.
• 3:12:43
  [UNKNOWN]: There's a lot of the bigger soy, just kind of letting Celine down song for her.
• 3:12:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Celine did get more of a chance to show she could do later, though, including a nice cross body off the top, or she tried for a cross armbreaker, which soy was able to reverse for a roll-up before just larding the shit out of her charging in.
• 3:13:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I thought that might actually be the finish, but Celine did kick out.
• 3:13:04
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, sorry locked pretty much right after that, she locked on the Boston crown and Celine tapped out almost immediately.
• 3:13:09
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, pretty good like three and a quarter, nothing that special, but good, good, good little seven minute match.
• 3:13:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And he takes on Celine and so I,
• 3:13:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, I think I feel like it started off a little bit rough, but I think they kind of got it together.
• 3:13:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, Soy is the one that was in like the full body suit.
• 3:13:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Correct.
• 3:13:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:13:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:13:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:13:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:13:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:13:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I've seen a little bit of her stuff before and like, I think she has really good presence, but like her mechanics and the ring are not necessarily like all there right now.
• 3:13:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, so yeah, it started off a little bit rough, but I think they got it together by the end and uh, yeah, like overall good match, but like rough start.
• 3:13:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we had the Next match, which was, oh my god, why is this keeps, it's, it's, it keeps like not letting me pass it.
• 3:14:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, speaking of your, it's kind of kind of funny thing to say.
• 3:14:18
  [UNKNOWN]: They started off pretty good.
• 3:14:19
  [UNKNOWN]: We started off pretty good, but then really picked up.
• 3:14:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Once they started just pounding, you have a new chest with four arms after a couple minutes.
• 3:14:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, to Cassie ran Yuri down with a spirit one point.
• 3:14:31
  [UNKNOWN]: She took his awesome fucking flipping bump right in her neck floor, and took another hard bump on the general neck region, off a short arm leg from the Cassie as well.
• 3:14:40
  [UNKNOWN]: And you have to casting out the one she beat you're in despite you're being the way champion with that spinning brain bust or the twister, which that surprised me a little.
• 3:14:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if they're building to a tenor challenge or anything or what, but not like we could take out so you protected that much, really either.
• 3:14:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And send that in send that girls.
• 3:14:56
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, really good batch.
• 3:14:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Honestly a little better than I was even expecting.
• 3:14:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I like both girls.
• 3:14:59
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, three and three quarters.
• 3:15:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Very good.
• 3:15:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, as we'll get to like later on, like there's just something about this environment of Shinjuku phase that like just adds to like these small shows.
• 3:15:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Like,
• 3:15:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't say that any of these matches were five stars, although like one of them was pretty close.
• 3:15:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Yes, there's something about that environment that just adds to it and like the basics of like all these women on the roster were just off the charts.
• 3:15:36
  [UNKNOWN]: like the potential of a wrestling match.
• 3:15:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I think you have to look at like the scope of like what they're trying to do on the card and like you know a main event is gonna be judged differently than what like the second match on a card is.
• 3:15:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Because your main event like that's gonna get more time they're gonna get more opportunities and naturally they're gonna do more stuff to
• 3:16:00
  [UNKNOWN]: trying to entertain the crowd and they're going to try and have like the best possible match that they can because that's what they're there for.
• 3:16:08
  [UNKNOWN]: But all up and down this show, the basics of almost everything was executed so well.
• 3:16:16
  [UNKNOWN]: They're like the only way that I can really describe it is like this was like a five star three star match.
• 3:16:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, they didn't set out to have the best match you've ever seen.
• 3:16:29
  [UNKNOWN]: They didn't set out to have like a grand epic, but they executed the match on the card at the time, the best that you could possibly execute that match.
• 3:16:40
  [UNKNOWN]: And like, that was the kind of thing like throughout the card for me.
• 3:16:45
  [UNKNOWN]: like it's not the same at all and it's stylistically I wouldn't compare it to like a PWG show but like when I watched this show I felt like I was watching a PWG show in some ways like
• 3:17:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Amid 2010s are like early 2010s PWG show where it's like everyone was trying to have the best possible match they could have for that spot on the card.
• 3:17:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:17:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And like obviously like stylistic difference between like Joe she and like 2010s, you know, American indie or whatever.
• 3:17:21
  [UNKNOWN]: That same kind of principle of like, we're going to go out there and we're going to do the best that we can do in the seven minutes, eight minutes or like, you know, 15 minutes that we get.
• 3:17:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, it feels like, you know, these cards, there's like a pride, right?
• 3:17:41
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like, you got selected by Surrey from the fucking Workway Droshi fucking show, and you're going to go, so they want to go out there and just have, like, out of the anti-performance of the show.
• 3:17:50
  [UNKNOWN]: So it does feel like that for sure.
• 3:17:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And they were continuing the next match, which was sucassifuji moto and yuka from ice ribbon, beating lina, or really, really rena, but they're right, so it's lame now.
• 3:18:01
  [UNKNOWN]: So rena and sciarca choreo la, rena from lpwx in choreo la from uh, god, what the fuck is that thing?
• 3:18:08
  [UNKNOWN]: I get called again and we should be happy to name them a bit.
• 3:18:11
  [UNKNOWN]: T-harts, T-harts.
• 3:18:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Fujimoto, Pand Toriota, and 1331 with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex, who's awesome gang to see Yuga, who again, everybody listeners now, I'm a huge fan of Yuga, she's my favorite wrestler ice-reven, who's awesome going to see her make her surrealism debut here, so she's supposed to debut on chapter 11, the previous show,
• 3:18:34
  [UNKNOWN]: but she had a injury that took her out of that show.
• 3:18:37
  [UNKNOWN]: And she was so fucking bummed about it.
• 3:18:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she kept, you know, she clearly saw it as like a big break for her.
• 3:18:42
  [UNKNOWN]: She had to like really, you know, make a name for herself outside of ice revenue, you know, which has a very limited audience these days.
• 3:18:48
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, she was so sad.
• 3:18:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And she was like tweeting all this stuff about how sorry she was.
• 3:18:52
  [UNKNOWN]: But I'm like, you can't be sorry for getting injured.
• 3:18:54
  [UNKNOWN]: You got like, come on.
• 3:18:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I just felt, but maybe really worked my heart to read all that.
• 3:18:58
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, she looked fired up here to finally making her debut now.
• 3:19:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Some very hard kicks, right up the bat, first from Sucasa, then also from Rina.
• 3:19:08
  [UNKNOWN]: You could tag them the first time, and immediately started throwing her very, very, very hard forms to chest on Rina.
• 3:19:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Rina answered with a powerful lay kick.
• 3:19:17
  [UNKNOWN]: They traded back and forth like that a couple times before Yuga just fucking tried to keep her chest in for a while, a whole bunch of times in a row, such a badass.
• 3:19:26
  [UNKNOWN]: She then did a dive to the floor off the top.
• 3:19:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And then there was some very cool wrestling back in the ring with Yuka and Tori Oda.
• 3:19:32
  [UNKNOWN]: And Yuka was just a ball theory, even randomly knocking Rina off the apron for the hell of it, where she finally tied Fuji Motor back in.
• 3:19:40
  [UNKNOWN]: A wrestler is great having.
• 3:19:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Just great having, so Katsu would join her back in wrestling too.
• 3:19:44
  [UNKNOWN]: After all that time, she was out with the maternity leave.
• 3:19:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, rena just came up from behind Fujimoto and just kicked the shit out of her or if you had Toyota trapped across our armchair at one point that was fucking great and just a very great stretch front full of nearfalls where Sukha said just kills Toyota with her neck hanging double stomp from the tree of all position followed by this ridiculous.
• 3:20:06
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this.
• 3:20:08
  [UNKNOWN]: You get dove off the top rope with a fucking form right to toilet his face.
• 3:20:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she cracked her in the face when she landed.
• 3:20:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, how is that you were about to be safe?
• 3:20:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I hope the gods in horror was okay, honestly.
• 3:20:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe they just worked me, brother, but like, I don't know, have you ever seen that a diving form of the face?
• 3:20:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, no, I actually did it one last week, so yeah, that's I can You figured you should go to that guy that guy you like Matt you've been stiff that one time the story you told on the first episode will be like brother I have a great idea for a move You're going to lay on the mat and I'm going to dive off the top rope and form you in the face as hard as I can You're going to love that
• 3:20:58
  [UNKNOWN]: I should have, that would have been great.
• 3:21:01
  [UNKNOWN]: No, like, yeah, no, I mean, it was like, I don't think I can like overstay like watching it.
• 3:21:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Like the experience of seeing like how tight everything was on the show.
• 3:21:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Like the opening match was like the only one that like, I felt like some stuff was maybe off on like the basics.
• 3:21:25
  [UNKNOWN]: but like the footwork and the timing and the precision on like all of these strikes like everything was like it doesn't get tighter than that.
• 3:21:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I've watched wrestling for years and I've wrestled myself and I've like I've been around wrestling for a long time and to watch the way that these women were hitting their strikes
• 3:21:51
  [UNKNOWN]: the way they were running the ropes, like everything was just insane.
• 3:21:57
  [UNKNOWN]: On like when Fujimoto, it's just a small thing, but like when there was a sequence earlier on where there was like a wheelbarrow attempt, and it was clear like from the beginning like that Fujimoto wasn't going to take the other girl over on like the wheelbarrow,
• 3:22:19
  [UNKNOWN]: But if you watch, like, Fujimoto still tucked her head as if she was going to hit the wheelbarrow and then it was countered afterwards.
• 3:22:29
  [UNKNOWN]: And like, it's one of those small things that like, not to sound pretentious, but like, I don't know if everybody would pick up on.
• 3:22:37
  [UNKNOWN]: But the way that she tucked her head, it was like, okay, I'm going to hit the move and then it was countered afterwards.
• 3:22:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Whereas like me myself, I'm not that good of a wrestler.
• 3:22:49
  [UNKNOWN]: If I was going for a wheelbarrow and like to try and go for like the roll through, like cover attempt, I don't know that I would necessarily tuck my head if I knew okay, it's going to be countered and so like the next spot is going to be this.
• 3:23:06
  [UNKNOWN]: but like Fujimoto tucked her head like on the wheelbarrow counter.
• 3:23:10
  [UNKNOWN]: And so it was like just one of those things like watching where it's like, that's crazy because you're going through the motions of everything as if like it's a shoot which is crazy because it's such a novel concept but like they worked everything as if it was like
• 3:23:33
  [UNKNOWN]: There was no future intentions.
• 3:23:35
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just I'm gonna hit what I'm gonna hit now.
• 3:23:38
  [UNKNOWN]: And then it was countered.
• 3:23:39
  [UNKNOWN]: And so like it just, it, it, it flowed like so well.
• 3:23:44
  [UNKNOWN]: Um yeah, so yeah, I don't know like it's it's one of those things with like my experience and like I know I'm not a good wrestler right like I know I'm not like I'm not changing anybody's perception of professional wrestling But like to watch that and understand like the thought that went into it like it just amazed me and like impressed me of like
• 3:24:07
  [UNKNOWN]: the follow-through that they had on all this and the fourth thought that they had to to play and all this out and remember all that and lay everything out and like to be able to be in position for all those things.
• 3:24:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Foreigner people.
• 3:24:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, exactly, like it was, yeah, fantastic match.
• 3:24:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I went like four stars on it.
• 3:24:31
  [UNKNOWN]: And what's the score for a quarter?
• 3:24:32
  [UNKNOWN]: I have four in a quarter.
• 3:24:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And but like the thing about that is, like those women are capable of a five-star match.
• 3:24:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Like if you watched that match, the only thing limiting them from having one of the best matches you've ever seen in your entire life was the time frame that they had on it.
• 3:24:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Because if they went longer, like they could have incorporated so much more to make it like one of the best matches you've ever seen.
• 3:25:03
  [UNKNOWN]: And so like that's like I've only watched like the two seriism shows, but the thing about it is like these shows are so fantastic that it's like like yeah like the timing is the only thing that's limiting them like it's not their ability like they're able to do everything you've ever seen to have one of the greatest matches that's possible it's just
• 3:25:30
  [UNKNOWN]: They only went like, you know, like a shorter time.
• 3:25:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, like it's just amazing and inspiring to me.
• 3:25:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I really love the show.
• 3:25:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Because it's like, just the way we think about wrestling, it's like literally the only thing limiting to them was the time.
• 3:25:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Like it wasn't their ability at all.
• 3:25:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Like they were all there for everything they needed to be.
• 3:25:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's just basically kind of like replanting like how to structure a match.
• 3:26:03
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's like, it's the depth of the Josephie scene which I've talked about all year, but it's like, mostly people are not in the biggest promotion.
• 3:26:09
  [UNKNOWN]: There's one wrestler in the entire show that's a member of the roster, the biggest Josephie motion in the country.
• 3:26:15
  [UNKNOWN]: And a lot of people are in really tiny promotions.
• 3:26:19
  [UNKNOWN]: The case of Yuri and Celine, well, sorry, this is a lot for some of their girls now, but Yuri and Celine and Sucasa and Yuka and Yuri and Toyota,
• 3:26:31
  [UNKNOWN]: where Ryerson's fucking mid-genital control of all places.
• 3:26:36
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, there's a lot of incredibly talented Josie wrestlers right now.
• 3:26:41
  [UNKNOWN]: There's like more talented Josie wrestlers than there are spots in major league companies right now, which is kind of crazy.
• 3:26:47
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, there's so many reasons for it.
• 3:26:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And I feel like I talked about them endlessly in this year.
• 3:26:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So I don't want, and we're all, this isn't really really long.
• 3:26:54
  [UNKNOWN]: But like, the...
• 3:26:57
  [UNKNOWN]: the fact that these shows are so deep with all these talented wrestlers who, you know, serene wants to put a spotlight on that are in like smaller promotions, such a great thing serene is doing, obviously.
• 3:27:09
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, I hope some people who don't ever get to watch, you don't ever watch ice-reven, which is not easy to watch by the way.
• 3:27:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, they have a weird streaming set out of you if you want to watch them.
• 3:27:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's like,
• 3:27:21
  [UNKNOWN]: some of their shows are on YouTube, behind a paywall, and some of their shows are regular paywall but two weeks later or unless you buy the internet, it's like a weird setup.
• 3:27:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, they're not that accessible.
• 3:27:38
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, it's like a thing where you just kind of like, well, how do I even watch this?
• 3:27:42
  [UNKNOWN]: And I mean, the real answer is, you know, you know, you know, someone who knows, you know, is a thing or two.
• 3:27:46
  [UNKNOWN]: But, you know, it's just, it is hard for like a, you know, a total, uh, newbie just get into that.
• 3:27:52
  [UNKNOWN]: And this show, I mean, this shows a paper too, but like, you know, a lot of people make go on the way to watch the series and show this because they're so good.
• 3:28:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Um,
• 3:28:01
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, it becomes available in other places very quickly too because of how good these shows are and you know, it's a little more accessible.
• 3:28:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So, you know, that I hope people who never get to see you could get to see just how great she is and how great Fuji motor is too and how great.
• 3:28:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't even know how to watch LPW acts to be honest with you.
• 3:28:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I know I guess last week Eric would tell, we have to tell, we have no clue.
• 3:28:22
  [UNKNOWN]: So, and Rina is so, the fact that there's two different Japanese women's wrestlers named Rina who are both fucking this awesome.
• 3:28:29
  [UNKNOWN]: It's really bizarre, if anything.
• 3:28:31
  [UNKNOWN]: But, you know, the Rina and Starman, this Rina, who started going by Rina instead, like the actual English type name, just to differentiate herself.
• 3:28:39
  [UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, because, you know, fantastic match, foreign accorded stars,
• 3:28:46
  [UNKNOWN]: You can lean a brawl afterward too, so this food must contain you apparently, which is A, okay, with me, because they also thought on the ice-driven show, I'm going to talk about a little bit later, which was a few days before this.
• 3:28:58
  [UNKNOWN]: This semi-man event was Mariah beating Chichi in a 1301 with the Mila, Mila Malay shock.
• 3:29:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Chichi had this very dizzying cam effect for parts of her entrance.
• 3:29:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, what is it going on here?
• 3:29:12
  [UNKNOWN]: This strobe cam.
• 3:29:14
  [UNKNOWN]: They do it again for being in the main event of like, is this like the hot girl camera something like what is going on?
• 3:29:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Very strange.
• 3:29:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, three of them like the way they shoot their shows, they also do like a lot of like they switch the cam from like horizontal into like vertical.
• 3:29:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Which can be like disorienting at times.
• 3:29:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:29:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, the her new gear that was great though, um, like it's based on an actual like Barbie outfit apparently and like, um, it's like this hot pink and fucking, uh, you know, heart hot pink and zebra outfit that screams 90s to me, which makes total sense for obviously.
• 3:29:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, great outfit.
• 3:29:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Mariah mostly control over the side.
• 3:30:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Headlock to start good and tight, then we got a nice hard forearm exchange.
• 3:30:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Mariah stayed in control over for taking her down and doing a neck twist.
• 3:30:08
  [UNKNOWN]: Cheats you fire back at some strong looking big boots the face and her split leg drop thing she does.
• 3:30:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically look at my thighs.
• 3:30:16
  [UNKNOWN]: A great dramatic stretch from there with some really cool running spots especially like when Cheat Cheat almost took her head off of the big boot to see a boy that Mariah Lariat really strong submission to use for Cheat Cheat is for the 10 minute call too.
• 3:30:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But I though got her strong side headlocked back on a bit after that so he was squeezing that head like she was all you want or something even got a cool headlocked take down to the breathing so back up which forced Cheat Cheat to get to the ropes to break.
• 3:30:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Mariah just slubbed her in the face for the former one point.
• 3:30:45
  [UNKNOWN]: That was pretty sick.
• 3:30:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Molly retreated to get this great sunset flip out of nowhere with a kind of elaborate set up for a super close near fall.
• 3:30:51
  [UNKNOWN]: She then ran right into a big variant from Mariah though.
• 3:30:54
  [UNKNOWN]: The finster off of the spinning that death value driver to the pen.
• 3:30:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Four stars, great match.
• 3:30:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Mariah may think it's getting back to being very underrated because she never, she doesn't appear for, and places for long stretches.
• 3:31:05
  [UNKNOWN]: But whenever she does show up, I agree.
• 3:31:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I enjoy it.
• 3:31:07
  [UNKNOWN]: So, to start watching some mention of Cooper, I guess, to see more of her.
• 3:31:12
  [UNKNOWN]: She wrestles meta over there, so.
• 3:31:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Hell, yeah.
• 3:31:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And she just looks better every time I say her.
• 3:31:19
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, what are you going to say about that at this point?
• 3:31:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Just hell over a young wrestler.
• 3:31:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Chi Chi's munch match last month at the, uh, this series and show was insane.
• 3:31:31
  [UNKNOWN]: That was, uh, the match versus Sankha.
• 3:31:34
  [UNKNOWN]: That was one of those like crazy matches where it's like, they didn't have like any outstanding story or whatever like heading into it.
• 3:31:43
  [UNKNOWN]: And they were just like, hey, what if we went out there and we just thought like we fucking hated each other?
• 3:31:51
  [UNKNOWN]: and they just went out there and to beat the shit out of each other and like it was just amazing for me like I don't know like personally watching that where it's just like you don't have like a long built up story or anything but they were able to convey the feeling of like hey we don't know each other but I just met her today and I hate her and I'm gonna kill her
• 3:32:19
  [UNKNOWN]: and then they went out there and had like an amazing, I'm gonna kill this girl match against each other.
• 3:32:27
  [UNKNOWN]: So that one, I enjoyed that one a lot more than this one.
• 3:32:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, I felt like they went to like the finishing stretch like really early on in this one, and I wanted them to build like more in the body of the match, I guess.
• 3:32:43
  [UNKNOWN]: So like, I mean, it was a fantastic match, like regardless, it's just like,
• 3:32:49
  [UNKNOWN]: MI and Cheechi, like, everybody knows they're both really good.
• 3:32:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And so, like, I guess my expectations were just on a higher level.
• 3:32:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So, I guess I was just a victim of my own, you know, expectation on this one.
• 3:33:04
  [UNKNOWN]: It's so funny, when you were just like saying the thing about, um, there's a metal tube and I was hoping you'd keep talking to me on this.
• 3:33:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, when you were saying the thing about the, uh, oh, she just met her and decided to hate her for some reason.
• 3:33:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you thought of the Carly race on them.
• 3:33:17
  [UNKNOWN]: You just can't put their own remix.
• 3:33:19
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like I just met you and I hate you.
• 3:33:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, that's fine.
• 3:33:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe I don't know.
• 3:33:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm getting the lyrics folks here almost for hours and the less and very sleep deprived.
• 3:33:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, amazing video package for the main event going through the entire history of these surreal series of shows, uh, but one they skipped was chapter 10 at Yo-Kama Buddha Constance, um, that wasn't an education due to phase obviously the only one, but yeah, they went through all the other ones, they didn't, they didn't even just show the main event here, they showed some other stuff too, very good video package.
• 3:33:52
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, the main event, this was an incredible fucking match.
• 3:33:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Again, very, very high hopes for us going in.
• 3:33:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Love all four wrestlers, and it somehow exceeded them still.
• 3:34:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I was still, even better, I thought it would be.
• 3:34:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Another match of the year, Contender, Love, a match.
• 3:34:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I said there was gonna be two of the months episodes in a long time to talk about the other one.
• 3:34:11
  [UNKNOWN]: This was Spark Rush, Surrey, and Takumi Yeroha, beating Hazuki and Vaney.
• 3:34:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Surrey, using the modified Yerunaga, I'm Vaney, and 22, 32.
• 3:34:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, the big thing about this match, if you want to see women beat the fucking shit out of each other, just fucking incredibly violent women being incredibly Stephanie each other, this is the match for you, because these women held nothing back.
• 3:34:36
  [UNKNOWN]: When you're going there, my year of trying to give a quote or something after the Marigold tag, Mash earlier this year, well, she said like, every match for three, so we wanted a single smash for her, I think, and my year was basically like, I'm good.
• 3:34:48
  [UNKNOWN]: and the explanation she gave was like, you know, having a mattress to read is like getting in her car wreck.
• 3:34:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I think she said, or getting her car accident.
• 3:34:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's like, yeah, because to repeat so fuck out of everybody.
• 3:34:58
  [UNKNOWN]: But here she's against Hazuki and Vady, who also beat the fuck out of everybody.
• 3:35:03
  [UNKNOWN]: and they'll be the fuck out of each other.
• 3:35:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, it evolved into a big wild brawl, all-verring sign of the chair is almost immediately.
• 3:35:12
  [UNKNOWN]: And I can't even do my fucking complaint about outside brawlsing here because it was a super fucking sick brawl first of all.
• 3:35:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And second of all, we needed another tall round face before it closes.
• 3:35:21
  [UNKNOWN]: So, that was great.
• 3:35:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Got the big tall round face in the big brawl.
• 3:35:25
  [UNKNOWN]: It just keeps going and going in the ringside brawl part, but I mean that in a way that it rules.
• 3:35:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, they need tries to fuck and murder one of them.
• 3:35:33
  [UNKNOWN]: I think so.
• 3:35:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Ray with the ringbell hammer.
• 3:35:35
  [UNKNOWN]: And this was one of the things where I'm like, this must have been even more sec to be their life floor.
• 3:35:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, this was pretty sec I'm carrying on TV too, to be honest.
• 3:35:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, we finally got back to the ring with Vainian Hazuki working over Surrey and stomping on her.
• 3:35:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Hazuki's never shy about being a heel, most of you hasn't really been one in the while.
• 3:35:52
  [UNKNOWN]: She even does a box of reaching out while standing on her, that was great.
• 3:35:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, and again, one thing for, for, as, go to Surrey Gibbs, she can get it too, because she, uh, Hazuki almost fucking kills her with a dropkick against the ropes at one point.
• 3:36:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So Reed does the same right back to Hadjuku though, if he turns the table on or goes on offense finally, then to Kumi a Rohatag Zin and tries to kill a Zuki with middle kicks and near these accades, but yeah, I just became one of those matches where there's too much shit going on at once for me to recap it accurately.
• 3:36:23
  [UNKNOWN]: but in all fuckin' world, just by flying everywhere.
• 3:36:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Vainee does remove salt to the floor, spark rush and void in it, so ends up wiping out her own partner, then Cerid does a double stomp off the drip counter, under both of them, followed by another double stomp back at the ring to Vainee.
• 3:36:39
  [UNKNOWN]: She goes for one-to-one times though because when she goes back up again, Hazuki cuts her off from behind to Kumi tries to cut her off too, but the embers all of all this is Hazuki hitting a round up the top on Surrey.
• 3:36:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Surrey fucking forms, Vani's so hard in the chest, even Vani is like fuck that hurt and Vani pretty much never does that.
• 3:36:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she was like, the wave Vani sold this was not a rest of her selling.
• 3:37:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Vani was just like, like you could see the way she held her chest,
• 3:37:09
  [UNKNOWN]: could not be in the Shastity Order.
• 3:37:12
  [UNKNOWN]: That was totally the fucking body language out of her and the facial expression.
• 3:37:17
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, she gets one of the jaw that looked just as hard, so she boots the rear of the face pretty good and then hits her in the face with a form really hard, too, after you took a few more, incredibly sick.
• 3:37:29
  [UNKNOWN]: She hits a sit-out power bomb on her, but to cummy breaks up with a kick to the fucking face.
• 3:37:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Vady comes so close to putting some rear-way, first for the Mitch and O'Koo driver, and then a moon salt where I thought she actually had it for a second, but we'll have barely broke it out.
• 3:37:42
  [UNKNOWN]: The crab was chaining really loudly for the rear after that.
• 3:37:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it was tracking the fact that it was so insane that you'd get even for us a rematch and the nearfalls towards the ever crazy There was this roll up from bany where seri almost slipped out more than anything, but like a really cool like natural looking way and Then we got a viny one count kick out in a uranage We're seri finally put it away incredible fucking match four and three quarter stars Another match where I saw some height for before and it more than lived up to it went into six place on my mask the year Let's forget just outstanding clock and match
• 3:38:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think I said last year when I was on Omakase that Surrey might be one of the best wrestlers that's doing it today, like her strikes her precision, like her intention on everything that she does is just fucking crazy, like there's so much about this match, like I mean you unpacked it all,
• 3:38:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I, yeah, like it's, it's just incredible to watch, like her footwork, the way that she hits every strike.
• 3:38:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And that's the thing, it's every strike.
• 3:38:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Like every point during the match, it feels like she's trying to win the match.
• 3:39:01
  [UNKNOWN]: It feels like she's trying to murder you from the start of everything.
• 3:39:06
  [UNKNOWN]: But that being said, like, the body of the match, like belt built so well into the finish, it didn't feel like, I feel like sometimes, like wrestlers get into the habit of just, you know, the finishing stretch is the exciting part of the match, and so the body is just something that we have to get through to get to the end.
• 3:39:27
  [UNKNOWN]: This felt like it built all the way through, like into the end.
• 3:39:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it was, it wasn't sane.
• 3:39:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I might have been a little bit lower on it than you were, but like, it was one of the best tag team matches that I've seen all year.
• 3:39:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And if it wasn't for the existence of KOB in New Japan, I would say that Spark Rush would probably be my tag team of the year.
• 3:39:52
  [UNKNOWN]: It's just, they're not together enough as much as KOB is, and they're not in like the same, they don't get the same spot like that KOB does.
• 3:40:04
  [UNKNOWN]: But like their chemistry together, like everything about it, it's like it's one of those things like everyone needs to go out and see it and form their own opinion on it because it's just incredible and like trying to describe it just doesn't do it justice.
• 3:40:20
  [UNKNOWN]: That time I was muted.
• 3:40:23
  [UNKNOWN]: It happens, it happens.
• 3:40:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:40:25
  [UNKNOWN]: OK, incredible fucking match.
• 3:40:29
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just really, really, really great show.
• 3:40:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, this is pretty much, oh, we are.
• 3:40:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Which is why I'm saying I'm going to miss the one and correct it all, the 20th, but what are you going to do?
• 3:40:39
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, it's just schedule.
• 3:40:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm John.
• 3:40:41
  [UNKNOWN]: You've got to get him.
• 3:40:42
  [UNKNOWN]: I tried so there's a no way to do it because basically the 26 is the U.K. County Fluke retirement show.
• 3:40:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we leave for Osaka on the 27th of the D.T.
• 3:40:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Corrigan 113 a.m.
• 3:40:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm only in Osaka for two days.
• 3:40:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I promised my friend we'd go to the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto on the 28th and then I had to be back and took him the 29th for fucking dream queen them.
• 3:41:03
  [UNKNOWN]: So it's nothing I can do.
• 3:41:04
  [UNKNOWN]: There's no way there's no other time to go basically.
• 3:41:07
  [UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, I'm basically fast, there's nothing I can do.
• 3:41:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So.
• 3:41:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Fun times, can't go to the show, I'm sure, I told the moment like that happened, I told Nicole, I'm like, Seria's going to announce some fucking main event that's going to hit me like a nuke.
• 3:41:23
  [UNKNOWN]: She's going to announce like, her versus Yuka, or like, I don't know, her into Kumi Roha versus, I don't even know, but you could be anything with her, so you really have no idea.
• 3:41:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Like her into Kumi, here comes a, make us out of my other time for one night only or something.
• 3:41:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she's something insane.
• 3:41:40
  [UNKNOWN]: put his first core again and I'm like, okay, it's gonna be something where I'm gonna be like, I don't, I'm gonna be in the same country and I'm not gonna be able to go to this.
• 3:41:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So listen, if I was your friend and you told me about the surrealism show, I would understand.
• 3:41:58
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, no comment on that, the next show we didn't talk about is the three as a show, and that's the reason we're just talking about that, is the send that girl show, they're a financial jacuzzi show on Wednesday, September 23rd.
• 3:42:16
  [UNKNOWN]: These last three shows, I think, all be pretty quick, because I don't have time to say about these matches to be honest, because I know we're getting pretty late here in the show.
• 3:42:24
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this one, uh, this opened up with, uh, you're a Suzuki and Kirai Kirai Wafana from Ice Ribbon, who's here because she's going to be in the, uh, the young rest of the tournament that's starting soon, being, uh, Lana Hizaki from seedling and the seedling, and the out-send egg rolls rookie right at the Cano, uh, in 1156 Suzuki, using a running new lift on Te Cano.
• 3:42:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Lana is okay.
• 3:42:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I would have prefer to see less Lana and more rain up personally.
• 3:42:54
  [UNKNOWN]: I just find Lana a little boring.
• 3:42:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, rain a finally to get in there.
• 3:42:59
  [UNKNOWN]: The match picked up a lot of course.
• 3:43:00
  [UNKNOWN]: There's mostly just her getting beaten up and selling.
• 3:43:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, first we're kind of jumping on her repeatedly and then Suzuki knows selling her and kicking her a bunch.
• 3:43:07
  [UNKNOWN]: But to kind of was really, really good at selling.
• 3:43:09
  [UNKNOWN]: So, uh, and Suzuki, uh, hit some very sick knees towards the end, including the one right to the face, the pin to the rest.
• 3:43:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, all that stuff was a blast.
• 3:43:17
  [UNKNOWN]: But given, I found the earlier parts with uh, Lana Hizaki pretty boring.
• 3:43:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like three stars on a total.
• 3:43:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no real thoughts.
• 3:43:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Matt's two, Chi Chi beat Sira, the rookie from the uptown promotion in 654 of the exporter.
• 3:43:39
  [UNKNOWN]: First of all, this was a version of supposed to be Chi Chi, versus Shin Sakura Harota, which would have been Shin Chi Chi, and I'm heartbroken that we did not get that, and somehow she couldn't make it or something.
• 3:43:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Very, very sad.
• 3:43:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, this match though was actually really good, especially for an extended squat.
• 3:43:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, it was just fucking, what the teaching is one bad fucking Barbie.
• 3:44:00
  [UNKNOWN]: She is a bad ass, and she beat the shit out of this poor girl.
• 3:44:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, it was about as good of a seven-minute sentence squat as you can have.
• 3:44:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Three and a half stars.
• 3:44:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Anything about this, Fetch?
• 3:44:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, no, no, no, it's so big.
• 3:44:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, match three, spike nishimer and zonus, meaning here you're gonna match a motor and lady lay, is it, yeah, lady we excuse me, it's pronounced for non-slee.
• 3:44:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Spike used the angel wing on Lee.
• 3:44:34
  [UNKNOWN]: So Lee is some X NXT woman.
• 3:44:37
  [UNKNOWN]: She was Gentala at XT again.
• 3:44:39
  [UNKNOWN]: They don't watch NXT, so I have no idea.
• 3:44:41
  [UNKNOWN]: But she's five, seven and kind of jacked.
• 3:44:43
  [UNKNOWN]: So she fit in really well there on this particular match.
• 3:44:49
  [UNKNOWN]: pretty good, but I thought like a little, I don't know if some in-substantial is the right word, but it's not, there's compared to what I was expecting.
• 3:44:57
  [UNKNOWN]: I enjoyed a well enough, but I just expected a little more out of it, I guess.
• 3:44:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And there we got, you know, it was like three in a quarter.
• 3:45:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think I came to the conclusion that Spike Nishimaura is one of my favorite wrestlers going right now.
• 3:45:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Got to take the floor that much about Spike and
• 3:45:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So, there's a lot about Spike, like one, I'm not gonna lie, I'm biased because she comes out to the song Reservoir by pup, which is one of my favorite bands, and it's one of my favorite songs by them, and I've also used them for entrance music, so we're immediately like, we're on the same wavelength, right?
• 3:45:43
  [UNKNOWN]: like there's something about her that like when she comes out like she has such a I don't want to say it because the kid say it and I'm I'm fucking old now but she has like such an aura to her like her presence and the way like her mannerisms and her gestures I think are like so just like engaging like there's something about it that just registers with me
• 3:46:11
  [UNKNOWN]: And then like the way that the crowd responds to her match, like she responds to the crowd.
• 3:46:18
  [UNKNOWN]: And there's also this thing where like she also speaks English at the same time.
• 3:46:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Like it seems like English might be like her first language.
• 3:46:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Or like it's at least kind of like 50, 50 between like English and Japanese.
• 3:46:31
  [UNKNOWN]: And so like there were times like later on in the match where she would say stuff in English and the clap the crowd would like laugh because it was like you know just sort of like a off-handed or like funny comments like to make an English and there's something that's like just so engaging about that like she like she she had everyone in the room like paying attention to everything that she did
• 3:46:59
  [UNKNOWN]: And like part of that is by design, like her presence and her presentation and like everything that she's doing.
• 3:47:06
  [UNKNOWN]: But then I also just feel like she's a really engaging performer and she works really hard.
• 3:47:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Like you can tell by like the shape that she's in.
• 3:47:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she's fucking jacked.
• 3:47:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she's bigger than almost anyone else like on the Sennagirl's roster.
• 3:47:20
  [UNKNOWN]: So I don't know like all of it together, just like meshes for me, and so like she's not someone that I think about like in the same way that I think about like go to sugi or whatever of like, oh, this is like a great match machine.
• 3:47:35
  [UNKNOWN]: that's just going out there to do what they do, but her presence and everything that she brings, I'm just like, man, she's cool as fuck.
• 3:47:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And every time I watch her, like, I don't expect it and then the music hits and I'm like, oh yeah, it's Spike Nishimura.
• 3:47:51
  [UNKNOWN]: And then she comes out and she hits her poses and she flexes.
• 3:47:54
  [UNKNOWN]: And I'm like, god damn, she's cool as fuck.
• 3:47:58
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, like, I don't know, like, she just registers with man.
• 3:48:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, I, she, and, um, the, the, the half of Baba, Mama, Minana.
• 3:48:13
  [UNKNOWN]: Yureka Oka, she's one of those that like I feel like if WrestleMania weekends were like a bigger deal in the United States than what they used to be, I like I feel like that's kind of on like the decline of like the prestige of that, but like if this was a couple years ago and like Americans got a taste of that, they'd be like, oh my god, she's the best women's wrestler in Japan.
• 3:48:40
  [UNKNOWN]: And like Spike Nishimura, I feel like it's on that way, Blink, where I'm like, if WrestleMania weekend got a taste of like Eureka or Spike Nishimura, I feel like we would all be like, oh my god, like these are the best women's wrestlers in Japan right now.
• 3:48:58
  [UNKNOWN]: But I mean, that's just a state of the rural business kind of thing, you can't control that.
• 3:49:03
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, like her presentation just jumps off the page to me.
• 3:49:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, just, I know, there you go, there's just fake Nishimura.
• 3:49:13
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't feel really strongly about it.
• 3:49:14
  [UNKNOWN]: Do you do to be honest?
• 3:49:15
  [UNKNOWN]: But it should see how the push goes for her.
• 3:49:17
  [UNKNOWN]: And, you know, if she does win the world title from Chihiro, and her upcoming title show, we'll see what that goes.
• 3:49:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, the next batch, Vaney, the unit in 716 with a spin kick, this was really good, like Vaney, lean into the size of anage, unit was a great underdog, just kept pound away and Vaney's chassis and when it clearly was a workin' but refused to back down.
• 3:49:40
  [UNKNOWN]: And you know, later got these really cool and near falls up or flash pin take down some of the great, the second one that was basically a rolling fire when it's carry especially for walking right into the East.
• 3:49:50
  [UNKNOWN]: That's sick rolling kick from Bany and then Bany put her away with the second spin kick right after that.
• 3:49:55
  [UNKNOWN]: How long has seven minute match?
• 3:49:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Three and three quarters.
• 3:49:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Match at the night might be.
• 3:50:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, pretty much as good as a seven minute match can be.
• 3:50:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we had the main event, which was the team of Chief Hero Hashimoto, Rio Mizanami, and Manami, meaning Amika Iwata, Mewuki Takasa, and Yurika Oka, Manami used the forward, forward, on Oka in 2213.
• 3:50:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I really got sad about Shinjuku face closing at the time all over again when Aniki came out where you missed Anami because like there was for some reason her entrance to particular Shinjuku face was really incredible.
• 3:50:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I think it was better than the one she did here honestly.
• 3:50:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she didn't even do the super long version here but like when when I was there one of these shows I think was a wave show where she did like the super long entrance where she's dancing around
• 3:50:53
  [UNKNOWN]: you know, if people cross going, ah Nicky, ah Nicky, and that you know that that fucking, uh, you know, party song of hers is playing, you know, it's like fun to the back, trying to think what the fuck are the other words in the song, all right.
• 3:51:07
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a, it's a, it's a pretty famous song, right?
• 3:51:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I can't think what it's called now.
• 3:51:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway, it doesn't really matter, but um, because I'm going to sound or get to see another on a key entrance in that in the exchange of QFACE.
• 3:51:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, the match was, there's match that was a lot more goofy than I was expecting, but I guess again, much like the idea to decide the sense face out with a party match, which I guess makes sense.
• 3:51:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, the big cheerobbers' makeup showdown, easy to hire the match, crab was all like, oh, what do you want to tag them?
• 3:51:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Which you're already in the ring, you know, because they knew it was your big chance of revenge from her latest humiliation.
• 3:51:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, but it didn't go on very long though.
• 3:51:49
  [UNKNOWN]: It did kick ass while it did.
• 3:51:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And I did like the final banami versus okay stretch too.
• 3:51:53
  [UNKNOWN]: And okay got to kick out a quite a lot.
• 3:51:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Like I thought banami's big, screaming splashes.
• 3:51:58
  [UNKNOWN]: It's going to be the end enough to end it especially.
• 3:52:00
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, when I'm easy to get in the pen, pretty much right after that anyway, it was really good when we got past the goofiness, but I thought the goofiness went on kind of long.
• 3:52:08
  [UNKNOWN]: So you know, three in a half, it was a good match.
• 3:52:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the goofiness at the early part of the match like that felt like that was a lot of the match like I was disappointed like earlier on because I wanted more of it and it got into that like later it just took longer to get there.
• 3:52:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So I wish the the less goofy portion of the match was a longer part, but yeah.
• 3:52:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we had, well, that was it actually what we're talking about.
• 3:52:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, find a little show.
• 3:52:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Nothing that important happened again besides being the last show of face, but I enjoyed it.
• 3:52:47
  [UNKNOWN]: It was probably better than DT show.
• 3:52:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 3:52:53
  [UNKNOWN]: And what's coming up next for some negatives is she can keep a first ring on Thursday, October 1st, so this this week actually, yeah, which is they start of their big tag their big junior wrestler tournament, so we'll see it check that out.
• 3:53:07
  [UNKNOWN]: I think I have that down to fucking record on.
• 3:53:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So I'm going to tell our method we got to record on this because I do want to keep track of this tournament.
• 3:53:16
  [UNKNOWN]: October schedule.
• 3:53:18
  [UNKNOWN]: No, I don't have it down.
• 3:53:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 3:53:20
  [UNKNOWN]: There you go.
• 3:53:21
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm out there real listening, I have this end share share.
• 3:53:26
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, but yeah, this is where I will beat you and do, sir.
• 3:53:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank you for coming on, talking about all this stuff with me.
• 3:53:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I've got two more, not the listener though.
• 3:53:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I've got two more shows to talk about, and I'm going to do on my own.
• 3:53:39
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I've always jumped evidence.
• 3:53:41
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank you for joining me on this episode.
• 3:53:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Absolutely.
• 3:53:45
  [UNKNOWN]: I appreciate you bearing through me with the technical difficulties of what I'm dying mid podcast there.
• 3:53:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Why are you gonna do it happens?
• 3:53:56
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, but folks, uh, just hang on one sec and you'll be back with just me to review the last two shows here, which should be to take that long.
• 3:54:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Don't know that one to say about you the one.
• 3:54:05
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Tokyo, Joe, she's ice ferman.
• 3:54:07
  [UNKNOWN]: So give me one sec.
• 3:54:08
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, folks, back here, to wrap up the episode here with a couple quick solo reviews, and like I said, I don't have a ton of things to say about either of these shows, so I think it'll be pretty quick.
• 3:54:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Start out with the Tokyo Jushi, Final Shinjuku Face Show, Tokyo Jushi Pro, Shinjuku Face Countdown series, I won't cry.
• 3:54:26
  [UNKNOWN]: There's no way I will cry from yesterday, September 27, Shinjuku Face.
• 3:54:30
  [UNKNOWN]: And now it's 500 fans, Supernova against eat full house,
• 3:54:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Again, a little skeptical of these numbers, but whatever, the same as the surreal one, I guess.
• 3:54:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, the opener was Shoko Nakajima, beating a Momo Sato, with the Northern Lights, Suplex, and 519.
• 3:54:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Basic, uh, rookie opener and stuff here, Sato continued to not stand out much at all so far, but I said the same thing about Xi'an for months, and she's really come around late late, so, you know, sometimes it takes a little bit.
• 3:54:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, two and a half stars very average match here.
• 3:55:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Oh, I've got to mention to you.
• 3:55:01
  [UNKNOWN]: A spirited performance of uppercut from the up-up girls for their phyto performance in this building ever opened this up.
• 3:55:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe felt like even extended performance maybe.
• 3:55:10
  [UNKNOWN]: So that was great.
• 3:55:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Match 2, Himawari and Mifu Ashida be Ren Konatsu and Shionkanzaki when Ashida
• 3:55:27
  [UNKNOWN]: you know, she on, she on comes out here and she had her own matching tiny sheep for entrance alongside Ren.
• 3:55:33
  [UNKNOWN]: That was adorable.
• 3:55:35
  [UNKNOWN]: He may worry about to the, to some flower.
• 3:55:38
  [UNKNOWN]: She really gets around in this promotion.
• 3:55:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, she, it seems like she has 50 tag partners that she teams up with at least semi-regularly, but I really love the team of cute but mean, himalari and cute and secretly mean sometimes me for Ashida.
• 3:55:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I just like they're great team to be together visually.
• 3:55:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Ren ends up with both sheep, so she could double-fist them as some kind of strange counter to mefus pompoms.
• 3:56:03
  [UNKNOWN]: That ended in a standoff, so I guess pompoms and tangy sheep are evenly matched, and they both just tagged out, which is pretty funny.
• 3:56:10
  [UNKNOWN]: Mefus cherries for Shinjuku face itself, unfortunately dear, you're a little bit late on that chair.
• 3:56:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, fun little undercard tag here.
• 3:56:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Three stars match three a three-way match.
• 3:56:21
  [UNKNOWN]: Rocku to feed a measurkey and palm hair a juku when rocku pin tower juku with the hurricane turn in eight forty seven
• 3:56:30
  [UNKNOWN]: This started with Junkin, between Mizuki and Rocket with Palm officiating.
• 3:56:34
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess it was for possession of Raku's pillow and Mizuki's hammer, which were both kind of the middle there, of the two of them.
• 3:56:41
  [UNKNOWN]: And they both just gave up finally and hit Palm with both items at the same time.
• 3:56:44
  [UNKNOWN]: That was funny.
• 3:56:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Probably the kind of matcher you could like close your eyes and imagine without needing to tell you what happened.
• 3:56:50
  [UNKNOWN]: But I enjoy this kind of wacky Tokyo Jochi three way that still manages to have some decent wrestling at times, too.
• 3:57:00
  [UNKNOWN]: that was quite amusing for Raku took a dreaded double shoe shot to the gut from both of our opponents, but she did get the last laugh though, she hit music in the head with Raku's shoe and then backslide, backslide in a palm for the pen.
• 3:57:16
  [UNKNOWN]: I enjoyed Raku hit, sorry, Raku hit music and they have with her own shoe, I should say it, right?
• 3:57:21
  [UNKNOWN]: So what about weirdly?
• 3:57:22
  [UNKNOWN]: and then she'd backslide her palm to the pen.
• 3:57:24
  [UNKNOWN]: I enjoyed this match.
• 3:57:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I went three at a quarter.
• 3:57:27
  [UNKNOWN]: The next match unfortunately did not really enjoy.
• 3:57:29
  [UNKNOWN]: This might be the weakest match of any show we can talk about.
• 3:57:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Any match of any show we're going to talk about unfortunately.
• 3:57:34
  [UNKNOWN]: It was the Shinjuku phase memorial six women tag match.
• 3:57:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Hyper-Mesal, Shion Shino Suzuki, and Udita-Kami, beating Mahiro Kiryu, Toga, and Kira-Summer, when Hyper-Mesal pinned Summa with the eye on the hero in 1308.
• 3:57:51
  [UNKNOWN]: The theme here, it was six women who all debuted at face, but this match in 14 was just a bit boring, probably because of the featured Mahiro for a long stretch.
• 3:58:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess, Mesal, that everyone in thanking Shijuku-Face or something, but also stopped a match, dead in his tracks, and was already boring anyway.
• 3:58:08
  [UNKNOWN]: which is not a good match.
• 3:58:09
  [UNKNOWN]: These are the worst things on some to card.
• 3:58:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Not like hard when you think just very boring, so like two stars.
• 3:58:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Not not good.
• 3:58:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we had Yuki Kami Fuku meeting Wakana Uihara with the diving famous her in 1034.
• 3:58:22
  [UNKNOWN]: The overeat explosion here.
• 3:58:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Started a little awkward with some strikes that didn't really land, but I thought it got increasingly good as it went on surprisingly.
• 3:58:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if I'm starting to turn the corner on Wakana, maybe I am.
• 3:58:34
  [UNKNOWN]: Cause I used to, like, she's been my most despised wrestler in the promotion and I really, she hasn't been that badly.
• 3:58:40
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, coming you started bullying her junior with some nice boots to face managed to power her over for a front suitplex that looked like it might lose her for a second, which kind of made looking more impressive, especially given that Wakana is not a tiny woman, uh, and coming you and that gave the pan with the second rope famous throughout the corner, uh, end up liking it by the end, went three in a corner pretty good little match here, um, they had a cute moment at the end where for coming you tossed around the regular flipper off the double
• 3:59:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Then we had Miyu Watanabe, Rikatatsumi, and Sakura Hatori, defeating Yuki Ino, Haru Kajishiro, and Chikana Nase, when Rikupin Nase with the Daydream Attorney in 1523.
• 3:59:23
  [UNKNOWN]: Miku and Miru and Rika got in a shoving match and kept pushing their own opponents aside to bring it up.
• 3:59:28
  [UNKNOWN]: That was funny.
• 3:59:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Apparently even having a lot of issues recently on all the on-the-half shows.
• 3:59:33
  [UNKNOWN]: So I don't know if that's building the something we're going to lose the titles, or if it's just to add board.
• 3:59:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Drawing of the tight-temple match, a Russell Princess.
• 3:59:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they got a tug of war over Chica de Nase, who finally got fed up and beat them both up again funny.
• 3:59:45
  [UNKNOWN]: But in this match, it was a little goofier than I thought it would be in general.
• 3:59:49
  [UNKNOWN]: It became a good match eventually, just took a while to get there, so I went like three and a quarter on it, you know, again pretty good.
• 3:59:54
  [UNKNOWN]: At this point, I was like, okay, the show is underwhelming me.
• 3:59:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Thankfully, the main event was fucking great.
• 4:00:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Suzy Bay, and I still end our Daisy Monkey defeated Ukiyari and Miriamashita when Suzy may pin a ride with the Ring of Bell in 1708.
• 4:00:11
  [UNKNOWN]: This, of course, was the Go Home Show for Russell Princess 7, so just not exactly look good there for Suzy Bay, winning the title since he pinned her pin the championship challenging on the Go Home Show, which never really works out with the challenger.
• 4:00:25
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, the snatch was awesome.
• 4:00:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Sorry that would suit you by giving a ride or ring a belt immediately.
• 4:00:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, like the moment the match, there's standing across each other to start the match and suit me to sit over that.
• 4:00:34
  [UNKNOWN]: That was very unexpected, very cool.
• 4:00:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Start had a ride on her heels immediately, but she was able to hit this desperation back elbow and tag out to me after being able to come in to break a pin on pin attempt first.
• 4:00:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, me and Endo ended up doing some quick outside of the room brawling didn't last that long.
• 4:00:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, there was some really great Matt wrestling this match.
• 4:00:53
  [UNKNOWN]: First from me, when Endo, when they got back on the running from the brawling, and then a little later from Orion, Susan May.
• 4:00:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, Susan May ended up reversing a scorpion deathlock in a way you rarely say, basically just like hooking her ankle out from under her.
• 4:01:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, Orion was just leaning into a size of an and so as we hit the 15 minute mark.
• 4:01:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I know I fast-forwarded her a bunch, but this episode's long enough.
• 4:01:13
  [UNKNOWN]: uh she really forms who's a mayhard and hit this big full Nelson bomb, I like the way she seemed almost indignant like very she had this energy of like this little thing you're still fighting me there's a little bumblebee like she had her hand on her hip at one point in a very hardy way to it's very good character work from her.
• 4:01:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, Susiebase scored with another Ring of Bell on nowhere though, but me, once again, dove in, I don't know where just like she did the start.
• 4:01:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, me, you accidentally high kick to her own partner, leaning to Susieme actually managing to get her much larger opponent up for the Cory Bomb.
• 4:01:45
  [UNKNOWN]: She didn't hit the rope-locked little dog and another Ring of Bell, which is enough for her to get the pen.
• 4:01:50
  [UNKNOWN]: great tag team match the only thing on the show worth going on your way to see i want four stars on it for flat um and yes who's your man arrived i'm really hyped for that should be a great telemaster muscle princess with a ride i guess leaning into a height size advantage and who's your mate can say she got in her head depending on the last show so let's say
• 4:02:07
  [UNKNOWN]: uh, uh, and endo and you mash it should be great too.
• 4:02:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll go through the card and second action.
• 4:02:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's do that in a sec.
• 4:02:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, post-batch was fun with Yamashita leaning everyone in saying goodbye to the venue, but you can rise to looks of noise, especially like she's like cleared over to use the main one point when she smiled at it.
• 4:02:22
  [UNKNOWN]: That was funny, but they did shake hands afterwards, so they were main good sports woman.
• 4:02:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, show is just kind of there.
• 4:02:28
  [UNKNOWN]: Most of the way, but definitely watch the main event.
• 4:02:30
  [UNKNOWN]: uh, Russell Princess 7 that's coming up in just a few days.
• 4:02:34
  [UNKNOWN]: October 3rd this Saturday.
• 4:02:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I have a 2 o'clock star time so a night of 1 a.m. start time live, which I might just watch live to be honest.
• 4:02:41
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll have to go out Saturday so I don't know.
• 4:02:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Should I do that?
• 4:02:44
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not very smart of me to do that, but I probably will.
• 4:02:47
  [UNKNOWN]: At least part is in I think.
• 4:02:50
  [UNKNOWN]: starts out with a opener.
• 4:02:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm pretty excited for this.
• 4:02:53
  [UNKNOWN]: We do these are two wrestlers who are both similar experience levels, very similar, like undersized wrestlers, although it is a little smaller.
• 4:03:01
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it is occurring versus Renco-Natur.
• 4:03:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Two wrestlers, I think, are both great.
• 4:03:05
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, this could be a really good opener.
• 4:03:07
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, match two, the debut of Cherry Saki Mori, as she teams up with Cheon and Momo Sato, to form a rookie trio against Himoari and Fino Suzuki and Rifu Rashida.
• 4:03:18
  [UNKNOWN]: Match three, a three-way tag team match, Rocku and Minimo, Pong Harjuku and Poko Tan, and Mahiru Kirio and Tama.
• 4:03:26
  [UNKNOWN]: So Rocku, Pong and Kirio all team up with, uh, mascots here, just going to be a comedy match.
• 4:03:31
  [UNKNOWN]: What do you want me to say?
• 4:03:33
  [UNKNOWN]: Match 4, this one could be quite good actually.
• 4:03:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Ajikang, Sakara Tori, and Kumadori, versus Chris Brooks, Kira Summer, and Shikana Nasai.
• 4:03:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, Chris Brooks always seems to do something great and when he comes to us in Tokyo, Yoshi, we really cool having Kumadori here.
• 4:03:50
  [UNKNOWN]: He's going to dance and, you know, just I don't know, he feels like a little mesh well with Tokyo, Yoshi, that could be good.
• 4:03:56
  [UNKNOWN]: Match 5, Vaniu Final.
• 4:03:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Yuki County Fuku and Bany vs. Wakana Rihar and Toga.
• 4:04:01
  [UNKNOWN]: Again, A-Tami have Bany show up.
• 4:04:02
  [UNKNOWN]: That's great.
• 4:04:03
  [UNKNOWN]: The final time we're going to continue to come out the telephone together, Yuki and Bany.
• 4:04:07
  [UNKNOWN]: That should be really good.
• 4:04:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Match six, Mizuki vs. Heiper Missal, special guest referee, you shouldn't have done their life here.
• 4:04:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Where the fuck that came from?
• 4:04:17
  [UNKNOWN]: But sure, I'm there guys.
• 4:04:20
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, Missiles not my favorite anything, but like that, just the sheer, like, we're this of seeing, uh, Missouki, and I've seen Jason Dunnawai go ahead and Missiles on the same ring.
• 4:04:33
  [UNKNOWN]: We'll probably count for a lot.
• 4:04:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we have a match for the setup, certified all Asian women's title, the Thailand promotion title that Shoko Nakajima has, she's going to defend against Zara Zucker, who's some American indie wrestler.
• 4:04:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Also, I guess a WWE ID wrestler, but yeah, Shoko is the fifth champion making her first defense here.
• 4:04:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know what to say about Zara Zucker, so I can't say about that match, but we'll see what happens.
• 4:04:59
  [UNKNOWN]: then another in national tell that would be defending the ease, international championship match, Buu Yamashida versus Alice Uendo, the 12 champion second deciding to defend the match.
• 4:05:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I assume Buu's gonna retain, um, it'll be kind of rural by the watch both members of Daisy Monkey lose here, but yeah, this is, I mean, this is like the tarot match it could be a match of the year, can't deny.
• 4:05:18
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, there's two amazing talented wrestlers on big show.
• 4:05:21
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, I'm sure it's gonna go very hard.
• 4:05:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, semi-man event, Ricka Tetsumi and Mia Wantonabe defend the Princess Tai Tiles against Uki-Ino and Haru Kazushiro, the 21st Champion teams third defending match.
• 4:05:35
  [UNKNOWN]: I could see it's going either way.
• 4:05:37
  [UNKNOWN]: I would not surprise you if Daging loses here.
• 4:05:39
  [UNKNOWN]: It feels like a big moment for Uki-Ino and Haru, you know, and Haru's...
• 4:05:43
  [UNKNOWN]: clearly a super rookie so you could easily have her win a tag title this soon.
• 4:05:47
  [UNKNOWN]: I'd more likely to see Daydream retain, but yeah again, I could really go either way.
• 4:05:53
  [UNKNOWN]: So it should be a great match to it, you know.
• 4:05:55
  [UNKNOWN]: And the main event, the Princess Princess title, Yuki Rai defense against Susie Mae, who's your national princess titles, not on the line, which feels like it gives away that Yuki's gonna retain.
• 4:06:04
  [UNKNOWN]: I really hope she doesn't, I really would like to see Susie Rai
• 4:06:11
  [UNKNOWN]: Now that I like you, you're right, but I just, you know, um,
• 4:06:15
  [UNKNOWN]: You know, we just used to make my favorite rest of the company.
• 4:06:18
  [UNKNOWN]: So one of my favorite in the entire world.
• 4:06:21
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, we'll see what happens.
• 4:06:22
  [UNKNOWN]: A stacked card for a company is having a great year.
• 4:06:26
  [UNKNOWN]: The ticket sales look really good too.
• 4:06:28
  [UNKNOWN]: So this should be actually check in.
• 4:06:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's check in on that actually.
• 4:06:31
  [UNKNOWN]: Tokyo, Yoshi.
• 4:06:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Because last time I checked it, what the ticket sales looked really good.
• 4:06:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Tokyo, Yoshi, Boston, ticket.
• 4:06:38
  [UNKNOWN]: Let's see what the, I don't even, I don't get the AI bullshit.
• 4:06:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I just want to go to Tokyo in a slice and take a page.
• 4:06:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, every single kind of arena A is still available, but arena A is to arena B stand S stand B Lady C all at the triangle for only a few left stand A is the only category that says just now and sale.
• 4:06:57
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, should be it should be a good crowd.
• 4:06:59
  [UNKNOWN]: We'll say though with the actual number ends up being.
• 4:07:02
  [UNKNOWN]: Alright, last thing we've talked about here is we continue, look, our last couple episodes have been not very long, so I feel like I need to tell, or by our standards, I mean, they've been like around three hours, so you guys would do for another true psycho-episode here, and I kind of knew you were going to get along and give it how much stuff we had to talk about on this episode, so.
• 4:07:17
  [UNKNOWN]: That's what you got here.
• 4:07:18
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a pro just midnight ESC around the Monday night, but still going to struggle.
• 4:07:22
  [UNKNOWN]: I was so exhausted earlier, I fucking fell asleep before, because I felt like three or four hours last night between, to be honest, I was pretty depressed about the pack thing.
• 4:07:31
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, just a very depressing thing to happen.
• 4:07:34
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I felt like I just could not fucking sleep at all, which I'm sure a lot of wrestling fans felt that way to be honest.
• 4:07:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, I mean, you know, I just didn't get any sleep at all.
• 4:07:44
  [UNKNOWN]: I felt I felt I fell asleep like 20 minutes for the third of this, for I recorded this shot and then me to take a nap right there.
• 4:07:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I just fucking fell asleep.
• 4:07:50
  [UNKNOWN]: And,
• 4:07:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, but now I feel wide awake, I say, you know, the energy of podcasting, I guess, like you really gets you going.
• 4:07:59
  [UNKNOWN]: All right, the last show we got to talk about here, because I know Nicole's going to come in any second and be like, what the fuck you're doing?
• 4:08:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Uh, Yokohama Ribbon 2026 September 2.
• 4:08:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So they did double-header at the Yokohama show venue they run.
• 4:08:12
  [UNKNOWN]: The first site really was not very interesting.
• 4:08:15
  [UNKNOWN]: Yoke, I'm a radiant hall, I should say.
• 4:08:17
  [UNKNOWN]: The first site was not very interesting, aside in watch it, so I can't review it for you.
• 4:08:20
  [UNKNOWN]: The second site I found pretty interesting though, and I had an interesting looking card.
• 4:08:24
  [UNKNOWN]: And I think it ended up being a little more interesting on paper than ended up being in reality.
• 4:08:29
  [UNKNOWN]: The beta event was really good and was worth watching.
• 4:08:32
  [UNKNOWN]: And there was some other stuff in the show that was like, oh, that was kind of cool.
• 4:08:35
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it was a little bit of a, not that special show on my opinion, just kind of, nothing like the one we talked about last week with Eric.
• 4:08:41
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this showed it a hundred-mithy-two people, the better of the two, because the first night did a hundred-and-thirty two, and definitely had the better card.
• 4:08:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, the opener, oh, first of all, can't do, they do the free-show introduction.
• 4:08:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, they bring out all the rest of the card.
• 4:08:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Canoka had no idea what to do during this.
• 4:08:58
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, it was really funny.
• 4:08:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, he eventually set over just standing on the second term buckle way in the background.
• 4:09:04
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, because we had a man on the show, as we'll get to.
• 4:09:08
  [UNKNOWN]: The first match, this was woman's progressing circle sponsored match, so the only actual wrestler in this match was Rico.
• 4:09:15
  [UNKNOWN]: The other three were from the circle that you can anyone can join.
• 4:09:19
  [UNKNOWN]: It's not actually full of trainees, like officially wrestling trainees.
• 4:09:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Basically, anyone they let anybody sign up, you do have to pay for this on like most of the time when you turn it for a dojo, you know, the dojo does not make you pay.
• 4:09:30
  [UNKNOWN]: You're just becoming student of the dojo.
• 4:09:33
  [UNKNOWN]: There's some exceptions like JTO, but it's not like American wrestling schooling.
• 4:09:36
  [UNKNOWN]: This, I guess, is sort of more like American wrestling swim or you're paying for the session.
• 4:09:41
  [UNKNOWN]: But I don't, I get the five, it's nowhere near as expensive.
• 4:09:44
  [UNKNOWN]: And it's not meant to be like real wrestling training.
• 4:09:46
  [UNKNOWN]: It's like you're not necessarily preparing for a wrestling career.
• 4:09:49
  [UNKNOWN]: It's more like they, because choke over I know does this too.
• 4:09:54
  [UNKNOWN]: It's more like you can show up, you can work out in a ring, you can do it as like exercise to like get it, feel for what it's like, but there's no actual commitment to becoming a wrestler.
• 4:10:03
  [UNKNOWN]: Like you don't actually have to debut or anything.
• 4:10:06
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, plenty of people will be co-owned to become a actual wrestler from this.
• 4:10:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, the hero sisters, Moe and Masay both came out of this program and a lot of other wrestlers from different regions of the Communist Party's programs.
• 4:10:20
  [UNKNOWN]: from the smaller, but the smaller corrosion is run.
• 4:10:22
  [UNKNOWN]: But there's no actual, like you don't have to know you're going to do.
• 4:10:24
  [UNKNOWN]: You can just train forever as long as you want to and just have fun doing the train, basically, is the idea.
• 4:10:30
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so these are all children, just like Rico.
• 4:10:34
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, three of them are not official wrestlers.
• 4:10:37
  [UNKNOWN]: So Rico and Miu defeating Suzu and Al, Rico pinning Al in nine months, 50 seconds for the school girl.
• 4:10:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe they will term trial.
• 4:10:48
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
• 4:10:48
  [UNKNOWN]: Well, I guess we'll have to say and maybe they'll become actual wrestlers But yeah, this was like 12 like they're unofficial.
• 4:10:53
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe I guess you would say I like how these two children I guess ow and Susu are told one and one out and it's said immediately charge over and simultaneously tag both their opponents Like they seem like for wrestlers to be I mean to in that The whole closing stretches back with them training near falls on rollups was actually really exciting and the crowd was super into regal And you're the getting pinned by ow especially
• 4:11:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but this was a perfectly fine wrestling match, like especially given the experience on an age of, uh, fucking, uh, the age of all four different powers, the experience level of three of the four offenders, I've seen people have.
• 4:11:28
  [UNKNOWN]: really, really, really bad for us matches before at Indie Shows in America.
• 4:11:33
  [UNKNOWN]: And obviously, like, if you compare these four, again, actual children to most of the people who wrestle in, like, I don't know, WWE divisivision, like the late 90s or something, they blew them the fuck away.
• 4:11:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, three stars, perfectly fine little match.
• 4:11:48
  [UNKNOWN]: uh... match to uh... this was yappy and resecagula beating the team of the hero sisters i just mentioned mowa and mosaic uh... it was yappy pinning mowa hero in fourteen twenty seven with a single-day crappled uh... first time she the hero sisters team in a while i think it might have been you know i don't watch every time i show them shows i'm not just misplomerating but it feels like they've been on opposite sides of matches and even different matches and totally a more often um... i think they're also in uh...
• 4:12:15
  [UNKNOWN]: I mean, the main promotion is actually the spin-off one, but I can remember the name of a fucking God, what the fuck is the name of that thing?
• 4:12:22
  [UNKNOWN]: Not, not ice-driven, the other one, why can't I think of it now?
• 4:12:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, the moment I get through, the moment I, like, stop recording, I don't think of it.
• 4:12:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Like, what the fuck is the name of that fucking promotion?
• 4:12:36
  [UNKNOWN]: It's a really weird name.
• 4:12:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Hot shoes shoe, thank you, people.
• 4:12:39
  [UNKNOWN]: Eric, somewhere it's screaming at his fucking iPhone.
• 4:12:42
  [UNKNOWN]: They, that's hot shoes, sir.
• 4:12:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So maybe they seem more often than they are recently.
• 4:12:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway, Piero says she did a whole long game sequence.
• 4:12:52
  [UNKNOWN]: I was, you know, that was something.
• 4:12:54
  [UNKNOWN]: Massey Hero, this tiny, like, 10-year-old or 11-year-old child did the bread heart kick up the turmbuckle pad counter spot while it was dragging me from Yaki.
• 4:13:05
  [UNKNOWN]: Pretty impressive, a 10-year-old doing that's far.
• 4:13:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Misa Kagura got booted out of the building for just standing on Masey's feet and it probably helped that Masey screen let's use being murdered.
• 4:13:16
  [UNKNOWN]: But I just standing on her feet got her screened that booted out of the building.
• 4:13:19
  [UNKNOWN]: Masey's come back on Kagura was actually quite something.
• 4:13:22
  [UNKNOWN]: There's just one spot where she kind of turned around in mid-air and termed what I thought was going to be a slam by Kagura and two like a bit of a mid-air plunge or something.
• 4:13:29
  [UNKNOWN]: I look pretty great.
• 4:13:31
  [UNKNOWN]: And then Moe tag Dan, the camera was cutting back and forth between the sisters and Kagura dancing in the corner for a while.
• 4:13:36
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know what the fuck that was about.
• 4:13:38
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Kagura would be able to have a pin with a Larry on my way, but the Larry, she can't wrap a full book pretty stiff.
• 4:13:43
  [UNKNOWN]: I was like, Jesus gives Kagura that is still a child and if she's like 14, but the second Larry didn't look as stiff.
• 4:13:49
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway, pretty good match.
• 4:13:51
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe a touch for him to start, but it picked up.
• 4:13:52
  [UNKNOWN]: So three and a quarter stars match three was the team of Yuki Minami and Riyoko Saki Mura.
• 4:14:01
  [UNKNOWN]: uh, beating the team of Minami Katsu and non-Torolaga, it was uh,
• 4:14:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Rioco, painting Taraga in 1437.
• 4:14:12
  [UNKNOWN]: So I was excited to watch this because as we talked about last week with being Eric on that episode, this is Rioco Sakimura, the holder of my 2025 Worse Match of the Year award, where she was a former Marigal wrestler and she faced Yuka Yamazaki in this match that was just horrendously bad.
• 4:14:33
  [UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I haven't seen, if she disappeared from my goal, then the baby probably basically fired her.
• 4:14:37
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but if she was wearing some pink belt coming out here, I mean, I wouldn't, when Marigal fired, I thought she was going to retire because she was that bad.
• 4:14:45
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she looked like she had no attitude for at all.
• 4:14:47
  [UNKNOWN]: Like she couldn't sell, she couldn't do moves, like not like couldn't sell.
• 4:14:51
  [UNKNOWN]: She couldn't take bumps.
• 4:14:53
  [UNKNOWN]: She laughed through all her attempts to sell and she couldn't do moves.
• 4:14:55
  [UNKNOWN]: Other than that, she was great.
• 4:14:57
  [UNKNOWN]: uh... yeah and you keep an army she also left marigold out and really known and she was chasing fine so it's a surprise you left and she was tired of that uh... but yet so when soccer bar started pop popping up again as a uh... free lunch hours like wow okay um... she was coming out here with the ninety-one woman's tag titles that she holds with flying penguin who by the way is also noticed she'll cook as she know of course still does rest of the marigold quite a lot which is kind of funny the other one these belts back in July apparently um...
• 4:15:26
  [UNKNOWN]: It was interesting that Katsu and non-basically worked heel here against the X-Marigo freelancers, the attack them for the battle, and also interrupted me non-Musical catchphrase.
• 4:15:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Now, Eric can tell me that Rio Go looks better.
• 4:15:39
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't think she looked good.
• 4:15:41
  [UNKNOWN]: but she did manage to do some moves and also take a few bumps, which puts your way ahead of her bargo days.
• 4:15:47
  [UNKNOWN]: So she does it better, I have to agree with Eric.
• 4:15:50
  [UNKNOWN]: She still has this annoying tendency where she's spiling and almost laughing way too much while she's supposed to be selling.
• 4:15:55
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know if there's anything she can do about that.
• 4:15:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Maybe she just needs to look at me or something while she's trying to take bumps.
• 4:16:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I called up a tiny hand mirror or something, but it just really, she doesn't look like she's in pain.
• 4:16:06
  [UNKNOWN]: She looks like she's happy, just very strange.
• 4:16:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I'll just give you a single-leg crap.
• 4:16:12
  [UNKNOWN]: Real copined, monami with an air ring crash, by the way.
• 4:16:16
  [UNKNOWN]: Single-leg crap, what is the actual pen, my bad.
• 4:16:19
  [UNKNOWN]: So it was an air-ring crash.
• 4:16:24
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway, the way I showed him puts the text results looks weird.
• 4:16:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Anyway.
• 4:16:32
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Ryoko, we're going to live in a very nice middle kick at one point too, so that was something.
• 4:16:37
  [UNKNOWN]: And she even managed to do a somewhat awkward, but otherwise, fine, like Lucha arm drag off the ropes.
• 4:16:42
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, she did, you know, again, the selling was her weakest part still.
• 4:16:46
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, like, as you still looked, they were like, she's about the laugh, but she did for a much stronger strikes than I can ever recall her throwing in my old, but she got in a form exchange with that with none.
• 4:16:56
  [UNKNOWN]: So that was something.
• 4:16:57
  [UNKNOWN]: Um, with no, I can't pronounce that one same.
• 4:17:01
  [UNKNOWN]: I think they fucked up a spot though when Ryoko gave her a spinning power slam and Katsu was supposed to accidentally double-stop her to pick up the pin and said the ref just awkwardly stopped counting two to fight no kick out and then Katsu did the double-stop so not sure what was fault that was but even with the blown spot and the occasional awkward despite Ryoko I enjoyed this so I went and they're going three stars on it I might have gone like three and a quarter even three and a half of top of that total fuck up so uh I would like to see both more of both these X-My goal girls so
• 4:17:29
  [UNKNOWN]: Match number four can OCA defeating Tartoro Satsuki in nine minutes and 41 seconds with the flame spear To be honest, this was the massive maybe most want to watch this show.
• 4:17:40
  [UNKNOWN]: I hadn't seen a Kenoka match him forever Before this ironically end up watching two of them in the week actually this because you're also in the DET show But unfortunately Satsuki set ski versus EREA this was not
• 4:17:51
  [UNKNOWN]: was kind of just a massive existed most of the way.
• 4:17:54
  [UNKNOWN]: It did pick up a bit and they started trading hard short on rare speech, other that was more that EREA Satsuki energy.
• 4:17:59
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay, then hit a nice sphere on her for a near fall for hitting another one to get the pen.
• 4:18:03
  [UNKNOWN]: I guess two and three quarters.
• 4:18:04
  [UNKNOWN]: It's kind of just there until the very end, but I'll give them a quarter star for finishing strongly at least.
• 4:18:09
  [UNKNOWN]: The sour made event was the team of Akane Fugida, Aresa Shinoza and Kawuma Shida defeating the team of Kari Yonayama, Makoto,
• 4:18:19
  [UNKNOWN]: taggy, taggy-de-hee-me-man-namu.
• 4:18:22
  [UNKNOWN]: It was a, she knows a pinning, pinning-man-na-man-namu in 11th and 18 seconds with the official shining wizard.
• 4:18:30
  [UNKNOWN]: I can't remember seeing man-namu before, she's a freelancer, and only the rest thing since 2025 didn't make a big impression here.
• 4:18:36
  [UNKNOWN]: Kind of just a very standard wacky, joshy, indie tag match.
• 4:18:40
  [UNKNOWN]: They really love partners' mispots and hit their own partners' spots for some reasons.
• 4:18:44
  [UNKNOWN]: So,
• 4:18:46
  [UNKNOWN]: But massive existence just didn't do anything much for me.
• 4:18:48
  [UNKNOWN]: We were two and a half stars The main event though.
• 4:18:51
  [UNKNOWN]: This was really good.
• 4:18:52
  [UNKNOWN]: This was a match.
• 4:18:53
  [UNKNOWN]: I was looking forward to and end up living up to the hype here So it was rena in psychatoria beating Yuka and Wakana Kirae We kind of killed Kirae Kirae I should say rena pinning Wakana in 60 men's and four seconds with the aero suria
• 4:19:11
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so again, this was not quite as good as the tag that had Wakana replaced by, um, by, uh, God.
• 4:19:20
  [UNKNOWN]: Best regards to Fuji Modo on the series of show.
• 4:19:26
  [UNKNOWN]: I think Fuji Modo wasn't on the show at all was wrestling for seedling that day because you've wrestled for both emotions I think there was a seedling show that day But yeah, the master started a hot right away.
• 4:19:35
  [UNKNOWN]: We got dives in the floor from you again.
• 4:19:37
  [UNKNOWN]: What kind of pretty quickly?
• 4:19:39
  [UNKNOWN]: It was like a certain base level of good throughout, but it got really hot down the stretch We're gonna hit some nice kicks or kind of repeat.
• 4:19:45
  [UNKNOWN]: They kicked out for trees finally put away the big spin kick
• 4:19:48
  [UNKNOWN]: which I guess is the air surria.
• 4:19:50
  [UNKNOWN]: Definitely the best thing on the show, just shy of notebook quality for me, three and three quarters.
• 4:19:55
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, this is a perfectly fine show, just not like any kind of like big standout or anything, just, you know, the main event, I don't even think I'd say, is like really highly recommended if you ever check this show down.
• 4:20:06
  [UNKNOWN]: So.
• 4:20:07
  [UNKNOWN]: There you go.
• 4:20:08
  [UNKNOWN]: There's your ice ribbon review.
• 4:20:09
  [UNKNOWN]: I do I people have noticed.
• 4:20:10
  [UNKNOWN]: I've been trying to cover them more often.
• 4:20:11
  [UNKNOWN]: I'm into the ice ribbon right now So what's kind of for ice ribbon?
• 4:20:15
  [UNKNOWN]: So this Saturday I've told her through they have a show from the Otocity Industrial Plaza PO small exhibition hall on camera
• 4:20:25
  [UNKNOWN]: Not a big car or anything, but there is some interesting stuff, I guess.
• 4:20:30
  [UNKNOWN]: Eric and I speculated that Sumica Yanigawa might be losing this title to Sukasa Fuji Motto soon, and they're in a tag match here with Yanigawa and Makoto teaming up in the manband to face Fuji Motto and Makana.
• 4:20:43
  [UNKNOWN]: We also have Yuga teaming up with her increasingly regular partner of
• 4:20:51
  [UNKNOWN]: God.
• 4:20:52
  [UNKNOWN]: Sorry, I'm going to include some of my voice, too.
• 4:20:54
  [UNKNOWN]: You can team with a Cleason Wedgeman partner of Kahel Masha Shida to face Akane Fugida and a Risa Finozae.
• 4:21:00
  [UNKNOWN]: Rico is teaming up with Hikara Manami against the same Mari X-Margo team, Riyoko Sakimura and Manami Yuki.
• 4:21:09
  [UNKNOWN]: Yuki Manami, I should say.
• 4:21:11
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, some good stuff here, just not a total of all goes back to facing actual women.
• 4:21:17
  [UNKNOWN]: It's her and Masa Hero against Yaki and Moe Hero, I guess women and girls actually.
• 4:21:23
  [UNKNOWN]: But yeah, interesting show here and not anything like, I say, must watch or anything, but I'm gonna watch it and review it on the next week's episode as the idea anyway.
• 4:21:32
  [UNKNOWN]: So yeah, that'll, there's your continued ice-fripping coverage.
