- 0:03[UNKNOWN]: Visit VoicesOfRecselling.com to hear the rest of our great podcast as well as show reviews, columns, opinions, and updates across the world of wrestling.
- 0:45[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
- 1:10[UNKNOWN]: Oh, that's a good one Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
- 1:20[UNKNOWN]: Welcome back, everybody, to arresting Omakase is episode number 313, so this is one of those weird ones where I am on the road kind of in theory and it turned out not to really be true, okay, let me get in all that.
- 1:34[UNKNOWN]: This is the first, not the first thing I'm recording, the start of the episode here, which is going to eventually be the start of the world review.
- 1:42[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, is that colossal con East this past weekend?
- 1:45[UNKNOWN]: It's now Tuesday as I'm recording this though, and I recorded way less of this podcast on the fly than I thought I would, like, you know, on the road or whatever.
- 1:55[UNKNOWN]: Which I had an amazing time at the convention I guess is the answer.
- 1:59[UNKNOWN]: I just ended up, you know, I thought I would watch more at least one or two more shows, you know, while I was over there.
- 2:06[UNKNOWN]: And I didn't really get such a while I'm scrambling to get all this done and you know I just had a good work on Monday too So you know hopefully I can get through everything I still need to watch today on Tuesday the 15th times So as I'm recording this and get this out the next day on Wednesday But you know no guarantee because I still got a I still have a watch triangle and then we'll do it record that part I got two all-to-pan shows.
- 2:28[UNKNOWN]: I think two either one or two Mari Gold
- 2:31[UNKNOWN]: depending on what I do.
- 2:32[UNKNOWN]: All I've done so far is like one all depending on two more gold.
- 2:34[UNKNOWN]: So it's like that's the part that I recorded on the road quite unquote.
- 2:38[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Klasokani's great fucking time.
- 2:42[UNKNOWN]: I met Ed, who was on this pie guest a few weeks ago.
- 2:46[UNKNOWN]: You know, the Toker Jeffy show.
- 2:47[UNKNOWN]: She did a great job of her wrestling panel.
- 2:51[UNKNOWN]: It was really, really, really, okay.
- 2:53[UNKNOWN]: So, people don't know anything about Cthulau's economy, so it should probably back up a little bit.
- 2:57[UNKNOWN]: It is an anime con held in the Pocano's every year.
- 3:02[UNKNOWN]: This is my first time ever going.
- 3:04[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, it's held at the Calahari resort, which is a, you know, a big giant.
- 3:09[UNKNOWN]: It has like an indoor water park and a hotel at Cthulau's House Convention Center.
- 3:15[UNKNOWN]: Now, when you stay at the hotel, you get access to the indoor water park, which is great, and that's why I end up watching nothing during the weekend practically besides that one algebra and show, because any time I had any downtime, I was like, I didn't realize how easy it would be to pop into that water park for like even like 60 to 90 minutes and just go down a bunch of slides.
- 3:34[UNKNOWN]: I just had an amazing time doing that.
- 3:37[UNKNOWN]: you know, it was just a lot of fun.
- 3:40[UNKNOWN]: You know, I bang my head pretty good on the one of the the ones like a ball, you know, they call it ball slide where you go into a big giant fucking you go down the body side.
- 3:49[UNKNOWN]: It goes into this big ball part.
- 3:51[UNKNOWN]: You kind of just spin around the ball until you go down and they really get flushed down the middle into the seven foot pull below.
- 3:58[UNKNOWN]: but like when you pass from the actual slide part into the ball part there's like a whiplash effect if I really tell you to hold your hands behind your head and I didn't do it correctly at that one time I wrote it I guess and I banged my head pretty good.
- 4:13[UNKNOWN]: We're didn't really hurt that bad though especially if the first 10-15 minutes but for a while I was like I just get my coffee and cushion I don't know.
- 4:19[UNKNOWN]: Um, like a true idiot, I went on to like eight more times after that.
- 4:23[UNKNOWN]: So again, I didn't already know as a massacist would know self-preservation instinct.
- 4:27[UNKNOWN]: I wouldn't know if to that.
- 4:28[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, that, that ride is awesome.
- 4:30[UNKNOWN]: Maybe it's on a one where like you stand on top of a, um, like a trap door, and somebody presses a button, then the trap door just comes out and you just go straight down, you fall straight down, go through a bunch of tunnels.
- 4:44[UNKNOWN]: Go through a bunch of tunnels and stuff like turns.
- 4:47[UNKNOWN]: That's that one's fucking awesome, too.
- 4:49[UNKNOWN]: The only one I don't like that's too much pain even for me, there's one of those ones that go straight down, right?
- 4:54[UNKNOWN]: Like it's from a high-up spot and it goes like you drop straight down, that wouldn't like for how short it is, especially it hurts my back way too much.
- 5:02[UNKNOWN]: So I went on one time and I was like, I'm good, this wasn't it, it's not quite fun enough for the amount of pain.
- 5:08[UNKNOWN]: You're like, it causes more pain on every side.
- 5:11[UNKNOWN]: And it's like, you know, just, you know, not quite fun enough, but yeah, you know, it was a really good time besides the water slides, you know, went, you know, went to other people's panels, hosted my own two panels that both went pretty well, I think,
- 5:28[UNKNOWN]: You know, the travel panel, I was so nervous about nobody showing up.
- 5:31[UNKNOWN]: People didn't, wasn't like they were diving people there because it was, you know, it's a 40 con and my panel is scheduled towards the very start of it for a Thursday two.
- 5:40[UNKNOWN]: But there really weren't that many people.
- 5:41[UNKNOWN]: Anybody's panels that I saw weekend because, you know, it's an notorious party con.
- 5:46[UNKNOWN]: And like I just talked about, there's like a whole water park in the water, although there really wasn't any lines or any of the water slides just great.
- 5:52[UNKNOWN]: But there's a water park, there's a free play arcade.
- 5:56[UNKNOWN]: And a lot of people just go into a party basically, too.
- 5:59[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, there really wasn't any crowding for anything, even though there were plenty of people around.
- 6:03[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it was kind of like the best case scenario for crowds.
- 6:07[UNKNOWN]: Like it wasn't like anime New Jersey last year that I went to.
- 6:09[UNKNOWN]: They had like nobody there.
- 6:11[UNKNOWN]: But it wasn't like Oticon and M.A.M.Y.C.
- 6:13[UNKNOWN]: Which anime M.Y.C.
- 6:14[UNKNOWN]: had apparently like 170,000 be able to see her just fucking crazy.
- 6:19[UNKNOWN]: where those are so crowded now, it almost feels hard to enjoy them.
- 6:22[UNKNOWN]: Like, this, I think, does like 12 or 15,000 or something, which is like, you know, it sounds like a lot of people, but it's not that many on 2026 US anime con, you know, scale, like the fucking older con does like 45,000 or something, I think.
- 6:38[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, it's definitely, these are, these plays are draw much better numbers than most wrestling promotions that I'm sure.
- 6:44[UNKNOWN]: Oh, and there was a wrestling show.
- 6:46[UNKNOWN]: That's the thing I was going to talk about before, but I kind of lost track.
- 6:49[UNKNOWN]: Um, so there was this American indie show, American indie promotion, I think, called Frontier.
- 6:55[UNKNOWN]: processing.
- 6:58[UNKNOWN]: I could add that wrong, but I think that's correct.
- 7:00[UNKNOWN]: And that was on Saturday.
- 7:02[UNKNOWN]: It was included in the price of the combat.
- 7:03[UNKNOWN]: You get the pan of the extra for it.
- 7:05[UNKNOWN]: And they held it in one of the event.
- 7:07[UNKNOWN]: Like, basically, one of these giant ball guns in the convention center.
- 7:11[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, they set it right up in there.
- 7:12[UNKNOWN]: It's about just seating and there's also standing room.
- 7:16[UNKNOWN]: You can kind of walk in and out whenever.
- 7:18[UNKNOWN]: So I showed up pretty late for it.
- 7:19[UNKNOWN]: I think I showed up like 430 or 445.
- 7:24[UNKNOWN]: I only managed to say like 45 minutes because it was pretty bad, I mean, I can't really why.
- 7:30[UNKNOWN]: I feel bad judging people who are obviously like probably low level and very end or very new, but like there was like one match.
- 7:40[UNKNOWN]: with this big fat dude and this skinny Asian dude, that was the best match on the show by far.
- 7:45[UNKNOWN]: The big fat dude was pretty damn good.
- 7:47[UNKNOWN]: Especially for a size that he could move really well.
- 7:50[UNKNOWN]: That was probably like if I was going to starrate it like a three and a quarter star match or something.
- 7:55[UNKNOWN]: The second match, I have very little memory of who was even in it or anything, but I just remember it was not good at all.
- 8:01[UNKNOWN]: And the third match I watched was this intergender match for some title with a fucking neat, like an aqua, an aqua colored bell.
- 8:11[UNKNOWN]: I've never seen an aqua color belt before.
- 8:13[UNKNOWN]: That was probably the worst recipe match I've seen this year.
- 8:16[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the two of that was like this tall and again kind of fat dude and the shorter and kind of fat check.
- 8:24[UNKNOWN]: And that's why the body shins is what they want over very heavy and they just did really bad wrestling together.
- 8:30[UNKNOWN]: They couldn't do any moves.
- 8:32[UNKNOWN]: It felt like the guy was scared to do anything with the girl.
- 8:35[UNKNOWN]: The girl was not scared to do anything with the guy.
- 8:37[UNKNOWN]: The girl was just fucking tean off on him at times.
- 8:39[UNKNOWN]: but they boxed so many moves they try almost everything they tried.
- 8:43[UNKNOWN]: Now, the crowd there, which was a fucking super no vacancy.
- 8:47[UNKNOWN]: And the crowd was, you know, the anime fans were over the fuck showed up for this fucking show.
- 8:51[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they were there, you know, they filled the fucking ballroom.
- 8:54[UNKNOWN]: And it was CNN remotely.
- 8:56[UNKNOWN]: The crowd loved this match, this faded being so horrible.
- 8:59[UNKNOWN]: And I think the, coming out, I think the girl's supposed to be the hero.
- 9:02[UNKNOWN]: And the guy's supposed to be the face is based on how they acted during their entrances.
- 9:07[UNKNOWN]: The crowd decided they loved this woman and they were all like, I don't know, the crowd was like, yeah, girl power kick his ass like they were so into this girl and whenever she would argue with the raff too, I'm sorry.
- 9:17[UNKNOWN]: I don't know on these wrestlers games.
- 9:17[UNKNOWN]: I have no idea.
- 9:19[UNKNOWN]: You wouldn't know the meter though.
- 9:20[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I didn't sure like I really into heavy like the US and these probably like really deep US and these, but yeah, she the girl they were so into the girl kick his ass, they were like starting to tell her to kick the referees ass like they were so into this girl.
- 9:34[UNKNOWN]: It was really really funny.
- 9:37[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just, you know, it was, it was very, um, trying to find out how you got to work email.
- 9:48[UNKNOWN]: I just distracted me for a second.
- 9:51[UNKNOWN]: It was very like, um,
- 9:56[UNKNOWN]: It was very like the crowd reaction that was really funny.
- 10:00[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, the rusting was no good, especially in the last two matches.
- 10:03[UNKNOWN]: So I just end up bailing the other thing too was kind of funny.
- 10:07[UNKNOWN]: It was like, I don't know what was going on because like 45 minutes in this guy comes out this older man and he's like, you know, you've seen some great rusting already citation needed.
- 10:16[UNKNOWN]: But he's like, uh, were
- 10:19[UNKNOWN]: We're one CW from Delaware and now we're taking over this show and I was like, oh my god, it's like being at the Tacoma Raw.
- 10:26[UNKNOWN]: It's like, Debbie's never taking over Raw.
- 10:28[UNKNOWN]: Like what is happening?
- 10:29[UNKNOWN]: I don't even know anything about FPW, near to any of the fucking people in the crowd.
- 10:33[UNKNOWN]: What's the fuck do we care if a different tiny indie is taken over the show?
- 10:36[UNKNOWN]: It's very strange.
- 10:37[UNKNOWN]: And that point started introducing a three-way match, which for his bad as the show was, that point was all singles matches.
- 10:43[UNKNOWN]: I was like, okay, three-way, I'm good.
- 10:45[UNKNOWN]: And that's why I bailed.
- 10:47[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, there was a fucking, there was a free play arcade and they had two, two, two, three machines and there was like never any way to play.
- 10:53[UNKNOWN]: So I was spending a ton of my time there, playing tune them.
- 10:55[UNKNOWN]: Just a great, great con.
- 10:56[UNKNOWN]: The only bad thing about it, so much better than the order con this year.
- 11:00[UNKNOWN]: The only bad thing about it was, it's in the middle of nowhere and the food in, so you can't walk to anything else.
- 11:06[UNKNOWN]: And you'd have to, you know, we took a neighborhood, one point or you can't walk to anything.
- 11:10[UNKNOWN]: And the food on site was so horrible.
- 11:14[UNKNOWN]: Like, the food quality itself is a best mediocre, but the fucking weight service, like the actual, I guess they're very overworked or something for the amount of attendees they have, but like, I can't remember the last time I got worse worse weight service.
- 11:28[UNKNOWN]: Like, as we were only in times, I got it, it was a different place than the Pogano.
- 11:31[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know what is wrong, Pogano's weighters, but yeah, I mean, like,
- 11:35[UNKNOWN]: I'm not talking standard like whatever weight service like I'm talking like we're at a buffet of all things and you do the actual ordering on a kiosk outside so you do like you know you can order you both pay for the actual buffet but the breakfast buffet and you can order any drinks I ordered a I ordered my mosa my friend ordered a regular orange juice you know we get to the table with our fucking receipts it took us 45 minutes and why aren't we finished eating
- 12:02[UNKNOWN]: which is like, okay, I don't know, what is going on here, but like that is ridiculous.
- 12:06[UNKNOWN]: And there was another thing where the day before we had breakfast, it took us like almost an hour to get a wait for us at all to come and give us the receipt.
- 12:16[UNKNOWN]: And we just like, I know, both times like, oh, I'll find your server, I'll find your server.
- 12:20[UNKNOWN]: Is our server in fucking to heaty?
- 12:22[UNKNOWN]: Like, what is it going on here?
- 12:23[UNKNOWN]: It was so like, it took us asking four different people in the buffet to find a fucking server.
- 12:28[UNKNOWN]: It was just incredible, just really, really weird.
- 12:32[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so good, good con, had a good time.
- 12:35[UNKNOWN]: The food was bad.
- 12:36[UNKNOWN]: Like the food is the one thing I'm like, okay, that kind of sucks.
- 12:38[UNKNOWN]: Like the bet one, the best thing I ate, the entire weekend was mediocre pizza.
- 12:43[UNKNOWN]: That's not very good.
- 12:44[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, just not a great food experience.
- 12:47[UNKNOWN]: I had to have the positive first sec for a work thing.
- 12:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so that's, there's my CCE,
- 12:53[UNKNOWN]: review i guess definitely i think worth going to i'm i'm gonna go back next year as long as i can get the calahari against actually kind of stressful to put that place it's everybody wants it because again it comes with a free fucking water park including the hotel rates so uh but yeah just had a great time all right let's get to some start him
- 13:12[UNKNOWN]: Uh, that is the first show we're going to talk about today, which was the start of the world, Yokohama Budakon show from September 12th this past Saturday.
- 13:21[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I did the attendance of 2009 people up almost 200 fans from last year starting the world show.
- 13:27[UNKNOWN]: It's did 1,814 for the side of Kamantani versus the be-pre-slee main.
- 13:34[UNKNOWN]: it was also up in the last time in this building this year.
- 13:36[UNKNOWN]: It did 1,057 for these Cinderella finals back in March.
- 13:41[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, a good crowd, I wouldn't say like any kind of blow-away crowd, but, you know, they did a good number.
- 13:46[UNKNOWN]: Um, okay.
- 13:48[UNKNOWN]: I got to start out with the English announcer, Jimbo, Jimbo, whatever the fuck his name is.
- 13:52[UNKNOWN]: I don't, I can't, what the hell's his name?
- 13:54[UNKNOWN]: I got at least
- 14:05[UNKNOWN]: jimble bungee, that is his name.
- 14:08[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 14:09[UNKNOWN]: So, jimble bungee.
- 14:13[UNKNOWN]: I guess he's K1's, he's K1's ring announcer, and he's also some kind of like comedian, I guess.
- 14:25[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what I expected, but I did not expect him to be doing a bad Walker Stewart impression.
- 14:32[UNKNOWN]: That's pretty much what he did.
- 14:33[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I assume we've listened to Walker Stewart and tried to copy him or something, but like,
- 14:39[UNKNOWN]: It just sounds like he's doing a non-servoyce and pre-rehears bits the entire time.
- 14:44[UNKNOWN]: And I found him so incredibly obnoxious.
- 14:47[UNKNOWN]: He did not stop talking ever, first of all.
- 14:49[UNKNOWN]: He had no concept of one to let a match breathe.
- 14:53[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, I'm not trying to be too hard on my guy because I'm sure, you know, having to do a, do your first ever wrestling commentary solo must have been a very daunting task.
- 15:02[UNKNOWN]: I mean, doing this podcast, so that was fucking hard enough to leave me.
- 15:07[UNKNOWN]: metal and call wrestling show solo.
- 15:10[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I don't, I'm not trying to blame the guy, but he was horrendous.
- 15:17[UNKNOWN]: I mean, a lot of my early match notes are like, I play a notes about him and like how much he annoyed me before I finally fucking just switched the Japanese because I just couldn't take it anymore.
- 15:29[UNKNOWN]: And again, I paid 30 bucks for the English broadcast.
- 15:32[UNKNOWN]: Or more 30 bucks because I really felt like I needed to watch it.
- 15:35[UNKNOWN]: I don't even know that even though this was you know out in other areas other places I could have watched the Japanese when I'm paying I was like I feel like I need to see the first broadcast You know, especially by the time I got to it, I mean I didn't watch it live.
- 15:47[UNKNOWN]: I felt like I need to see the first broadcast of this guy, but like I'm sorry He was horrendous.
- 15:52[UNKNOWN]: He was really really bad.
- 15:54[UNKNOWN]: So
- 15:56[UNKNOWN]: You know, I'm maybe I'll give him another chance to see if, um, to see if he improves.
- 16:01[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this first show he was, I gave up because it was, he was so bad.
- 16:05[UNKNOWN]: All right, the opener, uh, the, or actually the die zero time, lady C and key, key, key, key of the touch of the dark match, beat Saida and Matoi Hamabe and eight minutes and seven seconds, lady C, hitting Matoi with the chokes slammer quen,
- 16:24[UNKNOWN]: Jim will keep talking about shooters here, which was kind of amusing, I guess.
- 16:28[UNKNOWN]: He was, he loved talking about shooters, he does have the K1 background, I guess.
- 16:33[UNKNOWN]: And like I said, I'm going to try to make every note about him, but him saying Sia was doing the quote, Donkey Kong Konga on LADC while trying to slap her way out of the giant swing.
- 16:43[UNKNOWN]: That was sure something.
- 16:45[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, while I was trying to be too distracted by the quite bad announcing, the wrestling that's meant to that was really good, especially enjoyed Lady and Matoi's exchange toward the end.
- 16:56[UNKNOWN]: They were just working super hard together, um, and for a short dark man, I thought that's fucking rude.
- 17:02[UNKNOWN]: I always have three and a half here.
- 17:03[UNKNOWN]: I am officially like, again, a lady see a push, lady see truther.
- 17:07[UNKNOWN]: I mean, she has gotten so much better.
- 17:09[UNKNOWN]: She's really quite good now.
- 17:11[UNKNOWN]: And it feels like they're never going to push her.
- 17:13[UNKNOWN]: It feels like that brief artist rain was like her ceiling.
- 17:17[UNKNOWN]: And I hope that's not true because I think she actually is a good wrestler now.
- 17:20[UNKNOWN]: So they got to push her more.
- 17:23[UNKNOWN]: The main show opened with a three-way trio smash.
- 17:25[UNKNOWN]: It was Hanako, Waka Sukiyama, and Utami Ashida, beating the team of Konami, Waka, and Fuki again from Hate.
- 17:35[UNKNOWN]: Hanako, putting Fuki again in eight minutes with a J.B. co-ster.
- 17:39[UNKNOWN]: The other team involved was the unique team of Serriano, we're going to Yamashita, and it's karaoke.
- 17:45[UNKNOWN]: Utami Aoki actually joined the cigarette break.
- 17:49[UNKNOWN]: Which was kind of funny with spooky again.
- 17:50[UNKNOWN]: So spooky games is like, you know what?
- 17:52[UNKNOWN]: I'm just gonna poke in the eyes of them while you're down here.
- 17:54[UNKNOWN]: That's it got very funny.
- 17:57[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this match was a lot of goofiness in comedy.
- 18:00[UNKNOWN]: The other big spot was her partners trying to hype Siri up through the running face wash without falling down this time.
- 18:07[UNKNOWN]: And they did convince her to do it only for the trio to get tripped up by hitting the floor.
- 18:11[UNKNOWN]: That was quite funny.
- 18:13[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it was fine.
- 18:14[UNKNOWN]: Just nowhere near as good as the match zero on my opinion.
- 18:17[UNKNOWN]: It was like three stars on it.
- 18:18[UNKNOWN]: Gentleman's three stuff.
- 18:19[UNKNOWN]: Some of the comedy was funny.
- 18:20[UNKNOWN]: Just wasn't a lot too excited to comedy.
- 18:23[UNKNOWN]: A six woman tag was next.
- 18:26[UNKNOWN]: Hazuki, Koguma, and Furochan, beating the Edo Respec Gundan, Maki Eto, Kika Furosawa, and Rihon.
- 18:33[UNKNOWN]: Hazuki, Pitting, Maki Eto, with the Hazuki Lamaji Stroll, Hazuki Stroll, in eight minutes and 30 seconds.
- 18:41[UNKNOWN]: This is another match that wasn't as good as the dark match.
- 18:45[UNKNOWN]: Um, I did like that Reon did a footstop to disrupt the Fuma pose because I'd be the Kuma pose, which I'm more sick of the Kuma shit than ever after that fucking uh, high speed 10 amounts they had at Corrican, but yeah, it was all right.
- 18:59[UNKNOWN]: Just didn't do a ton for me.
- 19:01[UNKNOWN]: and the finish with his zucchini just rolling you to up out of nowhere when they've been going with triple stutter together just felt kind of like nothing to.
- 19:09[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how to scrub it really just like, you know, I don't know.
- 19:11[UNKNOWN]: The entire match felt kind of pointless.
- 19:13[UNKNOWN]: While the later on we find out these three are getting the next artist shots like I said that made sense.
- 19:18[UNKNOWN]: I won, I guess, but the match itself just didn't feel like it had much a point to it.
- 19:22[UNKNOWN]: Two and three quarters.
- 19:24[UNKNOWN]: B-Phrasely, B-An-A-Khan-A-N-A, in seven minutes and 20 seconds with the clean's landing.
- 19:30[UNKNOWN]: B-Attacked-An-A, before the bell, I immediately just stomped her in the ropes.
- 19:35[UNKNOWN]: That made sense.
- 19:36[UNKNOWN]: You know, she's all pissed off and her still for injuring her for the five-star.
- 19:40[UNKNOWN]: And again, the commentary was so overblown and so over the top that it was actively hurting my enjoyment of the show.
- 19:50[UNKNOWN]: Um, on a, did a decent enough job selling this beating she was taking, but it was just the mattress still dragging for me from the five minute call already.
- 19:59[UNKNOWN]: Uh, B did put it down with the Queens landing after that, but yeah, I don't know.
- 20:04[UNKNOWN]: Just not that long after that a couple months later, but it's just a big squash.
- 20:08[UNKNOWN]: Two and a half stars just didn't do a lot for me.
- 20:10[UNKNOWN]: Very average match.
- 20:12[UNKNOWN]: Um, afterward, B kept beating her up.
- 20:15[UNKNOWN]: The other cosmic
- 20:19[UNKNOWN]: And you know, Sherry in specific was like really like getting in between being on and they were given each other the evil eye, I don't know if we're building or singles match there or what, but you know, we'll say I guess the next match.
- 20:35[UNKNOWN]: was Shuri and Hina defeating Rina as used to Rinaba.
- 20:40[UNKNOWN]: Shuri, pinning Rinaba in 8 minutes and 38 seconds.
- 20:45[UNKNOWN]: You know, as you talked about the preview, interesting match up here.
- 20:47[UNKNOWN]: It makes one wonder if Rina might end up targeting the IVGB woman's title unexpectedly, but I don't know, they didn't do a ton in that direction, it felt like in the match, I guess it was maybe not.
- 20:58[UNKNOWN]: The sister shut down started us out.
- 21:00[UNKNOWN]: I would say it wasn't nearly as hot as it had been other times in the past.
- 21:04[UNKNOWN]: So in fact, it felt a little flat as we're going to just kind of beat her down for a while.
- 21:08[UNKNOWN]: But then he and I got a pretty good, um, roaring form and they did a great judo throw as usual.
- 21:15[UNKNOWN]: So before finding tagging and surey, so the match really picked up from there, and yeah, just very much more fast pace back and forth from that point forward, and surey nearly fucking took Asus is head off with a counter high kick when she ran in before she finished her off with the, uh, I don't know what the move is called that one she does.
- 21:31[UNKNOWN]: It's like, uh, it's like a flip from a fucking power slam position almost.
- 21:36[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 21:36[UNKNOWN]: Three and a half stars overall.
- 21:38[UNKNOWN]: Good match.
- 21:44[UNKNOWN]: Then we had the Future of Starving Petal Match.
- 21:46[UNKNOWN]: This is where I stepped.
- 21:48[UNKNOWN]: Like, somewhere during this match, I was like, this match is really good, but fucking Jimbo was ruining it for me.
- 21:53[UNKNOWN]: I can't do this anymore.
- 21:54[UNKNOWN]: So I switched the Japanese and started the match over.
- 21:57[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Future Starving Petal Match, Ronnie Agame, be a Kira Kira Gane.
- 22:03[UNKNOWN]: in 1256 to the beat striker, Rhanna makes her 10 successful defense already.
- 22:08[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, she racked up three more defenses when she was in the U.S., so now she is tied with her non for the second most defenses in a single reign, and she's only two defenses behind Reena for the record.
- 22:20[UNKNOWN]: Kind of crazy, you could see that she's only at 184 days.
- 22:23[UNKNOWN]: Hanan in the same number of defenses with that 294 days when she did, you know, over 10 defense reign.
- 22:31[UNKNOWN]: And Reena, whether 12 defense reign was at 512.
- 22:34[UNKNOWN]: She's crazy.
- 22:38[UNKNOWN]: Akira definitely has new hair for this, and I think new gear.
- 22:44[UNKNOWN]: If it is new gear, it's very similar to our previous gear, which I'm not quite 100% sure there.
- 22:50[UNKNOWN]: But the hair look right though, almost like a fucking mallet now, but I mean that as a compliment weirdly, I don't know how to describe, like it looks cool, looks very accurate.
- 22:59[UNKNOWN]: Um, some nice Matt wrestling that again, the mother fucking Jimbo guy would not shut the fuck up for one second during the Matt wrestling.
- 23:06[UNKNOWN]: What kind of please just enjoy these two counted pro wrestlers doing some fucking fun Matt wrestling without you like talking over it.
- 23:13[UNKNOWN]: And that's that's what I get when I decide to switch to the English.
- 23:16[UNKNOWN]: Um, Ron, I just screamed her head off here trying to make the famously quiet Yoke Ahm Abu Dukhan crowd makes some noise after she took Ron's head off with a big boot against the ropes just for the five minute remaining call.
- 23:30[UNKNOWN]: Um, I hear I got Ron an arm lock as Ron had to crawl her way to the ropes, which she did sound really well.
- 23:37[UNKNOWN]: Um.
- 23:38[UNKNOWN]: She eventually is able to get the break just for the three men's rating call on the match because obviously they're pressed up against 15 at a time, let me hear Ron hit this really hard middle kick to a kneeling a Kira followed by a great diving kick off the top rope to her face back out of two count and then she hit the beat strike or the buzz saw kick for the pen.
- 23:58[UNKNOWN]: Really good match by the end.
- 24:01[UNKNOWN]: I heard a little by the typical Yoko Hama Buddha Khan lack of crowd heat, but I've got three and three quarters.
- 24:06[UNKNOWN]: Really good match.
- 24:07[UNKNOWN]: Enjoy the ton.
- 24:08[UNKNOWN]: We did not get a next challenge right then, so what the wait and see who that is.
- 24:11[UNKNOWN]: But I mean, the rain has to be over soon, because it's already at 10 defenses, but well, maybe she's breaking the record who knows.
- 24:18[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the next match are the system titles.
- 24:21[UNKNOWN]: uh... the champions the triangles madness made w fecla julia heart and sky blue defeat the challengers uh... cosmic cardinal iosacara not to play and unemizmory it was sky blue pinning iosacara and thirteen thirty two of the tkl to make the first defense um...
- 24:43[UNKNOWN]: So I found the Triangle's Heat Period about it's uninteresting as I would have expected, I guess.
- 24:48[UNKNOWN]: The early Heat Period.
- 24:49[UNKNOWN]: If you love watching Julia Hart, do a really weak looking DDT on you and my, maybe disagree with her.
- 24:55[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 24:56[UNKNOWN]: And then you and a man just straight up falls off the ropes while trying to do a rope walk holding onto her.
- 25:01[UNKNOWN]: I don't know who's fault that was.
- 25:03[UNKNOWN]: I'm tempted to say Julia Hart, because she's horrible, but I don't know.
- 25:06[UNKNOWN]: Maybe she was in a month's fault.
- 25:08[UNKNOWN]: At least they just moved on, though, instead of trying to redo the spot.
- 25:11[UNKNOWN]: Now, it was very funny watching the soon-to-retired boy literally worked too fast for her opponents who were on American national cable television and probably make way more money than she does.
- 25:23[UNKNOWN]: Like she did this handstand thing and trying to grab, reach over to Sky, for an arm render, and Sky just flat out wasn't ready for it.
- 25:31[UNKNOWN]: So boy, it has a tape, which looks stupid.
- 25:33[UNKNOWN]: But then, secular came in, and this is where the match really picks up, because obviously, Tecla has rustle in the start, whatever you think of her, right?
- 25:41[UNKNOWN]: Whether you think she's overrated, whether you don't care about her AW run, if you're watching AW, which I don't obviously, so you could be the best wrestler all-time for all I know.
- 25:49[UNKNOWN]: Um, whatever you thought of her start and run,
- 25:52[UNKNOWN]: she at least can work at the pace of starter match.
- 25:55[UNKNOWN]: She can get in there at Poy and the two of them, the Poy doesn't have to hold it back anything.
- 26:00[UNKNOWN]: That was fine being hit and we'll hit back obviously as we saw.
- 26:04[UNKNOWN]: And she came in and she and Poy, a cute little moment based on their backstory, they're time and donning down one note together with that the off of her hand.
- 26:13[UNKNOWN]: She started talking to her about retirement and then she slapped her in the fucking face as hard as she could, which is letting her a great form exchange between the two of them.
- 26:22[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, then, you know, so Teclin Point, a great exchange, then Sky Blue came back in and for as much as I was saying before, you know, she had that one little awkward spot with Poy, Sky Blue was still a lot better than Julia Hart.
- 26:33[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like the gap between them.
- 26:35[UNKNOWN]: There are eight of your fans that talk to say the gap isn't that big.
- 26:38[UNKNOWN]: For me, the gap looks pretty fucking big.
- 26:40[UNKNOWN]: Like, Sky Blue came in and had a decent little change in Iosocara, the end of it.
- 26:45[UNKNOWN]: I dumping on a heavily German suplex, then Julia hard came in because I off and somehow flopped up a single, a simple, back kick to the gut.
- 26:54[UNKNOWN]: Like, she stumbled on it and almost fell on her fucking ass.
- 26:57[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, to me, Sky Blue looks like a semi-competent pro wrestler, not anything great or anything, but she doesn't blow every fucking spot she tries and Julia Hart looked horrible.
- 27:06[UNKNOWN]: If you looked worse in this, then she did for a while of the five star.
- 27:09[UNKNOWN]: I mean, she was horrendous in this match.
- 27:13[UNKNOWN]: We got a triple team dive to the floor into the ring from Cosmic Carnival, just for the 10-minute call.
- 27:20[UNKNOWN]: I'm Sky and Sky, that a pretty good little exchange of kicks in the ring before I said, I'm Sky, I am Sky.
- 27:28[UNKNOWN]: Before I hit another German suplex hold,
- 27:32[UNKNOWN]: Julia made the save the last second that hit a pretty bad super kick on I have because of course she did Unimon hit a nice double area on both Fekla and Skye but Skye escaped Ias grass after going to her eyes I came back though the wacky
- 27:48[UNKNOWN]: I think new, maybe I'm wrong now, roll up.
- 27:50[UNKNOWN]: That got a very close near foal.
- 27:52[UNKNOWN]: Then, secular came in and used her normal belt on everybody.
- 27:55[UNKNOWN]: The belt she wears around her waist, I mean, not the title belt.
- 27:58[UNKNOWN]: Sky Blue hit soccer with her title belt.
- 27:59[UNKNOWN]: And then, she and Julia did some double-team move on Aya.
- 28:02[UNKNOWN]: Point, you to mom made the save.
- 28:04[UNKNOWN]: But then, Sky had a TKO on Aya, and that was the pen.
- 28:08[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, disappointing finish.
- 28:09[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this was a lot better than the match, but they won the tiles at least, had a really good drama at the end of the special A, so it was enough me to go 3 and a quarter, even despite the blown spots and Julia just Julia's general awfulness.
- 28:21[UNKNOWN]: I do not want to hear from anybody on the discord, and you know who you are, that I hate all white women.
- 28:28[UNKNOWN]: because Seclo was great in this match, she was actively great in this match.
- 28:31[UNKNOWN]: Seclo was really good.
- 28:33[UNKNOWN]: Skye Blue besides one kind of boy, one kind of bad moment with Poiria mentioned.
- 28:38[UNKNOWN]: She was fine, you know, besides that one bad moment, it was just truly hard to fucking sucks.
- 28:44[UNKNOWN]: If you were placed really hard with any other semi-competant wrestler, the triangle of madness would be perfectly fine outside her heels.
- 28:52[UNKNOWN]: But Julia Hart is so fucking bad that she drags his team down.
- 28:56[UNKNOWN]: So whatever, as far as trying to watch more Julia Hart and start on the other two were fine, Julia Hart fucking sucks, period and the story.
- 29:07[UNKNOWN]: Um, the cut to O'Cotta's face during necklace promo, when she started taunting, I was funny.
- 29:13[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Hazuki, Koguma, and Fuwa Chan came out to be the next challengers.
- 29:17[UNKNOWN]: Fuwa and her fucking hilarious, like American accent and English confronting Fakla was really funny.
- 29:23[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Fakla pushed her down, so they're gonna kick the belts forever.
- 29:27[UNKNOWN]: Um, guess we'll see what happens next?
- 29:28[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 29:30[UNKNOWN]: I don't really see that team winning because like,
- 29:34[UNKNOWN]: It feels a little early for food watching on to get her first title.
- 29:37[UNKNOWN]: See, I think I think fucking triangle of man is getting a V2.
- 29:40[UNKNOWN]: I will be fucking pissed if this goes all the way to dream quaint them, and I have to walk to Julia Hart performance in person.
- 29:46[UNKNOWN]: Like, that will suck.
- 29:48[UNKNOWN]: So, anyway, match is pretty good, three in a quarter.
- 29:51[UNKNOWN]: Guys, the starting panel match, this was the fucking highlight of the show.
- 29:55[UNKNOWN]: It's too strong to say, save the show, because I don't think the rest of the show was that bad or anything, but it's definitely the thing that you have to watch from the show.
- 30:03[UNKNOWN]: Zero knee line, Azumi and Miu Amasaki, defeat Saiyata Matani and Momoa Tanabe to my great surprise.
- 30:10[UNKNOWN]: It was Azumi beating Momo with the new Muoru now to make their V3.
- 30:15[UNKNOWN]: This site does not have, the starting site does not have a time for this for some reason.
- 30:22[UNKNOWN]: Because yeah, I know I definitely get one pretty long, but I don't know what the actual length was.
- 30:27[UNKNOWN]: Let's say.
- 30:28[UNKNOWN]: Okay, cage match says.
- 30:30[UNKNOWN]: Oh, that's the 2025 one.
- 30:34[UNKNOWN]: Okay, open the wrong one.
- 30:38[UNKNOWN]: Steritum 2026.
- 30:39[UNKNOWN]: Okay, cage match has it at 2245.
- 30:43[UNKNOWN]: Yep, that's the feel pretty substantial.
- 30:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I, going this match, I was like, okay, zoni lines probably losing already, I'm sad.
- 30:50[UNKNOWN]: Well, they did win, so that's cool.
- 30:52[UNKNOWN]: So I'm very happy that zoni line retain these titles.
- 30:56[UNKNOWN]: The heels jumped them for the bell.
- 30:58[UNKNOWN]: That led to a big crowd brawl.
- 31:02[UNKNOWN]: Science outfit.
- 31:03[UNKNOWN]: So Chris, Chris way ahead front of the show which all that reminds me.
- 31:06[UNKNOWN]: Okay, the Tokyo Yoshi Princess Cup review which was like 8,000 words long that wrote for Social Studio Plex.
- 31:14[UNKNOWN]: It is out I'm gonna try to remember to put the description.
- 31:18[UNKNOWN]: I never remember to put anything on my descriptions when I Go to write them at the very end of recording this long as podcasts, but try to remember to put this in the description
- 31:28[UNKNOWN]: It is out.
- 31:29[UNKNOWN]: So go check it out.
- 31:30[UNKNOWN]: I worked really hard on it.
- 31:31[UNKNOWN]: I've gotten good feedback from people.
- 31:34[UNKNOWN]: Definitely check out my Princess Cup review and social superluxes newsletter.
- 31:38[UNKNOWN]: Chris also wrote a start-in-five-star review in the same newsletter.
- 31:42[UNKNOWN]: And he pointed out that Siyah Kamatani's outfit is looking more golden Phoenix asked by the day, which I didn't even think of that until he said it.
- 31:48[UNKNOWN]: So great point by Chris.
- 31:50[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, she brings, they brought a queen's quest banner into the ring, and then Konami came over with a Kenna Black spray paint and went and said very loudly, fuck you QQ, we're like that cackles she does, and they put a giant black ex on it.
- 32:06[UNKNOWN]: That was awesome.
- 32:07[UNKNOWN]: That was like, cause Konami's such a joyful heel, such a fun bag guy, the her just going
- 32:20[UNKNOWN]: the the banner at the end of the show and like picked it up.
- 32:24[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know what we're teasing every teasing a cleanest quest for you and in or a new utami unit.
- 32:29[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 32:29[UNKNOWN]: Very interesting.
- 32:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, zoomies hot tag.
- 32:34[UNKNOWN]: So there was a little better pedestrian control here on me, you know what I'd say besides the fuck you, Hugh, Hugh, thing, that would be the one weakness of this match.
- 32:42[UNKNOWN]: I think everything else is matters amazing, but not even better than just pedestrian, right?
- 32:47[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, the first five minutes, not the most thrilling, but yeah, zoomie gets a hot tag right around the five minute call.
- 32:53[UNKNOWN]: Her hot tag was great.
- 32:55[UNKNOWN]: uh... she's all swagger as usual um... that led to some nice high speed double-teaming by both zero knee-line members on sia uh... psi and me you had a pretty great exchange ending with the rolling fisherman's subluxed in sia which greatly impressed the crowd uh... me who went for a spinning the t-up ropes psi avoided with a hands-frying uh... i can see that being too corny for some people is very asked for a ask but i thought i thought it worked here um... and then uh...
- 33:24[UNKNOWN]: She just fucking took her head off of a big boot after she did the handspring me who sort of knows sold it and I mean she didn't she did really sell it but then she kind of countered the next move anyway
- 33:35[UNKNOWN]: and got this fitting DAT for real, SIA straight up, no sold that.
- 33:39[UNKNOWN]: And then, by then ran right into an X-Fotor Suplex for me, which finally left both girls down, electric extremes there between SIA and me.
- 33:47[UNKNOWN]: Then it was obviously Momo on a zoomy time.
- 33:50[UNKNOWN]: Momo is hitting the rolling front two fluxes at one point.
- 33:53[UNKNOWN]: A zoomy reverse sat into one of her own front two fluxes, which is almost dead lifted Momo, who's not a small girl by any means, obviously.
- 33:59[UNKNOWN]: And the crowd found that super impressive.
- 34:02[UNKNOWN]: only for mobile to shrug it off and just say another fucking front Super X followed by the running double knees for a two count.
- 34:08[UNKNOWN]: Think of this awesome spot where Momo had a zoom he set up for the faster driver, but instead me you dropkick Momo into flipping into a sunset flip powerbomb of swords.
- 34:19[UNKNOWN]: The Japanese announced it was called like an aint the story about it.
- 34:21[UNKNOWN]: I don't think it really mask an aint the story.
- 34:22[UNKNOWN]: I want to get sunset flip powerbomb.
- 34:24[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, that got a two count.
- 34:24[UNKNOWN]: That spot was amazing.
- 34:26[UNKNOWN]: This crazy back and forth sequence with Mo Mo on Azumi after that won't bother trying to recap at all, but it ended with Mo Mo just fucking spanking Azumi on her skull with the bathroom driver's successfully this time.
- 34:37[UNKNOWN]: That life bolt goes down.
- 34:39[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Momo and then Sia as well just kept up the toll destruction for Azumi, but Azumi is finally able to get domestic out of nowhere.
- 34:46[UNKNOWN]: Momo had blocked it first and was trying to like muscle her way out of it.
- 34:49[UNKNOWN]: Only for Azumi to get anyway.
- 34:52[UNKNOWN]: Uh, she then locked on her arm stretch submission, but Momo was finally able to make the ropes after a long struggle.
- 34:58[UNKNOWN]: uh, Azumi then got a top rope double stop for a two count.
- 35:01[UNKNOWN]: She absolutely murdered her with a crazy Canadian destroyer and then got the Azumi sushi, but Siyo was able to dive and bring the break it off.
- 35:09[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Moe will got the bat of doom though as we had distracted Barb, but Azumi avoided it first and Moe will almost did Siyo, but would say done that in the past out.
- 35:17[UNKNOWN]: These were Siyo's like, whoa, whoa, but they did, they did manage not to hit each other.
- 35:20[UNKNOWN]: That was cool.
- 35:21[UNKNOWN]: But she's able to stop herself, but then she hit assuming with the bat successfully for hitting a double-need double-team knee attack off the top.
- 35:31[UNKNOWN]: The double-team knee attack looked a tad silly.
- 35:34[UNKNOWN]: Femming on, my girlfriend or her mom are playing with playing with the puppy in the background, by the way, if you hear the puppy barking.
- 35:49[UNKNOWN]: No, so you hit here with the bat 6-0, the did the double team knee attack off the top, and Momo that hit the Momoplex or whatever, but Meu was able to dive in for the save.
- 36:00[UNKNOWN]: Azumi came back with another Azumi sushi while Meu held side down with her own signature pen.
- 36:06[UNKNOWN]: Back out another two count, then they hit a simultaneous destroyer in 10 side DDT, before Azumi went for the double underhooked destroyer on Momo, and got it successfully, but
- 36:19[UNKNOWN]: I thought they had it there to be honest.
- 36:21[UNKNOWN]: Azumi and Mew hit their double team D&T thing.
- 36:24[UNKNOWN]: Then set Mew up in the corner.
- 36:25[UNKNOWN]: Mew hit a little plancher off the apron on Sia, when Azumi hit a fucking hang kick on Mommo, gave her a face pusher off the top rope for locking back in the new Mew and Mew's arm stretch.
- 36:36[UNKNOWN]: Sia is visible on the screen, just being held back by Mew just a great touch that I thought she was gonna break it off.
- 36:42[UNKNOWN]: But Mew, but Mommo just fucking submitted.
- 36:45[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, holy shit, I was made, like I thought that was not as incredible.
- 36:51[UNKNOWN]: If anything you could argue could end it with the double underhook the story, but the drama of the last new morning was great too.
- 36:56[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, easy four and a half stars for me, even with the first five minutes not being anything that's special.
- 37:03[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, you know, I was very, very invested in the end right, because I love zero and you line, I love me and zoom in, and I really did not want to lose the belts already.
- 37:11[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, they definitely had me from a drama standpoint, but yeah, incredible match I thought.
- 37:17[UNKNOWN]: And, I
- 37:19[UNKNOWN]: very relieved as you only lines on it and yet and you know what?
- 37:21[UNKNOWN]: I'm I think people are sleeping on this territory because they had an amazing match where they won the belts from dispatches at 8.49 in KDM.
- 37:32[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, they're a little lower than maybe not that much lower that that would apply like a four in a quarter like four in a half.
- 37:37[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I think people are sleeping on this territory because they'd be amazing match where they won the belts from Torne
- 37:47[UNKNOWN]: Imagine a high-high-may, a high-high-may, a high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high-high
- 38:06[UNKNOWN]: I think they could be sleeper candidates for tag team of the year.
- 38:08[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I have them pretty hard.
- 38:10[UNKNOWN]: I mean, spark rush is kind of running away with it.
- 38:12[UNKNOWN]: I think, but I think they're like a good number two vote, you know?
- 38:15[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, all of the, well, it's like you also have, you also have fucking wants to call knockout brothers.
- 38:24[UNKNOWN]: So I mean, maybe number three, but you know, they're really good candidates, you I think.
- 38:29[UNKNOWN]: And I guess I'll sleeper candidate.
- 38:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the cut to utami watch on the floor was great too, and utami climbs up on the apron, the post-fatch, psi and Momo just kind of shook her head at her and left, though before assuming me you kept celebrating, and utami also leaves.
- 38:44[UNKNOWN]: So we'll see where that's going, if anywhere.
- 38:48[UNKNOWN]: The semi-mate event, this unfortunately was the disappointment of the show for me, especially give it how much I love, I'm sorry.
- 38:54[UNKNOWN]: Hanan Bami in 1652 with the worst-closed risk-clutch backdrop, excuse me, it's really the same.
- 39:03[UNKNOWN]: To make her a third defense, Reno was on commentary for this and the main event.
- 39:08[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, kind of a pedestrian start again, not super uncommon for big starter matches to be honest, but this didn't go that long one less than 17 minutes, like the, I like the previous match.
- 39:19[UNKNOWN]: And I'm got army in a sort of cross face, which army sold okay for making the ropes.
- 39:26[UNKNOWN]: Aami caught a noncoming up the even with a crossbody, simply held her there mid-air while doing like a little roar, for ranting her back first in the apron and then lifting her back up a little and dropping her back down to the floor.
- 39:39[UNKNOWN]: That look cool.
- 39:39[UNKNOWN]: Aami look like a beast there.
- 39:42[UNKNOWN]: She got her, she got her non-engine Argentine backbreaker on the apron and then draped her over the corner before hitting an avalanche attack.
- 39:51[UNKNOWN]: Unfortunately, she then followed that up with a very bad sliding layer of the back in the ring.
- 39:56[UNKNOWN]: That basically had no impact or force behind it at all, back out of two count.
- 40:00[UNKNOWN]: We then went into a big strike exchange with which Ami won with a repeated big back-end chapter chest, followed by a big double slap when her non-Ramber into her.
- 40:11[UNKNOWN]: Hanan came back with a falling single leg lary it, only to get powered up by Amy deadlifts from Superlacks that live both girls down.
- 40:18[UNKNOWN]: Good little sequence there.
- 40:20[UNKNOWN]: Hanan was able to get her cross body off the second rope to the floor on the second try, which wiped out, Hanan.
- 40:29[UNKNOWN]: She then followed up with a somewhat sloppy looking heat seeker back in the ring, followed by that little twist DDT, almost like the Sonata dead fall back out of two count.
- 40:38[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it was scaped and attempted the backdrop.
- 40:40[UNKNOWN]: Suplex hit a so-so-up best black hole slam, much worse than usual black black hole slam.
- 40:44[UNKNOWN]: These two were just not clicking that well, I guess, it was all came down too.
- 40:48[UNKNOWN]: They did a strike exchange during the 10-minute call, starting out as kind of whatever, but then I'm starting hitting these huge clubbing short-range lyrids right to hunt on his neck.
- 40:56[UNKNOWN]: Those are pretty sick.
- 40:58[UNKNOWN]: Um, unfortunately, then the full charging layer she did, weirdly didn't land flush it all again, not quite as bad as the signing one before, but I don't know.
- 41:07[UNKNOWN]: I don't know why she was able to do these huge standing layers to look great for the regular layers, shouldn't look very good.
- 41:13[UNKNOWN]: um, they fought up to the corner, they each slapped each, slapped each of them the face pretty good, Hanan got two of them in before she hit a back top superlocked up the second rope.
- 41:26[UNKNOWN]: Again, that looked good.
- 41:27[UNKNOWN]: Um, rather than covering anything though, she went up to the second rope again, and I just kind of waited for Ami.
- 41:34[UNKNOWN]: to get back to her feed, but I thought it was strange.
- 41:38[UNKNOWN]: Ami staggered over and just fucking ponder in the face pretty hard, which that kind of rolled at least.
- 41:44[UNKNOWN]: Then she grabbed on the second rope and hit this pretty sick Lutheran ball over there for a two count.
- 41:49[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, weird sequence to end up with a six-pot at least.
- 41:53[UNKNOWN]: Ami rolled right through at attempt at the, the, the, the Hanan signature crales 17 and finally hit a decent regular
- 42:03[UNKNOWN]: Hanan was basically dead waiting after that.
- 42:05[UNKNOWN]: I've just got the 15 minute call.
- 42:08[UNKNOWN]: Hanan suddenly revived though and hit a backdrop.
- 42:12[UNKNOWN]: Suplex, which I'm a no soul, and then hit a blue thunder bomb, which got a one count.
- 42:17[UNKNOWN]: Hanan then hit or blockbuster Suplex thing, but I don't want to keep that one also, but then Hanan killed her.
- 42:23[UNKNOWN]: Well, this awesome running leaping knee, just got huge air on it, look great.
- 42:28[UNKNOWN]: I mean, no soul in it, try to be like thunder, and I'm on a scape, hit two straight back top, two flexes, the second one of bridging back drop, I mean, barely kicked out.
- 42:36[UNKNOWN]: This suddenly was kicking ass, but then it just ended.
- 42:38[UNKNOWN]: And then the rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, or the back top, two flex, hold neck out the pen.
- 42:43[UNKNOWN]: See, I was a weird match.
- 42:44[UNKNOWN]: I didn't love it for a long time.
- 42:46[UNKNOWN]: It kicks so much as the end.
- 42:49[UNKNOWN]: I don't almost only know how to rate it.
- 42:51[UNKNOWN]: I guess I went three and a half, right?
- 42:53[UNKNOWN]: It was a good match.
- 42:54[UNKNOWN]: I think that's some line with the cage match.
- 42:56[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, cage match has a 7.08.
- 42:57[UNKNOWN]: It's almost exactly the same.
- 43:00[UNKNOWN]: I wish I felt like a much more in line with cage match when it started with anything else.
- 43:03[UNKNOWN]: It's interesting.
- 43:05[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just barely worsened their five-star GP match.
- 43:09[UNKNOWN]: I went three and three quarters on, but I was hoping they would top that match, obviously, and this big semi-main spot and not just fall short of it.
- 43:16[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I didn't, I definitely didn't dislike it.
- 43:17[UNKNOWN]: It was a good match, just kind of not quite semi-main, what weight though were they really, you know, not a blow away match.
- 43:25[UNKNOWN]: And the lack of crowd, he didn't help, obviously.
- 43:27[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 43:28[UNKNOWN]: Uh, we're all going to come out came out the challenge after which makes sense because you beat Hanna on in the quarter finals of the five star of this year, which she of course pointed out immediately.
- 43:36[UNKNOWN]: The crab was really into that because they love rocking now for reasons I don't ever fully understand.
- 43:40[UNKNOWN]: They barely even boo her.
- 43:41[UNKNOWN]: She gets a few scattered booze and she attacks her afterwards with the German suit flux.
- 43:45[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, that match was made for the September 29th, Corrigan.
- 43:48[UNKNOWN]: So it's coming up in a couple of weeks that should sell some tickets.
- 43:52[UNKNOWN]: I'm sure.
- 43:52[UNKNOWN]: So wonder if tickets moved already, actually, let's say.
- 43:56[UNKNOWN]: It's a weak night cork and something they know they kind of need help with those now because they've the last few and yeah, front row seats are already sold out and the, and the, the a seats are sold out the south side tiered seating center block is sold out already.
- 44:11[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 44:13[UNKNOWN]: it's probably better than they've done recently for a cork and still two weeks away.
- 44:18[UNKNOWN]: Let me see if Lawson is ending up some fewer main in.
- 44:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Lawson seeds look even better.
- 44:26[UNKNOWN]: They have, uh, the arena asks them if you're remaining.
- 44:29[UNKNOWN]: Arena asks front to sold out.
- 44:31[UNKNOWN]: It's just the regular A.B.
- 44:32[UNKNOWN]: and see they're still long.
- 44:34[UNKNOWN]: Probably most of the building, obviously, but uh, yeah, I mean they're they're sort of
- 44:41[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, let's see what's next on this show.
- 44:50[UNKNOWN]: One of Starbentad on NoDQ match, the main advantage, what's next, obviously, why am I talking about?
- 44:55[UNKNOWN]: Uh, as soon as you get to beat, not to guitar in 2252 with the German Suplex hold on chairs to make her V1.
- 45:03[UNKNOWN]: They announced there was noDQ super last minute, like I think right before the star of the show, and it was so last minute that they didn't even have it in the video package when they announced everything, but the card run down the star of the show, excuse me.
- 45:16[UNKNOWN]: Um, Torra came out in a pretty cool looking new outfit.
- 45:19[UNKNOWN]: It had like all these like raccoon fur or something or bare skins.
- 45:22[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 45:24[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, she was also carrying a bird warrior bat with her.
- 45:26[UNKNOWN]: Suzy was armed with a tiny blue stapler.
- 45:29[UNKNOWN]: uh... both girls grab chairs for the valiant rang immediately started swinging a battle that's to see what first one when she broke torus chair and then not to make rather the the remains of said chair out of her hands um... only for torred to jump duck her chair shot and simply run her both over and both her and the chair over i mean and a pretty neat little spot
- 45:53[UNKNOWN]: That led to the very expected outside the room rolling and tossing in the chairs and such Susie also got hold of the barbed wire bat tour brought out with her and she got and she cut her open pretty where they're own bat Which that happened much faster.
- 46:06[UNKNOWN]: What have expected like Torv is bleeding right away The inter- Susie would later bleed too.
- 46:11[UNKNOWN]: So I mean there's plenty of blood in this match The interference also keep them pretty quick with a whole gang of hate members attacking Susie on the floor
- 46:19[UNKNOWN]: Um, when she was going for a table, but then they, so that, I was like, okay, that makes sense.
- 46:23[UNKNOWN]: Why would they wait to interfere?
- 46:25[UNKNOWN]: Then they never in a fear to get.
- 46:26[UNKNOWN]: So that doesn't really make any sense.
- 46:28[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if Tora told them not to or why, maybe I missed it.
- 46:31[UNKNOWN]: But like, yeah, I was very weird that they just didn't get involved in the rest of the match and that was no decal.
- 46:38[UNKNOWN]: Um,
- 46:39[UNKNOWN]: Taurus blasted her through the table, that Susan pulled out earlier from the second up to the floor.
- 46:44[UNKNOWN]: She almost but not quite overshot her in the process, but she did manage to actually land on her, so that was good.
- 46:50[UNKNOWN]: Honestly, this was the type of match that I'm sure others might have enjoyed a lot more than I did.
- 46:55[UNKNOWN]: I low-oh, and only had a 7.26 on cage match, so I don't know.
- 46:58[UNKNOWN]: I'm just kind of over-plundered at the stage in my wrestling fandom, and it becomes tough for the step to really hold my attention super well.
- 47:07[UNKNOWN]: I, you know, they stable things each other, they hit each other more stuff, toured in some more splashes, now the rest of the match though, the back end, again, was so great that I almost, you know, I ended up having to go for on this, almost that like, you know, what's the word I would look for?
- 47:23[UNKNOWN]: Like, grudging respects for everything they did.
- 47:27[UNKNOWN]: Like, Susu, you know, she won't have the way this one time bomb.
- 47:30[UNKNOWN]: Finally hit her first big release German.
- 47:32[UNKNOWN]: That looked great.
- 47:33[UNKNOWN]: She sent some chairs up, but Tora escaped and attempted to be in German down them.
- 47:37[UNKNOWN]: She spent the blue mist and Susu's face, and then ran her over with this enormous layer of it that just crashed Susu down super hard in the chair pile who were covered for a near fall.
- 47:48[UNKNOWN]: Really great sequence there.
- 47:49[UNKNOWN]: Easily ahead of the match to this point for me.
- 47:52[UNKNOWN]: Tore got a chain, but Susu caught her mid-charge and hit the decillus shot, you know, a chain like when flying everywhere, that was cool looking.
- 48:00[UNKNOWN]: Tore just barely kicked out for the pen.
- 48:02[UNKNOWN]: Susu hit two street Germans, two plexus, the second with the bridge, but Tore kicked out again, which is big, because not, I mean, okay, pick out the bridge and Germans and Susu.
- 48:11[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Susu finally pinned over the German, two plexes on the Cherpile.
- 48:15[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, by the end of this, I like this enough to go for a flat, pretty awesome match.
- 48:20[UNKNOWN]: Definitely the second best match on the show, even though it wasn't quite my thing, but yeah.
- 48:26[UNKNOWN]: and Susan Torra had a hug after her, which is kind of interesting.
- 48:30[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, decent, if unspectacular shell overall, I think it's a good way to put it.
- 48:35[UNKNOWN]: I mean, for a lot of promotions, you take two notebook matches and nothing else being bad, really.
- 48:40[UNKNOWN]: But obviously for startup, they've had plenty of better shows than this in recent years.
- 48:44[UNKNOWN]: But,
- 48:45[UNKNOWN]: You know, at the same time, it's a B show for their big shows.
- 48:48[UNKNOWN]: I didn't really expect anything bigger, anything that much better than this, you know?
- 48:53[UNKNOWN]: So, if anything that the tag tag match really delivering to such a huge degree made this a little better than I expected.
- 48:58[UNKNOWN]: So, good show.
- 49:00[UNKNOWN]: And Nicole was holding up a tiny, my mellow plushy.
- 49:03[UNKNOWN]: Why was she on the floor?
- 49:05[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry.
- 49:05[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what she's very tiny, it's hard to keep track of.
- 49:10[UNKNOWN]: All right.
- 49:11[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, that'll do the starting review.
- 49:13[UNKNOWN]: I gotta go watch this dragon gate show now, which already got sport on the brigade match for it, but then I'll be back in just a second for you guys to talk about some dragon gate.
- 49:22[UNKNOWN]: So give me one sec.
- 49:23[UNKNOWN]: All right, folks, back to continue this episode with our next review, which is the Dragon Gate.
- 49:30[UNKNOWN]: Fuckin' whatever this thing is called, Infinity Hesco Pascal, whatever I don't know.
- 49:37[UNKNOWN]: This show name is so stupid.
- 49:39[UNKNOWN]: It was their old award show from this past Saturday, I'll same day as a certain show.
- 49:45[UNKNOWN]: I did a smaller crowd in starting day.
- 49:48[UNKNOWN]: You'll become a good
- 49:53[UNKNOWN]: I'm a little skeptical of that number, given a, the lack of ticket sales leading up as we covered last week and b, just using my eyes to look at the crowd before the show started when the lights were up, but even if you want to take them out the word, it's down from the 1,930, the announced for last year's old award show down more than more than 300, that was made invented by Kikuta, beating Shune Skywalk over the dream gate.
- 50:19[UNKNOWN]: It would also be the fourth lowest owed at tens of the year ahead of only two Marigold shows, which was May 23rd, they did 1,000 to 30, that was that disaster was show they'd barely promoted.
- 50:30[UNKNOWN]: And they're most recent one on August 9th, they did 1,310.
- 50:36[UNKNOWN]: It would also be a head of the New Japan G117 show with the Gabe Zack main, which did 1,580, so about 100 more, I'm a little skeptical, they actually beat that number, but whatever, it finished well behind another Marigold show, which is their January 3rd show with Mikuano versus
- 50:57[UNKNOWN]: and those five are the only sub-2000 tenses are owed of this year.
- 51:02[UNKNOWN]: So that's the club dragon gets him with, you know.
- 51:05[UNKNOWN]: Mario Gold, who's the most struggling promotion in Yoshi, and then one New Japan G1 night that had no draws at all, especially since, you know.
- 51:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, it just did a much worse number.
- 51:16[UNKNOWN]: I compared to the other G1 night that night, that, that, that, that, the, how to, oh, the, the devil had, I think the other one did, like, 2400 or something.
- 51:23[UNKNOWN]: Um, I skipped a free show match, not even really on purpose.
- 51:26[UNKNOWN]: I just didn't, couldn't be bothered to go back, but I'll give the result anyway.
- 51:30[UNKNOWN]: Uh, it was, uh, why don't I five?
- 51:37[UNKNOWN]: Uh, it, okay.
- 51:40[UNKNOWN]: Well, let me see what the, uh, I'm sorry.
- 51:42[UNKNOWN]: I lost my train of thought there because some guy got really mad at me on Twitter.
- 51:47[UNKNOWN]: Uh, to cap to Tashi, problem, uh, Monday or you, problem dragon and real food death, be punched on Agaho, Holon and Tristan moody.
- 51:56[UNKNOWN]: It was real food up hitting moody in 311 with the, with the heli, heli, heli, heli.
- 52:01[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 52:03[UNKNOWN]: The actual part of the main show, Humari and Kazuma Kimura, meaning Masaki Mochizuki and Mochizuki Jr., Humari-pinning Mochiz Jr. in 738 with the Momo Latch.
- 52:15[UNKNOWN]: A lot of talk on commentary about tension between the elder and Jr. Mochizuki's, which may be wonder how much that was a shoot.
- 52:22[UNKNOWN]: I mean, if Mochiz Jr. is complaining about never getting any spots, the dude has a fucking point.
- 52:29[UNKNOWN]: Here he is another fucking tag over to get him pinned again.
- 52:32[UNKNOWN]: Um, good striking from both mochis and as you'd expect, a very nice tag of the floor from home RA just for the five-minute call, and yeah, that mochis junior got pinned as usual.
- 52:43[UNKNOWN]: So pretty good match.
- 52:44[UNKNOWN]: I'd say three and a quarter, nothing you need to run out and see, but enjoyable enough.
- 52:49[UNKNOWN]: I'll just understand why they never, they refuse to do anything with mochis, okay junior, you know, I'll just never, they never do anything with them and just, you know, promotion that.
- 52:57[UNKNOWN]: is not doing it much of anything with anybody.
- 52:59[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's really where they never just, you know, I don't know what I'm doing with this.
- 53:03[UNKNOWN]: It's where they never do anything on multigener.
- 53:05[UNKNOWN]: I guess it's all I'm saying.
- 53:08[UNKNOWN]: Match 2, 10-man tag, the team of Paradox, Jr. Koska, Kagatora, Narekidoi, and BB Hulk, along with Don Fuji, beat the team of Ultimo Dragon and Natural Vibes.
- 53:22[UNKNOWN]: Speaking a lot of other people that never do anything with, Strong Machine J, UT, Gucci, and Aki.
- 53:28[UNKNOWN]: It was the Super Opening Gucci in 1940 with the Gang Kai.
- 53:31[UNKNOWN]: Old people,
- 53:33[UNKNOWN]: One here, and I pretty pedestrian ten man tag, I watched it, I just have no notes for it because did nothing really happened.
- 53:41[UNKNOWN]: This is a math that existed, you know, two and a half star average vanish.
- 53:45[UNKNOWN]: Match 3, Giro Shimbashi, Yamano tail line Chronicles, Harajuku, he loses to Minora Suzuki of course, and five o'clock, the Dodge Pile driver, bringing in Suzuki just to mute his theme song
- 54:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, standard zero comedy match.
- 54:04[UNKNOWN]: Not really anything special about it.
- 54:06[UNKNOWN]: Suzuki picking up the phone zero head draft when he hit the gotcha on him was pretty funny though, I guess, but other than that.
- 54:12[UNKNOWN]: As listeners know, I'm beyond sick of these matches.
- 54:15[UNKNOWN]: Open the Triangle Gate match.
- 54:17[UNKNOWN]: Really the first thing remotely worth watching, I didn't think it was that great.
- 54:21[UNKNOWN]: That was a heo Jackie Kame and Rita defeating the exibito guys everybody.
- 54:27[UNKNOWN]: It's a shocker.
- 54:28[UNKNOWN]: They'd be Genki Horiguchi, Yashuchi Kanda, and Kini Chorai.
- 54:32[UNKNOWN]: Jackie pinned a condon A21 with the Jackie Knife to make their first defense.
- 54:37[UNKNOWN]: Not a very exciting start to this one.
- 54:39[UNKNOWN]: The old guys just beat Jackie down solely for the most part.
- 54:43[UNKNOWN]: We got a very nice dive before by Rita to get us some excitement and things mostly stayed up from there.
- 54:48[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they did the Genki nearly had Jackie pin on the backside times at one point, which felt like it could have been the finish, especially these days in this promotion.
- 54:56[UNKNOWN]: Conta used this great counter pin cut back on Jackie at one point for another super close near fall before Jackie No sold the John roof and conda and then pinned him with the Jackie neck to retain the end of this was awesome So I went three and a half on it overall, which as you'll see is kind of where I land on a lot of these matches with just another good match, but nothing that like
- 55:17[UNKNOWN]: I would be like, again, you have to see this batch, which, you know, seems to be a big problem with a lot of drawing gave you these days.
- 55:22[UNKNOWN]: There's nothing I ever feel super strongly about even when the wrestling is pretty good.
- 55:27[UNKNOWN]: There's also, because I'm not very invested in this promotion.
- 55:29[UNKNOWN]: So how could you be with this booking?
- 55:32[UNKNOWN]: Open the trend date titles, E-Shin and Yoshiki Kato, B-L-C-L-O, and Luis Monte, Kato, and Monte in 1354 with the Kadari Luna,
- 55:42[UNKNOWN]: to make their second defense to the twin gates.
- 55:45[UNKNOWN]: C. L.O.s.
- 55:45[UNKNOWN]: Madador inspired gear.
- 55:47[UNKNOWN]: Easily the coolest he's locked since coming back under his mask in it.
- 55:51[UNKNOWN]: Not even close.
- 55:52[UNKNOWN]: He looked like a fucking star here.
- 55:53[UNKNOWN]: So that's a big improvement over his like that plain black body suit.
- 55:58[UNKNOWN]: It just looks like it's from Chikara and like they've made 2000s, which I do not mean as a compliment.
- 56:03[UNKNOWN]: I mean that looks low rent.
- 56:05[UNKNOWN]: This look cool.
- 56:08[UNKNOWN]: Kato wanted nothing to do with him, still at the start of this match, so he let Eashon start with him instead, that led to a fairly boring heat pair from the champions on CELO, lots of choking, standing on him and stuff, nothing interesting at all here.
- 56:22[UNKNOWN]: Some okay double-teaning by the challengers on Eashon after Montetag Montetag dead, but it was notable to be how dead the crowd was for this.
- 56:31[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they have built up
- 56:33[UNKNOWN]: this Cato versus Cello feud is like one of the big feuds of the earth.
- 56:38[UNKNOWN]: It's probably got more attention than anything not involving Gerald Shambashi, which is we talked about last week, is the only thing that's most in the ever scenes like it gets attention, you know, real attention all the time these days.
- 56:49[UNKNOWN]: But this has gotten more attention than almost anything else.
- 56:53[UNKNOWN]: And the crowd didn't give a fuck.
- 56:54[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the people who are here did not get two
- 57:01[UNKNOWN]: You know, they had a good pace towards the end though, even though the crab was dead.
- 57:06[UNKNOWN]: And then Kato absolutely murdered Seattle with a chair shot in midair, countering a dive.
- 57:10[UNKNOWN]: And that set them up to double team Monte, they used the box attack on them, and they put them away at the one foot pan, which certainly looked dominant.
- 57:17[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, you know, the end of it was really good again.
- 57:20[UNKNOWN]: Just a little too boring for a little too long.
- 57:22[UNKNOWN]: We had to go hired in three and a half.
- 57:24[UNKNOWN]: So that's what I went, three and a half again.
- 57:27[UNKNOWN]: Uh, next up was a special special 6th anti team match, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the team got a lot of why this, this, my, my cursor is going crazy.
- 57:40[UNKNOWN]: How am I doing something bad?
- 57:41[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what I'm doing.
- 57:43[UNKNOWN]: Okay, well, I nation is in the team of the penis team of Yugi Oshiroga and Colta Minora be Madoka Kikuta, Kai, and Jason Lee from Gajadogaro.
- 57:54[UNKNOWN]: It was you hot nation pinning Jason Lee in 1954 through you hot combination.
- 58:00[UNKNOWN]: Even who has steam need to get beautiful copyright, isn't that like a song he just made himself, I'm very confused by the copyright, things and writing date shows.
- 58:09[UNKNOWN]: Good little sequence between KikuTa and Uha, the start, that was fun.
- 58:14[UNKNOWN]: I liked Yoshio, okay, doing the push ups and the two easy pose, but then that was cute.
- 58:18[UNKNOWN]: But then I went into like all crab rolling segment that went on, fucking forever.
- 58:22[UNKNOWN]: But I want to say to get back on the ring, it picked up right away again.
- 58:26[UNKNOWN]: Uha, just like toss KikuTa around, a really cool looking way.
- 58:29[UNKNOWN]: And Uha put Jason Lee away with his Uha combination, not long after that.
- 58:34[UNKNOWN]: Another good match, we're just nothing really got over the top for me, so it's another three and a half.
- 58:38[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I know we're broken record of this show, it's just, you know, it's a lot of good wrestling that's not spectacular.
- 58:43[UNKNOWN]: That's why that's what I saw on the show.
- 58:45[UNKNOWN]: It was funching Uha back though, and the crowd did sure like him.
- 58:48[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 58:50[UNKNOWN]: During the post-batch, they confirm that UHA is going right back to the US after this.
- 58:54[UNKNOWN]: I believe he's headed for TNA, but they'll have to put this team back together.
- 58:58[UNKNOWN]: We've back in Japan, so I guess he's going to come back at some point.
- 59:01[UNKNOWN]: Menorah then asked for a CLO in Montesa come out.
- 59:04[UNKNOWN]: They wanted them to join penis, but end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but probably ultimately be the direction I guess, I don't know.
- 59:11[UNKNOWN]: Open the Brave Gate title, the much talked about.
- 59:14[UNKNOWN]: Open the Brave Gate title match, Dragon Kid, beat Reo Yosenaka in 2141 with a dragon rana.
- 59:21[UNKNOWN]: So Reo Yosen is 13th defense, and Dragon Kid becomes the 56 champion.
- 59:28[UNKNOWN]: This, the opening minutes of this match were, again, just so slow and boring.
- 59:33[UNKNOWN]: I really wish Dragon Gate didn't think they had to lower out their big show matches like this.
- 59:38[UNKNOWN]: Like, just go to the fucking high spots, man.
- 59:40[UNKNOWN]: You guys are really bad at this building tension slow burn stuff.
- 59:44[UNKNOWN]: Um, they hit some nice hard chops, I'm sure they're at least, and then dragging him at this nice satellite head says in the ring, then another head says in the apron of the floor, that was cool, but that was just for the 10 minute call.
- 59:56[UNKNOWN]: I had nothing else to write about for the 10 minutes, because like, they just didn't do much else for that first 10 minutes.
- 1:00:01[UNKNOWN]: Um, and of course they did, they did a bunch of cool shit after that, but why make me way around for 10 minutes to start seeing it, just do the fucking cool shit.
- 1:00:09[UNKNOWN]: That's what we're watching this promotion for, right?
- 1:00:11[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I don't get it sometimes.
- 1:00:14[UNKNOWN]: Then drag, yeah, drag and kitty, beat him with the dragon run out and I, you know, you made the whole caseload that did a long video smack everyone over the whole like closing sequence.
- 1:00:22[UNKNOWN]: Well, yeah, look like the dragon run out, which he hasn't busted out in like eight years, I think.
- 1:00:27[UNKNOWN]: Was got, we got a carrot at first and looked like to not going to be able to put him away.
- 1:00:30[UNKNOWN]: But in the end, you know, he hit the move and he beat him.
- 1:00:33[UNKNOWN]: Now again, I was sport on this and the main event before I watched them.
- 1:00:36[UNKNOWN]: So it's always a good thing, we're saying, when you're sport on a resolve of match, you're always going to like not be as into it, right?
- 1:00:44[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it's number three and a half for me.
- 1:00:46[UNKNOWN]: I mean, there's always too much boring stuff before finally does kick ass at the end.
- 1:00:50[UNKNOWN]: That's why I end up landing on these matches.
- 1:00:52[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, I'm food that came out that real food of a new guy is turning here or whatever.
- 1:00:58[UNKNOWN]: Not new guy, you've been around a while actually, but the guy is finally getting a push.
- 1:01:01[UNKNOWN]: Um, he threw to knock it out after we're at when he embraced Dragon Kid.
- 1:01:05[UNKNOWN]: He was angry about not getting this title shot or whatever.
- 1:01:08[UNKNOWN]: But I guess yeah, that's going to happen in Sunday next week.
- 1:01:13[UNKNOWN]: But the more interesting topic though, than the actual match quality was coming next is the result.
- 1:01:19[UNKNOWN]: Now,
- 1:01:21[UNKNOWN]: I kind of see both arguments.
- 1:01:23[UNKNOWN]: Putting a senior citizen over to Naka to end this record breaking rain is kind of a waste.
- 1:01:28[UNKNOWN]: You could have used it to either hopefully make a new guy or you know,
- 1:01:37[UNKNOWN]: who like beat seven, you know, make it get really good.
- 1:01:39[UNKNOWN]: So over for this, by ending to knock his record, say it in rain, or when I think it would have been the better option, which I've seen a lot of you point, you know, say that this what they wanted to happen and they kind of agree is to have to knock a win the fucking dream gate as rape gay champion and then vacate the brave gay, which that would have been a bigger deal for him.
- 1:01:58[UNKNOWN]: Like it would have made, he's a young guy and you could have made him an even bigger, hopefully top star.
- 1:02:03[UNKNOWN]: This promotion needs something balsy like that.
- 1:02:06[UNKNOWN]: Like that would have been, I think that's what have been ultimately what I would have done if I was in charge.
- 1:02:10[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I would have felt like a big deal and it would have made to not feel like it had even bigger deal and maybe got some fucking juicens, this promotion that's drawing very, you know, poor crowds and not doing well at all anywhere.
- 1:02:21[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, that would have been a good idea to do.
- 1:02:27[UNKNOWN]: Now, on the other hand, Dragon Kid beating him to get enormous pop in the building.
- 1:02:33[UNKNOWN]: It got Dragon Gate on the cover of shoe throw for the first time since 2021, and even Shingle to Kagi was talking about it immediately as in New Japan backstage from where he was saying, you know, this Dragon Gate winning this belt at his age is a big inspiration to him, and that's why he wants to go and do great things to still on his 40s.
- 1:02:49[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it got people talking, right?
- 1:02:52[UNKNOWN]: And I feel like the value of that to Dragon Gate in 2026 is higher.
- 1:02:58[UNKNOWN]: then it would be to a lot of emotions because this is not a promotion that has any buzz, you know, in 2026.
- 1:03:03[UNKNOWN]: It's not a promotion.
- 1:03:04[UNKNOWN]: Again, they don't make the shoe pro cover that often.
- 1:03:07[UNKNOWN]: You know, other promotions, the Joe she makes the shoe pro cover way more often than trying to date does these days.
- 1:03:13[UNKNOWN]: And you know, it just, they need to get attention on themselves if they're going to draw better.
- 1:03:17[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I don't know if it's going to work, like, but they can't hurt, right?
- 1:03:22[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I mean, maybe maybe you get some people to pay attention.
- 1:03:25[UNKNOWN]: Like,
- 1:03:27[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I don't know, I get why people are mad.
- 1:03:30[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, you know, that opened the voice gay host case low, which really angry and like did a big article about it.
- 1:03:34[UNKNOWN]: And so I did a big review about it, which they then posted, separate article.
- 1:03:40[UNKNOWN]: I get also get wide-ranging things, maybe things that's a good idea to get them some buzz.
- 1:03:45[UNKNOWN]: Now, if he turns around and loses this title in five days in Sendai, to reaffoot of via some fucking heel cheating bullshit, that fucking sucks.
- 1:03:56[UNKNOWN]: And I think that very well could happen.
- 1:03:59[UNKNOWN]: You could then argue, oh, well, dragon gate didn't want to knock his ring to end that way.
- 1:04:03[UNKNOWN]: Why you don't have to have food or win the title with bullshit at all, though?
- 1:04:07[UNKNOWN]: So that would be an example like a false choice right there.
- 1:04:09[UNKNOWN]: Like I guarantee if food or win people are going to make that argument as to why this rain wasn't that bad.
- 1:04:13[UNKNOWN]: And it's like, yeah, no, it was still pretty bad.
- 1:04:16[UNKNOWN]: Or why this title change wasn't that bad.
- 1:04:20[UNKNOWN]: Ultimately what I hate the most about it honestly is I always think it's really corny because New Japan did this with Okada too.
- 1:04:26[UNKNOWN]: I think it's pretty corny when you have the record set in rain end of the very next defense after we set the record.
- 1:04:32[UNKNOWN]: I think that screams all it's fake.
- 1:04:33[UNKNOWN]: Don't forget to fake everybody.
- 1:04:35[UNKNOWN]: Why should it necessarily end?
- 1:04:37[UNKNOWN]: They always do this.
- 1:04:37[UNKNOWN]: They always end the very next rain.
- 1:04:40[UNKNOWN]: I guess I want to keep it like, you know, from getting too high before,
- 1:04:49[UNKNOWN]: at least do something to get one more and then let me say I don't know but they're having a lose it immediately after you broke the record it means always kind of stupid but you know I don't know overall this does not feel like one of the bigger dragon dates since the year to me but on the other hand like I said I'm not
- 1:05:04[UNKNOWN]: you know I get why someone like case who cares way more about this version than I do in 2026 and you know is I get why this was kind of a last straw for him so you know I mean just it's not they're booking fucking socks right in 2026 if frequently let's down the promotion and nothing ever feels exciting so this to me is another very unexciting choice
- 1:05:27[UNKNOWN]: But, you know, it didn't get, it didn't get some buzz, I guess, but it just, it just, it just feel like a, I'd, I'd, I'd fast, it feels like a bit of a boring way for this big to knock.
- 1:05:35[UNKNOWN]: I break it, rain to end.
- 1:05:37[UNKNOWN]: I would have done the, the to knock as rain gate, when, as rain gate champion to be honest.
- 1:05:42[UNKNOWN]: The main event, KZ Beach, Yamato, in 2035 with the impact to retain the Dune Gate title, makes his first defense, and I got sport on this too.
- 1:05:51[UNKNOWN]: I did not know, until Jay started talking about it on commentary, that Yamato apparently blamed Japan's low birth rate on KZ and his fans on Twitter during the build of this.
- 1:06:00[UNKNOWN]: That's certainly one theory, I guess, very interesting.
- 1:06:03[UNKNOWN]: He also blamed like the fucking the dollar to end being down, and also I got a very, very interesting.
- 1:06:10[UNKNOWN]: Um, so I like the early part of this match better than the, a lot of the other ones.
- 1:06:13[UNKNOWN]: Even though was also like slow grappling, um, you know, which maybe sounds weird.
- 1:06:19[UNKNOWN]: I just said that you should just go to the high spots.
- 1:06:21[UNKNOWN]: First of all, the main event, I think there's more room for that sort of thing.
- 1:06:25[UNKNOWN]: The maybe in like a more undercard matches and second of all, I just liked the early grappling from them better than most of the other matches early slower stuff.
- 1:06:33[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, they just did it better.
- 1:06:35[UNKNOWN]: I mean, there's this nice tight, tight headlock from your model that went on for a bit.
- 1:06:39[UNKNOWN]: some strong selling from KZ working underneath, and then it felt like they went to the faster step a little earlier than previous matches and KZ got some nice looter style arm drags, but then it felt like a really boring patch again.
- 1:06:51[UNKNOWN]: Like your model's arm work, I just thought, I don't know, just went on for way too long for me.
- 1:06:56[UNKNOWN]: I just didn't find it very interesting.
- 1:07:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:07:00[UNKNOWN]: There wasn't, for a match that went 20 and a half minutes.
- 1:07:02[UNKNOWN]: I don't have that many notes.
- 1:07:03[UNKNOWN]: I don't have that many highlights So just didn't, it didn't work that well.
- 1:07:07[UNKNOWN]: I did that work as a big man event for me.
- 1:07:08[UNKNOWN]: That's for sure I mean, there is this nice little deep leaping dive When KZ like leaped off the second rope and it was springboard up and over To the floor in Yamato that was great to be honest and your model catching with a knee to the face out of nowhere when he charged in the corner
- 1:07:24[UNKNOWN]: that looks great but also felt like the first thing I'm not going to have in the ons.
- 1:07:28[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I don't know.
- 1:07:29[UNKNOWN]: It's like, I'm in about three and a quarter and the below some of the other matches just didn't do a lot for me.
- 1:07:35[UNKNOWN]: Definitely nothing I think you need to write out in launch.
- 1:07:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so just, you know.
- 1:07:40[UNKNOWN]: Yoshi Kato came out to challenge that'll happen on October 2nd at Corrican.
- 1:07:44[UNKNOWN]: We have this show is fine.
- 1:07:46[UNKNOWN]: It's not a show that I hated washing or anything, but it isn't show that board being quite a bit a lot of the way and I'm just, you know, a lot of like good wrestling, but like, I mean, I see good wrestling all the time, right?
- 1:07:56[UNKNOWN]: So it's not like good wrestling alone.
- 1:07:58[UNKNOWN]: It's going to make me want to watch up a motion more.
- 1:08:01[UNKNOWN]: Nothing was great here.
- 1:08:03[UNKNOWN]: And you know, there was plenty on the starting.
- 1:08:05[UNKNOWN]: The starting show wasn't back, right?
- 1:08:06[UNKNOWN]: And there's still stuff on the starting show that was really great that this couldn't touch.
- 1:08:12[UNKNOWN]: You know, I mean, I guess you would, there's nothing on the show recommend running out and watch.
- 1:08:16[UNKNOWN]: I mean, what's my recommended message in the show?
- 1:08:17[UNKNOWN]: Nothing.
- 1:08:18[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you could watch it and you'll probably enjoy it while enough, but like just the direction the promotion feels so boring.
- 1:08:27[UNKNOWN]: The, um, there's no exciting directions coming out of this.
- 1:08:32[UNKNOWN]: You know, your two announced matches coming out of this are like a heal who has no credibility possibly achieve the win the junior title in some town in a few days from a 50 year old man.
- 1:08:42[UNKNOWN]: And then you'll treat you got to getting a title shot against KZ, which he doesn't feel that hot or anything to get that title shot at Corrigan.
- 1:08:48[UNKNOWN]: That's October 2nd.
- 1:08:52[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, just very nothing coming out of this, that's exciting.
- 1:08:56[UNKNOWN]: Unless you're on the edge of your seat, wait to see if you're open, get back the, uh, a worry gate next month, the car can too.
- 1:09:02[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I don't know, it's just like, given how brutally bad some of the year has been, I mean, they had the worst road to show that we like ran and raped about me in Paul on last week's episode and they also had the worst big show of the year in my opinion, the fluke woke a show from early back, I think February, I mean, this was not bad.
- 1:09:20[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, we can say it was a, you know, a positive I guess, but
- 1:09:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:09:25[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to drop this promotion because I like the roster.
- 1:09:29[UNKNOWN]: I want to see this roster, but like Like the people I like the most never seem to get pushed like they never do fucking jack shit with multigener for reasons I have no clue I do not understand
- 1:09:43[UNKNOWN]: Um, and like everything is so boring and dull and just a best and actively bad at worst.
- 1:09:50[UNKNOWN]: I mean, this is the worst approach that I regularly follow.
- 1:09:52[UNKNOWN]: Like I said last week, when Paul asked me, is this, is this, is this, is this, is this marigold?
- 1:09:56[UNKNOWN]: I didn't even have to think about it for a second.
- 1:09:57[UNKNOWN]: It is dragging.
- 1:09:59[UNKNOWN]: Like, marigold.
- 1:10:00[UNKNOWN]: You know, I, I, I kind of enjoyed the article right now.
- 1:10:03[UNKNOWN]: Like I kind of liked the tournament.
- 1:10:04[UNKNOWN]: I got to watch like a two more dream dream star shows, I guess, but I kind of enjoyed the dream star.
- 1:10:10[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I like their roster too.
- 1:10:12[UNKNOWN]: And I don't know, like there's enough stuff going on in my go.
- 1:10:15[UNKNOWN]: I want to see when the dream star.
- 1:10:17[UNKNOWN]: I want to see if my soccer right and I'm down with my soccer right now.
- 1:10:22[UNKNOWN]: You know, uh, got Mikuano if that's the direction they're going and they have a lot of like there's still might be a tiny run waiting to happen.
- 1:10:31[UNKNOWN]: There's a lot of young wrestlers I like.
- 1:10:34[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I think especially now they got their, some of their injured people back and the belts aren't being able to help by injured people like by your own Victoria, you're zuki earlier in the year.
- 1:10:42[UNKNOWN]: I just think Mari go just kind of way more exciting than driving there right now.
- 1:10:45[UNKNOWN]: I just, I had a, there's a lot of stuff I want to see happen there.
- 1:10:48[UNKNOWN]: Dragon gate,
- 1:10:50[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what I want to move from.
- 1:10:52[UNKNOWN]: What I want is emotion, it seems like they don't want to give me.
- 1:10:54[UNKNOWN]: Want to see what you do when you do something.
- 1:10:56[UNKNOWN]: I want to see, you know, we're your Yashinakum in the dream gate.
- 1:11:00[UNKNOWN]: You know, I don't want to see him win the title game, which I think is the only the next thing.
- 1:11:05[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I just state that this promotion just feels very lifeless to me right now.
- 1:11:09[UNKNOWN]: So we'll say where it goes, it means it.
- 1:11:11[UNKNOWN]: It does feel like just like the AI graphics and AI names and everything.
- 1:11:14[UNKNOWN]: It feels like an AI book promotion a lot of ways.
- 1:11:17[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 1:11:18[UNKNOWN]: Uh, they, yeah, you know, that, that's I guess that, I guess they're on the challenge walk if they don't turn things around because you know, they're just not, they're just not that interesting.
- 1:11:30[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, that is your dry gate review.
- 1:11:33[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, it's a bit of a downer as these reviews tend to be these days.
- 1:11:36[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but it wasn't a horrible show again.
- 1:11:38[UNKNOWN]: It was a perfectly fine show.
- 1:11:39[UNKNOWN]: All right.
- 1:11:39[UNKNOWN]: So be back in just a second to get into the all Japan world road batches from the start of the tournament.
- 1:11:45[UNKNOWN]: So see you in a
- 1:11:46[UNKNOWN]: Alright folks, we're back here on Wrestling On the Casay from the beautiful Calahari Resort in the Pocano's recording here on the A.J.P.W.
- 1:11:56[UNKNOWN]: O'Doll Tournament, night one from September 9th this past Wednesday at the Shinigawa Prince Hotel Stella Ball.
- 1:12:06[UNKNOWN]: I think they really mean Stella Ball, but it just says Stella Ball.
- 1:12:09[UNKNOWN]: It did 775 people, so I think they put that as like a no vacancy.
- 1:12:14[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I definitely saw some empty seats out of that, but, you know, I think it's just the lower one of the, you know, no vacancies, but it looked like a big crowd, they were making, they were making plenty of noise, so that was cool.
- 1:12:24[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I'm recording this out of order.
- 1:12:27[UNKNOWN]: I'm actually recording this right before I'm going down to do my Japan travel panel here to a clock on Thursday, so that would be cool.
- 1:12:34[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, so one thing I've already mentioned, I'm sure on the parts that I haven't recorded yet, but you guys have heard already that I'm recording this out of order But I remember when I did the pull off to the old-to-com one people did mention they liked, you know, keep in the promotions together even though it's not quite chronological So that's how I'm doing it with these episodes But yeah, it's a solo episode the auto's gonna sound a little different because some of that recorded by new mic at home and So I'm recording with the old mic on the road, so you know
- 1:13:01[UNKNOWN]: Do what we got to do, as long as I can get out a weekly episode with the, you know, one of my that convention week.
- 1:13:06[UNKNOWN]: So I appreciate you guys, you know, hanging in there with me on the solo weird episodes.
- 1:13:12[UNKNOWN]: You know, I don't want to, don't want to miss a week, especially with the amount of Perusans we cover.
- 1:13:16[UNKNOWN]: It would take forever to get caught up or we just have to skip a bunch of stuff, so, you know.
- 1:13:21[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I'm just covering the tournament this year.
- 1:13:22[UNKNOWN]: So the fourth match of the show, which was the first tournament match, was Timothy Thatcher at defeating Hadecki Suzuki.
- 1:13:29[UNKNOWN]: Obviously in the first round, the Odo tournament in 1524 with a Fujiwara Arnbar.
- 1:13:35[UNKNOWN]: Interesting with, I don't know what, had Timothy Thatcher's deal is, honestly, like as far as where he works.
- 1:13:41[UNKNOWN]: Like maybe you guys would have somebody who's listening to this would know and can tell me in the channel.
- 1:13:47[UNKNOWN]: I mean, page match list him as working for WWE still, but they don't have him working any matches in WWE this year.
- 1:13:59[UNKNOWN]: You know, um, I don't know.
- 1:14:00[UNKNOWN]: It's like, they have more like 6W matches in 2025 and nothing this year.
- 1:14:05[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know if he's actually still employed.
- 1:14:06[UNKNOWN]: It was just a coach or what, but whatever the case is, he's here, wrestling at Dekis Suzuki.
- 1:14:11[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, uh, started out with a lot of trading of holds, of course.
- 1:14:15[UNKNOWN]: Good Matt work.
- 1:14:16[UNKNOWN]: Although I don't know why.
- 1:14:17[UNKNOWN]: Thatcher, I don't know if he always did this or something after being on American TV, but like he's doing a, I didn't really watch a lot of like free.
- 1:14:24[UNKNOWN]: I don't watch that much too many thatcher period, really, because I've never really been a big Euro wrestling fan.
- 1:14:29[UNKNOWN]: Um, and I wasn't a big evolved fan.
- 1:14:31[UNKNOWN]: So I didn't really see any of his runs really.
- 1:14:34[UNKNOWN]: And I've seen him a little bit here or there, most of them when he pops up in Japan.
- 1:14:37[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, you know, he, so I don't know if this is a new thing for him or if it's something he's always done.
- 1:14:42[UNKNOWN]: But he like mean mugs a lot, you know, when he's got people in hold, they kill get on top of the decky and he'll just be like looking around like the ring.
- 1:14:51[UNKNOWN]: Looking around the crowd, making these mean faces that
- 1:14:54[UNKNOWN]: honestly look a little corny at times like you know his grrrr I'm so mean faces just look kind of ridiculous so I don't know I didn't I didn't love that.
- 1:15:02[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, not much to the first five minutes, just trading hold on the mat.
- 1:15:06[UNKNOWN]: Now I think it was battering anything.
- 1:15:08[UNKNOWN]: Um, obviously these two can do that better than most.
- 1:15:11[UNKNOWN]: I thought the crowd, especially was particularly impressed when they reverse each other back and forth out of this like cross necklock, like a cross arm necklock.
- 1:15:20[UNKNOWN]: I probably was a better name than that.
- 1:15:21[UNKNOWN]: Maybe like a bow and arrow hold, I don't know.
- 1:15:23[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, I found this match a little hard to recap and take notes on because it was simply just, I reverse you, you reverse me, I reverse you,
- 1:15:31[UNKNOWN]: on and on to someone finally gets a rope break and then reset.
- 1:15:34[UNKNOWN]: They did destroy a hard upper cut to each other, but then went right back to the mat immediately.
- 1:15:38[UNKNOWN]: Hadekki did hit a series of more upper cuts if they stood back up.
- 1:15:43[UNKNOWN]: Not as hard as the other two, they just traded.
- 1:15:45[UNKNOWN]: For a factored like he did this weird little war, and then just like back to decky up in the ropes, just like kind of moved forward and Madekki just kept backing up.
- 1:15:53[UNKNOWN]: It was a little weird looking, and then he had a belly-to-beysuplex, yeah, just kind of a weird sequence there.
- 1:15:58[UNKNOWN]: I didn't love that.
- 1:15:59[UNKNOWN]: Um, I will say I was pretty surprised when I heard the 15 minute call.
- 1:16:03[UNKNOWN]: I guess I somehow missed the 10.
- 1:16:05[UNKNOWN]: So assume you didn't drag.
- 1:16:06[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but then like the moment they hit the 15 minute call, fature took them down on the mat and tapped them out almost immediately with a non bar.
- 1:16:13[UNKNOWN]: So the ending was kind of hooking to me.
- 1:16:14[UNKNOWN]: It was like, oh, it's 15 minutes.
- 1:16:16[UNKNOWN]: All right, now I can win.
- 1:16:17[UNKNOWN]: It's just very strange.
- 1:16:18[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I just didn't think this managed that much overall.
- 1:16:20[UNKNOWN]: It was okay.
- 1:16:21[UNKNOWN]: But I go like two and three quarters, uh, easily the weakest of these three because as you're going to hear, I love the other two matches, but this one didn't do a lot for me.
- 1:16:29[UNKNOWN]: So yes, that's her is the first monster to advance to the quarter finals, so they're doing a double header and she can keep up with a couple of quarter finals next week Which obviously we'll talk about next week's show So his match will be on the first one on September 16th Or he'll face the winner of Ray Saito versus Uma Anzai Which is happening September 13th in maps and moto, so that That show I guess we'll talk about this episode.
- 1:16:52[UNKNOWN]: I actually didn't look up to see if these are VOD or not, that's the only way they
- 1:16:55[UNKNOWN]: could maybe not be on this week.
- 1:16:57[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it's live or video day.
- 1:16:59[UNKNOWN]: I should have looked that up.
- 1:17:00[UNKNOWN]: I just thought of that.
- 1:17:02[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the next match also in the first round was Ken Tomeahara beating Yo-O-Gawa in 10.54 with a shut-down suplex hold, uh, this match was fucking awesome.
- 1:17:14[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I was intrigued going in, right?
- 1:17:16[UNKNOWN]: Because I mostly, I don't know if I've ever seen O-Gawa in anything but multi-man tags.
- 1:17:21[UNKNOWN]: At this point, even then I haven't seen that much of them.
- 1:17:23[UNKNOWN]: Like, I remember he was in a lot of multi-man tags on the champion carnival tour, but like,
- 1:17:28[UNKNOWN]: just the only way I can cover all these tournaments is just to skip all the tags, right?
- 1:17:32[UNKNOWN]: I mean, otherwise I'd just be impossible to cover, you know, the sheer number of tournaments we cover on this podcast.
- 1:17:38[UNKNOWN]: So I didn't see a lot of that.
- 1:17:39[UNKNOWN]: I really haven't seen much of them at all.
- 1:17:41[UNKNOWN]: I've been pre-infressed by them when I've seen them.
- 1:17:43[UNKNOWN]: I mean, he has a presence to them.
- 1:17:45[UNKNOWN]: That is for sure.
- 1:17:46[UNKNOWN]: So I was very curious what this would look like.
- 1:17:48[UNKNOWN]: And I figured Kendo will be the guy to, you know, guide a kind of raw rookie through a match like this.
- 1:17:54[UNKNOWN]: And boy, was that correct?
- 1:17:55[UNKNOWN]: And
- 1:17:57[UNKNOWN]: So starting out pretty fast and furious, uh, both guys, both guys were moving more like they were at a high speed title match, then the last actual high speed title match for Saturdays started in the court.
- 1:18:08[UNKNOWN]: And I mean, this was like a high speed title match in a lot of ways way more than that one was.
- 1:18:14[UNKNOWN]: Kendoga, a black out Nianogawa, almost immediately, he tried to go for the shutdown journey within like a minute or two of the match, Ogawa escaped and rolled him up for super close near fall, and then when Kendo went out to the floor Ogawa actually like he was going to dive on him from the apron before springboarding right back into the ring and just posing.
- 1:18:32[UNKNOWN]: Very cool start of the match, and Kendo and response grabbed his hair in anger, but I always kind of get a kick out when he does that.
- 1:18:37[UNKNOWN]: It was funny.
- 1:18:39[UNKNOWN]: Kento though, baited him and charging on the apron, which I guess is where the experience had to come into play.
- 1:18:44[UNKNOWN]: He just hit this elbow to him when he did charge over there, then he dragged him out to the floor for your standard Kento, ringside brawling segment.
- 1:18:53[UNKNOWN]: The headboats have a pretty vicious here, I will say that, maybe a little more unusual.
- 1:18:56[UNKNOWN]: But you probably know the drill here on the body, it was like head butt, head butt, something I had in the ring post, another head butt.
- 1:19:01[UNKNOWN]: I will say at least, water, the referee, start of the 10 count pretty quick for once.
- 1:19:06[UNKNOWN]: Usually he acts like, all he can do, like, I'm powerless to stop this, I'm just going to yell I can't go to get back in the ring.
- 1:19:11[UNKNOWN]: But no, you have a 10 count, it's a 10 count in this motion.
- 1:19:14[UNKNOWN]: In many things, you are more empowered than in the vast majority of Japanese Russian promotions when they have a 20 count to get this back in the ring faster, and then you strangely don't do it.
- 1:19:22[UNKNOWN]: A lot of fashes, but here he went to the 10 count.
- 1:19:24[UNKNOWN]: I was like, do this all the time, water.
- 1:19:27[UNKNOWN]: uh... he practically pushed to go back to the ring himself just for the five minute college kento was understandly pissed about my get what is what is the deal with that buddy that was with like he just helped him out uh... oh god oh god or the whole fire back at the ring was one of his awesome flying shoulder blocks where he legit looks like he got shot out of a cannon
- 1:19:46[UNKNOWN]: Just looks so cool.
- 1:19:47[UNKNOWN]: He did a couple more that weren't quite that impressive, but we're still good.
- 1:19:50[UNKNOWN]: Then he hit a backdrop suit plaques He just fucking jumps around.
- 1:19:54[UNKNOWN]: There's a little front flip and starts posing.
- 1:19:56[UNKNOWN]: I kind of loved his guys like he's so ridiculous But in a really cool way He then hit a falling head butt for a two count
- 1:20:02[UNKNOWN]: He did this weird move where he went out to the apron.
- 1:20:05[UNKNOWN]: I guess the idea was he sling shot himself back in, but he honestly didn't look at he got much of a speed burst off of that, but it was whatever, because he can't just look him down at Armbar anyway, and then Ogao demands to get to the ropes just after Ken Doe got it fully extended into a crossarm rager.
- 1:20:20[UNKNOWN]: Ogao came back with some hard chops in the chest, and a big delayed soon-plex for another near fall.
- 1:20:26[UNKNOWN]: Kento got a boot to the face, but then he leapt into his arms and Ogawa, like just caught him there and turned it into a giant swing.
- 1:20:33[UNKNOWN]: That was fucking great.
- 1:20:35[UNKNOWN]: Kento hit him with the flying knee, Ogawa just stagger around like a madman instead of going down, just as he got the 10 minute call, and this look Kento gave like what is this guy's deal was pretty great, where he just hit a second flying knee and covered, but Ogawa just barely kicked out.
- 1:20:49[UNKNOWN]: Kendall then went for the shutdown German on our bow again.
- 1:20:52[UNKNOWN]: He got the arms lock this time And then he finally hit it, which I thought I thought I was gonna get out of against us a little surprise And that was the pen.
- 1:21:00[UNKNOWN]: I love this match.
- 1:21:00[UNKNOWN]: I thought this is my favorite Kendall match and I don't even know how long
- 1:21:04[UNKNOWN]: It's probably because it felt so far outside of its usual formula, besides the very brief crowd-rolling segment.
- 1:21:10[UNKNOWN]: They did it as this crazy 10-minute sprint, so it just felt different, which my biggest complaint with Ken do is all of Matt just feel the same, but this one didn't feel different because of the sprint aspect to it.
- 1:21:20[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, this yellow gal guy, he definitely has something, right?
- 1:21:24[UNKNOWN]: I can't think anyone who watches him can tell he has something.
- 1:21:26[UNKNOWN]: He's a little goofy, maybe, but I think there's a lane in Japanese wrestling right now for this big flashy over-the-top heavyweight.
- 1:21:35[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I like this a lot, four-and-a-quarter, just an awesome fucking match.
- 1:21:40[UNKNOWN]: So Ken do moves on to the second half of that shinkieba double header on September 17th, where he will face the winner of Ryuki Honda and Kuma Arashi from being 1912 Kulu Bay Show.
- 1:21:51[UNKNOWN]: Our final first time match of the night was Go Shiozaki defeating Renai Abe in 2227 with the powerful arm-lariat.
- 1:22:01[UNKNOWN]: So this one started out with an extended lock-up.
- 1:22:05[UNKNOWN]: I have a one that when he pushed go back in the ropes.
- 1:22:08[UNKNOWN]: He gave Go because very condescending clean brake, basically like patting on the head and told me as a good boy.
- 1:22:13[UNKNOWN]: That was funny.
- 1:22:14[UNKNOWN]: They treated some headlocks and shoulder blocks.
- 1:22:18[UNKNOWN]: Another exchange that went runs away as he'd not go down.
- 1:22:20[UNKNOWN]: And the idea, the concept they got across in this match very well, was run-side, which was constantly frustrating, go.
- 1:22:27[UNKNOWN]: Because it goes like a very straight ahead wrestler, and he's just trying to knock this big guy down constantly, just couldn't do it.
- 1:22:32[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, it definitely made a lot of sense, and Ren has gotten so much better at working to his size in this year, I think.
- 1:22:39[UNKNOWN]: I mean, he's,
- 1:22:41[UNKNOWN]: I think a lot of that is the team with, um, oh god, uh, they're gonna kill me for not.
- 1:22:47[UNKNOWN]: Especially, uh, especially job evidence is a biggest fan.
- 1:22:50[UNKNOWN]: The fucking big dude in the tag team that I can't take it with his name now.
- 1:22:54[UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm talking about?
- 1:22:54[UNKNOWN]: The fucking titans are clamourty, right?
- 1:22:56[UNKNOWN]: I abay, and whatever his teammate's name that I cannot remember right now is, uh, you can, you, sure, you know, multiple people yelling up their iPhones right now.
- 1:23:03[UNKNOWN]: I just cannot think of his name, and I'm like looking it up.
- 1:23:05[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 1:23:06[UNKNOWN]: Well, the TV just made a lot of noise and turned itself off.
- 1:23:09[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry.
- 1:23:11[UNKNOWN]: I remember the good scare to show off somebody they did last year.
- 1:23:13[UNKNOWN]: Oh, to come.
- 1:23:14[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, so Rennay Abe and one of the fuckest partners name is I think I think he's learned how to work better as a big man from teaming with them.
- 1:23:24[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I think that Talos, that is his name.
- 1:23:27[UNKNOWN]: I just worried I didn't look at up and just came to me finally.
- 1:23:29[UNKNOWN]: Talos is his name.
- 1:23:31[UNKNOWN]: So, yes, from working with Talos as a partner, Ayabbe has gotten a lot better.
- 1:23:37[UNKNOWN]: I think it's working as a big man.
- 1:23:38[UNKNOWN]: I think he's taking that to hard, watching Talos, obviously not even as physically impressive as Ayabbe, like from an athleticism standpoint, but he was obviously better much better when the team first formed and working as a big man.
- 1:23:51[UNKNOWN]: And I think Ayabbe has taken a lot of that to hard and that does a better job at that.
- 1:23:57[UNKNOWN]: Case in point a little bit later the match.
- 1:23:59[UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to do every move this match was a little bit long But I have a caught go by the throat when go is going to hit this running pk to him from the apron and just look like you know The big monster grabbed him and just grabbed hold of him and they turned this into this big slam where he slams go to the floor We land a pretty hard sick bump there from the grizzled veteran go shows hockey
- 1:24:22[UNKNOWN]: I'll be then picks go up and just random and the rams him into the ring post repeatedly You know again using a size of manage and just throwing people around it well and there's big body slam out there and go For going back in the ring Go though started coming back with the hard chops to the chesa they were like sort of between a chop and open handed slab I think that would be like a go-to for go a go-to for go-ha Did not you know purpose I'm sorry
- 1:24:47[UNKNOWN]: I'd go to you for go, the rest of the match, and they always look great, and I Abbey's like chest, you could see it was like beat, right by the end, but yeah, but the other thing Goliath really wanted to match was he was like selling his exhaust gun and the the beating he took, as he even as he was getting moved, getting these moves off of the chat, mostly chat, and he keeps trying to shoulder block down the giant, he couldn't do it before and finally hitting this big jumping shoulder block up the ropes that did finally knock I Abbey down.
- 1:25:13[UNKNOWN]: One of the big bad spots to match for me though, go try to do the Spear Diabe on the floor, that did not look good at all.
- 1:25:20[UNKNOWN]: It was like weirdly slow motion and look like they basically just fell down together.
- 1:25:24[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, more hard chops in the corner from Go.
- 1:25:28[UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to get to the finisher because I gotta go do my panel.
- 1:25:32[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 1:25:34[UNKNOWN]: I Abbey at one point like, you get one of the bossing crab, go sold that really well, both times he was in it, you know.
- 1:25:40[UNKNOWN]: He sold, he sold the bossing crab really well, they're selling the struggle and making it to the ropes.
- 1:25:44[UNKNOWN]: And for a guy who like famously had had trouble making facial expressions beyond board or whatever, I thought I Abbey's faces after standing up when he knoll sold a go-short on Larry.
- 1:25:55[UNKNOWN]: We're pretty damn good actually.
- 1:25:57[UNKNOWN]: Look, so he's improving on that too.
- 1:25:59[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, go finally put them down there with a running variant for the pen, would send go to the quarterfinals.
- 1:26:04[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, so he'll face the winner of a match between his former stablemates, Zion Odyssey.
- 1:26:10[UNKNOWN]: Those two are facing each other in the next show we'll talk about the 912 crew base show.
- 1:26:13[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, that match will happen the second half of the double header on the 917.
- 1:26:18[UNKNOWN]: But this match is pretty awesome.
- 1:26:19[UNKNOWN]: I would put a touch below Kento Ogaawa due to the more deliberate pace and a few spots like that spear to the floor.
- 1:26:26[UNKNOWN]: I didn't think it looked great at all, but still had a ton of fun with it.
- 1:26:28[UNKNOWN]: Still we'll go four stars flat.
- 1:26:30[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, really good opening at the tournament.
- 1:26:32[UNKNOWN]: Two matches I really loved.
- 1:26:33[UNKNOWN]: Two notebook matches.
- 1:26:35[UNKNOWN]: One match I thought was okay, and I could see other people liking that match more than the
- 1:26:40[UNKNOWN]: Suzuki match, but yeah, don't imagine it's okay for me.
- 1:26:43[UNKNOWN]: You ought to try that were awesome.
- 1:26:44[UNKNOWN]: So good start.
- 1:26:46[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, we back in just a sec.
- 1:26:48[UNKNOWN]: Many days from now for me, but just a sec for you guys, to talk about the second show of the week, the September 12th Odo show.
- 1:26:55[UNKNOWN]: So hold on a sec.
- 1:26:56[UNKNOWN]: All right, folks, back with the continuing coverage of the Odo tournament as we're covering night two now.
- 1:27:02[UNKNOWN]: This was from this past Saturday, September 12th.
- 1:27:06[UNKNOWN]: from Coulobay City, General Gymnasium, Maine, Arena.
- 1:27:11[UNKNOWN]: It's in Toriyama Prefecture, the Far North Coast of Japan, very near Nigata, and announced crowd of 524.
- 1:27:19[UNKNOWN]: I think on paper, right, pretty much anyone would tell you, this was the rough night when it comes to three tournament matches.
- 1:27:25[UNKNOWN]: That kind of is how it played out.
- 1:27:27[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I don't think it was horrible or anything.
- 1:27:28[UNKNOWN]: I mean, there was one match I liked quite a bit.
- 1:27:31[UNKNOWN]: One match I thought was fine.
- 1:27:32[UNKNOWN]: A little got there in a weird way as we'll get to.
- 1:27:34[UNKNOWN]: And the match that everybody kind of struggled with simply probably horrible wasn't eat horrible, but so our first tournament match here in the first round was Daisuke Sekimoto beating Shotaura Ashido in 1318 with the big bang catastrophe.
- 1:27:48[UNKNOWN]: his name for the FU or the I-2 just whatever I want to call it to move on so he is now going to face the winner of June site over as Yuma Ayagi from the next night that match will happen on 1916.
- 1:28:02[UNKNOWN]: Not the most interesting start to the match here just kind of slow and plotting in front of a mostly dead crowd to start.
- 1:28:10[UNKNOWN]: They did get the crowd into more
- 1:28:12[UNKNOWN]: when they started just roaring constantly, you know, no selling Germans back and forth and such.
- 1:28:17[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, good on them.
- 1:28:18[UNKNOWN]: It didn't do that much for me still at this point, but it was always impressive when you got a crowd who was making zero noise to start making some noise.
- 1:28:27[UNKNOWN]: And I really picked up from them.
- 1:28:28[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they did some really nice striking before the 10-minute mark, they threw some big knees and maybe right after 10-minute mark.
- 1:28:34[UNKNOWN]: There's some big knees and some uppercuts to the face.
- 1:28:37[UNKNOWN]: Before Ashino hit a huge
- 1:28:42[UNKNOWN]: Then the moment the second you want to kick down, you know, right back into an ankle lock here been trying earlier, very smooth transition.
- 1:28:48[UNKNOWN]: The credits started chaining form a bit too, not that it helped him as ever, as he kept the ankle lock on, even the second motor tried to twist his way out twice in a row, for it turned into a heel hook, but sorry, this is pretty stupid, it's final alert.
- 1:29:02[UNKNOWN]: Uh, he turned it into a hillhook, second motor, which is 10, my fucking horrible baseball team lost 10 to one today.
- 1:29:08[UNKNOWN]: So baseball's dead to me as far as I'm concerned right now.
- 1:29:11[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, second motor, I guess I try to twist it, twist his way out, actually no god but a hillhook.
- 1:29:22[UNKNOWN]: second model that was able to power him out of that, like just lift him dead, lift him in her deadlift German from that, off of his, off of his own leg, basically.
- 1:29:29[UNKNOWN]: That the cool is how, and then he hit a standing where it for close near fall, then he hit the, you know, the attitude adjustment and got out in the pen.
- 1:29:37[UNKNOWN]: I, I'll never understand.
- 1:29:39[UNKNOWN]: Why all Japan is so allergic to pushing ash, you know, especially when he's always over, like the crowd really wanted to win this match, but like, to be fair, like I think all podcasters have been at horse so far past death, we're like, you know, in the regular mortise at this point, so like he's he's clearly never getting pushed, whatever.
- 1:29:57[UNKNOWN]: I'm not like I was surprised to see him go out in the first round here.
- 1:30:01[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, for a match, it wasn't into it all.
- 1:30:03[UNKNOWN]: This and the beam I matched the night I liked, you know, I liked it quite a bit three and a half stars.
- 1:30:06[UNKNOWN]: It was a good match.
- 1:30:08[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the second match on this show and the second form match in the first round, uh, Odyssey losing the Zion and 118 Zion depending on the diving headbutt.
- 1:30:18[UNKNOWN]: The winner here moves on moved on to face, who is Zion obviously moves on to face Ghost Josake on, uh, the September 17 show.
- 1:30:26[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I guess Zion is wearing some Australian tag title belt or something as he came out.
- 1:30:30[UNKNOWN]: I think that's what the belt itself said.
- 1:30:33[UNKNOWN]: That's news to cage match though.
- 1:30:34[UNKNOWN]: They had nothing about this title reign.
- 1:30:38[UNKNOWN]: just a very boring start.
- 1:30:40[UNKNOWN]: You know, the big high spot was Odyssey just kind of catching him out of the corner and got big into the floor and doing a goofy dance while Zion just laid out there for a while.
- 1:30:49[UNKNOWN]: Then we just have incredibly boring outside the ring brawling where absolutely nothing happened.
- 1:30:53[UNKNOWN]: The five-minute call came during this that made well been five hours just such a boring match.
- 1:30:59[UNKNOWN]: Extended bare hug from Odyssey back on the ring, which did not turn
- 1:31:06[UNKNOWN]: He's so fucking bad.
- 1:31:07[UNKNOWN]: He could not even sell a fucking running form of the face properly somehow They have to think okay a man runs over and hits you in the face for a fucking form should not be a hard thing to sell But instead of acting like I just got hit in the face He's like I'm gonna like pour out my face and act like it's a breathing like a fish and kind of wander around looking confused and like that's not selling a form I don't know what that is honestly it looked horrible
- 1:31:35[UNKNOWN]: You know, 10 minute call, I both guys doing a double down and I was like, please fuck it in this match.
- 1:31:40[UNKNOWN]: Thankfully, they did.
- 1:31:41[UNKNOWN]: I honestly got hit with a mid air cutter by Zion when he tried to splash off the middle rope and then Zion immediately followed up with a headbutt off the second rope for a win.
- 1:31:50[UNKNOWN]: Great news, anyone.
- 1:31:51[UNKNOWN]: and that Odyssey was great news that the match is over first of all, and they also that he once Odyssey is out.
- 1:31:58[UNKNOWN]: I guess they're still kind of cool, and that's the only positive aspect, practically.
- 1:32:03[UNKNOWN]: The rest is meant with a steaming pile of horseshit.
- 1:32:06[UNKNOWN]: Sometimes you think the match would be bad, and it surprises you, and this was not one of those times.
- 1:32:11[UNKNOWN]: One half of a star.
- 1:32:13[UNKNOWN]: The next match, the main event of the show, was Ryuki Honda beating Kuma Arashi in
- 1:32:21[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, the winner of this would move me on the face, Kenton Mia Haram, the 17th, which I was quite confident will be Honda, and that is what happened.
- 1:32:28[UNKNOWN]: To it's not a super interesting start here, you know, some basic chain wrestling.
- 1:32:34[UNKNOWN]: I actually did his fucking bear war abines.
- 1:32:36[UNKNOWN]: You kind of know the drill there.
- 1:32:37[UNKNOWN]: And this was just a very slow, very boring match to start, which after the last one, especially was obviously not what you wanted to say.
- 1:32:44[UNKNOWN]: I guess Honda selling was pretty good, but Ara she was just beating him and beating him and beating him and the crowd was mostly quiet besides a few Honda calls and the sounds were baby crying and I was like I still have so much more wrestling on a watch to finish up this episode and this fucking match be over.
- 1:33:02[UNKNOWN]: If you love watching KumaRosh, you stand on people low and you'll love this match out of now.
- 1:33:06[UNKNOWN]: They fought over a front suplex for a while before Honda got it.
- 1:33:10[UNKNOWN]: His first bit of offense, and we felt like an eternity, just for the 10 minute call.
- 1:33:15[UNKNOWN]: To be fair to Kuma, I guess he hit a nice front drop kick, he got great in on it for a man in size.
- 1:33:20[UNKNOWN]: He then immediately went back to the stupid bear call whenever because of course he did.
- 1:33:24[UNKNOWN]: He got Honda up in an Argentine backbreaker.
- 1:33:27[UNKNOWN]: Then just kind of placed him on the apron when Honda was lightly trying to fight out of it.
- 1:33:31[UNKNOWN]: That didn't look too great.
- 1:33:33[UNKNOWN]: He followed him out there on the two traded some pretty mediocre looking forearm shots.
- 1:33:38[UNKNOWN]: We're Honda finally caught him with a good one at the end and knocked him off.
- 1:33:42[UNKNOWN]: I actually know when he felt the ground, he just calmly closed lines, he had his legs off from under, and that was kind of funny looking, I thought.
- 1:33:50[UNKNOWN]: But then he did a nice fucking set of time to be able from the floor.
- 1:33:53[UNKNOWN]: That was easy to spot the match at this point.
- 1:33:55[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the first cool thing to have in the match to be honest is already crushed him.
- 1:34:00[UNKNOWN]: they followed it up with nothing, they just didn't do anything for a bit.
- 1:34:04[UNKNOWN]: Actually, finally got back on the ring though, as we got the 15-minute call, they both ran back and four, they did some pretty great lyrics for each other, they started trading in no selling suplexes, so finally picked up just to lead to another double knock down keys, and the start stop made for this match by this point was driving me fucking crazy, but the crab was finally into it, so that's that's something.
- 1:34:24[UNKNOWN]: Um, they stood back up and threw some more kind of weak-looking forms to each other.
- 1:34:27[UNKNOWN]: Um, but then they started throwing these really hard short-range laryots.
- 1:34:32[UNKNOWN]: The laryots looked, that was a big improvement.
- 1:34:35[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Kula finally knocked him down with wanting covered for a two count.
- 1:34:39[UNKNOWN]: Honda came back with two more laryots.
- 1:34:41[UNKNOWN]: The back was head, a big release German, and then another laryot to the front for his own yearfall.
- 1:34:47[UNKNOWN]: He goes for his power bomb thing, but you know that one arm power bomb he does, but ours is blocking it after ducking another Larry it.
- 1:34:53[UNKNOWN]: He got a huge crossbody for a two account.
- 1:34:55[UNKNOWN]: That looks cool too.
- 1:34:56[UNKNOWN]: That was just for the 20 minute call.
- 1:35:00[UNKNOWN]: Kuma also kept going for his big gut runs driver thing and finally got it on like the third or fourth try behind the kick-out too.
- 1:35:08[UNKNOWN]: Kuma then went up top for the centon but Honda rolled out the way and Kuma landed hard.
- 1:35:12[UNKNOWN]: Honda then tried more laryots, finally knocking down, they traded and then hit another running laryot.
- 1:35:17[UNKNOWN]: Kuma kept kicking out though.
- 1:35:19[UNKNOWN]: Honda then finally powered up with a big power bomb and that got the pen.
- 1:35:24[UNKNOWN]: That did feel
- 1:35:29[UNKNOWN]: I guess two and a half, like there, I feel like I hated a lot of this match and then finally I thought it got really good at times, but I hated way too much of it to go higher than I do in a half, it's like an average match of best, right?
- 1:35:39[UNKNOWN]: I mean, maybe that's even being generous, given how much of it I hated when I rebacked these notes, but there were a lot of things I liked about it too, especially towards the end and then then I just kind of ended, so I don't know.
- 1:35:51[UNKNOWN]: You know, this was looked like, like I said before, it looked like kind of the roughest night in the three on paper and it probably was.
- 1:35:57[UNKNOWN]: I've watched my three out of about two before I record on that, but it's only two matches.
- 1:36:01[UNKNOWN]: I can't really see that being.
- 1:36:02[UNKNOWN]: I can't see either of those matches being any worse than Zion Rodgers, for sure.
- 1:36:05[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 1:36:06[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, the main is a little bit too long to call it worth your time.
- 1:36:10[UNKNOWN]: Um, obviously don't watch Zion out of save, but I think if you watched Ashie, I wouldn't like Taylor run out and watch Ashie on second mode, but you probably enjoyed if you did.
- 1:36:17[UNKNOWN]: So it was a good match.
- 1:36:19[UNKNOWN]: All right, so be right back in just a second to wrap up the first week of the Odo coverage with night three in the first round.
- 1:36:26[UNKNOWN]: I should say, so be back in a second.
- 1:36:27[UNKNOWN]: Alright folks, so here we go, wrap it up the All Japan Odo Tournament first week, the first round, with the show from this past Sunday, September 13th, that was night three.
- 1:36:41[UNKNOWN]: Only two matches here around the first round.
- 1:36:43[UNKNOWN]: It was held from the Kisei Bunkahal Medium Hall in Matsumoto, over in Nagano Freefactor, and
- 1:36:49[UNKNOWN]: to a nice crowd of 680 who are much more boisterous for these two matches than the previous nice crab was for a night too, which I'm sure I have, but yeah, they also just got better matches so I mean, you know, it started out with race, it's a chicken or anything, right?
- 1:37:04[UNKNOWN]: Like, what's the crab more into this?
- 1:37:06[UNKNOWN]: Because the match is your better, what's the match, where the match is better, because the crab was more into it, who knows really?
- 1:37:12[UNKNOWN]: But the first of the two torn matches was Yuma Anzai, leading Ray Saito in 11 Madison 23 seconds, so that moved Yuma Anzai to face Timothy Thatcher tomorrow as I'm recording this September 16th.
- 1:37:23[UNKNOWN]: So that keep forgetting that match will probably are the 16th show will have already happened by the time any of you here in this show.
- 1:37:29[UNKNOWN]: But that'll cover, we'll cover that next week's show.
- 1:37:32[UNKNOWN]: Um, Onzai hit some nice drop kicks on Ray early to send him to the floor.
- 1:37:36[UNKNOWN]: Uh, they did a little bit of brawling out there.
- 1:37:39[UNKNOWN]: Onzai was throwing forms and Ray was answering with these big chops.
- 1:37:43[UNKNOWN]: Uh, he then gave Ray, he then gave Onzai, should say, this big running body attack up against the ring post.
- 1:37:49[UNKNOWN]: It was a little slow back in the ring though.
- 1:37:52[UNKNOWN]: Not that much happened until Ray got Onzai in the corner and started chopping and repeatedly, that was cool.
- 1:37:57[UNKNOWN]: Arms I tried to fire back with more forms, but Rae just put them down with a single slap to the face.
- 1:38:03[UNKNOWN]: Arms I came back with this big leaping knee, but Rae blocked a second one from a kneeling position.
- 1:38:08[UNKNOWN]: Then they just kind of started throwing more forms and chops again, which you feel a little repetitive, but you know, not that big of deal.
- 1:38:16[UNKNOWN]: Rae's big open handed chops were just really good though, so I can't really blame him from going to that well.
- 1:38:21[UNKNOWN]: That going to that well a lot.
- 1:38:23[UNKNOWN]: Um, Anzai kept slapping across the face with Anzai selling, sorry, I wrote that wrong.
- 1:38:29[UNKNOWN]: Ray kept slapping across the face with Anzai selling that he's near unconscious as we got to the 10-minute call.
- 1:38:35[UNKNOWN]: Ray then dropped him with a big choke slam, but Anzai just barely kicked out.
- 1:38:39[UNKNOWN]: And finally, he got a comeback from on-site, he managed to get a very impressive looking German suitplex on his much larger opponent, followed by the flying knee attack again, and then this time he got the knee to the kneeling ray that ray had produced a lot.
- 1:38:53[UNKNOWN]: But then the weirdness has he covered him, and looked at what a county three, but it looked like ray kicked out.
- 1:39:00[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I don't know what was up with that.
- 1:39:01[UNKNOWN]: That was very strange.
- 1:39:04[UNKNOWN]: It's a very, very strange spot there.
- 1:39:05[UNKNOWN]: I wanted to count three anyway and declare on the wetter.
- 1:39:09[UNKNOWN]: So I know what happened there.
- 1:39:10[UNKNOWN]: This was leaning towards being very good, but it was marred a little by the weird and possibly blown finish, which I feel like I had to take off at least a quarter star for.
- 1:39:18[UNKNOWN]: So three and a half overall, good match.
- 1:39:20[UNKNOWN]: But I don't know what the fuck happened with that finish.
- 1:39:23[UNKNOWN]: The main event though, the other tournament was fucking awesome.
- 1:39:26[UNKNOWN]: This was Yuma Aoyagi, beating June Saito in 20 minutes and 20 seconds by referee-stabbage.
- 1:39:32[UNKNOWN]: The winner of this move down to phase-dice case-secondy motto, tomorrow, so we get dice-gibberish is Yuma Aoyagi.
- 1:39:39[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this started out with June Saito backing him up into the ropes and giving him a clean break.
- 1:39:44[UNKNOWN]: They ended up on the floor for more crowd-brawling, which is one thing practically every promotion in Japan has way too much of the
- 1:39:53[UNKNOWN]: Um, it's a nice big slap to the chest of you, but I do know that was cool.
- 1:39:57[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, on the floor.
- 1:39:57[UNKNOWN]: I mean, uh, we got back in the ring just after the five minute call or June covered for a two count.
- 1:40:03[UNKNOWN]: Um, it did kind of feel early to me.
- 1:40:05[UNKNOWN]: I guess to make a complaint that you know was selling a lot for a relatively small amount of offense.
- 1:40:10[UNKNOWN]: But I think that's just kind of a style in general.
- 1:40:12[UNKNOWN]: He's a, he's a big seller.
- 1:40:14[UNKNOWN]: Very, very hot non-coded.
- 1:40:17[UNKNOWN]: Finally got to humans come back, he got this big running form shot, followed by a second running form in the corner, then he did this nice leaping cross body when June 7th tried to reverse and whip him in the corner, he just leapt on the second rope and left back down the cross body.
- 1:40:32[UNKNOWN]: That looked really cool.
- 1:40:33[UNKNOWN]: Then he hit a second cross body off the top rope for a two count, before immediately going to his French victory necklock, which is the end game, that's what he ended up winning with, but June here was able to make a
- 1:40:43[UNKNOWN]: June went back over as we headed to the 10-minute call, and one for the choke slam, but you might escape and got a nice little dropkick.
- 1:40:51[UNKNOWN]: He went up top, but it merely got cut off and slammed off of there by June for a two-count, which started like a building of the story the match for the rest of the match.
- 1:40:59[UNKNOWN]: Um, a bit later we got a double knock down T's, the one to a strike exchange, June was hitting this weird, but kind of brutal looking honestly like formed a throat almost, it looked a little pretty brutal.
- 1:41:10[UNKNOWN]: He had like two of those for a switch back to the open hand slap, and then a running boot in the corner.
- 1:41:15[UNKNOWN]: Uh, you might answer with this big running form followed by spinning DDT and he covered just so he got the 15-minute call, but you can kick out, uh, you may follow up with the Fisherman's Buster for another two count, then try to go up top again, only that cut off by June again, and June superplucks him off of there, then hit another choke slam for a very close near fall, and this was just fucking banging now, this match was just fucking awesome.
- 1:41:38[UNKNOWN]: Um a little bit of sloppyness on the next sequence.
- 1:41:40[UNKNOWN]: This roll-up didn't quite look like doing shoulders for down again And they weirdly awkward set up for the front-chanceery things from human again But not a bit with the deal breaker anything and then June like powed him out of the chanceery straight into the end game Straight into a jackhammer.
- 1:41:55[UNKNOWN]: That looked awesome.
- 1:41:56[UNKNOWN]: Once again, you look kicked out
- 1:41:58[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, came back to another swing in the UK using the ropes and this was like I did was not sport on this side I was just wondering who the fuck is gonna win this match that like it was you know peaking really well the drama as far as like either guy feeling like they could win You know, then hit a German soup like soul for another close near fall crab was going in fucking wild You were went up and hit a nice diving elbow drop Finally got the I guess is what he's looking for all along right so don't really well.
- 1:42:23[UNKNOWN]: We he got cut off twice the room and finally got the diving elbow
- 1:42:27[UNKNOWN]: uh... june kicks out uma goes up and hits another another second straight diving elbow uh... second straight diving elbow hit the june cyto and then you might get i pop call that and you will end up in hit a third diving elbow but they have all of it that they like these diving elbow is your look i it's almost kind of hard to describe it if you didn't watch the match but it's like jumping off that like dropping the elbow on a side looked really really cool um...
- 1:42:54[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Jun, the only that sucked a little bit at the kick out, I'm third elbow, it looked like Jun almost pulled him up.
- 1:42:59[UNKNOWN]: I mean, yeah, look like you might almost pulled up Jun, because he was going straight to the front chance, right off the kick out, but it just looked a little weird, I guess.
- 1:43:08[UNKNOWN]: Jun, though, tried to punch his way out, but Jun would took him right back down to the gambling list or that, got the armhooked as well, and the rough kept checking, June before the force finally stopping it.
- 1:43:17[UNKNOWN]: Boston Venice, awesome match, four and a quarter stars, ease with the best match in these last two shows.
- 1:43:23[UNKNOWN]: I think for the first round overall, it's second best match I guess.
- 1:43:27[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I would have Kendall Meahar, which is your little guy, I would just slightly add a bit, which I gave the same rating.
- 1:43:32[UNKNOWN]: But yeah.
- 1:43:33[UNKNOWN]: I mean, so for, again, because I watched these shows, you know, on weird order where you heard me talking about the first night of the Odo tournament after the Dragon Gate show, but I watched the Dragon Gate show and then nights two and three, like, I'll pretty much back to back and record on them all.
- 1:43:48[UNKNOWN]: After like the Dragon Gate show and nothing get about three and a half and then all your stuff in the Odo on nights two and three, when nothing get above three and a half, I was like, damn, I never gonna see a great match again.
- 1:43:58[UNKNOWN]: Wow.
- 1:43:59[UNKNOWN]: We busted, we got, we did it everybody, we got through it, we finally saw it match again.
- 1:44:04[UNKNOWN]: Smash was fucking awesome, but yeah, night three, wait, like I said, way better than night two, only two matches, but one of them was a fucking bear, one them was good, so definitely enjoyable.
- 1:44:14[UNKNOWN]: Oh, do a tournament first round in general, besides the little law we hit on night two, but the first night was great, third night was great, so definitely enjoyed the first round's tournament.
- 1:44:23[UNKNOWN]: All right, so what's coming up this week in all Japan, again, the 16-show will probably have happened before most of you hear this, but that's tomorrow, the Shinkiba first rang, that has actually me say they announced anything else on the card, it's a good question.
- 1:44:38[UNKNOWN]: 16th and 17th.
- 1:44:42[UNKNOWN]: Okay, the 16th.
- 1:44:44[UNKNOWN]: Oh, there's a decky Suzuki versus Hio Ogao, a single
- 1:44:49[UNKNOWN]: a bunch of six main tags that aren't that interesting, and then two world matches obviously in the second round, you want the quarterfinals.
- 1:44:57[UNKNOWN]: You want on-site faces Timothy Batcher, and you want Ouyang, you basically take a second photo.
- 1:45:01[UNKNOWN]: On the 17th, which is on Thursday, also from Shinkiba, Yasutaka Yana versus Timothy Batcher, that I am not going to watch.
- 1:45:10[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, just the two Toro matches, which is Go Shiozaki versus Zion, and Kenton Miyahara versus Ryupi Honda.
- 1:45:17[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, we will see the winners, I believe it's just like, yeah, it's one versus two, three versus four.
- 1:45:22[UNKNOWN]: So, the two, one is in the 16th phase, rather than semi-finals, and the two, one is in the 17th phase, rather than semi-finals.
- 1:45:28[UNKNOWN]: So, who do I think is moving on then?
- 1:45:30[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to say, I don't think Timothy Thatcher is losing the quarterfiles, I don't think he flew all the way there to do that.
- 1:45:35[UNKNOWN]: So I'm going to say, he beats on Zai, plus on Zai, just got a title shot.
- 1:45:38[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to say, you might out of yagi, knocks off Daisuke Sekimono.
- 1:45:41[UNKNOWN]: So out of yagi versus Thatcher is once in my final.
- 1:45:44[UNKNOWN]: The other semi-final, I think it's goes shows that he has a really Honda.
- 1:45:47[UNKNOWN]: I think Honda is finally beating Kendo again.
- 1:45:49[UNKNOWN]: I guess he's beating him before.
- 1:45:50[UNKNOWN]: But he's going to beat him in this format to pay him back for beating him in the finals.
- 1:45:54[UNKNOWN]: I think she had been calm last year.
- 1:45:56[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, she was acting Honda and on Zai, I mean, that onsite.
- 1:46:01[UNKNOWN]: And Fathure and Aoyagi are my two predictions for the semifinal.
- 1:46:04[UNKNOWN]: So you already know if I was right.
- 1:46:06[UNKNOWN]: I guess actually by the time you hear one of them, but you know, you might know anyway before you listen to this.
- 1:46:10[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, the next week, we will cover that those two shows and that takes you right up to these semifinals, which is on the 22nd, so that I'll be the following week.
- 1:46:20[UNKNOWN]: Alright folks, so that does it with the Audra Pan, wait one second, I'll be back in a second with the Mari Gold Dream Star Grand Freak coverage, give me one sec.
- 1:46:28[UNKNOWN]: Alright folks, back here on this episode of Rustamoma Cossay, which I'm going to do the thing, I always do when I do these out-of-order recording episodes.
- 1:46:35[UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to work explaining again because it's like the
- 1:46:38[UNKNOWN]: fucking 7th thing you're listening to on this episode or something, even though it's the very first thing I'm recording.
- 1:46:44[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, so this is the Marigol part of the episode, which again is going to be the the last part of this week's on the road on McCassee edition.
- 1:46:53[UNKNOWN]: So the first of three shows you the talk about here, it was from this past Sunday, September 6th.
- 1:46:59[UNKNOWN]: It was night four.
- 1:47:01[UNKNOWN]: Again, not counting the day before is one night, even though it's, you know, a more after an evening show.
- 1:47:07[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, night four, Dream Star Grand Prix from the Shimizu Marine Building in Shimizu.
- 1:47:14[UNKNOWN]: This was on September 6th, so that already, attendance of 205 people.
- 1:47:20[UNKNOWN]: Only four block matches in the show, really nothing you're going to need to go on anywhere to say as we'll get into here.
- 1:47:26[UNKNOWN]: But, uh,
- 1:47:27[UNKNOWN]: You know, I feel like a lot of people are going to end up skipping the show because they released it earlier today, Tuesday, September 8th, the same day as the much bigger Shinjuku phase show that aired live.
- 1:47:37[UNKNOWN]: So I feel like this is going to be in the lost show, but I'm covering this whole former for you.
- 1:47:42[UNKNOWN]: I am a completeist in general anyway.
- 1:47:44[UNKNOWN]: So I, you know, was not going to skip it, obviously.
- 1:47:47[UNKNOWN]: So here we are covering it, even though I don't have a guest this week, and I'm just getting through all this stuff as I go here with the
- 1:47:56[UNKNOWN]: Okay, I opened up with a block A match.
- 1:48:00[UNKNOWN]: Oh, before this show started, by the way, they made the official announcement that now a Chicago or now it was before the Tuesday show I guess.
- 1:48:08[UNKNOWN]: It was a before the show aired.
- 1:48:10[UNKNOWN]: We had a made the official announcement that now is Chicago, which was drawing from the entire rest of the tournament.
- 1:48:15[UNKNOWN]: That was the big news I guess that came out after we recorded the last episode that's not even out yet as I recorded this.
- 1:48:21[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, maximum confusion.
- 1:48:23[UNKNOWN]: But yes, they, they awarded that tweet with really weirdly like they awarded it like they said she chose to withdraw it was like very passive aggressive, honestly, so like I don't know, I guess the idea is like They were basically saying yeah, she, the doctors didn't say she had the quit she quit is how it came on.
- 1:48:42[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you're going on off of auto transit anyway, right?
- 1:48:44[UNKNOWN]: So who knows really, but that's just you know, an auto transit at least it's how it came off.
- 1:48:52[UNKNOWN]: Aliyah James beat Natsumi Shouzuki in seven minutes and 35 seconds in the A-block with a diving body attack.
- 1:48:59[UNKNOWN]: James at this point became one for four points and Shouzuki at this point was one in one for two points.
- 1:49:07[UNKNOWN]: Starting out with some basic chain wrestling, nothing too special.
- 1:49:11[UNKNOWN]: Shouzuki did get a nice tight headlock.
- 1:49:14[UNKNOWN]: before the standoff, I guess.
- 1:49:16[UNKNOWN]: There's a nice little running double knees who shows you, key up against the ropes.
- 1:49:21[UNKNOWN]: James came back with a Fisherman Suplex that had good snap.
- 1:49:25[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, this had the problem.
- 1:49:27[UNKNOWN]: A lot of Marigold matches can have where the work is fine.
- 1:49:30[UNKNOWN]: Maybe even pretty good.
- 1:49:31[UNKNOWN]: But the crowd is like largely so, definitely silent.
- 1:49:35[UNKNOWN]: That's just hard to get into the match at all anyway.
- 1:49:38[UNKNOWN]: Uh, shows you can hit a nice high kick at a charging James after James had been in control for like a minute or two.
- 1:49:45[UNKNOWN]: Then got her own fisherman soup, Lex.
- 1:49:47[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the crowd did at least start clapping time allowed for her before she hit the running
- 1:49:56[UNKNOWN]: in general, right?
- 1:49:56[UNKNOWN]: Like they kind of feel they clap a lot.
- 1:49:59[UNKNOWN]: I did do a lot more clapping lady cheering, so James came back with a decent running form, back in her own two count, then hit a weirdly awkward looking kick and a jumping DDT, which I thought might be the finish, but shows you if you got her foot in the ropes, just for the ruckus count three.
- 1:50:19[UNKNOWN]: And then we got a cross body off the top from James for the pin anyway, so you know, my eyes well been the
- 1:50:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, totally fine, gentle woman's three type of match here might have been better in front of a different crowd, but you know, it's only seven and a half minutes anyway, so I don't know how much better could have been match two, she could go to be mega ton or none of she wants to mega ton excuse me, I don't know why the pure spirit you got this one wrong.
- 1:50:46[UNKNOWN]: I get why though, because who the fuck thought Megatown was going to win this?
- 1:50:48[UNKNOWN]: Megatown beat Cheek at Godo, instead I met in 18 seconds, gave her her first win, so she's now one and three, and Godo's now one and two.
- 1:50:59[UNKNOWN]: Only fucking four point matches on this show, and one of them had to be a fucking Megatown match really.
- 1:51:03[UNKNOWN]: On the other hand though, you know, with four matches down at this point, I only have to watch one more Megatown match that is fucking her tournament is over, so thank God.
- 1:51:14[UNKNOWN]: Um, the bell oh, yeah, so there was really weird.
- 1:51:17[UNKNOWN]: There was like a two count off a school boy almost immediately and the bell Like right at the start of the match and the bell rang I was like, is this a fucking house at torture match like why the bell who rang the fucking bell?
- 1:51:28[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what the fuck that was about both the rest of the book confused here.
- 1:51:31[UNKNOWN]: I don't think it was planned
- 1:51:33[UNKNOWN]: Um, they took turns running into each other with shoulder blocks.
- 1:51:36[UNKNOWN]: Neither will they went down, then they both did Megatun's stupid war pose.
- 1:51:42[UNKNOWN]: I guess that was meant to be funny.
- 1:51:44[UNKNOWN]: It wasn't, it wasn't funny.
- 1:51:46[UNKNOWN]: Uh, before Gochika knocked her down in another shoulder block, uh, Megatun came back with a couple standing splashes and then did her horrendous fucking log roll spot.
- 1:51:56[UNKNOWN]: I guess she's going to do on every, in every match now, which is like rolls on the other opponent all over their body or whatever.
- 1:52:02[UNKNOWN]: Then did a third standing splash, that got a two count.
- 1:52:06[UNKNOWN]: She missed a splash off the second rope, though, and then go cheek on one for that, and also missed truly thrilling stuff, just really thrilling stuff here, thrilling, wow.
- 1:52:17[UNKNOWN]: They traded quarter avalanches before go cheek, a missed one, and got hit with a super slow quarter avalanche from Megaton, who then got the body press off the second rope this time on her second try, that got a two count.
- 1:52:30[UNKNOWN]: She then tried to slam her much larger opponent, that when I'm for a long time, I felt like Eon's honestly before she turned it into a roll-up that go-chica didn't kick out of so much it's just kind of fucking fall over out of and it's looked horrible.
- 1:52:45[UNKNOWN]: Uh, another thing looked like looked pretty horrible was Gucci because Larry it, which Megaton somehow took like on the side of her face.
- 1:52:52[UNKNOWN]: I was like, what is going on with that Larry it?
- 1:52:54[UNKNOWN]: Uh, she hit, but Gucci got been hit a second sliding Larry it, uh, also look kind of bad.
- 1:52:59[UNKNOWN]: That got a two count.
- 1:53:01[UNKNOWN]: Gucci got tried to giant swing her.
- 1:53:03[UNKNOWN]: but Megatime just kind of ended up on top of River Pinotempt, but it looks horrible because the little thing that Gochika just kind of pulled her there on purpose is it seems he looks so fake.
- 1:53:15[UNKNOWN]: Megatime went back up the second rope.
- 1:53:17[UNKNOWN]: She starts announcing like something like Megatime super, but gets cut off by Gochika getting back up and outboring her.
- 1:53:24[UNKNOWN]: I will hand it to Isle.
- 1:53:26[UNKNOWN]: Uh, it was funny that her that that make a ton of big over dramatic moving down thing like a fucking Pokemon came back and better than the ass there.
- 1:53:34[UNKNOWN]: Especially with my go cheek, I just like got up right away and didn't even let, didn't even let it get close to finishing a nouns in the move.
- 1:53:42[UNKNOWN]: Go cheek ass slammed her off the second rope from basically a snap mirror position, then did her own over dramatic announcement of a go cheek up for us, that got a two count, but then uh, big advantages rolled her up for the pen for the first one ever tournament.
- 1:53:57[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, you just dropped job one half of your tag champions to your fucking comedy act.
- 1:54:01[UNKNOWN]: What the fuck?
- 1:54:03[UNKNOWN]: great booking guys and also got help us if this means you have to sit through a megaton ex and you know megaton and ex uh twin star telematch now no no no no buys for that uh some of these megaton matches bound to be a little better than others I guess this won't qualify as but it was still pretty fucking bad unless you love seeing uh people hit and miss like fucking simple splashes and corner avalanches uh and she's had worse matches than I guess
- 1:54:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, one in one in three quarters is what I gave this, you know.
- 1:54:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so just not just not a just not a not a great not a great Matt training up not just but again, she's had worse matches.
- 1:54:48[UNKNOWN]: That's the fall I can say she's had worse she has had worse matches and she will have worse matches.
- 1:54:53[UNKNOWN]: The next match, Chiyaki defeated Mila Smith with a power bomb in 7 minutes and 11 seconds.
- 1:54:59[UNKNOWN]: This was in Block B.
- 1:55:01[UNKNOWN]: So that was Chiyaki's first wedding.
- 1:55:02[UNKNOWN]: She's not 1 and 2.
- 1:55:03[UNKNOWN]: While Mila that was her first loss.
- 1:55:05[UNKNOWN]: She's not 1 and 1.
- 1:55:06[UNKNOWN]: Why does the opening to Chiyaki's theme song?
- 1:55:10[UNKNOWN]: sound exactly like my E-Watani's.
- 1:55:12[UNKNOWN]: It has that same dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, like guitar riff.
- 1:55:15[UNKNOWN]: Exactly the same.
- 1:55:16[UNKNOWN]: Go listen to the two songs back to back.
- 1:55:18[UNKNOWN]: They sound the opening sounds exactly the same.
- 1:55:20[UNKNOWN]: It falls me every time.
- 1:55:21[UNKNOWN]: I was like, oh, I have to skip this, I guess, because my E-Watani is coming up for a tag or whatever.
- 1:55:25[UNKNOWN]: But like, no, this was my reason the main event tag that I'm not going to cover.
- 1:55:30[UNKNOWN]: Like, this was, uh, I don't cover the tags.
- 1:55:33[UNKNOWN]: But this was like a fucking, um, there was Jackie coming up for a fucking man.
- 1:55:37[UNKNOWN]: I thought I had to skip it.
- 1:55:39[UNKNOWN]: And I thought because I thought Maya was coming out.
- 1:55:40[UNKNOWN]: So like concept one of the marigolds stands to explain to me why they like, do they have the same opening lifting song on purpose?
- 1:55:45[UNKNOWN]: Is it like a joke by Cheyaki or something?
- 1:55:48[UNKNOWN]: Or is it like just a complete coincidence?
- 1:55:50[UNKNOWN]: I don't, it's really weird either way.
- 1:55:52[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, Chiyaki and Mila started by the test of strength.
- 1:55:55[UNKNOWN]: Chiyaki actually actually held her own in it, and that ended in a stalemate.
- 1:55:59[UNKNOWN]: I was surprised that, you know, Mila looks like a very powerful woman.
- 1:56:02[UNKNOWN]: I thought she was going to overpower her, but no, Chiyaki was able to hold her own there.
- 1:56:06[UNKNOWN]: Chiyaki then got Mila and her weird claw thing up against the ropes for the rest of me to make her break it.
- 1:56:12[UNKNOWN]: uh, Miele came back with a very hard chopping in the ropes, then got a lemongrass draw cradle for a two count, uh, Chiyaki pulled her down by her hair though after telling her to hit the ropes because she's a bad lady and all, then did the face washes which sent her to the floor, Miele though pulled her off her feet from there and then did a nice little axe kick to her from the outside of the apron,
- 1:56:33[UNKNOWN]: The two of them created form shots out there before Chiyaki raked her eyes But Milla blocked a suplex attempt and then hit her own front suplex on the floor Back in the ring though Chiyaki came back with a power slam Catching her running off the ropes.
- 1:56:47[UNKNOWN]: That was just for the five-minute call She didn't ran right into a spine buster from Milla though.
- 1:56:52[UNKNOWN]: Then they did this weird spot.
- 1:56:53[UNKNOWN]: This is the finish actually.
- 1:56:55[UNKNOWN]: So Milla I guess was like they were on she was in the second rope.
- 1:56:59[UNKNOWN]: I guess the idea was she was trying a runna
- 1:57:03[UNKNOWN]: But it looked like she basically just threw her own crotch into Chiyaki's face, for Chiyaki to hit a power bomb on her, and that's just for Chiyaki, and I also got to the pen.
- 1:57:11[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know, weird finish.
- 1:57:13[UNKNOWN]: I didn't think I looked at it all, but especially for Chiyaki, you know, I normally don't like.
- 1:57:18[UNKNOWN]: I thought this was a fine little match.
- 1:57:20[UNKNOWN]: No, another gentle woman's three.
- 1:57:21[UNKNOWN]: Might even be in a corner if I didn't take points off of the weird finish.
- 1:57:25[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 1:57:26[UNKNOWN]: And the final block match, and again, you can see everything on 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7
- 1:57:56[UNKNOWN]: So Ray attacked co-key issues, doing her pose in the ring, with a dropkick for the bell, that immediately sent her to the floor where she hit her with her whip, and then also centurnes and shares.
- 1:58:08[UNKNOWN]: It was a little hard to see what was going on on the outside of the single cam and the fans standing in the way, so it was kind of a relief when she rolled her back in, finally.
- 1:58:17[UNKNOWN]: Seto then went to work on her arm back in the ring.
- 1:58:19[UNKNOWN]: She would be like lifted her up because she'd do a little take down and put it right back on the mat.
- 1:58:24[UNKNOWN]: I was like, girl, she's she was on you there.
- 1:58:26[UNKNOWN]: We picked her up.
- 1:58:27[UNKNOWN]: What was the point of that?
- 1:58:29[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, seto then went for a cross armbreaker.
- 1:58:31[UNKNOWN]: Coke was able to scramble the ropes to break before a nice running drop kick up against the ropes for a two count.
- 1:58:38[UNKNOWN]: Coke finally got her standing cross body, which was really her first bit of
- 1:58:45[UNKNOWN]: See, then hey, a pair of running boots, the face, but set toe.
- 1:58:50[UNKNOWN]: blocked a front soup box by me taking her back down to the mat by the arm again.
- 1:58:54[UNKNOWN]: That was a good little take down.
- 1:58:56[UNKNOWN]: Then she dropped it to the arm as well and covered for two.
- 1:58:58[UNKNOWN]: And you know, pretty good arm selling by Koki.
- 1:59:01[UNKNOWN]: Doing a good job showing she's struggling on the pain.
- 1:59:03[UNKNOWN]: She didn't hit a couple of weak looking forearms with the bad arm.
- 1:59:06[UNKNOWN]: And set to her own harder forearms.
- 1:59:08[UNKNOWN]: Then blocked another one by Koki and went right back at the arm again.
- 1:59:12[UNKNOWN]: But Koki is able to knock her away and finally get the front soup box you've been looking for earlier.
- 1:59:19[UNKNOWN]: reach out and grab with her legs of Koki's arm straight to a food you want arm bar.
- 1:59:25[UNKNOWN]: I really like that set up because you think that set those down on the mass still selling the suplex for just like grab it on real legs on nowhere.
- 1:59:31[UNKNOWN]: It just looked really good.
- 1:59:33[UNKNOWN]: She tried to pull back on Koki's other arm for the full stretch and embarrassed to get it extended, which Koki again sold really well.
- 1:59:40[UNKNOWN]: This is where I was like, okay, I think the selling in this entire promotion has gotten quite a bit better of late.
- 1:59:46[UNKNOWN]: It makes me wonder if it's something the new trainer they brought on a few months ago, she would decondo is a veteran Japanese wrestler.
- 1:59:53[UNKNOWN]: Maybe that's something he's been working with them on because I just feel like the selling in this company has gotten up and not.
- 1:59:57[UNKNOWN]: So just an observation I made.
- 2:00:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Koki, you know, flailing away here, selling this arm
- 2:00:12[UNKNOWN]: SETO got a nice one-legged dropkick for a two-count, but then ran right into her larger opponent's arms for a power slam.
- 2:00:21[UNKNOWN]: SETO got back up immediately though, and dropkick to again for a two-count.
- 2:00:25[UNKNOWN]: She kept trying a ringmaker spin set up into something.
- 2:00:28[UNKNOWN]: I can't remember what she'd does off the ringmaker's spin, actually, but Kogi counted it though, nicely into a back top suplex.
- 2:00:35[UNKNOWN]: When she covered though, I said to her at the count of one, turned it into a crucifix pen instead, so like a crucifix cut back, basically.
- 2:00:43[UNKNOWN]: That was a super close near fall.
- 2:00:44[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was going to be it for a second.
- 2:00:45[UNKNOWN]: Honestly, that was a good 2.9.
- 2:00:48[UNKNOWN]: SETTO, though, A.A. Australian standing dropkick from Kogi.
- 2:00:51[UNKNOWN]: Now,
- 2:00:52[UNKNOWN]: Koki tried to lift her here for a Canadian backbreak with slam.
- 2:00:56[UNKNOWN]: I thought at first it was just like psychology and the match She had to like couldn't lift her up, but then just the way she re-adjusted or just looked right back up Actually, I think now whether they just they just kind of fucked up the left.
- 2:01:05[UNKNOWN]: So either way kind of worked I guess the story of the match was just kind of you know I don't think that for there going boy, but they just screwed up.
- 2:01:11[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Koki then hit it running boot after that for the pen
- 2:01:13[UNKNOWN]: uh good match never quite got to great or even very good so you know three and a half star match for me Definitely the best thing on this show and really the only thing I gave even a mild recommendation If you're not being a complete Australian thing really though this whole this whole show is capable I'll get everything's over ten minutes just kind of felt like the kind of show where it's like yep We're having some matches in this tournament, but we don't really care that much about this show so
- 2:01:36[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, very skippable show.
- 2:01:38[UNKNOWN]: Again, co-givers is set out the only thing I would really recommend it all.
- 2:01:43[UNKNOWN]: Good match between half-star match, rest of it, very skippable.
- 2:01:45[UNKNOWN]: Alright, so we're back in a sec with the next show on this tournament from the Shinjuku phase.
- 2:01:51[UNKNOWN]: So give me one sec.
- 2:01:52[UNKNOWN]: All right, folks, back here, peak behind the curtain, I guess, recording this second Marigold part the same day as the first part, since they released that VOD show early Tuesday morning and then the Shinjuku phase show where it lives.
- 2:02:06[UNKNOWN]: And then the last part, the last Marigold thing we will not record until the very end of the
- 2:02:12[UNKNOWN]: into the very, like, part of the last time of a court period because the show takes place Saturday, nine, 12.
- 2:02:16[UNKNOWN]: It's not scheduled to go up until Monday, nine, 14, which I talked about the last episode of the VOD things as a bomber.
- 2:02:22[UNKNOWN]: Like, that's really just an annoying part of uh, you know, doing these uh, doing this, coming this form on the podcast.
- 2:02:28[UNKNOWN]: Like, there's a Sunday,
- 2:02:33[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't go, Nicole, it's just coming in here and making a face because you have to go on to the under the microphone like a limbo bar.
- 2:02:40[UNKNOWN]: The Sunday 9-13 show doesn't go live.
- 2:02:44[UNKNOWN]: I just go up on the service until the 9-15 I think, so that won't get covered till next week with, uh, I guess, Eric can cover it with me too.
- 2:02:52[UNKNOWN]: It's a good thing.
- 2:02:53[UNKNOWN]: If he's less than or less, hold it now.
- 2:02:54[UNKNOWN]: Now we know he's covering that.
- 2:02:56[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, we're going to talk about Marigold here.
- 2:02:59[UNKNOWN]: This show, night five from Tuesday, September 8th, Eshen Juku Face, was a heck of a show.
- 2:03:07[UNKNOWN]: Definitely the best, I mean, the best show they've done this tour so far by a mile actually.
- 2:03:12[UNKNOWN]: I can keep my little nerdy spreadsheet where I keep like a list of the average star ratings for each night, and the 3.63 for this show, easily first place blows away second place, which was the night show from Osaka at 3.10 and just didn't have anything bad on the show at all, or even the other shows like the Corrican had a lot of really good stuff too, and actually peat higher than the show, but the Corrican had some road lows too, whereas this showed in not have any lows,
- 2:03:37[UNKNOWN]: I didn't have a mega ton of match strike and things down didn't have any block D matches actually which is easy to work the you know the worst block I think pretty I think it's though it.
- 2:03:45[UNKNOWN]: Well, I'd be might be lower actually now.
- 2:03:48[UNKNOWN]: D is now lower But yeah, my average rating.
- 2:03:50[UNKNOWN]: I mean, but yeah, this was a hell of a show You know all the all the more worked hard.
- 2:03:55[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if they were working extra hard just because it was their final Shinjuku face show ever I mean you could tell them it a lot to like me go on.
- 2:04:01[UNKNOWN]: I was especially in a post match promo But yeah, all the girls worked hard
- 2:04:06[UNKNOWN]: The crowd was a little better than that your typical marigold crowd, like they're actually into everything pretty audibly, which you know, the crowd being not in the staff is like probably my number one marigold complaint, so that helped a lot.
- 2:04:17[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, 388 people are announced here, it did look pretty full.
- 2:04:20[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, if they're final, they're final shows and you could face because this fucking building closes the end, but it's not that I still can not believe.
- 2:04:27[UNKNOWN]: I will never go another show of Shinjuku face.
- 2:04:29[UNKNOWN]: I mean, we'll have plenty of time to cover that, I guess, in the coming weeks before the, because a lot of the promotions still got to run the last show there, but I still cannot believe this is my last show of Shinjuku face.
- 2:04:40[UNKNOWN]: So Cole keeps walking and now, okay, I left your phone here.
- 2:04:42[UNKNOWN]: You want to say anything in the audience sweetheart?
- 2:04:44[UNKNOWN]: Now, no, to the chicken, like I don't want to say anything to these people.
- 2:04:48[UNKNOWN]: That's, that's one of the cool things to everybody.
- 2:04:51[UNKNOWN]: Okay, so not just in some of you, the opener, block C, like the relationship or have a really funny idea, like you didn't see the visual, just give a little head shake like, wow, I wanna do that.
- 2:05:04[UNKNOWN]: Okay, did I load up the fucking results?
- 2:05:07[UNKNOWN]: Or did I not do that?
- 2:05:08[UNKNOWN]: Like a goddamn moron?
- 2:05:10[UNKNOWN]: Okay, let's do that now.
- 2:05:13[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, to show open up with a C block match.
- 2:05:17[UNKNOWN]: which was Chichi defeating Hummingbird and, as I scroll for time, I'll try to load it.
- 2:05:23[UNKNOWN]: Chichi being Hummingbird in eight minutes and 20 seconds, that was Chichi's first win.
- 2:05:27[UNKNOWN]: So she's now one and two.
- 2:05:29[UNKNOWN]: It also dropped Hummingbird to one and two.
- 2:05:31[UNKNOWN]: So Hummingbird charged Chichi at the bell.
- 2:05:34[UNKNOWN]: She dropped Kicked her backward into the corner and hit repeated forms before getting a nice Lucha arm drag off the ropes and then a seated drop kick.
- 2:05:44[UNKNOWN]: She covered, but she bridged out of one, and then just ran over this huge boot to the face that was so awesome as somebody mentioned me on fucking discord and thing made noise.
- 2:05:53[UNKNOWN]: Amateur hour, everybody.
- 2:05:55[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry.
- 2:05:55[UNKNOWN]: This is what happens when I do things so low.
- 2:05:57[UNKNOWN]: You at the damn computer.
- 2:05:59[UNKNOWN]: They had Gigi, this huge boot to the face.
- 2:06:03[UNKNOWN]: She is such a bad ass that is so funny that she's a Barbie theme dress.
- 2:06:08[UNKNOWN]: Maybe it's actually fending, but it's really funny.
- 2:06:11[UNKNOWN]: Gigi hits three more running boots to the face, the second of which looked especially rural.
- 2:06:16[UNKNOWN]: she gets the two count off of that.
- 2:06:18[UNKNOWN]: She then did her delayed leg drop, which to be honest never looks or especially sounds that satisfying to me, but I guess the idea right is more to show up how flexible she is, and I guess also to be like, look at my five isn't it hot, which you're valid or I see you.
- 2:06:34[UNKNOWN]: uh, she goes from that to a chin lock, which is not exactly building Simon, but they go from that to trading hard form shots, which got things right back on track, and then hummingbird got a nice little satellite head scissors.
- 2:06:45[UNKNOWN]: She then got Chichi in this wacky stretch with her legs across the back of her neck that looked pretty painful, actually, and a forced Chichi to make the ropes to break.
- 2:06:54[UNKNOWN]: They traded more form shots, but were cheat sheet just kicked or straight down to the mat with another big boot again.
- 2:06:59[UNKNOWN]: Hummingbird chapter hard as you got the five minute call.
- 2:07:04[UNKNOWN]: And now we're trading boots and chops, so hummingbird chopping and cheat sheet booting.
- 2:07:08[UNKNOWN]: Hummingbird hit a series of chops before cheat sheet came back with another boot, which the bird took a great flying bump for.
- 2:07:15[UNKNOWN]: Cheechy Slapter hard in the face, having bird duck to high kick, a hair, own high kick, followed by spinning kick to her and a seated position for a close near fall, and this is just really bangin' at this point.
- 2:07:26[UNKNOWN]: Cheechy came back with yet another running boot, and then a northern light suplex hole for a two-count.
- 2:07:32[UNKNOWN]: She went for a backdrop suplex, but hummingbird reversed her cradle for two, then got another light tripped cradle.
- 2:07:38[UNKNOWN]: I think like actually a European clutch, like falling backwards, like that doesn't.
- 2:07:42[UNKNOWN]: That got even closer near fall.
- 2:07:43[UNKNOWN]: actually just started pounding on GG from a mount position, but that gave GG the chance to reverse render a half crab, but hummingbird was able to crawl the ropes pretty quick.
- 2:07:53[UNKNOWN]: GG pulled it off the ropes into another half crab, hummingbird countered that into another cradle for a two count, but GG hit a low super kick to the face and then a backdropsuit flux for the pad, a big backdropsuit flux.
- 2:08:04[UNKNOWN]: Really good match.
- 2:08:06[UNKNOWN]: This was more the GG I expected to see in Osaka that we didn't really say,
- 2:08:10[UNKNOWN]: And these two just beat the piss out of each other here, I am rapidly becoming a bigger fan of hummingbirds in this tournament.
- 2:08:16[UNKNOWN]: Like, I didn't really think much of her before this, but she has impressed me.
- 2:08:21[UNKNOWN]: She's really doing the valiant, but undersized underdog thing very well.
- 2:08:25[UNKNOWN]: So three and three quarters, enjoy this match of time, and again, hummingbird is making a positive impression.
- 2:08:31[UNKNOWN]: Next match in block C also, this was my soccer ride, defeating Shoko Koshino in 750 and this STF.
- 2:08:39[UNKNOWN]: So soccer ride moved to 211 and Shoko dropped in 1 and 2.
- 2:08:43[UNKNOWN]: Wasn't the most exciting start to the match?
- 2:08:45[UNKNOWN]: They just kind of kicked that each other a bit before Shoko got a running back elbow in the corner, followed by a bulldog and then a seated drop kick, she went from that straight to a rear chin lock though and took my bit to crawl the ropes to breaks though.
- 2:08:56[UNKNOWN]: You know, a chin lock always crowns a match to a hole, that's for sure.
- 2:09:00[UNKNOWN]: They traded hard forms the chest though, which got, again, just like in the last match, got things back on track.
- 2:09:05[UNKNOWN]: I was a little surprised, Shoko, in particular, was able to hang in there with the forum shots, with my sacrifice, always a very hardheader, especially these days.
- 2:09:14[UNKNOWN]: After some often from my Shoko dodged a running boot in the corner and hit a missile drop kick off the top.
- 2:09:20[UNKNOWN]: She followed up with a front suplex for a two count.
- 2:09:30[UNKNOWN]: And me they got cradle by my excuse me for a two count a needle spot But then my runs right into a big layer from show go that look good that got her a two count Shoko and turn though ran right into a big boot from my for another two count my then hit her little arm fat STO thing and locked in the STF and Shoko had to tap
- 2:09:51[UNKNOWN]: Pretty good not much more than that, but like Shoko at least manage not to look totally out of place in this match the way she has other times in her Marigo career, you know, sort of in this form in general.
- 2:10:02[UNKNOWN]: This was her best match though at three in a quarter, which is what I gave it by the way three in a quarter, but you know, how did two matches I have it like
- 2:10:09[UNKNOWN]: I have, actually, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 2:10:26[UNKNOWN]: Up next, the match of the night, which was Natsumi Shouzuki, the two bosses match, I think.
- 2:10:34[UNKNOWN]: Yes, she did.
- 2:10:35[UNKNOWN]: Losing to me some at Siri and 927 with the MDK.
- 2:10:39[UNKNOWN]: My Siri goes to one one and one.
- 2:10:41[UNKNOWN]: This was their first one.
- 2:10:42[UNKNOWN]: She's asked three points, but Shouzuki drops to one and two.
- 2:10:46[UNKNOWN]: So, starting out with some nice high speed grappling, before Natsumi Shouzuki gets her in a
- 2:10:55[UNKNOWN]: Natsumi stayed on her arm from there, she kicked in against the ropes, then briefly got her into a Fujiwara arm bar before Misa had another rope break, so Natsumi just stretches against the ropes now.
- 2:11:06[UNKNOWN]: Misa tried to elbow her way away from Natsumi back in the center of the ring, so Natsumi just calmly caught her arm and took her straight back down to the Fujiwara again forcing her to go over the ropes.
- 2:11:26[UNKNOWN]: But you can just hear the way the crowd reacted, they were just very impressed with that.
- 2:11:30[UNKNOWN]: Not to me, then hit this awesome little running knee to the arm, with Mesa up against the ropes, then kick the rope into arm for good measure, very good stuff.
- 2:11:39[UNKNOWN]: Although, as Paul and I talked about the last episode, it's always fine to me that Mesa is supposed to be a heel, just like, I don't know, just like, I can be talking about right now, and I think about it.
- 2:11:46[UNKNOWN]: Mesa, at the same thing here, where it's like not to me shows you, he's the aggressor here, and it's like, Mesa, Mesa is like the plucky underdog heel, yes, it's just kind of funny.
- 2:11:55[UNKNOWN]: she will get more aggressive later though.
- 2:11:57[UNKNOWN]: Misa finally got a dropkick and then a pretty stiff looking kick to the head of Natsumi, then mounted her in the counter honor, which again, a little more aggressive, but the good thing is she was pounding but still remembered to sell the yarn.
- 2:12:09[UNKNOWN]: She then switched to stops instead because the arm wasn't really doing anything for.
- 2:12:13[UNKNOWN]: Natsumi, though, grabbed it by the hair and gave her this very hard sounding leg kick, then hit this crazy hearty knee in the face for
- 2:12:20[UNKNOWN]: Mesa came back with a standing double stomp, then a big running single leg drop kick for a two count, just for the five-minute call and this match is already a fucking bear.
- 2:12:28[UNKNOWN]: They traded some more stiff kicks to the face, both goals went down and gave us a standing 10 count.
- 2:12:33[UNKNOWN]: They of course beat the count, started trading more hard forms, and then that's when we rocked or we'd need to the face, but we're getting a fisherman's two-plex hole for a two count.
- 2:12:41[UNKNOWN]: That's when we then hit a running double-need somato for another close near fall, somato, excuse me.
- 2:12:47[UNKNOWN]: She didn't want to up top and missed her double sound from there and Misa answered with a kind of weak writing big boot, especially next to all the other strikes in this match, but that's me right back up anyway though, cut her off of the top rope, Misa raped her eyes as in her back down with a mat, not to me ducked whatever she was going for, only a turn right around to a bushyaku, knee from Misa, that looks great.
- 2:13:06[UNKNOWN]: Mesa then gave her a missile drop, pick up the top for a two count.
- 2:13:09[UNKNOWN]: She another step kicked and not some he's face followed by another bushyaku knee, but not some he just barely kicked out.
- 2:13:16[UNKNOWN]: So Mesa got her cross like brainbuster, the MDK, and that was fine enough for the pen.
- 2:13:20[UNKNOWN]: This fucking raft, super stiff, all action.
- 2:13:24[UNKNOWN]: Maybe if you wanted Nick Pekka to say the arm work from the start of the match, didn't really go anywhere.
- 2:13:29[UNKNOWN]: Although to a credit Mesa, then still remember to sell it in the post batch, which, okay, that was a good, good sign girl.
- 2:13:34[UNKNOWN]: Our good touch girl.
- 2:13:35[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I love this match.
- 2:13:37[UNKNOWN]: I think me's even got to let dust it over or something, you know, that you'd see a little body, which tells you how hard they were working, how stiff they were working.
- 2:13:44[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, two ladies, working staff will always, you know, that's a weird sentence.
- 2:13:49[UNKNOWN]: Two ladies, working staff will, where I was going, I'm going to be a weird sentence.
- 2:13:52[UNKNOWN]: Two ladies, working staff always is something I enjoy watching.
- 2:13:55[UNKNOWN]: How about that?
- 2:13:56[UNKNOWN]: Can't, can't make any double on time.
- 2:13:57[UNKNOWN]: Just now.
- 2:13:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, four stars.
- 2:14:00[UNKNOWN]: Awesome fucking match.
- 2:14:01[UNKNOWN]: Like I said, match of the night.
- 2:14:02[UNKNOWN]: Next block match was League C. Diana strong with the upset win over Victoria Yuzuki in 1327 with the avalanche Polish game.
- 2:14:13[UNKNOWN]: So strong went to two and two and Yuzuki that was her very first loss of the tournament.
- 2:14:17[UNKNOWN]: She's now three and one.
- 2:14:19[UNKNOWN]: We started out with a lot of locking up and screaming.
- 2:14:22[UNKNOWN]: Yuzuki is so funny.
- 2:14:24[UNKNOWN]: So she gets back to the ropes twice.
- 2:14:25[UNKNOWN]: The second time, though she does a standing switch on Diana when Diana pushed her to the ropes.
- 2:14:30[UNKNOWN]: And despite the fact that they had obviously been dominating by this point, I mean, all I did was walk up and down, I kept winning that, music doesn't give a shit.
- 2:14:37[UNKNOWN]: She's like, does it standing so much, fucking hit through the chest of the forearms that given her a clean break, and that immediately starts mocking Diana's propensity for flexing constantly.
- 2:14:45[UNKNOWN]: She's like, yeah, look at me, and I'm strong, too.
- 2:14:47[UNKNOWN]: She's such a little asshole, and she's just real so much, I love Victoria, she's so much.
- 2:14:52[UNKNOWN]: Diane is an understandly pest.
- 2:14:54[UNKNOWN]: She knocks her down with a shoulder block as she stumps on and then mounts an elbows her before getting her a big backbreaker and putting her in a Boston crab.
- 2:15:03[UNKNOWN]: Usually, he's selling as usual is top notch here, both for the backbreaker and in the crab, where she crawls over to make the robes.
- 2:15:10[UNKNOWN]: Usagi comes back with a nice dropkick, but then runs right in a day on his arms for kind of awkward looking slam back out of a two count But use it the fires right back with a great judo throw then gets your gets her a big dropkick today and face up against the ropes for a near fall very very not to play style But you know, she's not bonding more we used to be a blonde demon just like poigas
- 2:15:33[UNKNOWN]: Then I lost my place, I'm sorry, then I had to hit some elbow to the chest before using a key, cotter arm, and hit a normal two flex for two just for the five minute call, but they end of then cut it off on the top rope before simply throwing it off in there.
- 2:15:47[UNKNOWN]: I guess like a deadly dry, isn't that the call that?
- 2:15:50[UNKNOWN]: Always call that on the SmackDown Games at least.
- 2:15:52[UNKNOWN]: She landed pretty hard off of that, too.
- 2:15:55[UNKNOWN]: She didn't get, say, backdrops, suplex, that user key lands directly on her neck for, leaning to another near fall, Diana gets her bossing crab back on, using to really ask the store all this time, but does eventually make the ropes a second time, Diana then hits a delayed front slam, and then her strangely not impactful leader bomb for a two count, which I think I talked about on the last episode, she really should get a new signature move, because you know, it's not quite her finisher, but it's like her big, one of her big set of moves and just doesn't look good.
- 2:16:23[UNKNOWN]: Uh, use a P-take stand down by your arm when she runs in looking for a laria and turns it into a cross face, for kind of moving around the mat and switching like a stretch on the mat.
- 2:16:32[UNKNOWN]: She eventually gets her leg hooked as well, I think is her signature submission.
- 2:16:35[UNKNOWN]: But for Diana, she's finally able to make the ropes.
- 2:16:38[UNKNOWN]: Although she kind of had her foot on it before the rep's actually gave her the break.
- 2:16:42[UNKNOWN]: I guess it wasn't enough for rope break for Reft Tommy.
- 2:16:45[UNKNOWN]: And before her foot was like barely touching.
- 2:16:47[UNKNOWN]: So somebody's Japanese reps are very, uh,
- 2:16:52[UNKNOWN]: Uh, user key, then hits two straight superkicks, but they aren't just barely kicked out right for the 10 minute call, uh, they aren't other versus the package German into a cradle for own near fall, then hits three straight knees of the face, well, hold on, use these rest.
- 2:17:06[UNKNOWN]: We're so pretty brutal, user key just barely kicks out.
- 2:17:09[UNKNOWN]: This match really got to the this point.
- 2:17:11[UNKNOWN]: They aren't tries to power user the up and gets a big delay to 2x on the second try again, musicy just barely kicks out.
- 2:17:18[UNKNOWN]: They trade some more super close near falls off of crales, where they aren't a hitter, big defy driver, the Polish game.
- 2:17:24[UNKNOWN]: Just have to be 3 minute remaining call, but somehow, musicy still kicks out, which the crowd started channeling for a big after that.
- 2:17:30[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Diana runs her back in the corner, lifts her up the top rope at two minutes left.
- 2:17:35[UNKNOWN]: I'm starting to think like, okay, there's too long time to be doing this girl, but she gets her honor shoulders with a super death value driver, the Adelange Polus game.
- 2:17:44[UNKNOWN]: She heads it, and I get sure of the pen.
- 2:17:46[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I guess there's a fire alarm going off or something in the building by the way, like a harmonica.
- 2:17:50[UNKNOWN]: It sounded like, was playing, I was like, what is going on?
- 2:17:53[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, got the pen.
- 2:17:54[UNKNOWN]: Harmonica started playing for Diana.
- 2:17:56[UNKNOWN]: uh, really good match.
- 2:17:58[UNKNOWN]: I thought this was like again, a series of really good matches here.
- 2:18:01[UNKNOWN]: This is whether the best part of the show ends in my opinion, the next matches are good, they're not quite this good.
- 2:18:06[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this, this one, I, I thought about four stars on.
- 2:18:09[UNKNOWN]: There were a few enough little moments.
- 2:18:11[UNKNOWN]: I didn't love that it was super close.
- 2:18:12[UNKNOWN]: I went three and three quarters.
- 2:18:13[UNKNOWN]: I went about three and three quarters plus, uh, but really good match.
- 2:18:18[UNKNOWN]: And Diana made the, I want the belt motion.
- 2:18:20[UNKNOWN]: So I suspect she'll be getting a white
- 2:18:26[UNKNOWN]: Next match in League B, myorotani beat Mela Smith in 10-05 with a small package.
- 2:18:32[UNKNOWN]: So my use stays on the feed, she is 3-0 now, while Mela goes to 1-2.
- 2:18:35[UNKNOWN]: They started out trading arm ringers before Mela impressed the crowd doing a full flip using the ropes to try to reverse it.
- 2:18:45[UNKNOWN]: She ends up in a side headlock from myor anyway though, but she pushes her out and then gets arm dragged.
- 2:18:50[UNKNOWN]: My then try to run up, but Mela did not, is it Mela and my saying I run to say smit.
- 2:18:55[UNKNOWN]: Smit does not go over for it well at all, unfortunately.
- 2:18:59[UNKNOWN]: Then it gives me a lot of right, Mela's smit, I don't know.
- 2:19:02[UNKNOWN]: There's no answer for Mela on this show, so we'll be able to like know what the fuck they were saying.
- 2:19:07[UNKNOWN]: It's still centered on the floor though, where Mela tries to dive, but smit gets out of the way, and Mela just wipes out, you know, the run I'm talking about, the run was not very good.
- 2:19:16[UNKNOWN]: That's why I was like, it still gets to the floor.
- 2:19:18[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, Amelia gets out of the way of the dive that Maya tries and Maya just wipes out two of the ring side of the sentence instead.
- 2:19:24[UNKNOWN]: Amelia sends her back first in the apron and then batch up, suplexes around the apron, if we're heading back and covering only gets a one count off it though, Amelia follows up at a running knee and then a face lost in the corner for pulling her up and hitting her front suplex for a two count.
- 2:19:38[UNKNOWN]: We unfortunately then got a kind of awkward spot where Maya just like,
- 2:19:42[UNKNOWN]: fell off her for her while she had her for the gory special position.
- 2:19:45[UNKNOWN]: I think she was supposed to try to create a lot of it I don't think Milo is supposed to hit her move there because he went for a later and got it But it just didn't look though and everything we got it for but they they covered up for it I mean they went to the cradle and and got a two couch move down So not not exaggerating that
- 2:19:59[UNKNOWN]: They started training forms, which, okay, I know it's kind of a puro-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-gy-
- 2:20:15[UNKNOWN]: Maya, who had a soccer ball kick to me, was back, then did a second, even harder one when the crowd started changing Moe Kai.
- 2:20:22[UNKNOWN]: They chained that again, but this is the third time Maya tries it, Meela blocked it, which is pretty smart in her bark, because it's like, you know, she literally knew it was coming.
- 2:20:30[UNKNOWN]: The crowd was telling them, telling her to do it again.
- 2:20:32[UNKNOWN]: I guess she doesn't know what that means from Japanese, I guess she figured out the pattern.
- 2:20:36[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, she takes Mario down with a nice dragon's crew off of that when she caught her leg just for five minute call.
- 2:20:42[UNKNOWN]: Mario comes back with a nice snap German, Mila no sells it and dumps Mario on her head with her own German, Mario gets right back up to and they trade superkicks and both girls go down.
- 2:20:52[UNKNOWN]: Mario hits a frog splash off the top a little later, but Mila kicks out of two, Mario goes to be dragon's superlikes, but Mila elbows out of it.
- 2:20:59[UNKNOWN]: She throws Mario into the ropes and hits a nice spine buster off of there, like a rebound spine buster I guess.
- 2:21:04[UNKNOWN]: for getting a big new to the face for a two count.
- 2:21:08[UNKNOWN]: Me and the falls up with some more clobbing blows and then gets, I guess, the move she was trying for earlier when she had my up in the core special position sort of like a job breaker from there.
- 2:21:16[UNKNOWN]: I think that might move my head like a signature move name.
- 2:21:20[UNKNOWN]: Who used to do that?
- 2:21:21[UNKNOWN]: Widows Peak, right?
- 2:21:23[UNKNOWN]: It was Victoria's move and WWE.
- 2:21:25[UNKNOWN]: I think that's it.
- 2:21:26[UNKNOWN]: How am I going to rank off with this stuff?
- 2:21:28[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, like a fucking WWE Diva move from like 25 years ago.
- 2:21:34[UNKNOWN]: My who gets your foot on the ropes to stop the pen.
- 2:21:38[UNKNOWN]: So Mela after the job for the Widows Peak.
- 2:21:41[UNKNOWN]: uh, but Mela pulled her into the middle and keep trying to cover her again, which that never works girl.
- 2:21:47[UNKNOWN]: It didn't work for her either.
- 2:21:48[UNKNOWN]: And she was doing a little too much like hold my hair and disbelief like NXT S acting.
- 2:21:53[UNKNOWN]: Also, I think Victoria used to do that, right?
- 2:21:55[UNKNOWN]: So, maybe it all comes full circle.
- 2:21:56[UNKNOWN]: She was possessed by the spirit of Victoria after doing the widow's pig.
- 2:22:01[UNKNOWN]: But she did move on pretty quick.
- 2:22:02[UNKNOWN]: And then after hitting a few forums, she ran right to a superkick from Mario straight to the cradle to give Mario the pen.
- 2:22:08[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if I really liked that finish to be honest.
- 2:22:10[UNKNOWN]: It was like, I don't know where in a bad way, I think.
- 2:22:12[UNKNOWN]: But, you know, the match was good overall.
- 2:22:14[UNKNOWN]: Some little spots didn't look great, but, you know, my or your Tony can kind of carry just about anybody, to at least a three-and-a-half star match.
- 2:22:21[UNKNOWN]: And that's what you did here, which was three-and-a-half.
- 2:22:24[UNKNOWN]: So, good match.
- 2:22:25[UNKNOWN]: Made event, Mikuado, reading Arena Yavanoca and Block A in 1040 with a status class.
- 2:22:32[UNKNOWN]: So that was the World Champion's first win that got Miku to 1-1 and 1.
- 2:22:37[UNKNOWN]: She's now 3 points, but it was also a really Yavanoca's first loss, there's now 2-1-1.
- 2:22:42[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, the standing is kind of gave away when they saw if you said anything.
- 2:22:45[UNKNOWN]: Yavanoca was starting out 3-0 so.
- 2:22:48[UNKNOWN]: But you know, that's not a big critique of it that happens in tournaments.
- 2:22:52[UNKNOWN]: So this started out with some basic chain wrestling stuff, then they just kind of ran back and forth a bit before arena nearly fell down, given her a big boot.
- 2:23:02[UNKNOWN]: She didn't give her a running knee in the corner, if she shook her acid or face, and then got a Bronco Buster, which Mikuatu did not appear to be a fan, taking that Bronco Buster, like some girls really turned their face out of the way Miku was like, get me away from this woman's crush.
- 2:23:17[UNKNOWN]: Arina then does a unique cover.
- 2:23:19[UNKNOWN]: She puts her cross right back in Miku's face while posing upward.
- 2:23:23[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, can this arena woman ever just be normal?
- 2:23:26[UNKNOWN]: She'll always not be this horny.
- 2:23:28[UNKNOWN]: uh, Miku Carter coming off the ropes and gave a very hard soccer ball kick.
- 2:23:32[UNKNOWN]: That was like that was for putting your crotch in my face.
- 2:23:35[UNKNOWN]: And then we got the Moe Kai chance again.
- 2:23:37[UNKNOWN]: So arena got to eat two more of them.
- 2:23:40[UNKNOWN]: Even while she was kind of funny, kind of funny enough put me except to try to decline.
- 2:23:43[UNKNOWN]: That was fun.
- 2:23:45[UNKNOWN]: I just, I just said that was funny.
- 2:23:47[UNKNOWN]: That was a two count.
- 2:23:49[UNKNOWN]: Uh, you have a Naka hits a, it's a bunch more kicks in the corner and comes back at a running face buster and then the splits drop I guess, kind of like the one she does, except when up a big delay, that got her to count.
- 2:24:02[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Miku hitting nice backdrops to flex a little later, followed by sliding away for two count, just for the five minute call.
- 2:24:08[UNKNOWN]: She then got arena in an interesting half crab variant where she sits back and also controls
- 2:24:17[UNKNOWN]: that forced Irmina to crawl the ropes for the break.
- 2:24:20[UNKNOWN]: I just don't love Irmina and I can sell you though.
- 2:24:24[UNKNOWN]: Like in a promotion that, as I talked about earlier, is now full of bait sellers.
- 2:24:28[UNKNOWN]: I think Irina still just looks a bit unconvincing to me.
- 2:24:31[UNKNOWN]: Like she always looks like she's trying to laugh or something the way that bad sellers can look like that.
- 2:24:37[UNKNOWN]: Erinead cuts me who off on the top rope and then hits an impressive spider front suplex, which you really don't see every day, you know, does the front suplex and then just like hooks your legs up there and like sits back up.
- 2:24:49[UNKNOWN]: Then hits a leaping front kick off the top rope.
- 2:24:51[UNKNOWN]: That sent me to the floor, so Erinead falls out there across body off the top, definitely her most impressive sequence of the match to this point by a mile, probably overall.
- 2:25:00[UNKNOWN]: to.
- 2:25:02[UNKNOWN]: Back in the ring, Erina got a Northern Life Superflex for two, then a inverted DDA that I thought was actually unfinished, but even if it is, Miku kicks out anyway.
- 2:25:10[UNKNOWN]: Erina then tried a twisting flash off the top, Miku wrote out a way that with both girls down.
- 2:25:16[UNKNOWN]: Miku came back with a hard-legged kick once they stood back up, followed by a big laryat for two.
- 2:25:21[UNKNOWN]: Erina, though, countered by just like leaping up and throwing her crotch and Miku's face so much with the crotch with this woman.
- 2:25:28[UNKNOWN]: I guess I turned like a sloppy Rona penitown to whatever that got to.
- 2:25:31[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Miku came back with a high kick, then another huge Larry at that arena took this great flipping bump on her neck for, and then Miku got a buzz saw kick, uh, area that did a great like zombie yoga check out.
- 2:25:44[UNKNOWN]: I can't even really describe just for the 10 minute call, but Miku then hit the starsplash, and that got the pen.
- 2:25:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, arena's general weirdness keeps it fast and getting super high or anything, but again, still good, especially toward the end, so three and a half stars again, and yeah, this show peaked kind of early, you know, all the better stuff was on the undercard, but still having efforts from our goal here, and like I said earlier, still the best dream, dream star.
- 2:26:10[UNKNOWN]: Dream Gate.
- 2:26:10[UNKNOWN]: Best Dream Star GP show so far.
- 2:26:13[UNKNOWN]: Alright folks, so in just a sec I'll be back.
- 2:26:15[UNKNOWN]: I will just a sec for you guys, for me it'll be six days from now, but in just a sec for you guys I'll be back with the final part of the Marigold Dream Star GP reviews, which is also the final part of this episode.
- 2:26:28[UNKNOWN]: So see you guys in a second.
- 2:26:30[UNKNOWN]: All right, folks, back to do the night six of the Marigold Dreamstar GP.
- 2:26:36[UNKNOWN]: This was from Korea City Industrial Promotional Center, Al-Wi-Hall and I-G, one of the fucking names.
- 2:26:43[UNKNOWN]: So I-G, of course, we're in Agoya.
- 2:26:44[UNKNOWN]: That's the main city of that prefecture.
- 2:26:46[UNKNOWN]: Probably not that bad of an I-G.
- 2:26:48[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, announced crowd of 358, just a lot of various give a lot of stuff on this show.
- 2:26:55[UNKNOWN]: I guess we're going to do it.
- 2:26:56[UNKNOWN]: Everything was kind of fine, really not the wrong way thing, but just not much to recommend here.
- 2:27:02[UNKNOWN]: Open with the block D, which was Chica Godo, beating Shino in 925 with the Goton special.
- 2:27:10[UNKNOWN]: So I moved for the 2 and 2 and dropped Shino to 1 and 2.
- 2:27:14[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I thought though Cheek of coming out here had like new wringier or something, but I guess it was just like these right lights, really bringing out the purple and pink of our outfit because like, on back to look at pixel prior shows and slight out, it looks like the same outfit actually so, it did look really good here though.
- 2:27:30[UNKNOWN]: Um, some nice light kicks from Shino, they sounded really stiff, go cheeky, sold them very well too.
- 2:27:35[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Shino got her in a food you are arm bar before go cheek, I made the robes.
- 2:27:40[UNKNOWN]: Um, I'm always like just really impressed by how good all of Shino's offense looks, especially for somebody so young.
- 2:27:46[UNKNOWN]: I mean, she's still 16 or she's now 17.
- 2:27:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, she's 17 now.
- 2:27:50[UNKNOWN]: So she's been out that at that's for only like, I, you know, a little over a year, basically, I kind of that one match.
- 2:27:56[UNKNOWN]: She didn't 2020 or so.
- 2:27:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, just her offense looks better than some people who are far more veteran wrestlers in her.
- 2:28:04[UNKNOWN]: She did really nice step up, Neha, one point for a two count.
- 2:28:08[UNKNOWN]: Unfortunately, they kind of lost the threat of this match, you know, for a sack where I think Fino was supposed to reverse her mid-air out of something.
- 2:28:15[UNKNOWN]: then they just kind of repeated the spot and didn't look any better the second time either so they really shouldn't have bothered and I didn't really like to finish that much either.
- 2:28:22[UNKNOWN]: Go cheek I just kind of powered her into a slam out of nowhere and pinned her up to taking all the offense and just felt kind of like, all right, time to hit my move down when it started out a lot better than the end of my opinion, so by the end though I guess it's still perfectly fine still three stars which is a rating you're going to hear a lot for this show.
- 2:28:39[UNKNOWN]: Uh, next up was my soccer right in block C, uh, defeating hummingbird in 736 with her STO.
- 2:28:48[UNKNOWN]: So that raised my record up to 3 and 1 and dropped hummingbird down to 1 and 3.
- 2:28:53[UNKNOWN]: Uh, hummingbird is like one of those vusters who makes any wrestler of average above average height.
- 2:28:59[UNKNOWN]: Any woman of a budget average height, you know, in this case C 5 5 164 centimeter
- 2:29:08[UNKNOWN]: I mean, how many bird though?
- 2:29:08[UNKNOWN]: When I look up for a height too, it seems like 5.053.
- 2:29:12[UNKNOWN]: I would have thought she was under 5 feet, so maybe it's not a warp type, but she looks tired of that.
- 2:29:18[UNKNOWN]: It was kind of just a match early on.
- 2:29:20[UNKNOWN]: Not that much stood out about it.
- 2:29:22[UNKNOWN]: Live crowd didn't seem super into it either, and they were actually kind of into a bunch of stuff on this show, just not really this match to the start at least.
- 2:29:28[UNKNOWN]: So I know it's a frequent complaint about Marigold Crowds, but they really weren't that bad of a crowd, especially on the Marigold Crowds scale.
- 2:29:34[UNKNOWN]: My beater up for a while, as you probably expect, they went into a forearm exchange, the bird triter bass, but my is definitely more brutal.
- 2:29:43[UNKNOWN]: But I mean, bird came back with a head scissors though, was set up a poor style sliding drop kick against the ropes.
- 2:29:49[UNKNOWN]: That did look quite stiff, so that was good.
- 2:29:50[UNKNOWN]: That was her receipt, I guess.
- 2:29:52[UNKNOWN]: Then followed up with a crossbody up the top for a two count, just for the five-minute call, hummingbird, missed a frog splash off the top, got dropped kicked by my from behind,
- 2:30:02[UNKNOWN]: who then hit another dropkick to the face for a two count.
- 2:30:05[UNKNOWN]: She went for her big arm travel steal thing, but the bird escaped it, rode up for a near fall, and they trade some more near falls back and forth, which just wasn't clicking for me at any kind of high level, and then I just got the STO.
- 2:30:16[UNKNOWN]: She was looking for it before, and that got it at a pin, just another perfectly fine match, just nothing that's special, so another, you know, three star, three star affair,
- 2:30:25[UNKNOWN]: The next tournament match, skipping past a non-form match, was in Block A, UK Yamazaki, a little bit of an upset when I think, beating in Misa Matsuri and 929 with a Jorge Clutch.
- 2:30:36[UNKNOWN]: That moved turn to 2 and 2 and dropped Matsuri to 1, 2 and 1.
- 2:30:42[UNKNOWN]: it opened with or before the match itself actually.
- 2:30:46[UNKNOWN]: The theme songs here were like so weirdly reversed.
- 2:30:49[UNKNOWN]: Like Yucca sounds like it could be for a heel and meets the sounds like a total baby, Sam.
- 2:30:55[UNKNOWN]: Again, who would a heel here?
- 2:30:57[UNKNOWN]: Who is the heel?
- 2:30:58[UNKNOWN]: What's with the theme song?
- 2:31:00[UNKNOWN]: Uh, me second trolled early, she pulled up, successfully pulled off a look over there on Yuka.
- 2:31:06[UNKNOWN]: I guess she's like a working for a rocket lately.
- 2:31:09[UNKNOWN]: Uh, that led to some hair webs followed by some outside the ring, brawling my favorite Ben, love outside the ring brawling, definitely not a segment in every promotion.
- 2:31:16[UNKNOWN]: Uh, she also hit a super weak chair shot, which makes me wonder why all the darkness revolution members have signature chairs if they're so bad at hitting people with them, like the chairs have never looked good.
- 2:31:27[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Misa kept working over back in the ring.
- 2:31:30[UNKNOWN]: She was stepping on her hand against the ropes and slamming her in such.
- 2:31:33[UNKNOWN]: She's not as super interesting match.
- 2:31:35[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Yuka's come back to do it time for me either, but she did hit a nice little twist of faith.
- 2:31:40[UNKNOWN]: First of fate, I should say.
- 2:31:42[UNKNOWN]: She's at just after the five minute call.
- 2:31:44[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Misa got her in a stretch muffler, which you could did sell very well, for she's able to scan with the robes.
- 2:31:50[UNKNOWN]: They had a kind of pedestrian form exchange, although you could does finally cracker with one at the end.
- 2:31:55[UNKNOWN]: Uh, it led in the two of them fitting suplexes.
- 2:31:57[UNKNOWN]: That look pretty good.
- 2:31:58[UNKNOWN]: Misa got a pretty stiff looking double stomp off the second rope for a near fall, followed by a grounded super kick, and then a big running knee attack for another near fall on the messaging pick up a lot by that point.
- 2:32:09[UNKNOWN]: But then they did kind of a sloppy cradle sequence, and that unfortunately is what got
- 2:32:14[UNKNOWN]: Night in the general woman's threes and other three star might have gone three in the corner without the screw up of the finish, but what can you do?
- 2:32:21[UNKNOWN]: uh... your next match was in block d which was a cokia marae beating ninety-two tajibana and only four forty-four following the cokie sourcutter so that kept her undefeated still for no so definitely pushing cokie hardness tournament all tajibana fell to one and two uh... so this is the match I had struck on this night mulled because you know i think cokie is a better lately and i think ninety-two usually looks good and i can touch your bana definitely
- 2:32:49[UNKNOWN]: Um, good piece from the start with 90 said ducking under cookies, clothes lines to hit a nice drop egg, only for cookie to come back with some boots to face and she really looks like she's booting the shot of her Aussies on the mat and a frustrated 90 said like stood right up into a big running shoulder block from cookie for a two count.
- 2:33:09[UNKNOWN]: Uh, an encouraging sign from cookie tears.
- 2:33:11[UNKNOWN]: She seems much less afraid to just hit people lightly like the boots.
- 2:33:14[UNKNOWN]: She just rocked at 90s a with or besides the boots.
- 2:33:17[UNKNOWN]: She just like rocked 90s a with an elbow to the face at one point.
- 2:33:20[UNKNOWN]: Uh, because sometimes she had been a bit tentative, I think so.
- 2:33:24[UNKNOWN]: Nagi's a tragic frost body leading up to the second rope, but Koki dodged it and ran her over with another boot to the face.
- 2:33:32[UNKNOWN]: Nagi's a caught her arm on a close line though and then turned it into this weird like flipping facebuster thing on a kneeling Koki at the inverted DT position.
- 2:33:41[UNKNOWN]: That didn't look that right to be honest.
- 2:33:43[UNKNOWN]: She then got like the snap of it in the way land used to look that great.
- 2:33:47[UNKNOWN]: She then got her cross-body off the second rope on the second try, but Koki came back with a drop kick that unfortunately looked like a straight-up missed.
- 2:33:54[UNKNOWN]: But the big boot up against the ropes looked a lot better though, as did this running short range cutters.
- 2:33:59[UNKNOWN]: She got a two-hand on.
- 2:34:01[UNKNOWN]: Koki hit at the lay-back drop suit plaques and covered, but 90s had just cruised fixed right out of that after a one-count for a super close near fall.
- 2:34:08[UNKNOWN]: Great little spot there.
- 2:34:10[UNKNOWN]: Koki came back by running her over with yet another big boot of the face.
- 2:34:13[UNKNOWN]: Now I need to took this nice little flying bump for it and then she hit her Canadian backbreaker cutter thing and that got Koki the pen.
- 2:34:22[UNKNOWN]: The best match of this show, nothing you need to run out and watch.
- 2:34:24[UNKNOWN]: I was like three in a quarter, which maybe is even a little generous given they did the
- 2:34:29[UNKNOWN]: little Bachman draft cake and it was quite short, but I just thought it was, I enjoy that.
- 2:34:34[UNKNOWN]: And you know, just felt a touch better than the rest of the match on the show.
- 2:34:40[UNKNOWN]: The final tournament match in Block A of this show was Miku Otto beating Alia James in 607 with a Tiger Driver that moved her up to 211 and dropped James to 222.
- 2:34:52[UNKNOWN]: Meet me started off with this hard soccer ball kick to the back.
- 2:34:55[UNKNOWN]: Funny enough, she almost forgot to wait for the MoE Kaij and to start for during the second time.
- 2:35:00[UNKNOWN]: She was like, oh wait, I got just wait a second.
- 2:35:01[UNKNOWN]: Let the fans think they're in control here.
- 2:35:03[UNKNOWN]: That was kind of funny.
- 2:35:05[UNKNOWN]: At least she did remember to wait all the way for the third one.
- 2:35:08[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Miku got her in this low angle scorpion much faster than what I've expected, but the match and the being very short, uh, James able to make it the ropes after a bit of a struggle.
- 2:35:16[UNKNOWN]: And I don't know, it was just getting another match on the show where it felt like there was nothing wrong with it, but it just wasn't clicking for me.
- 2:35:23[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Alia hit a nice little frost body up the top at one point for a two count, but that's, you know, not as fast as gonna have you like best viewing your friend to go.
- 2:35:30[UNKNOWN]: Did you see this shit?
- 2:35:31[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's a nice little spot.
- 2:35:33[UNKNOWN]: uh, Miku ultimately pinned James the tiger driver that much trouble, which made sense for K-Fabes standpoint, but did not make for a very thrilling final stretch, just felt like, okay, time to be there now.
- 2:35:43[UNKNOWN]: Um, I don't know, I thought this was the weakest match in the show ultimately, just felt like a borderline squash at points, so I went two and three quarters, it was just okay.
- 2:35:51[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, pretty weak tournament show.
- 2:35:53[UNKNOWN]: Just a bunch of stuff that was mostly fine, and nothing more, definitely one you can skip.
- 2:35:57[UNKNOWN]: So there's nothing bad on the show though.
- 2:35:59[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, some of the other ones have some bad matches, which is this to not having a bad, so that's something I guess.
- 2:36:04[UNKNOWN]: All right, so we're back in a sector wrap up this episode with the three matches from the dream star night seven, so see you in a second.
- 2:36:11[UNKNOWN]: All right, so wrapping up the marigold with the three matches here from night seven, which I'm going to try to go very quickly because it's very late now, this finishes episode took forever.
- 2:36:21[UNKNOWN]: But this was from this past Sunday, 1913, from the Sun Parallel, our Kawai and Tokyo, a venue I'd never heard of, but it's just to the northwest of downtown.
- 2:36:32[UNKNOWN]: towards like a way now.
- 2:36:33[UNKNOWN]: It's like kind of a suburb I guess.
- 2:36:36[UNKNOWN]: uh... announced crowd of three ninety two uh... you know it's a pretty big looking auditorium type venue at the ring on the stage that for unique looking set up uh... but uh... we had not one but two four of us on the show so and now you know that he forfeit in block b to give me the smith a free two points and cheegee for forfeit it in block c to give show go kosheno free two points but also reduced our number matches down from for this final night recovering from five to three
- 2:37:04[UNKNOWN]: You know, I was not unhappy about it, I've been watching stuff for this episode.
- 2:37:10[UNKNOWN]: The first tournament was Block D. She now being the Huggish Attack Touchy Bona in 1029 with a rolling elbow.
- 2:37:17[UNKNOWN]: That moved her to 2 and 2 and dropped the Touchy Bona to 1 and 3.
- 2:37:21[UNKNOWN]: some nice old chain wrestling to start from both girls.
- 2:37:24[UNKNOWN]: Nothing that unique, but it all looks solid.
- 2:37:27[UNKNOWN]: Pretty decent form exchange too, which took us through the five-minute call, you know, both girls and it's a nice one.
- 2:37:34[UNKNOWN]: Speaking of letting some nice ones, she know, just cracked.
- 2:37:38[UNKNOWN]: Now, you said in the face at one point with this upward rising slap, just a little bit after that.
- 2:37:44[UNKNOWN]: I look pretty cool.
- 2:37:46[UNKNOWN]: She hit this cool little knee to the gut counter at 97 when she tried to come off the rope with her springboard across body, then locked on a scorpion deflock.
- 2:37:54[UNKNOWN]: Maggie's assaulted really well as she finally made the ropes to break and then she know just like mercifully stayed on her with some nice middle kicks of the chest while she was sitting down and gives the ropes.
- 2:38:03[UNKNOWN]: Maggie's finally grabbed her foot on one of them now and then stood back up and pounded her her forearms down at the mat.
- 2:38:09[UNKNOWN]: Cool little sequence there.
- 2:38:12[UNKNOWN]: Now I get to touch you one of the three front rowing front two flexes, but with slow to cover because she was still selling from the beating she just took and she no-kicked out.
- 2:38:20[UNKNOWN]: Now I get to think of these springboard crossbody, she was looking for before, but she noted that crucifix hole counter at one, which they seem to love now, that got her own close near fall.
- 2:38:30[UNKNOWN]: should hit a high kick and a running knee attack for another near fall just for the 10-minute call.
- 2:38:36[UNKNOWN]: Shino folded up with a running, roaring form and that was enough to get it to pen.
- 2:38:41[UNKNOWN]: Damn good match.
- 2:38:42[UNKNOWN]: Better than anything on night six and better than anything on the rest of the show too.
- 2:38:45[UNKNOWN]: So three and a half stars.
- 2:38:46[UNKNOWN]: The closest thing to a recommendation from this weekend, really.
- 2:38:51[UNKNOWN]: Next up was Block A, which was Natsumi Shouzuki, beating Erin Ayama Noka in 750 with the Meteora.
- 2:38:58[UNKNOWN]: So I moved her to 2 and 2 and also dropped Yama Naka down to 2 and 2.
- 2:39:02[UNKNOWN]: Just like a boring, nothing happening starts with Smash.
- 2:39:06[UNKNOWN]: Erin, although, did make sure to rubber-ass in Natsumi's face, and then give her the Prockel Buster for all the corn dogs among us, though, don't worry.
- 2:39:13[UNKNOWN]: It was like a really sloppy Bronco Buster.
- 2:39:15[UNKNOWN]: I didn't even know that could be a thing, but she looked like she almost fell down trying to give it.
- 2:39:21[UNKNOWN]: Not too many came back where they running double-news in the corner, that did look good.
- 2:39:24[UNKNOWN]: And she seemed like she was kind of mocking Arena with a sexy cover pose.
- 2:39:29[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I don't know.
- 2:39:30[UNKNOWN]: There's a bunch of jumping around right now, I'm going to just show for it, just I wasn't into it at all.
- 2:39:35[UNKNOWN]: But I'm realizing throughout this tournament, I'm pretty anti-area.
- 2:39:39[UNKNOWN]: Actually, it says it's very good.
- 2:39:41[UNKNOWN]: And I was ready for this B over, and that's when we wiped out the running double knees of the face.
- 2:39:45[UNKNOWN]: I was kind of hoping that'd be the finish and, you know, airing it and kick out.
- 2:39:50[UNKNOWN]: But then right after that, and that's when we followed up with the double knees off the top of the meteora, and that was the finish.
- 2:39:54[UNKNOWN]: So I got my wish, I guess, kind of two and a half, just a deeply average match.
- 2:40:00[UNKNOWN]: The final lead match of the night in B-block was Cheyaki beating Mario Tone with the diving guillotine leg drop up up the top in 1140.
- 2:40:09[UNKNOWN]: That was my first loss, she's now 3 in 1, Cheyaki moves to 2 and 2.
- 2:40:14[UNKNOWN]: Rossio Gawas, he was right in the background with this whole show, I wanted to take the way to have the table set up, but he usually don't do that.
- 2:40:20[UNKNOWN]: And so he's directly on the Kharkam and he was like down just texting the entire time during Chiyaki's fucking dance intro entrance or whatever and I just thought that was a very funny visual.
- 2:40:33[UNKNOWN]: Like if this isn't even for you who's a four body, Chiyaki trying to leap up to interrupt my eu throwing her little gotch upon Primaatch, but she did so hilariously late that the thing was practically already the crowd when she finally did jump on my game need to be a little faster
- 2:40:50[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, I believe this for the master of the two of them, ending up on the outside and Cheyaki whipping my render bunch of chairs.
- 2:40:58[UNKNOWN]: Uh, she did the face washers and such back in the ring.
- 2:41:01[UNKNOWN]: The last of which sent my ear right back out again.
- 2:41:04[UNKNOWN]: She didn't even bother finding her out the following route the second time though.
- 2:41:07[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, just there was not much going on this match, especially early unless you absolutely love watching Chiyaki's one fucking facial expression, but might have come back with quite a bit better and finally gotten underway to a nice little top rope runner, but she did miss a frog splash off the top just for the five-minute call and got spooned by Chiyaki, which she took a very nice bump for, she was really won't fly.
- 2:41:28[UNKNOWN]: Maya eventually got the Fox fast years after a bit later.
- 2:41:31[UNKNOWN]: She got a two count off of that.
- 2:41:32[UNKNOWN]: She actually shoved the Refinter her path though, and basically made him give Maya a shoulder block, which was kind of funny.
- 2:41:38[UNKNOWN]: Then she just killed him before grabbing your chair.
- 2:41:41[UNKNOWN]: Maya you avoided a couple times for shaking the chair of the gut.
- 2:41:44[UNKNOWN]: And she got thrown in the seat of it and wrapped it there.
- 2:41:47[UNKNOWN]: That was all right before the 10-minute call.
- 2:41:49[UNKNOWN]: The riff got back up in time to see Cheyaki get my you up in the Argentine backbreaker.
- 2:41:53[UNKNOWN]: Drop her up into the fate into a facebuster from there, but my you kicked out.
- 2:41:58[UNKNOWN]: Cheyaki fought up with a spint.
- 2:42:00[UNKNOWN]: A sit-out power bomb, then a spinning sit-out power bomb.
- 2:42:03[UNKNOWN]: But my you still kicked out because it's kind of what she does, just always kicks out.
- 2:42:06[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, she actually then finally hit the top roadblood drop.
- 2:42:09[UNKNOWN]: That was fine enough for the pen.
- 2:42:11[UNKNOWN]: So I guess she wins.
- 2:42:12[UNKNOWN]: I guess she gets a future super fly title shot.
- 2:42:14[UNKNOWN]: If people there remember that exists.
- 2:42:16[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, pretty good.
- 2:42:18[UNKNOWN]: I think three and a quarter for the whole thing.
- 2:42:19[UNKNOWN]: Easily jockey, if that's managed to store them in which.
- 2:42:21[UNKNOWN]: Not surprising when they're my retony, I guess.
- 2:42:24[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, another skippable show overall.
- 2:42:26[UNKNOWN]: I guess a little bit of the night six.
- 2:42:28[UNKNOWN]: But you know, nothing you got to watch here, really.
- 2:42:30[UNKNOWN]: That's not that important.
- 2:42:31[UNKNOWN]: All right, so we're going into the last two nights of the dream star, the block finals are this coming Saturday.
- 2:42:39[UNKNOWN]: These two shows will are live thankfully.
- 2:42:41[UNKNOWN]: So this is, yeah, this is this Saturday and the actual finals with the top two moving off of each block, I'll take place in one night on the 20th on Sunday.
- 2:42:54[UNKNOWN]: the A-block standings going in.
- 2:42:57[UNKNOWN]: It's a big log jam, so me go on those in first with 2-1-1-1 for 5 points.
- 2:43:02[UNKNOWN]: Then Arina, Alia James, and that's me Shazuki, and Yuka Yamazaki all tied for second with 2-1-2 for 4 points.
- 2:43:09[UNKNOWN]: Me some at series and last 1-2-1 for 3 points.
- 2:43:12[UNKNOWN]: on the final block tonight, the matchups are Miku Annovers' Netsui Shorsuki, Yuka Yamazaki versus Elia James, and Arena Yamanoca versus Metsui.
- 2:43:22[UNKNOWN]: So really no way to tell who's moving on there.
- 2:43:24[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, it could be any of the four point people.
- 2:43:27[UNKNOWN]: I think everybody's still alive.
- 2:43:29[UNKNOWN]: You know, Miku Annovers, I've got five points.
- 2:43:32[UNKNOWN]: Metsui has three.
- 2:43:34[UNKNOWN]: I guess she's the hardest one to figure out how she would move on because
- 2:43:38[UNKNOWN]: If you do an unbreakable tie with her Mikuano if she now because then you have two people six and I'm actually jealous and she might be the one person out.
- 2:43:46[UNKNOWN]: B-block, keep in mind that Chiyaki's done because she was supposed to face now we should call on the last show.
- 2:43:52[UNKNOWN]: But it's my favorite Tani, three and one for six points.
- 2:43:55[UNKNOWN]: Chiyaki, three and two for six points.
- 2:43:57[UNKNOWN]: Then Nozaki and Minami and Mila Smith are all two and two for four points.
- 2:44:02[UNKNOWN]: And now Chiyaki is one and four for two points.
- 2:44:04[UNKNOWN]: So my U has Nagisa and
- 2:44:14[UNKNOWN]: for Sochiaki, she lost to Nagisa Nozaki and and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it's a, and it
- 2:44:37[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if Nagi said wins, I think Nagi said, no, Nagi's a wins and come on with losers, I think it'll be Nagi's and Chiaki move on because they both would be, they both would be in Maya at that point.
- 2:44:48[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I think she needs, if Nagi said be to Maya, I think she's okay, if Komono and Maya you win, I think those two would move on because you have that Maya, Maya would have eight points and
- 2:45:06[UNKNOWN]: This is a little more easy.
- 2:45:07[UNKNOWN]: Victoria Yuzuki and Mai Sakurai are both three and one for six points.
- 2:45:11[UNKNOWN]: Shoko and Diana are both two and two for four points and cheat-cheaming bird are both one and three for two points.
- 2:45:16[UNKNOWN]: Victoria faces cheat-cheating.
- 2:45:18[UNKNOWN]: Mai faces Diana.
- 2:45:19[UNKNOWN]: Shoko faces hummingbird.
- 2:45:21[UNKNOWN]: Basically, Victoria and Mai are both winter and Diana can win and move on because she would be in Mai here.
- 2:45:29[UNKNOWN]: I think Shoko did Shoko be anybody because she's at four points.
- 2:45:36[UNKNOWN]: Shoko, I think, lost to both, yeah, I think Shoko's done.
- 2:45:39[UNKNOWN]: Shoko lost to both my Sakurai and my O, or I'm not my O, I'm sorry, my Sakurai and Victoria.
- 2:45:45[UNKNOWN]: So I think he and if she wins, I think she's still done.
- 2:45:47[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I think it's Victoria, my and Diana, the ones who can move on.
- 2:45:50[UNKNOWN]: I think Victoria's just moves on, because Victoria beat Diana.
- 2:45:53[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, Victoria, I think Victoria's already through.
- 2:45:56[UNKNOWN]: D-block, Koki Amara is the easiest one.
- 2:45:58[UNKNOWN]: She's definitely for already.
- 2:45:59[UNKNOWN]: She's four and over eight points.
- 2:46:01[UNKNOWN]: Then Leisetto, Chica, Goto, and Chino are both two and two for four points.
- 2:46:06[UNKNOWN]: Nine is a touch of Bana and Megaton, both one and three for two points.
- 2:46:09[UNKNOWN]: It's Koki versus Chino, Chica, Goto versus Danisa and Leisetto versus Megaton.
- 2:46:15[UNKNOWN]: If Chino wins, I don't know how this three-way tie works.
- 2:46:20[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, Ray said, don't she got in Sheena or basically batting it out here for a second.
- 2:46:23[UNKNOWN]: Ray said to, did she have a tie for a kind of anybody?
- 2:46:31[UNKNOWN]: Because she's probably going to be mega done.
- 2:46:34[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I believe she doesn't have, yeah, she lost and she could go to.
- 2:46:39[UNKNOWN]: So she could go to the library on her, which is big for her, obviously.
- 2:46:42[UNKNOWN]: She know, she could go to also the library on she know, and she know has the type of race that on the library on she know.
- 2:46:50[UNKNOWN]: So she know has to win and she needs a lot of help.
- 2:46:52[UNKNOWN]: She needs mega time to be race that dough.
- 2:46:55[UNKNOWN]: And she needs Nagi said to be cheeky, go to her.
- 2:46:57[UNKNOWN]: So she's probably not getting thrilled.
- 2:46:59[UNKNOWN]: It's going to be either cheeky, go to her race that day when I would probably
- 2:47:04[UNKNOWN]: Alright, well, that'll do it folks for this week's episode.
- 2:47:07[UNKNOWN]: Thank you for bearing with me.
- 2:47:09[UNKNOWN]: I don't really like doing solo on you, so we got through it that way a little later than planned.
- 2:47:15[UNKNOWN]: Next week, I'll be back on here with an actual guest thankfully, so Eric, from Social Suplex and Josie around, will be joining me for the...
- 2:47:23[UNKNOWN]: Night's Form 5, the All-Japan Odo Tournament, the last two nights of the Dream Star, DDT's September 24th, for our game, finally going to do DDT's show again, and the Sendai Girls September 18 show from Sendai Pit.
- 2:47:36[UNKNOWN]: So that will be next week, and in the meantime, you can follow us on Twitter at WrestleMania on my cast, saying we're not fit, you can follow me on BlueSky, I just want Mme, and I guess I will see you next time, bye-bye.
