- 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
- 1:20[UNKNOWN]: Welcome back everybody to all of us seeing all my castes, it is episode number 308, please be joined by a returning guest, hello our method, hey John, how's it going?
- 1:32[UNKNOWN]: Uh, it's going okay, you know, been busy didn't get to all the wrestling I wanted to get to as a result, but there was a lot of it to be to be anyways.
- 1:42[UNKNOWN]: I was going to say we said ourselves a pretty tall task this week, and maybe if you had completed all of the wrestling, we had set out to do at the beginning of this week, you might have come on the other end here and just said,
- 1:57[UNKNOWN]: our method.
- 1:58[UNKNOWN]: I can't do wrestling anymore.
- 2:00[UNKNOWN]: I watch too much of it.
- 2:02[UNKNOWN]: I mean, if you're so full, like it's Thanksgiving dinner.
- 2:05[UNKNOWN]: I sort of felt that way today anyway with the fucking amount.
- 2:08[UNKNOWN]: I had to watch just in one day because work, I meant to watch a lot more of yesterday and work was just insane.
- 2:13[UNKNOWN]: And so I really only got some Marvel show yesterday.
- 2:15[UNKNOWN]: So I ended up watching the two now I'm at, is the entire rest of the Marigold car, besides the stuff I skipped, and then the four of you, one match is all today, and I'm just like, I'm having enough for a song.
- 2:26[UNKNOWN]: Like this is a pretty much wrestling one day.
- 2:28[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, I genuinely think that watching as much wrestling as I did over the past week has made a little harder
- 2:35[UNKNOWN]: with anything even less than above average.
- 2:40[UNKNOWN]: Or even out above average, right?
- 2:43[UNKNOWN]: I bet some of the later G1 matches if you had shown them to me after I had not watched wrestling for a week.
- 2:51[UNKNOWN]: I probably would have been kinder to them than what I have in my notes.
- 2:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the cheap one.
- 2:56[UNKNOWN]: I mean, we're going to get to it.
- 2:57[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to like preempt.
- 2:58[UNKNOWN]: I mean, we're going to talk plenty of rest to be kind of starting to honestly the five star was a bit of a drag this week too.
- 3:04[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the five star the cork in was great, but the the two the two Sapporo show.
- 3:09[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I wasn't quite as negative on the miss some people seem to be, but they weren't great or anything.
- 3:14[UNKNOWN]: No, I think they were more or less dead average.
- 3:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but we're going to play down talk wrestling.
- 3:20[UNKNOWN]: So what else has been going on?
- 3:22[UNKNOWN]: I got plenty of money on it.
- 3:24[UNKNOWN]: Hey, no, and I have someone at the door.
- 3:26[UNKNOWN]: I know I heard the ding-dong.
- 3:28[UNKNOWN]: I didn't draw it.
- 3:29[UNKNOWN]: You're right there.
- 3:31[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 3:31[UNKNOWN]: All right.
- 3:32[UNKNOWN]: I can feel there.
- 3:33[UNKNOWN]: So, what's been going on with me lately is...
- 3:39[UNKNOWN]: I said I could feel here, and I'm not feeling there very well.
- 3:42[UNKNOWN]: I was around this weekend at my dad's, as our methetox in the background.
- 3:49[UNKNOWN]: Oh, so the big thing, I guess, is I've been working on my Japanese travel panel.
- 3:55[UNKNOWN]: And I pretty much destroyed my own sleep schedule.
- 3:58[UNKNOWN]: This is actually another reason why I didn't get to all the wrestling I wanted to get to, because I got in one of my ADHD hyper fixations where I'm like, okay, we're about four weeks out from this con.
- 4:07[UNKNOWN]: I have to finish this Japanese wrestling travel panel right now.
- 4:11[UNKNOWN]: And I pretty much stayed up all night working on the travel panel.
- 4:15[UNKNOWN]: Who's at your door, I'm Heather?
- 4:17[UNKNOWN]: It was some kids doing a fun razor.
- 4:20[UNKNOWN]: I say that's not a thing I ever get here ever so it's very much a Midwest suburbs thing yeah what are raising money for I think it was funnily enough of their wrestling club what's the right now this would be this would be shoot wrestling right yeah which is huge in Iowa I don't know if you're aware of this but
- 4:46[UNKNOWN]: I'm being collegiate wrestling, especially as huge in Iowa.
- 4:50[UNKNOWN]: Wait, it's so big that the kids can't erase fucking money for a door to door.
- 4:53[UNKNOWN]: They can't just fuck.
- 4:54[UNKNOWN]: Well, these are high schoolers.
- 4:56[UNKNOWN]: Okay, so they can't, they, they, they, school can't fund it.
- 5:00[UNKNOWN]: I know, it would be nice if the school just funded it from all and paying in property taxes, but apparently not.
- 5:07[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, I didn't give them, I didn't give them much change because I wasn't going to buy anything.
- 5:13[UNKNOWN]: And I just said, oh, I'm not interested.
- 5:15[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it was specifically wrestling, but one of them was wearing a shirt for the school, the local schools wrestling.
- 5:21[UNKNOWN]: So anyway, if they came to those kids, do they get veggie if you just like I'm not interested?
- 5:27[UNKNOWN]: No, they were sometimes, no.
- 5:29[UNKNOWN]: Sometimes, because the one that we do get is we get kids trying to sell candy bars in the middle of Manhattan, they do that a lot, and sometimes they're doing a subway, sometimes they're just doing on the street, and not all those are legit, some of them are just the fucking kids parking the money apparently.
- 5:45[UNKNOWN]: But like, if you tell them, you know, right away, like, I'm not interested, or they always seem to come to me when I'm standing on a street, my fucking headphones and probably spoken to cigarette, probably just like, not really want to be bothered.
- 5:58[UNKNOWN]: It might be like a work day or so, I have the day actually going to the office, I'm just in a bitchy mood, and they always come up to me, no matter how uninviting I look, probably, my headphones on, everything, and when I'm just kind of way the way like I'm not, I'm not interested, they get really pissed me sometimes, like, oh, you can't help
- 6:13[UNKNOWN]: And I haven't even had any cash first of all.
- 6:14[UNKNOWN]: I'd never fucking carry cash anymore.
- 6:16[UNKNOWN]: Who the fuck does?
- 6:18[UNKNOWN]: And like, yeah, I was gonna say that doesn't seem like a practical way to make money even if it is maybe a little scammy.
- 6:26[UNKNOWN]: Just because he had the buddy carries cash.
- 6:29[UNKNOWN]: Someone gonna have been most now, I think.
- 6:31[UNKNOWN]: But like, I'm not buying a candy bar for anybody.
- 6:34[UNKNOWN]: I don't really eat candy bars.
- 6:35[UNKNOWN]: So like, ever, pretty much.
- 6:37[UNKNOWN]: So, like, it's not a thing I eat ever.
- 6:42[UNKNOWN]: I definitely don't want to buy it from you on the street while I'm trying to stand here and chill.
- 6:46[UNKNOWN]: But I think that's what we get, I guess.
- 6:49[UNKNOWN]: They never come to my door at the apartment, though.
- 6:52[UNKNOWN]: So, whether they're selling with candy bars, too.
- 6:55[UNKNOWN]: No, not candy bars.
- 6:55[UNKNOWN]: I actually didn't give them a chance to tell me what they're selling.
- 6:59[UNKNOWN]: I just said nothing.
- 7:01[UNKNOWN]: Please move on.
- 7:03[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, I was talking about while you were over there was, uh, the, so I, the other reason why I didn't get through as much resting is because I, you know, my ADHD had perpixation.
- 7:13[UNKNOWN]: I was like, okay, we're about four and a half weeks out from Colossal Con East where I have a two hour walk.
- 7:19[UNKNOWN]: I know why this, I sell the excited to do this because they actually
- 7:25[UNKNOWN]: And this, you know, for Colossal County.
- 7:26[UNKNOWN]: So I'm like Thursday, two to four right now in a gigantic room.
- 7:32[UNKNOWN]: Like the biggest room they have, I think, for my Japan travel panel.
- 7:36[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, two hours a long time, but they build.
- 7:39[UNKNOWN]: I apply for that time slot, because they don't build in the one of these kinds that don't have gaps between the panels.
- 7:46[UNKNOWN]: So the two-hour, we really supposed to be done like 10 to 15 minutes before the panel time is over and like your first five or 10 minutes is for like set up time.
- 7:53[UNKNOWN]: So it's really like an hour and 40 minutes, not two hours.
- 7:56[UNKNOWN]: And believe me, I can fill it for a huge Apple panel.
- 7:58[UNKNOWN]: I'm sure I didn't want to listen to the bygap that we'll know that I could fill the time.
- 8:04[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I was just kind of like was up all night on Saturday, especially like thinking, like, oh, I'm going to go to big kind of early and not going to watch any more runs live wrestling.
- 8:11[UNKNOWN]: And then by the time I actually went to see, it was like, 8 a.m. Because I was like,
- 8:15[UNKNOWN]: working on all my slides and I think my notes that I really look at, and you know, I think I put together a very good Japan travel panel.
- 8:23[UNKNOWN]: So if you're going to be a colossal conneast at the Calahari and the Poconos, and you're going to be there Thursday or two, which is why I'm worried no one's going to show up because this is a rare four-day con and already one person I know who said they wanted to go was like, oh, I'm really disappointed on Tuesday and I'm like, oh, or Thursday, I mean, I'm not getting there to Friday.
- 8:41[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, well, that's why I think a lot of people are going
- 8:44[UNKNOWN]: All right, so I'm worried a lot of people are going to do.
- 8:46[UNKNOWN]: I mean, so, you know, I'm kind of worried about no one being there, especially the giant room they gave me.
- 8:51[UNKNOWN]: But if you are going to go, it's going to be a very thorough travel panel, so you don't enjoy it, I think.
- 8:58[UNKNOWN]: You know, the one thing I don't do, I've just thinking about this, I was like, I kept going back and forth, but I should add it.
- 9:02[UNKNOWN]: I don't do a budget slide.
- 9:06[UNKNOWN]: I think you should have that I think that we know what a lot if you know what it what I I get it but you do my my thought process on this is so I feel like I go to these cons and they give these budgets sides and they and it never comes close to what I personally spend and the other hat side though it's always higher than I think you actually need as a minimum.
- 9:28[UNKNOWN]: like, I have a friend that went there who doesn't have a job, who has like, you know, he lives off like a fixed one of these fixed eight incomes and he made it work and he made it work for a lot less than I would ever recommend to people and, you know, that like, you know, these panels ever recommend to people.
- 9:50[UNKNOWN]: But he wanted to go and he fucking went.
- 9:52[UNKNOWN]: You know, it involved cutting corners everywhere, but he fucking did it.
- 9:56[UNKNOWN]: So I feel like to be the budget thing.
- 9:59[UNKNOWN]: So I can tell you, I certainly go into plenty of detail on flights because that's the biggest expense, especially pocket now.
- 10:06[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the flight is kind of what the flight is.
- 10:07[UNKNOWN]: You have to spend whatever you're going to spend on the flight.
- 10:09[UNKNOWN]: But after that, I kind of feel like everything else is pretty negotiable.
- 10:14[UNKNOWN]: It's like, do you want to spend nothing on food?
- 10:17[UNKNOWN]: You can fucking pretty much do it.
- 10:19[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you could spend like $10 a day on combing the food if you really want to.
- 10:23[UNKNOWN]: Do you want to spend a shit load about it on food?
- 10:25[UNKNOWN]: You can do that, too.
- 10:27[UNKNOWN]: You know, do you want to spend nothing on accommodations?
- 10:29[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you can fucking say in a market cafe if you really want to.
- 10:32[UNKNOWN]: It's not a good idea.
- 10:34[UNKNOWN]: I don't recommend it.
- 10:35[UNKNOWN]: But it's what that guy did.
- 10:37[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, that'll save you a lot of money on your accommodations.
- 10:40[UNKNOWN]: So I just think there's, like, such a wide range in what you can spend money on.
- 10:44[UNKNOWN]: It's kind of what I'm going to say.
- 10:46[UNKNOWN]: It's like, I give you, I give people very specific budget, like budget information on the flights and the, uh,
- 10:54[UNKNOWN]: amounts you can spend, but I don't really like doing like just a generic, you know, here's the budget, you know, of the, you're going to spend on a Japan track because I really feel like there's a huge range for that.
- 11:06[UNKNOWN]: Like you can really get away with spending almost nothing if you want to, besides the flight, the flights are always so expensive.
- 11:11[UNKNOWN]: But especially the government.
- 11:14[UNKNOWN]: I would just say that maybe that's the conversation you need to have at the panel then, right?
- 11:18[UNKNOWN]: Right.
- 11:19[UNKNOWN]: That there can be a real large range.
- 11:21[UNKNOWN]: If you're looking to cut corners, here's ways to do it, but it's a bad idea.
- 11:25[UNKNOWN]: And talk about why it's a bad idea.
- 11:26[UNKNOWN]: I think sometimes, I think when I was planning my Japan trip, it was helpful for me to hear numbers from other people, because I am the kind of person who wants to know a head of time, like a ballpark of what I'll be spending on a big trip, like when I have coming up here at the end of the month for to go to New Orleans to celebrate my birthday with some friends.
- 11:51[UNKNOWN]: And a lot of that I have planned out, not to the level of we're going to do this this and this, but more to the level of like you can look up like how much cocktails at bars I want to go to are going to cost and then kind of get a ballpark for what it's going to cost per day that kind of thing.
- 12:08[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
- 12:10[UNKNOWN]: I just like, you know, I think I think some people, I think sometimes people, which maybe there's a good conversation for people for a good thing for excuse me, even people listening to this to hear, I think sometimes people like freaked themselves out with a budget and it's like, well, if I don't have a X number of dollars, I definitely can't never go to Japan.
- 12:32[UNKNOWN]: And I don't really think that's true.
- 12:34[UNKNOWN]: I think people freaked themselves out with it too much.
- 12:36[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, I think giving a number can often be counterproductive.
- 12:41[UNKNOWN]: I could give like a range and I can tell people, you know, this is what the fix costs are going to be.
- 12:45[UNKNOWN]: But I really think there's a lot of places you could cut costs in like really cut corners if you don't want to spend a ton of money on the actual trap.
- 12:54[UNKNOWN]: It's really the flight, it's the big expense.
- 12:56[UNKNOWN]: Everything else I have for that is negotiable.
- 12:58[UNKNOWN]: Well, it also sounds like the guy you gave as an example is very, very good at finding a bargain and willing to do whatever it takes to get that bargain.
- 13:09[UNKNOWN]: I think just explaining to people the trade off there.
- 13:12[UNKNOWN]: And just being frank with them, like, look, most people are probably going to spend around this range when it comes to food and hotel and so on.
- 13:22[UNKNOWN]: But if you really want to save money, here's some tips.
- 13:28[UNKNOWN]: Maybe I still have time to go back and add a bunch of cyber like I want to.
- 13:31[UNKNOWN]: I just don't know.
- 13:32[UNKNOWN]: I feel like I actually kind of think you shouldn't mention what the cheapest possible option looks like.
- 13:38[UNKNOWN]: Because I feel like that requires a special kind of person to pull it off, you know?
- 13:44[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 13:45[UNKNOWN]: Now I get it.
- 13:46[UNKNOWN]: I mean, what I do the, when I, I give the manga cafe speech and this thing, I mean, I give, I give it as one of the five possible accommodations and cities, but like my recommendation is like, it's like, don't do this.
- 13:58[UNKNOWN]: It's pretty much, but like, you know, I want to be honest with them, be like, I have heard of people during this.
- 14:03[UNKNOWN]: It's not like you can't do this if you really want to, but I give all the downsides to it because there's a lot.
- 14:08[UNKNOWN]: Like, if you don't know about your cafe, it's like, they're very, you're basically having tiny cubicle, um, you either have a, a seat, or like something, something to have a mat you can lay down on.
- 14:19[UNKNOWN]: It is not comfortable washing to be, to be clear.
- 14:23[UNKNOWN]: And, um, you know, it is there's lights on the entire time, too.
- 14:28[UNKNOWN]: Now, there's some, there's some we can turn lights off depends on, it depends on the locate, there's a lot of stuff depends on location, some of them are slightly more hotel-like than others basically, like some of them you can turn the lights off, some of them will let you check your bag, some a lot of them alone though, most of them have showers nowadays, but some of them charge extra for that.
- 14:49[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, there's like you could pay by the hours of you really get if you really can get away with a crash and like four hours or something, you can pay you, you could stay for like ten at for like ten dollars, but like even like the full day of only going to be like 20 25 bucks usually so.
- 15:04[UNKNOWN]: But the issue is that there's very limited besides the fact that the actual sleep arrangements are not very good, you really can't book them that far in advance most of the time.
- 15:14[UNKNOWN]: I think there might be some you can, but for the most part most of them you can book like a week in advance of most, and some you can't book in advance at all.
- 15:21[UNKNOWN]: So you really have to go, you're getting out of playing a lot of cases without really knowing where you're going to stay.
- 15:26[UNKNOWN]: What's to me is like, I don't know, that's a big mental block to me.
- 15:29[UNKNOWN]: I don't know,
- 15:31[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I'm probably too bougie for like capsule hotels or hostels, so I definitely too bougie for a manga cafe.
- 15:37[UNKNOWN]: I keep trying to talk myself into one of the nicer capsule hotels for my next trip, but like when I keep looking at the pricing, I'm like, okay, if I could just spend 150 for three nights, like this is like peak peak Christmas time.
- 15:52[UNKNOWN]: One-fifth year, one-sixth year, one of the really nice capsulhotels that like the first class one, I think it's called our first cabin, where it's like more like a tiny room in a capsule, or I can spend two-ten for like a solo business room in Akiba, for those three nights at the Kate, the KQEXN, I'm like, why are then I just spend the extra 60 or 50 bucks to have an actual room my own bathroom and everything.
- 16:14[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't really make any sense at that point.
- 16:16[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know, it's not saving me enough money.
- 16:19[UNKNOWN]: Like I'd have to really go to like one of the capsules that are like bare bones Just to fucking little capsule and like bad amount of these probably to really save enough money.
- 16:28[UNKNOWN]: Where it's like worth it And at that point, it's like, well, I don't want to do that.
- 16:32[UNKNOWN]: So, you know Yeah, come for just a key part of enjoying a vacation out.
- 16:38[UNKNOWN]: I think
- 16:39[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and we became the same thing with like the flights were like, you know, by my, I told Rich because Rich played he paid me today for Like the voice arresting staff, the enormous amount of money I get for like writing and podcasting that doesn't even cover the Zencaster, bumpy fake now that I'm happy not happy to get anything of course, but like, you know, it doesn't even cover that.
- 17:03[UNKNOWN]: Um, but I was like, okay, Rhett, this is even even more appreciated than usual because I just, you know, you don't want me not the, I told me amount.
- 17:12[UNKNOWN]: I spent on the flight.
- 17:12[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 17:13[UNKNOWN]: Is it golf to say it?
- 17:14[UNKNOWN]: I guess I could just say it because there's, you know, people probably wondering why they're.
- 17:17[UNKNOWN]: You have final editing control.
- 17:19[UNKNOWN]: Go for it, bro.
- 17:21[UNKNOWN]: I was like, that would be debating what myself, I guess.
- 17:25[UNKNOWN]: It was for December 17th, January 6th, which is very, very close to the peak.
- 17:30[UNKNOWN]: And not the peak of holidays, because if you went a few more, if you went over that weekend, it was even more expensive.
- 17:36[UNKNOWN]: uh... for round trip and a nonstop gfk and a that was three thousand sixty and i told him that price and he was like what classes at like oh it's fucking economy like that is between the fact that this is the peak time of year and your super expensive and of course there's a giant war going on that raised up the price of air food you know air fair and oil and everything yeah that that is a economy three thousand so
- 18:04[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, I have upgrades that upgrade possibilities that, you know, I have a, I don't upgrade with business from miles if I get lucky, uh, they might let me bid for primary economy upgrade.
- 18:14[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I, but at the end of the day, I might not get any of that, and I might not want to pay extra for anything else.
- 18:20[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I could have gone slightly cheaper.
- 18:22[UNKNOWN]: I could have gone somewhere between 272900 for either like,
- 18:29[UNKNOWN]: nonstop on a shitty airline and american which I did up that once I fucking hate american airlines I don't think don't want to do that again nonstop on united which I think is a little bit of an american I haven't taken it forever, but it's a way more inconvenient location or big because I have to go all the way to Jeff
- 18:44[UNKNOWN]: Okay, all the way to Newark, which takes fuckin' forever for me for RAM, or I could have done Delta with a stop, which Delta, again, is better than the other American Airlines, but they don't have a non-stop service from New York to Tokyo, so I had to do a stop and see it Minneapolis, and that was the one that would say the least one, I think it was still like 2,900.
- 19:06[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, none of this was like worthwhile to me to save that tiny amount of money, A&A, at least their economy is legitimately great, you know, Dem and JAL both great.
- 19:14[UNKNOWN]: JAL's a little better but JAL wanted like 3300 for those states, I'm like, no, JAL's better than A&A, it's not $300, it's better than A&A.
- 19:21[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, that was why, but yeah, that's how I ended up paying the, I paid the Japanese airline premium.
- 19:30[UNKNOWN]: because it just wasn't worth it to me to save 200 bucks or whatever to fucking fly American or fly out of a Newark or whatever.
- 19:37[UNKNOWN]: So, but yeah, the Air Force fucking expensive at that time of years, especially.
- 19:42[UNKNOWN]: You know, other times here, and I couldn't left, if I loved after Christmas, like I did last time, last year I would have been cheaper.
- 19:49[UNKNOWN]: I think I could have gotten, like,
- 19:53[UNKNOWN]: But like I really wanted to go to the marvellous cork and on the 20th, the two new Japan Rototogidum cork and I never gone to before and the start of New Year's Eve cork.
- 20:03[UNKNOWN]: That's that's pretty, it's a Christmas Eve cork and so I wanted to be there that week before Christmas.
- 20:08[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 20:09[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's expensive.
- 20:10[UNKNOWN]: I set it up.
- 20:11[UNKNOWN]: That's what I work for, I guess.
- 20:13[UNKNOWN]: So I can blow away too much money on these Japan trips.
- 20:16[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I don't know where we got on that.
- 20:20[UNKNOWN]: Oh, because we're talking about the budget and me doing the panel.
- 20:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the panel, you know, the panel's done.
- 20:26[UNKNOWN]: I spent so much long, so much time writing and editing these notes, which is very silly because I'm barely going to look at them while I'm doing the actual panel.
- 20:36[UNKNOWN]: Like, really, because I know from experience from doing the panel, like, I barely end up looking at the notes for this panel, in particular.
- 20:43[UNKNOWN]: But like, I guess part of the reason why I know the material so well is because I do, you know, I write and edit the notes so much, you know?
- 20:50[UNKNOWN]: So that kind of ends up being, like, part of the prep.
- 20:53[UNKNOWN]: Like, it's not a useless part of the prep, you know what I'm saying?
- 20:57[UNKNOWN]: But, I mean, you've, have you ever done of anime campaign, or I can't remember?
- 21:00[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
- 21:00[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 21:00[UNKNOWN]: Do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you, or do you
- 21:06[UNKNOWN]: 7.8 years ago would have been the last time I've done a panel.
- 21:09[UNKNOWN]: What was the panel on?
- 21:12[UNKNOWN]: Um, it was basically anime recommendations.
- 21:15[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah.
- 21:16[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 21:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 21:17[UNKNOWN]: Just here's some somewhat obscure anime you may or may not have seen.
- 21:21[UNKNOWN]: Here's why I should watch it.
- 21:23[UNKNOWN]: Did you, um, did you like do the same thing?
- 21:28[UNKNOWN]: Like a lot of notes for the not actually read them during the panel?
- 21:30[UNKNOWN]: Like the, that's how I ended up prepping.
- 21:33[UNKNOWN]: again it's been seven eight years so I don't quite remember the process.
- 21:38[UNKNOWN]: I believe clips were involved.
- 21:42[UNKNOWN]: I remember agonizing over the list a bit.
- 21:45[UNKNOWN]: No, no, I didn't do a clip.
- 21:47[UNKNOWN]: I always agonized here for like music video panels, especially.
- 21:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but otherwise.
- 21:52[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it was, I think
- 21:58[UNKNOWN]: suspect it was primarily extemporaneous with maybe some notes.
- 22:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I have two panels at ColossalCon, I also have my wacky music video panel.
- 22:12[UNKNOWN]: So if you're there, if you're there Saturday at midnight, I think, or maybe it's Friday, but I don't know, it's one of the two.
- 22:17[UNKNOWN]: Then you know, maybe you can come watch some really funny and often disturbing music videos with me.
- 22:25[UNKNOWN]: But that one's in a normal size panel room, thankfully, not these giant rooms.
- 22:29[UNKNOWN]: So we'll say, you never gone to a colossal college, I know they have some of them Midwest.
- 22:34[UNKNOWN]: No, I've never heard of colossal con.
- 22:36[UNKNOWN]: It's been a long time.
- 22:37[UNKNOWN]: It's gone in one year out the other, you know?
- 22:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think to lots of clon prime is in Ohio, that's like the original one, so I call it prime and it's like spread all over like there's one at there's one in Virginia, there's one in the poking nose, which is the one I'm going to a classified east is one in Texas, I think there's a there's one in Wisconsin, but they basically like they they have a deal with like the calahari, which is like the I don't know if you've heard of that, but there's like a bunch of indoor water parks that are all over now in America and so you basically get like an anime con, but also get to go to the water park.
- 23:10[UNKNOWN]: Oh!
- 23:10[UNKNOWN]: That sounds pretty fun.
- 23:12[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 23:12[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 23:13[UNKNOWN]: So like if you buy a room at the con, a con itself that comes with a water park at access, which is cool.
- 23:20[UNKNOWN]: The room blocks are incredibly competitive as a result.
- 23:22[UNKNOWN]: I was lucky I was able to get on.
- 23:26[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, there's also like a night swim, you have to pay extra for, but it goes I think like 10 during the 2 a.m. and like you can use the water sides at night and then there's like a DJ in there apparently.
- 23:35[UNKNOWN]: So it sounds pretty cool.
- 23:36[UNKNOWN]: Oh.
- 23:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that sounds pretty cool.
- 23:39[UNKNOWN]: Going to do that at least one night, but the schedule looks really good.
- 23:42[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know if I'm going to do it that.
- 23:43[UNKNOWN]: I might not do it at all, because the late night schedule is really there's a lot of cool looking stuff on it.
- 23:47[UNKNOWN]: Honestly, the schedule looks significantly better than the old Acon schedule did, which is funny because it's a waste follower comment on Acon.
- 23:53[UNKNOWN]: But it's very funny.
- 23:55[UNKNOWN]: It's very a weeb of you to consider.
- 23:58[UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to go hang out outside with the giant water slide in the big wave pool
- 24:07[UNKNOWN]: and all that other cool stuff.
- 24:09[UNKNOWN]: Now I want to go inside and just watch panels all day.
- 24:12[UNKNOWN]: Now, to be fair, the water park also is indoors.
- 24:15[UNKNOWN]: But points don't take it for that too.
- 24:19[UNKNOWN]: Now, the daytime, I definitely am going to use it during the daytime for sure, but like the daytime especially, there's just less panels and stuff, and it's already included, but like daytime at the back extra for that, basically.
- 24:37[UNKNOWN]: So like that's part of it.
- 24:42[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's a I'm excited for that.
- 24:44[UNKNOWN]: That's like four weeks from tomorrow for the four weeks and Wednesdays and recording this, but then we're going down.
- 24:50[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, it's it's a four day comment.
- 24:52[UNKNOWN]: It's just so so few of those I was a little surprised when I saw it was a four day con actually, but
- 24:59[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'll be cool.
- 25:00[UNKNOWN]: I'm not going back to Otacon.
- 25:01[UNKNOWN]: In fact, today was the day of the Otacon block opening.
- 25:06[UNKNOWN]: And the Otacon hotel block, I mean, for next year, it was the first day.
- 25:11[UNKNOWN]: The first day of forever, I wasn't like scrambling trying to get a room in the fucking Otacon hotel 100 games that they do now, but I was very relaxed.
- 25:19[UNKNOWN]: Like, I don't have to worry about that anymore.
- 25:21[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I don't know.
- 25:22[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it was my episode last week, but I fucking like hated Otacon this year.
- 25:27[UNKNOWN]: uh... yeah i remember hearing that uh... at what do you watch a lot of anime i find that with how much rustling our watch i have a very hard time making yeah i don't know much anime yeah i don't watch that much anime anymore like a little bit but like you know there's definitely whole seasons where i don't watch anything and there's some seasons where i watch like one or two shows but i i hope there's been a couple seasons i watch anything
- 25:50[UNKNOWN]: But I mean, I mean, there have been, I go through his parents, I don't really watch any anime, and I still have plenty, I still usually like the cons, and I don't know, like, the con this year, just, it was like, the schedule was really bad to me, like, and the ones I went, the ones I did finally go to were mostly really bad.
- 26:07[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 26:08[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, just not a good.
- 26:09[UNKNOWN]: The constant going downhill for a while in my opinion.
- 26:11[UNKNOWN]: Other than the game, the game room is amazing.
- 26:13[UNKNOWN]: The game was gotten better than ever, if anything.
- 26:15[UNKNOWN]: But I cannot justify going all the way down there and spending the incredibly high amount of money they charge for their hotels, you know, to just go to a game room.
- 26:26[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's not worth it.
- 26:27[UNKNOWN]: I could go to MagFast instead if I want to do it, go to an excellent game room.
- 26:31[UNKNOWN]: But.
- 26:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know, it's just like not owed a con, maybe I'll give them like a year off and try again the following year and see if they get any better.
- 26:41[UNKNOWN]: I talked about in the episode last week, the last draw to that for me was they fired their excellent AMV theater coordinator and like not like a, it was a sound like a fucking bullshit fucking power play basically.
- 26:55[UNKNOWN]: And you know, it just looked at people who run the con now, just they kind of do whatever they want.
- 27:00[UNKNOWN]: like they just kind of like like okay one of the people there loves k-pop one of the people who does the guest thing so he brings out with his k-pop band which doesn't sound like a bad idea in theory but i don't think like real k-pop bands that people know are not going to overcome for what i understand i'm not a k-pop person so i don't know but like so they brought a person who is most
- 27:20[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so well, so I know people who go to that concert because like one of my friends there goes to everything Basically like you know, we're not miss a concert, but every ever since this K-pop thing started every year I'm like did anyone actually shop is like now it was like more than half empty because again Because no one gives you shit about the pop anime anime fan, especially not the K-pop fans.
- 27:39[UNKNOWN]: They're getting.
- 27:39[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 27:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that sounds like a mistake Somebody on the staff loves K-pop.
- 27:44[UNKNOWN]: So now one of the two concerts slots every year has to go to K-pop
- 27:47[UNKNOWN]: Um, someone on the, someone on the staff loves dolls, so they put these, these doll panels in these giant rooms and every year like it doesn't people show up apparently like that's another example I know because one of my friends, I like I say border friend of a friend, but he, he actually is like a big doll person like the, you know, the Japanese anime dolls or whatever and he puts on some of those panels, but no, but they put him, he even he's like, I don't know why they put me in the biggest room because like 15 people show up.
- 28:15[UNKNOWN]: And like that's the kind of, and they make that totally decision year after year, like this is like a third straight year of that.
- 28:21[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, and they stay, they don't pick up my panels anymore.
- 28:25[UNKNOWN]: Obviously it's part of why I don't like to program in department.
- 28:28[UNKNOWN]: But like, you know, it's just kind of, they don't make good decisions.
- 28:31[UNKNOWN]: A lot of the panelists they bring in are really bad and or they end their panels really early, which is kind of crazy to me.
- 28:38[UNKNOWN]: Because I, I never had that problem when I was a parent.
- 28:44[UNKNOWN]: They started on time, it was okay.
- 28:48[UNKNOWN]: I wouldn't say it was a great power.
- 28:49[UNKNOWN]: I think it was going like, you know, whatever.
- 28:50[UNKNOWN]: It's a lot of like, I know all the stuff on the screen console already.
- 28:53[UNKNOWN]: It wasn't time editing, interesting, or doing anything interesting, material.
- 28:56[UNKNOWN]: 25 minutes into the pound time.
- 28:59[UNKNOWN]: The guy is like, well, we're pretty much done now.
- 29:01[UNKNOWN]: So now we're going to do trivia.
- 29:03[UNKNOWN]: And then they start the trivia questions.
- 29:04[UNKNOWN]: The trivia is basically like, were you paying attention during our panel?
- 29:08[UNKNOWN]: Like it was asking questions.
- 29:10[UNKNOWN]: It's not actual trivia like Fishing Consenters.
- 29:12[UNKNOWN]: It was like, you know, oh, what is the, what's the highest plastic of train on the fucking Tokido called, which anyone would know that if they know anything about the Shinkansen, but they also covered that in the panel.
- 29:24[UNKNOWN]: So it's basically just, did you pay attention during our panel?
- 29:26[UNKNOWN]: They, they admitted that.
- 29:27[UNKNOWN]: They were like, oh, it's just basically just to pay attention during the panel.
- 29:30[UNKNOWN]: Like then what is appointed this?
- 29:31[UNKNOWN]: Said, then what is appointed in this trivia?
- 29:33[UNKNOWN]: So I left at that point, and my friend who saved was like, yeah, they did like 10 minutes of basic trivia that like 10 minutes of Q and A, which nobody had a question, and then they just send it, I'm like, okay, so they basically did a 25 minute panel.
- 29:47[UNKNOWN]: And I'm like, if you give somebody, if you give panelists an hour, and they can't even come close to playing the hour with actual material, it's pretty fucking bad.
- 29:55[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what the fuck they're doing with that, because I always have the opposite problem with my panels.
- 29:59[UNKNOWN]: I can never get all the stuff I want into the hour.
- 30:02[UNKNOWN]: And you know, I'm sure that can be annoying sometimes too, and it's on the way.
- 30:07[UNKNOWN]: But I can't imagine people walk away, feeling like, why did I even bother, like, wasting my time on this going to this panel?
- 30:14[UNKNOWN]: Like they thank you one if you fucking go to our panelists over in like 25 minutes or 30 minutes or even 40 minutes so I don't know like the panel quality has gotten really bad so many people Read their slides verbatim now, which I don't understand how that got started.
- 30:31[UNKNOWN]: I think that's been a problem forever as long as there's been power point.
- 30:35[UNKNOWN]: Real silly see I don't remember it being this much of a problem in the like the 20 times Oh, it could be it's gotten a lot worse.
- 30:41[UNKNOWN]: I haven't been to a few other stages That's what I'm saying.
- 30:43[UNKNOWN]: I think it's gotten way worse now everybody put like paragraphs of fucking tiny text up on their slides And they read the slides for verbatim like besides the fact that if you're in the real river We can't read the fucking side anyway It boggles my mind like you should be able to do like a logical You know think of a logic here, okay?
- 31:04[UNKNOWN]: If you're just putting text on a screen and reading it verbatim, all you're doing is inviting your audience to read the text fast for the new reading is and get bored waiting for you to finish.
- 31:16[UNKNOWN]: That's why any presentations were a one.
- 31:20[UNKNOWN]: You know, any public speaking one or one would tell you not to do that for that reason.
- 31:24[UNKNOWN]: So, I wonder if the problem has got worse because of tools like chat, GPT.
- 31:29[UNKNOWN]: Hmm.
- 31:30[UNKNOWN]: maybe like they're they're reading off of the slides like that because they don't have a lot of or confidence in their expertise in the topic so they just read the slides that chatchipytee generated for them
- 31:46[UNKNOWN]: Even if you actually are fucking trying to cheat the con out of a, you know, a bad reimbursement and do fingers the case a lot of the time, you still shouldn't do that.
- 31:54[UNKNOWN]: You should just like have chat to be cheap generate you fucking notes and put a fucking slide up there that's just an image or just a bunch of topics and then in fucking tell that you don't give the notes verbally.
- 32:07[UNKNOWN]: Don't put the notes on the fucking screen, like that's fucking stupid.
- 32:11[UNKNOWN]: So, I don't know if everybody does it now, it's really a drive-in fucking crazy.
- 32:14[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if I people do it.
- 32:15[UNKNOWN]: I shouldn't say everybody.
- 32:16[UNKNOWN]: It's not everybody, but a lot of people do it.
- 32:19[UNKNOWN]: Maybe people just aren't aware or also that PowerPoint does give you the tools to put paragraphs and paragraphs of text on the screen where you can see it on your laptop, but what you're projecting won't show to the audience.
- 32:33[UNKNOWN]: That is true.
- 32:33[UNKNOWN]: Don't know if you never know that that's an option.
- 32:36[UNKNOWN]: I never use it though because I don't really like the way it looks on it.
- 32:40[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 32:40[UNKNOWN]: No, I don't know.
- 32:41[UNKNOWN]: It looks kind of ugly.
- 32:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I just put it.
- 32:43[UNKNOWN]: I just put all my notes on, like I just use a second screen.
- 32:46[UNKNOWN]: I put all my notes on my iPad.
- 32:49[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I don't know.
- 32:50[UNKNOWN]: It's very, it's very bad panels and just, you know, how to fit.
- 32:54[UNKNOWN]: Like, I remember sitting there on Sunday and being like, most of the time I spent at this con has been in this hotel room with a friend of the watching wrestling and recording, and they're like drinking.
- 33:04[UNKNOWN]: So like, why am I, I don't need the con to do any of that.
- 33:07[UNKNOWN]: So it's like really stupid to keep spending the money in the con.
- 33:12[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, I guess that's what's been up for me.
- 33:14[UNKNOWN]: I spent my money.
- 33:15[UNKNOWN]: So if you, if you missed that week's episode, uh, there was your recap of how much you haven't had so to con now.
- 33:21[UNKNOWN]: This is like, when you were watching Dragon Ball Z, and they were trying to fill in the episodes and stretch out the content.
- 33:28[UNKNOWN]: So they filled like three fourths of it of a recap of the last episode.
- 33:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I guess that was a little redundant, but the point is, colossal economy matters.
- 33:38[UNKNOWN]: And my panel actually be there, so you should come see it.
- 33:42[UNKNOWN]: Oh, the other thing I want to write, let me, let me rant about one more thing before you get an act or else I got 32 minutes, all right.
- 33:47[UNKNOWN]: All right, Lewis Black, go for it.
- 33:51[UNKNOWN]: Why the fuck do people not understand how our Hades are supposed to work anymore?
- 33:57[UNKNOWN]: Specifically, rhythm games.
- 34:00[UNKNOWN]: This happened to me at Oticon, and this keeps having to be, they opened this new arcade, this new arcade called Gacha.
- 34:05[UNKNOWN]: It's like a little mini arcade chain.
- 34:08[UNKNOWN]: In Manhattan, so if I won the most centralized occasion for an arcade in Eons, it's like right in the middle of Ktown, like 32nd and 5th.
- 34:16[UNKNOWN]: So it's a great location for me personally, because I can, you know, I'm gonna go in my office way more now, because it's like a blue blocks of my office.
- 34:22[UNKNOWN]: So I can go to my go to work act like I'm being a model employee, going in like once a week, and go play chute them, you know, after work.
- 34:29[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it's, you know, it's right there on that block, it's very close to Penn Station too, so it's a very, very high foot find block or foot traffic, I should say.
- 34:39[UNKNOWN]: So it's getting a lot of newbies, which is fine.
- 34:41[UNKNOWN]: You know, we're all newbies, some point.
- 34:44[UNKNOWN]: You know, that's fine.
- 34:44[UNKNOWN]: They're playing their basic songs and make me wait for them.
- 34:46[UNKNOWN]: But whatever, and there's three machines there.
- 34:49[UNKNOWN]: So I still rotate it pretty fast.
- 34:51[UNKNOWN]: But for some fucking reason, you get to the arcade, you see other people giving up their machine after each game for the next person waiting.
- 35:01[UNKNOWN]: Why the fuck would you think that you're a special and you don't have to do that?
- 35:04[UNKNOWN]: I don't understand it.
- 35:05[UNKNOWN]: Because it happened to be twice in a row now.
- 35:07[UNKNOWN]: The first time I didn't say anything, because I don't really like starting public conversations.
- 35:10[UNKNOWN]: I didn't really, there was another, the first right next to them was on their last song.
- 35:14[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, I'm like, I just wait for that on whatever.
- 35:16[UNKNOWN]: But the second time on Sunday, I was coming back from my dad's, there's a big gap between the train and the bus.
- 35:21[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, oh, this is perfect.
- 35:22[UNKNOWN]: Now I have this arcade to go to.
- 35:24[UNKNOWN]: I can play a couple games where I get the bus.
- 35:27[UNKNOWN]: I play one game, I rotate off like you're supposed to do for the next person to play and I wait for the next one to come available and this girl finishes her three songs, she's not moving.
- 35:38[UNKNOWN]: She's talking to her friend, I'm standing there waiting, I'm like okay, I really want to play this game one more time for the buscums, can we move this along?
- 35:44[UNKNOWN]: I didn't say that loud, I'm just like thinking and then I hear her ask her friend, where's the card?
- 35:48[UNKNOWN]: I want to play another one.
- 35:50[UNKNOWN]: and I'm like, excuse me, I'm waiting, no answer.
- 35:52[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, excuse me, I'm waiting, nothing.
- 35:54[UNKNOWN]: She's either ignore me or actually can't hear me because there's loud in there.
- 35:57[UNKNOWN]: Finally, I thought, tap her on the fucking shoulder.
- 35:59[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, I'm waiting for this machine.
- 36:00[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry, I sounded annoyed at this point.
- 36:02[UNKNOWN]: And she's like, well, I want to play another one.
- 36:07[UNKNOWN]: You want to play another one.
- 36:09[UNKNOWN]: I want to see it here and play for the rest of my fucking life That if we all want to keep fucking play this entire fucking point That's why you rotate off somebody else can play So I just fucking tell him like that's not how our cage is supposed to work.
- 36:20[UNKNOWN]: You're supposed to you know Give up the machine the next person line and get back in line and wait your turn and she's like I'm sure I'm being very again being very bitchy at this point
- 36:30[UNKNOWN]: how is that answer to I'm waiting to play this?
- 36:33[UNKNOWN]: I want to play another one.
- 36:34[UNKNOWN]: Even if you don't understand you somehow didn't pay attention enough to see other people you know are rotating off.
- 36:41[UNKNOWN]: The concept of a line is really that foreign to you.
- 36:45[UNKNOWN]: You didn't go to fucking kindergarten where you learned about sharing?
- 36:48[UNKNOWN]: And so she gives me the dirtiest fucking luck, she fucking stands there forever as if she's deciding what not she's actually gonna do this.
- 36:54[UNKNOWN]: Finally, after like two minutes of that, she, she fucking relents and moves off the machine and like storms out the whole arcade, which is funny because somebody else was on her second song, she would've waited two more songs she could have played another one probably.
- 37:04[UNKNOWN]: But whatever, all that entire fucking song and dance almost didn't mean that I fucking bust, too, because I'd like run for the bust at that point.
- 37:13[UNKNOWN]: I would have plenty of time if little missing titles had decided that she was going to try to play another game, but and then talk and argue with me about it.
- 37:21[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I'm just like, that's a pit.
- 37:24[UNKNOWN]: If you go to a fucking arcade and you want to play a fucking random game,
- 37:28[UNKNOWN]: You know, by all means, all new newcomers welcome, but just understand, you finish your three fucking songs.
- 37:34[UNKNOWN]: The thing says, see you next play, and there's somebody behind your waiting.
- 37:38[UNKNOWN]: It's time to get off the fucking machine.
- 37:40[UNKNOWN]: Not a complicated concept.
- 37:41[UNKNOWN]: So yeah.
- 37:43[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 37:44[UNKNOWN]: Oh yeah.
- 37:45[UNKNOWN]: That's rude.
- 37:46[UNKNOWN]: That's rude.
- 37:46[UNKNOWN]: I agree.
- 37:47[UNKNOWN]: What?
- 37:48[UNKNOWN]: That's not knowing.
- 37:51[UNKNOWN]: Oh, sorry.
- 37:51[UNKNOWN]: I just want to add this.
- 37:52[UNKNOWN]: Besides, I just not knowing.
- 37:53[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I used to play DDR during like the DDR boom.
- 37:57[UNKNOWN]: Or you see get newbies fighting DDR all the time.
- 37:59[UNKNOWN]: Somehow they always fucking knew.
- 38:01[UNKNOWN]: I don't think this ever happened once with DDR.
- 38:03[UNKNOWN]: They always fucking knew they have to give the fuck a machine for the next person.
- 38:06[UNKNOWN]: Why?
- 38:07[UNKNOWN]: So why this is something happening now with newbies to chew them and sample text, too, and then, uh, uh, uh, at, uh, at Odecon.
- 38:13[UNKNOWN]: Like, our zoomers just fucking stupid.
- 38:16[UNKNOWN]: Our zoomers just fucking dumbasses.
- 38:18[UNKNOWN]: You don't understand you're supposed to rotate off a machine because again, I never had this problem with DDR back in the day with newbies.
- 38:24[UNKNOWN]: So anyway, your whole, that's right, zoomers, your whole generation.
- 38:27[UNKNOWN]: You're fucking dumb.
- 38:28[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 38:29[UNKNOWN]: I was going to say that seems a bit harsh for a whole generation.
- 38:31[UNKNOWN]: It's very boomer of you to throw a whole generation under a level because one teenager was annoying.
- 38:37[UNKNOWN]: It's like three in a week and a week and a half.
- 38:41[UNKNOWN]: It's like three of them.
- 38:42[UNKNOWN]: Wait, so this happened to you three times to three different people?
- 38:45[UNKNOWN]: Yes, three times to the other people.
- 38:47[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 38:48[UNKNOWN]: Twice it, twice it, gotcha, and once it owed a con.
- 38:51[UNKNOWN]: Well, he didn't know they were supposed to rotate off.
- 38:56[UNKNOWN]: This reminds me about something that I kind of miss about arcade culture, um, that is gone now that, uh, it seems like every arcade depends on card swipes like round one does, um, instead of actual coins.
- 39:12[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 39:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, putting your coin down right next to whoever's playing at the moment and saying I got next.
- 39:19[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, well, I say I used to do a DDR tier now.
- 39:22[UNKNOWN]: I'm thinking about it.
- 39:23[UNKNOWN]: That's probably why.
- 39:24[UNKNOWN]: Nobody, nobody, everybody.
- 39:25[UNKNOWN]: That may be an element here.
- 39:26[UNKNOWN]: Like a physical reminder to someone that Hey, somebody's in line behind you because I have been guilty of playing an at an arcade and not noticing that somebody's behind me.
- 39:35[UNKNOWN]: Well, I have music layering and my attention is like, but you don't need to be an asshole about it.
- 39:41[UNKNOWN]: When someone taps you on the shoulder and say, excuse me,
- 39:44[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so Rick, you know, the original sin here isn't that she didn't notice that I was waiting for exactly.
- 39:50[UNKNOWN]: It was that when I told her I was next, she fucking hadn't answered about it.
- 39:53[UNKNOWN]: It was something where I wanted to play again.
- 39:55[UNKNOWN]: Well, you can see shit if you wanted to play again.
- 39:57[UNKNOWN]: If it was the days where there's nobody else at the arcade, and I could just stand there and play eight games throughout.
- 40:03[UNKNOWN]: Yes, those are the best, but those are rare days.
- 40:06[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I don't fucking just stand there playing eight games throughout.
- 40:09[UNKNOWN]: There's fucking people behind me because that would be an asshole thing to do.
- 40:12[UNKNOWN]: And eventually I'll probably get my ass kept.
- 40:14[UNKNOWN]: which I'm just like, it's a fucking, and she's honestly lucky that I was the one who tapped her on the shoulder and not someone who's gonna be a way bigger jerk off about it.
- 40:22[UNKNOWN]: So, I'm not saying a guy would have kicked her ass, maybe a girl would have had it now.
- 40:26[UNKNOWN]: She read the game players go fucking hard, I don't have to tell ya.
- 40:29[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 40:31[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, it's just very, like, just don't, just don't do that.
- 40:35[UNKNOWN]: So if you want, if you want to get into the wild world of rhythm gaming, just learn to share, sharing is caring as the, as the care bears would say, what's the care bears?
- 40:44[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 40:45[UNKNOWN]: Somebody said sharing is caring.
- 40:48[UNKNOWN]: Do you ever try any of those phone rhythm games like a love live with a new whole alive rhythm game?
- 40:55[UNKNOWN]: I saw someone playing the whole live rhythm game when I was sitting at the waiting for my trains train home from Oticon and from D.C. and I remember thinking like it looked a lot like you at the end for thinking, I bet I should try that.
- 41:11[UNKNOWN]: But I used to play a lot of live one.
- 41:18[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 41:20[UNKNOWN]: So I was thinking about the, I might maybe I'll start playing the whole live one.
- 41:25[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, the thing too, was like vocal boy is like the one music genre, like one weeb genre that doesn't really exist in tune with the M or sound ball text.
- 41:34[UNKNOWN]: Like there's one Konami, and what is the two I play?
- 41:37[UNKNOWN]: There's like this one more obscure Konami rhythm game that has either made it for either America, and I don't think it's very popular in Japan, so either I said, I don't think it's gonna pass that long, but they do have some vocaloid songs.
- 41:48[UNKNOWN]: or America's going to get even sooner because it's not popular in Japan.
- 41:54[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 41:55[UNKNOWN]: The hollow.
- 41:55[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the, uh, the hollow like songs.
- 41:58[UNKNOWN]: They have somehow life songs on that game.
- 42:00[UNKNOWN]: Oh, okay.
- 42:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 42:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 42:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 42:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 42:03[UNKNOWN]: So that, but that was only in Japan and it's not very hard.
- 42:05[UNKNOWN]: Well, there's just like a licensing agreement that limits that because I have seen
- 42:13[UNKNOWN]: rhythm games at the round one arcade when we were there in Chicago.
- 42:16[UNKNOWN]: There was one where you touched the screen and you're supposed to like follow the same movements.
- 42:22[UNKNOWN]: I think that the idol is doing so they had na na up there kind of demonstrating how it's done and so on the gigantic touch screen.
- 42:30[UNKNOWN]: Oh, wow, you like the title?
- 42:32[UNKNOWN]: No, I don't.
- 42:33[UNKNOWN]: I think sound voltage also had a couple older hololive songs or at least the one in Chicago did.
- 42:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, there's a few, but it's just not, like, okay, there's a lot of big categories of songs that are in both soundball texts and tune them.
- 42:52[UNKNOWN]: Like they have a ton of Toho, they have a ton of vocaloid, and they have a ton of anime theme songs, especially tune them.
- 42:59[UNKNOWN]: Shoot them, shoot them, it was more of that than the other one.
- 43:04[UNKNOWN]: And they both have like a bunch of random like, I don't know what I would call these,
- 43:11[UNKNOWN]: I would say like stuff that like something would hear at Mowra how about that's a good way to play it.
- 43:17[UNKNOWN]: But that's just more just it's not really tied to anything but they don't have a ton of you know of the you know the the whole life songs it's not really a thing so you know they could a few of them like you said but not that many but I say I want to see if I can find this
- 43:42[UNKNOWN]: Is there a real, okay?
- 43:46[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, what are you looking for?
- 43:48[UNKNOWN]: The arcade game you're talking about?
- 43:52[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I saw it round one.
- 43:53[UNKNOWN]: Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Connect, I think, might be it.
- 43:57[UNKNOWN]: That might be it, yeah.
- 43:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, because I'm looking at a picture of it.
- 43:59[UNKNOWN]: It looks just like you described it with a big screen and then you're like kind of reach out to the screen.
- 44:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that looks cool.
- 44:06[UNKNOWN]: Maybe I have to try that.
- 44:07[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it's in the round.
- 44:08[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it's in the round one.
- 44:11[UNKNOWN]: I got to say I think he were just so zoned in on tuning them that you didn't notice that that machine was like right behind you
- 44:18[UNKNOWN]: That's exactly where it was placed.
- 44:20[UNKNOWN]: That was sound, that was sound, that was soundvoltax actually at that one.
- 44:23[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, yeah, it was because you can't play to them around one in America.
- 44:28[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you can, but it was a very bad idea to.
- 44:29[UNKNOWN]: Oh, soundvolta, oh, okay, gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha
- 44:45[UNKNOWN]: You can't really play the official release in the actual round ones.
- 44:50[UNKNOWN]: There's no point in playing it, but you want to play the happy birthday song, also the generic.
- 44:54[UNKNOWN]: The song list is like 115th of the actual song list for something.
- 44:57[UNKNOWN]: It's so ridiculous.
- 44:59[UNKNOWN]: So, for a sample text in round ones, officially has every single song, basically.
- 45:04[UNKNOWN]: There may be a couple messing here or there, but it's basically the same as the Japanese version.
- 45:08[UNKNOWN]: So, anyway.
- 45:11[UNKNOWN]: Nobody cares about the game.
- 45:12[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know why we're going on this one's detail, but the point is fuck these fuck these Zoomers who need to learn to how to take the fucking turn.
- 45:19[UNKNOWN]: That's really the point here but All right, bring back the coins so you can place them on the coins machine and say I don't know There's someone is really the hard to look around it.
- 45:30[UNKNOWN]: You know what I do when I look behind me If there's someone say in there I go I make a little point like are you gonna play this and they just say yes or no?
- 45:37[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 45:38[UNKNOWN]: What's that that fucking hard?
- 45:39[UNKNOWN]: It's not that hard, but also it's, I think it's helpful to also think of material reasons how you can more subtly change people's behavior.
- 45:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
- 45:51[UNKNOWN]: None of the better in 70 problems.
- 45:52[UNKNOWN]: It's always easy to fucking do these.
- 45:53[UNKNOWN]: It seems to never be able to understand it, so.
- 45:56[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 45:57[UNKNOWN]: That's what we're all about here at Russell Omikase, Gatekeeping.
- 46:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, like if you're going to be a nice newbie, it's fine, but if you're going to be an asshole newbie, then go take your fucking level three songs that you're playing on one action fucking take a hike.
- 46:13[UNKNOWN]: There you go.
- 46:15[UNKNOWN]: I don't need to, I don't need to watch you fucking play the same song three times in a row for some fucking reason.
- 46:19[UNKNOWN]: Get the fucking out of here.
- 46:22[UNKNOWN]: I wasn't that like I was watching a play anyway, there's just there was another girl who was really really good.
- 46:25[UNKNOWN]: I was watching her play choose killing at that machine.
- 46:30[UNKNOWN]: But.
- 46:31[UNKNOWN]: I'm able to do 14 the sound finally into the am I finally getting to like an actual van slow.
- 46:35[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
- 46:37[UNKNOWN]: Sample text you actually.
- 46:38[UNKNOWN]: I think I just passed it by 14 the first time, but yeah, I mean, there's still way more to go because I mean, it keeps going up.
- 46:44[UNKNOWN]: It just keeps going up and up and there, but, you know.
- 46:47[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how some of these, I watch some of these people do like these fucking the hardest songs in Sample text and tune with them just like, are you like a robot?
- 46:54[UNKNOWN]: I don't understand how they do it, but I don't know.
- 47:00[UNKNOWN]: Let's go to some actual wrestling.
- 47:01[UNKNOWN]: Start them.
- 47:03[UNKNOWN]: That is the first first we're going to talk about, which was the five star grandfrey in Cork and Hall, Monday, August 3rd,
- 47:15[UNKNOWN]: So it was down about a hundred fans from the July 28th Corican, which did a Starlight Kid and Sia on top, obviously only six days apart here.
- 47:29[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it's not really a show from last years to compare it to because it's only run one block or a last year or so of the two.
- 47:34[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I guess you could say that one Corgan last year did only 1,024 that one block Corgan.
- 47:41[UNKNOWN]: So despite doing two of them, they still beat it by, you know, 250 or almost 250 fans.
- 47:48[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, not a not a bad result or anything.
- 47:50[UNKNOWN]: It's a one day tough tough day to draw on Yeah, making make it some excuses here for started, but wasn't you know this number Whenever I give these numbers on my god, I wasn't that kind of a number.
- 47:59[UNKNOWN]: I think they were to kill for this number like three years ago, so you know Uh, the opener was a non-torment match.
- 48:07[UNKNOWN]: Now if you've been skipping these non-torment matches first of all How dare you since they've mostly involved in that support and she's retiring soon
- 48:14[UNKNOWN]: Second of all also there's not that many of them.
- 48:16[UNKNOWN]: There's usually one or two per show and there's not even some shows don't have any but yeah one or one or two at most But yeah, so first of all how dare you second of all you got to go back and watch this one because this was better than more a lot of the tournament matches That's the point be on a cannea in 1053 with the ferry rang
- 48:35[UNKNOWN]: So, Ana, when we're right at Poir from the opening bell, a drop kicks, if you just know sell them of course, they were just going to mile a minute, trading forums the chest.
- 48:44[UNKNOWN]: They both had one for flash pins.
- 48:46[UNKNOWN]: When it finally slowed down for a second, it was just so poor he could fucking cave in Poir Ana's chest with even harder forums against the robes.
- 48:54[UNKNOWN]: Um, I like the way that Ana is selling, really, you know, when the boy just like beat her ass, even as she was able to, you know, get an arm drag and a drop kick to the floor.
- 49:04[UNKNOWN]: Like she was still saying like, you know, I'm, I'm destroyed here, but I'm like, you know, getting the last or my energy here just to get some offense.
- 49:11[UNKNOWN]: She went to the top room to the dive to Poy and was, again, really signing that she was in pain.
- 49:15[UNKNOWN]: I mean, judging by some of those four forms, the chess point was starting.
- 49:19[UNKNOWN]: She probably really wasn't pain, but anyway.
- 49:21[UNKNOWN]: uh, poi almost killed her, but they snap German just for the five minute call.
- 49:25[UNKNOWN]: It's imagine just like this is pretty fucking crazy for a, uh, you know, non-tourmin opener here.
- 49:32[UNKNOWN]: And then, uh, more we got, you know, Ana was showing great fire.
- 49:37[UNKNOWN]: She, you know, she basically was like taunting, or poi was taunting on a hit or harder, no selling her forms, and then poi would, poi would take like four or five in the row, and it just rock on a with one of them, and on a again showing great fire, and then got just got killed the last one because poi is a demon.
- 49:55[UNKNOWN]: Then we have more murder point antics.
- 49:57[UNKNOWN]: She's kept beating her ass, her various strikes, and did two straight hard drop kicks of the head against the ropes.
- 50:02[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Ana, she got a chance to look good to her down the stretch.
- 50:05[UNKNOWN]: She noel sewed a German Suplex at one point.
- 50:08[UNKNOWN]: She survived poised twisting splash off the top.
- 50:11[UNKNOWN]: And then nearly even pinned to her, this wacky cradle from an electric chair position before poicked out at 2.9.
- 50:18[UNKNOWN]: But employee, it's a fucking shoot headbutt.
- 50:21[UNKNOWN]: Hell yeah.
- 50:22[UNKNOWN]: And finally, the ferry rang for the pan.
- 50:25[UNKNOWN]: Four stars from the smash.
- 50:27[UNKNOWN]: Not two boys, two four star matches on this tour, despite not being in the five star.
- 50:31[UNKNOWN]: Just fucking funny.
- 50:33[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 50:34[UNKNOWN]: I also made sure to track star ratings this time.
- 50:37[UNKNOWN]: So I went three and three quarters on this.
- 50:41[UNKNOWN]: Terrific opener.
- 50:43[UNKNOWN]: And opener that would overshadow most of the shows that I watched this week.
- 50:49[UNKNOWN]: The, um, it is delightful to watch not support, um, make sure to leave it all on the mat.
- 50:57[UNKNOWN]: So to speak, uh, with her retirement coming up, um, and here she is channeling the spirit of, uh, Tamism.
- 51:06[UNKNOWN]: Um, if I had to define what Tamism is, it is head budding your junior rookie faction mate in the opening match with mid tournament show that isn't even in the tournament.
- 51:17[UNKNOWN]: And you're doing that to reward them for their perseverance in kicking out of your first three finishes.
- 51:23[UNKNOWN]: Um, really fun match to to open the show.
- 51:28[UNKNOWN]: Um, I'd speak it of making the most of retirement run hard and theory are going to fucking go to more, uh, send diggerals and face Bob, Bob, I'm over the end of this month.
- 51:37[UNKNOWN]: I cannot fucking wait for that.
- 51:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that that sounds like a terrific match.
- 51:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, that, you know, there's a war with that ends up being my match of the year.
- 51:44[UNKNOWN]: I mean, we'll say, I mean, that two of my favorite teams, three of my favorite wrestlers ever.
- 51:49[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I like your, okay, but not the, that's a degree of poise or your, uh, me and Amona, but yeah, I mean, just should be an incredible match.
- 51:58[UNKNOWN]: Match 2, Serriano and Matoi Hamabe be Waka Sukiyama and Emma Mayshima, Serripind Emma with the pottering in 646.
- 52:07[UNKNOWN]: This was more of a whatever, you know, kind of match.
- 52:11[UNKNOWN]: The little smile on Serri's face while Waka was doing her repeated butt shots to the head was very funny.
- 52:16[UNKNOWN]: And then she like repeatedly smacked her on the butt up against the rose because of course she does.
- 52:20[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if she likes.
- 52:22[UNKNOWN]: Seems like Waka's butt a lot.
- 52:24[UNKNOWN]: uh... amma he will walk us in a bad girl hitting people with her butt like that i know amma got some nice offence and theory toward the end of this got a decent rana the misorder of right-maker spent to a sling blade for two that look kind of cool uh... she missed a second running swing sling blade though and then so we just can't be pinned to it the partering with this weird written on her face she's having a good time out there i guess i don't know she's like really finally in the fact more than usual
- 52:52[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this was a, you know, three in a quarter.
- 52:54[UNKNOWN]: It's pretty good.
- 52:57[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, I went through in a quarter as well.
- 53:00[UNKNOWN]: Um, I thought that this was a good appetizer.
- 53:04[UNKNOWN]: I like how the tag matches during the Grand Prix are kind of breaking up the rest of the card, so that it gives you a break after several intense matches.
- 53:17[UNKNOWN]: Now, here obviously, they're more setting the table.
- 53:20[UNKNOWN]: In fact, we're not going to get a tag match for the rest of the card here, but that was often the function and they kind of played exactly the kind of match that they would have in later on that week in Sapporo.
- 53:39[UNKNOWN]: I still enjoy watching Walker, by the way, I don't mind that she's not in the five star.
- 53:44[UNKNOWN]: She probably doesn't belong there using her as primarily a comedy element.
- 53:50[UNKNOWN]: in a tag matches in the five stars of perfect use for her.
- 53:54[UNKNOWN]: And I still get a hoot out of that tiny little of socket.
- 53:59[UNKNOWN]: I think every time I come on your show, I make sure to say something nice about Waka Sukiyama.
- 54:04[UNKNOWN]: It's gone.
- 54:05[UNKNOWN]: Nobody else will do it.
- 54:06[UNKNOWN]: I was just exactly what I was going to say.
- 54:07[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, if you don't do it, nobody else.
- 54:10[UNKNOWN]: I mean, she, I don't find her nearly as bad as some people do.
- 54:14[UNKNOWN]: I can't say she's like a favorite, I think.
- 54:15[UNKNOWN]: But I think she, you know, she can be funny.
- 54:18[UNKNOWN]: Her accent is very funny.
- 54:19[UNKNOWN]: I mean, a lot of it.
- 54:21[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 54:22[UNKNOWN]: It helps a lot.
- 54:22[UNKNOWN]: It helps a lot.
- 54:23[UNKNOWN]: You know how in Osomanga diet with the English dub,
- 54:26[UNKNOWN]: They famously gave a Texas accent to kind of imitate what, and a socket accent sounds like, but you listen to an a socket accent, it's like they don't really sound the same, but somehow anything like that, right?
- 54:40[UNKNOWN]: Cause a Texan accent, Southern accent, it's just, there's a lot more draw, right?
- 54:46[UNKNOWN]: Walka, I don't know, she has Texas energy.
- 54:51[UNKNOWN]: She was born into York, but she has Texas energy.
- 54:54[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how to put it.
- 54:55[UNKNOWN]: Was that your New York accent?
- 54:58[UNKNOWN]: Uh, no.
- 54:59[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 55:00[UNKNOWN]: That was my Osaka accent.
- 55:02[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I say.
- 55:03[UNKNOWN]: Well, maybe it's good at that.
- 55:04[UNKNOWN]: What's devil was a good New York accent, so I'm glad it wasn't.
- 55:07[UNKNOWN]: I can't.
- 55:08[UNKNOWN]: I can't really do a stereotypical New York accent either to be honest.
- 55:11[UNKNOWN]: Say, hey, I'm walking here.
- 55:12[UNKNOWN]: I'm walking here.
- 55:13[UNKNOWN]: Actually, I'm walking.
- 55:15[UNKNOWN]: That wasn't that bad actually.
- 55:16[UNKNOWN]: I think that's one everybody can do.
- 55:19[UNKNOWN]: uh, Hina beat Rihanna in the blue star as a block in 949 at the Mads Blash at this point Hina was two and three and report Rihanna still own five.
- 55:31[UNKNOWN]: Hina did a very good job just casually bullying the tour appears, you probably expect.
- 55:36[UNKNOWN]: But then she also sold well for the footstops, the footstops of death in the corner.
- 55:43[UNKNOWN]: It was like that exact level you wanted of like, you know, hey, this sucks without going over the top with it, like some people do.
- 55:49[UNKNOWN]: So, uh, Reon almost pinned her with a bunch of roll-ups, but he not finally blocked one and jack hammered her, only for Reon to roll right through it with a cradle that very nearly pinned her.
- 56:01[UNKNOWN]: I will say a lot of times I think people are critiquing startup too harshly or they're like looking for stuff to get mad at or whatever.
- 56:09[UNKNOWN]: The critique that they're doing that spot too much in the fire star is pretty legitimate.
- 56:13[UNKNOWN]: You know, I just took your finish here, but I'm going to roll through and try to pin you anyway.
- 56:17[UNKNOWN]: They are obsessed with that spot right now.
- 56:20[UNKNOWN]: I feel like it happens like three times a show.
- 56:23[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and it feels like there's a right way to do it too, but that's not quite what's happening.
- 56:29[UNKNOWN]: Um, where it should look like a dead cat bounce right.
- 56:32[UNKNOWN]: I think you talked about this before on the podcast where yeah, sometimes it doesn't matter.
- 56:36[UNKNOWN]: Doesn't it certainly.
- 56:37[UNKNOWN]: I'm more blessed.
- 56:37[UNKNOWN]: We're going to talk about yep.
- 56:40[UNKNOWN]: I think for this this one though.
- 56:44[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it didn't quite work, but I don't know.
- 56:47[UNKNOWN]: Well, you go on ahead and finish up recapping.
- 56:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so Hena, he now I think also forgot to kick out for a second because the refs pit pods so long on that roll up out of the jackhammer.
- 56:57[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Hena, though, kind of killed her with a roaring forearm, then a magic screw used in the ropes, Rina kicked out, and then Hena finished with a match flash, not long after.
- 57:05[UNKNOWN]: Other than that little complaint, I thought this is a hell of a little match, I went three and a half on it.
- 57:10[UNKNOWN]: It was a good match here, Rina, Hena, I don't really know, Hena.
- 57:12[UNKNOWN]: Well, if she's having a good dorm of two, Hena's having a hell of a tournament.
- 57:15[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 57:16[UNKNOWN]: Yep, Tina's having a hell of a tournament.
- 57:18[UNKNOWN]: Rian has also been really good.
- 57:20[UNKNOWN]: I thought this was her best match with the tournament so far.
- 57:23[UNKNOWN]: I went three and three quarters.
- 57:25[UNKNOWN]: This had a really hot ending stretch here because Rian was fighting for her tournament life.
- 57:31[UNKNOWN]: If she lost here, she was mathematically eliminated.
- 57:34[UNKNOWN]: And Tina also gave her a lot.
- 57:36[UNKNOWN]: I think partly as a result, this was the last match that was going to matter for Rian this tournament.
- 57:42[UNKNOWN]: And they made it about as good as they possibly could.
- 57:46[UNKNOWN]: We don't talk about it much like, but as good as Hina is as a dominant wrestler leading the match.
- 57:56[UNKNOWN]: She's also a terrific seller.
- 57:59[UNKNOWN]: I feel like we are just not that long from her having a lengthy run with one of the singles belts.
- 58:06[UNKNOWN]: That's not the future or the high speed.
- 58:09[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think it's coming.
- 58:11[UNKNOWN]: I think it is coming probably.
- 58:14[UNKNOWN]: Red star is B, Lady C, as you say, Naba in 838 with the Requiem, or I think it's the Choke Slam Requiem.
- 58:23[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 58:24[UNKNOWN]: Choke Slam Requiem.
- 58:26[UNKNOWN]: Requiem, thank you.
- 58:28[UNKNOWN]: Is that like some nerd reference for her?
- 58:29[UNKNOWN]: Because I know she's a nerd.
- 58:32[UNKNOWN]: Possibly, but it's also just a sick ass name.
- 58:35[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, yeah, but that's ladies.
- 58:38[UNKNOWN]: He's first.
- 58:38[UNKNOWN]: Where did the tournament?
- 58:39[UNKNOWN]: Finally.
- 58:40[UNKNOWN]: She's now one and four.
- 58:41[UNKNOWN]: Azusa is now after this point was one, three and one Azusa stuck her hand.
- 58:47[UNKNOWN]: The air to ask for a lock up before the match, which was funny because ladies.
- 59:02[UNKNOWN]: uh, but when when lady puts your hands up like my hands can go all the way up here, that let Azusa punch her in the stomach and take over where the side have locks.
- 59:10[UNKNOWN]: So turn that Azusa had a plan.
- 59:13[UNKNOWN]: I drew it on to the lingoant.
- 59:14[UNKNOWN]: uh she put beat lady sees giant ass for most of his match that was just a decided to be able to find it well she's so fierce and lady is so good at selling that did not look ridiculous at all despite the huge height difference um but as I've talked about before though where lady had really improved is her offense for these comebacks
- 59:33[UNKNOWN]: Like at one point, actually took a bunch of offense to Roe, she's sidesteped the Anna-Go-A, she grabbed her from behind straight into this, uh, like backdrop-soup-plex facebuster, that looks sick as hell, and last year she wasn't doing anything near that cool for her hopes thought.
- 59:48[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Lady got, when we're back again, killed it for that, as you said, hit it with this high kick, and then somehow managed to back down Superexer, which Lady again took a great bump, a great bump for, but as you said, they'll run right into a normal choke sample in the airfall, dodge the big boot and back slitter, very nearly got the hammer that, but Lady immediately hits the big boot for real soon as she got back up, then grabbed around the throat and hit the choke slam, recrym, like where she's basically dives down herself as the difference, it looks great
- 1:00:18[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, three and three chords for me on this.
- 1:00:19[UNKNOWN]: But there's really good match.
- 1:00:22[UNKNOWN]: I know the, I didn't listen to their show yet.
- 1:00:24[UNKNOWN]: Apparently Kelly was really not from jumpy bomb audio.
- 1:00:27[UNKNOWN]: I was really not a fan of ladies use tournament.
- 1:00:29[UNKNOWN]: So I'm not looking forward to hearing him bully our poor lady, because I thought she's been great.
- 1:00:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:00:35[UNKNOWN]: No, I thought she's been great too.
- 1:00:37[UNKNOWN]: Lady C was also facing elimination this match.
- 1:00:40[UNKNOWN]: And her match after this is Utami.
- 1:00:43[UNKNOWN]: So this was must win,
- 1:00:48[UNKNOWN]: Um, I thought this was a great showcase for Lady C in particular, um, the choke slam Requiem looks absolutely sick.
- 1:01:00[UNKNOWN]: Um, she had hit it before in, uh, the six man tag, uh, title match, um, a couple weeks ago, um, and was frustrated that it got broken up, so she made sure it looked extra sick this time.
- 1:01:16[UNKNOWN]: And I think it looks like one of those moves where nobody should be allowed to kick out of it at this point.
- 1:01:22[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, Lady C has a death move.
- 1:01:25[UNKNOWN]: It's her own Drillicilla.
- 1:01:29[UNKNOWN]: Then we had Natsuka Tora and Akira Kuragani and Redstar's A going to a double count out in 841.
- 1:01:36[UNKNOWN]: So Akira gets her first point, she's still wideless, but she was down 03 and 1 while Tora is down 2211.
- 1:01:42[UNKNOWN]: The first of many draws we're going to talk about in this week's episode.
- 1:01:47[UNKNOWN]: So Akira jumps to her for the bell, which is the crowd loved, but toward in software and all, of course, after taking a beating, Akira was able to finally stagger to her with this big running knee to the face, and then actually lifted her with a half-hatch suplex, which got a big reaction on the crowd.
- 1:02:04[UNKNOWN]: Of course, Akira's little run did last very long, though, before Tora fought back with the standing-lariet, just about a five-minute call, filed by an even bigger running-lariet for Duke count.
- 1:02:13[UNKNOWN]: They went back to the outside, Tora killed Akira some more, and then she took her up to the stage, right in front of the commentary table, and slammed her heart on there.
- 1:02:20[UNKNOWN]: But just when Tora was about to get back at the ring, Akira grabbed her and jumped under back, then did a second time when Tora, like, and shook her off, was about to get in again, and the match ends with double count out.
- 1:02:33[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, here I got a point and then Torra killed her some more for it.
- 1:02:36[UNKNOWN]: So I hope that point was worth the tour.
- 1:02:38[UNKNOWN]: But pretty good, you know, three and a quarter.
- 1:02:40[UNKNOWN]: Good, good, big versus little underdog stuff.
- 1:02:42[UNKNOWN]: But, you know, double count.
- 1:02:44[UNKNOWN]: I was always kind of down over nending, but I went three and a half because I really liked the narrative of this match.
- 1:02:51[UNKNOWN]: Akira attacking quickly before Akira has been really aggressive this tournament when we especially see it in her next two matches.
- 1:03:02[UNKNOWN]: Um, but I also think there's to some degree she's doing that because she was kind of rewarded for it.
- 1:03:08[UNKNOWN]: She finally got a fucking point for the first time in a five-star Grand Prix.
- 1:03:14[UNKNOWN]: And partly it was because she was absolutely relentless in Otsuko.
- 1:03:18[UNKNOWN]: And Otsuko got so annoyed at her, um, that it ended up costing her the match, um, which I think is a great little story to tell.
- 1:03:27[UNKNOWN]: And a great way to give a rookie,
- 1:03:30[UNKNOWN]: wrestler a win over a much more experienced veteran.
- 1:03:34[UNKNOWN]: This was a banana peel win sure, but it was still earned.
- 1:03:40[UNKNOWN]: Blue Star's A, Julia Hart, the IS soccer on eight months and two seconds of the heartless.
- 1:03:46[UNKNOWN]: So Julia was now three and one and I was now two and three.
- 1:03:50[UNKNOWN]: Some of these poor people actually can't for Julia at the start of the match.
- 1:03:53[UNKNOWN]: Her reaction of encouraging them was funny though.
- 1:03:55[UNKNOWN]: I will give her that.
- 1:03:57[UNKNOWN]: Um, okay, so I got to say after what she did the last corrican, I was definitely afraid that Julia heart was going to start looking into every fucking camera, ring side of the entire magic I literally did in her first match, then she fucking didn't!
- 1:04:11[UNKNOWN]: I was amazed, she didn't do the, she didn't do the fucking staring every camera, and staring to my soul every moment of the match, like TV, wrestler, bullshit, maybe she's a listener, who knows, maybe she heard he could play the pattern on the first, and after her first match.
- 1:04:24[UNKNOWN]: I doubt it.
- 1:04:25[UNKNOWN]: But somebody fucking told her to stop doing that at least and like, you know, good work her of that was because she did not do it here.
- 1:04:32[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, obviously, I'm not thrilled that Julia won this, especially however, last kick setting up the heart list, look like her foot barely even made contact with Ayazarne.
- 1:04:42[UNKNOWN]: Um, but whatever compared to her first two matches, her this match and the one where Raka, she might as well have been Manami Toyota.
- 1:04:48[UNKNOWN]: I mean,
- 1:04:49[UNKNOWN]: Like two and three quarters for us, it was okay, which, you know, it definitely better than she was doing in her first two matches.
- 1:05:00[UNKNOWN]: I would two stars.
- 1:05:02[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 1:05:04[UNKNOWN]: I don't.
- 1:05:05[UNKNOWN]: I still think Julia Hart looks really bad.
- 1:05:08[UNKNOWN]: I guess everyone had psyched themselves into seeing the worst wrestler ever on a mat.
- 1:05:17[UNKNOWN]: And
- 1:05:21[UNKNOWN]: I will grant that Julia Hart is not the worst wrestler I saw this week, um, but I just don't think she likes to work for you.
- 1:05:34[UNKNOWN]: Uh, probably someone on Dragon Gate.
- 1:05:40[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 1:05:42[UNKNOWN]: What are you not talking about?
- 1:05:44[UNKNOWN]: So we'll never know which we're not talking about.
- 1:05:45[UNKNOWN]: So you'll never know who was.
- 1:05:47[UNKNOWN]: Um, it is.
- 1:05:50[UNKNOWN]: Julia Hart just still moves awkwardly, and she falls awkwardly, and when she hurts someone, when she tries to hit someone, it looks very light.
- 1:06:03[UNKNOWN]: It looks like it wouldn't disturb a sleeping kitten.
- 1:06:06[UNKNOWN]: Like she just does not belong, and it also then becomes aggravating when she's then getting wins over much more veteran wrestlers who do make the sure that their stuff looks
- 1:06:20[UNKNOWN]: like that's literally exposing the business right there that this is fake because she's so obviously play fighting because she is not used to the level of competition that they haven't started.
- 1:06:31[UNKNOWN]: So like I'm giving Julia heart zero grace.
- 1:06:35[UNKNOWN]: She does not love.
- 1:06:36[UNKNOWN]: She has improved.
- 1:06:38[UNKNOWN]: She is still not good.
- 1:06:39[UNKNOWN]: She is a long way from good.
- 1:06:41[UNKNOWN]: Now, look, I have to say, because I say this whenever people are like, why is X been pushed, the Japanese fans do seem to like her for some fucking reason.
- 1:06:49[UNKNOWN]: I mean, she's a hot blonde.
- 1:06:51[UNKNOWN]: I think they're just probably polite.
- 1:06:53[UNKNOWN]: Or, and yes, you blog to that probably helps, I think it'd be, I think it's a combination polite and horny probably, but like, but like, yeah, they do seem to like her, so, you know, I get it, I guess to a degree.
- 1:07:07[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 1:07:07[UNKNOWN]: I guess she just hasn't been a fan of it.
- 1:07:09[UNKNOWN]: I'm not even going to grant that she's hot though.
- 1:07:11[UNKNOWN]: I think she looks kind of weird.
- 1:07:14[UNKNOWN]: Wow, our math is going to look same too, he's, he's money.
- 1:07:21[UNKNOWN]: I was not, I mean, she looks like a rich guy's second string mistress that he forgets to get her a Christmas present.
- 1:07:29[UNKNOWN]: Julia Hart, if you have any listening, I think you're very, I think you're very attractive woman.
- 1:07:33[UNKNOWN]: So I'm, do not take our left of Julia heart if you're listening meet me at the back of the case, he's I'll beat your ass.
- 1:07:40[UNKNOWN]: Wow, Jesus.
- 1:07:43[UNKNOWN]: Oh my god.
- 1:07:44[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 1:07:47[UNKNOWN]: Sometimes God throws him fight.
- 1:07:53[UNKNOWN]: You know what I resent the most?
- 1:07:55[UNKNOWN]: She didn't even bring her cool hat.
- 1:07:57[UNKNOWN]: She has a cool hat.
- 1:07:58[UNKNOWN]: She didn't even bring her for the five star.
- 1:08:00[UNKNOWN]: That's just so disrespectful to the tournament.
- 1:08:02[UNKNOWN]: If you didn't want to bring a bigger piece of luggage, I get having been in Japan.
- 1:08:09[UNKNOWN]: If Megasus could do it, every time she was touring, then Julia Hartshire can.
- 1:08:14[UNKNOWN]: That's a good point, that is a good point.
- 1:08:16[UNKNOWN]: Well, Megad main has a certain level of, uh, I don't know.
- 1:08:20[UNKNOWN]: She seems to care more about her Jeff.
- 1:08:23[UNKNOWN]: She's also a much better wrestler.
- 1:08:26[UNKNOWN]: Well, that too.
- 1:08:28[UNKNOWN]: All right, we very cordially hurt too much already.
- 1:08:31[UNKNOWN]: I did not expect us to do enough.
- 1:08:33[UNKNOWN]: I did not expect us to Okay, you just said not more Julia heart matches My heart You just said that she's not even that attractive and you want to fight her how much more can we bear in this form Like Jesus
- 1:08:51[UNKNOWN]: You have me standing up for an all-lead wrestle.
- 1:08:54[UNKNOWN]: Like, what world is this coming up with?
- 1:08:56[UNKNOWN]: I'm here here now.
- 1:08:58[UNKNOWN]: Blue SARS-B, Starlight Kid, beat Yuna Mizumori, and 1055, the Tigers who plex hold, Starlight Kid goes to 211 for five points, and Yuna drops to two and three for four points.
- 1:09:10[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, really good back and forth type match.
- 1:09:12[UNKNOWN]: I like that you to mind, just kept avoiding Starlake games with the first five management trying to relate stuff because it would make no sense for Starlake could not to try at all, but given that you know, obviously wants to run around a lot, it would really make no sense for her to, uh,
- 1:09:27[UNKNOWN]: You know, like, actually have a like worked over.
- 1:09:32[UNKNOWN]: It seemed, I thought for a second that you know, you didn't like this fucking signing, Larry right before that five minute call, where Charlie can see it down a long time and date she was really checking on her.
- 1:09:40[UNKNOWN]: I was like, shit, is he?
- 1:09:42[UNKNOWN]: Like he was checking her mouth specifically.
- 1:09:43[UNKNOWN]: I was like, did he like, does she just break a tooth or something?
- 1:09:47[UNKNOWN]: But I don't know, she didn't get back up obviously.
- 1:09:49[UNKNOWN]: Starlight Kid hit a nice tiger driver.
- 1:09:51[UNKNOWN]: She like really just dropped you.
- 1:09:53[UNKNOWN]: Not that look good.
- 1:09:54[UNKNOWN]: She briefly got the stretch muffler finally, but you know, they were able to make them for the road after a brief struggle.
- 1:09:59[UNKNOWN]: They had a nice little four-mix range of the top rope with Kid staggering her with a bunch of a row where you know, I'm on answer with this big Larry up there.
- 1:10:06[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to spot you see every day of the top rope Larry it.
- 1:10:09[UNKNOWN]: then she lifted her under her shoulders and did like an avalanche sound driver.
- 1:10:12[UNKNOWN]: I don't remember what she calls that move.
- 1:10:13[UNKNOWN]: It's like that one word you start from the fireman's carrying turn into the driver.
- 1:10:18[UNKNOWN]: To be fair, I remember what the generic name is.
- 1:10:19[UNKNOWN]: Who is either so?
- 1:10:21[UNKNOWN]: But sick looking spot, the avalanche version of it.
- 1:10:24[UNKNOWN]: uh... you don't mind fucking murdered her with a running larry after that but that's okay once again just barely hit that for the ten minute call uh... she was doing a great job selling that she's out in her feet but she caught you know with her fucking tens on to my son driver thing you know came back cut back on the pitted temp though because again everybody loves this fund started now that we took the move and cut back on the pen very nearly pender but starly kid spun through into a tiger shoeplex sold back out the three count
- 1:10:50[UNKNOWN]: Um, awesome fucking match, you know, I will say the, the finish had that hell, a little bit of that element work kid, I mean, actually you know what, maybe this may more sense for you to come back on the, on the, on the, on the, on the pentatempt on that the, the driver because like she'd done 500 booths to start like him before that and start like you just finally hit a move.
- 1:11:12[UNKNOWN]: So for one second, it did make sense that you didn't, I was able to come back on the pentatempt and it's like, yeah, you hit a really like one move at that point.
- 1:11:18[UNKNOWN]: But you know, um, but yeah, she did hit like she ended up having it at two moves to actually pattern, but still a little bit of the, you know, I hit my one move out of nowhere like stunner element to it, but not quite as bad I guess because release two moves.
- 1:11:33[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, if if you don't mind it kicked out and they've done a little bit more, you know, at that point, this match going down even higher, but I still did easy four stars in this.
- 1:11:40[UNKNOWN]: It's a lot.
- 1:11:40[UNKNOWN]: I still thought it was really good.
- 1:11:41[UNKNOWN]: Oh, well, uh, I went three stars on it, uh,
- 1:11:46[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 1:11:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I know.
- 1:11:47[UNKNOWN]: I was lower on it than you.
- 1:11:48[UNKNOWN]: I still thought it was good.
- 1:11:50[UNKNOWN]: The, um, let me see my cage when I should have it.
- 1:11:53[UNKNOWN]: Maybe I might be on the one of the island.
- 1:11:57[UNKNOWN]: I found the story of the match a little muddled.
- 1:12:00[UNKNOWN]: So, um, if there was a bit more of a struggle at the end, uh, to close out the match, I probably would have gone higher, um, but I generally found, um,
- 1:12:15[UNKNOWN]: that Unimon clearly has a lot of pride as a high-speed champion, and she really wanted to just show out here for a match against probably the definitive high-speed champion in start and right now.
- 1:12:30[UNKNOWN]: Obviously former champion, she's moved on to bigger and better things.
- 1:12:35[UNKNOWN]: But putting on a great high-speed match was clearly a high priority for Unimon.
- 1:12:40[UNKNOWN]: I also think that's
- 1:12:44[UNKNOWN]: That's a high speed in stardom classic right there.
- 1:12:47[UNKNOWN]: just reversals or reversals.
- 1:12:49[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah.
- 1:12:50[UNKNOWN]: Then even then when you go back, the cutback pin is kind of too.
- 1:12:54[UNKNOWN]: Yep, yep.
- 1:12:55[UNKNOWN]: A hundred percent.
- 1:12:56[UNKNOWN]: I feel like that started in the high-speed division and then spread like a virus to the rest of the world.
- 1:13:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:13:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:13:02[UNKNOWN]: Um, to answer my question by the way, this, the inmates for closer to May, they were 7.49 so that that implies the other quick work.
- 1:13:10[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:13:10[UNKNOWN]: So, uh, but I was hired, I was hired in the inmates a lot of these next few matches, so whatever, the inmates can go fuck themselves again,
- 1:13:17[UNKNOWN]: Next match, Red Star's A, Azumi, the SKA-OK and 1338 with Azumi Sushi, Azumi at this point goes to 3 and 1, and A-OK drops to 4 and 2.
- 1:13:28[UNKNOWN]: Azumi did her own like scream introduction back at A-OK, but it wasn't in the earlier days of going to be stars.
- 1:13:33[UNKNOWN]: You can't out scream, it's SKA-OK, it's not going to happen.
- 1:13:36[UNKNOWN]: Well, I also think Azumi just doesn't have that big a voice to turn sound.
- 1:13:41[UNKNOWN]: Um, this match was a bad, that's a good point.
- 1:13:43[UNKNOWN]: You think you think she would have more one.
- 1:13:44[UNKNOWN]: I know sometimes she really starts Like you know what she does that like she just kind of screams nothing towards the end of her matches a lot of time I don't have to describe it where she's like, ah I kind of fired up.
- 1:13:54[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:13:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:13:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:13:56[UNKNOWN]: I'm like she sounds pretty loud when she does that.
- 1:13:58[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know She seems to scream nothing again
- 1:14:02[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, this match, you know, it's starting out a little wacky, a little more comedy having that expected, but I still was enjoying it.
- 1:14:08[UNKNOWN]: Um, I really like the spot where Azumi tried to run up the top rope for the arm drag off of there.
- 1:14:13[UNKNOWN]: They all keep blocked it, which I feel like is not a spot you see ever.
- 1:14:16[UNKNOWN]: I feel like if someone goes for top rope at arm drag, they always fucking hit it.
- 1:14:20[UNKNOWN]: So it was cool to see a spot that actually blocked for once, that they always, because nobody ever does a top or barn die, I guess, and that's actually going to hit top or barn drag.
- 1:14:27[UNKNOWN]: Uh, assuming ends up getting the better of her up there anyway, though, where she had an arm breaker and set up over the top rope.
- 1:14:34[UNKNOWN]: Um, she had this pretty sick rounded Rana with a Rana, whatever.
- 1:14:39[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, with a hookie.
- 1:14:41[UNKNOWN]: Maybe there's Rana.
- 1:14:42[UNKNOWN]: Why am I second guess of myself?
- 1:14:44[UNKNOWN]: She had a pretty sick her carama where they owed you leaning over the second rope, which was just spiked her head first.
- 1:14:49[UNKNOWN]: Again, a very unique spot.
- 1:14:51[UNKNOWN]: Then she hit her, hit her, hit her, hit a typically like really crazy looking top rope double-sombed from halfway across the ring, just killed her.
- 1:14:59[UNKNOWN]: That got a two count.
- 1:15:00[UNKNOWN]: Uh, they went to this pretty sick strike exchange from there with ended with a okay just killing her with a sort on Larry it, but assuming block the running Larry with a simple knee strike, took her down to that arm stretch thing she does, um, you know, very Zach Saber Junior asked the way she was really pulling the arm back in this one look just, it looked legitimately painful.
- 1:15:18[UNKNOWN]: Um, every time, like, especially whenever, you know, obviously, you know, not, not breaking news, anybody knows anything on the star of Azumi has very large thighs and she like would bend the arm behind the thigh and that especially would look like it was going to break the break at Oreo he's on.
- 1:15:33[UNKNOWN]: Every time she did that, that's it.
- 1:15:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, with the camera.
- 1:15:36[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, that that makes sense.
- 1:15:37[UNKNOWN]: I like that.
- 1:15:39[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Aoki, though, was finally able to escape when Izumi kept trying to readjust her position.
- 1:15:44[UNKNOWN]: She hit a German suit plaques followed by a buzzsaw kick for two count, then an air ray crash or another two count, just as you got the three minutes remaining call, uh, Izumi got her boots up when Aoki came up the top rope, again, looks like she killed her on that.
- 1:15:57[UNKNOWN]: Then she got the Izumi sushi, but I hope he kicked out that time.
- 1:16:01[UNKNOWN]: She hit a high kick, Izumi did, I mean, uh, she, she yelled Baka yellow at her, which I thought was funny.
- 1:16:10[UNKNOWN]: Well, catching her leg, that's why she did.
- 1:16:13[UNKNOWN]: She caught her leg, basically.
- 1:16:15[UNKNOWN]: And she basically then hit a German Suplex.
- 1:16:19[UNKNOWN]: I okay, no sold it.
- 1:16:21[UNKNOWN]: Hit her own German as we do sold that, but ran right into a Larry that was took her head off her in two count.
- 1:16:27[UNKNOWN]: The Yoke just casually got up and Larry it right back down again, which that kicked us.
- 1:16:31[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Ioki picked her up and went for the running airway crash.
- 1:16:34[UNKNOWN]: She's been beating everybody with, but Azumi escaped.
- 1:16:37[UNKNOWN]: Got LeMistica and Azumi Sushi.
- 1:16:39[UNKNOWN]: Ioki tried to roll through that, straight into her own pinfall, but Azumi was seemingly ready for it and just use your own momentum against her to get the Azumi Sushi after all.
- 1:16:47[UNKNOWN]: Finally, the three count.
- 1:16:49[UNKNOWN]: Uh, this match fucking owned nothing on the wacky star which had some legitimately funny moments and the entire closing stretch was basically what people wash starting for, my opinion.
- 1:16:58[UNKNOWN]: I mean, just this high speed, high energy tons of moves, you know, just awesome stuff, four and a quarter stars, four and a quarter stars, one of my favorite after the tournament.
- 1:17:07[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I went three and three quarters.
- 1:17:11[UNKNOWN]: Um, I thought it was a great match and I think it's a
- 1:17:19[UNKNOWN]: She is adding a great mix of she both fits the style of startup really, really well, but also she's a really good sense of humor.
- 1:17:31[UNKNOWN]: I like the whole that they did with the water bottle at the beginning, which was the comedy sponsor for referencing.
- 1:17:37[UNKNOWN]: And she would carry that over in the later matches because I guess it just got so over in Kirk and Hall.
- 1:17:47[UNKNOWN]: she can be fast but she can also be a good power wrestler and it had made for a really interesting contrast here with Azami who is the Corvette of Joe she wrestler she is built for speed and here's speed one but as they like to say styles make fights this was a
- 1:18:17[UNKNOWN]: You know, and for the, I guess to give the K advanced comparison, they were closer to you on that when they were like 7.8 so somewhere between three and three quarters and four.
- 1:18:47[UNKNOWN]: Oh, that was your, I didn't mention that on the guy brought my, I bought my dream cream tickets and I bought my Japan flight and I thought kind of fucked everything up to say about see the fucking the assholes, the asshole people taking up the fucking spot at the rhythm machine.
- 1:18:58[UNKNOWN]: Maybe ramp is so long that forgot to mention I bought my fucking Japan flight and my dream cream tickets like no John, you mentioned that you had bought the Japan flight tickets.
- 1:19:05[UNKNOWN]: You talked about the cost.
- 1:19:08[UNKNOWN]: Oh, thank you.
- 1:19:09[UNKNOWN]: Okay, my bad.
- 1:19:11[UNKNOWN]: Yes, I did buy that this last week and I also bought green green cream.
- 1:19:14[UNKNOWN]: Dream queen of this time.
- 1:19:15[UNKNOWN]: I did not do front row like I did last year.
- 1:19:17[UNKNOWN]: Both because, you know, the flight was so goddamn expensive this year.
- 1:19:22[UNKNOWN]: And also on top of that, now there's just not support retirement.
- 1:19:24[UNKNOWN]: Share one January 3rd.
- 1:19:26[UNKNOWN]: We're like, if I'm going to drop crazy body on like front row to something, it's probably going to be that.
- 1:19:31[UNKNOWN]: So I went with, do you remember when you sat last year by the way, like what section?
- 1:19:36[UNKNOWN]: Uh, no, uh, I got box seats.
- 1:19:38[UNKNOWN]: So you don't, so it had to be either A or B, but I think I should've sold out.
- 1:19:42[UNKNOWN]: So I think it was a, I think it was a, I think it was a, okay.
- 1:19:46[UNKNOWN]: I was in, this time I did S front.
- 1:19:48[UNKNOWN]: So that's like, I think it's just either, either only row one or row two of the boxes and the front, it refers to the side.
- 1:19:55[UNKNOWN]: So it's the front, the side they all pose to.
- 1:19:56[UNKNOWN]: They charge a little extra money for it.
- 1:19:58[UNKNOWN]: But like the, the premium for the boxes and not that bad.
- 1:20:01[UNKNOWN]: It's like, these tickets for 18,000 in each when the,
- 1:20:05[UNKNOWN]: The normal S box is a 13,000 in each so it's 5,000 in extra, which with the current exchange rate being what it is.
- 1:20:10[UNKNOWN]: It's like 30 bucks.
- 1:20:12[UNKNOWN]: So I'm like, okay, it's going to pay the 30 bucks and be on the hard, the side they'll post it.
- 1:20:15[UNKNOWN]: Why not?
- 1:20:16[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I got that in the in the pre sale.
- 1:20:18[UNKNOWN]: What's the tickets are moving pretty well in the pre sale pretty similar to last year, but, you know, this year unlike last year they're doing two provokes not one provokes.
- 1:20:27[UNKNOWN]: So they're selling more tickets while these sections are selling out again, but the, I think the S front and the A front.
- 1:20:33[UNKNOWN]: box section are already sold out in the pre-sale, along with the VIP front row front side, which is 150,000 yen, just fucking crazy, those tickets are gone already.
- 1:20:44[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, prices are pretty much exactly the same as last year, because the front row again is 100,000 yen, which is the same as it was when I got it for a bit like 600 bucks, I think.
- 1:20:53[UNKNOWN]: The box seats are actually slightly less expensive, which I assume that's because they're now two revocs instead of one per box.
- 1:21:03[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 1:21:04[UNKNOWN]: Climbs coming with you.
- 1:21:05[UNKNOWN]: Cool.
- 1:21:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:21:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:21:07[UNKNOWN]: So, because you buy two boxes together, they give you the same box, unless you, you know, unless you bought really last minute or something and all they have left is like one box slots.
- 1:21:16[UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, these are these two per box shows, I mean.
- 1:21:21[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, that is a, that's why I got my dream cream cream tickets.
- 1:21:25[UNKNOWN]: I just thought of that because this was a dream cream cream to pretty much excited to be there again.
- 1:21:29[UNKNOWN]: And I believe or not, be my first time ever sitting in a single box on my eighth Japan trip.
- 1:21:35[UNKNOWN]: And I don't even know what number of shows it's you will haul.
- 1:21:38[UNKNOWN]: I've never done it.
- 1:21:39[UNKNOWN]: So be interested to try it.
- 1:21:40[UNKNOWN]: Finally, I mean, you thought it was fine, right?
- 1:21:43[UNKNOWN]: You're a big dude, too.
- 1:21:46[UNKNOWN]: I was big enough that the box was still slightly uncomfortable for me.
- 1:21:52[UNKNOWN]: but that's kind of what I needed at the moment because God, I was tired.
- 1:21:57[UNKNOWN]: That in some ways helped keep me awake.
- 1:21:59[UNKNOWN]: If I was too comfortable, I might have started snoring in the middle of the day.
- 1:22:04[UNKNOWN]: I landed that day.
- 1:22:05[UNKNOWN]: No, I landed a couple days before.
- 1:22:07[UNKNOWN]: So I still didn't have quite enough time to catch up on sleep.
- 1:22:11[UNKNOWN]: Gotcha, Gotcha.
- 1:22:13[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so that is, did you bring a pillow or anything?
- 1:22:16[UNKNOWN]: I've heard you about it do that.
- 1:22:18[UNKNOWN]: I did bring one of those inflatable pillows.
- 1:22:22[UNKNOWN]: Yes, it was not effective.
- 1:22:27[UNKNOWN]: So I would rather have brought an actual pillow or what I ended up using was like my jacket to create some cushioning that was helpful.
- 1:22:40[UNKNOWN]: If you buy it at the, did you buy the play will pillow there, or did you just bring it?
- 1:22:43[UNKNOWN]: No, I brought it.
- 1:22:44[UNKNOWN]: I brought it.
- 1:22:44[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 1:22:45[UNKNOWN]: Because yeah, like Chris was telling me, uh, friend of the show, Chris right head was telling me he bought a pillow at like a 10 so or something that was really close by.
- 1:22:54[UNKNOWN]: He said that pillow worked really well for him, but he's not as tall as your eye.
- 1:22:57[UNKNOWN]: I remember correctly.
- 1:22:58[UNKNOWN]: So, he's not even tall as me and you're tall to me.
- 1:23:01[UNKNOWN]: So, um gosh, I might want something like that next time I
- 1:23:07[UNKNOWN]: keep that in mind because I did kind of think if I had an actual pillow that would have helped a bit.
- 1:23:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean worst case scenario I hate it and I never do it again so you know it's worth trying once.
- 1:23:20[UNKNOWN]: But, you know, because like the ring side seeds, it's like, I think third, the S seeds were like fucking, I don't know, like 30, 30 or 40,000 yen and like that even the A or like 25,000, I don't want to pay more money for like, you know, I'm not having to go to the sea, not really.
- 1:23:38[UNKNOWN]: No, I think the S for like the S is 50,000, yeah, I think, which is like the second row.
- 1:23:44[UNKNOWN]: And like the A was like 30,000 or something.
- 1:23:46[UNKNOWN]: So I'm like, I'm paying more.
- 1:23:47[UNKNOWN]: Like, second row would have been okay.
- 1:23:48[UNKNOWN]: There's still a lot quite a 12,000, I'm still quite a bit.
- 1:23:51[UNKNOWN]: And then the A, once you get to arena A, I think that's like either third, just third or third and fourth.
- 1:23:57[UNKNOWN]: I can't remember how many rows they set up exactly.
- 1:23:59[UNKNOWN]: I'm like at that point I really want to be in the box because the box are elevated so yeah I don't know that was kind of kind of my and I didn't want to I've done the second floor before I didn't want to do that so I think that box seats are just such an iconic part of Riga Goku that's worth doing at least once you know just to be able to say you've done it before
- 1:24:23[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:24:24[UNKNOWN]: So now I'm going to go say I've done it finally.
- 1:24:27[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, back to this match, site Eta B. Konami in 13 minutes and three seconds.
- 1:24:32[UNKNOWN]: Konami is being a bully as usual for Eta finally fought back and just wiped her out this big Larry it right before the five minute call.
- 1:24:41[UNKNOWN]: Eda, of course, chopped the sheet out of her as well for Konami briefly caught her in the sleeper.
- 1:24:47[UNKNOWN]: Even managing to get it on her back, which kind of crazy given the height difference.
- 1:24:51[UNKNOWN]: Konami's not that tall, but she's a lot tall.
- 1:24:53[UNKNOWN]: Everybody's a lot tall in sight, Eda, pretty much so.
- 1:24:57[UNKNOWN]: either that was able to spin her into a nice side slam from there.
- 1:24:59[UNKNOWN]: You see that picture by the way, it was Eda's side, Comotani, Oscar, and somebody else, I remember the fourth one is they were all on this like running show, like yep, basically it's like a, yeah, and the picture of site Eda and Oscar, next week, how do we still fucking fuck?
- 1:25:14[UNKNOWN]: You could have stacked three site Eda's on top of each other, and it still wouldn't have reached Oscar's height.
- 1:25:19[UNKNOWN]: It's, it's very funny.
- 1:25:21[UNKNOWN]: I mean, just her saying exercise, come on, Tony's already kind of funny, but let alone Oscar.
- 1:25:26[UNKNOWN]: Um.
- 1:25:28[UNKNOWN]: Eda very nearly pinned her after she spun her off on that side, saying from the sleeper, she's going to do pinned her economy with the bridging pin things she does, and then immediately caught her running out with a spine buster that left both girls down.
- 1:25:40[UNKNOWN]: Konami escaped the muscle buster and got her sleeper hold back on.
- 1:25:44[UNKNOWN]: And I like, I loved how Eda sold this.
- 1:25:47[UNKNOWN]: She was selling it like, you know, maybe I'm going out, but I'm also really pissed off.
- 1:25:51[UNKNOWN]: like that was the look on her face.
- 1:25:53[UNKNOWN]: She's kind of funny.
- 1:25:54[UNKNOWN]: She's like, I'm I'm going out about a mad about it.
- 1:25:56[UNKNOWN]: That was kind of the face she was making.
- 1:25:58[UNKNOWN]: I loved it.
- 1:25:59[UNKNOWN]: She was able to escape it, though, when Konami took her down to the mat.
- 1:26:02[UNKNOWN]: I do wish the writing barrier she had over to the back of her had looked a little better for such a big spot in the match and looked like she crazed her with it more than anything.
- 1:26:10[UNKNOWN]: Um, but we did get another great closing stretch.
- 1:26:13[UNKNOWN]: You had to kill over a bunch of better running Larry at making up for the last one.
- 1:26:16[UNKNOWN]: That was right after Kenobi kicked out of a brainbuster at one.
- 1:26:18[UNKNOWN]: So he had to hit another one.
- 1:26:20[UNKNOWN]: Then tries to deadlift her straight up into a third and four tree just kind of fell over.
- 1:26:24[UNKNOWN]: But she held on to her and immediately hit another one over the pin anyway.
- 1:26:26[UNKNOWN]: So at least a little botched and killed a finish or anything.
- 1:26:29[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, Kenobi's first lost the tournament to this point and her fourth match is fine.
- 1:26:33[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't get to do a black face autograph.
- 1:26:35[UNKNOWN]: Um, I can't quite go four stars.
- 1:26:40[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I went four stars flat for this, partly because it was so emotionally satisfying to see eat a get-a-win over Konami.
- 1:26:51[UNKNOWN]: This is one of the great things about round robin single tournaments like this is they're just carrying storylines from earlier feuds and running it back a bit and maybe this time you finally get the satisfaction of seeing one of your favorites.
- 1:27:06[UNKNOWN]: beat her hated rival that she couldn't beat earlier for the white belt.
- 1:27:12[UNKNOWN]: This was a great match for running it back and Eda just having that little bit extra that for whatever reasons she didn't have in Rio Goku.
- 1:27:22[UNKNOWN]: She had it here and it was enough to get her over the top.
- 1:27:26[UNKNOWN]: So four stars flat on this.
- 1:27:29[UNKNOWN]: Great match, great match.
- 1:27:32[UNKNOWN]: uh... then the main event and and i guess to keep the cage branch theme going that was seven point eight or seven point six seven so they were like again a little i've seen the higher the middle kind right between the two of us so we try to see which of the two of us are more cage match brain poisoned i guess so okay all right i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm
- 1:27:52[UNKNOWN]: I'm way above them on this one, so I can tell you that.
- 1:27:55[UNKNOWN]: Mobile Watched Abba inside a common tiny one to a 15-minute draw.
- 1:27:59[UNKNOWN]: So Mobile Watched now three one and one at this point in Blue Bay and size two oh and two.
- 1:28:04[UNKNOWN]: So both girls just charged each other and just started slugging it out as soon as the bell rang.
- 1:28:09[UNKNOWN]: I was frankly a little bit surprised neither of these very evil women that chose to jump each other before that.
- 1:28:15[UNKNOWN]: I kind of thought they were going to, but now they, there was on her among thieves on this day, I guess.
- 1:28:20[UNKNOWN]: They end up on the floor immediately where they of course three each other in the chairs.
- 1:28:24[UNKNOWN]: Momo accidentally kicked the ring post though, which gave side of the chance to pull out her chain.
- 1:28:28[UNKNOWN]: She's just fucking hanger.
- 1:28:29[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, Miss, this woman isn't your unit.
- 1:28:32[UNKNOWN]: I know you're mad at her or whatever, but like your head, you're trying to hanger.
- 1:28:36[UNKNOWN]: Seems a little extreme.
- 1:28:39[UNKNOWN]: Momo, though, paid her back by using the bat on her legs from the apron.
- 1:28:43[UNKNOWN]: And now the honor among thieves is that left the building, I guess.
- 1:28:48[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Momo trapped Sia at a tree of woe back at the ring.
- 1:28:52[UNKNOWN]: Sia damn near a pole to her hair out from in there.
- 1:28:54[UNKNOWN]: So Momo answered by just casually charging it in soccer ball kicking her in the side of the head.
- 1:28:59[UNKNOWN]: I was fucking sick.
- 1:29:01[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Sia tried to fight back with forearms, but Momo just stood there and calmly took them all for a pretty good down with one single middle kick.
- 1:29:09[UNKNOWN]: Sia came back though with a very nice drop kick that knocked him over to the floor.
- 1:29:13[UNKNOWN]: Dead did a springboard body press while just screeching Momo's name.
- 1:29:19[UNKNOWN]: She also killed poor Natsukutura, so what the fact of Taurai would do to you, Syah?
- 1:29:23[UNKNOWN]: Uh, they do a kind of whatever form exchange back in the ring.
- 1:29:27[UNKNOWN]: There's maybe the first thing of this match I didn't absolutely love for Momo just started rocking with middle picks again.
- 1:29:31[UNKNOWN]: That was much better.
- 1:29:33[UNKNOWN]: Saya fucking crush her with a standing foot, stop moments later.
- 1:29:36[UNKNOWN]: I think maybe right to the leg or maybe to even more private area.
- 1:29:39[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:29:39[UNKNOWN]: It's hard to read a tell.
- 1:29:40[UNKNOWN]: You even tried to rewind it.
- 1:29:42[UNKNOWN]: But the camera angle we had was, uh, did not make it obvious.
- 1:29:45[UNKNOWN]: They go back and forth, rolling each other up before a Momo just killed her with the bastard driver for a two count.
- 1:29:52[UNKNOWN]: she hit the half downs and suplex, sigh a no sold it, did her own little kick combo, and then when then's a geary, and that left both goes down.
- 1:29:59[UNKNOWN]: I actually both got back up, Momo just suddenly hit her with a spinning uranage of all things, then a diving double.
- 1:30:05[UNKNOWN]: Knees up the second rope for a doke out, sighed to the big zombie, kip up though, and cut her off and try to go to the back of the top rope, and run her off there, then did this enormous running boot in the corner, basically,
- 1:30:18[UNKNOWN]: Jake leaves fucking face brace shut and a Sioux Flex combo for a two count We're rocking toward distracted the ref so Momo can try to use the hate chair on sia But sia was able to cut her off Momo though.
- 1:30:31[UNKNOWN]: I hit her with the chair after all broke it over her head We're hitting her signature Siouxplex not the Momoplex.
- 1:30:36[UNKNOWN]: I can't remember that Like I said, but we'll flex last week, and that's not it.
- 1:30:40[UNKNOWN]: You know, do you mean what is it?
- 1:30:44[UNKNOWN]: Peach sunrise each sunrise.
- 1:30:46[UNKNOWN]: Thank you
- 1:30:47[UNKNOWN]: uh... rock at the wrong i i don't uh... i'm pretty pretty much she might have changed it to black peach yeah whatever something peach uh... rock i stopped bar from carrying the pen though uh... and it couldn't tell who side of this pink here one was on because i think before that yeah for that rock and tortoise track of the ref so mo mo could use the hate chair on sia and now rock is stopping bar from counting the pen like who said you're on fucking pig care lady
- 1:31:12[UNKNOWN]: uh... momo punk hikter i mean she's just being fair audestly gets them she's trying to try to help the both uh... and she's trying to get the draw actually they would get them both a point so uh... momo punk hikter but sci-fi escape the suplex again and sci-fi took barbs of rock and hit more of the black box i guess rock was just on her side now sci-fi and ronnard her but momo kicked out
- 1:31:34[UNKNOWN]: Sia ran over with a winner over with another big boot as you're rapidly running out of time.
- 1:31:41[UNKNOWN]: Sia hit the star crusher as there were 30 seconds left, but more versed the pen attempt into our own roll up for two, which again, they do that's fought way too much.
- 1:31:51[UNKNOWN]: It was like the fucking, that's like the third time I mentioned on this show and who knows if we've even got all of them.
- 1:31:56[UNKNOWN]: But time ran out though just as Sia hit the
- 1:32:02[UNKNOWN]: Easily my favorite match to the five chart of this point.
- 1:32:05[UNKNOWN]: Sia, again, I know some people hate her.
- 1:32:08[UNKNOWN]: I know some people think she sucks and ring or whatever.
- 1:32:10[UNKNOWN]: I think she's not getting nearly enough credit for the immigrant here if she's having.
- 1:32:13[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I think she's had some incredibly sick matches this year when you put the Siaic a match, where she lost the belt to her, the great eight woman tag at the, what's the call show I was at, the conversion, whether they do all the Siaer Tommy lore,
- 1:32:28[UNKNOWN]: For the five star matches he's having, which Star Lake had in feathers, the fucking match of the year, which Star Lake had she's had for me, at least, by match of the year.
- 1:32:35[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I mean, she's kind of a fucking quiet, most outstanding candidate to me at least.
- 1:32:40[UNKNOWN]: Um, I just so weird that you're now saying, say a Comotani, possibly underrated.
- 1:32:46[UNKNOWN]: And it's like, where has the discourse gone that that's even a topic of discussion?
- 1:32:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, what the hell?
- 1:32:53[UNKNOWN]: She's still an excellent.
- 1:32:54[UNKNOWN]: People got really stupid about her.
- 1:32:56[UNKNOWN]: So we're good.
- 1:32:56[UNKNOWN]: She does.
- 1:32:57[UNKNOWN]: She does.
- 1:32:57[UNKNOWN]: She does.
- 1:32:57[UNKNOWN]: She's a meme wrestler.

- 1:33:13[UNKNOWN]: Dude.
- 1:33:14[UNKNOWN]: Dude.
- 1:33:15[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, so I was I could see people taking points off for this stuff for the finish, but I thought there's just a great example of a rare example of cheating and light interference actually adding to a match.
- 1:33:26[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I was four and a half of them.
- 1:33:28[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was fucking awesome.
- 1:33:30[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I'm way higher than the M8, the image like 7.83, so they're not even at four for it.
- 1:33:36[UNKNOWN]: But I thought this was fucking incredible match.
- 1:33:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I went four and a half as well.
- 1:33:40[UNKNOWN]: Um, I thought this was fucking incredible.
- 1:33:42[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was one of the best matches of the weekend.
- 1:33:44[UNKNOWN]: this week had a lot of incredible matches, the, okay, so I, I, I find I can't add much to your great description there of what happened.
- 1:33:58[UNKNOWN]: So I kind of want to ask a few meta questions for us to chew on.
- 1:34:03[UNKNOWN]: Number one, in the post match, it looked like they made up.
- 1:34:07[UNKNOWN]: Do you think that's sincere?
- 1:34:11[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yes, I think I think they're not going to do the same way.
- 1:34:15[UNKNOWN]: I think they break up singles over.
- 1:34:16[UNKNOWN]: I think they're they like the idea of doing the single and like doing doing a long this long story line with the two of them as friends, uh, you know, the two of them like having a falling out, whatever, and having the 10 on my last year or you know, then having this little mini falling out may like the idea of like they think it's unpredictable.
- 1:34:32[UNKNOWN]: I think not to do an actual break up.
- 1:34:34[UNKNOWN]: That's my prediction.
- 1:34:35[UNKNOWN]: Maybe maybe I'm wrong.
- 1:34:36[UNKNOWN]: Maybe they're actually, maybe because it's just just a store in the store and I break up.
- 1:34:38[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was the feeling I got at the end of this.
- 1:34:42[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, because like, I didn't really talk about that part.
- 1:34:47[UNKNOWN]: But after the match, they did the big make up.
- 1:34:49[UNKNOWN]: So I offered the handshake for us for a moment, we'll slap your hand away and then hugged her.
- 1:34:52[UNKNOWN]: And I was like, what a heartwarming story of two evil bitches, we discovered the friendship for each other and Kate and Kate and Bobby's like,
- 1:35:00[UNKNOWN]: Right.
- 1:35:02[UNKNOWN]: So I think the reason why I don't tirely buy it is that I think size issues with Momo goes so much deeper than just Momo recently screwing up and causing her to lose matches like the tag match against utami.
- 1:35:21[UNKNOWN]: Because for those of you who are not up on stardom lore,
- 1:35:29[UNKNOWN]: CleansQuestLore is becoming increasingly important CleansQuest being the unit that both of them were in once upon a time.
- 1:35:37[UNKNOWN]: And Saia Kamatani was the last remaining member of CleansQuest as one member after another was peeled off, but it all started with Momo betraying CleansQuest to join O-A-D-O-Tai, which is what would become hate, right?
- 1:36:00[UNKNOWN]: And that was like the first big betrayal that even in her own autobiography, Syah Kamatani talks about in, with more venom than a lot of other actual rivals that she's done, shoot head butts to like if anything, part of the problem with why the smash wouldn't be more violent
- 1:36:31[UNKNOWN]: It feels like the roots of why these two will fight more or less forever, just run too deep for them to make up this quickly.
- 1:36:45[UNKNOWN]: Also, I think the matchup is just too darn good to leave the two of them as faction mates.
- 1:36:59[UNKNOWN]: as for for a big match like the dome, which I think this is a dome-level match.
- 1:37:06[UNKNOWN]: If they're in separate factions, if they go on ahead and turn side of Comotani, babyface, or even mumble babyface.
- 1:37:12[UNKNOWN]: Remember last year, we were all psyched at the idea of babyface mumble might be coming back.
- 1:37:19[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't look like either is happening just yet, but I personally have not given up hope yet.
- 1:37:28[UNKNOWN]: God, 15 minutes just isn't enough for these two, is it John?
- 1:37:32[UNKNOWN]: 15 minutes just felt like they skimmed to the top of a much deeper well of possibility.
- 1:37:40[UNKNOWN]: These two could go 30, 40 minutes and keep it at this level.
- 1:37:44[UNKNOWN]: I really believe that.
- 1:37:46[UNKNOWN]: Their match last year for the belt was awesome too.
- 1:37:50[UNKNOWN]: So I just think that the synergy between the two of them is too good.
- 1:37:55[UNKNOWN]: You've got a certain amount of money.
- 1:37:56[UNKNOWN]: By the way, the matches, I don't think I like the match quite as much as you, but the match also fucking put a giant crowd in the Older Ward after everybody kept saying.
- 1:38:05[UNKNOWN]: Oh, why they do it this, a few sucks, so nobody likes a few, and it's not really doing a story at all.
- 1:38:11[UNKNOWN]: And I'm like, well, I sure saw lots of tickets, guys.
- 1:38:14[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's a feud for startups, but it's not that hard to figure out.
- 1:38:20[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if that was a huge question.
- 1:38:22[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 1:38:22[UNKNOWN]: Was this a last year thing?
- 1:38:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, last year thing.
- 1:38:25[UNKNOWN]: Like something like that.
- 1:38:26[UNKNOWN]: It didn't actually go.
- 1:38:27[UNKNOWN]: No, the next year happened and it didn't do anything.
- 1:38:29[UNKNOWN]: But it did.
- 1:38:29[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 1:38:31[UNKNOWN]: I feel like too many.
- 1:38:32[UNKNOWN]: I'm assuming this is an American complaint.
- 1:38:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:38:35[UNKNOWN]: And I feel like too many Americans.
- 1:38:38[UNKNOWN]: They want the booking to be as dramatic as possible.
- 1:38:42[UNKNOWN]: And there's a lot to be said for.
- 1:38:45[UNKNOWN]: a long burn that is built on a lot of understated dot in your face feelings, right?
- 1:38:54[UNKNOWN]: And it also makes it more entertaining as an audience because you can't be entirely sure that what you're seeing is actually there, right?
- 1:39:03[UNKNOWN]: So yeah.
- 1:39:07[UNKNOWN]: All right, so overall this is easily the fucking best of the start of shows we're going to talk about I mean blue away the two Sapporo shows about talk about it's one of my favorite shows the entire my I think it is my very show the tour of the tour of the tour so far So I mean I may have end that great and I'm few other matches over the light you see like a lot of people are lower on to me But I don't have to show it's great.
- 1:39:25[UNKNOWN]: So no, I'm I'm on the same page as you with that
- 1:39:28[UNKNOWN]: It was one of the best shows this week as well.
- 1:39:30[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, even people who are like normally more and to start not just like the haters, but didn't seem to be as high on this show as I was, but I love this show.
- 1:39:39[UNKNOWN]: So, so make it the blue stars standing because we're not going to talk about the blue stars unless this episode because the Sapphire shows are both right stars only.
- 1:39:48[UNKNOWN]: So blue stars A right now, remember the top three advance.
- 1:39:52[UNKNOWN]: Suge Suzuki is still sitting here undefeated 4 and 0 for 8 points.
- 1:39:55[UNKNOWN]: Raka and Julia Hart are both 3 and 1 for 6 points.
- 1:39:59[UNKNOWN]: Raka has a direct tiebreaker over Julia.
- 1:40:02[UNKNOWN]: Hanako is 2 and 2 for 4 points.
- 1:40:04[UNKNOWN]: Ayasaka, Amisaki, Hina are all 2 and 3 for 4 points.
- 1:40:07[UNKNOWN]: And Rion is on 5 for 0 points.
- 1:40:10[UNKNOWN]: I've made peace the fact that Fak and Julia Hart is getting through this block.
- 1:40:13[UNKNOWN]: I mean, hopefully she's going out in the first fucking round of the knockout, but she's definitely, there's like Tony Con was not going to let her get blocked unless she got through this block.
- 1:40:20[UNKNOWN]: So, whatever.
- 1:40:22[UNKNOWN]: Especially when three per block, I mean, I'm not even, there's like me hating on Tony Con, by the way.
- 1:40:27[UNKNOWN]: I'm not where people take that the wrong way.
- 1:40:29[UNKNOWN]: If three per block out of a block of eight got through, and I was a promoter, loaning out my talent, I would also demand my rest to get through, probably.
- 1:40:36[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, that's just a lot of things.
- 1:40:40[UNKNOWN]: Three out of eight is a lot of people.
- 1:40:44[UNKNOWN]: Blue stars B, Momo Wattenabe is leading this block three one and one for seven points, but she only has two matches remaining.
- 1:40:52[UNKNOWN]: Hanan is, Hanan and Kitsai Kamantani are, well, Hanan is three and one, size two and two, people have six points with two matches remaining, I should say yeah.
- 1:41:14[UNKNOWN]: All right, let's go to the or even stand out of you.
- 1:41:16[UNKNOWN]: What do you think for the happen with these blue blocks so I was going to say do you want to make some guesses based on how we're sitting a little over halfway Like advancing out of each block so I think we will agree
- 1:41:41[UNKNOWN]: She's only two and two and with four points, but she has like three matches left.
- 1:41:45[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I think we have.
- 1:41:47[UNKNOWN]: Where's Ayahsucker in the standings?
- 1:41:49[UNKNOWN]: She's two and three.
- 1:41:50[UNKNOWN]: So she would have to win both her matches and get help.
- 1:41:52[UNKNOWN]: So that's why I don't see it.
- 1:41:54[UNKNOWN]: I don't see it for her or me.
- 1:41:56[UNKNOWN]: I think they're both that.
- 1:41:57[UNKNOWN]: They're both pretty much not going to be it.
- 1:41:58[UNKNOWN]: I think it's going to be, I think if Sue's you Julia and either were Waka or Hanukkah or Hanukkah and I'm praying at Hanukkah.
- 1:42:05[UNKNOWN]: I could see it being rock, although it feels like she's being she's been given much bigger wins this time around well, yeah, yeah, I'm going to pick on it, I'm going to pick rocker, I do kind of hope it's on a coat, but honestly, rock and Hanako have been about the same for me in terms of performance this far.
- 1:42:35[UNKNOWN]: Hanan and Hanan for sure.
- 1:42:36[UNKNOWN]: I saw a count of tiny for sure.
- 1:42:38[UNKNOWN]: Yep, agreed.
- 1:42:40[UNKNOWN]: Although I can give you the idea is a chance she doesn't get through if they go to do something with her new Tommy instead.
- 1:42:44[UNKNOWN]: But that's probably, but they're probably, because her Tommy's not getting through as we're talking about.
- 1:42:48[UNKNOWN]: Yep, but I think it's more likely she gets through and like warns it over her Tommy.
- 1:42:53[UNKNOWN]: Like, oh, see you're still on my level.
- 1:42:55[UNKNOWN]: So I'm going to say Hanan and Saia for sure is the locks.
- 1:42:59[UNKNOWN]: Then I, you know what, my mobile probably, my mobile probably gets through to actually.
- 1:43:04[UNKNOWN]: Yes, she's the Western champion as well.
- 1:43:06[UNKNOWN]: I mean, no Starlight kid, somebody that's an argument for sign and not getting through.
- 1:43:10[UNKNOWN]: Maybe I've started like in a set of sia.
- 1:43:13[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I'm sorry.
- 1:43:14[UNKNOWN]: Probably has no chance, and then the other ones are pretty much out already.
- 1:43:18[UNKNOWN]: So, and Sia Yeah, they, they, what they did of draw.
- 1:43:27[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they didn't face her.
- 1:43:28[UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to remember who Sya Kamatoni's last match is.
- 1:43:33[UNKNOWN]: Uh, hang on.
- 1:43:34[UNKNOWN]: You got that whole docked.
- 1:43:36[UNKNOWN]: I have that whole dock, hang on.
- 1:43:39[UNKNOWN]: I feel like that would tell us a lot because if that looks like a potential upset, then her last match is against him on.
- 1:43:46[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 1:43:47[UNKNOWN]: That feels, I'm not exactly out.
- 1:43:51[UNKNOWN]: that feels very possible, doesn't it?
- 1:43:54[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so the last night, Hanan faces Sia, which is gonna be your main event probably.
- 1:43:59[UNKNOWN]: And Hanan faces Starlight Kid.
- 1:44:02[UNKNOWN]: So you can have Hanan, Hanan, you have Starlight Kid, be Hanane, be Hanane to go to like either 7 or 8 or 9 points at that point.
- 1:44:13[UNKNOWN]: And then Hanan and Sia becomes like winners in and losers out.
- 1:44:17[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, Hanan beats her.
- 1:44:20[UNKNOWN]: That could be it.
- 1:44:21[UNKNOWN]: And then Sia and Tomi didn't make it could be.
- 1:44:25[UNKNOWN]: That could be a fun.
- 1:44:26[UNKNOWN]: That's crazy, but also a kind of make sense because it's not like Sia and who Tommy need to face each other for anything other than pride right now.
- 1:44:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so there you go.
- 1:44:39[UNKNOWN]: That could be what's happening.
- 1:44:49[UNKNOWN]: That might be for a get theory up on Blue and Blue A.
- 1:44:52[UNKNOWN]: So as you be, so as you're against, oh, so as you're against, really hard, because it still says very previously.
- 1:44:57[UNKNOWN]: Is the last, yeah.
- 1:44:59[UNKNOWN]: That can also be one that decides who gets through.
- 1:45:02[UNKNOWN]: More than I guess, I should get first probably.
- 1:45:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, maybe you get first.
- 1:45:08[UNKNOWN]: God, if they have Julia Hart beats, so as this is okay, you can, you can let Julia Hart through without having her beat her, your champ come on.
- 1:45:20[UNKNOWN]: Um, Edo versus Konami on the last night, also really interesting.
- 1:45:24[UNKNOWN]: So, and this is all stuff that you'll probably be covering in the next part, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:45:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I just wanted you to get in the blue block stuff because we're not going to talk about blue block anymore separate two shows again or both only red block.
- 1:45:47[UNKNOWN]: So the second of the three shows here as we're already what an hour and 45 minutes and there's a lot of these.
- 1:45:54[UNKNOWN]: We have like seven promotions recovering this week.
- 1:45:57[UNKNOWN]: We are not going to bed until like three a.m.
- 1:46:01[UNKNOWN]: uh... starting for five-star grandfrey and saffron dain one saturday on his aith from the chapter lies goto kingdom saffron very bad french i know five hundred ninety six people that place looks awesome i remember i looked it up last year when they were there it looks like this cool f**king on sent hotel looks like a castle or something in saffron oh with a french name so you know it's fancy yeah i want to go there
- 1:46:25[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Wachisuke Yamon, Emma Vaishima, B. Saida, Emma Tori-Hamabe, and the non-tornment opener was Wachapitting Matoi, and 717 with the Aussie Suplex.
- 1:46:35[UNKNOWN]: Quick little tag opener, not much too much to one-half stars.
- 1:46:40[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yep, I went two and three-quarter, right at a good enough time.
- 1:46:42[UNKNOWN]: Let's move on.
- 1:46:44[UNKNOWN]: Red Star is A, Tomoka Inava be Akira Kuragane and 657 with the Tomoka whirlwind kick that moved to her to 3 and 3 for 6 points at this point while Akira was 111 for 1 point.
- 1:46:57[UNKNOWN]: Both girls started out a little hesitant to lock up for Akira suddenly just rolled her up for a 2 count.
- 1:47:03[UNKNOWN]: Tomoka ended up getting Akira in a very tight head scissors, but fortunately get the rope to break.
- 1:47:08[UNKNOWN]: Tomoka like, honestly it's a very simple move.
- 1:47:10[UNKNOWN]: She has one of the best head scissors in the business.
- 1:47:12[UNKNOWN]: He's like, locks those legs of hers over your neck and just squeezes.
- 1:47:17[UNKNOWN]: If you also need for a super stiff soccer ball kick to the back, that got a two count.
- 1:47:23[UNKNOWN]: Akira was able, such a great underdog, and she got people to pop for a simple buy slam, but she made it look like a soccer struggle, even just getting that.
- 1:47:31[UNKNOWN]: And anyhow, Tomica kicks her head off of the pen.
- 1:47:33[UNKNOWN]: Fun little opener, three and a quarter stars.
- 1:47:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I also went through in a quarter.
- 1:47:40[UNKNOWN]: I like how aggressive Akira continues to be, even though she's been eliminated at this point.
- 1:47:47[UNKNOWN]: There is, even when there's not meaningful points in the line, though there is for Tomica.
- 1:47:55[UNKNOWN]: She's not eliminated yet, I believe.
- 1:47:58[UNKNOWN]: There is still drama and just watching someone fight for pride like we do here.
- 1:48:07[UNKNOWN]: Um, it is not the most impressive round Robin tournament debut.
- 1:48:12[UNKNOWN]: We'll we'll talk more about impressive debut of that caliber and like new Japan, um, but she comes across great here.
- 1:48:20[UNKNOWN]: Um, it's only because she just has the vibe of a fucking shark, um, and, uh, even if she's not going to get a lot of wins, still makes for compelling viewing.
- 1:48:34[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the next match was Azumi and Natsuka Tora going to a draw in 942, a WDQ, Azumi Zan3, one of them one in Toras now 2-2 and 2 at this point and runs stars A.
- 1:48:48[UNKNOWN]: So Tora came out already holding Azumi and I had luck.
- 1:48:51[UNKNOWN]: The cameras unfortunately had trouble finding them as superseded to do the typical hate things that are on the outside.
- 1:48:55[UNKNOWN]: Uh, thankfully not for very long now because as I'm going to talk about my future pan, I've really had enough of fucking crowd-drawing.
- 1:49:01[UNKNOWN]: and my life at this point.
- 1:49:04[UNKNOWN]: But then once they got back in, those shots were right back out.
- 1:49:07[UNKNOWN]: So they did do it more at that point, actually.
- 1:49:10[UNKNOWN]: The two of them ended up fighting over a chair on the ring, barred in some coin for WDQ to completely got thrown around.
- 1:49:15[UNKNOWN]: It wasn't very good even before the knot ending.
- 1:49:18[UNKNOWN]: Just kind of a weird match all around.
- 1:49:20[UNKNOWN]: I guess it wasn't horrible, but it was like two and a half, it was just very average at best.
- 1:49:24[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I just had enough.
- 1:49:25[UNKNOWN]: Just expected more to these two, especially.
- 1:49:27[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they had a really good match last year.
- 1:49:30[UNKNOWN]: This is not really good.
- 1:49:31[UNKNOWN]: It's the average ranch.
- 1:49:33[UNKNOWN]: You said two and a half stars for this?
- 1:49:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:49:36[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:49:36[UNKNOWN]: I've been three and a half.
- 1:49:37[UNKNOWN]: I enjoyed it.
- 1:49:38[UNKNOWN]: I enjoyed it a fair bit.
- 1:49:42[UNKNOWN]: I like that.
- 1:49:46[UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to read my notes here and interpret them.
- 1:49:48[UNKNOWN]: Because gosh, it's been a week.
- 1:49:52[UNKNOWN]: The, I have a note here that
- 1:50:00[UNKNOWN]: able to wiggle out of what could have been a loss for her because of that.
- 1:50:06[UNKNOWN]: I don't remember the circumstances though.
- 1:50:09[UNKNOWN]: So sorry, I don't have anything useful to say in defense of this match.
- 1:50:13[UNKNOWN]: We'll have to move on, I guess.
- 1:50:17[UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we had a tag team match, which was not too far in Serriano, being in Psychicura and Anacania.
- 1:50:25[UNKNOWN]: It was Serri, a pinning Anac, an 860 with a German super exalt.
- 1:50:29[UNKNOWN]: Watching this match, I was just like, how is poor?
- 1:50:31[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to do things like slugging her junior wrestlers in the chest as hard as she possibly can to switch tires.
- 1:50:37[UNKNOWN]: She ain't going to have to let her like let her crush it out and then because it's like she looks about as She looks like she has about as much fun doing that as any at any wrestler in Joe She which is already filled with like blood thirsty wrestlers So that is really saying something These not-sointesturi tags have been super they just got super hard.
- 1:50:56[UNKNOWN]: I'm pretty much every five star show they've been on Really no exception Pretty much non-stop actions as these these two conflict angel teams beat the shit out of each other for our entertainment
- 1:51:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Sarri pinned on me with a typically beautiful German super ex-old three and a half stars damn good match I wouldn't even hire three and three quarters I think Cosmic Angels are just great at casually over delivering in an intro-faction tag match They're terrific together here
- 1:51:25[UNKNOWN]: Well, remember that six woman tag match last year of the artist titles, it was like, yeah, boy, poiserie and, uh, and Tam against, uh, Cucarara and unimmon, I think, yep, the the senior cosmic angels versus the junior cosmic angels.
- 1:51:40[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 1:51:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that was awesome.
- 1:51:43[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 1:51:43[UNKNOWN]: Some more dynamic here.
- 1:51:45[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 1:51:47[UNKNOWN]: Mackey, you don't wanna zoom in now, but I went to a draw in 15 minutes.
- 1:51:51[UNKNOWN]: Time, I'm gonna draw here, and rugby.
- 1:51:53[UNKNOWN]: Mackey goes to two, one, and two, for six points, and a zoom set goes to one, three, and two.
- 1:51:59[UNKNOWN]: First of all, E2 and a zoom set, it's the second draw, but they don't already by the lights.
- 1:52:02[UNKNOWN]: They may notice, not the last though.
- 1:52:05[UNKNOWN]: First, E2 and a zoom set did some basic chain wrestling.
- 1:52:08[UNKNOWN]: Then it decided to have a cutoff.
- 1:52:09[UNKNOWN]: That was funny.
- 1:52:10[UNKNOWN]: They both were like, he like posing, like, oh, they got out their hands over the face or whatever.
- 1:52:14[UNKNOWN]: That was kind of funny.
- 1:52:16[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I don't know why I didn't have the sound effects for that.
- 1:52:18[UNKNOWN]: They did some weirdly nonchalantauts thing of each other to chairs.
- 1:52:22[UNKNOWN]: You know, just lounging on them after, as you said, and to end them was pretty funny.
- 1:52:25[UNKNOWN]: I thought, um, not a lot of super interesting that happened in this match.
- 1:52:31[UNKNOWN]: Um, I do like mocking, starting to paint.
- 1:52:33[UNKNOWN]: For us to do so much slabs, only for as you said, to answer back on some pretty hard shots right after that.
- 1:52:38[UNKNOWN]: That was cool.
- 1:52:39[UNKNOWN]: Um,
- 1:52:41[UNKNOWN]: Machi came back with a DDT and that a big running boot up against the ropes that would have rain booted like Narlay and the end started to get reasonably exciting at the time started to run out but uh you know then the time ran out and it's like Jesus Christ what's with all these draws lately did happen and come back and not tell anybody uh it was fine you know general one's three for me uh yeah I also went general moments three on this um
- 1:53:07[UNKNOWN]: Some pretty funny bits with Azusa trying to out-cute Edo, which is Kusugaki behavior.
- 1:53:14[UNKNOWN]: The otherwise, I just thought the match kind of me entered and Peter doubt.
- 1:53:22[UNKNOWN]: I would like to see them run it back with a definitive ending, please.
- 1:53:29[UNKNOWN]: Then we had the next match, actually, so after you're mentioned, this is where the show picked up.
- 1:53:34[UNKNOWN]: And the pre-term rest of the stuff really wasn't anything special.
- 1:53:37[UNKNOWN]: I thought the last rematch was already good, that one kind of saved the show.
- 1:53:40[UNKNOWN]: So we had, I'm sorry, Rina Yamashita, beating Kmanami in 1026 for the implant.
- 1:53:48[UNKNOWN]: Arena goes to 3-1-2, and Konami goes to 3-2, so every second straight loss here, you know, hard-hitting, just two ladies beat the shit out of each other, which I'm always down for, and if anything, I wish to stick on a little longer, honestly, like, you know, you're much to spike to what the implant and pin direct the 10-minute call.
- 1:54:05[UNKNOWN]: There's a big surprise made, and nothing's returning this.
- 1:54:07[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, 3-3-quarters, very good match.
- 1:54:10[UNKNOWN]: Just definitely want to enjoy it.
- 1:54:12[UNKNOWN]: It felt like the show got back on track here.
- 1:54:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I also went 3-3-3-quarters for this one.
- 1:54:18[UNKNOWN]: I think of Rina has shown some range.
- 1:54:22[UNKNOWN]: Let's put it that way during this tournament.
- 1:54:25[UNKNOWN]: And not all of that range has been fully appreciated by Stardom fans, even the same ones.
- 1:54:34[UNKNOWN]: But when she goes hard, she is totato with any of them really.
- 1:54:44[UNKNOWN]: appreciated this.
- 1:54:45[UNKNOWN]: It was also good to see someone finally think to just block the black face spray with their hands.
- 1:54:55[UNKNOWN]: So quick thinking on her part.
- 1:55:00[UNKNOWN]: Uh, then we have the next match, which was a 15-minute time limit draw.
- 1:55:07[UNKNOWN]: Micah and Reena went to a 50-minute time of draw in red A.
- 1:55:10[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Micah is now free one and one and Reena is now two, two and one.
- 1:55:16[UNKNOWN]: Um, okay, so get this.
- 1:55:17[UNKNOWN]: Micah attacked Reena from behind in the Iowa.
- 1:55:21[UNKNOWN]: Genuinely shocking.
- 1:55:23[UNKNOWN]: I was taking it back when I saw that.
- 1:55:28[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, much like the last match, the previous match, this one had an intensity that the entire pre-intermission stuff just did not have.
- 1:55:34[UNKNOWN]: So that was cool.
- 1:55:36[UNKNOWN]: Much more like what we come to expect from this tournament, then it's what the most of the pre-intermission stuff was like.
- 1:55:53[UNKNOWN]: Uh, they could easily broken her arm to be honest like that was something.
- 1:55:57[UNKNOWN]: Um, they fought out to the floor, Mike and hit a big boot on Reno, but Reno came back with a diving double knees off the apron of the floor, which he just crushed her on.
- 1:56:08[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Mike, although immediately hit a backdrop, super flex on her, they tease the double can out, which would be,
- 1:56:12[UNKNOWN]: I've wrote down there to be some real terrorism at the real only booking after you already got two draws.
- 1:56:16[UNKNOWN]: Oh, don't worry, the draw was coming anyway.
- 1:56:20[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they both made it back in at 19, but the other were still only two minutes left at this point.
- 1:56:26[UNKNOWN]: But the whole secret fact of the ring was awesome.
- 1:56:28[UNKNOWN]: The height of the match, the traded board blows, they kept no selling each other, where Rina caught Micah trying for the roaring larry and turned as straight into a judo throw out of the crowd.
- 1:56:36[UNKNOWN]: I'm crazy for that, too.
- 1:56:38[UNKNOWN]: Um, then we had, uh, they just ran at each other while both screaming before Rina nearly took her head off of the big boot, but Micah almost killed her with her own running where I yet, uh, and then a second spinning one, but yes, it's another damn draw as the time limit right out, not long after that.
- 1:56:58[UNKNOWN]: Very good batch.
- 1:56:59[UNKNOWN]: I went three and three quarters.
- 1:57:00[UNKNOWN]: I was just a tiny bit better than the previous match, but not quite a notebook quality.
- 1:57:06[UNKNOWN]: It would be again just the annoyance of a third-stray draw by the hat I'd want to do with it, honestly.
- 1:57:12[UNKNOWN]: I went three and a half, so a slight step down from you, partly because this was one of those where it felt like they were meandering towards what I thought would be a finish, but it turns out just a 15-minute draw.
- 1:57:32[UNKNOWN]: Then we had the made event, which was Utami Ashishida, beating Lady C and 11 minutes later, seconds with the torturac bomb.
- 1:57:40[UNKNOWN]: Utami goes through two, two, and one.
- 1:57:41[UNKNOWN]: Our Lady C falls to one in five.
- 1:57:46[UNKNOWN]: There was a kind of weird choice for a main, but my, I was like, I was one of them from here.
- 1:57:51[UNKNOWN]: I don't think so.
- 1:57:52[UNKNOWN]: No, it's fun.
- 1:57:53[UNKNOWN]: It's a good question.
- 1:57:54[UNKNOWN]: It's a good question.
- 1:57:55[UNKNOWN]: That was, that was the reason.
- 1:57:57[UNKNOWN]: That's why I was going to say.
- 1:57:58[UNKNOWN]: But I just thought it was funny.
- 1:57:59[UNKNOWN]: I looked up their hometowns like Otami's from Kagoshima.
- 1:58:02[UNKNOWN]: Let me see some Chiba, which it must suck to be from Chiba.
- 1:58:06[UNKNOWN]: It's like the New Jersey, it's like one of the New Jersey's of Japan, like that in Saitama, but at least Saitama can say they have things that are actually called Saitama, like Saitama's super arena, everything in Saitama is called...
- 1:58:17[UNKNOWN]: It's a big city, but it's a big city, but it's attached to a much bigger city, and it's famously suburb of the much bigger city.
- 1:58:25[UNKNOWN]: No, no, I think you'll come and can see it on its own, like because you have...
- 1:58:28[UNKNOWN]: Okay, the Tokyo Metro Air is so big, it's so big, Jersey though.
- 1:58:32[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, the Tokyo Bridge is so gigantic that you can have multiple things like that.
- 1:58:38[UNKNOWN]: But no, she was a much better New Jersey of Japan because there's no big cities, just like New Jersey isn't that many big cities, like New York's out of that big.
- 1:58:46[UNKNOWN]: And on top of that, everything there is something something Tokyo, just like everything in everything in New Jersey is called something New York.
- 1:58:56[UNKNOWN]: That's definitely true, all the sports teams also pretend to be from.
- 1:59:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so Chiba has like Tokyo Disney World.
- 1:59:04[UNKNOWN]: Tokyo Disneyland actually, I think it is.
- 1:59:06[UNKNOWN]: It has Nari to Airport, which is called a Tokyo Airport, despite the fact that it's way out there in Chiba.
- 1:59:11[UNKNOWN]: There's like a Tokyo German village or something.
- 1:59:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like a lot of shit that's called Tokyo.
- 1:59:18[UNKNOWN]: I made the mistake when I was booking the return flight of booking it in the Rita.
- 1:59:23[UNKNOWN]: and not realizing how fucking far away there was.
- 1:59:26[UNKNOWN]: It's so much far in the United States.
- 1:59:27[UNKNOWN]: Well, you don't know how lucky we have it now that we can even go to the United States.
- 1:59:30[UNKNOWN]: When I first started going into Japan in 2016, there were almost none, no American flights.
- 1:59:34[UNKNOWN]: Because they expanded the international terminal, basically.
- 1:59:37[UNKNOWN]: It used to be like, it used to be a faker in the international airport and then it would get flights from South Korea that's right there.
- 1:59:43[UNKNOWN]: But it didn't really get that many flights from far away.
- 1:59:45[UNKNOWN]: Now, all the New York area flights, except for one, go to go to the United States and say,
- 1:59:53[UNKNOWN]: I flew to Naruto quite a bunch when I first started traveling there 10 years ago, but now now I know pretty much never have to, unless I really do something weird.
- 2:00:01[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, I could forget the ANA and JL flights all go to NADA and there's the New York, I think the American airline flights also all go to NADA and I think you NADA has one Nari to steal with the other one in NADA.
- 2:00:13[UNKNOWN]: So there's really no reason to go to Nari to from New York and what's the
- 2:00:23[UNKNOWN]: Oh, uh, so I flew into Henaida, but I flew out of Narita.
- 2:00:27[UNKNOWN]: I know, but like, where in New America?
- 2:00:29[UNKNOWN]: Because I know you'd do a stop over.
- 2:00:31[UNKNOWN]: Oh, uh, from Chicago.
- 2:00:33[UNKNOWN]: Got it.
- 2:00:33[UNKNOWN]: Okay, so I guess Chicago is yours.
- 2:00:34[UNKNOWN]: So I'm Narita.
- 2:00:36[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:00:37[UNKNOWN]: Uh, so the main event, like I said, you're Tommy Beating.
- 2:00:40[UNKNOWN]: Lazy.
- 2:00:40[UNKNOWN]: I was like, where did we get on that?
- 2:00:41[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, because Lazy is from the land of Cheba.
- 2:00:44[UNKNOWN]: The fake Tokyo.
- 2:00:49[UNKNOWN]: utami, you know, she took control right away as you'd expect, but I liked lady answering her big shoulder block right back one of her own, like basically her being like, I'm not going to be a push over here.
- 2:00:58[UNKNOWN]: I've changed since you last knew me.
- 2:01:01[UNKNOWN]: She didn't got the giant swing relatively early, but she couldn't really hold up with utami very very long on it.
- 2:01:06[UNKNOWN]: So I've just kind of dropped her.
- 2:01:08[UNKNOWN]: So she just right at the middle and did it again.
- 2:01:11[UNKNOWN]: which I don't, I couldn't tell that was supposed to have or not, but even it wasn't, it worked for the match.
- 2:01:16[UNKNOWN]: But because this time she didn't get ten rotations.
- 2:01:18[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know what Tommy's, you know, she's heavy.
- 2:01:20[UNKNOWN]: And this is when it comes to started wrestlers, you know, she's not a small woman.
- 2:01:24[UNKNOWN]: So that was, you know, I was just sucking up her body, which is 72 kilos, so it's pretty, you know, like 160 pounds, pretty on the heavy side for a show she wrestler.
- 2:01:34[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this was a, oh god, I closed it.
- 2:01:36[UNKNOWN]: No, I didn't.
- 2:01:36[UNKNOWN]: Sorry.
- 2:01:38[UNKNOWN]: But yes, you know, if you got the giant string out, I got the ten rotations.
- 2:01:41[UNKNOWN]: Everything in this match just had a lot of snap to it.
- 2:01:44[UNKNOWN]: You know, from the, the great big boot lady did to Tom against the ropes.
- 2:01:48[UNKNOWN]: By the way, I was not calling a Tommy Fat, like Patman was before somebody tells him he was doing that.
- 2:01:53[UNKNOWN]: Just telling you her actual weight is a little bit heavy.
- 2:01:55[UNKNOWN]: Just not look, the woman does not look fat.
- 2:01:57[UNKNOWN]: So Rossy hasn't, Rossy loves two things.
- 2:02:01[UNKNOWN]: Calling them in fat and being barated by women.
- 2:02:04[UNKNOWN]: That's his sex.
- 2:02:04[UNKNOWN]: Being barated by women who don't work for his company, especially those who's two favorite things.
- 2:02:08[UNKNOWN]: So, because you've seen Navi Saga did it again, too, at the Mario World, in order for sure.
- 2:02:13[UNKNOWN]: Well, like every shit in there.
- 2:02:16[UNKNOWN]: I had a tweet that actually kind of got like, got me treated by this big accounts.
- 2:02:19[UNKNOWN]: I was worried I was going to get me way more hate, but nobody seemed to care.
- 2:02:21[UNKNOWN]: But it seems like my tweet was something like, every independent Josie wrestler within like a 50 mile radius of any Mario Go show gets pulled in, like it has a gravitational pull to come in the building and go, Mario Gold more like Mario Garbage in my right because they all do it.
- 2:02:37[UNKNOWN]: They all show up to bury this fucking company.
- 2:02:40[UNKNOWN]: Like, Jesus, and when Syrian cheats you do it, well, you could say that's part of their gimmick, wherever they go, but when Noggy does it, that's stop part of her gimmick.
- 2:02:51[UNKNOWN]: That comes across as she's just speaking from the heart.
- 2:02:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think she said something like, oh, you got a big fish, got a way, didn't you?
- 2:02:58[UNKNOWN]: You're not saying what I was like, damn.
- 2:03:10[UNKNOWN]: he's gonna matter but that was quite a while ago so it feels like it's it's utami I feel like utami also is much more established within the industry yeah yeah I'm sure she meant I just make a joke about how many people they've lost sure is they've lost him out of one's tail not even like you know so they lost Julia to start they've lost a bunch of rookies who trained but couldn't
- 2:03:39[UNKNOWN]: We'll talk.
- 2:03:40[UNKNOWN]: We'll talk all about it because we do still have marigold on the schedule.
- 2:03:43[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah.
- 2:03:44[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:03:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:03:46[UNKNOWN]: So, Tommy, everything that's matched you like I said, how well I've snapped to it.
- 2:03:50[UNKNOWN]: Great big Bootley did to Tommy against the ropes.
- 2:03:53[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Tommy just rocked all sorts of strikes around his great snap.
- 2:03:57[UNKNOWN]: Lady just planted her at one point with a choke slam that earned her a very close near fall She had another big boot after kicking out at one for something.
- 2:04:04[UNKNOWN]: I didn't write down fast And I didn't feel like we were riding apparently But her timing came back with two straight German super Lexus that both dropped her out of her head And after Lady no soul the first one and hit this huge larry at fur two count
- 2:04:16[UNKNOWN]: Utami then hit a big delay German just had a 10 minute call, but Lady was able to kick out once again, but she really had nothing left at this point.
- 2:04:24[UNKNOWN]: She kind of grabbed onto Utami's ankle, so Utami lifted her up and killed her another layer yet, for hitting the spinning Argentine drop, the spinning torture right, the very decisive pen.
- 2:04:35[UNKNOWN]: I thought this was awesome.
- 2:04:36[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was easily matched the night.
- 2:04:38[UNKNOWN]: Lady Guy did just enough hope spots to look competent, but it was still very obvious that which obviously on another level entirely, which is both how it should be and also a very tough match to make this good.
- 2:04:49[UNKNOWN]: I was forced ours on this.
- 2:04:50[UNKNOWN]: I seem to be hired in everybody on it because cage match again was like 6.63.
- 2:04:54[UNKNOWN]: And the cage match was a little pretty close to Manel last two, but I guess I'm going to be cage match against a mental lunch on this one, I guess, but I thought it was awesome.
- 2:05:01[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 2:05:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm closer to you than I am to cage match on this.
- 2:05:08[UNKNOWN]: I'm in three and three quarters.
- 2:05:10[UNKNOWN]: You touched everything I wanted to say.
- 2:05:12[UNKNOWN]: You touched on everything I wanted to say.
- 2:05:14[UNKNOWN]: This was Lady C showing how much she has developed since utami has been gone.
- 2:05:21[UNKNOWN]: And this is also utami is serving herself and being the boss that she is and winning quite convincingly.
- 2:05:30[UNKNOWN]: it was still highly entertaining, even if the result wasn't really endowed, again, these are both such great pros, utami is so good at selling.
- 2:05:41[UNKNOWN]: I feel like that's just an element of her game.
- 2:05:44[UNKNOWN]: We're really growing to appreciate collectively during this five star, partly because she's been losing a lot more than I expected.
- 2:05:52[UNKNOWN]: But also, it's just lovely that this also ended with Lady C.
- 2:06:00[UNKNOWN]: Once again, we into Stardom show that's main event at Utami and the person who was wrestling her like has a tearful.
- 2:06:07[UNKNOWN]: I'm so glad you're back, which is still good to see.
- 2:06:10[UNKNOWN]: I never get tired of it.
- 2:06:14[UNKNOWN]: Now we, yeah, you know, show ended better than I started for sure.
- 2:06:16[UNKNOWN]: It's a pretty black Western undercard, especially by five star standards this year.
- 2:06:20[UNKNOWN]: But the last few matches were really good.
- 2:06:21[UNKNOWN]: So whatever, not wasn't a tall disaster.
- 2:06:23[UNKNOWN]: No, it was fun.
- 2:06:26[UNKNOWN]: Saturday show, this show was like the exact opposite of the Friday show on Sunday show, I should say, the exact opposite of the Saturday show, where it started out better and then kind of peered off.
- 2:06:35[UNKNOWN]: But this is also from Sapporo, 7 or the 60 people.
- 2:06:38[UNKNOWN]: I didn't tell about the attendance.
- 2:06:40[UNKNOWN]: So of the first night, the first day, it had 592, which was up from 455 last year for the first night.
- 2:06:48[UNKNOWN]: The second night, the seventh 16, which was up even more from the second night last year.
- 2:06:51[UNKNOWN]: The last year, second night only did four or seven last
- 2:06:55[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, to combine the two stop brochures are up four to 46 total.
- 2:06:59[UNKNOWN]: So pretty fucking good show any of them starting me over here.
- 2:07:04[UNKNOWN]: This show and they call that full house, by the way.
- 2:07:06[UNKNOWN]: So I don't think it was quite super no vacancy, but it was pretty close, I guess.
- 2:07:10[UNKNOWN]: Opener was Natsuba Tora, beating Psychicura in 728 with a Swantam Bomb.
- 2:07:16[UNKNOWN]: Tora goes to 3-2-2-2, and Saik, I mean, why goes to 2-5, they're both done, so that's it for them, because it's a 7-match.
- 2:07:23[UNKNOWN]: So Saikah ends with one of a huge losing streak, which is interesting booking, I have to see where it goes from here.
- 2:07:28[UNKNOWN]: Um, crowd actually started chanting for Tore after she woke her out of the, in the chairs early, which was weird.
- 2:07:34[UNKNOWN]: Don't hear Tore get chanted for very often.
- 2:07:36[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Tore got Kura and a choke sleeper, which is, I guess is a real, that's what I've been doing to people.
- 2:07:42[UNKNOWN]: Won't for her because she obviously always does that to everybody else.
- 2:07:46[UNKNOWN]: Um, she did make the ropes though.
- 2:07:48[UNKNOWN]: Tor missed the swan top the top the first time she tried it, correct me the flip forward into a pin attempt for a near fall, very cool little spot there.
- 2:07:55[UNKNOWN]: But Tor just stuffed her on her first attempt of the Tokyo Mickey Spear, but I saw like I came back with a sort of spear in the corner instead, then bounced out the rope from our momentum and got it right again on the second try with a huge spear, but Tor kicked out.
- 2:08:09[UNKNOWN]: uh... tore those able to come back with a huge larry after blocking a car as attempt at the toky meki arrow um... then hit her with a swan time the second try for the pin which end of car as disastrous losing streak at the end so yeah this had more energy then the entire first half of the sapper of car less than i think especially the non-torm especially the tour matches i should say um... and yet this is three to half good match of which i got more time on anything
- 2:08:37[UNKNOWN]: While I'm ranting about people who are stupid with star opinions, how the fuck do people still think psych occur or a socks?
- 2:08:42[UNKNOWN]: I don't understand it.
- 2:08:44[UNKNOWN]: Like there's no one other update their takes.
- 2:08:47[UNKNOWN]: I never thought she sucked either to begin with, so I'm not one of those people, but she's so much better than she was even like a year ago now.
- 2:08:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 2:08:56[UNKNOWN]: No, she is, she is, she is, she is really aggressive, she is really aggressive, she is getting better.
- 2:09:02[UNKNOWN]: I think that,
- 2:09:03[UNKNOWN]: Her matches have actually been a cut above most of the other wrestlers, partly because they've been so short and focused, like this one was, and yes, she's been losing a lot and it feels a little weird coming directly off of a red belt run that she is losing like this already, but I actually really like that book in decision because it is kind of
- 2:09:31[UNKNOWN]: that these tournaments are grueling and it is one thing to like win the belt in one match and maybe defend it once.
- 2:09:41[UNKNOWN]: It is another to have to go in night after night and beat some of the other best talent in the world in a very restrictive time limit.
- 2:09:54[UNKNOWN]: But again, so that's at a
- 2:10:00[UNKNOWN]: the match structure, I think, for her is even better.
- 2:10:06[UNKNOWN]: The thing that's six with me about this match, actually, is just how brutal nopsycosentons look on Kurohara.
- 2:10:14[UNKNOWN]: And I think that's just because, like, she's so much bigger than Kurohara.
- 2:10:18[UNKNOWN]: Kurohara is so thin, so it looks like she flattens her like a pancake.
- 2:10:23[UNKNOWN]: When she hits her on something as standard as a centaur.
- 2:10:28[UNKNOWN]: It is not a surprising result in the context of the match for Karara Luz.
- 2:10:35[UNKNOWN]: It just felt like Natsuko was the more powerful wrestler here.
- 2:10:40[UNKNOWN]: I grew through those a little weird that she was cheered for.
- 2:10:43[UNKNOWN]: I feel like it was an element of the audience was just down to cheer for whatever.
- 2:10:48[UNKNOWN]: So when Natsuko kind of stood on the chairs and went, yeah, and I should head, everyone was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:10:58[UNKNOWN]: which was not the reaction I think she was looking for, but you know, you just roll with what you get.
- 2:11:02[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, what I was going to say about, yeah, to psych us, she has it.
- 2:11:08[UNKNOWN]: So if you're a torments over us, I can give the final answer to this tournament is 3.68, which is kind of crazy when you keep in mind that she had a lot of really short matches.
- 2:11:16[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 2:11:17[UNKNOWN]: So no offense, right?
- 2:11:18[UNKNOWN]: No, one, one main event at our home show, but much lower on the poverty.
- 2:11:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I thought she had a great fucking tournament, you know, for someone giving so little to work with sometimes timelines, especially.
- 2:11:32[UNKNOWN]: So my third highest of the block is of now behind only read on a zoo, which is not too restless, due to be a shame to be in behind by average star rating.
- 2:11:38[UNKNOWN]: So if you could still end up ahead of them because they both still have while they're actually now their last match against each other, which is going to be that's going to raise their average if anything.
- 2:11:46[UNKNOWN]: But
- 2:11:49[UNKNOWN]: Speaking of Zomi, that's the next match in red A.
- 2:11:51[UNKNOWN]: She'd be Akira Kurogane in 739 of the Newmore Uno.
- 2:11:55[UNKNOWN]: So at this point or now, as we talk, Zomi is 411 for 9 points and Akira is 0511 point.
- 2:12:02[UNKNOWN]: So Akira attacked Zomi for the bell, gave her the huge running drop hit against the ropes, and
- 2:12:07[UNKNOWN]: The match started off hot again, assuming of course, casually shrugged her off and delivered a huge soccer ball kick to the back, then did a second time for the crown after two for delivering a running pk, you know, they're cheating.
- 2:12:18[UNKNOWN]: Moe, kai, moe, kai.
- 2:12:20[UNKNOWN]: I love what it was really like starts almost like dancing to the chant, this is always funny.
- 2:12:25[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, just, there's a running pk and a standing double-somped.
- 2:12:29[UNKNOWN]: I guess just to be a dick, they had to cry out in the after that, but she was like, I'll do that too.
- 2:12:34[UNKNOWN]: As Akira got a cross-face on, Azumi reversed it into a arm stretch, the arm stretch he does.
- 2:12:40[UNKNOWN]: Again, really looking like she's carrying this poor girl's shoulder out of the socket before Akira mercilessly gets the rope break.
- 2:12:49[UNKNOWN]: Again, this is just such a more fiery mass anything we got in the first half of the prior night.
- 2:12:54[UNKNOWN]: Akira managed to counter the azumi sushi with her own roll up back out of like a 2.9 count So azumi fucking kicks her upside the head hard literally walks over her heads of top rope double stomped But Akira somehow kicks out Akira nearly crates her again, then fucking kills azumi
- 2:13:11[UNKNOWN]: with a running knee to the face for getting a half-half-half suplex from another two count.
- 2:13:16[UNKNOWN]: She ducks around housekick from a zoom-y, very nearly school-gocer again, only for a zoom-y to take her back down to the mat and get her arm stretch the new more, you know, locks back in again.
- 2:13:25[UNKNOWN]: There's time pulling back on an extra hard for the tap.
- 2:13:29[UNKNOWN]: Four stars for seven and a half in a match.
- 2:13:30[UNKNOWN]: I don't give a fuck.
- 2:13:32[UNKNOWN]: Once again on John Island compared to the fucking six point six, a cage mask gave this, but it made it wrong and I'm right.
- 2:13:38[UNKNOWN]: This match was awesome.
- 2:13:40[UNKNOWN]: No, you're right.
- 2:13:40[UNKNOWN]: I also gave it four stars.
- 2:13:42[UNKNOWN]: Oh, you got it.
- 2:13:43[UNKNOWN]: See, we both don't have any brain.
- 2:13:45[UNKNOWN]: In my brain is like, this match only one seven and a half minutes.
- 2:13:48[UNKNOWN]: So I can't be higher than six point six.
- 2:13:52[UNKNOWN]: Did I give my score for the last match, too?
- 2:13:55[UNKNOWN]: I don't think so.
- 2:13:56[UNKNOWN]: I don't think so either.
- 2:13:57[UNKNOWN]: I gave that four stars flat as well.
- 2:14:00[UNKNOWN]: This show started real hot, if you ask me.
- 2:14:04[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, this is another match where it benefited from.
- 2:14:08[UNKNOWN]: just clarity of purpose.
- 2:14:10[UNKNOWN]: In this case, Akira learning, don't pack out of the people for the bell.
- 2:14:14[UNKNOWN]: You will suffer for that.
- 2:14:17[UNKNOWN]: It was a lot of fun just watching Akira have to struggle from some really smothering offense from Asami.
- 2:14:27[UNKNOWN]: And obviously, it didn't work out for her, but what
- 2:14:35[UNKNOWN]: Again, I'm really high on what a future for Akira in big singles matches is going to look like.
- 2:14:44[UNKNOWN]: Then Natsupoi and Seriana will be Lady Sea and Waka Tsukiyama, Natsupoi pinned Waka in 1045 with the Faryl Gift.
- 2:14:53[UNKNOWN]: Serory first starts counting on the apron while Poy was getting giant swung by Lady Sea, which was fucking funny.
- 2:15:00[UNKNOWN]: And then she fucking celebrates for Waka doing her stupid butt attack, Sepoi II.
- 2:15:04[UNKNOWN]: What is wrong with her today?
- 2:15:06[UNKNOWN]: But yes, for a tag match with Waka and it, this was pretty fun, free in a corner.
- 2:15:12[UNKNOWN]: uh excuse me was great part of what are you talking about uh this was this was very much another uh long retirement road match so that means that not support has to get giant sworn as long as possible uh which i think the ultimate count was what almost uh twenty four twenty five yeah so we're around there um and they uh they even did a butt count for how often
- 2:15:41[UNKNOWN]: So, uh, how could I give this anything less than we're gonna have stars?
- 2:15:44[UNKNOWN]: It had a button in it, John.
- 2:15:47[UNKNOWN]: The butt count?
- 2:15:47[UNKNOWN]: It's like the button's out there.
- 2:15:49[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:15:51[UNKNOWN]: You didn't get the butt count number?
- 2:15:53[UNKNOWN]: Uh, no, but I saw the thing announced it.
- 2:15:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think it was 40 something.
- 2:15:56[UNKNOWN]: I think.
- 2:16:00[UNKNOWN]: uh... then we have my god being iske aoki in eleven minutes and forty seconds with the rich clush rich clush mischonoku driver tell you easy for me to say aoki goes to four and three that's their ends of torment actually and micha is down is four one and one to nine points of sister that's micha's i don't know sorry micha be ayoki so micha went to four one and one
- 2:16:20[UNKNOWN]: And I hope he's 4 and 3.
- 2:16:21[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, on a day skip a match, I did skip a match.
- 2:16:25[UNKNOWN]: I scored my pass.
- 2:16:26[UNKNOWN]: OK. OK. You go back if I had Colombe versus also so on too early.
- 2:16:30[UNKNOWN]: Nami can now be, as you see, now when red be 8, 4 and 4 seconds with the triangle dancer.
- 2:16:35[UNKNOWN]: So Colombe went to 4 and 2 and is you so went to 1, 4 and 2.
- 2:16:40[UNKNOWN]: So hate members being huge assels for each other was one of my favorite genres of matches in the five star.
- 2:16:45[UNKNOWN]: I'm boy with these two being huge assels for each other.
- 2:16:48[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Azusa, her strategy of loudly announcing, she's about to hit her own finisher, the Anagoy, like, so he's a Pokemon or something, makes it very hard to be surprised on someone simply booze, which is what Konami did here, and it can not be dropped over the big driven Siouxplex.
- 2:17:02[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, Konami tapped her out my long after that.
- 2:17:04[UNKNOWN]: I don't have a ton of notes on this.
- 2:17:06[UNKNOWN]: I guess I wasn't that into it, but I would use so good bash, three and a half.
- 2:17:11[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, I was lower than that.
- 2:17:14[UNKNOWN]: I went three stars flat, um, I don't
- 2:17:17[UNKNOWN]: really have a lot to say about it beyond.
- 2:17:19[UNKNOWN]: I can't increasingly which he vied from Komami.
- 2:17:22[UNKNOWN]: I just, I struggle to figure out what is your mind me of.
- 2:17:25[UNKNOWN]: Oh, she's an evil witch who walks to spray paints people.
- 2:17:29[UNKNOWN]: That's part of the match, by the way, was a post match actually.
- 2:17:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, where all of a sudden like honorably spray paints herself,
- 2:17:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so like she's basically like she does Sepicum.
- 2:17:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, she does Sepicum.
- 2:17:44[UNKNOWN]: She's like, okay, you beat me.
- 2:17:46[UNKNOWN]: Here, don't fucking think you're not going to do the face paint shit to me.
- 2:17:49[UNKNOWN]: Here's the face paint bed.
- 2:17:50[UNKNOWN]: She got it over with.
- 2:17:51[UNKNOWN]: That was great.
- 2:17:52[UNKNOWN]: Oh, what was it?
- 2:17:53[UNKNOWN]: It wasn't like resentful.
- 2:17:54[UNKNOWN]: It was like resizing.
- 2:17:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's true, resizing.
- 2:17:57[UNKNOWN]: She inherited the can and just sat down and was like, go ahead.
- 2:18:00[UNKNOWN]: And the community was laughing the whole time and they did hug afterwards.
- 2:18:03[UNKNOWN]: That was cute.
- 2:18:04[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, Konami, I'm not the next match.
- 2:18:06[UNKNOWN]: Mike, I'll be OK, 1140.
- 2:18:10[UNKNOWN]: This was a good hard-hanging match, especially the Larry's, they kept throwing, trying to go faster down with Mike.
- 2:18:16[UNKNOWN]: She seems surprised when I OK to have a first-page of no-good driver, but she got the pin not long after one, a second one.
- 2:18:23[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it didn't.
- 2:18:24[UNKNOWN]: Three and a half stars, not a good match.
- 2:18:26[UNKNOWN]: Another one didn't blow on me away or anything, but it was good.
- 2:18:28[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, three and a quarter.
- 2:18:30[UNKNOWN]: It was good and tough.
- 2:18:31[UNKNOWN]: The fine things to talk about with some of these matches.
- 2:18:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, this whole show became night at the 3.5 for me.
- 2:18:36[UNKNOWN]: I think I give 3.5 like almost every other match, but it's going to get to.
- 2:18:40[UNKNOWN]: It's a lot of good matches that didn't have a lot of strong feelings about.
- 2:18:44[UNKNOWN]: The next match we did not need another fucking draw, right to start as B went to a 15-minute draw to the one before went to the three of them on the night before went to three draws and two at Cork, I'm like, Jesus Christ, guys.
- 2:18:55[UNKNOWN]: This was probably the most egregious of all of them though.
- 2:18:59[UNKNOWN]: What do you mean by egregious?
- 2:19:00[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, I'll, I'll explain when we talk about the catch.
- 2:19:04[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so they're both nine points now, four, one and one for Eda, three, one and three for Yamashita.
- 2:19:08[UNKNOWN]: So the, the, the, the what's it called, the free answers also to step this weekend and including the two from JTO.
- 2:19:14[UNKNOWN]: So, um, they start by exchanging some very hard chops and slaps the chest, also did some squats for some reason.
- 2:19:22[UNKNOWN]: That led to the two of them chopping each head on the floor as well.
- 2:19:29[UNKNOWN]: of getting chopped really hard?
- 2:19:31[UNKNOWN]: Now, I guess I should try it sometime.
- 2:19:35[UNKNOWN]: Then they were standing on top of chairs up the aisle to be honest, this starts to drag for me after a while and it was quite, I'm sure it was quite fun to be live there for their live for, but like the chopping outside kind of what I'm forever.
- 2:19:48[UNKNOWN]: They even started doing behind the giant five star curtains and I'm like, what, we can't see you, like what are you doing?
- 2:19:53[UNKNOWN]: Um, the whole clothing, they were like slapping their thighs, the entire time while they were beyond answers to give each other a break.
- 2:20:01[UNKNOWN]: We're not behind a being a very long, but that was funny.
- 2:20:04[UNKNOWN]: The whole clothing shirt to the match was like I'm back in the ring and started being sort of glasses with lyrids and such was really good though.
- 2:20:09[UNKNOWN]: It made up for some of our weakness that dragged, uh, and the crowd was super hot for it, too.
- 2:20:15[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it did become a little too obvious for me that this was going the distance and I did not need to get into the draw for the last night, but I thought it was good enough to go three and a half at least and that's what I did.
- 2:20:26[UNKNOWN]: I went three flats.
- 2:20:27[UNKNOWN]: So, and the reason why I thought it was the most egregious tie was because just how much of it felt like filler just to chop each other like they didn't really have a plan for how to make the mass interesting.
- 2:20:46[UNKNOWN]: in the rain, outside of the rain, go back in the rain, maybe do things that aren't chops for a little bit, but go back to chopping for a bit.
- 2:20:54[UNKNOWN]: It was not terribly interesting.
- 2:20:57[UNKNOWN]: I love a match with an excessive number of chops.
- 2:21:00[UNKNOWN]: Don't get me wrong.
- 2:21:02[UNKNOWN]: But this ain't it.
- 2:21:06[UNKNOWN]: Then we had,
- 2:21:08[UNKNOWN]: Reena defeating Tomoka Inaba in five minutes and ten seconds with the pink devil.
- 2:21:13[UNKNOWN]: So Reena goes to three, two and one, and Tomoka drops to three and four to end the herd tournament.
- 2:21:18[UNKNOWN]: Tomoka hit her with a pair of running ax kicks, right?
- 2:21:20[UNKNOWN]: The opening bell.
- 2:21:22[UNKNOWN]: Then almost murdered her with a spank kick while she was kneeling.
- 2:21:25[UNKNOWN]: Reena that I used her whip to put her off.
- 2:21:28[UNKNOWN]: with the roughest strategy, of course, but they just kept their own bombs each other, keeping up a sick pace.
- 2:21:32[UNKNOWN]: I guess I should have seen the fit that was going to go really shortcoming, giving the sick pace what they were going.
- 2:21:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, Tom Walker ate this enormous move to the face from Rina, followed by the pig devil, and the mash ends in just five minutes.
- 2:21:43[UNKNOWN]: It was interesting to do that second from the top, and it was unpredictable, but I really won't.
- 2:21:48[UNKNOWN]: These two were off to a great start, so I won the middle longer.
- 2:21:50[UNKNOWN]: So I went three and a half.
- 2:21:53[UNKNOWN]: even a few more minutes at this page for a bit really really good, but I just can't go, you know, wasn't couldn't go any higher.
- 2:21:59[UNKNOWN]: I did go here.
- 2:22:00[UNKNOWN]: I went through three quarters for this one.
- 2:22:02[UNKNOWN]: I think because it was again another example of the kind of match I love to see an tournament where it in sooner than you think, but it makes sense that it ended so quickly.
- 2:22:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think I was just bummed or something
- 2:22:22[UNKNOWN]: they have plenty in the tank for the next time they're going to face each other.
- 2:22:26[UNKNOWN]: But sometimes you got to you have to keep people engaged and in things suddenly but in a way that goes oh yeah actually I guess that makes sense.
- 2:22:35[UNKNOWN]: So this is a picture perfect example of that.
- 2:22:40[UNKNOWN]: Made event, Machi-Eto, B-U-Tame Ashishida, and Bradstar's B in 13 minutes and five seconds with the Eto Royal, that would be Orito Royal, I think it is actually, that would Eto to three one and two and draft two time into two, three and one.
- 2:22:54[UNKNOWN]: So I think she's basically out.
- 2:22:56[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you're gonna get to seven points.
- 2:22:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, she's out.
- 2:22:59[UNKNOWN]: I mean, there's already four people above seven points.
- 2:23:03[UNKNOWN]: Um, this was a, I don't know, a lot of the, well, for a while, I thought it was kind of boring, you know, I was session, you know, apologies.
- 2:23:10[UNKNOWN]: I agree this fire star, and I didn't really think she'd had that kind of a tournament.
- 2:23:13[UNKNOWN]: Um, but to be fair, I guess, long, round, round, and tournament.
- 2:23:15[UNKNOWN]: It's exactly playing to her strengths as a performer either or so, you know.
- 2:23:19[UNKNOWN]: Um, but I think it's a great single's tournament performances though, so.
- 2:23:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but those are single nominations.
- 2:23:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, true.
- 2:23:27[UNKNOWN]: And you're right.
- 2:23:28[UNKNOWN]: It is a little different.
- 2:23:30[UNKNOWN]: Um, her, I mean, I did, to be fair, though, this match did pick up for me, eventually.
- 2:23:35[UNKNOWN]: So he did this really cool Stunner counter, uh, where like she basically did like, or a counter stunner, I guess, and what, like, she did stunner, Stunner and me, they were telling me how do I get a wheelbarrow, I think.
- 2:23:45[UNKNOWN]: And it's telling me to take a great flying bump for it, like a huge flying bump, which helped.
- 2:23:49[UNKNOWN]: Um, unfortunately, she followed up with a super weak looked and double stump, which wasn't good.
- 2:23:55[UNKNOWN]: But a Tommy fucking killed her with a four under the side of the head and when Maki flipped her off all to finally you Tommy just slapped her heart across the face after that.
- 2:24:03[UNKNOWN]: Maki tried some flash pins which Tommy kept blocking them and blocked one of them with this huge deadlift suit plaques which looked awesome and the match was really really I was getting into it finally now.
- 2:24:15[UNKNOWN]: Um, she then went for the crucifix bomb, but Maki slipped out and got her backside thing for the somewhat shopping pen, which eliminated Tommy, which I think people were very shocked by.
- 2:24:24[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, this got good enough the M3 to go three and a half again.
- 2:24:27[UNKNOWN]: So night in a three and a half to run the show, but uh, just not, you know, still a bit of an underwhelming main when just only three and a half.
- 2:24:34[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 2:24:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's weird to say three and a half underwhelming and sometimes in three and a half that was pretty good.
- 2:24:42[UNKNOWN]: This was three and a half underwhelming.
- 2:24:45[UNKNOWN]: It is such a fever dream that this match happened at all, by the way, it feels so weird to watch.
- 2:24:53[UNKNOWN]: And I'm not so hungry.
- 2:24:55[UNKNOWN]: Okay, so two things.
- 2:24:56[UNKNOWN]: First of all, last fall, this would have been Mari Goldzutami Ashichita versus Tokyo Joshi's Makiito.
- 2:25:02[UNKNOWN]: Just kind of funny.
- 2:25:03[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I guess you looked okay.
- 2:25:04[UNKNOWN]: Well, we'd love to get out already, but yeah.
- 2:25:08[UNKNOWN]: The other thing is, if you're remember when Machito first left Tokyo, Yoshi, people thought she was going to marry a gold, so it could have, the match could have happened there.
- 2:25:17[UNKNOWN]: And then, hot, hot man shot it down after the real Goku shot on October, because I guess 20 people were speculating about it, or he was just suddenly like, we're not signing Machito, by the way.
- 2:25:27[UNKNOWN]: like unprompted like wasn't asked out by the press or anything.
- 2:25:30[UNKNOWN]: He just said that I'm prompted because I guess he's trying to people speculating it and the way he said the way he was bit said it like so barely maybe think he actually tried to sign or started to stop at him but because that's just my speculation obviously could be I get the sense that it's more like he's an Edo hater that he's more like oh she's not a serious wrestler
- 2:25:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that could be true, yeah.
- 2:25:51[UNKNOWN]: That's the problem.
- 2:25:52[UNKNOWN]: What if I get it?
- 2:25:52[UNKNOWN]: I mean, that would be pretty rich in the manor employees thing at times.
- 2:25:55[UNKNOWN]: This may get done.
- 2:25:57[UNKNOWN]: I know.
- 2:25:58[UNKNOWN]: I know.
- 2:25:58[UNKNOWN]: Get what?
- 2:25:59[UNKNOWN]: Are you saying that Edo haters are consistent, that any startup haters are consistent?
- 2:26:03[UNKNOWN]: Heck, that any hating is consistent.
- 2:26:06[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 2:26:07[UNKNOWN]: Hating is something you just feel with your soul.
- 2:26:10[UNKNOWN]: That is very true.
- 2:26:13[UNKNOWN]: But yeah.
- 2:26:13[UNKNOWN]: Otherwise, this is a match where I didn't have a lot to say, because it felt like they
- 2:26:22[UNKNOWN]: And even at the end, I thought it was a little underwhelming how Machito 1, like it wasn't really a convincing win.
- 2:26:31[UNKNOWN]: It felt like Utami showed up with a cold.
- 2:26:36[UNKNOWN]: And he got lucky.
- 2:26:38[UNKNOWN]: It didn't feel like she was the better fighter in the rain.
- 2:26:40[UNKNOWN]: So I was also slightly annoyed at that.
- 2:26:45[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I was hoping to be like a more robust Edo defender for her performance's tournament,
- 2:26:51[UNKNOWN]: I'm with you in that it has been underwhelming.
- 2:26:55[UNKNOWN]: And there's your show.
- 2:26:56[UNKNOWN]: All right.
- 2:26:56[UNKNOWN]: Let me give the red stars standing here.
- 2:27:00[UNKNOWN]: In A, Micah and Azumi are both four one and one for nine points.
- 2:27:04[UNKNOWN]: Micah has a direct wind tiebreaker over Azumi.
- 2:27:07[UNKNOWN]: So she's in, she's in first right now on Azumi's in second.
- 2:27:10[UNKNOWN]: It's karaoke and NASCAR tour both have eight points.
- 2:27:15[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 2:27:15[UNKNOWN]: Do you know which one is the first tiebreaker is direct win or is it just number wins overall?
- 2:27:22[UNKNOWN]: I don't remember either, I don't have either type record because she had it right when over time over to her and she also has four wins in to our last three because I hope he's four in three for eight points towards three two and two.
- 2:27:34[UNKNOWN]: They're both done.
- 2:27:35[UNKNOWN]: They both can't get any more points.
- 2:27:36[UNKNOWN]: Reno is three two and one for seven points or she still can't get more points.
- 2:27:39[UNKNOWN]: She has six points or she has six matches.
- 2:27:43[UNKNOWN]: I mean, so she has seven points, six matches.
- 2:27:45[UNKNOWN]: And then we have all three of these wrestlers are out.
- 2:27:48[UNKNOWN]: Toma Kinaba is three and four for six points.
- 2:27:50[UNKNOWN]: So I could occur as two and five for four points in a cure of Kira Kira Gana, even though she has one match left, is 0, 5 and 1 for one point.
- 2:27:57[UNKNOWN]: I think the red A looks pretty obvious to me because the last night Azumi is facing Rina.
- 2:28:04[UNKNOWN]: I think that match will be like Azumi will already be in and Rina will upset her to keep her from finishing first and also get through.
- 2:28:14[UNKNOWN]: Okay, I buy it because yeah, Micah has a Kira which is actually not one that I don't know that because Micah has a Kira So if Micah wins that you already have 11 points and you have the direct type of girlfriend zero may so maybe that's wrong Then if you've reeners actually limiting the survey which would suck, but Because then you may have nothing to play for I don't know
- 2:28:38[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if there's anything in front of me.
- 2:28:40[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, where's Micah?
- 2:28:41[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I know, you mean can't actually be eliminated.
- 2:28:44[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, actually, she can't if Rina, okay.
- 2:28:47[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, she can't, because no one else can get above, because Ayoki and Tori both done.
- 2:28:54[UNKNOWN]: So Mike and Jimmy are thrilled, because Ayokin Torah both have eight points and they're done.
- 2:28:59[UNKNOWN]: They can't earn any more points.
- 2:29:01[UNKNOWN]: The only person who can still get through is read.
- 2:29:04[UNKNOWN]: I believe Torah is done too, because Ayokin has a tiebreaker on her and they're both done about the eight points.
- 2:29:08[UNKNOWN]: So the only thing left to decide in red A is will Mike or Azumi get through they're both at nine points, or will Mike or Azumi get first, I mean, on the buy, both at nine points.
- 2:29:18[UNKNOWN]: But Mike, the weird thing is, Mike, I have the tiebreaker over Azumi anyway.
- 2:29:22[UNKNOWN]: Um, where you think of reading is going to upset Azumi and get through, you'd have Micah beat.
- 2:29:28[UNKNOWN]: Let's be going to have Micah loose or Kira Korgani, which I don't think you're going to.
- 2:29:33[UNKNOWN]: You know, once Micah beats Akira, that'll be like, you know, Azumi wouldn't have a chance to win the block anyway.
- 2:29:39[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, it's just kind of weird the way they did this.
- 2:29:41[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, um, but yeah, Tor's gone because Tor I can't get past Ioki and she loses both had register where Ioki's Ioki and Reno the only two people to finish in the top three besides zooming in mic I've already throw.
- 2:29:54[UNKNOWN]: So you got to follow me now.
- 2:29:57[UNKNOWN]: Kind of I'm also trying to find a visual aid here for what the current standings are because it is very difficult to follow when it's just described to you, you know?
- 2:30:08[UNKNOWN]: Okay, it's Micah, Azumi, nine points.
- 2:30:11[UNKNOWN]: Ayogi, Tora, eight points, but they're done.
- 2:30:13[UNKNOWN]: They don't have any more matches left.
- 2:30:14[UNKNOWN]: Trina, Samad's, four one, the other ones are all done.
- 2:30:19[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, Renek can get through if Renek beats Azumi, but I think it's what's gonna happen because she'll get her blend back from last year in the semi-finals.
- 2:30:26[UNKNOWN]: And then Micah Azumi are both through already.
- 2:30:28[UNKNOWN]: If we're gonna lose Azumi, then it's gay, Yogi would go through.
- 2:30:33[UNKNOWN]: Because she has eight points, just like Tora, but she has the tie-break on Tora.
- 2:30:38[UNKNOWN]: Got it.
- 2:30:41[UNKNOWN]: Red Bee, Siaida and Rinea Mashita are both, for both nine points, but Siaida's in first because she has four wins.
- 2:30:50[UNKNOWN]: I think she also, did she beat her in their match?
- 2:30:53[UNKNOWN]: Oh no, that went to a draw on the show.
- 2:30:55[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Siaida had the type of Rinea has three, but they both have nine points.
- 2:30:59[UNKNOWN]: And on top of that, Rinea Mashita's done she can't get any more points.
- 2:31:04[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, it's going to be, so I believe
- 2:31:07[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, society, it should be through them because can not be a market, you know, both have eight points.
- 2:31:11[UNKNOWN]: They both have one match left.
- 2:31:12[UNKNOWN]: They can both get to ten.
- 2:31:14[UNKNOWN]: And if that happened and look, on the facing each other, no, so the facing each other in the last night too.
- 2:31:19[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:31:20[UNKNOWN]: So, is your moshita through through then?
- 2:31:24[UNKNOWN]: I think, unless you get a really wacky scenario, we're conomining an Eto both that draw end up at nine points.
- 2:31:31[UNKNOWN]: And then you have a three way tie that would need a, like, one of those, uh, well, he's dead before.
- 2:31:39[UNKNOWN]: Here's a wild card.
- 2:31:40[UNKNOWN]: May Sierra has three games in hand.
- 2:31:44[UNKNOWN]: Oh, she has to wrestle three matches still.
- 2:31:46[UNKNOWN]: That's right.
- 2:31:46[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
- 2:31:47[UNKNOWN]: So, okay, so if she wins all three of those, she would be at nine.
- 2:31:53[UNKNOWN]: And her last match is against you, Tommy.
- 2:31:58[UNKNOWN]: So I think it's possible.
- 2:32:01[UNKNOWN]: She slips in.
- 2:32:01[UNKNOWN]: I don't, yeah, this is a weird block.
- 2:32:04[UNKNOWN]: It is, yeah.
- 2:32:06[UNKNOWN]: So I don't think anyone's through yet because you have all sorts of weird tie-breakers scenarios.
- 2:32:10[UNKNOWN]: Like Ed, I think Ed and Yamashita are guaranteed, I think to at least get to a weird tie-breakers scenario because unless it's like a two-way tie and then I guess Ed or would just win it.
- 2:32:21[UNKNOWN]: So I think Ed is guaranteed to get to a really tight-breakers scenario.
- 2:32:26[UNKNOWN]: Maybe you mastered it too because you don't face each other, but yeah, I think Edo, I think Edo is at least guaranteed and maybe you're I should have tiered to get to a weird type of scenario.
- 2:32:35[UNKNOWN]: So, but yeah, there's a red, the red beast standing.
- 2:32:38[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, can not be foreign to 8 points, Mach Edo 3-1 and 2-8 points, who taught me 2-3 and 1 for 5 points, she's out, she's going to get to 7.
- 2:32:46[UNKNOWN]: As you see now, about 1-4 and 2, she's already done with 4 points, may see R-1-2 and 1-1 for 3 points on a wide of fact, she's only wrestle for 4 matches, it's so weird.
- 2:32:54[UNKNOWN]: But yes, she's going to have a chance to get to 9 points and Lady C-1 and 5 for 2 points.
- 2:32:59[UNKNOWN]: She's obviously done.
- 2:33:01[UNKNOWN]: Three shows coming up this next week.
- 2:33:03[UNKNOWN]: Oh, do you think you have any predictions?
- 2:33:05[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 2:33:06[UNKNOWN]: No idea what's happening around base.
- 2:33:07[UNKNOWN]: Two weird.
- 2:33:08[UNKNOWN]: Red is a little weird, but yeah, I'm going to say that.
- 2:33:12[UNKNOWN]: who's going through is going to be Konami, and May, and Edda.
- 2:33:21[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 2:33:22[UNKNOWN]: So there's three shows in the next week before we come back on here.
- 2:33:25[UNKNOWN]: Through the last three block shows.
- 2:33:29[UNKNOWN]: So the first two are mostly B, except they have that one weird Macy error match, so she has to make up all our matches that she was, I don't know what the fuck she was doing.
- 2:33:36[UNKNOWN]: Kobe sample hall August 14th that's this coming Thursday.
- 2:33:40[UNKNOWN]: I just can be Friday excuse me from So it's mostly blue again, so in blue be it's Hanan versus Momo Watanabe Unimum versus Sai Kamatani, Ami Sauray versus God who was the other qualifier
- 2:33:56[UNKNOWN]: Um, Kikyo Kikyo.
- 2:33:58[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
- 2:33:59[UNKNOWN]: I'm just because you put them qualifier slot blue because we didn't know at the time.
- 2:34:02[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:34:03[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:34:03[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry versus Kikyo for a Sawa and Starlight K versus Koguma Blue A. I a soccer versus Susan Zuki.
- 2:34:11[UNKNOWN]: How you ever let he not.
- 2:34:13[UNKNOWN]: He never says Raka.
- 2:34:15[UNKNOWN]: Me, you.
- 2:34:15[UNKNOWN]: I'm a soccer versus B. Priestley and Me and Hanako versus Riyan.
- 2:34:23[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry.
- 2:34:23[UNKNOWN]: Me, I'm a soccer versus
- 2:34:25[UNKNOWN]: God, I wish it was me, I'm a soccer referee for Hasey.
- 2:34:29[UNKNOWN]: It's me, I'm a soccer yverseas, Julia Hart, and Hannah governs us right on.
- 2:34:34[UNKNOWN]: And then the one, the one red B-Mash's lady, Lady Seamers may see her, that could be really good.
- 2:34:38[UNKNOWN]: Remember they had, they had like a high-speed match last year that was good, didn't they?
- 2:34:43[UNKNOWN]: Um, my remembering this wrong, maybe it wasn't Lady Sey.
- 2:34:47[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I don't remember, but that feels plausible.
- 2:34:51[UNKNOWN]: I think the thing is,
- 2:34:52[UNKNOWN]: I'm looking at the match card on the start of the website.
- 2:34:55[UNKNOWN]: I think it's in match order.
- 2:34:58[UNKNOWN]: I think it's just, I think it's block order.
- 2:35:00[UNKNOWN]: You think so?
- 2:35:01[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 2:35:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:35:02[UNKNOWN]: I guess I didn't have a high speed.
- 2:35:03[UNKNOWN]: I think lady she was doing like a book.
- 2:35:04[UNKNOWN]: She's high speed.
- 2:35:05[UNKNOWN]: Five ways in shit where I thought that we were building to her getting a child.
- 2:35:07[UNKNOWN]: Title shown.
- 2:35:08[UNKNOWN]: She never did actually.
- 2:35:09[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know.
- 2:35:10[UNKNOWN]: Haunted versus Momo sounds like a very plausible main event to me.
- 2:35:14[UNKNOWN]: Well, it's just like, it isn't just like one red being in a pole bunch of the, yeah, you're right, you're right.
- 2:35:20[UNKNOWN]: It is in order of, yeah, you're right.
- 2:35:24[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I mean, there's some cool stuff on this card.
- 2:35:28[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, I a soccer versus Susu that sounds awesome.
- 2:35:32[UNKNOWN]: You know, my, you know, my psych would be really good.
- 2:35:35[UNKNOWN]: Hanam versus Molo could be really good.
- 2:35:37[UNKNOWN]: So definitely some cool stuff on this show.
- 2:35:39[UNKNOWN]: When you see what makes the era the way they, they, you see, you can be really good.
- 2:35:43[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the next night, Saturday in KBS Hall, Kyoto again, mostly blue besides the one right B match.
- 2:35:49[UNKNOWN]: Uh, blue B, Hanan versus Yunuman, Ami Sory versus Saikon Otani, and down for that.
- 2:35:55[UNKNOWN]: Starlight Kid versus Pico, Koguma versus Moonwantanabe, Blue A, Iasakura versus Rion, Hina versus Mu Amasaki, that could be really good.
- 2:36:07[UNKNOWN]: Susu Suzuki versus Raka and Hanako versus Julia Hart.
- 2:36:10[UNKNOWN]: the one rugby match is a big one, site universe is Macyara, that should be awesome.
- 2:36:15[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, that claims to the card of Scully, that's still a good card.
- 2:36:20[UNKNOWN]: And then the Sunday show in Howamatsu is all the blocks that's the last show of the tour.
- 2:36:25[UNKNOWN]: So we talked about some of these matches already a little bit, but this card is loaded, especially for a show in Howamatsu.
- 2:36:33[UNKNOWN]: Hanan versus Saiyakamatani, Amisore versus Starlight Kid, those two methods already sound great.
- 2:36:39[UNKNOWN]: Susuke was really a heart that does not sound great, and how they go versus Raka doesn't really sound great either, blue egg.
- 2:36:45[UNKNOWN]: The first rule of blue bait is to be sure blue egg.
- 2:36:47[UNKNOWN]: Red bee, May Sierra versus Tommy Ashishita, that should be great.
- 2:36:51[UNKNOWN]: uh, mocking it over his canami that could be good, uh, but then you have the big one and right A, not Mike ever says, uh, a hero, but that should be really good, too.
- 2:36:59[UNKNOWN]: But as you mean, versus Reno, the really match of, you know, one of my favorite matches of the year last year from the five star semis.
- 2:37:03[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, big cards in how a lot to, that's your three shows coming up next week on the, uh, on the old five star.
- 2:37:12[UNKNOWN]: So we'll talk about the next week, obviously.
- 2:37:15[UNKNOWN]: All right, let's go to New Japan or have to be a little bit quicker.
- 2:37:18[UNKNOWN]: Now I'll be this first show, especially I'll be pretty quick because I wrote a big long written review of this Corrican.
- 2:37:24[UNKNOWN]: So I'm not going to do the movie capture.
- 2:37:26[UNKNOWN]: You can get all the movie recaps you want in written forms.
- 2:37:28[UNKNOWN]: You just go to VoiceRossing.com and you can read by big detail reviews of this entire show.
- 2:37:34[UNKNOWN]: So I'll link it in the show.
- 2:37:35[UNKNOWN]: I'll just check out my written review.
- 2:37:37[UNKNOWN]: I do work pretty hard on it.
- 2:37:39[UNKNOWN]: I'm probably going to do at least one or two more written reviews next week too because
- 2:37:42[UNKNOWN]: One of the people usually does some meal day, but it's not available or something, so I agreed to fill in basically.
- 2:37:47[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this was from Corrican Hall.
- 2:37:50[UNKNOWN]: Thursday, August 6 at Corrican, as I just said, a big crowd of 1,494, very slightly down from last year's A-Block Corrican, which was 1,509 for the Sugey-Findley Main, but we're talking 15 people, so it's not really worth analyzing or anything.
- 2:38:08[UNKNOWN]: Um, this show caused a lot of discourse.
- 2:38:11[UNKNOWN]: I was just super, you know what I'm talking about, huh?
- 2:38:15[UNKNOWN]: I know, well, it depends.
- 2:38:17[UNKNOWN]: I mostly followed how the Super J cast, uh, discord talked about it, which was fascinating.
- 2:38:25[UNKNOWN]: Um, well, I was talking to you.
- 2:38:26[UNKNOWN]: You didn't hear about Joe Lanz's audio.
- 2:38:30[UNKNOWN]: Oh, okay.
- 2:38:30[UNKNOWN]: I think I indirectly did because golden payment.
- 2:38:33[UNKNOWN]: I think obliquely referenced it.
- 2:38:35[UNKNOWN]: as part of their daily audio for the G1 and I'm guessing he didn't like, I guess Joe Lanzo didn't like Suji versus Bolden.
- 2:38:46[UNKNOWN]: No, no, no.
- 2:38:47[UNKNOWN]: So he, we really don't know what Joe lands I thought had sued you, Bolton, because he started the review by going completely insane, which I say it love Joe.
- 2:38:56[UNKNOWN]: If he happens to listen to this, but I don't think he's a regular listener.
- 2:38:58[UNKNOWN]: I think I could be wrong.
- 2:39:00[UNKNOWN]: But he went insane about the Jake League Raid O'Con, one minute and 47 second match.
- 2:39:05[UNKNOWN]: Really?
- 2:39:06[UNKNOWN]: And he was so mad about that, and also, I guess, Sonata, you know, ICE that he basically said, you know, the last two matches, Jingo,
- 2:39:16[UNKNOWN]: She got to catch that in Surgey and Baltimore, both awesome matches.
- 2:39:20[UNKNOWN]: He did say something like he didn't quite think Surgey Baltimore was the match, the tournament like some people are saying, but he did say it was really an incredible match or something.
- 2:39:26[UNKNOWN]: He said that, but he was like, he refused to give any more details to talk about them because he was so mad that I'm from the other two matches.
- 2:39:31[UNKNOWN]: He was like, fuck, dude, you pay.
- 2:39:32[UNKNOWN]: I'm not talking about them because of that.
- 2:39:33[UNKNOWN]: Because of Jake Lee versus Grado-Con, wow.
- 2:39:37[UNKNOWN]: So it has been interesting, I guess is the word I would use.
- 2:39:44[UNKNOWN]: watching Great O'Con discussion specifically develop over this G1.
- 2:39:49[UNKNOWN]: Because it feels like he is working on a directive now that he is doing a storyline of the really repeating heal.
- 2:39:59[UNKNOWN]: And it feels like people are projecting an additional layer of narrative that may or may not be present in the
- 2:40:12[UNKNOWN]: Basically, that he's Matt Kadani is no longer in charge of New Japan, and he is deciding to just be lazy and not work any good matches.
- 2:40:24[UNKNOWN]: Well, because Yoda sued you kind of caught him out for it.
- 2:40:26[UNKNOWN]: And Yoda sued you called him out on the recently too, so it feels like they're leaning into it if anything.
- 2:40:31[UNKNOWN]: Um, I don't, that did not like a, a work to may though.
- 2:40:35[UNKNOWN]: I don't think that's a work because the way he, he would look so, if he, if he, that's a work he deserves a fucking academy award.
- 2:40:42[UNKNOWN]: No, I don't think it's sincere.
- 2:40:43[UNKNOWN]: I think his critique is sincere too.
- 2:40:45[UNKNOWN]: I think what gets me is how much people are getting worked up.
- 2:40:49[UNKNOWN]: for just some really average heel heat segments.
- 2:40:53[UNKNOWN]: We've seen hundreds of thousands of times.
- 2:40:56[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I think he fits it to anyone.
- 2:40:58[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I think he's been pretty awful.
- 2:41:00[UNKNOWN]: I think he's not even just like the heel heat.
- 2:41:05[UNKNOWN]: It's that it's very boring heel heat, and it's very, it's not, a lot of not just not getting a reaction at all.
- 2:41:12[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, I don't know, like I, I'd rather watch a million house torture evil matches for I watched some of these fucking great old com matches again.
- 2:41:19[UNKNOWN]: I do think he's been pretty awful.
- 2:41:20[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it feels like a guy popping himself more than anything.
- 2:41:25[UNKNOWN]: Like when he's there like, you know, tripping people and going, ha ha ha, never got to reaction.
- 2:41:31[UNKNOWN]: Pride never booze it.
- 2:41:32[UNKNOWN]: The crowd never fucking does anything.
- 2:41:35[UNKNOWN]: They're just like, yep, you did that.
- 2:41:36[UNKNOWN]: All right.
- 2:41:37[UNKNOWN]: Like they never seem to give a shit.
- 2:41:40[UNKNOWN]: So I just think it's very I don't know.
- 2:41:42[UNKNOWN]: I'm not I'm not into it.
- 2:41:43[UNKNOWN]: I'm very I'm very against I think he's been dog shit like people are saying to be honest.
- 2:41:46[UNKNOWN]: So okay, are you are you in the the are you with the people who are like we would rather have chase so when's or now chase so when this case I was now.
- 2:41:56[UNKNOWN]: Who's the other one you're going to say.
- 2:41:58[UNKNOWN]: Tom Galoa.
- 2:41:59[UNKNOWN]: Now.
- 2:42:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you've seen the two of the worst wrestlers of this era.
- 2:42:03[UNKNOWN]: So that's that's that.
- 2:42:06[UNKNOWN]: I think is why I'm getting annoyed at the level of discourse that I'm seeing around you.
- 2:42:10[UNKNOWN]: Okay, look at it.
- 2:42:11[UNKNOWN]: I'm glad to look at this and go.
- 2:42:14[UNKNOWN]: This is awful.
- 2:42:14[UNKNOWN]: But when you start going.
- 2:42:16[UNKNOWN]: I'd rather have chaser ones than the G1 instead of him.
- 2:42:19[UNKNOWN]: That's where I go, okay, you're gonna be fair.
- 2:42:23[UNKNOWN]: I'm a little too worked up.
- 2:42:24[UNKNOWN]: Chill.
- 2:42:26[UNKNOWN]: Super game has this card.
- 2:42:27[UNKNOWN]: They have like a whole poll.
- 2:42:28[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:42:29[UNKNOWN]: They voted.
- 2:42:30[UNKNOWN]: The only rest they want least and great.
- 2:42:32[UNKNOWN]: Last and great.
- 2:42:32[UNKNOWN]: Oh, so forget it now.
- 2:42:35[UNKNOWN]: And then people were passionately arguing that not even that's correct.
- 2:42:38[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know.
- 2:42:39[UNKNOWN]: I feel like people have kind of like discourse themselves into some light and sanity.
- 2:42:45[UNKNOWN]: but it's all over a wrestler who I think is like average right now.
- 2:42:49[UNKNOWN]: So I think he's horrible right now, sir.
- 2:42:52[UNKNOWN]: Sure, sure.
- 2:42:54[UNKNOWN]: And I used to like him too, it was a crazy thing.
- 2:42:57[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I used to like him, but he's so.
- 2:42:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I used to, I used to really like him, especially as a baby face.
- 2:43:02[UNKNOWN]: He's runna in the G1 a couple of years ago when he got that big win against Knight toe, that felt great.
- 2:43:08[UNKNOWN]: I thought we were looking at like a, uh,
- 2:43:14[UNKNOWN]: have regular high level, well, okay, well, he has, he, even in that run, because he would have a reputation of only trying when he won.
- 2:43:28[UNKNOWN]: because you mentioned a matter where they tell, the biggest friend is career.
- 2:43:31[UNKNOWN]: Yes, he was great in that match.
- 2:43:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:43:33[UNKNOWN]: And if you watched his matches that year, when he would win, he would try really hard in how great matches, when he would lose, he would fucking sleep walk through them, half the time.
- 2:43:41[UNKNOWN]: More half the time.
- 2:43:42[UNKNOWN]: That's all the time.
- 2:43:43[UNKNOWN]: And this year, if you look at his record, he's two and five.
- 2:43:45[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:43:46[UNKNOWN]: So we'll take both of them, and on top of that, one of the wins came from a DQ.
- 2:43:51[UNKNOWN]: So he's only one match.
- 2:43:54[UNKNOWN]: It looks like somebody told him like you're going to have a horrible run this few won this year pound.
- 2:43:57[UNKNOWN]: He's like, well, it gets what?
- 2:43:58[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to fucking trip people and laugh and do the worst fucking most boring crowdball you've ever seen.
- 2:44:03[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, he's been, I think he's been awful.
- 2:44:05[UNKNOWN]: I do think he's like, I had one of the worst few run runs in the in recent memory.
- 2:44:09[UNKNOWN]: So, and he's the good block!
- 2:44:13[UNKNOWN]: He's the best people who are trying to send porcennada, who's fucking shoulder was falling off his fucking socket.
- 2:44:18[UNKNOWN]: It's fucking trying in this fucking match, in this fucking tournament really hard.
- 2:44:22[UNKNOWN]: And this is the great O'Con is what it's like fucking not doing anything.
- 2:44:26[UNKNOWN]: So, I don't know.
- 2:44:29[UNKNOWN]: These are a ton of people who are making everybody else look good, who have him good performances, and he's just like nothing.
- 2:44:40[UNKNOWN]: So anyway, but yeah, but on the other hand, I am going to review the whole show.
- 2:44:44[UNKNOWN]: I'm not just going to review that.
- 2:44:47[UNKNOWN]: It's impossible to see anything about that match.
- 2:44:50[UNKNOWN]: It's more than angles than a match really.
- 2:44:52[UNKNOWN]: I don't I don't I don't really understand why that was the one that upset him so much.
- 2:44:55[UNKNOWN]: I mean God bless him.
- 2:44:56[UNKNOWN]: He hates it.
- 2:44:57[UNKNOWN]: He hates to stuff more than a lot of people.
- 2:44:59[UNKNOWN]: I will say and didn't help with the first match also had bullshit.
- 2:45:02[UNKNOWN]: I guess, but like I don't know, I don't know.
- 2:45:07[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, well, yeah, let's talk about it.
- 2:45:09[UNKNOWN]: So first match is not a beautiful eyes.
- 2:45:11[UNKNOWN]: It's a lot of me, you know, I was in eight minutes and ten seconds via knockout, so the two of them they kept complimenting each other basically and leading up to this, like you know said, I think either one of the first or maybe just the first match they've ever saw was a SES and not an all-japan match and so not a set that you know is fire inspired him and like
- 2:45:29[UNKNOWN]: I think he even said, you know, when he gave that speech into your dash, that incredible speech that you know, I was lucky enough to be there for where he was like, you know, Tana Hashie.
- 2:45:38[UNKNOWN]: We know Tana Hashie retired and I'm not a pretty boy like him, but I promise I don't give up and pro wrestling.
- 2:45:43[UNKNOWN]: I'll still bring the pro wrestling love.
- 2:45:45[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, it was a great speech and the crowd really connected with it.
- 2:45:48[UNKNOWN]: You know, there were people crying to be honest.
- 2:45:50[UNKNOWN]: And that killed not that many, but there was some.
- 2:45:53[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, Senata said he found that speech inspiring and he thought, you know, was one of the reasons why he decided not to give up on progress in himself when he thought could have retired after the injury.
- 2:46:04[UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, he comes out here in the same blue outfit with the white stars used to wear, wear, say, Senata, what do you do?
- 2:46:10[UNKNOWN]: I saw him wrestle, which you know, I just like, you know, practically had a fucking orgasm for others.
- 2:46:15[UNKNOWN]: It was so cute to see him get excited about it.
- 2:46:18[UNKNOWN]: I loved it.
- 2:46:20[UNKNOWN]: They did some basic but solid wrestling to start.
- 2:46:23[UNKNOWN]: So now I did a nice little drop kick.
- 2:46:25[UNKNOWN]: The problem was, this match like, there's a lot of sequences where I could read off the whole thing where just said I'm not gonna do it because, you know, we're short on time and I also did all that already in the review.
- 2:46:34[UNKNOWN]: They sound cooler on paper and they were in the practice.
- 2:46:36[UNKNOWN]: They were, there's matches like a little bit slow, you know, just kind of one of the weaker efforts both guys even before the finish.
- 2:46:42[UNKNOWN]: And,
- 2:46:44[UNKNOWN]: and the fence which is goofy.
- 2:46:46[UNKNOWN]: So, the ref gets bumped when it's the night try to zokana roll.
- 2:46:49[UNKNOWN]: Kettimer runs out from the back, spits whisky your eyes as face.
- 2:46:53[UNKNOWN]: He then pulls out to the down as guitar.
- 2:46:54[UNKNOWN]: He's basically like, if you don't win this factory or eliminate, you've got to use the guitar body.
- 2:46:57[UNKNOWN]: You're still in the half the torture.
- 2:46:59[UNKNOWN]: I will give synodic credit when you when canning our first hand of this guitar I thought one or two things would happen.
- 2:47:05[UNKNOWN]: I thought either sounds could take the guitar and do like should I do it?
- 2:47:09[UNKNOWN]: Should I not do it?
- 2:47:10[UNKNOWN]: For like a fucking minute and a half straight or something and be this big long drawn out melodrama thing.
- 2:47:16[UNKNOWN]: or even worse, baby, I thought it was going to be like, I'm not doing that and then turn and I think it was going to hit cannibal or then do a fucking swore of a sprow and fucking hit the guitar over the head of, you know, I said to their credit, they didn't do either of those seconds.
- 2:47:31[UNKNOWN]: So not a little torn for like 20 seconds and then hit turn and hit cannibal.
- 2:47:36[UNKNOWN]: So I was way better executed than they could have been.
- 2:47:40[UNKNOWN]: The goofy part was that he pretended to be hurt for reasons I cannot understand because the reference down to see any of this and the records back up and they start to kind of double count of double 10 count and it's not as a kip up which was funny but the only reason why they did that is so you know ice can continue losing all was next by Nagar which is good.
- 2:47:57[UNKNOWN]: What was a goofy then?
- 2:47:59[UNKNOWN]: Has anyone commented on that in the backstage comments?
- 2:48:02[UNKNOWN]: I feel like there's something going on here and I just am not following it.
- 2:48:06[UNKNOWN]: He's a knockout brother and he's losing all the matches by knockout, I guess.
- 2:48:10[UNKNOWN]: You know, I never put that together, so what am I even doing here?
- 2:48:17[UNKNOWN]: And he like, and on top of that, I guess it's like to show how, to show how, what's it called?
- 2:48:25[UNKNOWN]: It feels like the storyline with him as he has a glass straw, right?
- 2:48:36[UNKNOWN]: That's really awesome to watch, but it doesn't take much to topple him over.
- 2:48:41[UNKNOWN]: Can I make a news update that's relevant to both of us?
- 2:48:44[UNKNOWN]: Uh-oh.
- 2:48:45[UNKNOWN]: And the SuperJacast, G1 Climax 36 pick-ups.
- 2:48:47[UNKNOWN]: It's literally just got for that either recording that.
- 2:48:49[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, just put it down.
- 2:48:50[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, I just saw.
- 2:48:52[UNKNOWN]: I am tied for first with Nathan Metclath, for 64 points.
- 2:48:57[UNKNOWN]: Do you want to know folks what place are your local bars boring?
- 2:49:01[UNKNOWN]: Our method is in.
- 2:49:02[UNKNOWN]: You don't have to say it publicly.
- 2:49:04[UNKNOWN]: It's very embarrassing.
- 2:49:06[UNKNOWN]: He is tied for 30, out of 34 people.
- 2:49:10[UNKNOWN]: He is near the bottom of the list with 40 points.
- 2:49:13[UNKNOWN]: I've only three points off the bottom, too.
- 2:49:15[UNKNOWN]: Like I feel like it won't take much to just have me come on.
- 2:49:19[UNKNOWN]: What is the losing point of doing this again?
- 2:49:21[UNKNOWN]: So they actually, it sounds like they solidified what losing would do.
- 2:49:25[UNKNOWN]: So you have to both change your name and watch an awful thing that the winner picks for you.
- 2:49:32[UNKNOWN]: So if I win, you lose more than I pick for you.
- 2:49:34[UNKNOWN]: That's a great question.
- 2:49:40[UNKNOWN]: I guess you could make me watch some kind of a awful WWE match that you remember that I would just have no awareness about you could make it so that the I would tell people the only WWE match I've seen to completion is
- 2:49:57[UNKNOWN]: the fiend versus whatever that's the only match I've ever seen.
- 2:50:05[UNKNOWN]: That's too funny though.
- 2:50:06[UNKNOWN]: So I really like it would need to be something really painful and that match is way too funny.
- 2:50:12[UNKNOWN]: Let me think of something that's just painfully, really bad.
- 2:50:14[UNKNOWN]: Like okay.
- 2:50:14[UNKNOWN]: Triple H, Randy Orton.
- 2:50:15[UNKNOWN]: Why are you trying to hurt me?
- 2:50:18[UNKNOWN]: Dad, you said one of the boys, both boring made events.
- 2:50:22[UNKNOWN]: That would be a great one.
- 2:50:23[UNKNOWN]: Hopefully he's Randy, or it'd be a great one.
- 2:50:25[UNKNOWN]: Although when I watched it back, I remember thinking it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but it's really that it's also letting you off the hook.
- 2:50:32[UNKNOWN]: Trying to think, why do something really brutally boring to very much?
- 2:50:36[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 2:50:36[UNKNOWN]: I got plenty of time to think about this.
- 2:50:38[UNKNOWN]: So, Jess, you're welcome.
- 2:50:39[UNKNOWN]: I'm wondering what I got a little too excited about making me see her.
- 2:50:43[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how I feel about this.
- 2:50:49[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, so anyway, this match I went to in a quarter on it was a below average match, you know, the finish was kind of weird and stupid.
- 2:51:00[UNKNOWN]: I mean, at least like right in the retail, what we're going to talk about, they just did the interference and that was that.
- 2:51:04[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I did two and a half for this one.
- 2:51:18[UNKNOWN]: him gradually incorporating more and more cheating into his matches, it feels like what we saw happen at Dominion where he started the match clean and wrestling like he used to and then ended it trying to cheat his way out is just happening in a much longer time span over his G1 run and what it has mostly proved is there is a part of my heart that probably will
- 2:51:46[UNKNOWN]: And no matter how many times he hits people over the head of the guitar, I will hope that next time he'll come out there and do the right thing.
- 2:51:56[UNKNOWN]: So I'm just a sucker for this guy.
- 2:51:58[UNKNOWN]: I have to admit it.
- 2:51:58[UNKNOWN]: So I think that that gave the match a little extra layer of drama having my heart broken watching Sonata.
- 2:52:05[UNKNOWN]: It utilized like that.
- 2:52:06[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I can stand it in a good way.
- 2:52:11[UNKNOWN]: There we had Jake Lee beating the great O'Con in one minute and 47 seconds by DQ.
- 2:52:16[UNKNOWN]: Okay, some day I want to ask the people who got so mad about this, when the fucking thing came up, because I like Jake Lee, okay, I'm going to say, I think Jake Lee is charmingly funny, I enjoy the man, I don't care, you can yell at me all you want, you can yell at me to your blue and the face behind me, he sucks, he's not a great restaurant, I think I'm like words to say, I just think he's neat.
- 2:52:40[UNKNOWN]: I don't like the radio calm though, and I knew this actually would be dog shit.
- 2:52:43[UNKNOWN]: When the thing came up, instead of seven minutes, my sort of whole segment, my reaction was like, alright, they kept it short, let's go.
- 2:52:53[UNKNOWN]: How do people even have time to get that angry about this?
- 2:52:57[UNKNOWN]: I just desperate I don't get, they did not waste your time, they did a goofy little thing with a fucking cop, Jake, we had a cop on the block the fucking low blow, he fucking did
- 2:53:10[UNKNOWN]: You fail all along on O'Con.
- 2:53:11[UNKNOWN]: They did the fake fucking stupid, Eddie Gwerospa and then the match ended in under two minutes.
- 2:53:16[UNKNOWN]: How people getting this upset about it?
- 2:53:18[UNKNOWN]: I just do it.
- 2:53:19[UNKNOWN]: I fundamentally do not understand.
- 2:53:21[UNKNOWN]: And I even pick it on Joe Landr.
- 2:53:23[UNKNOWN]: Because there are people really mad.
- 2:53:24[UNKNOWN]: There are people on the voice dressing discord, like all.
- 2:53:26[UNKNOWN]: It would have been less offensive to me if they did a 12, 12 minute boring bad match.
- 2:53:30[UNKNOWN]: Really?
- 2:53:32[UNKNOWN]: You've rather watched a 12 minute just boring bad match than watching many in 47 seconds of damn dance a little jig and doing a fake DQ and going home.
- 2:53:42[UNKNOWN]: I'd rather watch that.
- 2:53:44[UNKNOWN]: I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
- 2:53:47[UNKNOWN]: I don't really get it.
- 2:53:48[UNKNOWN]: They just fucking did a stupid little cowardice fight.
- 2:53:50[UNKNOWN]: They did an editorial fashion that was over.
- 2:53:53[UNKNOWN]: Like how did this cause such raging people?
- 2:53:55[UNKNOWN]: I don't
- 2:53:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, uh, I don't either, but I already said I don't even understand people hating Gradoch on that much right now.
- 2:54:05[UNKNOWN]: I feel so out of the loop on this in particular, I can't get that worked up.
- 2:54:12[UNKNOWN]: I think the thing that annoyed me the most about this match really was Jake Lee revealing the cup, because it's like, I don't know, I assume these athletes are out there wearing a cup at all times, and that it still hurts when you get hit in the balls with a cup.
- 2:54:29[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 2:54:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:54:32[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 2:54:32[UNKNOWN]: I thought this was two stars.
- 2:54:33[UNKNOWN]: I didn't really.
- 2:54:34[UNKNOWN]: It was bad.
- 2:54:35[UNKNOWN]: I didn't really.
- 2:54:37[UNKNOWN]: It was good.
- 2:54:37[UNKNOWN]: Well, I have to give it a rating for my averages, so.
- 2:54:40[UNKNOWN]: But it was bad.
- 2:54:41[UNKNOWN]: But like, boom.
- 2:54:42[UNKNOWN]: We don't kind for sure.
- 2:54:43[UNKNOWN]: Both of these guys have a worse match as this tournament.
- 2:54:45[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the fucking Jake Lee, you don't ice match where they couldn't get the team out the handcuffs.
- 2:54:49[UNKNOWN]: It's the worst match to the entire tournament.
- 2:54:51[UNKNOWN]: And Great O'Con is going to have a worse match.
- 2:54:53[UNKNOWN]: Great O'Con had a worse match.
- 2:54:54[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to talk about this show,
- 2:54:58[UNKNOWN]: So, I don't know, like this fucking, this plus, again, any time you do a minute and 47 seconds and a match, I think it's going to be bad anyway.
- 2:55:07[UNKNOWN]: My reaction is appreciation.
- 2:55:09[UNKNOWN]: So, I don't really get it.
- 2:55:11[UNKNOWN]: The next match, real way or a way of being hurlky-go-no in 851 with the big lock.
- 2:55:17[UNKNOWN]: Um, this is really good.
- 2:55:18[UNKNOWN]: It was one flaw in it, basically, what's the complaint was obviously it's another headlog match.
- 2:55:23[UNKNOWN]: I love the headlocks up with, uh, why?
- 2:55:25[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I just really think he does a great job with that.
- 2:55:27[UNKNOWN]: And just the fact that he has these crowds going crazy for fucking side headlocks isn't, isn't saying in 20 seconds.
- 2:55:32[UNKNOWN]: Like that is just an achievement by him that he had these gotten this move over.
- 2:55:37[UNKNOWN]: And it works, I think, because his arms are so fucking big, you know.
- 2:55:41[UNKNOWN]: That's it.
- 2:55:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:55:44[UNKNOWN]: The problem with this match and the only thing that keeps you going low back on it is, I thought, go to, when, when, when, when, or what happened this headlock, go to would throw these elbows, try to get out of it, and they look so weak.
- 2:55:55[UNKNOWN]: Like, look like he was barely touching him.
- 2:55:57[UNKNOWN]: And one time, one time it didn't work, which isn't it's bad, but one time it worked.
- 2:56:00[UNKNOWN]: We actually elbowed his way out with these fucking patty cake elbows.
- 2:56:03[UNKNOWN]: And I was like, why is he throwing these weak ass elbows?
- 2:56:06[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, just didn't look good.
- 2:56:07[UNKNOWN]: So, because of
- 2:56:11[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, and just they, I thought they, for a nine minute match, they packed a lot and do it with like the, there's a cool little like, uh, uh, one of my favorite spots because all I had so many had lock counters when he just countered this backdrops to a few bucks sent by Godo with the, with the sidehead lock and just a very simple spot but a very cool little counter.
- 2:56:31[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, just really, really go match match.
- 2:56:33[UNKNOWN]: I enjoyed a lot.
- 2:56:33[UNKNOWN]: So, uh, it wasn't during this match, but Oscar on English commentary on a different night
- 2:56:41[UNKNOWN]: oil winning so many matches with his headlock and talking about oh how could you have your finisher be a headlock there's so many different ways out of it and I'm thinking buddy you're going to eat your words at some point pretty soon because he's been getting it over so well that uh yeah eventually Gato's going to go to Oscar and say hey guess how you're losing today um this was from most of it a fairly standard match so I only went through
- 2:57:11[UNKNOWN]: just going to be goto being the veteran and eventually taking control of the match until the cruisest of victory.
- 2:57:21[UNKNOWN]: That Riohei was able to reverse it back and gain control at the very end like that completely threw me for a loop and just made the whole thing worth it all over again.
- 2:57:34[UNKNOWN]: So they're going to quarter.
- 2:57:39[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the next match was single-to-coggy, beginning at Kinozuke Takashida in 1944 at last the dragon.
- 2:57:47[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, I mean, again, just to to go fast here, especially even more fast than usual, because uh, the written review can read my long review about these matches.
- 2:57:57[UNKNOWN]: I just thought this match was really disappointing.
- 2:57:59[UNKNOWN]: There was a good match.
- 2:58:00[UNKNOWN]: It was like three and a half stars, but like, you know, with these two, I expected way more.
- 2:58:04[UNKNOWN]: I think I want either four and a half, I think last year on their match.
- 2:58:07[UNKNOWN]: And it's funny because last year, I thought the Keshe had a pretty bad tournament by his standards.
- 2:58:11[UNKNOWN]: Compared to the 2024 one, I mean, he was not bad or anything, but he was very underwhelming for me last year.
- 2:58:17[UNKNOWN]: This year, I think he's back to having a great tournament, but then the one match he did really deliver in last year against Shingo is the one he didn't really deliver in here for me.
- 2:58:24[UNKNOWN]: I just thought like, I don't know, they were just like, there was too many cliches and I just, I don't know, like they, I'm ridden for my notes here, like there's just, like some of the areas looks a little strangely mediocre.
- 2:58:38[UNKNOWN]: Um, I mean, the crowd went crazy for the end, which is cool.
- 2:58:42[UNKNOWN]: But like, I don't know, I just felt like I was missing something to me.
- 2:58:44[UNKNOWN]: Like, you know, it was like three and a half star match just didn't, didn't click at any kind of high level.
- 2:58:55[UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to say, I don't see my cage match ahead of that.
- 2:58:58[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, good.
- 2:58:58[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:58:59[UNKNOWN]: See, which of us, again, are more cage match-brained.
- 2:59:02[UNKNOWN]: Um, I guarantee we'll see on this.
- 2:59:04[UNKNOWN]: It's probably me.
- 2:59:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 2:59:06[UNKNOWN]: This was much more, um, the standard big news Japan match, but I didn't mind it partly because I thought Shingo has mixed up his offensive enough that it has helped keep even longer matches like this fresh for me in a way that just
- 2:59:25[UNKNOWN]: say last year.
- 2:59:27[UNKNOWN]: Shingo I think had gotten into a groove where his matches had become very predictable, thinking back on like for instance, Dominion last year.
- 2:59:38[UNKNOWN]: And it felt like he's been mixing it up a bit and on top of all that, Tequesta has been generally terrific.
- 2:59:45[UNKNOWN]: This entire G1.
- 2:59:46[UNKNOWN]: I've really loved getting my big aggressive boy back.
- 2:59:51[UNKNOWN]: It's 2023.
- 2:59:53[UNKNOWN]: Oh, sorry, 2024 Sonata.
- 2:59:55[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, 2024 to cash to all over again.
- 2:59:59[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know.
- 3:00:01[UNKNOWN]: I did think it was funny that the discourse coming out of this that I saw was primarily, this is the match you loved if you were old and dumb and didn't like change.
- 3:00:13[UNKNOWN]: And
- 3:00:16[UNKNOWN]: I thought the discourse was going to be some of the gnarly bumps they were taking on the apron with like that spot midway through where I think it was to catch the like did the the some kind of a driver on the apron and I was thinking back to nightovers is a boochie and how that would be weeks and weeks of discourse about that one move.
- 3:00:38[UNKNOWN]: And now nobody cares about that anymore.
- 3:00:40[UNKNOWN]: So maybe take stop taking bumps on the apron mostly because nobody gives
- 3:00:49[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah.
- 3:00:50[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 3:00:50[UNKNOWN]: Am I completely off base here?
- 3:00:52[UNKNOWN]: No.
- 3:00:52[UNKNOWN]: It sounds like your notes are almost describing a different match in what I remember.
- 3:00:57[UNKNOWN]: But I did not take detailed notes.
- 3:00:59[UNKNOWN]: So it was a .27 engagement, by the way.
- 3:01:01[UNKNOWN]: So much.
- 3:01:02[UNKNOWN]: So like between four and four and a quarter, so they're closer to you than me.
- 3:01:05[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
- 3:01:06[UNKNOWN]: A little lower than expected for the in-maids, though.
- 3:01:10[UNKNOWN]: But the main event.
- 3:01:12[UNKNOWN]: Yoda's usually loses to bolt-in-all-like in 2435, the last kamikaze.
- 3:01:16[UNKNOWN]: I mean, this factor is incredible.
- 3:01:17[UNKNOWN]: Hell yeah.
- 3:01:18[UNKNOWN]: This was the match of the tournament.
- 3:01:20[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 3:01:21[UNKNOWN]: To this point, one of the best matches of the year.
- 3:01:23[UNKNOWN]: I forget where I put exactly on the match of the US.
- 3:01:24[UNKNOWN]: I think I put a fourth.
- 3:01:25[UNKNOWN]: Definitely match the week for me.
- 3:01:28[UNKNOWN]: fourth, we definitely match the way four and three quarters, very close to a five.
- 3:01:32[UNKNOWN]: I think the only reason why I didn't go a five were like, there are some very tiny nitpicks here or there.
- 3:01:38[UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to find them in my long ass notes now.
- 3:01:41[UNKNOWN]: But like, you know, there's a kind of couple things here that I didn't think look great or something.
- 3:01:45[UNKNOWN]: But, you know, because I thought I do I nitpick things.
- 3:01:49[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, other than that, like just, you know, bolt in, these are like the two
- 3:01:55[UNKNOWN]: just going out there and and sometimes you have two two wrestlers commit a high level and the the expertise is a very high and they can't actually meet them.
- 3:02:03[UNKNOWN]: Not the case here.
- 3:02:03[UNKNOWN]: They fucking met them and everything exceeded them.
- 3:02:06[UNKNOWN]: I mean just you know the spot of the year to maybe it's both in just roaring and so do these face to stop the fucking James flat which
- 3:02:14[UNKNOWN]: It could have been corny and it could have been stupid with a lot of people, but bolt-in looks so legitimately intimidating and Suji had the good sense to not because there's a war, but they do the spot and Suji fucking stairs I'm like, oh, no, what's going on like it just really sells it for way too long Suji basically went right back into doing something else So like he sold his shocker so I'm gonna be bored at and then he went right back to doing another move So that was the actual way to do this and not have it be stupid
- 3:02:45[UNKNOWN]: because I think you're immediately trying to say you're having like knee attacks and the headbutts and it's like good, just go right back to fighting, don't.
- 3:02:50[UNKNOWN]: Don't fucking stand there and gatebed him for 10 years like this is a mirror wrestle.
- 3:02:54[UNKNOWN]: So, but yeah, just an incredible match, incredible finish with Bolton hitting the last comic hows a, just one of these matches where they bolt for just doing such great stuff.
- 3:03:05[UNKNOWN]: You know, I'm trying to scroll through my notes here.
- 3:03:07[UNKNOWN]: It's like matches that also ends on the biggest move, right?
- 3:03:11[UNKNOWN]: Sometimes you get someone doing a really cool move from a top rope and it ends up just leading to the finish instead of actually being the finish here?
- 3:03:20[UNKNOWN]: No.
- 3:03:22[UNKNOWN]: He was not getting up from that.
- 3:03:25[UNKNOWN]: Good point.
- 3:03:26[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it was a very, very good match match I was very into.
- 3:03:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:03:30[UNKNOWN]: Four and three quarters.
- 3:03:32[UNKNOWN]: You talked about how hot the second half was, but I found the first half just as engrossing.
- 3:03:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and I think I don't know how can you ever see it when they're correctly because you mentioned first half you ever see suit you to a giant friend before
- 3:03:44[UNKNOWN]: No.
- 3:03:45[UNKNOWN]: Well, actually, I think he did it as a young lion, did he?
- 3:03:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:03:48[UNKNOWN]: I think he might have done it as a young lion.
- 3:03:50[UNKNOWN]: That was my point.
- 3:03:50[UNKNOWN]: I don't think he's done it since a young lion days.
- 3:03:53[UNKNOWN]: So, and I think that it was part of the story of the match was he thought he had bolted on the ropes and he got really cocky and ended up giving him too much time to recover.
- 3:04:03[UNKNOWN]: So, that was, that was, wow, beautiful, beautiful, per- Wrestling storytelling.
- 3:04:09[UNKNOWN]: I loved it.
- 3:04:11[UNKNOWN]: No, Fuji also reversed the Comikaze with a triangle at one point.
- 3:04:14[UNKNOWN]: That was like one of my favorite counters in the match.
- 3:04:16[UNKNOWN]: It looks so natural too.
- 3:04:17[UNKNOWN]: It made so much sense.
- 3:04:20[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's awesome.
- 3:04:21[UNKNOWN]: Awesome.
- 3:04:22[UNKNOWN]: Awesome.
- 3:04:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:04:26[UNKNOWN]: So a lot of discourse was also around that this was like the new Japan new style of new Japan matches.
- 3:04:35[UNKNOWN]: I'm not quite sure I entirely follow that line of thinking.
- 3:04:40[UNKNOWN]: Um, but I got to say, Yoda Suji has been absolutely out of this world to this G1.
- 3:04:46[UNKNOWN]: I mean, he shot, he shot up my most outstanding wrestler right, ranking.
- 3:04:50[UNKNOWN]: So I, I think he's clearly like my favorite wrestler right now, period, he even compared to a lot of Yoshi wrestlers.
- 3:04:57[UNKNOWN]: He's just putting on matches on such another level, just doing things.
- 3:05:02[UNKNOWN]: I feel like, oh, I've never quite seen something done like this before.
- 3:05:06[UNKNOWN]: it is something that feels genuinely new and exciting with him on top.
- 3:05:12[UNKNOWN]: And it's also crazy how dominant he feels when he's lost three matches, like Ocada would never lose three matches in a G1 more or less.
- 3:05:23[UNKNOWN]: Somehow, Suji feels like even with a bunch of losses, he still has indomitable champion, or he's just that good.
- 3:05:33[UNKNOWN]: All right, folks, so little technical difficulties there for a sack, but we're back.
- 3:05:37[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, Suji Bolton, uh, awesome fucking match.
- 3:05:40[UNKNOWN]: And I say, I was just, I really, so yeah, despite the fact that a two minute match happened, I still thought this show was really good, because I had a fucking, fucking match this year.
- 3:05:47[UNKNOWN]: How could that not be a really good show?
- 3:05:48[UNKNOWN]: I'll be able to imagine the year.
- 3:05:50[UNKNOWN]: And they had, and I liked the, it's not like I didn't like the other two matches, sort of the end of the show, they just were a little under what, but the, especially, uh, she can go to Kesha that found a little underwhelming, but still a very good show.
- 3:05:58[UNKNOWN]: Easily the best you want to show, we're going to talk about here.
- 3:06:01[UNKNOWN]: Because the rest of you, I'm not sure if you're going.
- 3:06:05[UNKNOWN]: All right, can you have through these faster, already, over three hours.
- 3:06:09[UNKNOWN]: Night number 13, the B-block from Yokohama Buddha Khan, 2,741 attendance.
- 3:06:14[UNKNOWN]: There's up quite a bit from last year's show, which was 2004, 48 that had an uminoverse to Kashita main.
- 3:06:21[UNKNOWN]: All do respect to Oscar and Calam Numan.
- 3:06:24[UNKNOWN]: I'm assuming a lot of those tickets were probably sold, and I was still gave versus Shota.
- 3:06:30[UNKNOWN]: uh the be blogger so the guy the guy not wrestling the show was Gabe because that was always supposed to be the main event of this.
- 3:06:36[UNKNOWN]: So a one match show here became a zero match show because there was really like they booked this card knowing like Gabe and showed him was going to carry it and then obviously showed him to pull out.
- 3:06:44[UNKNOWN]: So there's just not a very good card on paper and I did not think it was really that show and in practice too.
- 3:06:51[UNKNOWN]: uh, it opened up with Zach Saber Jr. reading Drilla Maloney in 1829.
- 3:06:56[UNKNOWN]: So this was the best thing on the show, which is bad when I then say it's three and a half stars.
- 3:07:00[UNKNOWN]: There was a perfectly good match.
- 3:07:02[UNKNOWN]: Good opener.
- 3:07:05[UNKNOWN]: You know, I just, there was like, there was just one spot where like right at the end actually, where Zach just kind of, his last camera of the Drilla killer, where it looked like really just kind of let him down.
- 3:07:16[UNKNOWN]: I was kind of annoyed at that led directly to the roll up pen because I didn't think that looked like a good counter at all.
- 3:07:20[UNKNOWN]: It just was weird.
- 3:07:21[UNKNOWN]: I was like, first I wasn't into it.
- 3:07:23[UNKNOWN]: Then I started really liking it.
- 3:07:25[UNKNOWN]: Then I felt like they totally forgot about the artwork they've been doing and had nothing to do with the final stretch of the finish.
- 3:07:30[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I was like three and a half.
- 3:07:32[UNKNOWN]: It was good, but I thought it was going towards no bookmath status and it's kind of died in the vine for me at the end.
- 3:07:37[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I have no notes on this entire show.
- 3:07:42[UNKNOWN]: It washed over like warm water.
- 3:07:46[UNKNOWN]: I put down three stars for everything just because I, which isn't even the average, right?
- 3:07:52[UNKNOWN]: It should be two and a half if you just want to say that was an average match, but I don't know.
- 3:07:56[UNKNOWN]: I remember thinking these are fine matches, but struggling to like pick out anything unique.
- 3:08:04[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to get another glass of wine and I'll be right back.
- 3:08:06[UNKNOWN]: Well, you discussed the rest of the show.
- 3:08:09[UNKNOWN]: Does everybody, does everybody about me drink on this show?
- 3:08:12[UNKNOWN]: Everybody, everybody.
- 3:08:15[UNKNOWN]: I think it has gotten late enough that yes.
- 3:08:17[UNKNOWN]: At the moment, I need some energy.
- 3:08:19[UNKNOWN]: Well, as you and John Bivins, you're both like drinking on the show, you're in Bara, Bihanna Ra in 1506 with the lion's shiner, perfectly acceptable wrestling through the early minutes, but nothing that thrilling either.
- 3:08:34[UNKNOWN]: And as I've noted for a lot with you, your match is in the store.
- 3:08:37[UNKNOWN]: The crowd was pretty quiet, like he is not connecting what fans on his tour.
- 3:08:40[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I'm pretty feel pretty justified saying that at this point.
- 3:08:46[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, I picked up a bit towards the end, but like only enough to get to like gentleman's free territory.
- 3:08:51[UNKNOWN]: You know, you guys been super flat from in this tournament.
- 3:08:55[UNKNOWN]: Uh, I mean, doesn't help that he's in such a mediocre block.
- 3:08:57[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I just, you know, steam work for me.
- 3:09:03[UNKNOWN]: Yep, I went through stars on that.
- 3:09:05[UNKNOWN]: Um, and yeah, it, you get has been weirdly flat hesitee.
- 3:09:10[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know what to make of that.
- 3:09:12[UNKNOWN]: Um, because I feel like he was one of my
- 3:09:16[UNKNOWN]: highlights since he's been started routinely being in the G1.
- 3:09:21[UNKNOWN]: This year it's it's a little odd and he's still also positioned to be able to advance so.
- 3:09:31[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
- 3:09:32[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y
- 3:09:55[UNKNOWN]: Um, but this match.
- 3:09:57[UNKNOWN]: Oh my god, I fucking hated this match.
- 3:09:59[UNKNOWN]: This is right up there with you to ice versus, um, versus, uh, jankly as worth match the tournament.
- 3:10:07[UNKNOWN]: And again, boring and bad and long is much worse than quick and funny, because this went 14 fucking minutes, we're back to boring rendering after he finally was good for the early part of this tournament.
- 3:10:22[UNKNOWN]: He's back in just being completely boring and doing nothing in between these spots and the interference spots are back to happening multiple times for match.
- 3:10:30[UNKNOWN]: And as much as I'd liked Aaron Wolfe by the way, his leg setting here was horrendous.
- 3:10:37[UNKNOWN]: He was completely forgetting to sell it for long stretches.
- 3:10:40[UNKNOWN]: He was not even doing the token grab by like after executing a move perfectly bullshit that some of them do.
- 3:10:46[UNKNOWN]: He was doing nothing.
- 3:10:48[UNKNOWN]: And it was the fucking finish, was the need bar.
- 3:10:50[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I gave this one half a star.
- 3:10:53[UNKNOWN]: Tied for worse management.
- 3:10:54[UNKNOWN]: Amen.
- 3:10:55[UNKNOWN]: Boring a shit.
- 3:10:57[UNKNOWN]: Nari to sucked.
- 3:10:59[UNKNOWN]: 5,000 interference spots again, and airmulfed in cell the leg.
- 3:11:03[UNKNOWN]: Other than that, and the back of the entire map is the leg.
- 3:11:05[UNKNOWN]: Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the fucking play?
- 3:11:09[UNKNOWN]: That, the play was bad.
- 3:11:10[UNKNOWN]: Damn, I must remember thinking, here they're kind of, oh, they're running back the house epic style, right?
- 3:11:17[UNKNOWN]: Because there's lots of different ways that the house has a house match, right?
- 3:11:22[UNKNOWN]: Sometimes they'll just interfere a little bit at the end and that makes the difference.
- 3:11:26[UNKNOWN]: But sometimes they do matches like this,
- 3:11:29[UNKNOWN]: they're just interfering all the goddamn time.
- 3:11:32[UNKNOWN]: Sometimes that works and it's exciting.
- 3:11:36[UNKNOWN]: This of just felt really routine and I don't know.
- 3:11:41[UNKNOWN]: I don't remember the lake selling bothering me, but why do you do like the lakes I didn't exist?
- 3:11:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I guess not.
- 3:11:50[UNKNOWN]: But I don't know, I mostly just went, yeah, okay, I guess that's the kind of match they're going to have here.
- 3:12:00[UNKNOWN]: It tough to say anything, one way or the other about it on my end, three stars.
- 3:12:05[UNKNOWN]: Calumnum and the Oscar in the made event in 1818, um, I, I thought this sucked to, I mean, this mess started with more fucking outside the brain brawling, which I was so fucking sick of, by this point in the tournament, and it was just like, okay, here's, okay, but Calumnumnumn has been a sicker with how he is diving into the chairs, because he's going seven or eight rows back.
- 3:12:29[UNKNOWN]: when he, uh, takes the Irish real.
- 3:12:31[UNKNOWN]: If that was like one spot, if that was like one spot and they went back to the ring, that was fine, but this match, okay, they do, they wrestle on the ring.
- 3:12:38[UNKNOWN]: They go back in and the match is a strong one for him.
- 3:12:40[UNKNOWN]: The, the, sometimes you have a large face against how much smaller he only doesn't work.
- 3:12:43[UNKNOWN]: And it didn't work here.
- 3:12:45[UNKNOWN]: And then they go back out and do more motherfucking crowd-drawing, like how was fucking crowd-drawing do think I fucking need a one tournament?
- 3:12:52[UNKNOWN]: And I'm yelling at that point too.
- 3:12:54[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they fucking suck.
- 3:12:57[UNKNOWN]: I have to do a 20 plus minute match because it's the main event.
- 3:13:01[UNKNOWN]: Well, 1818, but yes, Oscar Barry Newman, under the chair pile, just carried Red Street's back to Renderstar County.
- 3:13:07[UNKNOWN]: That was a little funny, I guess, but yeah, I don't know, if you kept yelling at him German in a desperate attempt to get the crowd to make any fucking noise at all for this, which they did not.
- 3:13:17[UNKNOWN]: It was just so boring, and they were doing the slow-ass, we're both selling how those awesome.
- 3:13:21[UNKNOWN]: We are shit, and a match that hasn't been remotely exciting anyway, and the crowd was fucking dead.
- 3:13:26[UNKNOWN]: After all this, after all this fucking shit, the match ends with Calam and the headlock.
- 3:13:32[UNKNOWN]: He throws red shoes in the ropes.
- 3:13:34[UNKNOWN]: He low blows Oscar and he does a super weak looking rope for the pen.
- 3:13:37[UNKNOWN]: That ending, which sucked on top of a match I largely didn't like, which was like, Fuck this match.
- 3:13:43[UNKNOWN]: One of the half stars and that might be generous.
- 3:13:46[UNKNOWN]: So fuck this match, fuck this show.
- 3:13:51[UNKNOWN]: I have no active memories of most of this show, and especially this match, it looks zero impression on me.
- 3:13:59[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry.
- 3:14:01[UNKNOWN]: Waiting no impression on you.
- 3:14:03[UNKNOWN]: Probably not an accurate rating for it, but whatever, it's what I have written down.
- 3:14:08[UNKNOWN]: So, let's move on.
- 3:14:10[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, okay.
- 3:14:11[UNKNOWN]: The next, the third of four shows that we're going to talk about was from this past Sunday August 9th, it was night 14, the G1, G Messet, Gunma, 1,000, section 50 attendance.
- 3:14:20[UNKNOWN]: This is the first show, really, I think the first A-block show, maybe the whole tour that was down quite a bit from the previous year.
- 3:14:27[UNKNOWN]: Last year was 253, which was headlined by David Finney versus Yeria.
- 3:14:31[UNKNOWN]: Now, that was also town of Hashi going through his hometown area.
- 3:14:35[UNKNOWN]: So maybe I assume that's why
- 3:14:38[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, during his retirement run, but you know, the opening a vlog match here was really where he was beating Jake Lee in 1247 to TM clutch.
- 3:14:50[UNKNOWN]: So Jake came out that basically Jake had always had history from Della.
- 3:14:53[UNKNOWN]: people have no idea what's going on here.
- 3:14:55[UNKNOWN]: Jake, Jake wanted to join the good looking guys back in, no, I'll be like, you're a good looking guy, and which, you know, he's a muscular man, he's a little slimmer than that's your god bless anyway, he's a little bit of a butterface, I mean, you know, he's no Jake lay in the face department, that's what I'll say.
- 3:15:15[UNKNOWN]: But while we're turned them down for the good looking guys, so they basically decided to go back to that history here at Jake Leaky after his old noothene, he was in his old attire, he didn't have the clown maker.
- 3:15:27[UNKNOWN]: Forgotten how much I like Jake Leaky, these old noothene.
- 3:15:30[UNKNOWN]: It's incredibly sinister and yet catchy.
- 3:15:34[UNKNOWN]: Now, the big problem with this match is three words.
- 3:15:41[UNKNOWN]: No, four words, excuse me.
- 3:15:43[UNKNOWN]: magical, healing, clown makeup, that is a big problem of this match.
- 3:15:49[UNKNOWN]: Because Oywa had been working on Jake's knee, just like Jake had been working on Oywa's arms, they kind of worked my back and forth, three in that.
- 3:15:58[UNKNOWN]: And I'll start with a path of thunder on October this year.
- 3:16:02[UNKNOWN]: Huh, let's see, know me.
- 3:16:04[UNKNOWN]: Just got the email.
- 3:16:05[UNKNOWN]: I think I'm sorry.
- 3:16:06[UNKNOWN]: I'll be part of here when I do that.
- 3:16:07[UNKNOWN]: I would react into an email I got.
- 3:16:09[UNKNOWN]: But yes, so Jake, Jake had his leg worked on for a
- 3:16:13[UNKNOWN]: He's telling you, he was telling you, well, I like you're a wolf of the previous day.
- 3:16:17[UNKNOWN]: He was telling you really well for a while.
- 3:16:19[UNKNOWN]: He goes into the ring.
- 3:16:20[UNKNOWN]: He smeared some red face paint on his fucking face on his mouth and he's fucking goes crazy.
- 3:16:26[UNKNOWN]: He beat him up, boy, why?
- 3:16:27[UNKNOWN]: And something he could run around on is just fine.
- 3:16:29[UNKNOWN]: I was like, the fucking clown make up, he old his fucking leg?
- 3:16:35[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, for what it's worth, that's not how I interpreted that spot.
- 3:16:42[UNKNOWN]: Jake Lee's gimmick, and I can't quite put it into words, but it's around how he spent the last year in his vacation from hell, right, in excruciating pain.
- 3:16:56[UNKNOWN]: And he comes back, he's still not 100% and he, I think, feels some insecurity around all that.
- 3:17:05[UNKNOWN]: And the clown gimmick is kind of like
- 3:17:11[UNKNOWN]: Um, I know that was very in our ticket, but it's about the best I can do at the moment three and a half hours into the podcast.
- 3:17:17[UNKNOWN]: Um, but in other words, I think he, I don't think it healed him.
- 3:17:21[UNKNOWN]: I think it just tapped into, um, a little chaos energy that he needed for like a bit of a term or like a chaos vibe that gets him through, uh, the pain of grinding through yet another match or in this case a little knee pain.
- 3:17:40[UNKNOWN]: Not that it healed, right?
- 3:17:42[UNKNOWN]: It's just pain is also a mental thing.
- 3:17:44[UNKNOWN]: So he overcomes it briefly, and I think this is the most important thing.
- 3:17:49[UNKNOWN]: Still fucking loses.
- 3:18:01[UNKNOWN]: Oh yeah, I don't know.
- 3:18:03[UNKNOWN]: I thought this is weird, but I kind of understand what he was going for, I guess.
- 3:18:07[UNKNOWN]: So Jake, Jake won for the facebreak shop because apparently his knee is fine now because he ran full force.
- 3:18:12[UNKNOWN]: Boy, we've got another way.
- 3:18:14[UNKNOWN]: Jake just put him right back down or kicks anyway, using that now completely healed me.
- 3:18:18[UNKNOWN]: Boy, well, I'm back after the knee, after the leg with a pair of inverted dragon screws, put on the ankle lock.
- 3:18:24[UNKNOWN]: Jake makes the ropes to break, and then on top of that, you know, spot, I hate where the ref didn't make him like, oh, the fucking hold, you let Jake, you let, oil would drag Jake back on the ring and get the knee bar for the fucking submission.
- 3:18:35[UNKNOWN]: So I'm like, okay, so the ref flat, oil would refuck the baby face cheap, basically.
- 3:18:38[UNKNOWN]: That's good.
- 3:18:40[UNKNOWN]: Weird fucking match.
- 3:18:41[UNKNOWN]: I was really enjoying it before the fucking magical clown hearing, healing face paint.
- 3:18:45[UNKNOWN]: But like, that pissed me off so bad.
- 3:18:47[UNKNOWN]: I was like two and a half stars by the end.
- 3:18:48[UNKNOWN]: So, and the finish sucked, too.
- 3:18:49[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, three stars flat for me.
- 3:18:55[UNKNOWN]: uh... the second match was can only take a shot of beating sonata and for you no to it the raging fire i mean i have nothing to say about this fact she was fine sure what's nothing
- 3:19:07[UNKNOWN]: Gentleman three stuff all the way the last few minutes says it from true mediocrity Unfortunately like maybe a clipping out of three and a quarter if the caches like version of the dead fall didn't look horrible Like it barely had any impact at all and that was the setup move from discovery to rage and fire But yeah, I mean, so now I just rustle cleanly again after he cheated the last time so that was interesting But yeah, three stars.
- 3:19:30[UNKNOWN]: It was fine Yeah, I wonder if there was because I don't watch the backstage commentary
- 3:19:37[UNKNOWN]: I wonder if Takeshda had done a similar thing that he did with J.C. Lee and basically Bakeshanada.
- 3:19:44[UNKNOWN]: Hey, just fight me straight up and I guess I'm not obliged.
- 3:19:50[UNKNOWN]: I've really, yeah, really nothing match moving on.
- 3:19:53[UNKNOWN]: Doesn't really make all of a sense that he would make go back to obliging.
- 3:19:56[UNKNOWN]: Right?
- 3:19:56[UNKNOWN]: But I don't know.
- 3:19:58[UNKNOWN]: Yo, to see what you'd be great, O'Con, in 1314, to be fire blaster.
- 3:20:02[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:20:02[UNKNOWN]: This fucking match.
- 3:20:04[UNKNOWN]: Uh, first of all, Oscar, I love how much he varies at Great O'Con.
- 3:20:09[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yes, they're shooting, they're shooting, but you can tell this motherfucker.
- 3:20:13[UNKNOWN]: Jin, you can tell the guy, he's genuinely hates him.
- 3:20:16[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no.
- 3:20:17[UNKNOWN]: It's so good.
- 3:20:18[UNKNOWN]: Generally, I saw someone on Twitter be like, I mean, I said on Twitter, like if you could bottle up Oscars, hatred for like Great O'Con, and make it a renewable energy source, we could get rid of all other energy in the world.
- 3:20:30[UNKNOWN]: It's just power of the whole planet until like the sun explodes.
- 3:20:34[UNKNOWN]: Somebody else said everybody in the gym roster including and everybody including the new gym roster talks about Oscar like this And it was like a picture of Charles Barley and like I'll fucking kill you.
- 3:20:44[UNKNOWN]: I'm gonna fucking kill you Like as a meme and it's like yeah, everybody seems like you want to kill this guy now
- 3:20:51[UNKNOWN]: Um, but yeah, so Ocon attacks with you from behind or his entrance with the turnbuckle pad and his arm with some chairs congrats to him.
- 3:20:59[UNKNOWN]: This was again another much worse match than the match everybody went crazy about because it was bad and boring and 13 minutes long not a minute and 47 seconds.
- 3:21:10[UNKNOWN]: Suji tried his best.
- 3:21:12[UNKNOWN]: God bless him to bring some excitement to this match where they moon saw up the second post to the floor.
- 3:21:16[UNKNOWN]: He did his own version of taking a seat in this corner, but it was funny.
- 3:21:22[UNKNOWN]: We went back to the floor to the five-minute call though, thank God for that because I hadn't had enough of outside the room crawling yet.
- 3:21:28[UNKNOWN]: Oscar, Oscar, there's a great line.
- 3:21:30[UNKNOWN]: I don't think I actually heard Oscar say it.
- 3:21:32[UNKNOWN]: When I heard Walker, I heard Walker Stewart go, quote, did you just call him a fat baby?
- 3:21:37[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, I don't rewind here, ask you, I actually say that, and I just the way Walker said I was so funny.
- 3:21:43[UNKNOWN]: But yes, the only good thing about the match is the point was the commentary, because I was so bored.
- 3:21:47[UNKNOWN]: Suji, O'Conns are gorgeous, Suji's arm.
- 3:21:50[UNKNOWN]: Suji did sell it fairly well.
- 3:21:52[UNKNOWN]: I really, well, actually, it was in the being like the only good thing about the match.
- 3:21:56[UNKNOWN]: Which is funny because it's guy who is like a fucking great-o-con shooter on cage match actually get this match a poor rating and said Sushi's arm selling blood of down.
- 3:22:06[UNKNOWN]: I was like You motherfucker that was the only good thing about the match with Sushi's arm selling
- 3:22:11[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, 10 minutes, felt like 10 hours.
- 3:22:14[UNKNOWN]: Um, great O'Con use Marty Osama as a shield to block the spear and then low blow them, but suit your vers the claw slam into a DDT, that was maybe the best little spot of the match, but the crowd still didn't give a shit and I can't really blame them.
- 3:22:27[UNKNOWN]: Uh, great O'Con blocked whichever.
- 3:22:30[UNKNOWN]: So he basically, Suji was going for some blaster, the gene or the fire, and Ocon blocked it with a punch to the arm.
- 3:22:38[UNKNOWN]: It was supposed to look cool instead of like he barely touched him, so it looked weak as fuck.
- 3:22:43[UNKNOWN]: Suji done hit a short-range team blast anyway, though.
- 3:22:47[UNKNOWN]: And then two straight full gene blast anywhere to the pan.
- 3:22:49[UNKNOWN]: It wasn't the fire blaster, that's right, Chris Charter, what the world's wrong finish here.
- 3:22:53[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, he's just hitting him with the gene blast until he stayed down, which was cool.
- 3:22:58[UNKNOWN]: He was like this fat piece of shit doesn't deserve of the fuck my fucking super finisher I'm pinning him with a move that nobody ever penns him with and you know, it's sugy good for you.
- 3:23:07[UNKNOWN]: Good for you, buddy I agree because great.
- 3:23:09[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I'm fucking sucks now just like that's fucking sucked What in a quarter this fucking mat rating this match single-handly drag sugy's average star ring for me in this tournament because I keep track of on my stupid spreadsheet
- 3:23:22[UNKNOWN]: It's single-handly drag to start raining from like 4.5 for me or something.
- 3:23:28[UNKNOWN]: It really absurd down all the way down to 4.1-3, but we bought great-o-cons average star rating as a 1.97, which is one of the lowest I can remember any one having in this tournament, as long as I've been doing these fucking spreadsheets.
- 3:23:41[UNKNOWN]: So yes, he is really having one of the worst B1s of all time in my opinion at least.
- 3:23:45[UNKNOWN]: So, in a good block, not even a bad block.
- 3:23:51[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, yeah, he'd fuck himself.
- 3:23:54[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, I was closer to the fucking radio con.
- 3:23:58[UNKNOWN]: You ball a fat bitch.
- 3:24:02[UNKNOWN]: It is so hard to just listen to how passionately you hate this guy and go.
- 3:24:07[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 3:24:08[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was okay.
- 3:24:09[UNKNOWN]: I thought the arm, the arm selling part of the match.
- 3:24:13[UNKNOWN]: I thought was the best part.
- 3:24:16[UNKNOWN]: And yes, a lot of that is suit you selling, but I did like those, the punch that you hate it.
- 3:24:21[UNKNOWN]: I thought oh, that's a nice touch because he will use that spot normally just to do a punch trying to push the arm a little bit more.
- 3:24:28[UNKNOWN]: I thought that made sense.
- 3:24:30[UNKNOWN]: But otherwise, too much time with crowd broadly, it's paced really slowly.
- 3:24:37[UNKNOWN]: Oh, Con clearly is not interested in taking a lot of bumps, so that's putting it mildly.
- 3:24:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:24:43[UNKNOWN]: I've seen Tony McCabe take more bumps in a match in this.
- 3:24:47[UNKNOWN]: So ultimately, what I got, what I liked the most was just Suji hitting the Jean Blaspam on a great O'Con until he stayed down.
- 3:24:59[UNKNOWN]: So that's a good way to end the match.
- 3:25:04[UNKNOWN]: Then we had a rookie go to be the embolts in Oleg in 1520 the GTR.
- 3:25:07[UNKNOWN]: I mean, this was just my most disappointing match of the tournament.
- 3:25:10[UNKNOWN]: I thought this was going to be really good.
- 3:25:12[UNKNOWN]: I didn't have going to in half star, I thought I was incredibly average.
- 3:25:14[UNKNOWN]: Maybe I was just in a bad mood after that last match, but, you know, it was pace pretty slow.
- 3:25:18[UNKNOWN]: It was kind of boring.
- 3:25:20[UNKNOWN]: The crowd was dead, exactly what the show did not need.
- 3:25:24[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, I was, I, I, I, I, I just, I just, I just, I just didn't think there was anything exciting interesting going on at all.
- 3:25:32[UNKNOWN]: Just was so slow to me.
- 3:25:34[UNKNOWN]: And I guess you finally picked up a little bit for the 15 minute call and the crowd finally did get a new one, but then go to this at the UGR1.
- 3:25:39[UNKNOWN]: So I was like, okay.
- 3:25:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, two and a half.
- 3:25:42[UNKNOWN]: I just thought it was average vanish.
- 3:25:44[UNKNOWN]: I went for flat.
- 3:25:44[UNKNOWN]: I really liked it.
- 3:25:46[UNKNOWN]: Um, okay.
- 3:25:47[UNKNOWN]: I'm great.
- 3:25:48[UNKNOWN]: I'm great.
- 3:25:49[UNKNOWN]: Okay, where are the inmates again?
- 3:25:50[UNKNOWN]: I got it.
- 3:25:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you got to see on that.
- 3:25:52[UNKNOWN]: So why I thought this match was great was because it is go to doing a standard match on Bolton and then realizing about halfway through that's not going to work anymore.
- 3:26:02[UNKNOWN]: And so he tries to choke him out.
- 3:26:04[UNKNOWN]: And that turned out to be a lot more successful.
- 3:26:07[UNKNOWN]: And yes, he wanted to write the idea of a solution to you, but not be a solution to me.
- 3:26:13[UNKNOWN]: OK, I'm higher.
- 3:26:14[UNKNOWN]: Who's 6, there's 6.85.
- 3:26:16[UNKNOWN]: So that implies between three and a quarter and three and a half.
- 3:26:18[UNKNOWN]: OK, OK.
- 3:26:21[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I thought the story of the match was great.
- 3:26:24[UNKNOWN]: I feel like this is kind of becoming, I feel like Cardio was becoming Bolton's Achilles heel, which makes a lot of sense for a big guy.
- 3:26:36[UNKNOWN]: or go to try to choke him out as the new way to handle him, make a ton of sense, and it's fun to see as the tournament happens over time, other wrestlers adapts like that.
- 3:26:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, I got it.
- 3:26:52[UNKNOWN]: I just didn't like this much.
- 3:26:54[UNKNOWN]: Did you hate GOK so much?
- 3:26:56[UNKNOWN]: It's even affecting matches he's not in.
- 3:26:59[UNKNOWN]: Exactly.
- 3:27:02[UNKNOWN]: I didn't mean to be above it all, it's just I don't get the hate.
- 3:27:07[UNKNOWN]: Well, I guess you're the one who likes them, so I don't know.
- 3:27:10[UNKNOWN]: I'm not, I don't even like this divergent of you, okay.
- 3:27:12[UNKNOWN]: I just think it's like average, I don't know.
- 3:27:16[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:27:17[UNKNOWN]: That makes you like this biggest known thing in the universe.
- 3:27:19[UNKNOWN]: That might be it, yeah, where it's like, yeah, I guess this is okay.
- 3:27:22[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you want to just do Gilly the whole time.
- 3:27:24[UNKNOWN]: Okay, sure.
- 3:27:25[UNKNOWN]: There's better ways to spend your time, but okay.
- 3:27:29[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the main event, thankfully, I did like a lot, which was Udo Ice, beating Schinger to Kagi and at 2025 with a knee strike.
- 3:27:35[UNKNOWN]: Nice.
- 3:27:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, starting out, the crowd made more noise for an early U-Doh single form exchange in the beta in the entire previous two matches combined.
- 3:27:44[UNKNOWN]: But, but just for now I was like, okay, maybe this match will be great.
- 3:27:47[UNKNOWN]: They were like, maybe, maybe they were like, John might be enjoying this too much at home.
- 3:27:50[UNKNOWN]: Time for more outside the ring for all of it.
- 3:27:53[UNKNOWN]: Oh, it's like okay.
- 3:27:55[UNKNOWN]: Bye.
- 3:27:56[UNKNOWN]: You know, but the gap back in the run they got it back on track, um, you know, again, trying to kind of get through stuff here faster after the 15 minute call, shingo did the shingo got the, the say, well, they both had these nice looks change or short on where it's not a sorry.
- 3:28:13[UNKNOWN]: Short on why it's from Shingo, middle kicks from Utah, that was the exchange, it was a nice little exchange, and then that led him to the Shingo hit in the main Japan for a two count.
- 3:28:20[UNKNOWN]: He tried to do the, well, he was doing the dance and sound elbows to side of Utah's next for a second.
- 3:28:25[UNKNOWN]: They didn't try to slide in where yet, but you know, ducked it, hit this big buzz saw kick, that was a cool sequence, and you don't just kept taking bomb after bomb from Shingo here, and he's doing a great job selling, he's going out his feet, which obviously has been his team through the entire tournament, so he's like, okay, he's going to get knocked out again,
- 3:28:43[UNKNOWN]: But, you know, Shingo looks like you want to pin them.
- 3:28:46[UNKNOWN]: You can pick one for the burning dragon and the pumping bomber back to back where you don't kick out.
- 3:28:50[UNKNOWN]: And that earned this huge ice, too.
- 3:28:52[UNKNOWN]: Ice, too, champion from the crowd.
- 3:28:55[UNKNOWN]: Shingo, one for last the dragon, you don't elbow to his way out of it.
- 3:28:58[UNKNOWN]: They exchange more strikes, including these pretty cool chops to the neck from Shingo.
- 3:29:03[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but you know fire back out to a single string for the elbows the neck with the, uh, fucking slap to his face.
- 3:29:10[UNKNOWN]: That was great.
- 3:29:11[UNKNOWN]: They both created big, big head buds, but you don't simply hit this big, these are the face that apparently not actually go out.
- 3:29:17[UNKNOWN]: And he collapsed and you don't pin them.
- 3:29:19[UNKNOWN]: I love their finish because these are pinters can't truly fucking strike exchanges.
- 3:29:23[UNKNOWN]: Why does the last time someone ever got knocked out on the fucking
- 3:29:28[UNKNOWN]: Sorry.
- 3:29:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you haven't went more often.
- 3:29:30[UNKNOWN]: It should.
- 3:29:31[UNKNOWN]: It makes so much sense by the way that it's utilize who wins that way too.
- 3:29:35[UNKNOWN]: Because that man's entire strategy is just hit people really hard over and over again, preferably in the head.
- 3:29:42[UNKNOWN]: He works the head like it's a limb in a limb match.
- 3:29:45[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's so good.
- 3:29:48[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, thank God, when it's match, I went four stars on an easy to best thing on the show.
- 3:29:52[UNKNOWN]: No, this little way the rest of this fucking show, that's fucking sure.
- 3:29:59[UNKNOWN]: Uh, four in a quarter, I'd like to even more.
- 3:30:03[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the, the, the inmates were a little lower than maybe not that much.
- 3:30:06[UNKNOWN]: They were like, uh, 7.5 tears, like three and three quarters.
- 3:30:09[UNKNOWN]: That's whatever.
- 3:30:10[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I thought this was great.
- 3:30:13[UNKNOWN]: Uh, but yeah, one match show.
- 3:30:14[UNKNOWN]: That's for fucking sure.
- 3:30:15[UNKNOWN]: There was a shout.
- 3:30:15[UNKNOWN]: That's a great.
- 3:30:16[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah, do not bother with the rest of the show.
- 3:30:19[UNKNOWN]: The next show, the final G1 we're going to talk about was from earlier today, Tuesday, August 11th from the Nisho Highway Arena, Mi-A, their first time running Mi-A in the G1, I think, ever, if not, it's been a long, fucking time.
- 3:30:35[UNKNOWN]: So no comparable here, really.
- 3:30:38[UNKNOWN]: Um, you can compare to Nagoya maybe because they're kind of close to this or place in Nagoya show in which case it would be very slightly up 2003-10 versus 2001-62 in Nagoya last year, but that's also Nagoya running a shitty building now because that's where they stopped running there because they're main building close down And also like this this is a fucking G1 show on me.
- 3:30:57[UNKNOWN]: I'm sure I drew off the uh, you know, the novelty of it Um
- 3:31:03[UNKNOWN]: The B-block show again, obviously.
- 3:31:05[UNKNOWN]: Oscar was today's missing Racer was supposed to face you.
- 3:31:07[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I opened up with Zack and Hanoi.
- 3:31:10[UNKNOWN]: I mean, just to see what you thought of this was, everybody liked this word and I did.
- 3:31:13[UNKNOWN]: I feel like, I thought this was an okay match.
- 3:31:16[UNKNOWN]: I just didn't knock it into it.
- 3:31:18[UNKNOWN]: Hanoi, just refusing to sell as fucking arm this match and just layering this shit out of Zack the entire time.
- 3:31:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the Katie inmates liked it way more than me too.
- 3:31:26[UNKNOWN]: They went 7.6, so like, I'm flying three and three quarters.
- 3:31:30[UNKNOWN]: I just did not like that.
- 3:31:30[UNKNOWN]: So I was like, I would like two, two and three quarters.
- 3:31:32[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was okay, you know?
- 3:31:34[UNKNOWN]: And just like one fucking layer yet, where you're like fighting through the pain to throw the light when the guys will work on your, on your on the whole time.
- 3:31:41[UNKNOWN]: And it's gonna be the finished two is one thing.
- 3:31:43[UNKNOWN]: He did like fucking three or four, maybe I'm five of them.
- 3:31:46[UNKNOWN]: I think that's absurd.
- 3:31:47[UNKNOWN]: Your arm can't hurt that much.
- 3:31:48[UNKNOWN]: If you're throwing it, there's a man's face repeatedly.
- 3:31:50[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry.
- 3:31:51[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, two and three quarters, it was okay.
- 3:31:54[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I think Conor is one of those wrestlers
- 3:31:59[UNKNOWN]: continuing to throw lary.
- 3:32:00[UNKNOWN]: It's like that even when the arms getting worked partly because that's such a huge part of his offense, right?
- 3:32:08[UNKNOWN]: So it and he's such a tough mother fucker.
- 3:32:12[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 3:32:13[UNKNOWN]: The story worked for me.
- 3:32:15[UNKNOWN]: I also liked the additional layer that Walker added on English commentary by pointing out that Hinaria hasn't submitted in four years.
- 3:32:23[UNKNOWN]: So Zach making it a point to try to submit him and Hinaria getting the partial victory
- 3:32:29[UNKNOWN]: of instead just passing out to the savage yeah well I don't think it was savage I think he passed out and that's why the okay why am I even like making a distinction here that's not oh yeah that's a savage yeah that's a stoppage I just defined what a stoppage is good Christ I'm tired well I don't think any of the other topics would take as long as this these two didn't think yeah yeah but yeah I went through and a half so closer to the
- 3:32:59[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the next match was Aaron Wolf beating Calum, I don't know.
- 3:33:02[UNKNOWN]: I'm skipped one.
- 3:33:03[UNKNOWN]: It was Drilla Baloney beating Red Nary to, oh my god, this fucking match.
- 3:33:06[UNKNOWN]: 1154 with a fucking drilling killer.
- 3:33:10[UNKNOWN]: So Kenna will attack to Drilla and the ally is some lightbowing and I do mean very lightbowing.
- 3:33:15[UNKNOWN]: Uh, that led to more crowd fucking brawling.
- 3:33:17[UNKNOWN]: I can't even be sarcastic about anymore.
- 3:33:19[UNKNOWN]: Please fucking stop.
- 3:33:21[UNKNOWN]: Stop brawling in the fucking crowd for half and fucking match and half of
- 3:33:27[UNKNOWN]: It's too much fucking crowd-browing.
- 3:33:29[UNKNOWN]: Okay, this is the most likely light.
- 3:33:31[UNKNOWN]: Is it that they're doing it more than usual or is it that it is such a common part of G1 matches and we watched way too much wrestling this week?
- 3:33:43[UNKNOWN]: So, I think I feel like doing it even more than usual to me.
- 3:33:46[UNKNOWN]: I could be wrong, but I feel like doing it even more unusual.
- 3:33:48[UNKNOWN]: I don't remember being this.
- 3:33:50[UNKNOWN]: I guess is the latter that this is the same amount as normal, but it is still noticeable
- 3:33:58[UNKNOWN]: But we're once again back to repeated interference about the match, we're in the arena, thank God.
- 3:34:03[UNKNOWN]: The crowd did make a little bit of noise for drillers to come back, though at least.
- 3:34:06[UNKNOWN]: I don't know how to sarcastic, thank God, but I feel like I didn't say that sarcastic enough.
- 3:34:10[UNKNOWN]: This guy was doing good for a while, and he's like, all right, time to suck again.
- 3:34:14[UNKNOWN]: Like why?
- 3:34:15[UNKNOWN]: Why are you sucking again?
- 3:34:15[UNKNOWN]: Like what is the thing here?
- 3:34:18[UNKNOWN]: Um, after Drillis speared, Narita Togo pulled Marty Osami out and he hilariously bumped himself in the railing, that was funny.
- 3:34:25[UNKNOWN]: That was the best thing in the match.
- 3:34:27[UNKNOWN]: Um, that's so good.
- 3:34:28[UNKNOWN]: That's so good.
- 3:34:30[UNKNOWN]: The three of them beat up Drillis, that did get pretty substantial heat finally.
- 3:34:33[UNKNOWN]: The crowd did go boo.
- 3:34:35[UNKNOWN]: Drillis sent Togo into Canada, Mara, to make him spit out the whiskey he was trying to spit though, but then he fucking walked.
- 3:34:41[UNKNOWN]: Okay, this spot.
- 3:34:43[UNKNOWN]: This fucking spot was as bad as anything I've ever seen in the American wrestling, which is saying something.
- 3:34:49[UNKNOWN]: Drilla was fighting these men off, and instead of staying on Renderita, instead of doing the even the drill killer on Renderita, anything, he walked over the ropes to fucking yell at Marty's saw me to get back on the ring.
- 3:35:02[UNKNOWN]: You haven't even hit a finish or anything, I'm not ready to get.
- 3:35:05[UNKNOWN]: Why the fuck do you care?
- 3:35:07[UNKNOWN]: If Mario Sombie's in the ring to count a pin or whatever yet, and he, he fucking does this for so long that it lets Nary to blow him from, blow him from behind.
- 3:35:16[UNKNOWN]: This may even the first ever distraction spot I've ever seen were the man distracted themselves.
- 3:35:21[UNKNOWN]: There was no reason for him to do that.
- 3:35:23[UNKNOWN]: He walked over the ropes and yelled for Marty to get back in the brain for no goddamn reason.
- 3:35:27[UNKNOWN]: And even if you have to do it in that moment, yell once and then go back to your opponent.
- 3:35:30[UNKNOWN]: He was like, oh, Martin, Martin, Martin, Martin, Martin, but, buddy, you have a fucking rest in a moment here.
- 3:35:37[UNKNOWN]: Why yelling at the referee, I'll do it out on the floor, makes no fucking sense.
- 3:35:41[UNKNOWN]: So then,
- 3:35:43[UNKNOWN]: Then Togo missed the power of the eyes.
- 3:35:44[UNKNOWN]: He got Naryton's dad and Drillah hit the Drillah killer for the pen.
- 3:35:48[UNKNOWN]: This fucking sucked.
- 3:35:49[UNKNOWN]: We are back to bad house story, duh.
- 3:35:51[UNKNOWN]: Boring is fuck in between 7,000 runins and stupid fucking interference spots.
- 3:35:57[UNKNOWN]: I guess Drillah's comeback was a certain level of exciting, but it wasn't even very long.
- 3:36:01[UNKNOWN]: And that fucking self-destructions spot dropped this entire thing back down another notch to me.
- 3:36:06[UNKNOWN]: So, yes, we've had so many contenders for Worcester after the tournament lately, and this was another one.
- 3:36:13[UNKNOWN]: Damn, I am literally going back to try and find that spot you're talking about where he yells for the ref because I do not remember that happening that way.
- 3:36:26[UNKNOWN]: Okay, well this is making for great audio.
- 3:36:31[UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to litigate any of this.
- 3:36:33[UNKNOWN]: I put down two and a half stars.
- 3:36:36[UNKNOWN]: I did not feel strongly about it one way or the other.
- 3:36:39[UNKNOWN]: But I did enjoy.
- 3:36:41[UNKNOWN]: the brief bit of justice over and already getting some powder to the face and the neutral killer.
- 3:36:46[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, we're deep into the tournament now.
- 3:36:50[UNKNOWN]: So it is it's feeling tough to find things to appreciate.
- 3:36:56[UNKNOWN]: But at least the next match was really good.
- 3:37:00[UNKNOWN]: Air Wolf, B-Calm, Newman, and 1657 with the head and arm triangle.
- 3:37:04[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I mean, this started so slow.
- 3:37:06[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
- 3:37:08[UNKNOWN]: The car was so dead, it was nothing to speak up in the first five minutes.
- 3:37:11[UNKNOWN]: You know, it was just a column sort of beating up in an interesting way.
- 3:37:16[UNKNOWN]: The pace has eventually picked up.
- 3:37:18[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it may you may have to ten minute call.
- 3:37:20[UNKNOWN]: I don't remember.
- 3:37:21[UNKNOWN]: But, you know, the crab was impressed by Calam actually being able to lift Wolf into a front suitplex.
- 3:37:27[UNKNOWN]: And then he dropped him across his knee from that position for a two count.
- 3:37:30[UNKNOWN]: Then he had a really good running knee attack to a seat of Wolf for another near fall.
- 3:37:34[UNKNOWN]: Wolf came back at the land slide.
- 3:37:36[UNKNOWN]: Calam kind of off again, not long after that.
- 3:37:38[UNKNOWN]: Then we got the sensational closing stretch that unfortunately we had already
- 3:37:44[UNKNOWN]: Wolves escaped the make way.
- 3:37:46[UNKNOWN]: He had a fucking Canadian destroyer They execute perfectly.
- 3:37:51[UNKNOWN]: Yes, then you get an Olympic slam and he walks in the triangle and counts as a mission That's one of the best Finches the year.
- 3:37:57[UNKNOWN]: I saw lame asses complaining about that some sweater That you do you know make-oh, man, this why did you continue to destroyer?
- 3:38:04[UNKNOWN]: No, that's the whole point Oh my god
- 3:38:11[UNKNOWN]: First of all, first of all, sick is hell that I'm in this big Disney destroyer and it looked perfect, too.
- 3:38:16[UNKNOWN]: Second of all, yes, as Armathitch is yelled, wait and miss the entire fucking point of why he did the queen destroyer because he's a pro wrestler now, as he keeps saying, he keeps, he's not even missing the point that they're trying to tell you on the screen.
- 3:38:27[UNKNOWN]: He keeps fucking say he get back stage, too.
- 3:38:30[UNKNOWN]: It's the point of all of his G1 matches now.
- 3:38:35[UNKNOWN]: They literally made the subtext
- 3:38:40[UNKNOWN]: Oh my god Never never never underestimate the stupidity of people to miss things I guess people just wanted him to do nothing but jude over the rest of his life He's not gonna do jude austale.
- 3:38:50[UNKNOWN]: He's still beat him with the fucking triangle didn't he?
- 3:38:52[UNKNOWN]: But like the man wants to do some pro wrestling moves too.
- 3:38:55[UNKNOWN]: You only get jueling for years jude out God forbid the man wants to do some for wrestling moves like Jesus Christ
- 3:39:02[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I was like three and a half on it.
- 3:39:03[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was good.
- 3:39:04[UNKNOWN]: I just wouldn't have gone, I wouldn't even gone that high without the crazy finish.
- 3:39:07[UNKNOWN]: Like I probably wouldn't have been three on it without that.
- 3:39:09[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I would three and three quarters because I don't know.
- 3:39:13[UNKNOWN]: I thought it built well, I pretty much found the whole thing and grossing outside of the outside brawling, but we've discussed that to death.
- 3:39:22[UNKNOWN]: uh... made event was you remember a beating gave kid in twenty two ten with an inside cradle uh... they just stay each other down the bell foodie dot engulfs go she was a case and it's to forgive a infringement i guess because it didn't feel like a one-on-a-while uh... gave them stalled forever you left the ring and tried repeatedly to try and beat you to go after him you wouldn't do it so nothing was happening finally gave that back in it took the entire first five minutes of the match for barely any wrestling having happened
- 3:39:47[UNKNOWN]: Um, Gabe gave you a suplex under row of chairs.
- 3:39:51[UNKNOWN]: All the way back to the outside, thank God.
- 3:39:53[UNKNOWN]: I mean, again, I was worried they wouldn't do that.
- 3:39:56[UNKNOWN]: uh... gave you your supercs on the road shares which would probably be cool but i didn't see the ship the last month uh... then we did finally get some wrestling back at the ring you control games arm the crowd is pretty dead again uh... gave after hitting some extremely hard strikes finally brought this match some excitement but you are mostly started to move hit a double underhooks you flex for two count
- 3:40:19[UNKNOWN]: You can then hit the high fly flow for a two count at that moment gate kicked out You your transition beautifully to a cross armbreaker attempt Game was able to lock his hands to block it at first and then escape But then you had got a bit of wrist lock.
- 3:40:30[UNKNOWN]: I love that he put you gave him this wrist lock and gave couldn't get out of it That was first one great heel suit He would even gave him a kid that he really could not escape a wrist lock Could such a bet such a bad roster only a good brawler But yeah great great stuff
- 3:40:43[UNKNOWN]: There was already for the 20-minute call.
- 3:40:45[UNKNOWN]: Gabe just kept slugging away on UUIA with elbows and punches.
- 3:40:48[UNKNOWN]: UUIA came back with a paylay kick, which I still think is totally out of place for his move set, that's supposed to be such a throwback, and a dragon's suplex hold for a two-count.
- 3:40:57[UNKNOWN]: Um, the closing strategy is fantastic.
- 3:40:59[UNKNOWN]: I can really say the match.
- 3:41:01[UNKNOWN]: You get, got hit with the power drive, already kicked out.
- 3:41:04[UNKNOWN]: Unfortunately, I, if they didn't fuck this up, I probably would have gone for it.
- 3:41:07[UNKNOWN]: But like, they fucked up the finish kind of.
- 3:41:09[UNKNOWN]: Like, you just skate the death rider.
- 3:41:11[UNKNOWN]: He also escaped the front suplex and tried to go for that instead.
- 3:41:14[UNKNOWN]: But he fucking fell down when he was supposed to land on his feet.
- 3:41:17[UNKNOWN]: And they both kind of just had to awkwardly scramble.
- 3:41:19[UNKNOWN]: And for this roll up, it didn't look good at all.
- 3:41:21[UNKNOWN]: And that was unfortunately the pen.
- 3:41:23[UNKNOWN]: So three and three quarters, I still thought was really good,
- 3:41:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, fucking at the finish was not good.
- 3:41:28[UNKNOWN]: Obviously.
- 3:41:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:41:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:41:30[UNKNOWN]: Um, three and three quarters as well.
- 3:41:32[UNKNOWN]: It was a match that felt like it was trending towards great and felt just short.
- 3:41:39[UNKNOWN]: Um, I was actually almost like, how do I put this?
- 3:41:45[UNKNOWN]: I think the gap between what I rated this and what I thought I was going to
- 3:41:55[UNKNOWN]: is so much bigger than, it feels noticeable that I looked at that and that was three and three quarters.
- 3:42:04[UNKNOWN]: I went, yeah, that was weirdly disappointing too.
- 3:42:08[UNKNOWN]: I thought they were just gonna get a better match out of each other than this.
- 3:42:12[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:42:14[UNKNOWN]: Well, there you go.
- 3:42:14[UNKNOWN]: Not a great show.
- 3:42:15[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the last two matches were pretty good, but the first two kind of sucked.
- 3:42:19[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the first one, not the opening sucked, it's too strong.
- 3:42:21[UNKNOWN]: The older is average, the second match really sucked.
- 3:42:25[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's your matches were good.
- 3:42:27[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, not the best we could have won climax as for sure.
- 3:42:31[UNKNOWN]: I mean, one incredible match.
- 3:42:32[UNKNOWN]: And some other stuff that was pretty good, but just, you know, some really bad stuff, too.
- 3:42:37[UNKNOWN]: All right, so the A-block change, I'm not going to go in a detail on this because most people are going to use.
- 3:42:41[UNKNOWN]: Like when a talent comes out tomorrow on the 12th, that's when the A-block finals are.
- 3:42:45[UNKNOWN]: So most people have seen that already, at least seeing what happened.
- 3:42:48[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it's to cash it on top of 12 points, old bull nolig, sugi, and oiwa are all type or second or 10 points.
- 3:42:54[UNKNOWN]: And then everybody else is basically, everybody else is eliminated.
- 3:42:57[UNKNOWN]: So you don't ice and shingo have eight points.
- 3:42:59[UNKNOWN]: I guess it could get in through some wacky tie record we're not going to do.
- 3:43:03[UNKNOWN]: Jake Lee, Sonata, and Goto all have six points and O'Conan's four points.
- 3:43:08[UNKNOWN]: Good for him, I hope he found his fucking vengeance is last.
- 3:43:12[UNKNOWN]: The A-block finals have Shingo, Sonata, which is meaningless.
- 3:43:15[UNKNOWN]: Goto, you know, Ice, which is also basically meaningless.
- 3:43:17[UNKNOWN]: Then, Suji, Jake Lee, which is a big match.
- 3:43:20[UNKNOWN]: If Suji wins that, he can get back into tie for first, and he does have the tie record on Takeshita.
- 3:43:27[UNKNOWN]: He does not have the tie record on Bolton, no Bolton has on him.
- 3:43:31[UNKNOWN]: Then Bolton only can create a con, which again, Bolton needs that wind to probably move on and then to cash it out Oywa, which both of them have 10 points.
- 3:43:40[UNKNOWN]: Or to cash it's 12 and Oywa has 10.
- 3:43:43[UNKNOWN]: I think what's going to happen, and then guess I really will know already about 10 and listen probably, but I think Oywa is going to be to cash it and spoil him.
- 3:43:49[UNKNOWN]: And then Suji is going to beat Jake and O'Connor and spoil Bolton.
- 3:43:54[UNKNOWN]: So be a three-way tie, sugi, sugi to cache.ioa, and sugi.ioa will be the two ago through because y1, sugi would have both been to cache that.
- 3:44:04[UNKNOWN]: So I think it's going to happen.
- 3:44:05[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I believe that.
- 3:44:08[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:44:09[UNKNOWN]: But you will say, but basically, sugi to cache.ioa, well, both in the four, I can get through.
- 3:44:13[UNKNOWN]: So so.
- 3:44:15[UNKNOWN]: uh B-block, this one I can talk about a little more because it's this the finals for this is not till Thursday at Kork and Hall.
- 3:44:22[UNKNOWN]: Um, so the B-block standing is heading into that night.
- 3:44:26[UNKNOWN]: So the one guy has the, so basically, you know, five or ten points, gave kid, Kyle Newman, Ren, Narita, and New York, and Mara, they're all five and three.
- 3:44:34[UNKNOWN]: They're all one match left.
- 3:44:35[UNKNOWN]: Drilla was the one who was supposed to face Shona Umino on the last night, so he's the one who's sitting out.
- 3:44:40[UNKNOWN]: So he's five and four.
- 3:44:42[UNKNOWN]: So he probably needs a lot of help to move on.
- 3:44:46[UNKNOWN]: Also being a lot of help probably, Hannari, Oscar, Zack, and Aaron Wolf, they're all four and four eight points.
- 3:44:50[UNKNOWN]: I don't think any of them are technically eliminated, maybe some of them are based on tie breakers or whatever, but they're all very unlikely to make it.
- 3:44:56[UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to see if we have this order in the show yet.
- 3:44:59[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, we do in the Japanese site.
- 3:45:00[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:45:01[UNKNOWN]: So,
- 3:45:03[UNKNOWN]: we have the opener, the torment opener is Aaron Wolfer's Zach, which makes sense because they're both eight points, that could be a really good match.
- 3:45:10[UNKNOWN]: I'm excited to see that match.
- 3:45:11[UNKNOWN]: Then we have Gabe Kid, Render Rita, the winner of that would be in great shape to get through where I assume the game is going to win.
- 3:45:18[UNKNOWN]: You, your versus Oscar, I mean putting that second from the top, maybe you, your beats Oscar, and then a Henry Spoyle's column in the main event.
- 3:45:33[UNKNOWN]: So there would be U.N. Gabe.
- 3:45:38[UNKNOWN]: I could see it.
- 3:45:39[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, I feel like it feels like a very young generation in tournament.
- 3:45:42[UNKNOWN]: You're sending Gabe U. Yeah, I assume G or I'm a throw, I feel like something I'm going to do this year.
- 3:45:48[UNKNOWN]: I could be wrong.
- 3:45:49[UNKNOWN]: I mean, this is the time to do it.
- 3:45:50[UNKNOWN]: I feel like a lot of the excitement for the tournament has mostly come from the youngest wrestlers.
- 3:45:55[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, yeah, I could buy that.
- 3:46:01[UNKNOWN]: I will say who won gave you you who won gave you yeah it was you yeah we just saw that okay right so you know it's in his first and yesterday or he had the tie breaker right and I think I think he would face to cash you that I don't know if you'd face that to cash it would be suging or you're moving on he would face OIWAP because I think OIWAP had OIWAP has the suging as a type of OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP, OIWAP,
- 3:46:29[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, so that again.
- 3:46:30[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I'm old.
- 3:46:31[UNKNOWN]: Suji B or I'm almost positive.
- 3:46:33[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
- 3:46:34[UNKNOWN]: Why?
- 3:46:35[UNKNOWN]: Why not?
- 3:46:36[UNKNOWN]: Sure now.
- 3:46:37[UNKNOWN]: So that would make the semi-finals Suji Gabe and UEA and UEA and UEA.
- 3:46:44[UNKNOWN]: Which seems, that seems very possible.
- 3:46:47[UNKNOWN]: Then you could do a Suji Gabe final.
- 3:46:49[UNKNOWN]: You could do a UEA Suji final.
- 3:46:53[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, which both of those feel very likely to be actually.
- 3:46:59[UNKNOWN]: there you go.
- 3:47:03[UNKNOWN]: Anything else to add, remove on?
- 3:47:07[UNKNOWN]: I am trying to keep the bracket in my head, and that's just impossible.
- 3:47:12[UNKNOWN]: So my brain is broken.
- 3:47:14[UNKNOWN]: Let's move on to things.
- 3:47:16[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, there's our two other G1 shows to you this of course before next week's show the semi-finals on August 15 that Simo Hall has already sold out.
- 3:47:23[UNKNOWN]: There's a five-minute piece of the five-minute 10s on Kojima retirement match and then the finals on Sunday, August 16th, they're not sold out.
- 3:47:30[UNKNOWN]: So I think they're doing pretty well though, they're same
- 3:47:34[UNKNOWN]: All right, let's go to Tokyo, Yoshi for the Princess Cup Quarter Finals.
- 3:47:38[UNKNOWN]: This was from Real Go, KFC Hall, 365 fans, Super Vignancy Full House, another sell out for them.
- 3:47:45[UNKNOWN]: If there's second sell out of the year, I think they're because the show I went to in June was also so out.
- 3:47:49[UNKNOWN]: So, not a big venue, obviously, but still cool.
- 3:47:52[UNKNOWN]: Um, I'll read the results for the opening three, but I didn't watch them.
- 3:47:55[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if you did.
- 3:47:56[UNKNOWN]: I don't.
- 3:47:58[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:47:58[UNKNOWN]: Meowat is avian rink or not to beat Wakana Rihara and Momo Sato.
- 3:48:02[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Momo, or Miu pinned Momo with the giant or she pinned her to the giant square.
- 3:48:07[UNKNOWN]: So, editor, I guess we're giant spring 1116.
- 3:48:09[UNKNOWN]: Wow.
- 3:48:09[UNKNOWN]: This is so right.
- 3:48:10[UNKNOWN]: I should-
- 3:48:11[UNKNOWN]: That's what it says.
- 3:48:12[UNKNOWN]: Oh, pinter with the giant swan.
- 3:48:13[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:48:14[UNKNOWN]: I guess you did a giant swan and then pender.
- 3:48:16[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:48:18[UNKNOWN]: Uh, you can come to Fuku, Raku, Shino, Shizuki, and Ujita Kami beat Miriyama Shita, Sakura, Tori, Haruka, Shiro, and Shiken Anase.
- 3:48:27[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Kami, Kami, you beat Anase with the famous Seren 1013.
- 3:48:31[UNKNOWN]: And then Mizuki, Ponghar, Juku, and Mahiru, Kiryu beat Yuki, Rai, Mizu, Ashida, and
- 3:48:41[UNKNOWN]: in an 835.
- 3:48:42[UNKNOWN]: Our first quarter final was chemoari, beating Alice's endo with the, uh, with the sunflower tempest in 1035.
- 3:48:52[UNKNOWN]: This was one of those matches.
- 3:48:53[UNKNOWN]: There's a lot of matches, probably it's like Starman Toker Joe.
- 3:48:56[UNKNOWN]: She where I have a lot of wrestlers, I'm very, I have a call like I'm stands out if you want to use that term.
- 3:49:01[UNKNOWN]: It's just very, very, very, very, very fond of you're going to get these matches where you have two of your absolute favorites against each other in a high stakes match.
- 3:49:07[UNKNOWN]: You're like,
- 3:49:09[UNKNOWN]: What do I do here?
- 3:49:10[UNKNOWN]: I love both these girls.
- 3:49:11[UNKNOWN]: I have no idea who I'm supposed to root for here.
- 3:49:14[UNKNOWN]: Ultimately, I went with, I just kind of was like, I just moved for either one that was going to be like, oh, I'll be happy to know about her wins and pretty much what happened.
- 3:49:23[UNKNOWN]: I was like, you know what, good for good for good for him or she needs this win more than anybody to be honest.
- 3:49:29[UNKNOWN]: Like, she needs a run like this to really establish her at a higher level, not just like a comedy wrestler uses her braids' weapons.
- 3:49:36[UNKNOWN]: and she deserves it because she's fucking great and she's been great for a long time now and I'm glad to finally push her.
- 3:49:42[UNKNOWN]: Like Alex, you even had a lot after the match where she was like I didn't see the girl who just hits people with their raids or something like that.
- 3:49:50[UNKNOWN]: I saw a great powerhouse of a wrestler.
- 3:49:53[UNKNOWN]: So that was a great, great line.
- 3:49:54[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Alex who was all over her air hair to start.
- 3:49:58[UNKNOWN]: So when he more I started whipping her I felt well orange for once because if you
- 3:50:02[UNKNOWN]: Hemoari, briefly got caught in the camel clutch, but it was able to make it the ropes to break.
- 3:50:07[UNKNOWN]: And I liked how to work in this deal with, like, Endo was the aggressor, which is not a role she's in super often.
- 3:50:12[UNKNOWN]: But she was good at it here, and hemoari was the underdog, which felt natural for the relative status, like in K-Fay, for sure.
- 3:50:22[UNKNOWN]: Um, there's a very cool spot where Himawari basically rolled through a headlock all the way into a back-to-up suplex, but Endo just kept clubbing her with four arms as we hit the five minute call and then hit a super kick on her, but Himawari was able to suddenly grab her in the front gear team jackhammer thing she does and hit it for a huge upset pin.
- 3:50:42[UNKNOWN]: I used to not see that coming.
- 3:50:44[UNKNOWN]: I think, is this match time correct?
- 3:50:46[UNKNOWN]: I thought this match was way shorter than that.
- 3:50:48[UNKNOWN]: Let me look on.
- 3:50:51[UNKNOWN]: because it felt shorter than five, 10 minutes to me.
- 3:50:54[UNKNOWN]: Oh, they haven't just 10, 35, also.
- 3:50:58[UNKNOWN]: Unless he got it from there and got it wrong, we just took a joke.
- 3:51:01[UNKNOWN]: Gonna check the Tokyo Jokes and I'm like, I feel like this is inception or something, where I'm like, how the fuck was this match actually?
- 3:51:08[UNKNOWN]: I have it in my head, this match was five minutes and this match was actually 10.
- 3:51:12[UNKNOWN]: Like that's, they've drive me crazy.
- 3:51:14[UNKNOWN]: Okay, 13 Tokyo Jokes, he prints us cup,
- 3:51:17[UNKNOWN]: Well, you're doing that, I'll give my comments on the math.
- 3:51:20[UNKNOWN]: I haven't read it.
- 3:51:21[UNKNOWN]: No, they have a 1035 too.
- 3:51:23[UNKNOWN]: OK, I guess it was inception.
- 3:51:24[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, really good match, three and three quarters.
- 3:51:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:51:27[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I went three and a half.
- 3:51:29[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was a very, very good match.
- 3:51:31[UNKNOWN]: Yes, R.S.
- 3:51:33[UNKNOWN]: dominating it.
- 3:51:35[UNKNOWN]: I also noted this is a very different role for her, but she is the sympa in this match.
- 3:51:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:51:40[UNKNOWN]: And hemoari is just so good working underneath
- 3:51:47[UNKNOWN]: um... like you were saying she is a very very good power wrestler um... so happy how do you think you didn't quite have the frame that would make jump out you was like power wrestler but she makes it work she i i think it's noticeable that she's muscular but it's easy to kind of under on a clothing to look at yeah because of all the frills yeah yeah it's not like me you were me it was basically wearing a straw man's costume
- 3:52:15[UNKNOWN]: but what if a straw man was a princess?
- 3:52:19[UNKNOWN]: The jackhammer slay in that she does, that looks so awesome.
- 3:52:25[UNKNOWN]: It makes complete sense as like an instant killer move.
- 3:52:29[UNKNOWN]: So while it was kind of a sudden win that felt against the flow of the match, I didn't mind it at all.
- 3:52:35[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I'm excited for hemoari in the semi-finals.
- 3:52:39[UNKNOWN]: It also feels like she's being set up here
- 3:52:45[UNKNOWN]: Right, because she'd be two former challenges for the title and a former champion and I believe she's paired up against, well, we'll talk about it later.
- 3:53:00[UNKNOWN]: The next match in the next order final was Toga, beating Yuki Ina with the modified muffler hold in 1032.
- 3:53:05[UNKNOWN]: I know that's just good, you know, Togi did some hard forms to Ina's test to start and then it's a equally hard running back elbows against the ropes, but I know took over with two big shoulder blocks.
- 3:53:17[UNKNOWN]: Togi was able to take back over if he hit the five minute call, but I know that they came back with their hairlock DDT, and she hit these cool, like short shoulder blocks while holding onto her arm.
- 3:53:27[UNKNOWN]: But Toga came back with a huge form shot that rocked her just for the 10-minute call and she got I know this stretch muffler and I don't quickly tap down, but so it was like a weird little tap actually where it wasn't quite obvious to me at first for exactly tapping but whatever.
- 3:53:40[UNKNOWN]: Good match, nice little stocky girl battle, three and a half stars.
- 3:53:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, um, stretch muffler looks a little weird for Toga because I'm used to S okay doing it and she's so much shorter than the rest of the roster.
- 3:53:55[UNKNOWN]: that it looks kind of really effective.
- 3:53:58[UNKNOWN]: Here it just looked a little odd because they're both equally large women.
- 3:54:02[UNKNOWN]: Comments about that aside.
- 3:54:04[UNKNOWN]: I thought this was a pretty fun power girls battle, right?
- 3:54:08[UNKNOWN]: They're both like strong wrestlers who like to club and do big moves.
- 3:54:13[UNKNOWN]: And while I was sad that my favorite TGPW wrestler
- 3:54:17[UNKNOWN]: was defeated.
- 3:54:18[UNKNOWN]: Um, Toga is a favorite.
- 3:54:21[UNKNOWN]: I didn't know.
- 3:54:21[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:54:22[UNKNOWN]: I know.
- 3:54:22[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:54:22[UNKNOWN]: 100%.
- 3:54:23[UNKNOWN]: No.
- 3:54:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:54:25[UNKNOWN]: She, I would not say she's the best wrestler.
- 3:54:26[UNKNOWN]: She's my favorite.
- 3:54:27[UNKNOWN]: Those are two different things.
- 3:54:29[UNKNOWN]: I kind of think who do I think you're was your favorite.
- 3:54:30[UNKNOWN]: I would, I could maybe me you.
- 3:54:33[UNKNOWN]: I do love me you, but no, not my favorite.
- 3:54:36[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 3:54:37[UNKNOWN]: Do you know who my favorite is?
- 3:54:38[UNKNOWN]: Your favorite?
- 3:54:39[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Susan May.
- 3:54:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:54:41[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
- 3:54:41[UNKNOWN]: That's correct.
- 3:54:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm very, I'm very shy about it.
- 3:54:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and I don't offer that information ever.
- 3:54:50[UNKNOWN]: I don't have a giant like fan of her face in my room.
- 3:54:55[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, pretty good.
- 3:54:57[UNKNOWN]: Um, more excited about the results in the match.
- 3:55:00[UNKNOWN]: I'll put it that way.
- 3:55:01[UNKNOWN]: Three and a half.
- 3:55:03[UNKNOWN]: Then we had Ricka Tetsuma meeting Hyper-Misa with the White Dragon Sleeper in 1349.
- 3:55:09[UNKNOWN]: So, Ricka, it was funny when she backed up Misa into the corner, and it was all like, look guys, it given her a clean break, I'm not a heal, and then all of a sudden, re-stop and started choker to her both hands.
- 3:55:19[UNKNOWN]: That was fucking funny.
- 3:55:21[UNKNOWN]: Then she started choker on her boot as well.
- 3:55:22[UNKNOWN]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 3:55:23[UNKNOWN]: It's a Greco Roman throat hold.
- 3:55:25[UNKNOWN]: Come on, Ricka, Ricka is a face.
- 3:55:27[UNKNOWN]: We've been over this.
- 3:55:30[UNKNOWN]: We sell, went to work on Rico's arm for a bit, first on the mat, and then by snapping it over the ropes.
- 3:55:38[UNKNOWN]: Rico is eventually able to get the dragon's sleep wrong after a long struggle.
- 3:55:42[UNKNOWN]: But we sell, of course, to use the cold sprayer face, let it go.
- 3:55:45[UNKNOWN]: Then, followed up with a pretty nice witchyac or knee attack, and Rico gets the dragon's sleeper for the tap out.
- 3:55:52[UNKNOWN]: Pretty good match.
- 3:55:53[UNKNOWN]: It's not quite as good as the first two, so I was like three and a quarter.
- 3:55:56[UNKNOWN]: I was very happy.
- 3:55:57[UNKNOWN]: I get another John Fave here where we could tattoo me moving on to some of it.
- 3:56:00[UNKNOWN]: The semi-finals is like three John Faves.
- 3:56:03[UNKNOWN]: It was like, I guess four else for anybody who wanted to make a bet they didn't know.
- 3:56:06[UNKNOWN]: And then totally hurt a little like two.
- 3:56:07[UNKNOWN]: So it's like, this is kind of my bracket.
- 3:56:09[UNKNOWN]: The semi-finals though.
- 3:56:11[UNKNOWN]: I
- 3:56:14[UNKNOWN]: loved this match actually.
- 3:56:16[UNKNOWN]: I went back before watching this and watched basically the entire second round and loved hypermissiles previous match where she won over I think it was me, right?
- 3:56:32[UNKNOWN]: Hang on.
- 3:56:33[UNKNOWN]: Wait, that's not.
- 3:56:38[UNKNOWN]: Oh, God, I'm being very Yeah, she beat me.
- 3:56:42[UNKNOWN]: Why should she tell me maybe?
- 3:56:43[UNKNOWN]: No, not me.
- 3:56:44[UNKNOWN]: I don't actually know where she beat now.
- 3:56:49[UNKNOWN]: It's escaping my brain, too.
- 3:56:52[UNKNOWN]: Tonight.
- 3:56:56[UNKNOWN]: No, Reca beat me you.
- 3:56:58[UNKNOWN]: It was musicy that hypermissile beat.
- 3:57:01[UNKNOWN]: That was a match that
- 3:57:07[UNKNOWN]: Cageman says it went 13 minutes.
- 3:57:08[UNKNOWN]: It's a felt longer than that, but in a good way, where it felt like they kind of didn't epic that started silly.
- 3:57:14[UNKNOWN]: But as hypermissile got more and more serious, it became a convincing win.
- 3:57:22[UNKNOWN]: And there's a similar dynamic here, where Rika is getting pommi to just dig deeper and deeper, including into some of her old moves when she was the healmissile.
- 3:57:37[UNKNOWN]: And ultimately, it wasn't enough for her, but it made for a pretty entertaining match.
- 3:57:42[UNKNOWN]: So I kind of loved it.
- 3:57:45[UNKNOWN]: I promise I wouldn't she serious.
- 3:57:46[UNKNOWN]: She can hang with the best of the TJPW roster.
- 3:57:50[UNKNOWN]: She's very, very good.
- 3:57:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I guess much as you did, but I thought it was pretty good.
- 3:57:58[UNKNOWN]: uh... made a bet sushi bag and she'll go back and get them out with the ring a bell and thirteen forty nine why don't i mention fucking loved uh... she'll go hit this pretty sick double arm det day just to the five minute call maybe doubly sick because she kind of had it in like a double in her neck black or something and i wasn't expecting her to suddenly snap down with the detainable so good when she did that way
- 3:58:21[UNKNOWN]: Susan may hit this cool, Rhanna from the floor.
- 3:58:24[UNKNOWN]: Well, she basically interrupted Choco's dive in mid-air and just sent her out there on her own terms instead.
- 3:58:28[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if they've ever seen that.
- 3:58:31[UNKNOWN]: Oh, it's such a cool character.
- 3:58:32[UNKNOWN]: There's so much of this match where I'm like, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that.
- 3:58:35[UNKNOWN]: That's crazy.
- 3:58:36[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, these are such creative wrestlers.
- 3:58:39[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:58:40[UNKNOWN]: Especially nowadays, we're like so much wrestling because that could be the same.
- 3:58:43[UNKNOWN]: There's one of the better things that are totally Jewish in general.
- 3:58:45[UNKNOWN]: It's fucking different from everything else.
- 3:58:47[UNKNOWN]: That's right.
- 3:58:49[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, she followed up with her own sling shot dive.
- 3:58:52[UNKNOWN]: And she's such a cool high flyer, Susan Mays.
- 3:58:54[UNKNOWN]: She's so good.
- 3:58:55[UNKNOWN]: She effortlessly avoided the six from nine from Shoko, then immediately springboarded down from there and did something or other.
- 3:59:01[UNKNOWN]: She was very, very cool.
- 3:59:03[UNKNOWN]: Just everything she does looks so effortless.
- 3:59:05[UNKNOWN]: They started trading backslides back and forth.
- 3:59:07[UNKNOWN]: I wanna remember to vote her for a best high flyer that in the year from Server Awards.
- 3:59:10[UNKNOWN]: I gotta remember to do that.
- 3:59:12[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the trains, they started training backslides back and forth.
- 3:59:15[UNKNOWN]: Shoko got the last one for a very close near fall.
- 3:59:18[UNKNOWN]: Had my heart and my chest here rooting for shoes and me.
- 3:59:21[UNKNOWN]: I think I watched the show live, so I definitely wasn't.
- 3:59:23[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, definitely wasn't sworn.
- 3:59:24[UNKNOWN]: I think I watched it live.
- 3:59:26[UNKNOWN]: Um, Shoko tried for her role in Northern Lights two flexes, but Susan made countered the second one, where then Shoko countered right back onto Matt and her stretch holes, and this map, everything that's matched her just so quick and so smooth.
- 3:59:40[UNKNOWN]: Shoko got her a stretch back on, but Susan made countered it brilliantly into her own head through his arm lock.
- 3:59:45[UNKNOWN]: Susan, Shoko escaped.
- 3:59:47[UNKNOWN]: Shoko hit another double arm DET just for the 15 minute call.
- 3:59:54[UNKNOWN]: uh, Susan made cut, she'll go off the top rope, the draft kick, and then bulldogged your off it, uh, before hitting the ring up out for the pet.
- 4:00:01[UNKNOWN]: Actually, now he might have this time wrong, because I just noticed that you see exactly the same time as the last match.
- 4:00:06[UNKNOWN]: I could have sworn I did right now.
- 4:00:07[UNKNOWN]: Uh, uh, yeah, this one's 1658.
- 4:00:14[UNKNOWN]: So I did, I caught you, Jamie, under my identity.
- 4:00:17[UNKNOWN]: You did have one wrong, but I knew I thought it was, I did right 15, but I called for a reason.
- 4:00:22[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's usually a big cut circle off on the top row with a drop kick and then bulldogs are off a bit for hanging the ring of bell for the pin.
- 4:00:29[UNKNOWN]: This match absolutely fucking world.
- 4:00:32[UNKNOWN]: Four and a quarter stars easily match the night.
- 4:00:35[UNKNOWN]: Just, you know, I, I'd circle not that he was never been like one of my favorites, but she always just has a really good match isn't spouse like this.
- 4:00:41[UNKNOWN]: And Tuesday may literally as my favorite in the promotions.
- 4:00:43[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, very happy.
- 4:00:44[UNKNOWN]: She moved on with some of my fun.
- 4:00:46[UNKNOWN]: I kind of thought she wouldn't be because she's, you know, she's one half of the fuck, I mean, she's an international
- 4:00:52[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I wouldn't even hire than you did.
- 4:00:55[UNKNOWN]: I went four and a half for this one.
- 4:00:57[UNKNOWN]: I can't blame you.
- 4:00:59[UNKNOWN]: It's an incredible match, right?
- 4:01:01[UNKNOWN]: If you pause the match at any point and try and guess what's going to happen next, you're going to guess wrong.
- 4:01:06[UNKNOWN]: They're, they feel like wrestlers who are so familiar with each other.
- 4:01:12[UNKNOWN]: And I can't think of a lot of other singles matches they would have had against each other.
- 4:01:21[UNKNOWN]: but it feels like this was also kind of a fairly rare pair for the LGBTQPW.
- 4:01:29[UNKNOWN]: Why?
- 4:01:29[UNKNOWN]: 8.81, wow, so they're closer to you.
- 4:01:32[UNKNOWN]: I never really guessed that.
- 4:01:34[UNKNOWN]: The inmates have a rare good take by the image.
- 4:01:37[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, yeah, there was especially a lot of intricate work in and around the ropes.
- 4:01:44[UNKNOWN]: You were saying you wanted to foot for Susan May as a high-flier wrestler, and I was thinking, that's interesting, because I don't really
- 4:01:52[UNKNOWN]: because she doesn't get a lot of height, but she does use the ropes really well.
- 4:01:57[UNKNOWN]: Or that, yeah, I don't think High Fire means if they take giant dives.
- 4:02:00[UNKNOWN]: If you just do a bunch of springboards, you move really quickly and you do that.
- 4:02:04[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I don't mean to, I don't mean to dispute the label.
- 4:02:09[UNKNOWN]: It's more like when you think of a high flyer, you think of a very particular type, right?
- 4:02:15[UNKNOWN]: And I'm just saying,
- 4:02:22[UNKNOWN]: It could have gone that way because she has light enough and small enough, but instead she's fairly grounded and instead just uses the ropes as another weapon in a way that's fun to watch.
- 4:02:34[UNKNOWN]: It feels like in some way her domain, like her domain and the wrestling match is just a little bit bigger than everybody else's because she's so good around the ropes.
- 4:02:46[UNKNOWN]: And it's true for Shoko as well.
- 4:02:48[UNKNOWN]: She is one of the very few wrestlers who can make a 619 look like a shoot move, you know, that that move is so ridiculous and yet she does it so quick and smooth.
- 4:02:59[UNKNOWN]: God, this was just a terrific match.
- 4:03:01[UNKNOWN]: I adored it.
- 4:03:02[UNKNOWN]: My second favorite match of the week.
- 4:03:05[UNKNOWN]: If it wasn't for like Suji and Bolton have in a once in a lifetime match, this would easily have taken the crown for the week.
- 4:03:13[UNKNOWN]: So while you're talking and looked up the answer to your question, they've had three times, but it's been a while and a bit more than three years.
- 4:03:19[UNKNOWN]: Wow.
- 4:03:19[UNKNOWN]: So February 24th, 2020, and something called Sage O'Haw, I don't know if the buildings were running more, Shoko Beats use them in, and I'm just a regular match that I guess that would have been very, that would have been very early into the race career.
- 4:03:32[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
- 4:03:32[UNKNOWN]: If you start about 2019, right?
- 4:03:35[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 4:03:35[UNKNOWN]: Same time as more, right?
- 4:03:37[UNKNOWN]: match two princess of the decade tournament second round.
- 4:03:41[UNKNOWN]: Shoko Nakajima beat her in three minutes and 12 seconds.
- 4:03:46[UNKNOWN]: That was January 30th, 2023.
- 4:03:49[UNKNOWN]: And then later that year, July 2023, Shoko beat her in the first round of the tournament in this very building.
- 4:03:56[UNKNOWN]: So they had her beat Shoko in the same building she'll have made her three years ago.
- 4:03:59[UNKNOWN]: That's pretty fucking cool, actually.
- 4:04:01[UNKNOWN]: But they do run KFC Hall a lot, so might not have been intentional.
- 4:04:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but it's still cool.
- 4:04:07[UNKNOWN]: It is.
- 4:04:08[UNKNOWN]: So the semi-final shell will be next week before we come back on this podcast.
- 4:04:13[UNKNOWN]: It will be May 16 or Sunday May 16.
- 4:04:15[UNKNOWN]: Suddenly August 16th from the Osaka 176 box venue.
- 4:04:20[UNKNOWN]: It is another, it's a 12 o'clock star.
- 4:04:22[UNKNOWN]: It's like 11 PM Eastern and we'll be able to watch that.
- 4:04:26[UNKNOWN]: The whole card pretty cool actually, so the two rookies are in there in singles matches, Tika and Annas Avers is Mowal Sato, and Mazuki faces Shionkanzaki, but then you get a match with Mir Yamashita, Sakura Atori, and Rinkanatsu against Alice Uendo, Wakana Rihara, and Howlukazu Shiro.
- 4:04:44[UNKNOWN]: That sounds pretty cool for a six woman tag.
- 4:04:46[UNKNOWN]: You get the up-up girls' TV cup, which is pretty rare.
- 4:04:51[UNKNOWN]: So it's me your Watanabe, Raku, Shino Shizuki, and I know this is all that translated wrong, what the fuck's the other one's name?
- 4:05:01[UNKNOWN]: It's who does it call me?
- 4:05:02[UNKNOWN]: It's like, it says she's you to call me.
- 4:05:04[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, what does she do?
- 4:05:05[UNKNOWN]: The fuck?
- 4:05:06[UNKNOWN]: Yes, me, my, me, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
- 4:05:30[UNKNOWN]: And in the semi-finals, Rikate Tetsuo Miverse is Toga, and Susu Miverse is Himawari.
- 4:05:36[UNKNOWN]: Another, they go straight from one heart-breaking match for me to another one, but I can't, I can't really get Susu Mie Himawari.
- 4:05:41[UNKNOWN]: I'm sorry, I need to get Susu Mie here.
- 4:05:43[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, I think the other reason why Himawari is going to get an international princess challenge is because she's speaking Susu Mie.
- 4:05:52[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:05:53[UNKNOWN]: So, Himawari wins and loses the Rikate Tetsuo Mie in the final that we are predicting.
- 4:05:57[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 4:05:58[UNKNOWN]: That's why I think too.
- 4:06:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, which feels weird.
- 4:06:02[UNKNOWN]: But man, recoverses, you can ride to that's a good match.
- 4:06:08[UNKNOWN]: I like that a lot.
- 4:06:11[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, I agree.
- 4:06:13[UNKNOWN]: All right, let's talk a little Noah.
- 4:06:15[UNKNOWN]: I do mean a little because I watched two matches from these two shows.
- 4:06:18[UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to get the whole show's from Noah's.
- 4:06:22[UNKNOWN]: Do you want to do you I mean there is also you can talk about rematch.
- 4:06:24[UNKNOWN]: Why not sure?
- 4:06:25[UNKNOWN]: All right No legacy rise legacy rise 2026 the first set of cork and haul 1000 five eighty nine.
- 4:06:34[UNKNOWN]: I can't remember the last With a flock that they put almost 600 people in cork and haul they start fucking town on the people to bring it lap babies
- 4:06:41[UNKNOWN]: did, uh, I guess they opened up the, uh, the rafters on the side and just, well, it's not happening, but you, but that's even then use it on get that many in, they usually can see like 15, 15 or something.
- 4:06:54[UNKNOWN]: If here's the thing, it also sounded like it.
- 4:06:57[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, I did.
- 4:06:58[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they were, they were half of this show.
- 4:07:00[UNKNOWN]: They were, this is the hottest across been for night dosence in forever, too.
- 4:07:04[UNKNOWN]: So you can tell all the night don't have to come out for that.
- 4:07:06[UNKNOWN]: So seem to have the time to feel like it's the hottest I've seen a Noah show
- 4:07:12[UNKNOWN]: That is fair.
- 4:07:13[UNKNOWN]: I don't think it's just, I don't think it's just nighto either because they were into just about everything.
- 4:07:18[UNKNOWN]: Let me read off some matches.
- 4:07:19[UNKNOWN]: I did not watch.
- 4:07:20[UNKNOWN]: But how are you on a?
- 4:07:21[UNKNOWN]: It's usually kept out again.
- 4:07:22[UNKNOWN]: He wrote me and how do you know, Hara beat Dragon Bay in Alejandro, Shudji Kondo, and Katsumi in Hara.
- 4:07:29[UNKNOWN]: It was kept out again depending in Hara in seventh or seventh or eighth.
- 4:07:33[UNKNOWN]: Anything I'll note with this one?
- 4:07:34[UNKNOWN]: Nope.
- 4:07:36[UNKNOWN]: Okay, a four-way tag match, Bushy and Rios say super crazy in black ones are Ray.
- 4:07:43[UNKNOWN]: They were not involved in the fall and said, kid, like those number one and like those number two, beat Udo Kori Nagi and Midori Takahashi.
- 4:07:50[UNKNOWN]: It was like those one, hitting a Takahashi in six minutes and one second at the swan town bug.
- 4:07:55[UNKNOWN]: I ain't think I've known in this match.
- 4:07:56[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, I skipped straight to the 200 batches.
- 4:07:59[UNKNOWN]: So, okay, if you want to be maxed out of her niche.
- 4:08:03[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, okay, we had a double count out in Aida and Daichi Oshima against Kai Fujiwara and Jumasuoka.
- 4:08:11[UNKNOWN]: All right, 200 match, so what would the rules in this fucking deck?
- 4:08:14[UNKNOWN]: So the rules are that it is 200 seconds long.
- 4:08:20[UNKNOWN]: There is a pit so you can win by pin by KO by count out, but the count out is only for five seconds That doesn't end up mattering And yeah, it's a three-company It's still a three-company Yes, it is extremely obvious.
- 4:08:39[UNKNOWN]: They need to not do that by the end of this tournament.
- 4:08:41[UNKNOWN]: This was a weird tournament
- 4:08:44[UNKNOWN]: So the first round of this stupid tournament, hi I have to be massacred in me.
- 4:08:48[UNKNOWN]: I don't, 133 seconds by ring out.
- 4:08:51[UNKNOWN]: Yep, so five second count, right?
- 4:08:53[UNKNOWN]: So what a hiata does is win Masa and a hiata go out to Brawl and throw each other across the fences.
- 4:09:04[UNKNOWN]: When the count starts, Masa tries to get back in but hiata blocks him by doing actually this pretty cool
- 4:09:14[UNKNOWN]: spin around the bars on the corners of the ring, and kicking him back out just as the count finishes.
- 4:09:20[UNKNOWN]: It was actually a pretty clever and like cool look for high out to get the win over a much bigger wrestler.
- 4:09:28[UNKNOWN]: So I went through in a quarter on it.
- 4:09:29[UNKNOWN]: I thought, oh, this is actually off to a pretty good start.
- 4:09:32[UNKNOWN]: Because in this is something where I think the 200 division may actually be beneficial to know if they want to utilize it like this.
- 4:09:41[UNKNOWN]: it is nice to watch a normal match where there is just no downtime, no stretching in out, no trying to make it long.
- 4:09:48[UNKNOWN]: You just have to get your shit in as quick as possible.
- 4:09:51[UNKNOWN]: But okay, here's a part of my habit this out.
- 4:09:53[UNKNOWN]: If you, the five camp ring out role, if you, so if they go to a draw, they just nothing happens, right?
- 4:09:59[UNKNOWN]: If you want to get back.
- 4:10:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they're both eliminated.
- 4:10:02[UNKNOWN]: Okay, why the fuck would eat a wrestler, but especially once these are 10 times the champion, why do they ever go out of the ring?
- 4:10:11[UNKNOWN]: If you stay in the ring, if you stay in the ring, all you do is last one or two seconds to retain your title.
- 4:10:17[UNKNOWN]: And the guy has told us to get, it would make more sense if you had to do a two count for the pen, because then the ring would be just a risky as outside the ring.
- 4:10:24[UNKNOWN]: But now in the ring, you still need to three count to win, but outside the ring is to fucking five counts.
- 4:10:29[UNKNOWN]: So no one should ever leave the ring on of these matches.
- 4:10:32[UNKNOWN]: There's no reason to do this.
- 4:10:34[UNKNOWN]: All you're doing is risking for no reason.
- 4:10:36[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:10:36[UNKNOWN]: There's clearly a meta-reason theory of how do we have a junior beat?
- 4:10:40[UNKNOWN]: one of our biggest heavyweights, this was a fine answer to that problem, but I'm 100% with you.
- 4:10:48[UNKNOWN]: The other thing that bothers me about the three counts, we're talking about it now, if you're beating somebody in less than three minutes in a match, then why shouldn't you always beat them and pin them with a three count in less than three minutes?
- 4:11:04[UNKNOWN]: It would be so much easier
- 4:11:07[UNKNOWN]: And on the dignity of the wrestlers, if it was like, oh, it was only a two count.
- 4:11:11[UNKNOWN]: So it's not the same.
- 4:11:14[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:11:14[UNKNOWN]: It would add so much better drama too.
- 4:11:16[UNKNOWN]: Every time I've seen DDT or TJPW have matches in two counts, they're always really exciting.
- 4:11:22[UNKNOWN]: It mixes things up in a good way.
- 4:11:24[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I love the two count rolls.
- 4:11:26[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's the best thing about the late.
- 4:11:28[UNKNOWN]: I used to watch it.
- 4:11:29[UNKNOWN]: So Tepsie Endo and the other first round match here be on my coup set 155 seconds for the herkirana got a blow through these fast buddy because it's just never the time.
- 4:11:38[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, come here.
- 4:11:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm not going to spend more time on this.
- 4:11:43[UNKNOWN]: This was a fine.
- 4:11:45[UNKNOWN]: They just did some moves and endo one.
- 4:11:48[UNKNOWN]: He's the heavyweight.
- 4:11:49[UNKNOWN]: What do you want?
- 4:11:51[UNKNOWN]: Azawa Takashi Sugara and Tabasuke beat Manavosoya you can you know a yo hey and your horse come back match Tabasuke pen have been ten minutes and three seconds.
- 4:11:59[UNKNOWN]: How old yo hey look?
- 4:12:01[UNKNOWN]: Yo hey looked pretty good and it was very cute scene him with Jonetsu.
- 4:12:07[UNKNOWN]: Because he didn't seem like a hundred percent on board or like he understood what the stick was.
- 4:12:15[UNKNOWN]: but he also felt like he was kind of game for what they do.
- 4:12:21[UNKNOWN]: In terms of health, he looked normal, he looked like good old Yohei.
- 4:12:26[UNKNOWN]: I'm happy to see him back for what it's worth.
- 4:12:29[UNKNOWN]: Then we had two straight draws in the stupid tournament.
- 4:12:31[UNKNOWN]: Can they always have a little and Kite overs as Yocheki and Amara both went to 200 second draws.
- 4:12:36[UNKNOWN]: It's good.
- 4:12:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, both of these matches are roughly the same.
- 4:12:40[UNKNOWN]: It's two guys applying moves to each other
- 4:12:45[UNKNOWN]: It's entertaining enough, but every enforcers, they need like two count rules, two count pin rules.
- 4:12:52[UNKNOWN]: They maybe need to do something about tiebreakers too, because what are they gonna do when a guy is defending the belt?
- 4:12:58[UNKNOWN]: Like do they vacate the belt if they tie?
- 4:13:00[UNKNOWN]: What the heck?
- 4:13:02[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 4:13:02[UNKNOWN]: Good question.
- 4:13:04[UNKNOWN]: Then we have the first, the only two matches I watched, which was the GHC national title.
- 4:13:09[UNKNOWN]: Now, I'll meet you, Mara Fuji, defeated Kenta in 245, the perfect Nefloc, Necloc, to make us forth the fence.
- 4:13:16[UNKNOWN]: So, started with some slow-paced mat wrestling, then Kenta started laying into a fruity with a signature middle kicks.
- 4:13:24[UNKNOWN]: He got into the hard soccer ball kick to the back,
- 4:13:27[UNKNOWN]: And this was, you know, this fine, just very slow paced, um, they totally Bosch has been in DTO the corner, which instead turned it like a weird face rubber bare Fuji over the top rope, I can't, uh, that look pretty bad.
- 4:13:37[UNKNOWN]: That was a little for the 10 minute call.
- 4:13:39[UNKNOWN]: Um, it picked up a bit, handing into the 15 minute call.
- 4:13:43[UNKNOWN]: It's a more nice striking from canter, but then they just kind of die off again, um, you know, I, I don't know, like just didn't really do much anything.
- 4:13:52[UNKNOWN]: I was shocked
- 4:13:55[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, rare Fuji just kind of like got the G-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-
- 4:14:20[UNKNOWN]: I don't remember the match from the previous year, but I think it last year, I mean, but I feel like I hadn't even done it in this.
- 4:14:25[UNKNOWN]: I was like two stars on this.
- 4:14:27[UNKNOWN]: I mean, the cage, the cages, demons are at 6.72, which implies like three in a quarter, or in like three in a quarter, and three in a half, I just out of that.
- 4:14:35[UNKNOWN]: I just thought it was bad.
- 4:14:35[UNKNOWN]: Wow.
- 4:14:36[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 4:14:37[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I am closer to the cage match demons here.
- 4:14:40[UNKNOWN]: I went for flat.
- 4:14:42[UNKNOWN]: Because for me, what this match felt like was an increasingly exhausted,
- 4:14:50[UNKNOWN]: just weathering the storm and he looks so beaten down and you think about just how old this guy is and how not that long ago.
- 4:14:58[UNKNOWN]: He was barely moving or barely able to put on even a competent match.
- 4:15:05[UNKNOWN]: Here if they just they made it work because I don't know it's it's watching him get beat up but but continue to work through it and ultimately I I found the win
- 4:15:20[UNKNOWN]: like kind of satisfying enough.
- 4:15:22[UNKNOWN]: Um, I didn't think the, hold was odd, but I thought it was novel.
- 4:15:27[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was Marifuji like debuting a new submissioner, but I couldn't quite tell English commenter.
- 4:15:33[UNKNOWN]: It wasn't that helpful there.
- 4:15:35[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know either.
- 4:15:37[UNKNOWN]: But the match we do want to talk about.
- 4:15:39[UNKNOWN]: But I heard the sense of you.
- 4:15:41[UNKNOWN]: When I heard the sense of you night though, I had an incredible match, you know, in the main of the show, I was like, you gotta be kidding me.
- 4:15:47[UNKNOWN]: Tetsuya Naito, but Shane Hayes in 22, 17th of the dusty dough, the champion fails his fourth defense and they don't become his 50th first champion.
- 4:15:55[UNKNOWN]: I was far on the result and I didn't even matter because I was so happy watching this match.
- 4:15:59[UNKNOWN]: Now, the Nigel fans, like I said earlier, can't have more force than I've ever seen them in so long, just chanting for like pretty much as loudly as they were all the way back on January 1st, the boot of Congress.
- 4:16:08[UNKNOWN]: It felt like ever since then, they have not been that in damn.
- 4:16:10[UNKNOWN]: They haven't been as many Nigel fans there.
- 4:16:12[UNKNOWN]: They were out here for this.
- 4:16:14[UNKNOWN]: Um, hasted this punch of the outside and, you know, just kind of sling shut up and over to standing position, also look like he barely touched him, that might have been the only spot the entire match that didn't look great.
- 4:16:26[UNKNOWN]: Um, NATO hits this great looking spinning DDT using the elevated side of the front bleachers to kick off of it.
- 4:16:32[UNKNOWN]: Uh, they got back in the ring.
- 4:16:34[UNKNOWN]: We got a spot that was for a former ready on Twitter, but it was spectacular.
- 4:16:38[UNKNOWN]: And I had to wait for his top for Ovalana, only for Hayes to reverse it into an avalanche power bomb.
- 4:16:43[UNKNOWN]: And I took a fucking sick bump right on his neck just like he used to.
- 4:16:46[UNKNOWN]: Um, there is this.
- 4:16:49[UNKNOWN]: enormous NATO chant to the 15 minute call, but haste hit.
- 4:16:54[UNKNOWN]: I guess like a shining wizard, but it felt like he even jumped up way higher for it or something.
- 4:16:58[UNKNOWN]: But I don't know if that is a shining wizard or he gives a different name.
- 4:17:01[UNKNOWN]: Back out of near fall, NATO carried another haste power bomb of the Rana.
- 4:17:06[UNKNOWN]: Hit the clip.
- 4:17:06[UNKNOWN]: This is where I thought people were like, yeah, so okay, he's yes, he's carried them.
- 4:17:10[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, he's been a lot to make these Destiny knows and everything land smoothing, but night don't was just moving smoother.
- 4:17:15[UNKNOWN]: There he has in Fucking five years.
- 4:17:19[UNKNOWN]: There's nothing that he's really done to have anything to do with this fucking kick.
- 4:17:22[UNKNOWN]: He's been hit that rolling kick that he always does That lately has looked incredibly sad.
- 4:17:27[UNKNOWN]: He had his best version of it in probably five fucking years
- 4:17:30[UNKNOWN]: So he hits the rolling kick.
- 4:17:32[UNKNOWN]: He hits an engine, Gary, back to back, both were perfect.
- 4:17:36[UNKNOWN]: He did that flip DDT thing out of the corner of the used to look horrible, even during his prime.
- 4:17:39[UNKNOWN]: And it looked deep decent.
- 4:17:41[UNKNOWN]: When NATO tries to run against, you know, he's countin' with a short youkin.
- 4:17:45[UNKNOWN]: That was cool.
- 4:17:46[UNKNOWN]: I love the yell sure you can do.
- 4:17:49[UNKNOWN]: Then he does his high speed back job.
- 4:17:50[UNKNOWN]: Suplex for a two count.
- 4:17:52[UNKNOWN]: But Nigel came back at the desk, you know, pinting and he'd be catered with, he's carried it by standing straight up and powering the Nigel out of it into suplex position, but Nigel countered that with the desk, you know, out of nowhere, that looked awesome, looked fucking great, the crowd was on his other shit.
- 4:18:05[UNKNOWN]: Nigel goes for the wind-up desk, you know, he's kind of that to the bomb valley desk, but he couldn't be, couldn't fall up because both guys were down.
- 4:18:12[UNKNOWN]: And again, usually the counter desk, those are the ones he has, but one of the possessions being carried, the ones that end up being blown.
- 4:18:17[UNKNOWN]: And here they hit it flawlessly.
- 4:18:19[UNKNOWN]: and the crowd starts at the Norris Nightdochian here.
- 4:18:21[UNKNOWN]: Hayes hits his huge standing Larry after skipping another Deaths you know attempt.
- 4:18:25[UNKNOWN]: That led to a two count as we got the 20 minute call.
- 4:18:28[UNKNOWN]: Nightdoch fucking takes a sleeper, suplex right on his head as we got another two count.
- 4:18:33[UNKNOWN]: And Hayes went for another Bomballi Death.
- 4:18:35[UNKNOWN]: Uh, NATO countered into a perfect poison runer from there.
- 4:18:38[UNKNOWN]: Haste no sold it, stood up, went for it again, but NATO countered that and turned the desk, you know, then hit the running desk, you know, but Haste kicked out and finally NATO hit another real desk, you know, which Haste did take this amazing spinning bump for it, took the Osprey bump in the G1 final, and that got the pen and the title for to see a nice out.
- 4:18:57[UNKNOWN]: Uh, incredible match.
- 4:18:59[UNKNOWN]: Again, I don't want to hear some of you saying that he's carried him.
- 4:19:03[UNKNOWN]: Yes, he's carried him, but I guarantee you, if I took a fucking poll of fucking wrestling Twitter people and fucking other podcasters and said, do you believe that Tetsu United was even capable of being carried to a match that's currently sitting at 8.76 on cage match for 87 votes?
- 4:19:21[UNKNOWN]: Do you believe that's capable of happening anymore in 2026?
- 4:19:24[UNKNOWN]: Everyone is saying no, probably.
- 4:19:27[UNKNOWN]: Like people talk about this man, like he was fucking a leper or something.
- 4:19:31[UNKNOWN]: Like, yes, he's looked rough, but in the last flash last month with Kaito that I went three and a half on, I said, I said, NATO looks a little better.
- 4:19:39[UNKNOWN]: He's not falling down anymore.
- 4:19:41[UNKNOWN]: He's not fucking blowing every spot anymore.
- 4:19:44[UNKNOWN]: So this was coming.
- 4:19:46[UNKNOWN]: He's lost a bunch of weight.
- 4:19:47[UNKNOWN]: He's moving a little bit better.
- 4:19:49[UNKNOWN]: Like he's never going to be 2017, neither again, obviously.
- 4:19:52[UNKNOWN]: But he is now capable of being carried to an incredible match.
- 4:19:55[UNKNOWN]: And this is incredible match.
- 4:19:56[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to four and a half stars on it.
- 4:19:58[UNKNOWN]: One of my favorite matches in entire week.
- 4:20:00[UNKNOWN]: And again, I am a big of a tepsie of theito fans.
- 4:20:03[UNKNOWN]: Anybody, as everybody listening knows, I do not think this is going to happen again, either.
- 4:20:07[UNKNOWN]: I probably would have voted no in that poll.
- 4:20:09[UNKNOWN]: So, you know what?
- 4:20:11[UNKNOWN]: I don't prove me wrong, too.
- 4:20:12[UNKNOWN]: And as I said on Twitter, the apology is to see a nighto need to be as loud as the disrespect, as far as I'm concerned.
- 4:20:19[UNKNOWN]: So, get those apologies out and start writing them everybody.
- 4:20:23[UNKNOWN]: I've went four and a quarter, really, really enjoyed the
- 4:20:29[UNKNOWN]: people were losing their minds over the smash, especially in the closing stretch.
- 4:20:34[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, almost like night does one of the most over-rested of all time.
- 4:20:37[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, right?
- 4:20:39[UNKNOWN]: What I actually really appreciated about night toe in the smash is how he was moving when it wasn't the closing stretch and he needed to do the big moves.
- 4:20:50[UNKNOWN]: He is going to be slower, and it's just how it's going to be because he's so much older now.
- 4:20:55[UNKNOWN]: And there's so much mileage on him.
- 4:21:00[UNKNOWN]: was a drunken brawler from a Kung Fu movie, where he made looks low, but he's canny, and he's gonna do some unexpected shit that's gonna catch you off guard, which I think fits nighto so well.
- 4:21:18[UNKNOWN]: I think it makes him look a little more legitimate by taking the time to kind of slow down and make sure to do things correctly.
- 4:21:29[UNKNOWN]: but he does also kind of still carry that aura and that sense of legitimacy that was a big part of why he was such a big risk, oh, why he was such a great wrestler.
- 4:21:44[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I think this is a really good start to a nighto GAC ring and I have a good feeling about how his reign is gonna go.
- 4:22:00[UNKNOWN]: know a trilogy that they highlighted when I was last on in Chupro, right?
- 4:22:06[UNKNOWN]: I feel like that's kind of the gameplay in here is to use him to get the shine on Ozawa and Smack Daddy and I guess even Kaito.
- 4:22:17[UNKNOWN]: Um, the kind of someone who wins that would feel almost funny.
- 4:22:21[UNKNOWN]: Like, right?
- 4:22:24[UNKNOWN]: That would be weird.
- 4:22:26[UNKNOWN]: It feels like the goal should be Osawa, but Osawa is, I cooked.
- 4:22:31[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 4:22:33[UNKNOWN]: Anyway.
- 4:22:33[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't really understand what he's doing anymore.
- 4:22:36[UNKNOWN]: He's, you want to talk about Cook's people, like you said.
- 4:22:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no.
- 4:22:39[UNKNOWN]: I think Osal is, and I thought the guy, and again, I thought the guy was great when he first showed up on the scene.
- 4:22:45[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I was higher on the, I was higher on a lot of people, but I just died out.
- 4:22:48[UNKNOWN]: I don't get what he's doing anymore.
- 4:22:49[UNKNOWN]: All right, gotta get through this.
- 4:22:51[UNKNOWN]: Next, that one night, I did not see any of this show.
- 4:22:53[UNKNOWN]: So, I'll, I'll go through it.
- 4:22:55[UNKNOWN]: I'll run through real quick.
- 4:22:56[UNKNOWN]: Actually, let me just, let me just say the, Oh, go.
- 4:22:59[UNKNOWN]: Let me just say the attendance real quick, which was one problem 92,
- 4:23:04[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:23:04[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 4:23:05[UNKNOWN]: It was still really loud there.
- 4:23:08[UNKNOWN]: Um, this crowd loves their Noah Jr's who were the highlight of the show.
- 4:23:12[UNKNOWN]: Um, fucking Kai, would you remember one of the junior titles?
- 4:23:15[UNKNOWN]: He won the junior title.
- 4:23:18[UNKNOWN]: Um, fuck off.
- 4:23:19[UNKNOWN]: He actually looked better than I've ever seen him before.
- 4:23:23[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, and this is just it's terrific for us, but.
- 4:23:27[UNKNOWN]: This is going to sound great like a fucking crazy asshole and every student.
- 4:23:30[UNKNOWN]: He's going to look like a weird asshole the entire time.
- 4:23:32[UNKNOWN]: There's no way around that.
- 4:23:34[UNKNOWN]: Um, but I thought he had a great closing stretch in the match.
- 4:23:41[UNKNOWN]: Um, it does have a lot of interference from Team 2000X.
- 4:23:45[UNKNOWN]: It leads to kind of a bumpy match structure, but a combination of he does some cool shit in the rain and
- 4:23:57[UNKNOWN]: for it all in.
- 4:23:59[UNKNOWN]: It all came together to make for what I thought was a four star match.
- 4:24:04[UNKNOWN]: But if you are going to watch one match from that show, watch the tactile match.
- 4:24:09[UNKNOWN]: Because that is, they try to do an epic of just juniors rock doing high fly flow shit, doing crazy dives off of the reen into a table that smiles away.
- 4:24:23[UNKNOWN]: All kinds of crazy stuff.
- 4:24:25[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't really make for like a narratively coherent match, but it makes for a fun dude's rock match.
- 4:24:31[UNKNOWN]: So that I think you should definitely go out of your way to watch.
- 4:24:36[UNKNOWN]: Also by the way, Yohey joined Team 2,000X.
- 4:24:40[UNKNOWN]: What?
- 4:24:42[UNKNOWN]: Yep, in his singles match against a Taddy Daddy.
- 4:24:46[UNKNOWN]: He turned on Jonetsu.
- 4:24:51[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 4:24:51[UNKNOWN]: It's not good.
- 4:24:53[UNKNOWN]: It makes no goddamn sense.
- 4:24:55[UNKNOWN]: I See, here's the thing.
- 4:24:57[UNKNOWN]: I was also kind of heartbroken because I was excited to have Yohe back.
- 4:25:02[UNKNOWN]: So they did the dokey thing where like don't where you want to see the guy come back and him as horrible injury.
- 4:25:07[UNKNOWN]: I love the case.
- 4:25:08[UNKNOWN]: I think he was welcome on night one.
- 4:25:10[UNKNOWN]: And then night two when he tries to be the hero against the big bad heel unit, he's like no actually secretly I had joined them already.
- 4:25:19[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know that it's really bad.
- 4:25:21[UNKNOWN]: It's really bad.
- 4:25:22[UNKNOWN]: Now also the, I guess the 200 final was fine.
- 4:25:30[UNKNOWN]: It was high out to versus into high out to one.
- 4:25:33[UNKNOWN]: It was very, very quick.
- 4:25:34[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 4:25:36[UNKNOWN]: All right, there you know we're talking about it.
- 4:25:38[UNKNOWN]: Oh, actually, I'll quickly give the participants to and one day announced it.
- 4:25:41[UNKNOWN]: So native skipping it night don't basically said, you know, I, I want to see you guys, uh, you know, what's the word like you want to see you guys crown your number one guy and then that guy can face me on October the real go go and maybe we can hold up against New Japan's real go go.
- 4:25:56[UNKNOWN]: So I guess we'll see that's the excuse for missing it, which.
- 4:25:59[UNKNOWN]: I mean good good decision on a sleigh up.
- 4:26:02[UNKNOWN]: So agreed.
- 4:26:03[UNKNOWN]: Uh, the A block K Tokimia, Yoshiki and Amura, Shane Hayst, Yukikino, Kazuki Fujita, Chen, some southeast Asian guy.
- 4:26:13[UNKNOWN]: I don't know who that is.
- 4:26:14[UNKNOWN]: Uh, WWE reject.
- 4:26:17[UNKNOWN]: Uh, to Kashi Sugara and Alpha Wolf.
- 4:26:21[UNKNOWN]: So, that's not a bad looking block.
- 4:26:26[UNKNOWN]: I mean, there's some matches.
- 4:26:27[UNKNOWN]: Kaito in America, be good, Shane Hayes, you know, I didn't love the Shane Hayes.
- 4:26:32[UNKNOWN]: I don't read it as much as some people did, but man, he's your end to that with a great performance.
- 4:26:35[UNKNOWN]: So I mean, it caught me watching no again.
- 4:26:38[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 4:26:39[UNKNOWN]: He's trying to work on something.
- 4:26:41[UNKNOWN]: What's going on in a Cougar?
- 4:26:42[UNKNOWN]: They're saying anything about that.
- 4:26:42[UNKNOWN]: He's got this.
- 4:26:43[UNKNOWN]: No, I don't understand that either.
- 4:26:46[UNKNOWN]: So let's demand for those who don't rock or anything, that's for those who don't go listening.
- 4:26:50[UNKNOWN]: That's a water song coming back, but he's coming back as Cougar and he's coming back
- 4:26:56[UNKNOWN]: as a water saw.
- 4:26:58[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, this is coge from progress, the work and progress.
- 4:27:02[UNKNOWN]: This is Nick name.
- 4:27:03[UNKNOWN]: Everybody has a wacky nickname this tournament for some reason.
- 4:27:06[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, block B.
- 4:27:07[UNKNOWN]: Well, the kid nicknames, I think, are just what they normally give Noah wrestlers.
- 4:27:13[UNKNOWN]: The beep, it's Kenbaibalk is Kenno, Kenta, Tetsuya, Ando, Manabu, Soya, Koga, Taisau Exander appearing from Marvelous, that's cool.
- 4:27:22[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, last week in the Mia and of the Ozawa did we he appeared last year too?
- 4:27:29[UNKNOWN]: Ozawa?
- 4:27:30[UNKNOWN]: I remember that.
- 4:27:30[UNKNOWN]: No, how is Ozawa'sander?
- 4:27:32[UNKNOWN]: Because I just didn't hear.
- 4:27:36[UNKNOWN]: Maybe, oh, maybe a year before that.
- 4:27:38[UNKNOWN]: I think so.
- 4:27:39[UNKNOWN]: I don't think it was last year.
- 4:27:42[UNKNOWN]: I really look real quick.
- 4:27:42[UNKNOWN]: Like during the pandemic I think he might have.
- 4:27:45[UNKNOWN]: Oh, 2024, 2024.
- 4:27:46[UNKNOWN]: Oh, what?
- 4:27:47[UNKNOWN]: Mid-all the way semifinal.
- 4:27:50[UNKNOWN]: I think I just straight up didn't watch that one.
- 4:27:52[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't think I did either.
- 4:27:54[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, Kenno, Kanta, Endo, Sorya, Koga, Taisai, Senator, Massica, and me, and I'm Zawa.
- 4:28:00[UNKNOWN]: I mean, if Azawa could fucking get his shit together, it was block of a lot better.
- 4:28:03[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if he's going to, I kind of doubt it.
- 4:28:05[UNKNOWN]: But I'm fascinated to see Koga.
- 4:28:07[UNKNOWN]: It'd be nice if they ever did anything but Endo, but it seems like that's never happening.
- 4:28:11[UNKNOWN]: And we'll see what Titus looks like.
- 4:28:12[UNKNOWN]: Kenos, good, Kentus, good, usually.
- 4:28:14[UNKNOWN]: I look into his horrible nursery of tournaments.
- 4:28:16[UNKNOWN]: Kind of just didn't hold up this tournament blood all.
- 4:28:22[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 4:28:23[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
- 4:28:24[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:24[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:25[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:26[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:27[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:28[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:29[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:31[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:31[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:35[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:35[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:36[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:37[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:38[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:40[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:40[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:42[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:42[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:44[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:45[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:46[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:47[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:48[UNKNOWN]: I just want you to know.
- 4:28:48[UNKNOWN]: I just
- 4:28:50[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I feel better about that line up than I do about the dream star.
- 4:28:53[UNKNOWN]: So, oh yeah, the fucking dream star.
- 4:28:57[UNKNOWN]: We're going to get to that.
- 4:28:58[UNKNOWN]: But first, we got to do the marvelous show from Corkin.
- 4:29:03[UNKNOWN]: We can go quick to it.
- 4:29:03[UNKNOWN]: It's only six matches because we're, I think we're a coach.
- 4:29:06[UNKNOWN]: I also have no notes.
- 4:29:08[UNKNOWN]: So I won't have any way to ramble.
- 4:29:11[UNKNOWN]: The marvelous August 8th, Corkin.
- 4:29:13[UNKNOWN]: I don't think they announced a crowd member did they.
- 4:29:21[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't remember.
- 4:29:22[UNKNOWN]: It's not on it's not anyway.
- 4:29:23[UNKNOWN]: I've been looking at big crowd of me.
- 4:29:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:29:25[UNKNOWN]: It looked like a good cloud agreed.
- 4:29:28[UNKNOWN]: The opener was Mika Iwata beating Ruka Amahane and 924 the silver next.
- 4:29:36[UNKNOWN]: So you are to dominate throughout the first five minutes, of course.
- 4:29:39[UNKNOWN]: But then Ruka who's like the one of the newest marvellous work is I think he's the 13 year old one.
- 4:29:43[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 4:29:44[UNKNOWN]: She's a little slow.
- 4:29:46[UNKNOWN]: to finally fall back with a dropkick and inside cradle several more dropkicks and a power slam the power slam especially got a big big pop but you want to of course end up tapping around a perfectly fine veteran versus youngster mashier although I can't say that Ruka is making a huge impression on me so far especially compared to some of the other brand new jokes you're rookies we see out there but you know she looks okay yeah and again a little cooler so yeah
- 4:30:11[UNKNOWN]: You were to look wrong, heading into your big set of Legos or Catamachia in the month.
- 4:30:15[UNKNOWN]: San.
- 4:30:16[UNKNOWN]: Gentlewoman's three.
- 4:30:17[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 4:30:18[UNKNOWN]: I went through in a quarter.
- 4:30:20[UNKNOWN]: I just really love watching me go a lot of work, honestly.
- 4:30:23[UNKNOWN]: I think she has some of the best offense in the game.
- 4:30:25[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, she's fantastic.
- 4:30:27[UNKNOWN]: She's so fucking good.
- 4:30:30[UNKNOWN]: I was watching this with a friend actually.
- 4:30:32[UNKNOWN]: And when I saw this come up first, I asked him, Hey, do you want to see a child get beat up?
- 4:30:37[UNKNOWN]: And I immediately felt bad about the joke because of how all of me killed what it was beaten or else.
- 4:30:42[UNKNOWN]: It took real good.
- 4:30:43[UNKNOWN]: Because I was like, I am beating this fucking child.
- 4:30:47[UNKNOWN]: And she's going to like it.
- 4:30:49[UNKNOWN]: Like, OK, it's funny because there's a joke.
- 4:30:51[UNKNOWN]: There's a thing in joy.
- 4:30:52[UNKNOWN]: She's like, OK, the 80-year-old's a treat definitely.
- 4:30:53[UNKNOWN]: They don't really beat them up.
- 4:30:55[UNKNOWN]: But apparently, 13-year-olds are fucking fair game.
- 4:30:57[UNKNOWN]: Sure.
- 4:30:58[UNKNOWN]: They beat the Chanel.
- 4:30:59[UNKNOWN]: They sure beat the Chanel these teenagers.
- 4:31:01[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you can even just see what the two sisters
- 4:31:06[UNKNOWN]: There's names that are escaping me for some reason.
- 4:31:11[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:31:12[UNKNOWN]: I voted for one of them in the fucking... Masa Hero... Masa Hero and Sister Moa Hero.
- 4:31:20[UNKNOWN]: Well, like the really young one, they teach...
- 4:31:23[UNKNOWN]: They treat with tolerate kids' gloves.
- 4:31:24[UNKNOWN]: And the 14-year-old that he's fucking kicker ass.
- 4:31:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:31:27[UNKNOWN]: So it's very funny.
- 4:31:30[UNKNOWN]: I thought Ruka's comeback was very standard, but also it feels weird to just comment it all in the performance of a middle school or even if it is an emotional wrestling match.
- 4:31:38[UNKNOWN]: So what about your fun start?
- 4:31:40[UNKNOWN]: I was entertained.
- 4:31:42[UNKNOWN]: Kohei Sato be YoSuke Santa Maria in 754 The Power Driver.
- 4:31:46[UNKNOWN]: So this is a little different from your typical YoSuke County match because a lot of it was about how much smaller she was than Sato.
- 4:31:52[UNKNOWN]: So, and the Sato head butt was flocking gross at the end.
- 4:31:56[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, oh my god.
- 4:31:58[UNKNOWN]: Three stars again.
- 4:31:58[UNKNOWN]: It was fine.
- 4:31:59[UNKNOWN]: I like Maria.
- 4:32:00[UNKNOWN]: I hope she survived that.
- 4:32:01[UNKNOWN]: But I did not realize Yosuke Santa Maria's pronouns were she her.
- 4:32:07[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if it is or not.
- 4:32:08[UNKNOWN]: I just got used to call her.
- 4:32:10[UNKNOWN]: Um, her and me, they, they, I don't know.
- 4:32:13[UNKNOWN]: They may not.
- 4:32:13[UNKNOWN]: The wrestling, the wrestling characters is she, so whatever.
- 4:32:16[UNKNOWN]: Um, yeah, I barely watched this.
- 4:32:19[UNKNOWN]: I was distracted at the time.
- 4:32:20[UNKNOWN]: No rating.
- 4:32:21[UNKNOWN]: Let's move on.
- 4:32:23[UNKNOWN]: Chikayon, Nagashima, Yurika Oket, Ihozan, lost to the team of Itskaterioki, Sorayame, and sweet Caroline.
- 4:32:32[UNKNOWN]: Bob, Bob, Bob, so I'm hitting Hozan in 1401.
- 4:32:38[UNKNOWN]: I didn't think of anything special, so match, most of the way.
- 4:32:41[UNKNOWN]: In fact, they really ended up having almost no notes on it.
- 4:32:44[UNKNOWN]: But boy was the fucking finished special, because Sorag at the biggest fin ever career by far, of course, a poor Ihozan's expense, who never she never gets anything.
- 4:32:53[UNKNOWN]: Um, carbon actually insane for this too.
- 4:32:55[UNKNOWN]: So I went two and three quarters.
- 4:32:57[UNKNOWN]: I gave it like a quarter star of the finish, a very average match, but the finish was great.
- 4:33:00[UNKNOWN]: So I went to and I have no real comments.
- 4:33:05[UNKNOWN]: uh magenta back together here after they've been split up a bunch lately uh especially on the shows I went to a sati couldn't see them and hear their awesome themes song alive.
- 4:33:14[UNKNOWN]: We'll see again a cork and maybe look at the disinter year we'll say uh magenta Marie and Riko be etchicamiavi and Leia Knight uh it was you it was biabi pinning riko in 1145
- 4:33:26[UNKNOWN]: So, Leid Knight is a 22 year old in Seattle.
- 4:33:28[UNKNOWN]: I've never heard of her.
- 4:33:30[UNKNOWN]: Kate Matches and I have her stats, but she looked almost as tall as Echika's.
- 4:33:33[UNKNOWN]: She must be pretty fucking tall.
- 4:33:34[UNKNOWN]: Echika's like five, ten, I think.
- 4:33:37[UNKNOWN]: Um, she only has forty-day matches under a belt.
- 4:33:39[UNKNOWN]: I was surprised to see that because I thought she was pretty good here.
- 4:33:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, she held her arms.
- 4:33:42[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:33:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:33:44[UNKNOWN]: Um, I had a cool, a long moment where they were coming out and I was like, What fucking titles Rico have?
- 4:33:49[UNKNOWN]: It looks so cool.
- 4:33:50[UNKNOWN]: But then I put two together because it has a big rose on the front of it.
- 4:33:52[UNKNOWN]: It's like this white belt.
- 4:33:54[UNKNOWN]: Like, oh yeah.
- 4:33:54[UNKNOWN]: Roe is a cinnamon zero-one's new.
- 4:33:57[UNKNOWN]: Oh, okay.
- 4:33:59[UNKNOWN]: So I guess Rico is a inaugural champion.
- 4:34:01[UNKNOWN]: I'm pretty, I didn't look it up.
- 4:34:02[UNKNOWN]: I'm pretty sure that's true.
- 4:34:03[UNKNOWN]: I'm like, what else that belt would be?
- 4:34:05[UNKNOWN]: But I remember vaguely hearing that, so it's a quick sound for you.
- 4:34:08[UNKNOWN]: I never watched it.
- 4:34:08[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to not, uh, you key wolves her name.
- 4:34:12[UNKNOWN]: The, the one that they signed, like the first woman they signed, who was from Ice Ribbon.
- 4:34:17[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I know you're talking about, but I can't think of the name of it.
- 4:34:18[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 4:34:19[UNKNOWN]: She did that start in title shot.
- 4:34:20[UNKNOWN]: She did, yeah, after the high speed.
- 4:34:22[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:34:23[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:34:24[UNKNOWN]: I can't think of her name either.
- 4:34:25[UNKNOWN]: Oh.
- 4:34:25[UNKNOWN]: Um, Yuki's, there's so many Yuki's too.
- 4:34:27[UNKNOWN]: He he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he
- 4:34:43[UNKNOWN]: Well, whatever, this is a female man, I reach for a female name.
- 4:34:46[UNKNOWN]: I know my name's common, too.
- 4:34:49[UNKNOWN]: uh... magenta have been trying to recruit as she got for a while now apparently they present a her with the shirt again before the match is just kind of whipped rego with it so i guess that was a no for now um... and i guess someone's been watching their starting days because etica gets room so on at the top by rego but just flips her over on top of the pen uh... i got the things was kind of stupid but whatever maybe she's way bigger so at least it makes sense she has a cut of the leverage to do it but another perfectly fine match it started dragging for me back towards the end of the
- 4:35:20[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the match itself, I don't have a lot of comments on, it was fine, the post match was hilarious.
- 4:35:27[UNKNOWN]: Yes, I can the match mean, I just beat the two of you.
- 4:35:29[UNKNOWN]: All right, I'll join you.
- 4:35:30[UNKNOWN]: I was like, what?
- 4:35:31[UNKNOWN]: No, no.
- 4:35:32[UNKNOWN]: The subtext here is she had already decided to join them.
- 4:35:36[UNKNOWN]: She just wanted to put them on the match, right?
- 4:35:38[UNKNOWN]: Because she had to shave her eyebrows to do it and put on fake eyebrows.
- 4:35:42[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
- 4:35:44[UNKNOWN]: That is funny.
- 4:35:45[UNKNOWN]: So she was going to join the winner loose.
- 4:35:48[UNKNOWN]: That's funny, as you've been debating them, I said.
- 4:35:50[UNKNOWN]: All right, we get to the two matches that everyone's creamer their pants about.
- 4:35:53[UNKNOWN]: I would just say off the bat, I'm lower on both of these.
- 4:35:55[UNKNOWN]: So, the first one, because the case range rateings are both of these are really high, I'm very, very correct, and one of them I did think was awesome.
- 4:36:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the case range range are 8.7 for the Stex range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range range
- 4:36:17[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, the first one, to Kumi Rohat, Beat Sankha, Sankha in 1835, Vietnam out, the stipulation, by the way, is if either one of them to Kumi or Seria lost one of these two singles matches, they would have to break up as a team.
- 4:36:29[UNKNOWN]: Oh, really?
- 4:36:30[UNKNOWN]: I don't know that.
- 4:36:32[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:36:33[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I just, this, this match, like the crowd was really into it.
- 4:36:37[UNKNOWN]: So that probably helped it for a lot of people, but I just, like, the form extremes they had, I thought was really, really standard until to come to you finally, crack for in the mouth.
- 4:36:47[UNKNOWN]: There was this really great sequence where like, they reversed like, super, like, super, like, shut it back and forth and it ended with a double pin fall, but they always got, well, it's got counted down and they both should back up
- 4:37:00[UNKNOWN]: one last time to call me briefly blocked it, but I don't know, like it's just, there was a lot of stuff here that was like, okay, the end especially I didn't like.
- 4:37:09[UNKNOWN]: because I thought Senka, who's usually very good and very realistic, I thought the way she was signing that she was out, was a little weird and just like, especially the finish when she staggered back up to her feet and just kind of fell backwards and looked kind of stupid to me.
- 4:37:24[UNKNOWN]: They didn't look realistic at all.
- 4:37:26[UNKNOWN]: I also thought it was dumb that Takumi kept going for the knockout finish.
- 4:37:30[UNKNOWN]: The match had a 20 minute time limit and you're fucking tag team who you're fucking champions worth, I think.
- 4:37:35[UNKNOWN]: Oh no, wait, did they lose them?
- 4:37:37[UNKNOWN]: No, they lost them, okay, they're not champions anymore.
- 4:37:38[UNKNOWN]: But the tag team, you know, do you have to fucking, you wouldn't break up your tag team if you lose this match.
- 4:37:43[UNKNOWN]: So like shouldn't you be like a little more desperate to win this match?
- 4:37:48[UNKNOWN]: Then you're not going for fucking like knockout, you're going, you should be going for pins here.
- 4:37:52[UNKNOWN]: It's like time, there's a less than a minute and a half less than the time limit.
- 4:37:55[UNKNOWN]: So I thought that was kind of stupid and I put the finished and really work for me.
- 4:37:58[UNKNOWN]: I was like three and a half on it.
- 4:37:59[UNKNOWN]: It was good.
- 4:38:01[UNKNOWN]: But like a lot of people were way higher in this match with me, seemingly.
- 4:38:06[UNKNOWN]: I went through your about to say you were, too.
- 4:38:07[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I went for flat.
- 4:38:09[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know if that's way higher, though.
- 4:38:12[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's a little higher.
- 4:38:14[UNKNOWN]: I would say it was great, but not much more than that.
- 4:38:19[UNKNOWN]: And I think a lot of it was simply that this was
- 4:38:22[UNKNOWN]: a match had done with a lot of intensity in front of a very hot crowd.
- 4:38:27[UNKNOWN]: I just didn't think it had much of a narrative thread tying it together.
- 4:38:31[UNKNOWN]: Beyond two of them, just kind of wrestling a pretty straightforward match.
- 4:38:38[UNKNOWN]: That, yes, I also agree that the ending is a little underwhelming.
- 4:38:42[UNKNOWN]: But I also thought it made sense for Sankha.
- 4:38:45[UNKNOWN]: Like something about her attitude is very similar to you know ice, right?
- 4:38:50[UNKNOWN]: They're weirdly comparable.
- 4:38:53[UNKNOWN]: where it makes a lot of sense that her matches are more likely to end by K or TKO than by pin.
- 4:39:06[UNKNOWN]: But if you want to talk about a good match,
- 4:39:08[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the main event, I mean, I know the main event was awesome.
- 4:39:12[UNKNOWN]: It's one of these times we're like, you know, everybody else needs to have as a match of the year contender.
- 4:39:16[UNKNOWN]: So it's 9.5 to the end cage match of them, play 4 and 3 quarters.
- 4:39:19[UNKNOWN]: I'm like 4 and a quarter.
- 4:39:20[UNKNOWN]: So I'm not going to be out here and say it sucked.
- 4:39:22[UNKNOWN]: I thought it was awesome.
- 4:39:23[UNKNOWN]: But I just didn't hit that match of the year level for me.
- 4:39:26[UNKNOWN]: I think the problem was like, besides the fact that I had one spot that I thought was really weird and stupid.
- 4:39:32[UNKNOWN]: Like, first of all, they were so much crowd-rolling and that's, and I cannot stress enough how over crowd-rolling I am.
- 4:39:37[UNKNOWN]: Second of all, but I get it because they wanted to show off the house stage room, so whatever.
- 4:39:42[UNKNOWN]: But second of all, there was a spot where Mio climbed up to that entryway for the stairwell, but I still can't figure out what to call and dove off it.
- 4:39:49[UNKNOWN]: But to reach, it's like, didn't sell it?
- 4:39:51[UNKNOWN]: She did the smoke room.
- 4:39:52[UNKNOWN]: I didn't go in.
- 4:39:53[UNKNOWN]: She walked away.
- 4:39:54[UNKNOWN]: What?
- 4:39:54[UNKNOWN]: But she didn't really walk away, though.
- 4:39:56[UNKNOWN]: I thought, because I mean, we wound it three times.
- 4:39:58[UNKNOWN]: I mean, we wound it three times, make sure.
- 4:40:00[UNKNOWN]: Mio, Mio, if you barely moves, and Mio sort of grazes her, and she just doesn't sell it.
- 4:40:06[UNKNOWN]: I thought I was so weird, because that's where I thought happened at first, too.
- 4:40:09[UNKNOWN]: But I kept me wanting to make sure, and she stands there.
- 4:40:12[UNKNOWN]: So me and I thought, I thought, I think is what happened then, huh?
- 4:40:16[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 4:40:16[UNKNOWN]: It was a very weird spot.
- 4:40:18[UNKNOWN]: I was surprised when people would talk about it because how height this match is, I mean, that's a big spot in the match.
- 4:40:22[UNKNOWN]: It was really weird.
- 4:40:23[UNKNOWN]: I couldn't even tell what they were going for to be honest.
- 4:40:27[UNKNOWN]: But, of course, the rest of it was really, really awesome.
- 4:40:30[UNKNOWN]: They fucking beat the shit out of each other.
- 4:40:31[UNKNOWN]: But, you'd expect it was a really match.
- 4:40:33[UNKNOWN]: They did really brutal kicks for each other.
- 4:40:35[UNKNOWN]: They did brutal forearms.
- 4:40:37[UNKNOWN]: I didn't think it had any kind of big story either.
- 4:40:40[UNKNOWN]: It just kind of was like, okay, they beat each other and somebody won, finally.
- 4:40:44[UNKNOWN]: Um, but it was still awesome.
- 4:40:45[UNKNOWN]: I mean, again, I'm, I've doing that thing where I'm nitpicking and I actually thought was awesome.
- 4:40:48[UNKNOWN]: But like, you know, I was four in a quarter, I don't know, everybody else is like, imagine the year.
- 4:40:51[UNKNOWN]: So that's why I feel obliged to say something because I didn't like about that much.
- 4:40:54[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, awesome fucking match, four in a quarter stars, to kill each other real good.
- 4:41:00[UNKNOWN]: I loved that.
- 4:41:00[UNKNOWN]: The ref Tommy, because you obviously, I'm partial ref here to Marvelous.
- 4:41:04[UNKNOWN]: And she does that hesitation and like, that damn it phase wasn't gorgeous to count three, but that was cool.
- 4:41:09[UNKNOWN]: Well, she always hesitates on the third character.
- 4:41:11[UNKNOWN]: Why don't she always hesitates?
- 4:41:12[UNKNOWN]: She always hesitates, but she had a face.
- 4:41:14[UNKNOWN]: Oh, okay, okay, okay.
- 4:41:16[UNKNOWN]: Like you look at her face, she's it's face like, oh, damn.
- 4:41:18[UNKNOWN]: Like our girl lost, basically, that was the face.
- 4:41:21[UNKNOWN]: So, but yeah, awesome fucking match.
- 4:41:23[UNKNOWN]: Four and a quarter.
- 4:41:25[UNKNOWN]: Really, the only thing on this show, I would go out of my way to see, but a lot of people disagree with me on the semi-main, so I guess watch that too.
- 4:41:30[UNKNOWN]: But yeah.
- 4:41:31[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I would four and a half on it.
- 4:41:34[UNKNOWN]: So I guess not that far off from you.
- 4:41:37[UNKNOWN]: It is, uh, it is tough to talk about a match that is largely people just hitting each other really fucking hard, and I also think it's not a lot to talk about.
- 4:41:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and I think they sure did.
- 4:41:50[UNKNOWN]: My god.
- 4:41:51[UNKNOWN]: And it was sometimes getting uncomfortable.
- 4:41:53[UNKNOWN]: It reminded me in some ways of an even better version of Gabe Kid and Nauri's match from earlier a couple of weeks ago actually at this point,
- 4:42:07[UNKNOWN]: This one I think part of what made it special set of a part was a combination of some external factors that are beyond the rest of the control like the crowd was bloodthirsty basically and the there's a prestige that seri has attached to her at this point that makes a match where a wrestler like meow.
- 4:42:35[UNKNOWN]: is in the perfect position to get a big win that you want to see, even though you rationally know it will never happen.
- 4:42:43[UNKNOWN]: You know what I'm saying?
- 4:42:45[UNKNOWN]: Um, she brings like a little extra prestige to this kind of match that I think pushes it over the top.
- 4:42:52[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 4:42:54[UNKNOWN]: Great stuff.
- 4:42:55[UNKNOWN]: I really recommend watching.
- 4:42:57[UNKNOWN]: Sure, definitely for sure.
- 4:43:01[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, made event definitely recommend it.
- 4:43:04[UNKNOWN]: The semi-main, you probably should watch it because you'll probably like it more than I did.
- 4:43:07[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 4:43:09[UNKNOWN]: Uh, there you go, there's your very good review.
- 4:43:10[UNKNOWN]: All right.
- 4:43:11[UNKNOWN]: Last topic.
- 4:43:11[UNKNOWN]: Thank you guys.
- 4:43:12[UNKNOWN]: We're approaching Approaching five hours and it's almost one.
- 4:43:15[UNKNOWN]: It's almost one.
- 4:43:15[UNKNOWN]: I am in the closing of coming here and killing me.
- 4:43:17[UNKNOWN]: Uh, marvelous.
- 4:43:18[UNKNOWN]: The August 8th.
- 4:43:20[UNKNOWN]: No, this is, this is, I just did that.
- 4:43:21[UNKNOWN]: Sorry.
- 4:43:22[UNKNOWN]: Sorry.
- 4:43:22[UNKNOWN]: It's, it's, it's one A M folks.
- 4:43:24[UNKNOWN]: August 9th, older ward gym.
- 4:43:26[UNKNOWN]: I did not watch the first three matches.
- 4:43:28[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, nothing to say about them.
- 4:43:28[UNKNOWN]: Did you watch them?
- 4:43:30[UNKNOWN]: I did, but there's not a lot to say about most of them.
- 4:43:33[UNKNOWN]: All right, so it's 1,310 attendance very slightly up from the 12,000, 1,230, they announced back on May 23rd for Tommy Sendoff Show, but still well below the 1,812 of the show you were at the January 3rd show that I've still never watched any of them.
- 4:43:50[UNKNOWN]: At this point, you're not allowed to.
- 4:43:52[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to hear that you ever watch Mayu-Iwitani versus Takumi-Iroha, the best match of the year by far.
- 4:43:58[UNKNOWN]: You're not allowed to watch that.
- 4:44:00[UNKNOWN]: Okay, I wasn't going to, anyway, probably.
- 4:44:05[UNKNOWN]: Oh, no, you're not.
- 4:44:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, well, so how's that?
- 4:44:07[UNKNOWN]: How's that?
- 4:44:08[UNKNOWN]: All right, so I opened up with a Komomo, Minami, really having bird, in six or seven with a German suplex hold.
- 4:44:15[UNKNOWN]: Anything at all about this, man?
- 4:44:18[UNKNOWN]: Uh, actually, I thought this was pretty all right, especially for Komomo.
- 4:44:24[UNKNOWN]: Uh, there's a bit at the end.
- 4:44:26[UNKNOWN]: How it basically closes out is,
- 4:44:28[UNKNOWN]: Hummingbird is in the position to get Suplex and she tries to break out of it and Komomo keeps pulling her back in and this goes on for a while and they do it long enough that it loops from okay, this is getting kind of repetitive to okay, this is kind of awesome, especially because Komomo pins her eventually with the Suplex and it's a really good looking Suplex.
- 4:44:54[UNKNOWN]: There's a bit there that I thought
- 4:44:59[UNKNOWN]: in coma mode specifically.
- 4:45:02[UNKNOWN]: So I don't want to overstate it though.
- 4:45:05[UNKNOWN]: This was a fine match.
- 4:45:06[UNKNOWN]: Also, hummingbird just doesn't really do high flying stuff anymore.
- 4:45:10[UNKNOWN]: And I wonder if like that the high speed match from a couple of years ago was so bad that it feels like she just doesn't take risks anymore.
- 4:45:21[UNKNOWN]: It's kind of sad to watch.
- 4:45:24[UNKNOWN]: Mag number two, Cioco Coshino and Elya James beat now, Eishikawa and the lady, the lady AI, I always want to say I, but no, it's AI, that's their actual name.
- 4:45:33[UNKNOWN]: Coshino hit the liner splash in 12 17 on AI.
- 4:45:37[UNKNOWN]: I can't imagine this was good with Coshino and there, and I don't know why they didn't bother Elya James, but, oh, thank you, watch her.
- 4:45:42[UNKNOWN]: It was fine, it was two and a half.
- 4:45:46[UNKNOWN]: Very little of the comment on my biggest note is,
- 4:45:50[UNKNOWN]: uh... now it's trying to get the audience to chant for the lady a i and i'm sorry but it's hard to chant for a i nowadays mastery unagi sciica mystery you of course beat mega town in seven thirty nine with the jom on top uh... sure i'm sure if it was a bit of a mat classic uh... the best thing uh... was that unagi broke out your favorite gimmick
- 4:46:13[UNKNOWN]: Uh, in a comedy match, do you know what I'm talking about?
- 4:46:15[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, there are, there are everybody.
- 4:46:17[UNKNOWN]: She did.
- 4:46:17[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
- 4:46:18[UNKNOWN]: And make it to a good, like a champ to regret it.
- 4:46:21[UNKNOWN]: So good for her.
- 4:46:22[UNKNOWN]: Yep, good for her.
- 4:46:24[UNKNOWN]: She's in the fucking dream star.
- 4:46:25[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to, that may want to fucking kill myself when it saw that.
- 4:46:28[UNKNOWN]: But the, why fucking sit, but I thought five mega ton singles matches.
- 4:46:31[UNKNOWN]: Fucking kill me.
- 4:46:33[UNKNOWN]: 3D trios titles.
- 4:46:36[UNKNOWN]: That's a little strong, but okay.
- 4:46:39[UNKNOWN]: I don't know where the very end the calls it came here look like a very literally the very on uh... me so that's the rich yaki and race that though be my soccer lie that's who we show zucchini in arena yamaqa it was set up with a reverse handle honey got to me on soccer i in fifty-to-five so the soccer i team i can never remember the team is something or is it like more of you uh... the vian rose
- 4:47:03[UNKNOWN]: La Vienro, thank you.
- 4:47:05[UNKNOWN]: They failed in their third defense and darkness of evolution became the second champions.
- 4:47:10[UNKNOWN]: Kind of merry-go-no-nothing for me for a long time or this is just fine, but like nothing more and the crowd was basically deadfuck in silent.
- 4:47:17[UNKNOWN]: Now keep in mind, they watched the first three matches as my first one I turned on.
- 4:47:20[UNKNOWN]: Oh, they were silent all the time.
- 4:47:22[UNKNOWN]: Why the fuck?
- 4:47:23[UNKNOWN]: Why these people go to these shows?
- 4:47:25[UNKNOWN]: They go to these shows to sit there in silence and watch the wrestlers.
- 4:47:28[UNKNOWN]: They don't apparently like enough to cheer for.
- 4:47:31[UNKNOWN]: So bizarre to me.
- 4:47:33[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, okay, so the only thing I think worth noting about the match is that rea got the submission on my yeah, would that I did not think of it.
- 4:47:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so and I think why the dark distribution revolution why the dark distribution weapon shots always so low effort by the way Like they said, though, did like a whip or something on like you should watch arena because what it was it what the fuck is that.
- 4:47:55[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like nothing
- 4:47:56[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it doesn't look good.
- 4:47:57[UNKNOWN]: Hey, I was pretty good.
- 4:47:58[UNKNOWN]: It was three and a quarter.
- 4:47:59[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I'm having a racetrack.
- 4:48:01[UNKNOWN]: I think myself was great.
- 4:48:02[UNKNOWN]: Otherwise, I mean, I think she's one of their better wrestlers.
- 4:48:04[UNKNOWN]: But like the Jordan Revolution, the other two, going straight from the twin star to the fucking 3D belts on two straight older warshows, like streams lanes you're talking to me.
- 4:48:14[UNKNOWN]: We're going to move one time to the other.
- 4:48:16[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and they don't have that many great.
- 4:48:19[UNKNOWN]: They don't have that many wrestlers.
- 4:48:20[UNKNOWN]: So it's already weird enough that they've
- 4:48:24[UNKNOWN]: I, yeah, I would have rather that Levian rose who, by the way, got a new entrance theme.
- 4:48:30[UNKNOWN]: I'm pretty sure as a unit for this show for the loss of titles, what's up with that?
- 4:48:37[UNKNOWN]: That, that wacky hat man.
- 4:48:40[UNKNOWN]: Uh, we're going to put our tag titles anyway.
- 4:48:42[UNKNOWN]: Three in a court.
- 4:48:43[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, I love I said that three in a corner for midday.
- 4:48:45[UNKNOWN]: Pretty much pretty good.
- 4:48:45[UNKNOWN]: No, no, just get dead crowd.
- 4:48:48[UNKNOWN]: I got crammed.
- 4:48:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:48:48[UNKNOWN]: Fins are twin star titles.
- 4:48:51[UNKNOWN]: Koki Amara and Chika Godo make their third defense, beating the team of Chino and Yuki Yamazaki.
- 4:48:58[UNKNOWN]: It was cheeky with the go-ton special on Chino to make your second defense.
- 4:49:03[UNKNOWN]: So, match.
- 4:49:05[UNKNOWN]: So pretty.
- 4:49:07[UNKNOWN]: This is it.
- 4:49:07[UNKNOWN]: It's almost like I'm going to go fast.
- 4:49:09[UNKNOWN]: Big, this is the biggest spot for Yuka in her young career so far.
- 4:49:14[UNKNOWN]: She basically filled in for the injured Sariyama Okahir.
- 4:49:17[UNKNOWN]: Since Sariyah had been, she knows regular part in our flight.
- 4:49:20[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this was a massive happened.
- 4:49:22[UNKNOWN]: It was two and a quarter stars, it was below average.
- 4:49:24[UNKNOWN]: I was slightly higher than that.
- 4:49:26[UNKNOWN]: I went through flat.
- 4:49:27[UNKNOWN]: I thought Chino and Yuka had some impressive spots together.
- 4:49:31[UNKNOWN]: Gochika and Kokido, they didn't look as impressive, which is a problem when you're the champion.
- 4:49:38[UNKNOWN]: Gochika also seems to take up mostly offense too, which makes me worry about how much cookie can handle singles matches.
- 4:49:48[UNKNOWN]: Well, we're going to find out.
- 4:49:50[UNKNOWN]: The semi-main, the only thing we're watching on this show was my favorite Tony and Victoria Yuzuki losing to Spark Rush.
- 4:49:56[UNKNOWN]: It was seri pinning so Zuki in 1913 with your Nagai.
- 4:50:02[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, to come here, I was a partner.
- 4:50:04[UNKNOWN]: I legit forgot that fucking Victoria Yuzuki.
- 4:50:10[UNKNOWN]: First of all, first I forgot the Victoria Yuzuki had the white belt because she's been out since the first match in April 19th by the way.
- 4:50:18[UNKNOWN]: Then I forgot, not just that my Utah is a superfly champion, I forgot the superfly title even existed.
- 4:50:24[UNKNOWN]: That's it she's been she has a Russell's she has a Russell's in April 11th besides the one mass she didn't marvelous Which she rustled on broken flood for ridden's retire match on May 5th like a completely idiot Which I mean I said that lovingly about my she's she's now that's a very just not the sharpest knife in the jar But but yeah, I mean you know The two of these rest was basically up and out for Almost four months and they they're both still single champions.
- 4:50:49[UNKNOWN]: How fucking stupid is that?
- 4:50:53[UNKNOWN]: It also probably goes out saying that they should have made a benefit with this match.
- 4:50:57[UNKNOWN]: I mean, this is the only one that the crowd cared about.
- 4:50:59[UNKNOWN]: They were into this match.
- 4:51:00[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:51:01[UNKNOWN]: And I saw someone who was there posting as well that people left after this match too.
- 4:51:06[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I was skinny, skinny pop on the voice wrestling discord in case he's a lesser good natural credit.
- 4:51:10[UNKNOWN]: He was there and they said that people were people a lot of your luck to this match.
- 4:51:14[UNKNOWN]: Um, can you believe that Hattman actually said the the fucking red that always has to go on last because I agree with him.
- 4:51:23[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know man, you know what's hearing that backstage.
- 4:51:26[UNKNOWN]: You probably fucking like broke out laughing or heard that hearing that like from somewhere.
- 4:51:31[UNKNOWN]: I know.
- 4:51:31[UNKNOWN]: I know.
- 4:51:32[UNKNOWN]: I know.
- 4:51:33[UNKNOWN]: Usually because they all, they two, two shows in a row, two big shows in a row.
- 4:51:36[UNKNOWN]: They made a van with something else over her red bell patch.
- 4:51:38[UNKNOWN]: So anyway, um, he's running the story.
- 4:51:43[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:51:43[UNKNOWN]: Good.
- 4:51:44[UNKNOWN]: great great time to be right I guess I don't know I don't know I don't know because it kept making like wrote like weird noises and stuff I got to get a new mic so I put it farther away and turn it up um but yeah just to go quickly because the call wants to go to bed and I want to get in the shower it was a great match I was like I don't I don't know if I'm like let me work we're at the
- 4:52:15[UNKNOWN]: And they had it, and it's, oh, no, 9.28, okay, so I had it like a somewhere between four and half and four and three quarters.
- 4:52:28[UNKNOWN]: I was like four stars flat on it, thought it was pretty great.
- 4:52:31[UNKNOWN]: It just felt like the less cool younger sister of the spark rush versus Alice and William.
- 4:52:36[UNKNOWN]: I'm actually a matchman earlier this year.
- 4:52:38[UNKNOWN]: Because they kind of tried to, they kind of sort of started the same story where it's like, oh, Spark runs doesn't take you seriously and she's mad about it.
- 4:52:45[UNKNOWN]: But then they really didn't do that much with it.
- 4:52:47[UNKNOWN]: Or is they made the entire story of the match?
- 4:52:49[UNKNOWN]: The endo not being taken seriously in a way that that elevated that match.
- 4:52:53[UNKNOWN]: That's one of my favorite matches in entire year.
- 4:52:54[UNKNOWN]: And it's a four and three quarter star match to me.
- 4:52:56[UNKNOWN]: This is like the, the, the less coiors sister that match was still great match.
- 4:52:59[UNKNOWN]: They still did, you know, so some read just fucking murder Victoria for a while, which of course is a good job of and Victoria took this insane bump on when you're in Aga in particular, like right under neck, like trying to go right back on the injured less girl like Jesus.
- 4:53:13[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:53:13[UNKNOWN]: But, uh, you know, great match, four stars, uh, you know, it, it was, uh, yeah, I went four and a quarter, um, it was a match done
- 4:53:26[UNKNOWN]: Um, I don't think the story, I don't think she makes sense in the a resuit into a position, partly because she is a current champion, and she has also, uh, been a finalist at the five star before.
- 4:53:39[UNKNOWN]: Sorry, not the star.
- 4:53:40[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:53:41[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:53:41[UNKNOWN]: The dream is super lucky.
- 4:53:42[UNKNOWN]: She's, she's clearly like one of their top four five wrestlers.
- 4:53:46[UNKNOWN]: So yeah.
- 4:53:48[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, the main event, the Margot Bolt title, me go out and I'll be Nagisinozaki in 1841 with a Larryette, make her six defense.
- 4:53:56[UNKNOWN]: I mean, all matches, too, to main event over that one.
- 4:53:58[UNKNOWN]: I mean, this is like the weakest one time I've ever put on, how's it going?
- 4:54:01[UNKNOWN]: Oh, you're Lisa.
- 4:54:03[UNKNOWN]: At least, at least a Cheyaki one had it, the hairstyle.
- 4:54:06[UNKNOWN]: Like what did this have?
- 4:54:08[UNKNOWN]: You know, I was shocked it even got a seven on cage match because again, that's three and a half.
- 4:54:13[UNKNOWN]: I was like two and three quarters on it.
- 4:54:14[UNKNOWN]: It was okay, but like the crowd was not anywhere at all.
- 4:54:17[UNKNOWN]: Nope.
- 4:54:18[UNKNOWN]: It was really boring for the first five minutes.
- 4:54:21[UNKNOWN]: You know, there's some decent middle kicks by Mikuano at one point.
- 4:54:24[UNKNOWN]: Like there was a spot where, you know, the fucking chair spots, I was supposed to get heat.
- 4:54:30[UNKNOWN]: The older crowd was so, like, dead silent in a way, I don't even recall hearing a rustling crowd.
- 4:54:36[UNKNOWN]: Like, they were not the normal quiet rustling crowd.
- 4:54:39[UNKNOWN]: They were so dead silent, it felt like you could hear people breathing.
- 4:54:42[UNKNOWN]: Like, it gets uncomfortable, you know.
- 4:54:44[UNKNOWN]: It gets uncomfortable, you know.
- 4:54:46[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like, this was really, really bad.
- 4:54:47[UNKNOWN]: Really, really bad crowd heat.
- 4:54:49[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's, it's match again.
- 4:54:51[UNKNOWN]: It's like bullfight, because match wasn't great.
- 4:54:53[UNKNOWN]: They didn't get the crowd alive to work with, but they, you know, you don't think the rest was something.
- 4:54:58[UNKNOWN]: to work with, too, and like they just had nothing to work with either, too.
- 4:55:00[UNKNOWN]: So I don't know.
- 4:55:02[UNKNOWN]: Miku, one of the nice Larry at the end would be simple, but it was so boring and the crowd was so fucking dead that I was like, again, it's two and three quarters.
- 4:55:09[UNKNOWN]: I don't get how people are going miracles back off the show.
- 4:55:11[UNKNOWN]: I really don't.
- 4:55:13[UNKNOWN]: And one great tag match for two outsiders, there was really nothing else I saw that was great.
- 4:55:18[UNKNOWN]: And I doubt the three matches I skipped would have convinced me anything.
- 4:55:21[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't,
- 4:55:25[UNKNOWN]: a ton of dead space in the match not good and I'm starting to wonder if Mikawano is a good champion but also I don't think Nagasano's ockeys have her had a great match in the singles match right like remember her feud with my and how flat that uh the final match of that feud was like I don't know and she she doesn't feel like a good choice for a challenger
- 4:55:49[UNKNOWN]: All right, so that's your Mario goes show again.
- 4:55:52[UNKNOWN]: One match you should watch probably the few star GP participants.
- 4:55:55[UNKNOWN]: It's four blocks of six.
- 4:55:57[UNKNOWN]: They went from two blocks to four.
- 4:55:58[UNKNOWN]: It's pretty stupid in my opinion.
- 4:56:00[UNKNOWN]: I don't think they have nearly a deep enough roster to get away with four blocks.
- 4:56:02[UNKNOWN]: As you hear, we do these read off these names.
- 4:56:04[UNKNOWN]: It's like this.
- 4:56:05[UNKNOWN]: This maybe want to go back on covering the green star.
- 4:56:07[UNKNOWN]: I think I'm still going to do it, but these blocks look horrible.
- 4:56:11[UNKNOWN]: Miku, the A-block is Miku Anno, not to me shows you can meet so much sui, Rina Yamoroka, Yuki Yamazagi, and Alay James.
- 4:56:22[UNKNOWN]: I guess I'm a little excited for Lisa and that sui me, I don't know, really stretching.
- 4:56:26[UNKNOWN]: I think this was the strongest block from what I remember, and it's not that great.
- 4:56:31[UNKNOWN]: B-block, myriotani, Mila Schmidt, Komomo Minami, now is Shikawa, Nagisanozaki and Chiyaki.
- 4:56:38[UNKNOWN]: You put myriotani in this fucking block?
- 4:56:41[UNKNOWN]: I know.
- 4:56:43[UNKNOWN]: What the fuck are they thinking?
- 4:56:46[UNKNOWN]: They're like, happy and it's really that desperate and I give away a single fucking match in this.
- 4:56:50[UNKNOWN]: Like this fucking, and by the way, top two move out on when you have six per block, which is even worse than the starting thing with three out of eight.
- 4:56:58[UNKNOWN]: I think our maybe it's about to say, I don't know.
- 4:57:00[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, it's just fucking, I don't know, brutal, just like, to horrible.
- 4:57:04[UNKNOWN]: Number, the third block, like, block save, Victoria, Yuzuki, my soccer rye, Shoko Koshino, hummingbird, Chichi, and Diana Strong.
- 4:57:13[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you think you have half a good block here?
- 4:57:15[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:57:15[UNKNOWN]: We have excited to see Victoria.
- 4:57:17[UNKNOWN]: Victoria, my and Chichi are gonna have bangers because each other hopefully, they gotta rest a hummingbird and go over the fuck Diana Strong is and Shoko Koshino sucks.
- 4:57:26[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:57:29[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's rough.
- 4:57:31[UNKNOWN]: The D block, D block, interestingly, coping, I'm right, and she got to go to at least I thought we're going to see an interesting mess there.
- 4:57:37[UNKNOWN]: She, you know, lace at the, like, Nagy's a touch about it.
- 4:57:40[UNKNOWN]: You're probably going, oh, pretty good block.
- 4:57:41[UNKNOWN]: Then fucking make it time.
- 4:57:43[UNKNOWN]: Why is make it time this fucking thing?
- 4:57:47[UNKNOWN]: Oh, I, it's still not a thing.
- 4:57:50[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I didn't say it.
- 4:57:51[UNKNOWN]: Lady, I at least looked okay for it working.
- 4:57:55[UNKNOWN]: It's still not as bad in my head as,
- 4:57:58[UNKNOWN]: the block with my you in it weirdly enough.
- 4:58:01[UNKNOWN]: I told him it's like I would rather watch this block than my his block, which is so weird.
- 4:58:08[UNKNOWN]: Well, it's a good.
- 4:58:08[UNKNOWN]: It's a pretty good block besides Megaton, I guess.
- 4:58:11[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 4:58:11[UNKNOWN]: It's got Megaton in it, so.
- 4:58:13[UNKNOWN]: All right.
- 4:58:16[UNKNOWN]: That is it, folks.
- 4:58:17[UNKNOWN]: We're done.
- 4:58:18[UNKNOWN]: Much to everybody's.
- 4:58:19[UNKNOWN]: So at least now is she calm isn't it?
- 4:58:21[UNKNOWN]: That's that's my one consolation prize.
- 4:58:24[UNKNOWN]: She finally gets to do a
- 4:58:27[UNKNOWN]: I guess I'm going to watch this for the looks horrible.
- 4:58:29[UNKNOWN]: We don't have to.
- 4:58:31[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to do it.
- 4:58:33[UNKNOWN]: Who else is going to cover it?
- 4:58:34[UNKNOWN]: It's like I shouldn't have fucking like for the people.
- 4:58:37[UNKNOWN]: Only people are going to cover it, besides us and the, I guess, I guess, I guess, jumping by my body or even though if they're going to.
- 4:58:43[UNKNOWN]: It's like people who fucking insist to everything in my world is great when it really isn't.
- 4:58:46[UNKNOWN]: So someone is going to be a counterweight to that.
- 4:58:49[UNKNOWN]: So.
- 4:58:51[UNKNOWN]: I guess I like my you enough that I'm willing to try.
- 4:58:55[UNKNOWN]: It's so bad, it's so bad.
- 4:58:56[UNKNOWN]: All right.
- 4:58:56[UNKNOWN]: Well, next week.
