00:00Well, we'll see whether Yoshinobu Kanemaru can pick up after a bad start for House of Torture.
00:09So let's be a bit Kevin about your first league match coming up tomorrow.
00:14We'll be facing Mao. We saw a little bit of a preview earlier on.
00:17I'm ready to welcome Mao to his first Sydney Hall Pro Rest singles match.
00:22You know, he's done his work in CCW, he's done his work in DDT, but this is New Japan.
00:27You know, you gotta have a whole different energy when you step in the ring.
00:30So I'm ready to test his will. I'm ready to test his heart.
00:33You know, me being a two-time tag team champion, I know what it takes to go to the top.
00:38So I wanna see what Mao really brings to the table.
00:40I've heard a lot about him. I've heard a lot about him.
00:42He looked good today, but we're gonna see the real test tomorrow.
00:46Now, Uncle Nobu, he got some sneaky tricks up his sleeve.
00:50That Suntory Whiskey is not nothing to play with.
00:53I've been on the receiving end plenty of times.
00:55My face is still burning.
01:10What's the thing about this duo? I kinda like this guy.
01:12I love drag and die. Who doesn't?
01:14It's a substitute.
01:23Was a substitute entrant in last year's Best The Super Juniors.
01:25Went 1 and 8. Not a great run.
01:29but he won his last and he could be at the start of a streak and he beat your tag team partner in
01:35kushita by the way hey whoa whoa whoa don't bring don't bring that stuff up that was last year this
01:39is this year chris we focus on the future all right jets don't have rear view for a reason we
01:44look forward only kushita gonna do his thing tonight against the role move shoot i just did
01:49my thing in the sixth man so we only talk about the future not bringing that up but i like dragon
01:54deal this time around no skateboarding it's all business this time around so i think it's a new
02:00league
02:07shooting the great dragon kid over in dragon gate and while canemara is going to set straight to work
02:14suck the boots out on dragon though hold on always the fast start has been a favorite
02:21canemara since i think uncle noble might be jealous and honest because you know dragon die is a younger
02:27better looking version got more swag don't gotta drink no liver problems i think he's taking out
02:33his frustrations well i feel i can equate to that i mean my broadcast partner tonight is younger better
02:40looking and has much more swag than i do i like your style i like your style
02:45so having the swag cut out of him right there if i count him out
02:54well that's the game plan work over the knee
03:01dragon die is a good looking man breaks a few hearts well yoshinobu kanemaru is going to break a few
03:05kneecaps is that how they say it in japanese itai itai itai that's all
03:12yoshinobu kanemaru right now in his eighth best of the super juniors
03:18has only won his opening bout twice okay 2021 and 2023 the only times he's started this tournament
03:25with a win whether that's any consolation to dragon die right now
03:36in all of his entrance yoshinobu kanemaru has never had a positive win loss record by the end of it
03:43sometimes i think that's not the point for kanemaru he just enjoys spoiling other people's terms he just
03:49likes tearing icos he likes he likes working that meniscus he like working the pcl he likes all
03:54different parts of the knee
04:05well both knees that time at the left especially crashing into the canvas dragon diet likes a lot of
04:11high flying likes that well he likes the ddddt which is very similar to kanemaru's own deep impact
04:19back dddt off the second i didn't think dragon die is going to get up to the second at this track
04:30dragon die are going to have to lean on all that experience that dragon kid gave him by the way
04:35you want to wish send our best well wishes to from kyushu pro wrestling another dragon kid
04:43contemporary nentai kid retiring today shout out to dragon q
04:59nentai just about making the bottom rope
05:03as you're looking here you get the chance to see both a block and d block in action while you're
05:13out here ringside is this a you scout much do you game plan for these do you do much prep or is it
05:20you know as it comes i watch as the fan watch i go with my previous experiences i know kanemaru likes to
05:26work the leg i know dragon dyer likes to do a lot of high flying a lot of lucha libre and i'm just
05:31scouting out to see who i'm going against in that finals block i'm hoping it's kushida son because
05:36i've i've always been wanting he's always been by my side i think that's a true test to see if i
05:42really level it up if i can beat kushida some but kanemaru is always a threat dragon die is always a
05:48good looking prospect oh my goodness that is a rough rough predicament
05:55but listen we would eject when you choose fly ain't no challenge that's that's too big you know
06:02we always ready to step in the room with anybody any type of anybody that's stepping in the room we
06:06ready for it that's a point you made earlier on yet with no weight classes over in aew you're gonna
06:12have you're wrestling both sides of that spectrum just coming off uh that match with kazuchika
06:17akari wrestled jay white uh a little bit ago um yo i mean how are you feeling is that important for
06:24your physical status and and for your weight as well are you like right around that 95 key range right
06:31now you know you know i i it's a lot of water weight in there you know some days it's heavyweight
06:35some days i drink a little bit too many pocari sweats and i'm i'm a junior so it all depends on
06:40the day how the sun moon and stars are alive if the jet gonna be junior heavyweight heavyweight but
06:45i think anybody stepping in the ringweight i could continue with and in any type of open
06:49weight division so we'll leave that out to the future
06:54keep that in mind when the g1 climax announcements get made hey we're always looking to make history
06:59that's why i am the jet set that's why i am mr true fly that's why i am it's a double contract
07:04it's only been a couple people in the history to be able to do that it's me and tekesha center
07:09as far as my knowledge so we will keep these things going forward just like i said
07:15there we go trying to get some forward momentum and cut off right away by yoshinobu kanemaru
07:31i don't know whether it was stirring the pot whether there was anything to it
07:36shiromi takahashi was uh sort of having some fun earlier in the press conference yesterday
07:41of course and kanemaru said for his comments sure hiromi likes to talk maybe hiromi and i have
07:49something to talk about in private you know hiromi's a strange guy he can't really get a read on him
07:54what you think about hiromi well we've all been trying to get a read on hiromi takahashi for the
07:59last 10 years or so
08:03jugandai trying to put the brakes on
08:07kanemaru in here
08:15couldn't come out the corner
08:17third try underneath
08:24nicely done
08:29but just like we saw when nick wain rough landing on that drop kick but he's going to try kev
08:34he's looking to fly is that knee going to hold up
08:37all right it's academic kanemaru walking it off
08:46619 though oh
08:50hey did he get all of it i couldn't see from this angle all right he might have gotten enough
08:55south ultimo dragon yeah so you moonsault out to the floor

09:42his second campaign with his second win in a row i believe in the guy
09:48kanemaru d-d-d-d-d-t no watch that knee watch that yeah yeah yeah you're right great call buckler there
09:55kanemaru knows it shark in bloody water he's rushing over kanemaru see kanemaru from the 1900s
10:02and when for the 1900s you've been around you've seen everything dragon die i think he's a 2000s baby
10:08looked like might be a 2010 so it's still a little bit new tune
10:13that's the figure four leg lock that's before dragon die is time so
10:19but he still gets away to this to the rope there he is
10:24i think it's called the figure four leg lock because it was invented in the year 1944.
10:28oh see you just told me something right there
10:40i'm gonna take it make it british british ball
10:45and easy into the cover two and a half on diet
10:48i don't want to touch out oh inside inside cradle could be you know he got two
10:59and a half on diet
11:01trying all he can oh no
11:09going back to that move 1944 established
11:16the five vintage
11:17the ligaments dragon die's leg being broken over his other leg
11:29gonna try and turn the pressure
11:35and if he turns it around
11:36he dies but only just momentarily
11:46there he is come on dragon come on dragon dig deep dig deep
11:51there's someone kidding you you rely so much on your vertical
11:55you know i mean you must know or you must have almost the fear in the back of your mind of someone
11:59targeting those things see i've been doing a lot of research this is my third best of super juniors
12:04i'm not a young spring chicken anymore i've been there i've been done that kind of moral could
12:08target my knee we could pivot now oh this is one of the best moonsaults in the game

12:26okay oh whoa whoa oh wow he's been flipping like that an awful lot as well down goes
