00:00I don't like that guy that just walked past us to the Japanese commentary table
00:05Oh well, you've got a boat to pick with him
00:08They're rubbing salt in the wound over here Walker
00:10Oh well, Toriyano will join the Japanese Broadcaster
00:18Francesco Akira has no regrets from his last Best of the Super Junior Contest
00:26It is a match that ended with Francesco Akira down, but certainly not physically, just in the points
00:35Akira losing out to Clark Connors via disqualification
00:39Akira pushed over the edge by the War Dogs in Clark Connors
00:43The trauma from that Dogtown steel cage being hung out to try just over a year ago
00:49Akira has just manifested for a year later with Francesco Akira
00:54Led to the loss at the hands of Red Shizuno
00:57It's Clark Connors on 10 points tonight
00:59Francisco Akira
01:10He shot me a little look just before he went up onto the dirtbuckles
01:14It was a little cheeky hello like I gave him when he was on commentary with you
01:18Which by the way, how did he not understand that bit I was doing?
01:21You got it straight away, congratulations, well done to you
01:24Thank you
01:25This kid just continues to prove how young he is and naive
01:28But let's talk about what he did
01:31He really undid all the great work he had been doing in this tournament
01:36By getting so mad at Clark Connors
01:38And you would have thought after that Dogtown steel cage match
01:42It's a hard word to say, hard few words to say
01:44After that match you thought that this would have been done
01:46But there is still plenty of PTSD
01:48Because Wrestle Kingdom this year
01:51Wardogs were still involved in what should have been a three-way
01:54All things considered
01:57So constantly the War Dogs and Bullet Club have been a thorn in Akira's side
02:02He's not gotten rid of that past yet
02:05I think he still needs to overcome Clark Connors and the War Dogs
02:10And it hasn't come from the Super Juniors
02:16That's not the way you want to see someone end their own tournament
02:19Oh, you're absolutely right about that
02:21Well, Francesco Akira knows that his best Super Junior days
02:25Are as closely done as you can find them
02:28We're going to talk about the potential point standing for Akira and Kushida
02:31Who are basically on life support in Best Super Junior right now
02:35Not down and out officially
02:37But as close as one can get
02:39Tension here between Tajiri's boys
02:56Yep, that is absolutely a topic of conversation coming into tonight
03:01The student of Tajiri's from maybe a decade or so ago
03:10Probably over that actually
03:11And to one more recent
03:20I'll tell you what Walker
03:21Kushida has been revitalized in this year's Best Super Junior
03:25I have to agree with you
03:26It has been a hell of a run for Kushida so far
03:31And it will come to an end tonight one way or another
03:35And it will not come with true victory in block A
03:40But still alive, still with potential for a four and five way tie
03:45Are both Kushida and Francesco Akira here
03:47And it is not a huge likelihood we see it come
03:51But should it be the case
03:53These two men are going to fight like hell to make sure they're involved in that four or five way
03:56Oh absolutely
03:57Oh
03:58Wow
03:59Taking a page out of a book I know very well
04:00Oh yeah
04:01From Francesco Akira huh
04:03Tiger feint kick on the apron
04:06Whoa
04:07Oh boy chop
04:08It's a strong chop
04:10Yeah I hear it
04:16Francesco Akira so frustrated
04:18Was bloody beat and battered by Clark Connors
04:21But the referee was taken out of the matchup inadvertent from Connors
04:25And now
04:26Francesco Akira was about to get his own shots in on Clark Connors
04:30Before Red Shoes came down to replace Marty Asami
04:33Clark Connors was allowed to bloody up Francesco Akira
04:36Akira couldn't even hit Connors with a single weapon
04:39Because Red Shoes was there
04:40So
04:42Akira would rather end his best of the Super Junior run
04:46One that went all the way to near the very end
04:49To the very end
04:52And get his own vengeance on Connors
04:54I'm sure that's not going to be the last time we talk about that
04:56In the next coming weeks
04:57As
04:58Akira on the outside
04:59Kushita back on the in
05:01And
05:02I think it's still affecting his mindset today though
05:04He came out real hot and heavy against Kushita
05:06A man that he doesn't really have any beef with
05:08He just has something to prove
05:10But clearly he's upset at himself
05:13And he's taking it out of Kushita
05:14And that's probably making him not stick to a game plan
05:17That's making him wrestle with emotion
05:20Which sometimes is good
05:21But only when you get deep into these strong matches
05:24Not right from the first gong
05:27Definitely something to prove here tonight for Francesco Akira
05:31One previous singles match between these two men
05:34And back last year's best of the Super Junior
05:36And it was Kushita that got the better of Akira
05:38Before Akira faced that knee injury that took him out of the tournament entirely
05:42Oh how unfortunate that that happened right before he had to wrestle
05:47It's almost like he was a little scurred
05:49I said this tournament best of Super Junior 32 revitalization of the time splitter Kushita
06:01But in all honesty I see some people online kind of trashing Kushita in the past
06:07He has been an old timer every time
06:10He has never dropped his game
06:13And he is one of the pioneers of this style you see in the junior heavyweight division today
06:18I think that gets forgotten a little bit with the new blood that comes in year after year
06:23But technique for technique Kushita is one of the best on the mat and always will be
06:28Yeah multiple time best of the Super Junior
06:31And IWGP Junior heavyweight champion for a reason
06:34Kushita hoping for a five-way tie tonight
06:37And must advance with a victory over Francesco Akira
06:41If that is to be the case
06:43Of course we keep talking about these multi-way ties
06:46And let's I mean put into I don't have the exact numbers in front of me
06:49But you know one through five percent chance of potentially taking place here tonight
06:54Are these multi-way tie break situations
06:57Kushita wants to put himself in opportunity if that were to come
07:03And I mean this is really Kushita's MO right here
07:06You can talk to me about this a lot as a technician yourself
07:09What you talk about Kushita innovating in the technical game
07:12We're seeing it now
07:13He finds a weak point and he goes to town on it
07:16And he knows what techniques he is best at
07:20So that's what he focuses on
07:22And that's a cover for Akira
07:24Folded in and will force separation at two
07:27You know it wasn't too long ago
07:29Francesco Akira joined me in the English booth in Osaka
07:32Talked about his match with Kushita last year
07:34Talked about his match with El Desperado
07:37At the 53rd anniversary event
07:39Those matches being ones that he felt were critical to forcing him
07:42Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
07:44Burning in between the fingers on the rope
07:46We haven't seen that before
07:47But there you go Kushita
07:49Reinventing the wheel like he always does
07:51Yeah that's exactly
07:52Sorry to cut you off
07:53Oh you're right
07:54I mean that's exactly where you want to be if you are Kushita
07:56But you know on further point here
07:58Francesco Akira said those battles with Kushita and El Desperado
08:01Were turning points in forcing him to innovate that submission move
08:05That ground tarantula
08:06Thanks to his mentor from All Japan and Tajiri
08:10And it's done wonders for him since he's brought it out in this tournament
08:14Submitting Hiromu Takahashi in a main event in Corican Hall
08:18That is an impossible feat
08:20Special
08:21Tapped out Robbie X pretty quickly with it when he caught him
08:28Talk about it another impressive run in Super Junior's Robbie X who's coming up in the main event right
08:33Yeah we'll be seeing Robbie X take on Hiromu Takahashi hopefully
08:37Spoiler here tonight for Robbie X as here's Akira looking to take it over the top
08:42To the outside
08:47That side has been disastrous from the last match to now because the sound that Kushita's head made bouncing off the concrete
08:55He did not catch the mat at all
08:57I'm surprised he's even still moving
08:59He's so cute when he screams
09:03He's so cute when he screams
09:10Francesco Akira looking to take this one to the top
09:15And instead Kushida the handspring gonna find the better of Akira here
09:20Oh yeah the left heel caught him right in the center of the top of his head
09:26Going straight to the arm
09:33And we know how much Kushida loves the hoverboard block
09:37The target of that arm of that shoulder would do Kushida wonders but he can't capture it
09:42If he can't capture it Akira on the cross body
09:45And it's only two for Francesco
09:48Such a picturesque cross body by Akira there in all these matches
09:52And trying to stay on the run of it victory roll
09:57Shot through the heart
10:00And right through the center goes Francesco Akira
10:03It's clutching out that elbow though it's giving him some grief
10:06And aloha Akira moonsault cover
10:11Two
10:14You gotta be careful with techniques like that moonsault though
10:17We've seen people like in the G1 last year
10:21Yu-ya with the splash
10:23Very similar to a moonsault
10:24Yup
10:25Didn't have a hurt elbow before it but sure it was hurt afterwards
10:28It's already ailing you Akira maybe don't go for that body splash
10:32But you get into a rhythm
10:34You get into a tempo of what works in succession
10:38What you've done before in previous matches especially when you pulled out of victory
10:42Oh Akira Akira
10:44Good sweep into the schoolboy pin there
10:46Slight rolling elbow
10:50Slight rolling elbow
10:51Oh super kick Akira
10:53And aloha
10:55Wari
10:56Wipes out Kushida
10:57Hey that emotion I was talking about before
11:01Really working for Akira
11:03Might be driving
11:04Oh
11:05I've been hit with that exact same predicament from Kushida before
11:13That's when you know you've still got him though
11:17He's not able to keep the clutch on the leg
11:19And go straight into the pinfall
11:21He has to release
11:22There's enough to counter
11:23Not enough to capitalize
11:24If anything that's gonna boost Akira's confidence even though he's gonna have to shake out some cobblets
11:30They're duking it out this is what you would call having a biff back home
11:44Bring back the biff
11:47Now I'm excited for State of Origin
11:51Straight palm strike right in the ear
12:01Oh Kushida in his MO in his element
12:04Watch it now tilt the world
12:06No no no
12:08Here we go
12:09Akira caught it
12:11Speed fire
12:12Speed fire for Akira
12:14The cover for Francesco
12:18And it's two
12:21The speed
12:23Francesco Akira
12:25One of the fastest in the junior heavyweight division today
12:29Really just puts his foot on that accelerator
12:32And he goes all the way to the floor
12:36Boom from 0 to 100
12:38The glue that has been holding together United Empire for the better part of the year
12:42Has been Francesco Akira
12:44Does not want to go out on a loss
12:47And a fireball
12:49No Kushida underneath
12:50And right to the legs
12:57That subterfuge from Kushida
12:59It's been working on your arm the whole match and then he goes down low
13:02Oh no no no
13:03Akira
13:04Akira
13:05They're gonna set up right into the ground
13:07From Kushiri to Akira
13:09No no no no
13:11Wait a minute backslide
13:12Cover
13:13Two
13:14Kushida backslide Akira back out
13:16Super kick right on the
13:21Oh I caught that one
13:26Out of the corner
13:28No no no
13:29Kushida caught
13:30Hoverboard rock
13:31He's got pressure on the wrist
13:35He's just gonna keep talking
13:40He's got to clutch that hand
13:42Lacing over the elbow
13:44Akira isn't gonna change
13:46Akira looking for it if we can find
13:49Oh my gosh
13:50Ground tarantula
13:52Ground tarantula650
13:54He's not quite in the same position
13:56There he goes
13:57And that's it
13:58It's over
13:59Akira wins
14:00Akira wins
14:0110分後のフランシスコアキラ選手は5勝4敗勝ち点10
14:19福島選手は4勝5敗勝ち点8で
14:22それぞれベストオブザスーパージュニア
14:24Aブロック公式戦全日程終了となります
14:31フランシスコアキラ選手の勝利です
14:39Franчесco Akira sits on 10 points
14:48to close out his best of the super junior run
14:52And a win return to Francesco Akira
14:55off of last year's best of the super junior tournament
14:58These two men are 1 and 1
14:59I wouldn't mind seeing it one more time, Robbie.
15:01Yeah, they gotta have the rubber match now.
15:03But when does it happen?
15:05Is it a year from now in next year's tournament?
15:08There's plenty of opportunities for Akira to call his shot,
15:13but I think before he gets back to Kushida,
15:15he's gotta finish the job with Mark Connors.
15:18Retribution on his mind,
15:22finishes on ten points,and like you mentioned,
15:25there's still a chance,right?
15:27It's some Steinemath bullshit.
15:31It's definitely a way that he can pull it out.
15:39What else to happen for him to make the finals?
15:42Everyone needs to get set on fire as they make their entrance,
15:45and not have a match at all?
15:47We'll break that down as we head through the rest of the best of Super Junior 32.
15:51We're getting right into your next one.
15:53Master Watto on ten points,
15:55Face it off against Yoshida Bucanamaru at six.
15:59Ooh.
16:01obsesium and Kakao-kakao-kakao-kakao.
16:06We'll be right back at Jaca Paz.
16:07Face it off against NXT.
16:08�Bujanamaru is based on the best of the best of the best of the best of the best of the best.
16:11Face it off against NXT
16:19Bk5-Kakao-kakao-kakao.
16:21He's not the best of the best of the best of the best as they make up against NXT.
