04:14June 23rd and he was the better man back on June 23rd
04:18Kalm Newman put down Taichi right here in Corkton Hall
04:25and we'd like to say remind everybody that the finals and semi-finals coming up
04:29August 16th and 17th is just on your screen
04:31Ariake Coliseum NJPW1972.com
04:34Click the banner at the top wherever you are in the world
04:36Make Ariake and G1 Final Weekend the highlight of your trip to Japan
04:41And this is a lot of what we saw back in that Corkton Hall matchup
04:51The question is for how long can it last for either one of these men
04:59I think it can last a very very long time
05:02I go back to Taichi and Kota Ibushi back in the 2020 right at the end of the block in Ryogoku
05:08And it was about 15 minutes solely of leg kicks
05:12Right
05:14We have a 30 minute time limit
05:16We'll be well within it here
05:18If things keep on track for how they've been
05:20Going back and forth really out of LaBelle here
05:29Almost like trading these these headshots and strong kicks and there's a heavy one
05:39And I will probably see Urumura and OIWA trading wrist locks
05:45Later on in this night they're trading these heavy chess kicks
05:49Almost like in those opening moves of physical chess
05:55You can see it here right in front of you Chris
06:05And whether it's on the screen or not right now
06:08That right knee also heavily taped up
06:11Underneath directly that knee hat
06:13That's gonna be the predominant knee or predominant leg rather
06:17That Newman is gonna throw those kicks with
06:19And that's something you gotta keep in mind as you try and strategize
06:22How do I attack Taichi in this battle
06:24Well and I think that goes for a lot of reasons
06:27A lot of wrestlers that's why they choose to wear long tights
06:30You know I mean there's a reason why Taichi doesn't disrobe until later in the matchup
06:34And you know in that he could have a wrapped up knee
06:37Hadded up a leg or whatever
06:39And he just doesn't want to show it so why should you
06:42It's that trade-off of having more motion with short tights
06:46You can keep things under wraps
06:50Oh but I think that's the leg or that's the back giving way
06:54And the pivot man that is heavy
06:56That is heavy
06:58Now watch this though
06:59Newman right back
07:00No, no, no, it is not going to happen that simply
07:04Yeah maybe more guts than brains in that situation
07:11It's been gutsy performances all throughout this tournament for both of these men
07:15Taichi, Taichi
07:17Well Newman will have his supporters
07:19Oh Taichi
07:21Taichi might have just lost a couple
07:23Taichi
07:25And at the end of the day
07:27Now a little bit of savagery for Callum Newman
07:30And that's really exactly
07:32What United Empire was set up
07:34Was carved out
07:35To Duke
07:36A bunch of killers
07:38Street fighters
07:40Underneath Will Osprey
07:41And underneath Will Osprey
07:42I think Callum Newman needs to tap into that attitude if he's going to survive Taichi tonight
07:46Yeah, especially knowing it is not just surviving Taichi
07:49But it is staying alive in G1 Climax this year
07:52The loser is Dunn-Alp-Nada
07:55Oh!
07:57Oh!
07:58Yep, yep
07:59Dun-Alp-Nada
08:00And a sudden shock like that to the system
08:02From Taichi to Callum Newman
08:04And Newman's body is stiff on the canvas right now
08:08You get a good look at that
08:09The body stiffens up after a headshot like that
08:20There's a lot of cause for concern
08:22Certainly that concern is had here by referee Kenta Sato
08:26Yeah, Kenta Sato
08:27Great officiating
08:28Stepping in there
08:29Just making sure
08:31And it would come down to Kenta Sato's discretion
08:34Oh my goodness
08:35Well, now we might see if there's any wrap on those legs or anything like that
08:48Cause I think Taichi's feeling that it might be time to disrobe
08:51Well, Newman very well feeling otherwise here
08:57Barely
09:06Wow
09:07That's heavy disrespect
09:08Yeah, that's going to deny Taichi the pleasure but
09:11An immediate snap jab
09:14Oh, well
09:16Yeah, that's an eye for an eye right there
09:18And that KT tape is going to be going goodbye courtesy of Taichi
09:23And he's treading on Superman's cape and he's ripping Taichi's trousers off
09:27Pretty much equivalent evidently
09:29Yeah, Newman may believe that he's made a cryptid night tonight
09:34But
09:35Taichi to prove otherwise
09:36Arm up
09:37Newman swipes away that arm
09:40Got the pump through
09:41Taichi
09:42Oh, he just
09:43Backdrop
09:44Oh, there is nothing worse for a damaged back like Newman has right now
09:48And now Taichi on the cover full pressed still just two
09:57Wow
10:01Look at the difference in confidence level of Taichi wrestling Kalem tonight when he did in that play-in matchup
10:11Wow
10:11That one more eight seconds
10:15Wow but again, there's no power, there's no power there
10:18I think Taichi knows he has both the mental and the physical edge Black Mephisto
10:23Oh wait a minute Newman
10:25Oh right to the midsection of Taichi
10:28Second time that roundhouse swing with the right has been what saved
10:35Callum Newman
10:36And there's a history walk of rib issues with Taichi
10:41We're in his G1 a few years ago
10:43And I think that was a shock
10:45I want to say to the maybe the third rib on the left side
10:50Yeah that Taichi is clutching here
10:57And now gonna size him up now he's got an opening
11:00Now he's got an opening Walker
11:02Yeah I mean Newman
11:03It's the difference between how much space you create and how much you really need
11:07And Newman needs a lot right now but
11:10You cannot allow too much for your opponent either
11:14Oh well I don't think this is the altogether the smartest course of action
11:18You've got the man down
11:20It would be better to try and exploit that weakness
11:23Or
11:24He's thinking if he can hit the double stomp
11:27He can really do a number on him
11:29Here we go
11:30Whoa whoa
11:31He does it
11:32Callum Newman right into those ribs again here
11:35You see Taichi clutching on that left side you mentioned earlier on Chris
11:39That's gonna make it really hard to breathe in every way
11:43Cover here for Newman for two points
11:46Not enough
11:48I want to say it was back in 2021
11:51It was Taichi was just about to put things together
11:54And then suffered that rib injury
11:56Just really was gassed all the way through the back half of the tournament
12:01And Taichi
12:05He has never before in his career
12:08Ever had a positive win-loss record in G1 Climax competition
12:12If Callum beats Taichi today
12:14Well then it won't happen in 2025 either
12:17Taichi has never come close it
12:20And we have seen in this G1
12:22Watch now dangerous
12:24Brought out
12:25Oh and right to the mid again
12:26Newman is locked in on the target here Chris
12:28Oh can he firebolt
12:31Oh and got it
12:32Firebolt driven
12:34But the impact that just put on the back of a young Callum Newman
12:39The weight of the world too much to handle
12:41It's a cover
12:42Could it be?
12:43No
12:44Do you want to?
12:47No
12:48Go
12:51Go
12:53Go
12:57Go
12:59Go
13:09Go
13:10Go
13:14これまでで終わりましたいたいね。
13:16できるとコークリームは初めの場所だったけど...
13:18よく見られるときは一度見られるでしょ。
13:20最後のゲーワンだったけど。
13:22ま、少し見られるときは見られるのは cannotあります。
13:25なしだら、逆にいるか。
13:26ただは完全に見られるか。
13:26ああ!
13:28いいよー!
13:29ああ!
13:29いいよ!
13:30ああ!
13:31良いよ!
13:32お前、と同じなんで!
13:34の理由が持ち込まれるか、
13:35そして、誰もどもしているか。
13:36バッグバッグの人に…
13:39でも、今の hoping…
13:40でバッグの人類の風にも
13:42塞を着きて、
13:42シューズディングリアー
13:47シューズディングリアー
13:57ジジューズチューズ
13:59トンヌーニングリアー
14:12Burning Lariat for the cover for the two points
14:18Callum Newman still alive in this year's tournament
14:23but maybe only for minutes more right now Chris Charlton
14:27Taichi is continuing the onslaught
14:29barely barely barely still in this one
14:32I mean we've got a good look in the eyes of Callum Newman there
14:36and not much life behind them
14:38Spit in the eye
14:45Now going for the ride
14:52No,no lands out on his feet
14:54Newman right through the minute of Taichi again
14:57Well you gotta do absolutely anything you can
15:00If you got a Newman in this situation
15:02Throw mud in the eyes
15:04Go back to any single weakness you create
15:06Went to those ribs
15:09Let's see what's coming here
15:13Newman out
15:14Oh
15:20Feeling it
15:22Poison Rana
15:23Taichi back up though
15:25Taichi still on the stand
15:27But for how long
15:28Oh
15:29Right to the rib
15:31Right to the rib again
15:32And Newman still on the kill
15:34Krigis is
15:35Krigis is
15:36Krigis is
15:36Krigis is
15:37Kars
15:38He got it just like
15:39He's how he beat him last month
15:40But he can't get to the cover
15:43No, slower on the draw right now
15:44To find a definitive decision in Taichi
15:47Taichi won't even stay down
15:49It is denial
15:51Thank you
15:53Taichi
15:54Taichi
15:55Taichi
15:58Taichi
16:00Taichi
16:01Taichi
16:02Taichi
16:03B bien!B bien!B bien!B bien!B bien!!
16:25oh man he got ahold of it he got ahold of it
16:31callum newman survives in g1 climax
16:40wow
16:46it is the first elimination we'll see on the night
16:55the lord only knows chris and it's not going to be the last
17:00taichi officially eliminated at six points courtesy of the man that he has yet to defeat
17:07callum newman wins tonight
17:13a few brackets brackets have been busted here tonight
17:22you know there was aspects here we saw it in the attitude of callum newman over the course of this match walker
17:28newman got an awful lot of hate for being the man that put tai chi out of the g1 climax back in june
17:34he's gonna get an awful lot of hate for putting tai chi out of the g1 climax here in august
17:40you know what helen's human saying here tonight i don't give a damn in fact i embrace that hate as well as perhaps he should
17:47but karen newman unlikely as it may be moves up to eight points tai chi is now out
17:54and well maybe tai chi can end his campaign with a little bit of added vengeance against bolton oleg coming up in a few days in good
18:02well meanwhile the tournament is done and over for tai chi at least when it comes to a playoff home but still alive is calum newman what a very tough challenge coming up against yota suji coming up on august 10th
18:24i am very very concerned about the state of calum newman's spine heading into battle against the chief blacks on august 10th
