00:00All right, so I think we could say the first of three main events here coming up next.
00:13On February the 11th, the number 0.6 man title is going to be on the line.
00:19They were championships, now Harley Jackson, Yohei Oira and Zack Sabre Jr. won.
00:24Zack Sabre Jr., no stranger to gold, but it was Oira's first championship in his career.
00:31It was the first championship belt in Harley Jackson's New Japan career.
00:36An incredible moment for Big Jag.
00:4620 years removed from his New Japan Pro Wrestling debut and certainly a circuitous route at age of 45.
00:55to win his first New Japan title and yet, as great as that felt, losing it on his first defense
01:04right here in Corcoran Hall had to be incredibly painful.
01:09That's why Harley Oira and Zack Sabre Jr. wanted a rematch.
01:13They've gotten a rematch February the 11th and in advance of that rematch, three singles matches
01:21here tonight. And this is the first one. We've reinforced the ring, brother.
01:26A super heavyweight class.
01:32Big Jag versus the big man for Kazakhstan.
01:35Bolton Ola, former never-openweight champion.
01:46Beat the Alpha, Konoska-Tikester to win that championship.
01:48Bolton Ola came within a hair, or perhaps you could say came within.
02:04Being splashed through a table by Don Farley.
02:08Getting out of the block stage in the G1 Climax, only a second attempt this past summer.
02:13Bolton Ola is a beast, no doubt about it.
02:16Harley Jackson just the same experience in the advantage of Harley Jackson, the athletic
02:24British.
02:27Greekishness.
02:30In the hands of Bolton Ola.
02:43Okay, Bell Sounds going to wait.
02:4530 minutes on the clock.
02:46Special singles match up here.
02:48I've got a feeling we won't need.
02:50All 30 minutes.
02:55Cora Corona in the corner of Harley Jackson here, as these two bulls collide.
03:01Come on, let's go, okay, let's go, okay, okay, let's go.
03:08This is what we have to say, wait a second, I wasn't expecting this.
03:12Let's go outside.
03:14Okay, okay, but he just wanted a longer run up is what they wanted.
03:19Two monster trucks.
03:26There you go, there you go.
03:27Are you kidding?
03:3020 feet in the ring ain't gonna do it.
03:37No one's been inside the guardrails.
03:40I think they want that.
03:42They want that he'll get told off for that.
03:44They want the longest possible run up here.
03:47The greatest possible closing velocity.
03:51Right upstairs in Corcoran Hall.
03:53Look at that, the full width.
04:00Here we go.
04:07And he just about even on the chop exchange as well.
04:37No, no, everybody, no, no, Harley.
04:43This is a sign of Harley Jackson we haven't seen here in New Japan.
04:46Progressing, no, no, no, no, no, don't do it.
04:54Oh, God.
05:07What an impact.
05:11I don't think I've ever seen anything like that.
05:15Harley Jackson took an awful spell.
05:22Over the Corcoran Hall seats here.
05:24Jackson, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
05:30Sida Jackson, we haven't seen here in New Japan.
05:33Sida, I think, and Bolton we haven't seen.
05:41Bolton and Hartley for a long, long time.
05:45In six-man, eight-man, ten-man tag team matches, it's so often come down to Hartley and Bolton.
05:53Come on, come on, come on, come on.
05:56And always, in that fight, they wanna prove who is the best big man here in New Japan Bro Wrestling.
06:07Who is the best in this bubble of the Super Heavyweights?
06:12B.O.S.H.
06:14Boss is right?
06:16I saw that shot into the guardrail.
06:34One of the Young Lion attendants at ringside took its spell as well.
06:39Area of effect, I think everybody's caught in it.
06:42This has been a chaotic night from opening bell to here in this first of three singles matchups.
06:54Okay, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
06:56Hartley.
07:00And down goes Bolton.
07:12And Bolton is hurt.
07:18Who wouldn't be?
07:22You clearly see it here.
07:26But Hartley Jackson finally, finally won his first championship here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
07:33I think we're really seeing in this matchup just how much that title meant to him.
07:37He's softly spoken, as he always is.
07:41And as he was yesterday on commentary.
07:44He's letting it all be unleashed here against the big man from Kazakhstan.
07:52Oh, and Bolton summoning up the vertical supplé.
08:16The people's Bolton down across the chest.
08:24The flying body sausage hook of the leg.
08:26And Hartley Jackson just kicks out.
08:32Stanley Bolton has never wanted back down from a fight.
08:35Was licking his chops at the prospect of this one.
08:38That never operate six-man championship win in Corrine Hall a couple of weeks ago.
08:44A fantastic, fantastic match.
08:46Really showed exactly what the never 0.6-man championship should be.
08:50Oh, and here's the brute force and strength of Bolton.
08:56But with all the damage done to the back, thanks to Hartley.
09:00Not getting anywhere there.
09:01Fluttering, Larry.
09:15You can see the ill effects on both these men.
09:18An awful lot taken out of them.
09:21Oh, and a lot more being taken out of Bolton.
09:24With that sense on Kroskin and still is up and he's caught him around the waist.
09:30My other sake.
09:31Yeah.
09:33Yeah.
09:34Bruce.
09:35My God, what a freak.
09:43The freaks in the pizza here in Corrine Hall.
09:46Open the shoulders.
09:56No, Kamikaze denied.
09:58Oh, what a German suplex.
10:00Okay, go.
10:03Joke.
10:06Underneath again.
10:08Oh, that was ugly.
10:10Jackson on the Royal One and Larry got caught here.
10:34Wow.
10:36Papa Higgs.
10:36Watch him fly.
10:37former amateur great who was willing for a knee injury.
10:44And Bolton would have been in the Olympics in 2021.
10:50And wow, they're willing to want to.
10:56They're willing to want to for both men, for Hartley, but
11:00overcome by Bolton, Kamikaze, short range, could be enough, could be enough.
11:06Bolton thought it was enough, it wasn't enough on the cover.
11:10And Hartley has kicked out again.
11:13And there's no doubt Jackson is slowed and shaken, but
11:18he still wants more from Bolton.
11:22And there's no doubt Jackson is slowed and shaken, but
11:26he still wants more from Bolton.
11:31Jackson knocked to the ropes here, but
11:36the distance conducive to that high cross, the center on, Jesus Christ.
11:40What an impact, just squirming up.
11:42And there's no doubt Jackson is slowed and shaken, but
11:45he still wants more from Bolton.
11:48Jackson knocked to the ropes here, but
11:50the distance conducive to that high cross, the center on, Jesus Christ.
11:53What an impact, just squashed, squashed Bolton like a giant Kazakh bug.
12:10And still, the Kazakh least kicks out.
12:15Massive lariat, gets him again into the cover.
12:23This time, Bolton kicks out at one.
12:25What a war this has been.
12:40And insanely vicious ten minutes, that is a brutal headbutt.
12:52Whoa.
12:55Whoa.
12:57Whoa.
13:02Whoa.
13:06Whoa.
13:08And he baited him in, that get belly bomb, the jacket edge for Jackson.
13:13Oh, it nearly, it's so, so nearly.
13:16And if Jackson had been able to hook the legs, it would have been.
13:19That was almost Zack Sabre Jr-esque.
13:24What is that?
13:25In terms of beating, Bolton in with a headbutt, and
13:30caught him with that DVD.
13:32What a dropkick, but Jackson's still up.
13:38Jackson's still up, but maybe not for much longer.
13:43Can he get him out the corner?
13:48No, instead.
13:50Instead, Jackson, in a position he's not highly familiar with,
13:55right on the top rope.
13:56We did reinforce the ring, right, boys?
14:00Come on, come on.
14:01Harley Jackson's already broken one in his career.
14:05Come on, come on.
14:06No, no, no.
14:07For the top four.
14:08Oh.
14:09Jackson's out.
14:09Jackson's out.
14:10Jackson's out.
14:11Come on, come on.
14:12Come on, come on, come on.
14:14Come on, come on.
14:15No, no, no, no, for the top four.
14:17No, no, no.
14:19Whoa.
14:21Jackson's out.
14:24The first to cover of the Superplex.
14:27How in the world?
14:30Surely not much longer, there'll be no answer for that.
14:46Kamikaze, balls in her legs, done.
14:57Good Lord, that was two drunk, one through, all progressing right there.
15:17And Bolton has gotten the first win of this little three-match series we've got here tonight.
15:31In 12 minutes, Bolton-Orek選手's勝利.
15:35Maybe the 11th, it's all about the Nevo Opo X6s, but...
