00:53It was a little under one year ago
00:57when the landscape of United Empire
00:59was shipped all over again.
01:02A major figure in United Empire,
01:04a founding father in United Empire
01:06named Jeff Cobb
01:08would exit New Japan Pro Wrestling,
01:09leaving a young, angry, and pissed-off Callum Newman
01:14high and dry,
01:15forcing Newman to vacate
01:17the IWGP Tag Team Championship.
01:20But what Jeff Cobb also left
01:22in the wake of his exit and retirement
01:24from professional wrestling
01:26was, of course, a challenge
01:28that he had initially issued to Hiroki Goto
01:30for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
01:33And that is a challenge
01:34that would be steadily picked up
01:36by a young Callum Newman,
01:37a man that everyone said
01:39would not be able to get the job done.
01:41And Newman impressed
01:42in a way no one could have expected.
01:45Callum Newman!
01:51On a night where the world bet
01:53against Callum Newman,
01:54Callum Newman may not have walked away
01:56with the IWGP Heavyweight title
01:58over Hiroki Goto,
02:00but he walked away
02:01with the respect of Hiroki Goto,
02:03of President Hiroshi Tanahashi,
02:05and of New Japan Pro Wrestling itself.
02:08But a lot has changed
02:09in the last calendar year
02:11for the Prince.
02:37Hiroki Goto
02:39may not reign today
02:39as IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
02:41Never openweight six-man tag team title
02:44around the waist of Goto.
02:45But it does not matter
02:46what championship Goto does
02:48or does not hold.
02:49It is all about the result
02:50of the quarterfinal
02:51to this year's New Japan Cup.
02:53It is a battle
02:54of the new school versus the old,
02:56and the old is not going to die off yet.
02:58Goto versus Newman tonight.
03:03Goto Hiroki!
03:09A man who is no stranger
03:12to New Japan Cup competition
03:14to the quarterfinal
03:16of New Japan Cup competition.
03:18Hiroki Goto has done this song and dance
03:21many, many times in his career,
03:23but only once before
03:24has Goto managed to defeat Calum Newman.
03:27And wrestling fans,
03:28I'm going to go out on the record
03:29and say it was a very,
03:32very different Calum Newman
03:33at that point in time last year
03:35when these two men faced off
03:36in singles action.
03:40And I find it very important
03:41to reference right now
03:42the men that are standing
03:43in the corner
03:44of both Calum Newman
03:46and Hiroki Goto.
03:46Young Lion Zane J
03:48standing opposite Young Lion
03:50Tatsuya Matsumoto.
03:52And Zane J has been getting
03:54a little bit too involved
03:55in Calum Newman's round competition
03:57is the reason that Hartley Jackson
03:59fell to Calum Newman in round two.
04:02And we are going to keep our eye
04:04on the outside
04:04just as well as the end.
04:06The bell sounds.
04:06We have no time limit.
04:08One fall to a finish.
04:10Goto versus Newman two.
04:19We've been talking a lot
04:21in the last half of this event
04:22about personal bests
04:24in New Japan Cup
04:24and Calum Newman
04:25has absolutely taken this
04:27to his personal best
04:28New Japan Cup performance.
04:30Before the 2026 New Japan Cup,
04:33Calum Newman had never even
04:34made it out of the first round.
04:35Eliminated by Gabe Kidd
04:37in 2024.
04:38Eliminated by Tetsuya Naito
04:40in 2025.
04:40Both in round one competition.
04:43But it was Calum Newman
04:44who knew that
04:45this year was going to be
04:46a very, very different one
04:47whenever he managed
04:48to put down
04:49the behemoth
04:50that is Oscar.
04:51Round one to Ota.
04:54And it was
04:54well thanks to a little bit
04:56of help from
04:57United Empire's
04:58young lion Zane J
05:00that Calum Newman
05:01managed to get past
05:02another massive heavyweight
05:03in Hartley Jackson
05:04back at Osaka.
05:08It is Calum Newman
05:09and Hiroki Koto
05:09that tie up here
05:10tonight with a collar
05:11and elbow.
05:12And a very similar
05:13start to this matchup
05:14that we saw
05:15just one year ago
05:16back at Wrestling
05:16Dantaku 2025.
05:19Calum Newman
05:20I all admit
05:21and thrust into
05:22a position that
05:23many believed
05:23he had not yet earned.
05:25Not yet had the potential
05:26to even reach
05:26had Calum Newman.
05:27Calum Newman
05:28entered Fukuoka
05:29International Center.
05:30Stepped into the ring
05:32with Gotoh as IWGP
05:33heavyweight champion
05:34and proved the world
05:35wrong even in defeat.
05:37That is a very,
05:38very difficult thing
05:39to do
05:41for a 23-year-old athlete
05:42and that has certainly
05:43put a massive,
05:44massive chip
05:45on the shoulder
05:45of Calum Newman
05:46in the last calendar year.
05:48Newman has to look back
05:49at that matchup
05:49and say,
05:50why didn't the people
05:51believe in me?
05:52Why didn't the people
05:53think I had what it take
05:55to main event
05:56for the IWGP
05:57heavyweight title?
05:58Maybe I should prove
05:59that I have what it takes
06:00to main event
06:01for the IWGP
06:02heavyweight title
06:03and that is motivation
06:04that drives Calum Newman
06:05not just through
06:06this quarterfinal
06:07but into potentially
06:09Ryugoku Sumo Hall,
06:10the main event
06:11that both men fight for here
06:12against Yota Tsuji
06:13for the heavyweight championship.
06:16Calum Newman
06:17sweeps the leg right there.
06:18Whoa!
06:19And a killer instinct
06:20unlike any other
06:21right there.
06:24Oh, the shot
06:25right to the midsection.
06:27Those knees run deep
06:28in United Empire.
06:29That was almost
06:30Giant Killing-esque
06:31from Calum Newman
06:33there to Gotoh.
06:38Calum Newman
06:39wants to get
06:40this count started.
06:41Definitely has no problem
06:42finding victory
06:43by countout.
06:45And something tells me
06:46that the Calum Newman
06:47of one year ago
06:50when the heavyweight championship
06:51was on the line,
06:52he didn't want
06:53a countout victory.
06:54Calum Newman
06:54wanted to get things
06:55done the right way.
06:56Calum Newman
06:56has no interest
06:57now though
06:58in getting things
06:59done the right way.
07:00He just wants
07:01to get things done.
07:03And now
07:04to the outside again.
07:05Oh, Newman
07:06is just whipping
07:07Gotoh around
07:08post to post here.
07:16And Newman,
07:17yeah,
07:17gonna take all the time
07:18in the world here.
07:20come on,
07:21two,
07:25three,
07:26four,
07:27I mean,
07:27look at Calum Newman
07:28right now,
07:29kicking his feet back,
07:30having the time
07:31of his life here.
07:33Calum Newman
07:33is a man who
07:34had some very
07:35positive and respectful
07:37things to say
07:37about Hiroki Gotoh
07:38in post-match comments
07:39a few days ago.
07:40Said that Hiroki Gotoh
07:42used to represent
07:43everything Newman
07:43wanted to be
07:44in professional wrestling.
07:46But Newman's saying,
07:47oh,
07:47I'm striking my own path
07:48in a way that's
07:49even better.
07:50I'm gonna ascend
07:51higher than Gotoh
07:51ever did in his career.
07:54Right now,
07:54if Newman can put down
07:55Gotoh here tonight,
07:56he very well might be
07:57able to prove that point.
08:01As a Russian leg sweep
08:02right there
08:03for Calum Newman.
08:05Oh,
08:05gonna look to tie up
08:06in the clutch right now.
08:07And Newman
08:08going to utilize
08:09that left kneecap,
08:10put the pressure
08:10on the back
08:11of the neck.
08:12Gotoh holds on
08:13tight right there.
08:15And I like that.
08:16A little bit of
08:16technicality
08:17out of Calum Newman.
08:19As you can certainly
08:20feel it,
08:20Calum Newman
08:22has the gas tank
08:23to go long
08:23in this one
08:24if need be.
08:25And is going to
08:26wear down Hiroki Gotoh
08:27in the early stages
08:28of it.
08:28And that's smart
08:29professional wrestling.
08:32To the bottom rope.
08:33Hiroki Gotoh
08:34makes it.
08:35One, two, three!
08:37Move my legs.
08:39It's a submission.
08:40Come on,
08:41you move him.
08:47Hiroki Gotoh.
08:48We talked about it
08:49earlier on.
08:49No stranger
08:50to New Japan Cup
08:51competition.
08:52Seven-team time
08:53competitor
08:55in New Japan Cup.
08:57Seven-time finalist
08:58from 2009
09:00all the way up
09:00recently,
09:01two years ago,
09:032024.
09:04And Gotoh
09:05has not won
09:06a singles tournament
09:07in his career
09:07since New Japan Cup
09:092012.
09:11Hold on a minute.
09:12Hold on a minute.
09:12Gotoh, Gotoh.
09:13Got me tripping
09:14on my words here.
09:15Action.
09:16Oh, you certainly
09:16feel it.
09:17Turning up the action.
09:19Massive lariat.
09:20Clean clocks
09:21Callum Newman
09:22tonight.
09:23Hold on.
09:34Man,
09:34Hiroki Gotoh
09:35and Callum Newman
09:36here.
09:37Looking to do
09:38all within their power.
09:40As, watch it,
09:41Yoshihashi
09:41has now joined
09:42ringside here.
09:43I just thought
09:44Yoshihashi
09:45to walk right
09:45in front of us.
09:46Gotoh,
09:47big back suplex.
09:48Minamasa
09:49and the suplex combo.
09:51Cover here
09:51for Gotoh
09:52and it's
09:53two.
09:56You're going to need
09:57the entire
09:57Gotoh revolutionary
09:58army at ringside.
10:00No doubt about it.
10:02Especially with that
10:03sneak that is
10:04St. J.
10:05here at ringside.
10:07The man that
10:07tossed a steel chair
10:08into the ring
10:09distracted Hartley
10:10Jackson.
10:11Callum Newman
10:11hit a low blow
10:12on Jackson.
10:13That was how
10:13round two ended
10:14for Newman.
10:15Newman's real proud
10:16of that round two
10:17victory and you
10:18have to remember
10:18just how cheap
10:19it came.
10:23There's not anything
10:24cheap in United Empire
10:25right now though.
10:26That new money
10:27that Andrade Alidolo
10:28has brought
10:29into the force.
10:30And that money
10:31very well
10:32will be put
10:33where the mouth
10:34of Callum Newman
10:35stands today.
10:43Yeah, you saw it.
10:51Gotoh tensing up
10:52that jaw.
10:53Oh, Newman
10:55going to have to do
10:56a bit more
10:56than that here.
11:00Oh, Gotoh.
11:04This reminds me
11:05a lot of what
11:05we saw out of
11:06young Callum Newman
11:07a year ago.
11:08Oh, but a
11:10very different result
11:12here tonight
11:13for the Prince.
11:14It was Newman.
11:15It was Newman
11:16who had done
11:16just that one year
11:18ago and Dantaku
11:19wanted to earn
11:20the respect of Gotoh
11:21by eating every
11:22single one of these
11:23shots Gotoh
11:23can throw.
11:25And it's Newman
11:26who's going to
11:27strike harder
11:27in 2026.
11:28That says a lot.
11:30This says a lot, too.
11:56Now, here we go.
11:57Hiroki Gotoh
11:58up on the shoulders.
11:59One of the Ushiguroshi,
12:00Cal Newman
12:01countered it here.
12:01Big shot
12:03in the corner.
12:05Newman now
12:08driving away
12:09Gotoh.
12:10Cover.
12:11Cover.
12:12No.
12:14No.
12:22Gotoh and Newman
12:24continue to battle it out
12:25here for a spot
12:26in the final four
12:27of New Japan Cup
12:282026.
12:46Calum Newman
12:48wants that
12:49Prince's curse.
12:51Prince's curse
12:52would be a game
12:53ender here
12:53for Gotoh.
12:55Whatever it takes.
12:56Oh, you heard
12:57the pop on that one.
12:58Newman, big puff
12:59right through Gotoh.
13:01Again, Newman
13:01off the ropes.
13:02Gotoh got it.
13:03Newman strikes faster,
13:05strikes harder.
13:06Up and up
13:07and up
13:07and up.
13:09Ushiguroshi.
13:22A massive
13:23Ushiguroshi
13:24right there
13:25manages to take down
13:27Calum Newman
13:27and isolate
13:28for the time being.
13:29Gotoh needs
13:30as much time
13:31to recuperate
13:32here as possible.
13:44Gotoh.
13:45Yadamusha,
13:47the fierce warrior.
13:55Sword strike
13:56across the chest.
13:57What's the GTR, though?
13:59And Gotoh revolution
14:00could be denied.
14:01Hold on a minute.
14:03Wait a minute.
14:04Wait a minute.
14:04What's going on here?
14:06It's Zayn J.
14:07Zayn J was running
14:08a muck over in the corner
14:09and that distracted
14:10Gotoh for the time being.
14:13Gotoh trying to put
14:14the pressure back on
14:15and in now.
14:26Come on!
14:40Gotoh now on the shoulder.
14:43GTW get through
14:45with Stan
14:46to the semi-final.

15:06Gotoh!
15:07Oh!
15:16Calum Newman
15:17just planted away
15:18Hiroki Gotoh.
15:20Calum Newman

15:21defeated Gotoh
15:22in singles action.
15:25And we may be
15:26inching closer and closer
15:27as time rolls on
15:28right here.
15:28Um, nice.
15:30Cool.
