00:53Every single time that we have seen Shota Umino battle against Zack Sabre Jr.
00:59In singles competition, the conversation always comes back to Shota Umino's development
01:05as a professional wrestler.
01:07Well developed when he knocked Zack Sabre Jr. out of New Japan Cup 2023.
01:12When he knocked off Sabre Jr. in G134 and in G135, Shota Umin
01:17o has beaten Zack Sabre Jr.
01:19In every single tournament challenge the two men have had against one another.
01:25A 3-3 record walking into here tonight.
01:29Shota Umino has never been more complete than we see right here before us.
01:33And it is on Umino's shoulders here, just as it was in the Tokyo Dome one
01:38year ago,
01:39just as it was in the G1 last year, on the shoulders of Shota Umino to
01:44put down the measuring stick
01:46and hit the semi-final of New Japan Cup for the second year in a row.

03:072-time winner of new japan cup in years prior every four years zag saber jr has
03:13won the new japan cup
03:14and we're on year four here tonight we're going to talk all about it saber jr versus
03:19umano 2026
03:20quarter final match
03:41it is shota umano versus zack saber jr the seventh singles matchup between these two
03:49men
03:49in their respective careers dating back to the year of 2019 when shota umano was still donning
03:56the
03:56black trunks as a young lion on the co-branded new japan and ring of honor
04:00events in cork and hall
04:02zack saber jr first put down shota umano and from as low profile as a co
04:08-branded ring of honor event
04:09in 2019 to the tokyo domain event in 2025 saber jr and show to umano no
04:16stranger to one another
04:16and you're going to see it all on the line now show to umano whoa whoa whoa real
04:21early into the cover
04:22here saber jr and umano want to be able to steal it the deeper that this matchup
04:27goes you have to
04:28wonder the person that it really starts to benefit right now we might not be getting deep whatsoever
04:33the main event oh nearly comes to a close and we are off to hot paces here
04:40no no no
04:41i don't know what's a fucking thing you moron
04:43okay
04:44no no no no
04:47huh yeah you fucking taught me that
04:49huh who taught you that
04:58already into the conversation about development zach saber jr posturing who taught you that
05:04we said in the main event of the tokyo dome january 4th whenever zach saber j
05:08r defended the
05:09iwgp heavyweight title against shoto umano 43 minutes 44 seconds in the toky
05:13o dome
05:14that it was the education of shoto umano's life and shoto umano more so took
05:20it as a public
05:20humiliation it was a loss that really sent shoto umano on a downward spiral would go on
05:27one month
05:28later to lose a match to great okan and osaka one month down the line from that would
05:32return for
05:33new japan cup 2025 with a shaven head and no color left in the personality of shoto
05:38umano
05:39now you see one year down the line that well that head no longer shaved the color back into
05:43life and eyes of shoto here in a professional wrestling ring but does that mean that shoto um
05:49ano
05:49has what it takes to put zach saber jr down again here in a way that he failed to
05:54when he's challenged
05:54for championship gold time and time again
06:02is the education of a lifetime for any athlete whenever they step in the ring with zach saber jr
06:10but for shoto umano it's always been
06:14more highlighted more of a fisheye lens on shoto umano in high profile situations and does
06:20that come
06:20from the family name that shoto umano holds well potentially so does that come from being dubbed
06:26one of the three rewa musketeers all the way in the years back well maybe but
06:32right now the
06:32conversation can't surround any of that it has to be about the modern day in the modern era it
06:36cannot
06:37be about the tokyo dome it cannot be about g1 losses for zach saber jr either
06:41in the past few years
06:43it has to focus on what happens right here in the big pallet live in fukushima
06:48and the quarterfinal of new japan cup 2026 rolls on right here
06:56made reference to it earlier on in the night two-time winner of new japan cup was zach
07:01saber jr entered his very first new japan cup tournament back in the year of 2018 and managed
07:07to defeat hiroshi tanahashi in the final in nagaoka to claim his first trophy
07:11here at njpw four years
07:13down the line in 2022 would put down tetsuya naito at osaka joe hall
07:18to call himself yet again
07:20a winner of new japan cup trophy gold and well if zach saber jr is continuing to stack
07:27new japan
07:27cup final victories like u.s presidential elections well he's gonna have to hope for a victory here
07:32every four years says zach saber jr and if luck's gonna be on his side 2018 to 2022
07:382022 now turns to
07:402026 and the pressure is going to be deepened on right now as umano really keep it
07:45in on this
07:46cravat position and you're not going to be able to take umano out of that spot unless
07:51you are
07:51saber jr himself once again umano holds on tight
07:58watch the eyes of zach saber jr and watch where they dart
08:03watch how technical zach gets inside the ring we talk about
08:06off the best technical wrestler in the world saber jr defeated riohei oiwa
08:10in the second round said i'm not the best technical wrestler in the world i'm the best
08:16professional wrestler in the world
08:22very very few men have been able to prove zach saber jr wrong
08:34had a conversation with zach saber jr earlier on in the night i asked where his head's at
08:38walking into this match with shoto umano zach said well i'm not as much worried about winning
08:43the final of new japan cup 2026 as i am about winning the semi-final because
08:48every time i've
08:49been in the final it's been a guaranteed victory for me two-time finalist two-time
08:53winner says zach
08:54saber jr and the numbers are not going to lie in that equation if zach saber jr wins
08:59the
08:59quarterfinal here wins the semi-final match coming up on march 20th in the mind
09:04of zach
09:04saber he's already won new japan cup 2026.
09:10final match more so for mallet
09:18shoto umano knows what it's like to compete in the final and lose something that zach
09:22saber jr has never done in his career it was shoto umano who would fall to dav
09:27id finley
09:27one year ago in the 2025 new japan cup and it was on that night where david fin
09:34ley tried to corrupt
09:35the mind of our young shoto umano david finley said there is a light a dark
09:40path that you can take not
09:41just in the sport of pro wrestling but in life itself
09:45finley claimed that his position would be the correct one and well on the night it was
09:50shoto umano would not lose a step would not lose an ounce of that light
09:54would continue to build and build and build back to the position a rehabilitory g1 climax we
09:59saw in
10:00g135 that really just reshaped the image of shoto umano alongside an incredible tag
10:06team pairing with
10:07you in the late stages of 2025.
10:13and right now yeah show to umano he's got to try it
10:19really turn things around here zach saber jr has him tied 10 ways to sunday and really
10:25torquing at that right arm that right shoulder all those ligaments connected up and down and the
10:30separation from marty asami and it's going to bring this one back to the break
10:46this is the level difference dickhead
10:48oh i'm starting to think zach saber jr already believes he's won this new japan cup
10:55that this match with shoto umano might even be a formality
11:03good lord
11:10tearing apart the pectoral muscles is shoto umano now on saber jr
11:15oh but really trying to disengage that right arm and that right arm going to be the predominant
11:21side for shoto umano to hit those strikes with and sabre jr is going to have
11:25it towards it here tonight
11:31watch it show time trying to get the hips underneath them zach saber though no i thought
11:36yeah show to thought that zach was going for a suplex on his side leaned in to try and
11:41block it
11:41and what does zach saber do he locks the guillotine in and that's something beautiful
11:46that's something that you just cannot teach it's an instinct that zach saber jr lives with
11:52and shota going to land that suplex anyway because that's the man that shoto umano
11:59is
12:15so
12:27this crowded coreyama here tonight we're live in the big palette show to umano certainly has
12:33these fans
12:33behind him right here right now all the battles that we've seen between sabre jr and um
12:41ano
12:41shoto umano has beaten zach saber jr in every single tournament match they have ever had in
12:46their
12:46careers g134 new japan cup 2023 g135 that's going to be the list there
12:54as umano big suplex with the bridge for the cover two
13:03when the pressure has been on in championship competition
13:07has been where things have been awfully different between umano and saber jr
13:13the iwgp world heavyweight title going to be the most famous of that encounter
13:18the njpw world television championship in rio goku that was about three years ago
13:22and we saw saber jr defeat umano oh and again the snap on that right arm we talked
13:30about saber jr
13:30needing to target the predominant throwing arm of umano as he dropped toehold for shota turns
13:36it
13:36around here watch it aggression aggression urgency denied zach saber whoa hung up in the top rope there
13:47he wanted his hands on that right arm and he's got it
14:00it is shota umano who defeated chase owens in round one to make his way to this
14:06point in the tournament
14:07defeated utro takahashi in round two back in nagoya and had the opportunity to face saber
14:13jr here tonight
14:15saber jr a round one by a round two victory over riohe oiwa who remains
14:21at ringside here tonight
14:22and oh that right arm oh that right arm already taped up is that right elbow and now i'm
14:28really
14:28starting to worry about umano going forward here
14:37zach saber jr is looking to claim his third new japan cup trophy
14:42be the man to go on to face yoda suji for the iwgp heavyweight
14:46championship in rio goku
14:48we know all about the history between saber jr and suji should we get to that point
15:09umano back inside the ring but i'm really starting to worry about that right elbow
15:18and zach saber jr here putting the point of it on his own elbow into shota umano
15:24's body and now
15:25i want to make it a little bit more difficult for shota umano to make his way to
15:38the rope
15:39saber could completely center this one if he really wants to but i think that there's a sick part
15:43there's a sick derived pleasure for zach saber jr to make shota umano work for him
15:49he wants to see
15:50show to umano make his way to the bottom rope here but he's not going to give up
15:54an inch
15:55no rather he's going to put some of those inches into the ribs and now
15:58yeah saber jr let go of that leg clutch just a little bit too soon umano back to
16:03the ropes again
16:12zach saber jr is the man who has long talked about investing in the future of new japan
16:17pro wrestling
16:18and that's why he plucked kosei fujita out of the no gay dojo
16:21that's why he wanted riohei oya as soon
16:23as oya was on his way out from pro wrestling no upon excursion that is why he
16:30wants to test show to umano
16:31in the tokyo dome test show to umano in the g1 and right now in big
16:36pallet fukushima umano though no
16:39need for a test umano is looking to ace this one here as watch it show to keep your
16:48eye wanted it

20:40thriving with well the added power to those strikes we've seen over the last
20:43calendar year Saber knew that that's why Saber has taken apart this right arm
21:03ご視聴ありがとうございました
21:22And Sabre, one after another, and then another, and then a no, no, no, no, no, Shota, Sh
21:28ota, tried for the backslide, Sabre Jr., though, took the opportunity to knock that right arm
21:32again. Every four years, Zack Sabre Jr. wins the New Japan Cup. This might be the year that that
21:40streak is broken.
21:44Shota now, backed out of the corner.
21:48Strike knee, strike knee.
21:54Now from the rear to the front, turning right around, strike knee to Sabre.
22:06Shota Umino now has got to try and scoop up for the second chapter. Second chapter bomb
22:11will put this one away.
22:13Oh, Sabre Jr., though.
22:17Oh, the cat's got the tongue.
22:20Zack Sabre Jr. here on Shota Umino.
22:26Oh, no, no, no, no, yeah, see, look at this.
22:28Splitting his own legs to try and separate the shoulder there of Umino.
22:32And now, watch it, watch it, Sabre.
22:39You can find full extension, if you can find full extension.
22:42Umino's trying to fight it off.
22:44Sabre Jr.'s gonna try and put the leg behind here.
22:47No, no, no, no, yeah, there we go.
22:51Shota, come on, come on, come on.
23:01Shota's trying to battle.
23:04Shota will stay alive.
23:08By the skin of his teeth, though, Zack Sabre's back into it again.
23:12Full confidence, never stop pressing.
23:23Sabre Jr. is in full control here.
23:27This match is gonna come to an end at any moment now.
23:33Look at it, Sabre Jr. with a Rowley cry.
23:36Umino's gotta try and make his way to the ropes, though.
23:49Wow, wow, wow.
23:52Umino made it to the ropes, but for a split second, Marty Asabi caught it.
23:57And it's gonna create separation here to check in now.

24:55Zack Sabre Jr.
24:56has taken away one of the strongest pieces of Shoto Umino's arsenal.
25:02And that right elbow is in shambles right now.
25:06All that Umino has to rely on is the pure grit to survive.
25:11And if he can get Sabre Jr. in the strike game with the knees,
25:15well, this is going to be a very different battle to come.
25:18Watch it, Umino.
