00:00Thank you for watching.
00:31It was one of the shortest
00:33not a bad thing without a shorter
00:36there you go
00:43Kanemaru felt a show the last time we were here in Oregon Hall
00:47but has made his way all the way to the 6 point mark
00:49has to win to stay alive here tonight
00:51and best in the Super Junior
00:52yeah but you know I mean still in that mix
00:54which is all that could be said to Kushida
00:57unfortunately the first to be eliminated

01:00from my world
01:02njpw1972.com
01:04from now until the end of the week
01:06midnight

01:20Warrior
01:21overcoming the odds
01:22in this tournament

01:29in the tournament
01:29for Robbie Eagles
01:30in the opener
01:31and then again
01:33Motional Match
01:34with this morning
01:35just the next day
01:37I think Kushida
01:38Absolutely stand a chance
01:39for Best Technique
01:40but I just wonder about the socks
01:51I just wonder about the socks
01:55Now Best Technique
01:56isn't always aligned with Best Dressed
01:58But you can do your vote
02:00at jpw1972.com
02:02That's going to come up
02:03on what June 4th
02:04It will be the final day
02:05I believe right here Japanese standard time as Yoshinobu Kanemaru goes one-on-
02:10One with Kushida here tonight
02:11Kushida already eliminated from a best of the super junior competition at a four-point mark
02:16and you talk about those socks they're coming off here
02:19I think it's been a tournament in so many respects
02:23and it's a weird comp to make maybe on the surface Walker
02:26Kushida and Junkasai you compare those two contrasting fortunes
02:31two men who had a clear idea of what they wanted to do in this tournament
02:36and Junkasai, look out, shoulders are down
02:39Junkasai really pulled pretty much everybody into his world of hardcore wrestling
02:43was very successful when he did so
02:45when people have joined Kushida on the mat
02:48Kushida's been a hard man to beat
02:50you know it's just that most people have been able to turn things around
02:54and said well bare feet thank you very much
02:56I'll stomp on that and I'll make you eat your socks
03:00Junkasai, you ever ate my socks Walker?
03:02No, well not anytime in the past few years
03:04I've never eaten my socks
03:07Could you see Kushida being at a point in his career
03:10where he's almost throwing certain things at the wall
03:12If you're investing in the super junior action
03:13and they cover in a count of one
03:15one more time
03:16what if we're not gonna happen
03:17you know really just trying to throw stuff at the wall
03:19see heps sticks
03:20trying to light himself back up into a career resurgence in New Japan
03:23I think he just wants to enjoy wrestling
03:25he wants to enjoy his sort of version in his path
03:29and and that's what he's chosen to do
03:31you know
03:32Kushida's saying
03:33you know he kind of wants to smell the roses at this point in his career
03:36That's why Kushida
03:37You know always a worldly man
03:39but you know I mean he's been in more places I think in the last five months
03:43then then you know most people live in their entire lifetimes
03:47everywhere from here in Corcoran Hall to Alaska
03:49yeah
03:51you know we talk all the time about Yoshinobu Kanemaru being a potential spoiler favorite
03:55In the best of the super junior
03:56Kushida has a huge opportunity to spoil Kanemaru on the other end here tonight
04:01yeah
04:01Kushida is gonna have to win this one to stay alive
04:03yeah exactly Kushida if he beats Kanemaru Kanemaru will join Kushida on the outs
04:09here
04:10and Kanemaru is gonna fight like he means it as you can see here taking the side head
04:14lock and drive right down to the campus
04:16and it's really been Kushida's entire offense on this matchup so far
04:20He's a side headlock
04:21Kushida has won matches with his headlocks
04:26you know yeah ask Gedo Gedo will tell you how painful someone like Yohei Oiwa's
04:33headlocks have been
04:34Yeah, certainly so
04:36so what the road to soccer to Genesis I believe Kushida putting down young clients with headlocks like
04:40that
04:41wrist locks if you're doing it with
04:43Oh nice
04:44knopped up there Yoshinobu Kanemaru watch it
04:46and going to drive at those heavily bandaged knees
04:49and the left one specifically directly to the canvas tonight
05:00this is giving Yoshinobu Kanemaru a lot of breathing room and that breathing room has
05:03been a necessity for Kanemaru so far
05:06the way that Kushida has been on offense
05:08yeah that was a very well timed very well placed trip though and obviously you're looking at two of
05:14the man wa
05:16artisan wrestlers I think you could call them
05:19in this business
05:20wow yeah Kanemaru is not going to go anywhere else than that left knee of Kushida from
05:26now on
05:26yeah pulling the stump on that knee
05:28and his Yoshinobu Kanemaru is now
05:30just driving Kanemaru's body weight
05:33directly into that knee one more time
05:43continuing the damage here tonight
05:45what's Kushida got to do to turn things around right now
05:48well I mean perhaps he wants to at this point get Kanemaru off of his legs I mean
05:54that's the
05:54an old adage of a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest but there you go
05:59he's going to break the grip and get back to that headlock
06:03watch it know Kanemaru taking it again
06:06and oh driving the knee one more time
06:11Kanemaru continues to have that safety net throughout this matchup here Chris
06:14and right now it is certainly wearing down Kushida
06:22and Kanemaru you knew you were going to see this eventually the figure four leg lock locked in
06:26right here
06:27this has been the way that Kanemaru has put a few of his points up on the board
06:30so far
06:31invested the Super Junior 33 and looking to continue the pace here tonight in Cork and Hall
06:36Kanemaru is looking towards his corner as ever as he's got that hold in sees that
06:41milkeybub if he
06:44needs a little bit of Dutch courage in this one
06:47Sakamoto yeah going after do this separating Kanemaru and Kushida physically and right now
07:00Kushida is looking worse than perfect here
07:07obviously you would think that the goal for Kanemaru as well as Joe will get into it
07:12later on
07:13the goal of this tournament has been to ensure that one of the other wins best of the Super Jun
07:18iors
07:18Race to the top of the Junior Division the man who stands at the very top of it all
07:23Doki declining to participate in best of the Super Junior this year
07:27Clearly the idea is to protect that title keep it with in-house and torture grounds
07:32Kushida trips up the legs there
07:34Rows through
07:35Nice
07:36Dubber down
07:36B2
07:37Beautiful cradle didn't have the leg strength to keep their shoulders down
07:41But they're overhead though
07:45I have to wonder what the atmosphere is like in-house and torture
07:48because I mean one week after our Super Junior Finals
07:51It is going to be Dominion June 14th
07:53Rose Saka Joe Hall tickets NJPW1972.com
07:57And of course Ren Narita having to put that Never title on the line against Aaron Wolfe
08:02There's a need for stability in the house of torture right now
08:05I'm going to see if that comes to be the case
08:08Kanemaru trying to aid to it is right now taking control of that leg
08:11Kanemaru is going to make Kushida run on it here.
08:13Kanemaru turning around again
08:15Pip toss rolls through it
08:17Into the no!
08:19Kanemaru had it scouted all over again
08:21So skillful is Kanemaru
08:25Kanemaru has never defeated Kushida in singles action before
08:29And is going to look to do exactly that to stay alive
08:32In best of the Super Junior action tonight
08:362016 Super J Cup Final
08:38I remember it well
08:40That was their first collision
08:42And then a couple of best of the Super Junior matches afterwards
08:46Kanemaru takes the pressure
08:48Kanemaru has been phenomenal
08:53In this Matchup
08:54It's very, very easy to beget
08:55Because you know Kanemaru is a master at the shenanigans
08:59But he gets the job done in the middle of the ring as well
09:02Kanemaru now
09:05Straight vertical there on Kushida
09:07Kushida fights right now
09:08No right to the left knee again
09:23I'm not exactly certain who to credit that to
09:26But the result remains the same
09:28Sakamoto down
09:29And Kanemaru
09:29A dropkick right to that basement all over again
09:32I think Kanemaru might call that a happy accident
09:38And we know exactly what cornerKanemaru is going for here tonight
09:42Drinking on the job here
09:48Watch it, watch it
09:49Go to the dive
09:50Not gonna happen
09:51Oh
09:52That is thick glass he just punched
09:55Right through it
09:55Cover here
09:56Kanemaru at two
10:00Nice
10:01And a head scissor
10:02Takedown into the cover
10:03Shoulders down
10:04For Zubin
10:06That's British style
10:07Head scan there
10:09Sleeps through
10:09Sampson clutch
10:10Good it
10:11Good it
10:11Good it
10:12Oh
10:12Right out at the barrister
10:14Oh
10:19And that's the opening
10:20Kushida was looking for this whole night
10:23Oh
10:25One move ahead
10:27And a fist to the face to boot
10:28One more time
10:30Kushida's got it in clutch here
10:33There you go
10:34And not at all
10:35Kanemaru
10:36Kanemaru keeps control here
10:38It's a struggle in the center of that ring Chris
10:40Oh
10:41I think
10:42Kushida's won it
10:43Back to the future
10:46It's over
10:47Kanemaru is gone
10:48From best of the super junior contention
10:51Six points on the board for Kushida
11:00It's not going to be enough to advance any more close to the final
11:04But it is certainly going to take some of the salt out of the wound of Kushida
11:08Take a look one more time here
11:09Scramble right in the center of the ring
11:11Kushida packaged up one, two, and a three count
11:16It will be the victory coming the way for the Filipino pro wrestling champion of the world
11:20Kushida victorious here on the evening
11:27And you have to wonder what the state of that left knee is going to be like for Kushida
11:31heading into the final night of action
11:33The match we have seen many times over
11:35Kushida takes photos on Taiji Shimori
11:37The final league night
11:39The best of the super junior 33 right here
11:41A poor call tomorrow
11:43That knee was worked over by El Desperado a couple of nights ago
11:47That was a great match in Takaoka
11:50And now he's got to recover
11:52It'll feel good for Kushida to know
11:54He's pushed Yoshinova Kanemaru out of contention
11:57Kanemaru versus an old friend El Desperado tomorrow
12:05The wrestling fans coming up next for Yusuke Takuchi take on and Francesco Akira coming
12:09up
12:10One on one right here on NJPW World
