02:44Hello everybody
02:45And welcome to this episode of the Pro Wrestling Podcast
02:47Tonight, a couple things to touch on
02:49We've got some injury news
02:50Some sad news
02:52And then we've got an update on one of the coolest events of the year
02:55So let's get into the injury news
02:57Vikingo, who was just most recently seen at SmackDown
03:01Taking on Ray Phoenix for the AAA Middleweight Championship
03:06Unfortunately, has a serious knee injury
03:09This is like the fourth or fifth knee injury in the last five years this poor guy has had
03:14And it was announced today that he is actually put on social media
03:17He's going to be going under the knife
03:18He's getting surgery on his knee
03:19He's going to keep him on an extended period of time
03:21And this could not have come at a worse time
03:23He always feels snakebitten
03:24When he was in TNA, injury
03:29AEW, injury
03:30Now he's at AAA
03:33Had an injury
03:34WWE buys them
03:36He's doing well
03:36Finally gets brought to SmackDown
03:38Injury
03:39Like this guy is just injury snakebitten for some reason
03:43But then again, if you think about his moveset
03:44And all the crazy high wrists
03:45Flips and twists and twirls and stuff he does
03:47It really shouldn't be surprising
03:49But I do hope he comes back quickly
03:51I think he has a very unique presentation
03:54Something that WWE mainstream fans can really get behind
03:58Even as tiny as he is
04:00I don't need him to be the WWE champion
04:02But I would love to see him having matches with Rey Mysterio
04:05Dragon Lee
04:06People like that on the main roster
04:08Even a Chad Gable
04:09Things like that
04:10And unfortunately this is going to be a speed bump in his career
04:13Hopefully a short one at that
04:15In the sad side of things
04:18News broke yesterday that Jey Uso
04:20Maybe the reason he wasn't at Brawl this week
04:24Is dealing with some very serious stuff right now
04:26His wife of 12 years has filed for divorce
04:29Citing that their relationship is irreparable
04:33Which is sad enough to begin with
04:36But it got more complicated today
04:38When some fans online
04:41Made some accusations
04:43Claiming that Jey may have been unfaithful
04:48And possibly have some sort of relationship
04:51With Jada Parker
04:53Where he responded quickly
04:55You know
04:56Leave her out of this
04:57And he got very incensed about this
05:00And he hadn't said a whole lot until that point
05:02When they went after her
05:03I look
05:04I wasn't there
05:05I don't know
05:05I don't know if they got a thing going on
05:07You know what I feel bad for
05:08He's got kids
05:09He's had a 12 year relationship with his spouse
05:12I really wish the two of them
05:13Could have worked it out
05:14And made things happen
05:15But you know
05:16Sometimes people grow apart
05:17And I hope
05:18I hope that
05:19He was
05:19I hope he was on the up and up
05:21I hope that Jada Parker stuff
05:22Is just online banter
05:24If it's not
05:25It's really a shame
05:26It's really really a shame
05:27But human beings are flawed creatures
05:28Not justifying anything
05:31I don't know
05:32Sad news in the Uso household
05:35Gotta get to what for me
05:37Is one of the coolest things of the year
05:38The New Japan Pro Wrestling G1 Climax
05:42Kicks off this Saturday in Chicago
05:44And this year
05:46The blocks have been finalized
05:48And from what I'm looking at
05:50There are probably seven talents
05:53That could win this thing
05:54So let's go through who's in
05:55For those who don't know about this
05:57Before I get into who's in what
05:58The G1 Climax
06:00Is a very interesting tournament
06:02There are two blocks
06:03There are
06:04There are
06:05I believe ten wrestlers
06:06Let me see
06:06What do I got
06:07Four
06:07Eight
06:08Nine
06:08Ten wrestlers per block this year
06:10They will wrestle in round robin format
06:13Meaning everybody wrestles everybody
06:16You go for points
06:17By winning
06:18If you win
06:19You get so many points
06:20If you have a draw
06:20You get a point
06:21If you have a loss
06:22You get zero points
06:23And the idea is
06:25Is everybody wrestles everybody
06:26And then you get your points
06:28And whoever the highest point getters
06:30In block A and block B are
06:33Those two then face off
06:34With the winner
06:35Winning the G1 Climax
06:37And getting a championship opportunity
06:39At the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion
06:42At Wrestle Kingdom
06:43Or a previous and earlier show
06:45If they so choose
06:46Because I have seen that happen
06:47I believe it was
06:48Zach Saber-Juter
06:49Did that last year
06:50Or the year before
06:51If I remember correctly
06:53But either way
06:54You're getting a championship opportunity
06:55This year the blocks are really stacked
06:59In the A block
07:00Kanosuke Takeshka
07:02Yoda Tsuji
07:03Sanada
07:04Shingo Takagi
07:05Jake Lee
07:06Oleg Bolton
07:07Which if you don't know
07:08Who Oleg Bolton is
07:09Check him out
07:09That's a guy who I think
07:10WWE needs to be on the lookout for
07:12In the near coming couple years
07:13Hiroki Goto
07:15The Great Okan
07:16One half of the tag team champions
07:18Yudo Ice
07:19And Ryohi Iowa
07:22They're Block A
07:24Now look
07:24I think in Block A
07:25Oleg Bolton
07:26Yoda Tsuji
07:28And Kanosuke Takeshka
07:29Are the favorites
07:31Probably in Block 1
07:32To come out
07:33And be in the final
07:34Takeshka has done that before
07:36Tsuji was the
07:37IWGP Champion
07:38Earlier this year
07:39And Oleg Bolton
07:40Is currently the
07:41Never Openweight Champion
07:41Man that guy
07:43He's
07:43If you want to build a new guy
07:45He's that guy
07:46He really is
07:46Phenomenal talent
07:47In the B block
07:48Former IWGP Heavyweight Champion
07:51Callum Newman
07:52Who won the championship
07:52Earlier this year
07:53Headlines the block
07:55Zack Sabre Jr.
07:57Also former IWGP Champion
07:58Shoto Umino
08:00Who was just at
08:01Forbidden Door
08:02Yaya Uminora
08:04Ren Narita
08:05Drilla Maloney
08:06The brand new
08:08The brand new
08:08As of July 6th
08:10IWGP Global Champion
08:12Gabe Kidd
08:13Hanare
08:14Aaron Wolfe
08:15And Oscar
08:15Are all in Block B
08:17Now in that block
08:18I could see
08:20Callum Newman
08:20Zack Sabre Jr.
08:22Shoto Umino
08:23Or Gabe Kidd
08:24Walking out
08:25As the winners
08:25Of that block
08:26So that gives you
08:27Seven different people
08:28Across the two blocks
08:30If I were a betting man
08:32I would imagine
08:33It's going to be
08:34Yota Tsuji
08:34Coming out of Block A
08:35And in Block B
08:37Shoto Umino
08:38Who comes out of Block B
08:39And I honestly feel like
08:41This might be the year
08:42They give the win to Umino
08:43Have him win the G1 Climax
08:45And go on to face
08:46Whoever at the time
08:47Will be the IWGP Champion
08:49For the Championship
08:50At Wrestle Kingdom
08:50Not sure
08:51It should be exciting
08:52I can't wait to see
08:54The tournament
08:54You can check it out
08:55At New Japan World
08:56Look for the highlights
08:57Online on their
08:58New Japan Pro Wrestling
08:59Channel on YouTube
09:00It is great stuff
09:01A lot of American
09:02Wrestling fans
09:03Are not aware of
09:05Or don't have enough
09:06Opportunity to see
09:07The New Japan product
09:08This is the type of show
09:09You don't want to miss
09:10And it goes for the
09:11Whole month
09:12It's wonderful
09:13A couple weeks
09:13I should say
09:14It's wonderful
09:15Fantastic
09:15Every night
09:16They rotate blocks
09:17So Block A will wrestle
09:18One night
09:19And then the Block B guys
09:20Wrestle in like
09:21Other matches
09:22Tag team matches
09:22And stuff like that
09:23Then the next night
09:24Block B will wrestle
09:25Their round robin matches
09:27And Block A guys
09:28Are in other
09:29Miscellaneous matches
09:30It's a really
09:31Interesting concept
09:32Something I wish
09:33WWE or AEW
09:34AEW kind of does it
09:35With the Continental Classic
09:36It's very similar
09:38But I would really love
09:39To see WWE do
09:39Something like this
09:40And actually put
09:41Some effort into it
09:42But either way
09:44If you get the
09:44Opportunity to check
09:45That stuff out
09:46That's all the time
