01:29how big
01:31second biggest
01:33I've ever seen Walker
01:34One incredible specimen that Sonata is
01:39I'll tell you right here wrestling fans
01:41Sanada says it's something that's explained very vaguely.
01:46The KLIMAX name,
01:48And then, Sanada said something,
01:52To all people,
01:54Sanada!!
02:01It's easy to like,
02:11They served Lady Chi,
02:16Bartrose is incredibly charming.
02:17If they create Flurry's Land,
02:18The reason is that our house has a high interest rate.
02:18This person is the type who always loses despite having a tough time.

02:49We will deliver
03:16G-1 Climax Tournament
03:20The rise of one Hiroki Goto all over again
03:23And it was off the back of G-1 34 two years ago
03:27That led to Hiroki Goto becoming IWGP Heavyweight Champion
03:30For the first time in his career
03:32But there was no G-1 Climax Tournament
03:34One year ago in 2025
03:37For this man who was put on the injured reserve
03:39Just one month prior to the tournament start date
03:42By Zack Sabre Jr. Go back
03:45And his first G-1 Climax in the past two years
03:55Goto Koki
04:01And we will thank our Valkyrie sensor spot
04:04ProWrestling.com for all of our numbers
04:06All the way through this tournament
04:07I believe what Hiroki Goto's match number 145
04:10In this tournament
04:11The second most of any competitor in history
04:14Behind only of course Hiroshi Tanahashi
04:17And Hiroki Goto the oldest statesman of this tournament
04:21Won his very first G-1 back in 2008
04:24Meet the final eight years later in 2016
04:28And perhaps ten years after that
04:29Looking to take it home once again
04:32Hiroki Goto may be on the oversight of the playing field in this year's G-
04:361
04:36That does not mean you need to underestimate him
04:38In fact far the opposite
04:40I think Hiroki Goto is the biggest threat
04:42To anyone standing in the same block as him
04:44And A-block certainly to be put on notice tonight
04:49I think you look at Sonata you're going to look at the biggest trap game of this entire
04:53tournament
04:54Against somebody who really you don't know quite what he's thinking
04:58I think I know what he's thinking here
05:01I knew what he was thinking
05:03He was thinking that
05:04Sonata being very open about the fact that he's taken certain shortcuts in his match style
05:09And even joining House of Torture
05:11And really out of necessity Walker
05:13Well it's all been due to injury that is stacked up over the course of the years
05:17And a lengthy and successful career that Sonata has had
05:20But Goto managed to turn things around with a hip toss
05:23Going to take things off the ropes
05:24And a basement drop kick is going to hit
05:26Right pinpoint where Sonata points it
05:29Well you can see just the physical difference between the right and left side of Sonata
05:33It is visible and that is due to a debilitating condition around his left pectoral
05:38A situation that an awful lot of baseball pitchers had
05:41And that injury was originally sustained
05:45In his greatest moment of his career
05:47Arguably main eventing in Wrestle Kingdom of the Tokyo Dome against Tetsuya Naita
05:52And what a far cry that we are in the year of 2026 from that Sonata
05:57I mean that Sonata had a class
05:59That Sonata was a man that the people wanted to cheer for
06:01And I'll argue
06:02I'll say it
06:03I'll put it on the record at Dominion just a month ago
06:06The people wanted to be there for Sonata
06:08But Sonata's actions didn't exactly match
06:10I think if you're Sonata Walker
06:12I mean, what do you think?
06:13I mean you wrestle a certain way
06:15You're very proud of how you conduct yourself
06:18Your life classical style
06:19It takes you all the way to the world championship
06:21And yet people describe your reign as tepid
06:24It takes you all the way to Wrestle Kingdom
06:26The main event
06:27You have a great match
06:29You wrestle your way
06:30You get hurt
06:31And then you lose
06:32You know what I mean?
06:33I think Sonata at that point said
06:35Well, what do I have to do?
06:36You know
06:36And I think that's what led him
06:38To join first the War Dogs
06:39And then after that House of Sorcerer
06:41Yeah, well
06:41And join every single unit
06:43New Japan Pro Wrestling
06:44By the rate
06:45We're meeting
06:45It's not a united empire yet
06:46Doing all he can
06:47As boat lock locked in
06:49For Sonata on the evening
06:51Well, we don't have a telephone
06:53Hasn't made the trip
06:54To be the official judge
06:56Sonata off the ropes
06:58And here we go
06:58Key right in the ignition
07:01Con Sonata
07:03Driving right through the hole
07:05Cover here
07:06And a
07:07Two count
07:08One more time
07:10Three and four
07:11Singles record
07:11For Hiroki Goto
07:12Con Sonata
07:13Over the course
07:13Of the last decade
07:15Chris
07:15It's been 100%
07:16G1 climaxes
07:17Multiple New Japan Cups
07:19The first time though
07:20Since March of 2024
07:21We see these two men
07:22Square up
07:23Yeah, they've certainly
07:24Gone back and forth
07:25over the years
07:27We all start
07:28With Sonata's
07:29Debut G1
07:30Wow
07:312016
07:31Sonata song
07:33Great Oko
07:33Beat Oko
07:35Beat Porto even
07:36Easy for me to say
07:37Sonata song
07:38Hiroki Goto
07:39In his debut G1
07:41In 2016
07:42But Goto shrugged it off
07:43Made it all the way
07:44To the finals
07:44Of that tournament
07:50Three and three records
07:51The rubber match
07:51Here tonight
07:52A far and away
07:53Different Sonata
07:54Than Goto
07:54First
07:55As a menemasa
07:56Lays out
07:57Sonata click here
07:58The video
08:00Back suplex
08:01And a Goto cover
08:02Two count only
08:04On Sonata tonight
08:05Sonata as well
08:07Hadex time
08:08In America
08:09On his own excursions
08:11Fortna
08:13And then lastly
08:13Impact Wrestling
08:14And the name changed
08:15Again
08:16Sonata Former
08:17X Division Champion
08:18As well
08:20A lot of American stories
08:22Not just New Japan
08:23Fans
08:23Family with Sonata's work
08:25I know a lot of people
08:26Who became New Japan
08:26Pro Wrestling fans
08:27Through Sonata's
08:28Excursion with TNA
08:29And I think that Sonata
08:31Is not going to be able
08:32To think about any
08:32Of that right now
08:33Though
08:33Has got him on
08:34His shoulders
08:34Here did Goto
08:35Oh
08:36Shikoroshi
08:37From Sonata
08:38Wow
08:39Real copy and paste
08:41Maneuver right there
08:41For Sonata
08:42But it's worked out
08:43Very well for him
08:43No doubt
08:44Yeah
08:45A little bit of a
08:46Curveball from Sonata
08:47There
08:49And he's certainly
08:50Dipping into
08:52Somebody's counterpart's
08:53Move set
08:53Has changed
08:54Hiroki Goto's
08:55Brother in arms
08:56In
08:57Monsai
08:58In the form of
08:59The best of the
09:00Super Championship
09:01Earlier on
09:02Maybe Sonata
09:03Taking a couple of cues
09:04Seven
09:05Con Sonata
09:06Watch It
09:06Oh
09:07Right on the apron
09:09And a
09:09Debilitating place
09:11Toland
09:11For Heroku Goto
09:13Sonata knows
09:13Well about that
09:15Look out
09:15Look out
09:16This could be lethal
09:17You don't want to see it
09:20Sonata
09:21No
09:21No
09:21No
09:22A Magic screw
09:26Con Sonata
09:28Certainly
09:29Showing his colors
09:30Tonight
09:30Three
09:32Four
09:33Five
09:34This is
09:35Wrestling
09:36Seven
09:37I would say
09:38In a conservative
09:39Fashion
09:40In a
09:41To try and further
09:42Your length
09:43Than if you are
09:44Feeling beaten up
09:44Before you even
09:45Start
09:45The G1
09:46This is the right
09:47Way to wrestle
09:48Walker
09:49Fifteen
09:50Such a long period of time off
09:52For reform
09:53And even still
09:54It was not enough
09:55To change the way
09:57That he wrestles
09:59Door or square
10:00Of this ring
10:00Goto though
10:01That is a man
10:02Whose Ray
10:03Is going to burn
10:03For many decades
10:04Past the end
10:05Of his career
10:06Let's go
10:06As we see right now
10:09Sonata
10:10Magic
10:11On Hiroki Goto
10:12Here's the cover
10:13Now for Sonata
10:14And a two
10:16Hiroki Goto
10:17Saying as he's the
10:19Wait a second
10:20Put a pin in that
10:20Sonata up top
10:24Missed
10:25Hiroki Goto
10:25Rolling into the corner
10:26The Moonsault
10:27BothED
10:27Here we go
10:28Disaster inbound
10:29Goto
10:30Ushigoroshi
10:33But Goto
10:34Cannot follow up
10:35Walker
10:36The damage
10:36Done with that
10:37Magic
10:38On the floor
10:38It's a long way
10:40To Crawl
10:40I think it's more
10:41Than enough
10:42For Hiroki Goto
10:43To get to his feet
10:43At this point in time
10:44Yeah
10:45Hiroki Goto
10:46Is doing all
10:46Within his power
10:47To try and get back
10:48To a vertical base
10:50Put New Japan
10:51Pro Wrestling
10:52On his shoulders
10:53Prove that the
10:53G and G1
10:54Cliscape does stand
10:56For Goto
10:57Hiroki Goto
10:58Saying in a year
10:59Full of retirements
11:00Goto is going
11:01Show a veteran's
11:02Will to win
11:03In this tournament
11:04Skull in
11:05Though
11:06Maybe
11:06Dragon Sleeper
11:07Escapes
11:08Oh Goto
11:09Right out of it
11:10And a shining
11:11Wizard
11:13Muto-esque
11:14Right there
11:14From Sonata
11:18And the dead
11:19Four will be
11:19The trap
11:20Sonata
11:20Falls to
11:21Wait
11:22Oh no
11:22Goto
11:23Off the ropes
11:23Here hego
11:24Caught in
11:25Caught in
11:25Reverse GTR
11:27Off the ropes
11:28Lariat
11:29Lays out
11:31Sonata
11:34Sonata's only had
11:35One singles match
11:36Back return
11:37From injury
11:38Chris
11:38It was a loss
11:39To Konosuke
11:39Tekeshta
11:40Back for the
11:41World TV title
11:41Sonata has not
11:43Proven
11:43That he can even
11:44Compete at the
11:45Level of a
11:46G1
11:46With the injuries
11:47Hedued
11:48Just yet
11:53Well
11:53Proof of the pudding
11:55'
11:56Well right here
11:56We're in deep waters
11:57In the Reversal
12:00Too opening
12:01You know
12:01I mean, I think
12:02That might be a question
12:03To grip
12:05The Arms
12:05Couldn't lace it up
12:07With a
12:07Bad left side
12:08Right side
12:09Rather
12:09Look out
12:09Caught it
12:10Caught it
12:11Could it be
12:14Now he has it
12:16Yeah
12:17Now he's got to get
12:18those hooks in
12:18Yeah
12:19This is what
12:19Sonata does best
12:20This is the Sonata
12:21That we have known
12:22And formerly loved
12:24Walker
12:24Look the way
12:25HeX that open
12:26So reliable
12:27On the grip
12:28And now having to
12:28Lose the grip
12:29To readjust
12:30That is just
12:30A simple fact
12:32Of the matter
12:32That he doesn't
12:33Have the strength
12:33In the right arm
12:34To get that
12:35HOW MUST
12:38Still might be
12:39Enough
12:40And the head's
12:41Getting loser
12:42Oh it's Goto
12:43Goto might be
12:43Fading here
12:44That leftarm
12:45Staying
12:46High in the sky
12:47For the time being
12:47But
12:50The more
12:51Talk
12:51The more pressure
12:52You put on the neck
12:53The closer
12:54Goto will get
12:55To tapping out
12:55But conversely
12:56The tomorrow
12:57It will be
12:58To slip out
13:04Just enough
13:06Sonata
13:06Sonata
13:08Has got to try
13:09And pull things forward
13:10He's got to cinch up
13:11On that hold
13:12But you said it
13:13Yourself
13:13There is a lack
13:14Of strength
13:15In the right arm
13:16Of Sonata
13:17Tonight
13:18If Goto
13:19Has the wherewithal
13:20His best bet
13:21Might be to move
13:21His own right arm
13:23Try and break
13:24Well
13:24I think Sonata
13:25Realized
13:25He didn't have
13:26The Power
13:27In the grip
13:27Anymore
13:28To try for that
13:29That lower base
13:32Is fine and plenty
13:33Sonata
13:34Rounding
13:35Body press
13:38No, just two
13:46Chris, it's been so intriguing
13:48To see
13:48Since the return
13:49Of Sonata
13:50The old
13:51The Schemes of What Was
13:53The Tokyo Dome
13:54That made a better
13:54Just peeking through
13:55The blinds of this
13:56House of Torture
13:57Written individual
13:58I think there is always
13:59The dining
14:00Within Sonata
14:01To wrestle
14:02The way that he
14:03Always has had
14:04A vision to
14:06So only that vision
14:07Peeking through
14:08Or peeking through
14:09The pilgrimage there
14:10But that was a
14:10Rough
14:11The bone of the punch
14:13Right to the cheek
14:14Of Yoroki Goto
14:15Right to the cheek
14:38Of Yoroki Goto
14:39turning around
14:40Not the shoulder
14:41Inbound
14:42GTW
14:43Get through
14:45Withstand
14:47And that is what
14:48Hiroki Goto
14:49Is going to look to do
14:49Here tonight
14:50With Sonata
14:51Certainly Goto
14:52Has withstood plenty
14:52Over the course
14:53Of this match
14:54So far
14:55He really
14:56To create motion
14:56Condition
14:57Con Sonata
14:58Really Want
14:59To stop it
15:08Wouldn't it be great
15:10For Yoroki Goto
15:11To walk the red carpet
15:12This October
15:13For the premiere
15:14Of Street Fighter
15:15The Movie Walker
15:16As the G1 winner
15:18Walk it with the trophy
15:19Here it comes
15:20GTR
15:21No
15:21Sonata
15:22Backslide out
15:23Shining Wizard
15:41What is it going to take
15:42Feel for Sonata
15:43To turn this around
15:44For Goto
15:44To put this one away
15:45Just one heavy shot
15:47That might be
15:48One of his favorite
15:49Oh Shotenkai
15:50No
15:50Denial
15:51Denial
15:52Right back through again
15:53Sonata
15:54Set down
15:54Deep
15:55Two
16:02Hopped on the shoulders
16:04One more time
16:07Goto
16:08Goto
16:08Goto's got to maintain
16:09Control here
16:10Some show
16:10Someway
16:11Well, he put a stop
16:13To That
16:13Did Sonata
16:14Well, he could be
16:15Looking for G2
16:16Kai
16:17Not the Arm Field
16:18Here it comes
16:21GTR
16:22Goto
16:23Revolution
16:24It's over
16:35Two points on the board for
16:38Maroki Goto
16:39Crisp
16:39But that is yet another singles loss for
16:42Sonata upon return from injury
16:44It is a long hard climb I think for Sonata through this tournament
16:57And the question being what will it take for Sonata to find his first victory that very well could
17:03come very well soon on July 18th night two of G136
17:08It will be live in Sapporo
17:10It will be live in Sapporo and Maroki Goto and Sonata both will be an in
17:13-ring pen
17:13You are not going to want to miss Sonata versus Great Okan and hey how about your winner
17:18tonight
17:18Maroki Goto versus Yota Tsuji a New Japan Cup final rematch I cannot wait
17:25it is banger after banger in this year's tournament

17:53the New Japan Cup final rematch that's coming up next Walker
17:57Yeah it is Yuya Uemura versus Callum Neumann one on one and the big
