00:00Match 3: G1 Claymax D Block Official Match 30
00:03We will compete in Japan.
00:32Thank you for watching.
01:02Narita Rayfor!!!
01:36Narita Rayfor!!!
02:00It was less than one year ago when Oscar and Yuto Ice made their return to New Japan Pro
02:06Wrestling from Excursion
02:07to form the Knockout Brothers and quickly dominate the Heavyweight Tag Team Division as your IWG
02:12P Champions, Chris.
02:14But now, in the G1 Climax 36 season that is upon us, Oscar and Ice no longer
02:19are IWGP Tag Team Champions,
02:22and now something solo to fight for in their debut G1 entries.
02:25I think you can see, you can feel, you can hear, you can look at a very different demean
02:31Our Out of Oscar
02:31as an individual competitor than what we normally see in the Tag Team.
02:36This is the chance for Oscar to show that he's a monster in his own right, and certainly, you
02:42Do you know what I mean?
02:42The vibe, monsterish out of Oscar, 6'7", a brute force and an awful lot of power
02:48of that massive German Teutonic Titan. Here's Oscar, and well, we'll see whether that pays off
02:56against Ren now.
02:57And it is the key here, Walker, that the rest of House of Torture, much like Gabe Kidd,
03:02not allowed into the country
03:04Yeah, there's a potential to that. We are gonna unload it all here tonight in Chicago, Illinois.
03:09Oscar vs. Ren Narita, one-on-one.
03:15Akako, 3-band cup, Knockout Brothers.
03:19Dimetri Sechi, 125.
03:22OSUKA!
03:23OSUKA!
03:32In a long tradition, big men in this tournament.
03:36You think all the way back to 1991, the very first G1 Climax.
03:40Ban Ban Vigalow, Crusher, big fan Vader as well.
03:44And also guys like Giant Bernard, who was a fearsome force through the mid-2000s.
03:50Of course, Lance Archer as well has made a significant mark on this tournament over the years as well.
03:56Come on, you gotta be kidding me here.
03:57I mean, let me ask you this, Chris.
03:59A coward like Ren Narita sees a man the size of Oscar.
04:03Can you blame him for doing what he's doing?
04:04Yeah, I mean, are you kidding me? No.
04:06I mean, like, this is obviously what the correct game plan is.
04:10Take advantage of every advantage and you never, ever turn your back on Ren Narita.
04:14Well, let's say this.
04:15The correct quote-unquote game plan, as you put it, didn't work out for Yujiro
04:18Takahashi.
04:19That's how Oscar played into G1 Climax this year and debuts in the G13
04:246 tournaments as we speak.
04:27Jumping down the big tree.
04:28And just as we talk about it here, Ren Narita really going to take the target to that left
04:32knee.
04:32And I hate to say it, but Oscar is certainly coming into this night with a little bit of injury
04:38The issue is on that left knee.
04:40I had a conversation with a man earlier tonight.
04:42And Ren Narita must have overheard that scouting report because he is going right to that point.
04:47Ren Narita last time, Narita was in the USA competing.
04:52You and I were there in Wintrust Arena a couple of years ago.
04:55Windy City right, Ren Narita beat Minoru Suzuki.
04:58So he's certainly over a long period of time, but Narita riding a five-match win
05:03streak here in the United States.
05:05Maybe a losing record overall, 16, 19, and 1.
05:09Narita spent a lot of time here on an excursion, of course, with the LA Dodgers.
05:12Indeed, as Oscar blows right through Ren Narita.
05:16And that left knee is certainly feeling the weight that's being put on it right now.
05:23Ren Narita, on the other hand, not sure what we're seeing here.
05:26Crawling underneath the ring, it seems, and something in the hand, something on the mind of Narita.
05:32And instead, here comes Oscar to try and bring things back to the center.
05:35This is the first-time singles matchup, Chris.
05:37And it does not mean it's the first tournament encounter between these two men.
05:41It was the kickoff to World Tag League just last year where House of Torture,
05:45Carita and Sonata put down the Knockout Brothers at that point in time.
05:49All right, and right up until the World Tag League, Oscar and Ewan to Ice were undefeated
05:54as a tag team
05:55to that standpoint.
05:56So, you know what I mean?
05:57Really, even though it wasn't Narita and Sonata that were the first,
06:02it was certainly a painful, significant one.
06:04And Oscar was the one that took the pin off of Ren Narita from that Hell's Guillotine.
06:09And don't forget, Oscar has not forgotten about it at all.
06:13No, popped right over the top there and Ren Narita one more time.
06:16Oh, God!
06:17Right to that left knee again, and Oscar is hung out to dry here.
06:23It's about time that referee Kent DeSato tries to get in the middle of this one.
06:26We have the steel chairs at play tonight, Chris.
06:30All right, finally.
06:32Oh, come on!
06:32Well, now we have to spare.
06:33I mean, that is, like any expert magician, the misdirection, the distraction.
06:43And let's face it, it's one-on-one.
06:45It isn't exactly like there's a whole lot of interference here.
06:50It's nothing new for Ren Narita for House of Torture.
06:55And Narita is going to soak it all in here tonight.
07:03House of Torture involvement was heavy in last year's G1 Climax tournament.
07:09Two.
07:10Three.
07:11Rock.
07:12Five.
07:13Five.
07:15Perfect.
07:17Three.
07:17No doubt.
07:19Evil was, in many of mine, nobody really predicted that Evil would have made the final in what was, I
07:26don't, I would hesitate to call it a miraculous walker, but I mean it was quite a surprise
07:31Run for him in 2025.
07:33And certainly Ren Narita feels that he is G.
07:47This is not at all where you want to be if you are Oscar at this point in time.
07:51Yeah!
07:52As Ren Narita all over again, putting the attack in on that left knee.
07:56And, you know, all the damage starts to compound over the course of a G1 like this, Chris.
08:00I mean, take a look right now.
08:02Oscar, right to the middle rope, knows where he needs to be to break that hole, but, I mean, if
08:06this damage compounds any further, this is going to be a very, very tough tournament for this fan.
08:10Yeah, you're absolutely right, and there is that sometimes, I mean, it's very easy for us to sit
08:15at ringside and say, well, give up a submission, and therefore, you know, allow yourself to live another day.
08:23It's a long, long marathon, it's not a sprint.
08:27But at the same time, you mentally pull back in a moment like this.
08:31Oh, come on.
08:31Wait a second.
08:32Now, Kenta Sato right in the mid there, and Ren Narita going to take the drop kick
08:36back to the left knee.
08:38Yeah, popped up though, sent for the ride.
08:41Ho, ho, ho.
08:42Ren Narita.
08:46Ren Narita nearly blew away in the Windy City tonight, Chris.
08:49Yes, that was a hell of a drop for the former Never Champion.
08:53Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar.
08:58Very first singles match here in the United States in Chicago.
09:02Oh, that was a pass right this.
09:03Riding some Oscar.
09:06Up high.
09:07No, no, no.
09:07Ren Narita again.
09:08Kenta Sato's kind of trying to stay out of the line of fire where he can.
09:13Very first G1 Climax matchup in the career for Oscar.
09:19First time singles match between these two men.
09:21And Oscar, once again, sends Sarita down for the ride, off the ropes.
09:29Oscar finding a little bit of feeling in that left knee again, Chris.
09:34And now getting a little bit of feeling from the fans.
09:37Now, can he drop his leg?
09:39He's getting kidding tonight.
09:40Hell of a break here.
09:41No!
09:43There's a heavy landing right on the rear, and now immediately to that stump puller on the left
09:47knee.
09:48That has been targeted all throughout this night by Oscar.
09:51Kick it up!
09:53And Oscar doing everything he can to make it to that bottom rope.
09:56And Narita, as smart as a man can be, you may not like it.
10:01Oh, wow.
10:02Great use of those legs.
10:02Yeah, unique escape right there.
10:08And Ren Narita one more time.
10:11And it's back to the wheelhouse, and if it's not broke, don't fix it.
10:16He is the natural point of contact, the natural point of attack.
10:21And Narita has always been very, very adept in leg submissions, grappling.
10:27Learned under Katsuyori Shibata, of course, in the LA Dojo.
10:30And certainly a great way to repay his teaching.
10:34.
10:44You'll love the American Men's walker.
10:46They disregard their own mind.
10:48Yeah, no doubt about it.
10:51As Ren Narita going to try and fight the stand-up game with Oscar.
10:56That's never worked too well for Narita in the past.
11:02Oh, man.
11:03And a secret chop.
11:07A soul-crushing chop from the Knockout Nightmare.
11:11Don't give Narita any time.
11:14There you go.
11:15Wow, yeah.
11:16Again, again, just gave him far too much time.
11:19You hit the nail right on the head there, Chris.
11:21Oscar has got to do something to try and turn this around, and it's all about the timing.
11:25Ren Narita is a master of control.
11:28This is the difference.
11:30Wow.
11:30Timing, Walker, so, so different timing and pacing.
11:33You know this between tag teams and singles wrestling.
11:36Oscar learning a hard lesson right now.
11:44Yeah, look in the eyes of Ren Narita.
11:46You don't see fear often out of that man.
11:48But Oscar, Oscar is going to instill it in full force.
11:51Yeah, this is going to be a frightful dream, the Nightmare Sleeper.
11:55He's in place.
11:59Oscar is looking for his first G1 Climax victory for Ren Narita again to that left
12:05Knee, Chris.
12:06That is such an excellent mind and excellent level of awareness.
12:10It's going to go again, watch it.
12:12Oh, no, no.
12:12Could we see it?
12:13Berlin fall, no Narita, turn around, and immediately into the stump puller all over again.
12:18Right into that cross knee bar.
12:21A very, very effective maneuver.
12:23Going to torque the knee.
12:24Going to twist the ankle as well now.
12:26Both sides, figure four variants.
12:28Yes, yes, yes.
12:29And here he is.
12:31Oh, maybe Oscar, is he going to swallow his pride and submit perhaps?
12:40And to the bottom rope, Oscar makes it.
12:45I mean it helps when you're well over two meters tall in order to get him in.
12:51That is the benefit that I think Oscar has that no other wrestler does in this tournament.
13:04There's one thing about Giants that Ren Narita knows.
13:07It's that when they fall, they fall hard.
13:10He fell back in World Tag League to this maneuver, did Oscar?
13:13And Ren Narita knows it, has it locked up blind in.
13:17Here we go.
13:18No!
13:19No!
13:20Oscar caught it.
13:21Berlin fell denied.
13:23Narita.
13:24No!
13:25Sold out, not gonna happen.
13:27Ow!
13:28Oscar, back into the nightmare, back into the nightmare sleeper.
13:34And it may be a bad, bad night.
13:36Round and round we go, where they stop, Oscar knows.
13:41Oscar drops into the hole, and this one, this one's over.
13:45It's done.
13:47Wow!
13:50How about that book?
13:52And for the second time tonight, Walker, somebody in their debut G1 match has gotten two points on the
13:58Board.
13:59That is a big, big get for Oscar here tonight.
14:02What a win for the former IWGP Tag Team Champion.
14:06Congratulations to Oscar.
14:08A phenomenal, phenomenal performance, and let's call it a spade a spade.
14:13Of course you may not like how Ren Narita Dirt did certain things in this matchup tonight.
14:17But Marita wrestled a very smart game, and I'd expect to see a lot more out of
14:21that man throughout the rest of this G1.
14:25Well, Dave Kidd next, his next will be next Sunday in Hawkeye KTL.
14:31It'll be the old enemies in Germany versus England, and it's gonna be Oscar versus Gabe Kidd.
14:36Ren Narita will have to recover against another devious English player in the form of Callum Newman.
14:43That is coming up Sunday, July the 19th.
14:53I think the C.
14:54Two points on the board for Oscar in a B-block matchup here tonight.
14:59Yeah, we are gonna be following up very soon with the G1 Climax entry of Oscar's
15:05own tag team partner,
15:06a man by the name of Yuto Eitz, will take on Great Ocon.
15:09That's gonna be coming up next.
15:10I can't wait for all the action we have left throughout this card at G1 36, Chris.
15:16Yeah, the best is yet to come.
15:23Yeah, wrestling fans, if you are watching at home right here live on NJPW World,
