00:00ures aprended
00:04The TitanTron of God
00:06As you can see right books
00:08The clouds are open
00:10Here comes the New Year
00:11Urimala
00:25It is not exactly the start
00:29On this day, the G1 Comic Master stood before Ostat Island.
00:35Tokeo, Jipai is Central Roynoun of Kiloco
00:38There were times when I entered.
00:38If you raise Unia, then Weiyao Wing's sumo wrestling
00:40They are independent.
00:40The camera that raises Unia is inside the movie
00:44The ball went silent, and Iyao Win's
00:45Raising the Unia means that the sea surface adds electrons up to two times.
00:49I will
00:50We can win before Unia comes out.
00:52The camera wasn't even there.
00:53The bread of the day... When the camera looks at the eyes...
01:00You give nice is good.
01:292 points on the board for Yuya Umura
01:33and walking into a highly anticipated matchup tomorrow
01:36in our main event
01:38oh is that the main run tomorrow?
01:40it is indeed
01:44what a hard start for him in a G-1
01:46almost having Callum in the first round
01:48now main event against Zag
01:51that's definitely a rough start
01:53That's right
02:02it's Zack Saber Jr. that has been claiming to be blocked
02:05to be the best of the British in New Japan Pro Wrestling
02:08I know you have something to argue against that as a German yourself
02:11but
02:12well
02:14this certainly is a very British block
02:17but there's also a whiteboard block
02:19well
02:19yeah
02:20as you have the German himself in there
02:22Yes, indeed.
02:22so
02:24I mean
02:25I would have liked to be more spread out
02:26but
02:28you never control that
02:29you can only control what they give us
02:31so
02:32you can make sure that the white people
02:34this block will hopefully stand out
02:36al stock
02:36well
02:38saying the quiet part out loud there
02:40awson
02:40well
02:46not to say that that we also have to
02:48have white people
02:49Actually, I don't even know
02:50Henera is I think
02:51Henera is for Maury
02:52Then we have Drilla who is
02:56I think he's half British and half
02:59What Country
03:01I wanna say
03:02Pakistan
03:03Sure
03:04But this is a navy for me
03:06I'm not sure
03:06Jury's still out there I guess
03:09Zack Sabre Jr.
03:112 points on the board
03:12and you could very much
03:13Zack Sabre Jr. with the
03:14hardest position in G1
03:16Climax Bblock
03:17the only man who does not get the benefit
03:19of Shota Umino forfeiting the rest of his matches
03:22will have to wrestle all nine of his block B matches
03:25Everyone else in block B getting one match break
03:28That's right
03:30This is going to be your main event of the evening
03:32a match that has only happened one time before
03:35and that was amidst Yuyo Umura's young lion status
03:38in the year of 2021
03:39Oh wow
03:40For the first time post excursion
03:42A whole new Yuyo Umura looks to put what he sees
03:46professional wrestling's vision as
03:48on the line against the de facto best technical wrestler in the world
03:52and
03:53Looks like we have pre-excursion
03:55Yeah
03:56The dojo longest resident I think ever
03:59Wow
03:59Yeah
04:00I think he's been there
04:01I mean he started at the same time
04:03Um
04:03Suto Ice back in the day
04:04In 2020
04:05I think
04:072020
04:08Yeah
04:082020
04:09He's been there for a couple of months
04:11Got injury
04:11Came back
04:12Got injury
04:13So I mean
04:13It's total time in the dojo must be at least four years now
04:16Sure
04:16I mean it's been a very rocky road for Masato to Yasuda
04:18But now
04:19Yasuda has to take on the leadership role in the no gay dojo
04:22The Senior Most American
04:23Now that
04:24Katsuya Morishima and Shimakato have gone on excursion earlier on this year
04:27And that means Yasuda wants to take on the heaviest and hardest challenges
04:30There is no harder challenge
04:32Than Hartley-Jackson
04:36And a lot of people believe that Hartley-Jackson has been slighted for not being included
04:39in this year's G1 Primax tournament
04:42And the dream of the Jag 136 has come to an end before it could even start
04:46But
04:47Zack Saber Jr. with the backbreaker there on Masato to Yasuda
04:50Going to look to run the gambit the hard way
04:53Only two points on the board
04:54For Saber Jr. at this point in time
04:56I would hate to be Yasuda right now
04:58First
05:01The truck that is Hartley-Jackson coming at you
05:04And then the guy is going to rip your limbs apart
05:06Zack Sabre Jr.
05:08What an uncomfortable team to wrestle
05:09Yeah, it's a very difficult one
05:12Zack Saber Jr. going to make the tag
05:14Wants to take the shot to YuYu Amora
05:16And YuYu Amora saw that one coming before it came
05:20And also no help from YuYu in that case
05:22He's just angry on the outside
05:23Why does he not help his partner?
05:25I mean, yeah, he's taking the break
05:26Because he needs energy for tomorrow
05:27But...
05:28Poor Yasuda
05:29I mean, take a look at this
05:30I mean, you do not want to be on the wrong side of
05:33Zack Saber Jr. and Hartley-Jackson
05:35Jackson is really working over that left ankle there
05:38Wow
05:39And yeah, wishbone
05:40You would not want to be on the other side of either
05:42Yeah
05:44That's what I want to make the tag
05:46To make the tag for YuYu
05:48But then again, YuYu not the greatest tag team wrestler
05:51As we have seen before
05:52Ah, well, yeah
05:53You have some personal experience with that one
05:55You could come back
05:56Yes
05:57Zack Saber Jr. competing in his tenth
06:00G1 Climax tournament in his career
06:02Dating back to 2017
06:05Tenth in a row as well
06:06YuYu Lamora entering his third G1 Climax tournament this year
06:10I mean, Oscar
06:11You have only really gotten into the beginning stages for your own debut G1
06:16It is the hardest endeavor in professional sports
06:18There is nothing else like it
06:20You've heard the rumor
06:20And now you're getting to experience it for the first time
06:22I mean, even back to my long nine days
06:24I was always ringside just for the G1
06:26Just traveling from town to town match after match
06:28And even just doing the undercar was very, very rough
06:32I can't...I mean, I'm imagining right now
06:33I'm feeling it
06:35Wrestling for...I mean, I think it's five weeks
06:38You're on the tour for the G1
06:40I'm sure I'm gonna need a nice little break after that
06:44YuYu Lamora going to take a dropkick to Hartley Jackson
06:47It is Uemora who believes he has a patented style of professional wrestling
06:51And certainly a throwback is Uemora
06:53It has really embodied a lot of amateur ability
06:56A lot of classic professional wrestling style and throwback if you will
07:00But, well, Zack Saber Jr. has his own patented style of in-ring action
07:03And styles make fights
07:05Those styles will collide in our main event tomorrow
07:08Points on the line
07:11You gotta be afraid to Yuya for combining those technical style
07:14But also the high-flying ability
07:15He's a tremendous athlete
07:17But he's also very strong and very skilled
07:19But you can also probably do rank for his dojo time
07:21And his time training with Shibata at the L.A. Dojo
07:24Yeah, no doubt about that
07:31Oh, and Uemora immediately out of the cover
07:34And into the cross-arm there
07:36And Uemora is gonna have to do all he can to try and tap out Zack Saber
07:39Jr.
07:40And that's not exactly a simple situation though, is it, Oscar?
07:43Maybe not the best idea to put Zack Saber to win the submission
07:46Because if someone's gonna find a way out, it will be Zack Saber Jr.
07:51Yeah, Saber Jr. has an escape for anything you put him in
07:54And certainly has ten different ways that he could tie you up out of it
07:57Just like this
07:58Take a look
07:58Who else is gonna come up with something like this other than Saber Jr.
08:02I think there's a very breed of people in this world
08:05Who are as skilled in this division game as Zack Saber Jr.
08:09Wow, and Uemora going to fight out of it himself
08:12And immediately back into the cross-arm
08:14I mean, I gotta ask you, Oscar
08:16Do you think it's to Yuya Uemora's detriment
08:18To try and fight Saber at his own game?
08:20Should he be trying to push him out of his comfort zone a little bit?
08:22I would definitely, I would have gone a different way
08:25I would think it's the best idea to try to
08:29Oh, hold on cover
08:30Get Zack to give up there
08:34But, I can see how you guys wanna try to impress everyone with his technique
08:39And if he can get a submission win on Zack Saber Jr.
08:42It's very, very unlikely
08:43That would put him as one of the best technical wrestlers in his world too
08:47No doubt about it, Uemora now right into the corner there
08:50And one of that chaos theory not gonna happen
08:52Arm drag right into the headscissor
08:54Twist off the top for Zack Saber Jr.
08:57I mean, Oscar, this is what you are staring down the barrel of the gun of
09:00Coming up soon in your own block
09:02Yep
09:03I will definitely have my strategy going into that game
09:06And it will not consist of solutions
09:08Yeah, I can imagine not
09:11As Hartley Jackson, I'm sure this is a man that you're gonna have to tie it up
09:14With preview action
09:15That's a heavy hitting athlete
09:17Leave that up to my, I think in this case Ghetto
09:20Yeah
09:21He shall win
09:22Against
09:23Oh
09:25As Hartley Jackson tried to power around Uemora
09:27Not gonna help easily here
09:29Uemora with an arm drag takedown
09:30Oh, and twisting the arm of Jackson
09:34That left arm is not supposed to bend that way, Oscar
09:37It is definitely not supposed to
09:39Yes, you are now begging to tag in
09:42Yasuda also wanna show out here
09:44I mean, he is from Hokkaido
09:45Yeah, you're right
09:46Also from Sapporo
09:47Mm-hmm
09:48So the crowd here definitely in support of him
09:52Yasuda's gonna get two opportunities back to back nights to show out in his hometown, his home
09:57prefecture in Sapporo, Hokkaido
09:59And it might be the showcase of the world here
10:02No, Jackson crashing down
10:05And a two count on Yasuda
10:07Is gonna keep this one rolling here
10:12Oh
10:14Just gains through Yasuda
10:15With that right arm
10:17And Jackson
10:17With a scent on him
10:20And Jackson with a smile
10:22Yeah
10:22Well
10:23Slice and dice him
10:25Into the cover here for Hartley Jackson
10:27No
10:27Broken up by Uemora
10:29Shoutout to you for making the cover
10:31I don't think
10:32Uemora would have came out of that one
10:36Uumora now
10:37Trying to outdo his career best performance from last year's G1 Climax tournament
10:42Went 5-4 with 10 points on the board
10:44He's already had one match down.
10:45And
10:46Zack Saber Jr. is gonna look to put him
10:48Two losses in a row
10:50Coming up tomorrow
10:51Trying it again
11:00And here we go
11:00Oh
11:01Yasuda
11:02Wow
11:03A superhuman effort
11:06To body Hartley Jackson
11:08Findly a body slam on Hartley
11:10Yeah
11:11Yeah
11:11Yeah
11:11But this is a bigger ask than that here Oscar
11:14Massive Tony Yasuda
11:15Oh so you wanna get him over
11:16Oh
11:17He might have a shot of getting him over
11:18Oh
11:19He might have a shot of getting him over
11:20Oh
11:20Oh
11:20Wow
11:22Boston Crab for Yasuda on Hartley Jackson
11:25Which kind of went the best call
11:26Because
11:27I mean, Hartley is so strong
11:28Eval in his lower back
11:29Oh
11:29He could probably
11:31Maybe not now after the body slam
11:32But push him just
11:33Oh
11:33Just like that
11:34Just like that off
11:35Yeah just what we were trying to say
11:36We saw it happen
11:38As
11:38Massive Tony Yasuda now off the ropes
11:40Oh
11:41Oh
11:41And it just takes one
11:43To flatten down the opposition
11:45Sometimes being a young line is a losing game
11:47Because
11:49Yourmoveset
11:51Oh
11:52It's very small
11:53And you gotta work what you got
11:54Jacket edge from Hartley Jackson
11:57And sometimes
11:58Oh
11:58Oh
11:59You have left to see the ropes going for something
12:00And there comes Ducsot
12:02And
12:03That's it
12:04That's it
12:05That's it
12:05That's it
12:09A victory here tonight
12:10For TMDK
12:11Hartley Jackson and Zack Saber Jr. with a win
12:14But it is going to be
12:15The first time in half a decade
12:17That these two men have squared off in singles competition
12:20The first time since Yuya Uemura stood as a young lion
12:25Zack Saber Jr. vs. Yu Yu Umura
12:281-on-1
12:29Your Main Event tomorrow
12:31Right here
12:31On NJPW Zone
12:33Oscar, I gotta get your prediction
12:39Go into that one
12:40Zack Saber Jr. vs. Yu Yu Umura
12:42Is gonna blow the roof off this place
12:45Well, looking at the start today
12:47If Yu Yu tries to go for
12:49a more submission-based game
12:50No chance
12:51Zack's gonna take it all away
12:53So if Yu Yu doesn't change his plans tomorrow
12:55And go for a different strategy
12:57He will, uh, yeah, tap out
13:00Because Zack Saber will break your arm
13:03Or make you drink
13:07What do you think?
13:07Well, Jerry's still out
13:09But it's hard to bet against Zack Saber Jr.
13:13Even still, Yu Yu Umura is gonna put up
13:15A hell of a fight in his effort
13:17To walk away with it all
13:19Y Yu Yu Umura vs. Zack Saber Jr.
13:21We're here in a Seagulls competition
13:23Coming up
