00:10Ladies and gentlemen, what an encounter this will be.
00:16One for the ages.
00:18Your following contest is one ball.
00:22Guest ring announcer Kirby.
00:24First, from Chihuahua, Mexico, weighed in at 185 pounds, he is the Generic Luchador, El Generico.
00:40Wow.
00:41Kirby, enthusiasm.
00:43Yeah, the VIP, he won a raffle, I think, to do this announcing.
00:46He's fantastic.
00:47The Wrestle Reunion Raffle.
00:48One opponent in this match, bailing from Hiroshima, Japan, weighing in at 200 pounds, Jushin Thunder Liger.
01:02Kirby not giving a lot of thought to the emphasis on the syllables.
01:06Kind of blew his load with Jushin.
01:07Well, he was fantastic.
01:09I give him props.
01:10He might have been a little nervous.
01:12Oh, Kirby just got pegged.
01:13No, I think Anthony Rosas did.
01:16Tony Romo, famous for his ribs and now famous for the man that refereed the match between Jushin Thunder Liger
01:21and El Generico.
01:24And announced by Kirby.
01:26He wasn't announced by Kirby.
01:28The match.
01:29Oh, okay.
01:29This match is famous for a number of reasons.
01:32And, you know, we talked about the, you know, the fans anticipating quite a few things for this weekend.
01:37Number one, the great Muda and Kai taking on the Dynasty.
01:40Fans very excited about that.
01:42Fans also very excited about Jushin Thunder Liger taking on El Generico.
01:46And in the main event, the height of excitement when Rob Van Dam takes on Chris Hero and Roderick Strong
01:55in a three-way main event match.
01:56And not to mention, the matchup just made by the board of directors, Paul London and Brian Hendrick teaming up
02:02to take on the, excuse me, Generation Me.
02:05Yeah.
02:05Max and Jeremy Buck.
02:06You should be excused.
02:07This is really one of the most, oh, it's Liger called for a timeout.
02:14Really one of the greatest second-hands of the card I've ever seen in my life, to be honest.
02:18It's a spectacular card here.
02:20Put on the rest of the reunion.
02:21P.W.
02:21Chico, Russell Mania.
02:22I guess we can't expect anything else.
02:24This card is stacked like a lady with a pair of 32Fs.
02:28Yes.
02:29That's quite stacked.
02:30That's a quadruple D, did you know?
02:31That's a three and two.
02:34And Jushin Liger showing off his experience south of the border by putting El Generico in a Mexican stretch.
02:42And El Generico reverses it, though, into a pinning predicament on Jushin Liger.
02:46We talked about the experience of the Great Muda and how many titles he has held in Japan.
02:52Jushin Liger has basically matched the Great Muda step for step.
02:56He's the junior version of the Great Muda.
02:58He held the octuple crown, the Super J crown, eight titles, eight junior heavyweight titles at the same time.
03:05He would have to check a separate bag just for his titles when he traveled.
03:12Jushin Liger has held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
03:15He could only go by minivan also.
03:17That's right.
03:18Very, very troublesome for him.
03:20Actually, he had to bring a forklift to the building every time he wrestled.
03:23And now Jushin Liger taking on El Generico.
03:26El Generico, of course, former person, Guerrilla World Champion, former person, Guerrilla World Tag Team Champion,
03:31and hoping to put a victory over Jushin Thunder Liger on his wrestling resume.
03:38Liger a step ahead of Generico, and Generico a step ahead of Liger.
03:44A lot of steps though, Excalibur.
03:47A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
03:50Just one.
03:52And El Generico took about 25 steps right there.
03:54That was deep, by the way.
03:56It's possible.
03:58Everybody does that.
03:59A plus for the professional wrestling team.
04:01That's what it says on my business card.
04:04Deep thoughts.
04:05That's what you come to me for.
04:07All right.
04:07My name is 818-350-6900.
04:10That's right.
04:11Call that number.
04:12I will answer the phone.
04:13I will leave your outgoing message on your answering machine.
04:16I will do just about anything you ask if you call that number.
04:20818-360-9500.
04:236900.
04:246900.
04:25Sorry.
04:25I don't even know my own phone number.
04:27Great.
04:27I'm so, uh, I'm so verklempt at this match.
04:30Two mass men going at it.
04:32Really back and forth for action.
04:34Oh, look at that.
04:35El Generico taken down by a headscissors from Justin Liger.
04:38Time for Liger to fly.
04:40Liger puts on the brakes.
04:43And now, oh, look at that.
04:45He just destroyed him with that drop kick.
04:49It's almost like a double missile springboard kick.
04:52Foot stomp.
04:54He killed him with it, whatever it was.
04:55Yeah, a lot of velocity.
04:56Now he's going to look at the double back of the ring.
04:58Hopefully take advantage.
04:59That shouldn't start right away.
05:01That obviously Liger is so famous.
05:04Davey Richards, though, I think he might have taken the wind out of Justin Liger's sails.
05:07There we see the palm thrust.
05:09Justin Liger setting up for it.
05:10But Generico had it well scouted.
05:12Oh, the capo kick.
05:13The rolling kick.
05:14The heel of Liger's boot just landed between Generico's eyes.
05:23Generico being pulled out to the center of the ring.
05:27And Liger going for a surfboard.
05:31The Romero Special.
05:31The Rocky Romero Special.
05:33The John Romero Special.
05:34The George Romero Special.
05:36The Fred Romero Special.
05:38The Bill Romero Special.
05:39The Cesar Romero Special.
05:41The Romano Cheese Special.
05:45Tony Roma, famous for his ribs.
05:47He was also famous for saying that El Generico did not give up from the Mexican surfboard.
05:52Expertly applied by Jushin Tunder Liger.
05:54Very famous for saying it.
05:56Famous right now because he just gestured to me once again.
05:59Now, a show as big as this, with as many people walking around here backstage.
06:05Nobody to operate the bell besides me.
06:07I did the first man.
06:08Well, that's true.
06:09Yeah.
06:10But nobody to operate the bell besides us.
06:12So Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, you know, for all these lights and, you know, this entranceway
06:16and all this stuff, we really like to...
06:17It's a homegrown feel.
06:19We like to keep it homey.
06:20That's right.
06:21I mean, we've got a...
06:22Yeah, I baked chocolate chip cookies for all the life of our views, right?
06:25You know, it's something that we learned from the great family over at Combat Zone Wrestling.
06:30They always talk about how they like to bring things back to...
06:33I can't believe we've given them a shit out of this match.
06:36Right.
06:36Fuck them.
06:37Seriously.
06:38That's interesting.
06:39Anyway, just under Liger, with the abdominal stretch, the grounded abdominal stretch.
06:45It's a modified abdominal stretch here.
06:46He's got a high on the chin for extra pressure.
06:49Really torquing on the extremities of...
06:52Oh, Genetico?
06:53The extremities?
06:54I knew you'd go down there.
06:57That's where he makes numbered ghosts from.
07:05I like a really good hand here, obviously.
07:08More advantage here.
07:09He is a veteran.
07:10Yep.
07:11And he's actually been wrestling longer than El Generico has been alive.
07:14So, I mean, that is...
07:15It's a long term.
07:16Those are huge odds to overcome.
07:18Look at what great shape you should find with Liger's in.
07:21Oh, tremendous shape.
07:22I mean, he is a phenomenal athlete.
07:24He's been wrestling for well over 25 years.
07:26And he's not missing a step.
07:29Especially in there with somebody as fast-paced and hard-hitting as El Generico.
07:33Generico.
07:34Leg Larry takes Liger off of his feet.
07:36Caught Liger right underneath the chin.
07:38Liger very wisely escapes to the outside.
07:40Maybe not so wisely as Generico spotted him instantly as Liger was retreating to the outside.
07:47The chorus of Olay erupting here.
07:52Whoa!
07:53El Generico!
07:56Can you believe it, Colt Cabana?
08:00What a fantastic maneuver.
08:02Bringing all of his body weight directly down on Jushantan de Liger.
08:07A smart move right now he discovers to get him to the ring.
08:10Go for that boot in the corner.
08:12Maybe a top rope brain buster and put this thing away.
08:15El Generico.
08:16That haluba kick is just about the most dangerous move in professional wrestling.
08:20He is knocked down, knocked out, unconscious.
08:23So many men with that running boot in the corner.
08:25And it just allows him to set up that brain buster.
08:27Whether it's in the center of the ring or on the turnbuckle.
08:30Either way.
08:31Generico.
08:32Oh!
08:32High cross body.
08:33One.
08:34Two.
08:35No!
08:35Only a two count says Tony Romo.
08:37Kick out there.
08:39El Generico waving it off.
08:40Excuse me.
08:41At Jushantan de Liger waving it off saying he's not out of this fight just yet.
08:45Generico really at the advantage.
08:47He's really turning tables here for his best.
08:50Looking to do some damage.
08:52Go for that head and arm suplex.
08:56Oh, look at this.
08:57Liger goes for the palm thrust.
08:59Blue thunder bomb.
09:01One.
09:02Two.
09:03No!
09:04Liger again kicks out.
09:07Generico, of course, I mean this would not only be a huge, huge win for him in terms
09:11of the, you know, his steps on the ladder here in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and the championship
09:15in the title picture.
09:16But it also would be a huge personal dream for him.
09:19I mean Liger is somebody that he grew up watching in Mexico.
09:23But now he's in the ring with this man, a legend of professional wrestling as Liger goes up
09:28to the top rope.
09:29Could be going for that super fly splash or the shooting star press.
09:33Now the frog splash.
09:34Knees up.
09:35Generico got the knees up.
09:37Liger rolled through very gingerly.
09:39He landed very tough on those knees of El Generico.
09:42The halluba kick.
09:44Oh!
09:46Oh!
09:47And sucking him up in.
09:49He just killed just...
09:50Oh!
09:51Brain Buster!
09:52Brain Buster!
09:53Brain Buster!
09:55Brain Buster by Liger!
09:57Colt Cabana, this is serious!
10:01Both men down on the ground and take out a lot of both of them, I'll tell you.
10:08It's a fight to their feet.
10:09Who's going to make it up first?
10:11That halluba kick.
10:13I mean we saw it Cabana from our angle.
10:15Full impact on the jaw, the side of the face of Jushin Liger.
10:18But he is back up to his feet before Generico.
10:21I mean Liger the master of the Brain Buster if there ever was one.
10:27Back to the fourth here.
10:28Generico looks to be at the advantage.
10:30Oh look at this.
10:31Those slaps to the face.
10:33Generico gets his boot up.
10:35Liger reverses.
10:36Throw away German suplex.
10:39Generico landed on the back of his head.
10:42But he is almost up to a vertical position.
10:44It's like he doesn't know where he's at.
10:46He's still taking right now.
10:47He's discombobulated.
10:49Liger said that is it.
10:50He called for the palm thrust.
10:52Comes in.
10:53Another halluba kick from El Generico.
10:57Generico coming off.
11:00Liger!
11:00Oh!
11:01He ate the halluba kick and came back with a thrust!
11:05Two!
11:05No!
11:07No!
11:09El Generico kicked out of the palm strike by Jushin Thunder Liger.
11:14Generico showing some life.
11:16The crowd is really getting into Liger and Generico here.
11:21This is awesome!
11:23You could see Generico trying to crawl towards the ropes with Liger.
11:26Dude, his many years of experience, he just put a stop to that.
11:29He put Generico down.
11:31Stopped him from crawling because he knew his next step was to get El Generico up on the top rope
11:36for that huge, huge superplex Liger loves to use.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Is it possible to brain bust in the top rope?
11:43You never know.
11:45Jushin Thunder Liger.
11:46It would not surprise me.
11:47He knows exactly what it takes to put away, I mean, to put away many opponents over 25 years.
11:54And if he knew that that was Generico's weakness, look at this, Liger is caught up on the top rope!
12:02Generico!
12:03Oh my god!
12:05He just destroyed him!
12:09Pulls him in!
12:11Bringing him up to his feet!
12:13Brain Buster!
12:15Beautifully applied!
12:17One!
12:17Two!
12:18No!
12:22Jushin Thunder Liger kicks out of the Brain Buster at 2.8!
12:30That was a near fall if there ever was one, Cole Cabana.
12:33Generico obviously asking himself what it's going to take to put away Liger here.
12:37The crowd!
12:38You can hear him behind El Generico completely.
12:40You hear those chants of O.A.
12:42There is one thing left for El Generico to throw at Jushin Thunder Liger.
12:47And that is the turnbuckle Brain Buster!
12:49He points to him, letting these people know exactly his plans.
12:53The only way he can put this man down.
12:56You can see Liger very slow to get up after that Brain Buster.
13:00After those Hallubi kicks.
13:01And now Generico putting Liger up on the top rope, draping his legs on the outside.
13:08Generico on the inside.
13:10He's got Liger all tied up!
13:13Liger fires in a right hand.
13:14Generico a right hand of his own.
13:17These shots to the midsection.
13:19But Liger, you can see he's fighting for position jockeying.
13:22Oh no!
13:23Oh no!
13:23For the Liger Bomb!
13:25Liger Bomb!
13:28One!
13:29Two!
13:30No!
13:32Wow!
13:35Generico kicks out of the Liger Bomb!
13:39He's got him up!
13:41Drops him down face fast!
13:43Now Liger!
13:45He's got him up!
13:47Brain Buster!
13:50One!
13:51Two!
13:52Three!
13:53That is it!
13:55El Generico put away by the legend of professional wrestling, Jushin Thunder Liger!
14:04What an incredible matchup!
14:07Churchill!
14:07What a great-spologies!
