00:133, 2, 1
00:32It has certainly been a sweltering summer right here in the Land of the Rising Sun
00:37Yu Yuomura and the Heat Storm have wrecked right through every single prefecture
00:43And we have hit across the G1 Climax Series, Yuomura walks in tonight
00:47Not exactly the winning record he wanted entering this matchup with six points
00:51But still a hell of an opportunity to find himself into a semi-final spot in Ryog
00:57Oku Sumo Hall
01:02Ark Aonkoshki Sen: 3 wins, 3 losses, 6 points
01:06Heat Lake
01:08Yuya Uemura
01:51Thank you for watching.
02:24I know you have the opportunity to catch up on Honore not too long ago.
02:28Back in Corcoran Hall, a man who's still days on from his fight with the IW
02:32GP Global Heavyweight Champion, Gabe Kidd, is feeling the wounds of war.
02:37And certainly a sore spot to talk about there, a man who is now eight points on the board, a
02:43reigning triple champion across New Japan and New Zealand.
02:46It is Honore who will go one-on-one with Yu Yu Omura for the first
02:50time in two years.
02:51Yeah, definitely still feeling the effects with Honore of that fight with Gabe Kidd for Koka a
02:57couple of nights ago.
03:00But knows that he can beat Yu Yu Omura as he did two years ago.
03:20The IWGP Tag Team Champion, never openweight six-man Tag Team Champion.
03:25Aotearoa Heavyweight Champion, Honore.
03:34Well, every year if you're very keenly focused on the New Japan calendar, you might notice that it
03:40's a somewhat tradition.
03:42August the 8th for an event to happen in Yokohama.
03:46It all goes back to Super Monday back in August the 8th, 1988.
03:508-8-88 was the date where Tatsumi Fujinami and Antonio Noki wrest
03:55led for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship,
03:57a match where Noki put his career on the line against Fujinami in a bid to win
04:04The IWGP Heavyweight title.
04:06And they went to a 60-minute full-time draw.
04:10It was the stuff of legend and really elevated Fujinami's status into the upper echelon
04:16of professional wrestling.
04:17There's so much of Tatsumi Fujinami in Yu Yu Yu Omura.
04:21And here we are in the 8th year of the Reiwa era.
04:24It is 8-8-8 on the Japanese calendar.
04:28And Yu Yu Omura fighting to get to 8 points Walker against Hinari here tonight.
04:36What?
04:37Yeah.
04:48What's in there?
04:50You got to the conversation about the strength game between Yu Yu Omura and Hinari.
04:54There is no doubt in my mind or anyone else's that Hinari may be the more expert stri
04:58ker.
04:58But Yu Yu Omura has battened down the hatches in a lot of different ways when
05:02It comes down to technique.
05:02There are many discrepancies, and in what prescription
05:05Ioiorime is
05:05If it's Charmaster
05:07Slythus Carry
05:09Team race
05:09Hiring Race
05:10Link races
05:12Structure Master
05:13Hiring Race
05:29Headbutt led to Streets of Rage, that was it.
05:33You can certainly see throughout the duration of this matchup that Yu Yu Amora has become a more
05:39focused competitor since the last time he wrestled Hanare Chris.
05:42And it is certainly being showcased in the center of the ring, but Hanare is a man who
05:47has gone through a lot of struggle since then,
05:49went through injuries, spent a little over a year, under a year off the shelf,
05:54and Hanare now looking to prove something in this year's G1.
05:57Yeah,so both of the men have something to prove, no doubt about it.
06:03Uri Amora has been talking that big game of a new standard of strong style,
06:07you can't really represent the new standard until you are the standard.
06:13A 3-3 and even is not a position Uri Amora wants to be in.
06:26Wow, I mean you can hear the difference in terms of the hand.
06:30You can see it, and Yu Yu Amora and Hanare both feel it through one another.
06:35Uri Amora is really trying to go the strike route with Hanare.
06:39And it is certainly...Oh, I think that surprised Hanare there.
06:44I think Hanare was expecting that double chop in the corner.
06:48I actually found the knee of Uri Amora instead right under the jaw.
06:51That surprised him without a doubt.
06:54I really think that Yu Yu Amora,there's times you draw him out of his comfort zone.
06:59And he is one of the best in the world.
07:01You keep him in his comfort zone,he's even better.
07:03Yu Ya,oh,driven down there by Hanare.
07:06I think back to the fight between Uri Amora and Utah Ice backing Cork and Hall singles
07:10Action Chris.
07:11I mean the striking ability of Yu Yu Amora certainly is not one to underestimate.
07:18Nor is the anger and the fire of Yu Yu Amora.
07:21But in the end he won that match via submission.
07:24Right.
07:24And that is whereUri Amora has his bread button so to speak.
07:43It is a long way down.It is a piece frozen in time.Hanare looking for the cover.
07:50Two counts right there.
07:56Eight points on the board for Hanare.
07:58The man who is certainly not feeling too comfortable knowing that Gabe Kidd,
08:02the lone stander at the top of B block with ten points.
08:06Gabe Kidd used Hanare as a stepping stone the last time we were alive in Fuku
08:09Oka.
08:10I'm always the one, yeah.
08:12For sure.
08:12And I think that's the position where even if Hanare moves up to ten in this matchup
08:18as he can,
08:18he would move up to second place, not to first.
08:31The converse is that if Yu Amora can put away Hanare,he would really increase that crowd
08:38at eight.
08:38It's very,very crowded at the top in B block right now.
08:43Here's the cover.
08:44Two count.
08:54Five minutes have passed.
08:55You have a 30 minute time limit here tonight as Yu Yu Amora and Hanare
08:58re competing their second ever singles fight and Hanarei a number, take a look at this Chris.
09:03Yeah island Deathgrip right there.

09:43The boy always
09:45yes
09:45If there is still only one person inside, the person inside is
09:45You're the one who started it.
09:47When I look into their eyes...

09:55Thick,
09:56Cola Cola
09:57D questi is
10:01Wine's behavior
10:04It's obvious.
10:04I too
10:04Hanari has to hope it is not a lethal injection to his Block B hopes and dreams.
10:17We're a little over five minutes into this fight already and
10:20the way that Hanari has thrown so much into Uemura, Uemura seemingly spent.
10:25Yeah, yeah, you're right.
10:26I mean, Uemura's got a great grass tank on him, but already feels tied out.
10:34Now, the difference is the connection he has to the people, Walker.
10:38And that is something that gives you a little bit of extra oxygen in the lungs.
10:44Certainly something that has driven Uemura to great heights before New Japan Cup 2026 final
10:50ists.
10:51And would love to put down a member of United Empire.
10:54Nice half hatch there.
10:56Cover here for Katsu Uemura.
10:57Great, great catch wrestling, brilliant catch wrestling.
11:00The benefit of that half hatch, he already had the arm, it was already a guinea.
11:04And when it came off the shoulder, the shoulder came off the canvas rather,
11:08Uemura is able to negotiate this straight arm here.
11:17And Hanari just boot tips away from the bottom rope, and this matchup rolls on today.
11:28The difference is, I mean, Hanari has so much pride in him, so much determination.
11:34He's a very difficult man to tap out.
11:37He's certainly not gonna tap out to conserve himself in any way.
11:41Especially not this late into a tournament scenario, Chris.
11:44A guy who severs the tendons in his knee and still, you know, is determined to walk out
11:50on his own power as he did a couple of years ago.
11:53He's not a man who's gonna tap out to a painful submission.
11:55No doubt about it.Hanari here.
11:58With so much offense in his career, and Uemura is gonna keep throwing it all his way tonight.
12:04Oh, nice.
12:05Big back suplex right on the back of the head of Hanari.
12:08Cover here tonight.
12:09And count two.
12:11We talk about a Polynesian skull being the hardest skull in pro wrestling.
12:16That's certainly a line Hanari's like to use, but the neck of Hanari certainly could
12:20be the target of Uemura going forward.
12:25As Uemura thinks it.
12:28No!
12:29No!
12:30Hanari back in the clutches.
12:32Hanari taking the shine off Uemura here.
12:36And it's dead, and it's dead.
12:37Uemura, one of that dragon, Hanari's out of it.
12:40Off the ropes one more time.
12:42Mounting drop.
12:52Mounting drop from Hanari.
12:54Yuyu Amura is feeling a lot of pain and pressure right now in the middle of Yokoh
12:57ama Boudicca.
13:00Go to his Hanari though getting a little bit of time to recover.
13:05Get some circulation down into that arm.
13:08So Hanari's key offense when you talk about the powerbomb he likes to use.
13:14Hanari in terms of the ultima the full Nelson kind of reliant on that arm.
13:18As a native knee driven right into the jaw of Uemura.
13:23The legs,the bases we said so,so tough in the stand up and Hanari's still standing.
13:32I'm just amazed at the fighters that both of these men have become.
13:36And the sky is the limit here tonight.
13:39Here we go.
13:39Hanari is thinking it.
13:42Oh, Uemura for the cover.
13:44Still a two count there on Hanari.
13:45Uh-oh.
13:46Got that rugby punt right through.
13:48But Yuya is still standing.
13:52Hanari is going to need to pull something deeper than the rampage tonight on Yuya Am
14:07ura for a victory.
14:10Hanari.
14:11And I think there's moments you can sense that Hanari realizes in real time, hey,
14:15I'm fighting a tougher man than I faced two years ago.
14:19Well,maybe Hanari would be forced to admit that he's facing a more determined man in Yu
14:28ya Amura than he faced two years ago.
14:29The game is constantly elevating here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
14:35The best just keep on getting better.
14:39You have to be the best of the best to be G1 Climax winning.
14:46And all right off the ropes tonight.
14:48What a drive-through.
14:50It's going to be on.
14:52Go back to it.
14:53Yuya Amura on the cross arm on Hanari.
14:55Yeah, there you go.
15:06Yuya Amura now.
15:08And you see that the shoulders down for Hanari.
15:11I know Amura counted two one more time.
15:13And they are right back into it.
15:15And more getting to the Battle of Strikes with the Maori Moorer.
15:19That is Hanari.
15:24And again Hanari blows right through that shot.
15:28One more going to Rock.
15:30Oh!
15:32That hammerhead just ran straight into a spear.
15:37Right into his spear.
15:37And the dropkick from over.
15:39And now, here we go.
15:40I'm thinking about a deadbolt here.
15:42Shot that door!
15:45Ion grips have appeared.
15:48Ion grips have appeared.
15:51Just one hit storm.
15:56Aeon's hit storm
16:00There are still no one who will take it.
16:16maybe this will be, can he have enough to get him up, he does
16:22not for long, uomura right back to that left arm of hanari
16:27he's being torn apart by uomura all throughout this fight chris
16:32Falkenstein into the armbar
16:36key in so many key matches for uomura
16:40Chris Janilson has received this transfer.
16:46It's really chewy.
16:47Removing the arm
16:54Umura
16:56Umura
16:56Umura is not good
16:59Umura is not good
17:03Attached to Umura
17:07Attached to Umura
17:08Hands up.
17:09A close-up of the winner.
17:11Hands up.
17:16Wow.
17:19Right on the button.
17:20And that button ignites Webuamuria.
17:24jalmett suplex on Hanari.
17:30And a turbo suplex.
17:33No.
17:35No.
17:43Pinare and Uomura are going a distance here tonight.
17:47And YuYi Uomura is trying to close it for a three count.
17:52Yeah, he's trying to shut that door, put the hooks in, once deadbolt.
18:02That's using your head.
18:04You do not try and headbutt the hardest goal in professional wrestling.
18:10That's it, that's it, somebody call it.
18:13This is exactly how he lost two years ago.
18:16But now, up with the power, but wait, wait, wait, wait, Timbalt.
18:28YuYi Uomura is locked in tonight with a deadbolt suplex.
18:32And Uomura has got to try and put a close on this one here and now.
18:38YuYi from the top, high fly flow.
18:45This one rolls right here.
18:52And now up again.
18:54One more time, YuYi Uomura, he needs it, he needs it.
18:58Yeah.
18:59Fire!
19:00Shiner!
19:02He got all of it.
19:03It's over.
19:04Uomura, eight points on the board, and Block B action.
19:31That was a hell of a fight here tonight, YuYi Uomura managed to outpace it
19:35All right.
19:37And a three count victory has come the way.
19:42The baller is certainly going to be in a tough position here and now.
19:46Eight points on the board has been surpassed by the Heat Storm himself.
19:51Congratulations to YuYi Uomura.
19:53But still a hell of an uphill battle coming the way for YuYi.
19:56And the rest of this, here's G1.
19:58Yeah, I think you'll need some help as well, Hinari.
20:01That's a very, very important tie break for YuYi.
20:32Well, Chris, eight points on the board for YuYi Uomura.
20:35And by my count and measure, another large tie break matchup could be coming
20:40the way for YuYi Uomura on August 11th in the form of Gabe Kidd.
20:43Wow.
20:44The result of that one is certainly going to have heavy influence on our semi-vinal position.
20:50Now it's out, no doubt, and Zack Saber Jr.'s fight for survival in this tournament.
20:54Faces up against an Ultimate Survivor with Hinari.
20:59Two very difficult matches, both for Hinari and Uomura.
21:03They're about two matches where, if they can win it, would set them up strong.
21:25August 11th, B block action for G1 Climax 36, YuYi Uomura takes
21:31on Gabe Kidd, one-on-one wrestling fans.
21:33Coming up next, it's our semi-main event of the evening.
21:35A lot of history between Aaron Wolf and Red Narita.
21:38Third time's the charm coming the way here in your semi-main.
21:41The history of his personality every year.
21:42Thank you.
21:42Thank you for watching.
