00:00Aujourd'hui, c'est le final du G1 Climax B-Block de 30 minutes pour le match.
00:31So far in the calendar year of 2018, Zack Sabre Jr. in singles matches has beaten Tetsuya Naito, Kotobushi, Sonata,
00:41Tanahashi to win the New Japan Cup.
00:45And then he beat Kazuchiko Okada on July 1st in Manchester. Strong style of AWP UK for Repro.
00:53The only one that he hasn't beaten yet this calendar year is Kenny Omega. That's because they haven't wrestled.
01:00It'll be five years!
01:00It'll be five years!
01:01Suzuki-Gun, 3-2-2-1, 8.6, 183cm, 85cm, Zack Sabre Jr.!
01:09They just met once, back in 2013.
01:13Zack was with Noah, Kenny with DDT.
01:16But can Zack Sabre Jr. defeat Kenny Omega here tonight?
01:24G1 Climax, B-Block, Zack Sabre Jr. vs Kenny Omega, who is the winner of the G1 Climax?
01:36Yeah, Kenny. Everybody thinks Kenny.
01:40G1 Climax, who is the winner of the G1 Climax?
01:45I said Kenny's gonna win the G1.
01:48G1 Climax 2018, he won the G1.
01:53The man who wins every time, has come to win the G1.
01:58He won the G1.
02:01He won the G1.
02:02He won the G1.
02:04He won the G1.
02:06He won the G1.
02:12He won the G1.
02:15He won the G1.
02:16Pro Wrestling Master, he is ZSJ, he is the Sabre Jr.
02:34IWGP Heavy Q Champion Kenny Omega
02:39This is the only one in the game but this is the only one in the game.
02:43This is ZSJ, I will play you.
02:47Come on, over here!
02:59So is this the time that Kenny Omega
03:04suffers his first defeat in the G1?
03:09Or can the IWGP Heavyweight Champion continue his ride unbeaten?
03:16No champ has done it yet, right?
03:20Last champ to win G1, Sasuke 2000.
03:24No one in a 20 man field has gone unbeaten in the block.
03:28And nobody's ever made three finals in a row.
03:31Well, let me tell you,
03:32if anybody's gonna do it,
03:34it's that man right there, the best battle machine.
03:38By the way, for those of you who had Toriyano as your finalist,
03:43that defeat a few moments ago to Tetsuya Naito,
03:46effectively ends Toriyano's dream in the B block.
03:51He is eliminated.
03:54So if you bet your house, sorry,
03:57but Kenny Omega, a lot of people picked him.
04:04IWGP Heavyweight Champion,
04:06the best battle machine,
04:08Kenny Omega!
04:10Goal!
04:17All right.
04:21Here we go.
04:26Been real excited about this one, Kevin.
04:28and they announced the blocks.
04:32I was like, oh, this is the one I'm looking forward to.
04:36You know, and again, they met once five years ago in England,
04:39but both have so improved over the last five years.
04:42Two completely different people at this point.
04:47and we've remarked a few times about the fracture in the heel of Omega
04:52that he suffered in the G1 special title defense against Cody.
04:55Nobody's been able to take advantage of it yet.
04:58Omega has not been in severe trouble in any of his five victories,
05:01but his opponent tonight, though, could look to exploit that.
05:07Wow, look here.
05:08Kenny's got a mount.
05:11Surprisingly there, and reverses right into an arm bar,
05:16but Zack's got a hole.
05:17Bridges out into an arm bar of his own,
05:21but Kenny's got his head in.
05:22He's got to be careful with the triangle,
05:24but whoa!
05:25Look at the power of Kenny Omega.
05:26Holy moly.
05:31That's why I get excited and pumped for these kind of matches.
05:35Yeah, Omega's, we're going to see a different Kenny Omega here.
05:38He has, he definitely has skills when it comes to fighting on the ground.
05:43Oh, yeah.
05:43But they couldn't be any different, you know, more different.
05:48I mean, their styles are so different.
06:03Look at the added emphasis that Sabre Jr. puts even on a side headlock.
06:13And now, set off.
06:17Leap to ball.
06:19Caught.
06:20Mid-air.
06:21Right after that leg.
06:22Beautiful.
06:31Wow, surfboard.
06:36Oh, peak at the V trigger.
06:38To the midsection.
06:43A very brisk pace here.
06:46Oh, big boom.
06:53Oh, huge drop kick now.
06:56Zack's on the floor.
07:00The rise of the Terminator.
07:02In the ring.
07:03Meanwhile, outside.
07:05Takovicinoku.
07:06The eyes and ears for Zack.
07:11Oh, Zack holds onto that leg.
07:13Goes back to it.
07:17Oh, that toe hold here.
07:21Oh.
07:21Oh.
07:24Heel holds.
07:27Having to let go before the count of five.
07:30Yeah, he's attacking that heel a little bit too.
07:33And that leg.
07:37I guess he's been watching VTE too, huh?
07:42Yeah, that's how we found out about the injury.
07:44It was on a recent episode of Being the Elite.
07:48Now Zack Sabre Jr. gets catapulted all the way.
07:52A long way away from the ring.
07:56Uh-oh, he's telling people to move.
08:01So!
08:08What an insane move he's called.
08:16Wow.
08:17Yes.
08:22Kenny's so unpredictable.
08:24So dangerous.
08:28Uh-oh.
08:32Oh, Kenny quickly.
08:38Escaping that.
08:43Zack, watch out.
08:44Yeah.
08:46Yeah.
08:48The further they get away from the ring, the more dangerous it becomes for both men.
08:55I don't know who it becomes more dangerous for them.
08:58Zack or Kenny?
09:00Whoa, whoa, whoa!
09:02Oh!
09:02Whoa!
09:05Going to work on that foot.
09:10Now the quad.
09:14Just moving from submission to submission.
09:18Whoa!
09:20Geez.
09:20Back to that toe.
09:35Good job by Red Shoes making sure that Zack wasn't able to maintain that hold and you hear Taka letting
09:42him know.
09:42Oh, five minutes.
09:43Two.
09:44I mean, good call on CSJ.
09:46Oh, yeah.
09:47Fight.
09:48Having plenty of time to work over that foot, that heel.
09:53Nice, nice.
09:54The leg.
09:56The leg.
09:59One of Kenny's greatest moves and weapons is that V-trigger.
10:05Start to take out some punishment on the leg.
10:09Not going to be as...
10:10Oh!
10:10Not going to be as effective.
10:12And he's just twisting the knee out.
10:15That's gross.
10:16Not going to be so apt to throw that V-trigger out there.
10:25Oh, that was just cocky kicks.
10:39Brutal uppercut.
10:48Oh!
10:50Another kick.
10:53Oh, those are...
10:55Oh, those are...
10:55Oh!
10:58Oh!
10:58Oh!
10:59Oh!
11:01Yes!
11:07And the escape path scouted did Zack Sabre Jr.
11:11now closes in.
11:12Oh, shit!
11:14Hey, watch out, watch out!
11:15Cutaro!
11:16Cutaro Crusher!
11:17Oh!
11:17That's him!
11:21Putting a lot of strain on that knee, though.
11:23Yes.
11:24And favoring it every step of the way.
11:33Kick to the arm.
11:36Oh!
11:37But Omega gets that leap in Frankensteiner.
11:40Come on!
11:43Hey, watch out, watch out!
11:45Hey, watch out, watch out!
11:48Okay.
11:49Here we go.
11:51I don't know.
11:52Hey, come on!
11:52You can't escape!
11:55Oh!
11:55It's Omega who may not be able to escape.
12:00Yeah.
12:04Zack has gone after the arm, the leg, and now the neck.
12:08And that was a desperate, desperate escape by Kenny Omega.
12:13Watch out!
12:16He'll try it again.
12:18You can't escape!
12:23Yes!
12:23Yes!
12:24And the knee almost gives way.
12:26Yeah, and here comes the moonsault.
12:27Oh!
12:29But Zack somehow gets that triangle arm bar.
12:37And now he's keeping a hold of the triangle, wearing down Omega.
12:42Oh!
12:43Come on, Zack!
12:46Zack has taken a lot of punishment, a lot of damage from Omega.
12:49But this is the deepest trouble the champ has been in in this tournament.
13:01Now the crowd really rallying behind the champ.
13:05Went to put that boot up!
13:09Zack got it.
13:12DDT!
13:16With emphasis of DDT.
13:19And the knee.
13:19Come on!
13:20You'll get Zack, come on!
13:26Watch out!
13:27Kenny looking to fall!
13:29Twisting Pascato!
13:31From the champion!
13:34Come on Zack!
13:36Come on!
13:38Kinda!
13:40Yeah, Omega's leg is in bad shape.
13:45But he is gutting through.
13:51Yeah, but it's not stopping him, Kevin.
13:53Nope!
13:54He's firing at all cylinders either way.
14:01Going to the top.
14:04Whoa, whoa, whoa!
14:06Oh!
14:07And Zack wraps that arm up!
14:10By the way, Taka alerted Zack as to where Omega was.
14:15Taka Minchinoku continued to pay dividends as a corner man.
14:20But now, Omega where he wanted to be a few moments ago.
14:24Cross body.
14:25Whoa!
14:26Whoa!
14:29Now Zack going after that arm!
14:32He's got the double!
14:34He's got the double with Zack McKinney!
14:37German Suplex is out!
14:45The power advantage sits with Omega.
14:47You saw it on display there.
14:49Yeah, come on!
14:50But Zack is all over him, Kevin.
14:53Attacking the arm, attacking the leg, attacking the neck.
14:56He's got an answer for everything.
15:15And Omega fight back another challenge here to his perfect streak in the G1.
15:21Oh!
15:26Trying to lift him up!
15:30Spikes him.
15:32But now, across the ropes, V-Trigger coming up!
15:36Oh!
15:37All the way!
15:39The most physically dominant champion in wrestling today is Kenny Omega.
15:46Here comes the one-winged Angel!
15:4812 points!
15:49Whoa!
15:52Zack's got a hold of that arm!
15:57But he isn't hurt!
16:02I don't know if he's got the power to break that!
16:08He's really big stuff, but he almost breaks it!
16:11Kenny's out!
16:12Snap-dragging!
16:19CSJ was in too much trouble to break that...
16:22That wrist!
16:24No!
16:25No, Zack!
16:26Here we go!
16:27One-winged Angel!
16:28One-winged Angel!
16:31Wait a minute, wait a minute!
16:32You're a big clutch!
16:33You're a big clutch!
16:35Stole!
16:38V-Trigger!
16:39No!
16:41No!
16:42Oh!
16:43Somehow he's got a single leg Boston Crab!
16:47What the hell?
16:50And he's got Kenny Omega in perfect position!
16:55Going back to that foot!
16:57Now he's got the heel hook!
17:00You talked about the broken heel!
17:01And now he's got Kenny wrapped up!
17:08He's got a heel hook!
17:10He's got an arm bar!
17:12And he's got a triangle on him!
17:15He's got an arm bar!
17:20He's got a heel hook!
17:21Omega trying to escape!
17:22Trying to escape!
17:23He breaks through two!
17:25Oh, but Zack's still got a hole!
17:29Whoa!
17:30Power from Zack Sabre Jr!
17:32Throwing Omega right on his head!

18:03This move led up to the New Japan Cup.
18:06It could lead it to win over Omega !
18:09Yeah, Kenny trying to go after the fingers.
18:12Trying to hold on that one after the hairs.
18:17Deli subjet everybody else.
18:19Why not add Omega's name to the list ?

18:30C'est parti !
18:31Et maintenant, il a a hole !
18:32Et maintenant, Kenny Omega est en beaucoup de trouble !
18:35Il ne peut juste pas être en ce que ça !

18:41J'ai encore un coup de cul !
18:49Tendent que pour cet épisode !
18:51Encore là-bas !
18:57On a win!
18:57Come on, Zach!
19:04Zach has thrown everything out of Omega at this point.
19:08Yes.
19:09And Takumi Jinoku guiding Zach Sabre Jr.
19:12Trying to help him do another victory here.
19:15P.K.
19:16Oh, wait!

19:48Two !
19:49Oh !
19:50Another one !
19:52Two !
20:02Was that three ?
20:06That was three Kevin !
20:12Alright !
20:14One more !
20:15There's great debate for
20:17Zack Sabre Jr.
20:20But my goodness, Kenny Omega
20:22finds another way to win !
20:27Kenny Omega just moved
20:30to 12 points !
20:31Yes !
20:36And he didn't win
20:37with the V Trigger !
20:38He didn't win
20:39with the one-winged angel !
20:41Zack Sabre was pissed !
20:44And rightfully so !
20:48Come on !
20:51The winner of the V Block
20:53is Kenny Omega
20:54the winner of Kenny Omega
20:56the winner of Kenny Omega
20:56Zack had this thing won
20:58though, Rock !
20:58He had Orienteering
21:00with Napalm Death !
21:01He couldn't get him
21:02back into position !
21:03He went for that
21:03Zack Driver again !
21:07Hindsight maybe !
21:08Maybe he goes back to the leg
21:10instead of trying to win
21:11with power !
21:16Understandably upset !
21:17Understandably upset !
21:27It'll be hard to climb
21:29to 12 points now, right ?
21:34He can get to 12 !
21:36But Omega's got the tiebreaker !
21:39Oh man !
21:42That might have just ended
21:43his whole G1 !
21:45Yep !
21:47What a surprise !
21:54So well-rounded both men !
21:57But if you thought Omega
21:58was a one-trick pony !
22:00If you didn't think
22:01he had skills beyond
22:04his most famous
22:05high-impact moves !
22:07We saw it right there !
22:09That was a great win !
22:15Ishii Yano and then Ibushi !
22:18Yet to come for Kenny Omega !
