00:03G1 Climax 29
00:05A-Block 30 minutes, 1本勝負
00:09Evil vs. Sanada
00:19G1 Climax 30 minutes, 1本勝負
00:30With Evil taking on Sanada, a matchup of LIJ members
00:33Last year, Sanada tangled with Tetsuya Naito
00:37And that match was in the, that was the 8th match of the tournament
00:41This year, the LIJ members will first collide in the 3rd match of the tournament
00:46And Rocky for Sanada, it seems like
00:52Has he moved ahead in the pecking order in LIJ over the last few months?
00:57You know, it really feels that way, doesn't it?
01:00Obviously he had a great showing earlier in the year in the New Japan Cup
01:04Making it to the finals against Kisichiko Okada
01:07He comes up short
01:09But Okada's so impressed that Okada says
01:12If I beat Switchblade Jay White for the title in MSG
01:16You're going to be my first opponent
01:18Okada does that, he beats the Switchblade
01:21And Sanada got his opportunity
01:23An opportunity, almost, well, it was handed to him by the Rainmaker
01:32So he moves up, you gotta feel that for EVIL
01:38It kind of stings a bit, right?
01:40And how does that factor into EVIL's psyche, Chris?
01:44As best as we can, you know, look at it on paper
01:47I think maybe EVIL's feeling that...
01:52You know, he was kind of the first, he was in LIJ from GAMBON, right?
01:57He was the first for EIHA
01:59He was so close with Naito
02:01He was part of Hamaguchi Gym and Sanada was never part of Hamaguchi Gym
02:06And EVIL was so devoted to Naito, he went to his debut match, Chris H
02:10As a fan
02:11As a fan
02:12So, I think, you know, before he was so loyal to this group
02:16Or maybe his feeling that, oh no, I have to distinguish myself as an individual
02:21As well, yep
02:22Yep
02:24And we know Milano Collection AT is completely torn
02:27As he has deep love and affection for both EVIL and Sanada
02:32Wearing the Sanada shirt
02:35The light up
02:39Plastic sight, of course
02:42As we all begin to enter our trance
02:45For Rocky, though
02:47You're actively recruiting, aren't you?
02:49I am
02:49You've got your recruiting hat on
02:50I am watching the situation between EVIL and LIJ very closely
02:59See, Chris
02:59This is where Business Rocky comes into play
03:02And he's looking to
03:04You know, if EVIL's not feeling the love of LIJ
03:07If you've been passed over
03:08And Sanada's the fair-haired boy
03:09Come our way
03:11Come to chaos
03:11Oh, I see
03:12That's why you put a tie on
03:13Right now
03:14It's a stick now
03:16Right
03:16Business Rocky
03:18And announcer Rocky
03:20Wrestler Rocky
03:21Producer Rocky
03:22Multiple changes
03:24In fact, that's an idea for rockyourmerowmerch.com
03:27Oh
03:28That's so glad that you mentioned that
03:31Rockyourmerowmerch.com
03:32Where you can get all your rockyourmerowmerch
03:33The last match, the last match, the last match, the last match
03:37The last match, the last match
03:39King of darkness
03:43EVIL!
03:43Now in the light
03:44EVIL and Sanada get ready to collide
03:47They're both one and one
03:48And sitting with two points
03:49They're both one and one
03:49And sitting with two points
03:50Sanada won his first against Zack Sabre Jr.
03:53Before falling to Will Ospreay
03:55EVIL dropped his first to fall A
03:57But then beat Kota Ibushi
03:59Ibushi and Ospreay are our main event tonight
04:01And the two-time back-to-back winners of World Tag League
04:05And the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team titles at WrestleKingdom
04:09Will now collide here at the G1
04:15Yes, Milano is a walking billboard for both members of this match
04:19As Yoshihashi is over with the Japanese broadcast tandem
04:24I'm proud to have Rocky and Chris here
04:26Chris stirring up all the boys on Twitter
04:29You're done with that now, right?
04:30So please, shut up
04:35I couldn't wait till you get here tonight
04:37Wait till I start
04:38Oh, and here we go
04:40Here we go!
04:4130 minutes are on the clock
04:42Two points for a win
04:43One if it goes
04:44The time limit draw each
04:45And zero for a defeat
04:48Will one of these men move to four?
04:50Will it be EVIL?
04:51Will it be Sonada?
04:53Oh, Sonada!
04:57Suze the dropkicks
04:58EVIL tried to get the jump on Sonada the other night
05:01Yep
05:01Well, they were tag partners
05:03And the Moodle moonsault
05:07Yeah, the other night was so interesting
05:15When EVIL attacked Sonada from behind
05:20Yeah, it was EVIL firing the first shot
05:24Then Sonada tried to answer and they both separated
05:28So normally the faction, which is incredibly tight
05:31Which we've remarked time to time
05:32Not only that, these two are former IWGP tag team champions
05:37You're right, two times
05:41These two know each other so well
05:43One, two, three
05:46And I think EVIL is just tired of being in anybody's shadow
05:56Using the chairs, the visual distraction to open the door to run through Sonada
06:02And it goes to the
06:04I think the difference in their attitude as well, Chris
06:06With the way their style of wrestling
06:09And, you know, with what they bring
06:11Sort of the blue-collar mentality that EVIL has
06:14And obviously the difference with Sonada
06:16Yeah, and maybe because
06:18Even though they're similar age-wise
06:21Their products are different eras in a way
06:23EVIL, you go back to Animal Hamaguchi
06:25That very sort of Showa era wrestler
06:27And Sonada, a product of Keiji Muto
06:30Heisei era wrestler
06:33And now, the Paradise Lock could be on the way
06:38The Athletic Commission ruled that the Paradise Lock is not banned, Rocky
06:42Yeah, I'm so glad you're happy about that
06:47And now a Ricky Choshubu, the Scorpion Death Lock
06:51Oh, twisting right through
06:54And now looking to tie him up
06:59Whoa
07:00Didn't have it all the way
07:02And EVIL rolled through it
07:03Very wise
07:05Of EVIL
07:06To use that momentum
07:07Get that extra turn
07:09You could have done that last year
07:12I didn't know it yet
07:18Whoa
07:20Well, he's seen this move done enough
07:22And now Sonada's tied up in his own Paradise Lock
07:27Well, on loan from Milano
07:36What is this?
07:37Is the Paradise Lock evil?
07:40Heaven, everything is evil
07:50Sonada was tied up tight in the Paradise Lock
07:52But the drop kick extricates him
08:00And now this is where you're going to give EVIL the edge
08:07Oh, chest burst into the Barricade
08:10EVIL with a 10-point average in his 3G1s
08:12He got a win over the reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion
08:16Because this was about a few years ago
08:23EVIL really taking it to Sonada
08:26Double reverse and Sonada slung into the Barricade again
08:32Sonada's been super consistent
08:348 points in his 3G1s
08:37And 3 years ago today
08:39Sonada got a victory over Tanahashi in the G1
08:47It's hard to believe that these 2 guys are partners right now
08:53One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
09:03Slung under the bottom rope
09:08And now here's the cover
09:11And just a one count
09:13Sonada showing a lot of toughness kicking out at one
09:18We wondered if EVIL might have anything new for us in this tournament
09:24Two years ago debuted the Banshee Muzzle Submission
09:27He has used the Scorpion Death Block as of late
09:31The body scissors here
09:33Those heavy legs of EVIL
09:35Could really do some damage here with this
09:44We'll keep an eye on
09:45Total match minutes as well as this tournament unfolds
09:50Sonada so far 38-18 combined in his two matches
09:54EVIL just 30-44
09:55A shorter effort in defeat to Fale
10:00And the victory over Ibushi for EVIL
10:02Very important for EVIL's approach
10:05Heading into this all-L.I.J. match
10:15And he's in the position of the NBA
10:21Drop some senton and Sonata is ready
10:30Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
10:59Sonata denies the vertical suplex efforts of Evil
11:04But Evil tenacious hanging on
11:06He'll try it again
11:07Sonata over the back
11:11Drop kick into the knee
11:14Wild swing and a miss
11:16Another drop kick to the knee
11:18This time Evil down
11:22Those drop kicks to the knee
11:25A move handed down to him by his mentor
11:37Now Evil got Sonata in the paradise lock earlier on
11:43This rope assisted paradise lock
11:47Really nowhere to go
12:05Well Sonata knows how to get Evil out of it and does
12:14Here we go
12:15High risk
12:19And it delivers
12:24You saw Ibushi injure his ankle in Dallas on that same move
12:33And now can Sonata keep the momentum going?
12:42And rolling Evil back in
12:44And rolling Evil back in
12:58High angle back drop suplex
13:00Here's the cover and a count
13:01Two and Evil is able to kick out
13:06Sonata starting to get a little frustrated
13:13For both Evil and Sonata as Chris told us earlier
13:17Representative of their trainers
13:19Their mentors from different eras
13:24More old school approach from Evil
13:26And the flash
13:28Keiji Muto from Sonata
13:32Oh Evil targeting that back
13:39And now a lateral press
13:42So the outside leg is hooked
13:43And a two count
13:44The attack from Evil on the back began
13:46The barricades on the floor
13:52And a few different directions he could go
13:55Whether it's darkness falls
13:56Everything is evil
13:57Or the submission
13:58The scorpion death lock
14:00The scorpion death lock, yes
14:03He's gonna set himself up for a lot of variations
14:09A lot of things he can do
14:11German suplex
14:16Sonata leaning forward
14:18And catching with some elbows
14:19Now won't be able to stop this one
14:21Whoa!
14:25Another great counter
14:33Watch the misdirection
14:36Whoa! Sonata goes up
14:39Delivers a great missile drop kick
14:4310 minutes pass
14:47So at the 10 minute call now
14:52Sonata will look for a TKO
14:54Go to the midsection
14:58The referee pulled in the path
15:01Evil doing whatever it takes to win
15:04Whoa! Whoa!
15:06A version of Magic Killer
15:08avec le
15:11unissime référé Marty Asami
15:13as le second.
15:19That propelled le référé down as well.
15:21He wasn't ready for that at all.
15:25Et c'est un de leur
15:29manoeuvres à la tag team.
15:31Sure.
15:34One of the World Tag Leagues
15:35and the IWGP Heavyweight
15:38Tag Team titles.
15:39Two different times.
15:40Back-to-back years.
15:57If the back was the target
15:59for Evil on Sonata,
16:03this will only accentuate things.
16:05Yep.
16:09Uno could get close
16:11to winning this match.
16:12Oh my God!
16:14All the way from the top.
16:16Both fans feeling the effects.
16:19Sonata getting the worst of it.
16:22To the cover.
16:23Two and a kick-out.
16:35We saw how close Sonata came
16:38to winning the New Japan Cup,
16:40making it to the finals.
16:41We saw how close Sonata came
16:44to unseating Okada
16:45to become the IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
16:48But Evil right now is getting ready
16:51to put Sonata away.
16:53Two more points.
16:53Here we go, Rock.
16:55Everything is in.
16:55No, no, no, no, no.
16:59Everything, no.
17:00Sonata with Skull End.
17:08Oh, he's got Skull End.
17:13Evil reverses it.
17:15He's got Skull End.
17:17Tries to sit back
17:19and get the hooks in.
17:20Unsuccessful.
17:21Everything is in.
17:24From Sonata.
17:26Here's the cover.
17:27Tall.
17:28And Evil kicks out,
17:30almost beaten by his own move.
17:32Wow.
17:38They are roaring here at Corrigan.
17:46Set and delivery.
17:47First, the backbreaker.
17:51And now,
17:54the Moodle moves off.
17:56Oh, knees up.
17:57He rolls him up.
17:59Inside cradle two.
18:00Wow, that was close.
18:13The Keiji Moodle history
18:15in this tournament, Chris.
18:18Yeah, absolutely.
18:19Keiji Moodle,
18:2095.01 of only two
18:22IWTP champions
18:24to have won the G1 Climates.
18:26While holding the title on that.
18:28and his protégé,
18:30Sonata,
18:31nearly was able to pick up the win.
18:34But Evil had the answer
18:35and nearly got victory
18:36on his own.
18:40And it is anybody's ballgame here
18:42as both struggle
18:43to get back to their feet
18:45shy of the 15-minute mark.
18:51I can't go.
18:54I can't go.
18:56I can't go.
18:57I can't go.
19:06Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
19:08Croshing uppercut.
19:29Sonata, back out.
19:43CYGA SUBAT
19:45CYGA SUBAT
19:462!
19:47Wow!
19:5015 minutes.
19:5115 minutes.
19:5215 minutes.
19:58CYGA SUBAT
20:00CYGA SUBAT
20:01CYGA SUBAT
20:02CYGA SUBAT
20:04It's about the G1 Climax.
20:09It's about walking into Wrestle Kingdom
20:13In the Main Event.
20:22And Sonata could do that.
20:25Right here.
20:27He's got Skoland.
20:31And Evil is fading.
20:33C'est parti !
21:03C'est parti !
21:06C'est parti !
21:07C'est parti !
21:09Oh, huge lariat !
21:11Throws his body into the lariat,
21:14taking Sonata down.
21:18Darkness falls
21:19for Sonata !
21:22Is this enough to...
21:26Couldn't do it !
21:28C'est parti !
21:34Sonata's had two opportunities
21:36at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
21:40Evil won opportunity as well,
21:42but Evil earned that victory,
21:44earned that title shot
21:45with a victory over Okada,
21:47something that has eluded Sonata.
21:52Here we go !
21:54Everything is...
21:56Oh, no, no, no !
21:57Inside cradle !
21:58It's Sonata with the inside cradle !
22:03So each just used the inside cradle.
22:08Another massive wear-in.
22:10It's not out in one !
22:12Oh, no !
22:13That's it !
22:15That's it !
22:19That's it !
22:20That's it !
22:21That's it !
22:21That's it !
22:23That's it !
22:26That's it !
22:34That's it !
22:43That's it !
22:44Everyone is fanboy !
22:44Everything is...
22:45Wow !
22:475, 5, 2...
22:49Go away !
22:50time showing up !
22:52Yeah !
22:5318-11 seconds,
22:54Tata-ya-migot-be,
22:55C'est l'evel de l'evel !
23:25Et c'est l'evel de l'evel sur l'evel de la vie
23:31La auteure est la possibilité de s'y aller se couper la yeux
23:35La question vient d'evel, qui est l'evel de l'evel de l'evel est l'evel de l
23:39'evel.
23:39Je crois que ça ne va pas.
23:42Qu'est-ce pas, il n'y aura pas la possibilité d'être un des deuxges,
23:44et on ne repose pas sur l'evel de l'evel de l'evel.
23:51L'evel de l'evel de l'evel de l'evel de l'evel, avec des deuxges.
23:59Ce n'est pas le mot c'est parti.
24:26Et Sonata answered.
24:32Maybe Evil was just waiting for his time, waiting for this match.
24:39And now Evil will march on.
24:42We know that Evil is a player in this tournament.
24:46He got to 12 points a couple of years ago.
24:52And is already at four, three matches in.
24:58Evil next will take on Kenta.
25:01Saturday, Sonata getting ready for a spectacular match against Kota Ibushi.
25:08How will Sonata come back from this defeat here tonight?
25:14A fantastic match in the eight.
