00:30Sonata and Will Ospreay, Rocky, how would you evaluate this match?
00:37You're looking at two freak athletes, obviously Sonata with the size, but not by much now that Ospreay has really
00:47added some muscle to his frame.
00:52I don't know, you know, it's a lot closer than you would think.
00:59And stylistically, does Sonata have the goods to hang with Ospreay, whichever direction Will might want to go?
01:06Well, I think that Sonata's done such a great job, especially in the last year.
01:11I mean, look at his matches against Okada.
01:14I mean, he's really shined in those matches and he's really proven to the world that he is ready for
01:21that next level.
01:22Now, Ospreay still has a bit more to climb.
01:26And I think Sonata is just at the cusp of doing something special and I think that it could be
01:32in this G1.
01:33But, obviously, Will Ospreay is a freak.
01:44And this is their first singles meeting, as Will Ospreay had been in the junior heavyweight division exclusively up until
01:54now.
01:57When they announced the blocks, I got really excited for this one.
02:03And with good reason.
02:05In the rip corner from Ken Ross, he's the IWGP junior heavyweight champion, the airy assassin, Will Ospreay!
02:17Sonata won his opener against Zack Sabre Jr., but Ospreay fell to Lance Archer.
02:23And Ospreay and Shingo, both juniors in this year's tournament.
02:28Not the first time that's happened.
02:30Jushits under Liger, Kota Ibushi, Prince Devitt among juniors who have competed in the G1.
02:35In fact, our Palo Milano Collection 18 won the 2007 Best of Super Junior and competed in the G1 that
02:42same year.
02:42As did Prince Devitt in 2013.
02:44He was also the IWGP junior heavyweight champion at the time.
02:49Devitt was the last junior to compete in the G1 Climax Tournament.
02:58So, some rare air being breathed by Will Ospreay at this time.
03:03And a lot of people already think he's the Wrestler of the Year going in to the month of July.
03:12And it's hard to disagree with that.
03:16Sonata versus Will Ospreay.
03:18Two points on the line in the A Block.
03:32Bill sounds and we've got a lightning start in their tag preview.
03:42Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay, Ospreay,

04:05C'est parti pour cette tournée,
04:06pour cette tournée,
04:09leur tournée.
04:13La Lucha background
04:14de Osprey
04:17et Sonata,
04:18qui trainait
04:18avec Keiji Muto et puis
04:21à Mexico, où ses yeux
04:23ont été ouvert à un autre style.
04:25Qu'est-ce que Sonata learned
04:27quand il comporte en Mexico, Rocky?
04:29Qu'est-ce que son style
04:30de wrestling que Sonata
04:32was employing?
04:34Sonata mixes it up
04:36quite well. Obviously,
04:37he's got some of the high-flying attributes
04:40that he's picked up in Mexico on his way,
04:42but he also picked up some of that Yaveo
04:44that you see him use
04:46from time to time.
04:48Wow!
04:50Come on, guys!
04:56But that's the thing about these two.
04:58they are so versatile.
05:05Crowd seems to be evenly split
05:07in terms of support
05:09for both Osprey and Sonata,
05:11both wildly popular
05:12in New Japan Pro Wrestling
05:13and all over the world.
05:23Sonata showed he can hang
05:25if Osprey wanted to employ
05:27some of the British style
05:28of wrestling.
05:29Mm-hmm.
05:31Well, we saw that
05:32with Sonata
05:33versus Zack Sabre Jr.
05:35in Dallas.
05:36And look how great
05:38that turned out for Sonata.
05:39He was able to out-wrestle
05:40the master, ZSJ.
05:48Sonata wanting to...
05:52Is he really trying to show these fans
05:54that he's a good guy, Sonata,
05:55by offering the hand?
05:57You never know with Sonata.
05:59It's so hard to read.
06:03And Osprey was ready.
06:05Uh-oh.
06:06Wait a minute now!
06:07I don't know if he knows
06:10the technique exactly, though.
06:12He's seen it.
06:13Maybe he's got...
06:13Nope.
06:20Underneath.
06:23Wow.
06:29Drop down.
06:31Leapfrog.
06:33Uh-oh.
06:37Now, this is how the Paradise Lock
06:40is in point.
06:42Whoa!
06:43He slipped out!
06:45He slipped out!
06:46Osprey was able to escape, Sonata!
06:48I don't think he locked up that arm
06:50the way that he thought he did.
06:56A surprise there!
06:58And now, Osprey!
07:12Sonata getting out of the way,
07:14and Osprey changing direction
07:16with Flourish.
07:17Three.
07:18Four.
07:20Five.
07:21Six.
07:22Seven.
07:24Eight.
07:25Nine.
07:27Oh!
07:29Sonata got caught coming in!
07:31Oh!
07:31Sonata got caught coming in!
07:37Oh!
07:39Osprey springing into offensive
07:41opportunity with the dropkick.
07:44And now, let's see if he can keep the advantage
07:46that he has gained here over Sonata.
07:49Oh!
07:58Oh!
08:00Oh!
08:02Oh!
08:02Oh!
08:03Oh!
08:10Oh!
08:11Buddy arm's in the metre.
08:11It's just he'sen to the knee.
08:12Ooh!
08:13Well, Osprey was able to escape once.
08:16Maybe Sonata didn't have it fully locked in.
08:18The paradise lock in the ropes is
08:21a whole different animal.
08:24Hey!
08:26Hey!
08:26Hey!
08:27He's gonna make sure this time.
08:29Hey!
08:29Hey!
08:30Hey!
08:31Furze!
08:32Turn your r�ree!
08:40He's gonna make sure this time
09:11Sonata, taking advantage, using his quickness, drop-kicking the knee of Osprey, and we'll see if that has any telling
09:18effect.
09:19Of course, the neck of Osprey has been a frequent target for his adversaries throughout the years.
09:26Yeah, you can't go wrong with attacking Osprey's neck or Osprey's legs at any point.
09:33Sonata in his fourth G1, eight points so far in all three previous tournament journeys.
09:39As we mentioned, this is Osprey's debut.
09:43Drop the opener to Lance Archer.
09:45Looking to get his first two G1 points in history here against Sonata.
09:51Wow!
09:55You almost get hypnotized watching Osprey as he springs into action.
10:00You try to find a counter, and he's mid-flight, and then all of a sudden his boot is across
10:04your chin, and you're down on the mat.
10:06And the same way as Sonata was able to change direction and hit Osprey with that low dropkick earlier.
10:14I mean, both these guys are just crazy, crazy athletes.
10:20Oh!
10:24Top rope 619 from Will Osprey.
10:27Competed earlier in the New Japan Cup and won the Best of the Super Junior Tournament.
10:31Now in the G1 Climax Tournament, making history, competing in the same year.
10:37Double!
10:38Stop!
10:42Shooting star press.
10:44Sure, why not?
10:44Leg hooked and a kick out at two.
10:46Osprey!
10:47Osprey!
10:48Osprey!
10:49Osprey!
10:49Osprey!
10:50Osprey!
10:50Osprey!
10:51Osprey!
10:51Osprey!
10:52Well, with Sonata rolling to safety, trying to create some distance between he and Osprey,
10:56that just gives Will some distance to cover when he flies.
11:00And this would be the time where we should probably duck for cover!
11:04Whoa!
11:10Picture perfect Sasuke special from the Aerial Assassin.
11:15Osprey!
11:20herial Assassin.
11:31Osprey!elle
11:34le springboard here we go pip pip cheerio yes sonata down flat on the mat
11:40the center of the ring marty asami counts to two and sonata kicks out osprey
11:45is really holding his own against sonata
11:52if i'm osprey though i'm gonna go to strikes now
11:56i think he'll have the advantage there
12:02is it pulling sonata up vertical base and dragon suplex perhaps yep oh comes up there we go
12:15oh my goodness wow a pair of leapfrogs a dropkick sonata going high risk
12:29back and forth kevin
12:33anything you can do i can do better
12:50sonata wiping the sweat away and that towel now i'm sure will be treasured by that fan
12:57more so than it was coolie rolling osprey back underneath the bottom rope this is a much
13:03different cold skull than we have seen in tournaments past wow every bit as physically
13:09talented as he's been but he really seems to be emerging from the shell that he was in a near
13:14fall
13:21there
13:21pre-tournament sonata got a lot of picks to win the block he wasn't the favorite he's not the favorite
13:26to win the block
13:28both these men did such a tremendous job in the new japan cup
13:33obviously sonata making it to the finals only losing to kazuchika okada
13:41but osprey hell of a tournament new japan cup and then obvious the best of super junior winner
13:52osprey went two and one in the new japan cup in the single elimination format seven and two did osprey
13:59go
13:59in the best of the super junior tournament a total of 14 points and he gave shingo his first pinfall
14:05defeat in new japan oh hook kick hook kick
14:11tko on the way perhaps osprey denies oh reverse buddy sunday no
14:21right into the grip perhaps uh-oh he'll try another tko osprey trying to fight out
14:33trying to find the handle trying to find the grip whoa but he holds on he'll try it again sonata
14:40will
14:40not be denied oh another hook kick lands perfectly
14:53wow neither man can get the advantage and find the tko
14:59man did sonata have to work for that tko
15:07you saw how smartly sonata was able to pick the leg of osprey and roll through get him right
15:13back up on his shoulders showed wrestling power prowess strength and then intensity delivering the tko
15:22we've documented quite frequently this calendar year how awesome a pro wrestler will osprey is the
15:28very same though can be said about sonata
15:30oh
15:40these two have had a tremendous year no doubt
15:45and they're so evenly matched
15:50but osprey's got to change his game plan those hook kicks were working
15:55keep to the strikes to your point rocky i think the strikes the way to go seeing the
15:59difference that it's made let's see if he can
16:02somehow change the tone and tenor of this match both they're on their knees and trying to fight
16:08back to a vertical base
16:18sonata inviting osprey to bring his best
16:21trying to break the will of will osprey
16:25by absorbing a tremendous shot
16:28and not even registering it and osprey trying to do the same
16:36now they start to pick it pick up the pace
16:45yes high kick oh reverse the bot
16:50sonata decides to spring off the ropes
16:54just that extra moment may have cost him there osprey able to connect
17:00springboard no went for that drop kick came up empty osprey with a power bomb
17:07good job one two and he kicks out
17:23osprey going to the top sonata is flat on the mat what will will osprey do here
17:31he's pretty far out oh osprey the long distance connection the shooting star press and sonata is able to kick
17:42out
17:43that was unbelievable he was so far out
17:57i don't know if the folks at home could appreciate the distance on that that was insane
18:03and now osprey having delivered the high-risk offense
18:09which way does he go does he think stormbreaker does he think hidden blade he's got a lot of weapons
18:14at
18:15at his disposal i think he's going stormbreaker kevin
18:19and that's a wise choice
18:22you got to feel it out see where your opponent is
18:29smartly going back to those strikes
18:33and try it again he's got him up on his shoulders he's going to spin sonata and get his first
18:38g1 win
18:39oh he's got the skull end
18:46at the 15-minute call osprey finds himself in the grip of skull end and it could be it could
18:54be lights out for osprey
19:00when you master a technique like the skull end
19:04it becomes such an important weapon in your arsenal and now sonata goes high risk
19:12blending the new innovation
19:19one two
19:21so close but sonata is able to kick out
19:25sonata going back to his roots with the mundo moonsault
19:28osprey rolled inward sonata thought he was safe but osprey made him pay
19:34made him play with the spanish fly
19:38and now osprey
19:41robinson's special
19:44and he's going to serve it up
19:48and he connects
19:49the robinson's special is the setup to the os cutter
19:58osprey
19:59osprey
20:00no oh switches it into skull end
20:05oh
20:07buzzsaw kick on the money oscutter no
20:12oh sonata went for an oscutter of his own
20:19try it again
20:20oh it's cutter
20:22but he holds on
20:24he holds on
20:26and he beats shingo in a very similar fashion
20:31switches store breaker
20:48what a spectacular way to earn his first two points
20:54in g1 climax history will osprey has defeated sonata
21:02will osprey continues to make history
21:07the junior iwgp junior heavyweight champion
21:12just picked up a huge win
21:16against cold skull sonata
21:22don't tell will osprey he can't hang with the heavyweights
21:26the more limits you try to put on osprey
21:30the more he looks to tear those limits down
21:39what a fantastic job by will osprey
21:49to your point rocky those strikes especially that hook kick
21:53sonata never had an answer for that no and i think that a lot of these heavyweights especially ones
21:59that are around the same size and weight of osprey
22:04are going to fall to those strikes because they're so quick and unexpected
22:13and trust me when i go back to the locker room
22:16later tonight i'm going to tell osprey hey you need to stick to those
22:21to those strikes keep them unexpected keep mixing it up because they're going to be money in this tournament
22:29chris how is history going to compare osprey to prince debit both having walked the similar ground
22:36both walked similar ground but prince debit took a very different attitude to his g1 whereas will osprey is going
22:43to go
