00:00Politiquement Chris this was something that never would have happened but five years away from Japan everything has changed
00:06Kenta's mindset coming into this tournament, how would you describe it?
00:10I think a lot of people don't know...
00:12Hold on a second, Katsura Shibata
00:16Well we didn't even get to the Shibata connection between both
00:21That might be the only connection there between the two
00:24When you talk about Kenta, you talk about King's World, you talk about pro-wrestling Noah
00:34And Shibata joining the Japanese broadcast team over to our right
00:38Well I mean Shibata, this is almost Kenta and Tanahashi, it's almost like Shibata and Tanahashi from five, six years
00:46ago
00:46Right
00:46And that connection that they had, and now here comes Kenta into this spot
00:52Kenta, as I said King's Road, all of that tradition
00:56Tanahashi that different tradition
00:58Strong style versus King's Road all over again potentially
01:02Right, Tanahashi had been very critical of Shibata's style of wrestling Chris
01:07That's exactly right, a very sort of straight up, such an aggressive, stiff style so to speak
01:14The style that Kenta proposes to bring into New Japan, he said before coming into the G1
01:20You know, maybe my style doesn't match with the New Japan health style, quote and quote
01:25And maybe that's a good thing for him in terms of offering something different to the competition
01:30But it's something Tanahashi is very opposed to
01:34The lineage between Kenta to Kenta Kobashi
01:38Yeah, it was Kenta Kobashi that brought Kenta into Noah
01:45Kenta, you know, he wasn't sure, can I use my name in Noah
01:49It was Kenta Kobashi that granted him his name, Kenta
01:53So the lineage from Kenta goes to Kenta Kobashi, which goes beyond to Giant Baba
01:59Right
01:59Tanahashi, the different lineage to Muto, Fujinami, to Inoki
02:05We were talking to one of the techs here before that this is very similar to Tatsumi Fujinami
02:10Versus an Akira Maeda type of striker in mixed martial arts
02:20KENTA!
02:23And five years away from Japan
02:27Has competed all over the world during that time, but everything has changed
02:31The entire landscape of Japanese wrestling is completely turned upside down
02:36And now Kenta has returned to Japan, this time competing in the G1 Climax Tournament
02:45KENTA will be czasie on categorical
03:05KENTA, represents the world as he will be
03:09But this match
03:11more than just stylistic differences
03:16promotional rivalries
03:18differences of opinion
03:19at its core it's about two points
03:22in the G1 Climax Tournament
03:24and you're looking at the defending
03:26G1 Climax Tournament champion
03:28and Tanahashi who suffered a defeat
03:31to Okada in the opener
03:33a match that historically
03:34as we said earlier had always gone to a
03:36time limit draw so that's one point
03:39that the ace does not have
03:40that he could need by tournament's end
03:45he went 7-1-1
03:47and 15 points last year
03:49the highest point total in the 20-man
03:51field history
03:56he won his third G1
03:59last year
04:00and he's every bit the standard bearer
04:03of New Japan Pro Wrestling
04:04and he faces tonight the man
04:06who was a true legend in Pro Wrestling Noah
04:09starting in 2003 as a junior heavyweight
04:11eventually growing into a heavyweight
04:14and riding that company
04:16and carrying it to great heights
04:18success all the way
04:19until 2014
04:20but now Kenta back in Japan
04:22in 2019
04:23for the ace
04:25still on top of the world
04:27Rock
04:27yeah Kevin
04:28you know
04:29we talked about the differences
04:31between them
04:31and you know
04:32the only really common
04:33analogy is
04:35Katsura Shibata
04:36but if you think about it
04:38Kenta finds himself
04:39in the same position
04:40that Tanahashi was in last year
04:42with a lot of the doubters
04:44people talking
04:45does Kenta actually belong
04:47in New Japan Pro Wrestling
04:48we know he's had a last
04:50a very hard
04:51last few years
04:53the same way Tanahashi
04:54played with injuries
04:55the same way that Tanahashi was
04:57Kenta was
04:58and now he finds himself
04:59in the G1
05:00going against the ace
05:01the defending champion
05:06the link between
05:08of course Shibata
05:09and both men
05:09historic
05:10Shibata was in the corner
05:12of Tanahashi
05:13when he won the
05:13G1 Climax Tournament
05:15last year
05:15over Kota Ibushi
05:16in the final
05:17and Shibata was training
05:19Kenta
05:20in preparation
05:20for this year's
05:22G1 Climax Tournament
05:23and the roots
05:24going back
05:25back a long way
05:25in fact Shibata
05:28Kenta said
05:29that corner dropkick
05:30that's synonymous
05:31with Shibata
05:32I was doing it first
05:33that's exactly right
05:35so the mental approach
05:37to this match
05:37we know the kicks
05:38and strikes
05:39for Kenta
05:40and for Tanahashi
05:42the Dragon Screw Leg Whip
05:43perhaps his only answer
05:47or perhaps his best answer
05:49let's say it that way
05:52is going to be
06:03an elbow tie-up
06:05center of the ring
06:08Katsuya Shibata looking on
06:09off to our right
06:11part of the Japanese broadcast team
06:13we had some great shots
06:14of Shibata watching
06:15Kenta's match
06:16with Kota Ibushi
06:17in Dallas
06:19eight days ago
06:24in fact the
06:25AXS TV crew
06:26went back
06:27a third time
06:28to ask for another shot
06:30of Shibata
06:30and he shooed them away
06:31said I want to watch
06:32this match
06:33please leave me alone
06:37a lot riding on this
06:39for Katsuya Shibata
06:41by bringing Kenta
06:42into New Japan Pro Wrestling
06:44he's also got other
06:46investments with
06:46Hiroki Goto
06:47uh oh
06:57and it's going to be
06:59classic
06:59striker
07:00versus grappler
07:05in this contest
07:07another caller
07:08and elbow tie-up
07:09I think there's a receipt
07:10coming
07:12and I think Kenta
07:13knows it as well
07:16whoa
07:17but he doesn't even
07:18back down
07:18nope
07:20and now they trade
07:22Tana's got to be
07:23very careful here
07:34that was at the belt line
07:36the first one was
07:39elbow dropped
07:40into the chest
07:41Kenta back on his feet
07:43though
07:43oh
07:45just blatant
07:46disrespect
07:47from Kenta
07:48not even a riff
07:49for the air guitar
07:50it was able to be
07:52played
07:52that is the Kenta
07:53of old Kevin
07:56that's the one
07:57you have history with
07:58oh yeah
07:58competed against
07:59Kenta did
08:00Rocky
08:00in both ROH
08:02and in Pro Wrestling
08:07he's got to be careful
08:09every time he throws
08:10those kicks
08:14Tanahashi's got the
08:15natural counter there
08:16and now
08:17sliding through
08:19and Kenta gets run
08:21into the barricade
08:23so while
08:24Ibushi
08:25versus Evil
08:26never left the ring
08:27Tanahashi
08:28versus Kenta
08:28has quickly gone
08:29to the outside
08:42oh but Kenta
08:43reversing it
08:44he sends Tanahashi
08:45in the railing
08:45then follows up
08:46boot right under the chin
08:48propelling Tanahashi
08:49all the way over
08:54and Katsyori Shibata
08:56about five feet
08:57to their left
09:00with a vantage point
09:02as Kenta
09:04blasting
09:06mid kicks
09:07into the chest
09:08of the ace
09:10oh DDT
09:11on the outside
09:17no protective mats
09:18there
09:22yeah straight down
09:23into the floor
09:24of the arena
09:24here in Otaku
09:25you can feel it
09:27yes
09:27and we felt it
09:28in our feet
09:29the reverberations
09:36oh
09:37throws him
09:37against the post
09:43this match
09:43so important
09:45for both men
09:46and now
09:47hey
09:47right in front of us
09:48hey
09:48whoa whoa whoa
09:50not only for points
09:52for respect
09:53for respect
09:54for pride
09:57for the lineage
09:58that we talked
09:59about earlier
10:02and Kenta
10:03having roughed up
10:04Tanah on the outside
10:05now covers
10:06and gets a two count
10:07you know we speak
10:09we speak of Shibata
10:09now in reverent terms
10:11but there was a time
10:12when he had left
10:14the company
10:14in a very bad situation
10:16and came back
10:17and no one wanted him here
10:20yeah
10:20is the same
10:21Chris do you think
10:22there's some of that
10:23same element
10:23with Kenta
10:24I think there is
10:26here's a cover
10:26hold that thought
10:27I think there is
10:28an aspect of that
10:29I think there is
10:30an aspect of
10:31you went away
10:32to America
10:33does that really mean
10:35that you can
10:36cut it here
10:37that you know
10:38that you made
10:39a name for yourself
10:40somewhere else
10:40you're not a true
10:41New Japan guy
10:42obviously
10:43oh
10:48just a
10:49not only that
10:51though
10:52but
10:52you left
10:54to another country
10:56you left
10:56and you
10:57and you didn't support
10:58Japanese wrestling
10:59the way that
11:00everybody else did
11:00and worked hard
11:01to grow
11:03Japanese wrestling
11:04internationally
11:05and to see
11:06what it's become
11:07he was a disappointment
11:08internationally
11:10and he was a top guy
11:11in another company
11:12and didn't have
11:13the lineage here
11:15buries the need
11:16in the midsection
11:17Kenta is moving
11:18very aggressively
11:19against Tanahashi
11:20and he aces down
11:21but kicks out
11:22now of course
11:23Katsuhi Shibata
11:24was able to
11:25rebuild his image
11:26rebuild the trust
11:27and garner the love
11:28and respect
11:29from everyone
11:30in the roster
11:31right
11:32but Kenta
11:33is not there yet
11:34and he is
11:35the provocateur
11:36here in this match
11:37against Tanahashi
11:39in the G1 Climax
11:40and you gotta know
11:41that a lot of the wrestlers
11:43who helped to build
11:44the company
11:45during that time
11:46while Kenta
11:47was in America
11:49or Kenta
11:50was in NOAA
11:50said why Kenta
11:52why should he
11:53be in this
11:55grade 1
11:57G1 Climax tournament
11:59is he a grade 1
12:00heavyweight
12:00does he deserve
12:01a spot
12:02what about
12:03Minoru Suzuki
12:05that's a very good point
12:08so not just
12:10any
12:11perhaps
12:12ill feelings
12:14or questions
12:15towards
12:16from Tanahashi
12:17towards Kenta
12:17but from others
12:18in the New Japan
12:20locker room
12:23Tana just shrugs it off
12:24yep
12:24you know he's screaming
12:26inside
12:27but his pride
12:28is not going to let himself
12:29his pride is not going to let him
12:31show any pain
12:33but the knee again
12:34into the midsection
12:35it's been a very effective
12:37tool so far
12:39oh
12:40and Tana can't get up
12:42from that one
12:43wanting to not show pain
12:45but having no choice there
12:46and barely kicking out
12:49a labored kick out
12:50at 2
12:52surprisingly
12:53Tana has had no
12:54answer for those kicks
13:01Kenta grinding
13:03Tanahashi down here
13:15Kenta has largely
13:16taken this crowd
13:17out of it
13:18and the ace supporters
13:20are on pins and needles
13:21right now
13:25and let's think about
13:26Tanahashi
13:27and his recent difficulties
13:28oh another great kick
13:33suffered the elbow injury
13:34MSG
13:37oh wait a minute
13:39wait a minute
13:40and for the first time
13:43Tanahashi
13:44the dragon screw
13:54coming back after the elbow injury
13:57and suffering the humiliating defeat
14:00to Switchblade
14:02Jay White
14:02the best of the Super Junior Final
14:04openly wept after that match
14:07perhaps fearful
14:08that his time could be
14:10winding down
14:14but the forearm knockdown
14:16from Tanahashi
14:17but he has come into this
14:18G1 Climax Tournament
14:20as ready physically
14:21as he can be
14:23and the defending champion
14:26who suffered a defeat
14:27to Okada
14:29the onset
14:30will now look to get
14:32his first win
14:32his first two points
14:34against Kenta
14:35standing on the second row
14:36somersault
14:37Sintan
14:38down on top of Kenta
14:40he'll hook the far leg
14:41red shoes counts too
14:43and Kenta is able to kick out
14:55building momentum
14:57ahead of Steam
14:57Sling Blade on the way
15:01another great combo
15:03from the ace
15:05another boot from Kenta
15:07oh those kicks
15:11oh great left hand
15:16oh power slam
15:18power slam
15:19from Kenta on Tanahashi
15:28Kenta with a glance over
15:30towards Shibata
15:34and now Kenta will start
15:36to move towards the top
15:37yeah
15:38starting to mix it up
15:40getting away from the
15:42the kicks a bit
15:43using some power
15:45and now looking to go
15:47airborne
15:49missile dropkick
15:51springboard variety
15:56creates distance
15:57and closes in

16:02made famous
16:03by Shibata

17:11that inverted version
17:14is so devastating
17:17the twist of the knee
17:19like that
17:19is so unnatural
17:22and now Tanahashi
17:25will look to
17:26turn Kenta over
17:27in the cloverleaf
17:28and yes
17:32he has the cloverleaf
17:34seated
17:38waiting for the
