00:0030 minutes, les joueurs savent un peu plus de la finale.
00:21Je ne sais pas si Liger va pouvoir réussir la rêve que il y a tellement de personnes pour lui.
00:30Il est en 0-2 hole, il n'a pas encore à prendre un point.
00:32Mais je te dis, Don,
00:35ce est un matchup que c'est un jour dans le making.
00:38Night 2, avec Best of Super Juniors en Block A.
00:41Alors, leur premier meeting
00:43était quelque chose qui a révolutionné,
00:45potentiellement, le business.
00:46C'était la discussion.
00:47C'est une des plus controversie de matchs, Kevin,
00:50dans la histoire de l'histoire.
00:50Vous savez, la question de ce qu'est wrestling
00:53et qui définit ça.
00:55C'est le style de l'athlete et le style qu'ils compétenent ?
00:58Ou est-il un casquette de règles, un casquette de l'horsion ?
01:03Il y a un jeune homme qui a venu de la terre,
01:07qui a venu de la sport,
01:09mais qui a venu de l'Horsion,
01:11c'est un adversaire de l'Horsion.
01:12Il y a beaucoup de matchup.
01:13Il y a super junior champion,
01:16185cm et 79kg.
01:18Will Osprey ?
01:20Vous avez Don Callis et Kevin Kelly.
01:22Le action continue de s'arrêter.
01:24Pourricain Hall, Will Osprey a été introduit.
01:27Et il y a été surprise par Marty Scurl.
01:30On night one.
01:31Mais ce qui va se passer,
01:33ces deux hommes ne pas se rencontrer dans une action.
01:36En une année.
01:44tout, c'est un peu plus dur.
01:47Et un peu plus dur.
01:49C'est ce qui s'est passé, il y a commencé à étudier Ricochet.
01:54Donc, il y a eu qui vient de, vous savez, où Johnny Saint et il y a beaucoup d'entre
01:58eux dans le monde du sport genre.
02:00C'est ce qui s'est passé, c'est ce qui s'est passé beaucoup de ce que Will Osprey
02:05a fait.
02:05Et parfois, c'est parce que si vous êtes un gars comme Ricochet,
02:08vous peut-être voyez ce qui s'est passé, Will Osprey, comme un prétendant à la throne, Kevin.
02:15Et la...
02:18...controversy qui s'est passé à l'année dernière, à l'heure, il y a beaucoup de choses.
02:23Mais c'était une des des plus de tout-il des matchs, de l'histoire de New Japan.
02:26Le 1,75 cm, 87 kg.
02:31...Lincoche !
02:32Will up to Rule, the best of Super Juniors, as he looks to repeat.
02:37Two former winners, of course, Osprey looking to go back-to-back.
02:40Osprey's been a couple, or rather, Ricochet's been a couple of years since he was victorious.
02:46But has gotten better and better and better and better.
02:49So it is Will Osprey versus Ricochet.
02:52We bring this here to you on NJBWworld.com.
02:55All the big matches from the Best of Super Junior Tournament, including the finals on June the 3rd.
03:00And if I'm going to handicap this, as I should right now, I'm going to give Ricochet the edge in
03:04terms of athleticism.
03:06He's probably one of the best athletes on the planet, so that's not a knock on Will Osprey.
03:11But I'm going to give Will the edge and Matt Wessler.
03:16Red Shoes Uno, the official for the contest.
03:21Will this take a different...
03:23Will these two men pace themselves differently, or will they look to top what they did last year?
03:28The risk is high, as are the stakes.
03:32It's important for both men.
03:35Well, they're going to look to top it, because Will Osprey and Ricochet don't know any other way.
03:40Ricochet was victorious on night one, so he already has two points, courtesy of a victory over Tai Chi.
03:47As Ricochet backs Osprey in the corner.
03:49And, you know, let's talk a few moments, style of wrestling being what it is.
03:53What did you think earlier, Tai Chi versus Taka?
03:56Loved it.
03:57I love the strategy.
03:58Different.
03:59Yeah, absolutely.
03:59Absolutely.
04:02Clean break.
04:04What will he do?
04:09Ricochet had given himself up and realized he was not covered up.
04:14And Osprey sending the message there.
04:24Of course, night one here in Cork, and featured that sensational, I believe, 11th meeting between Hiromu Takahashi and Dragon
04:34Lee.
04:36And the, probably the millionth time that Marty Scurl and Will Osprey did battle, but Osprey versus Ricochet, they do
04:47it again.
04:49Controlling the left arm.
04:51And Will Osprey, like so many English wrestlers, very good at counter-wrestling, Kevin.
04:59And we will see how he looks to counter here.
05:02There you go.
05:04Classic British catch-as-catch-can.
05:07Snap there.
05:08Into the chin lock.
05:12Quick escape.
05:14Ricochet.
05:14Turns it into a hammerlock.
05:17Nothing fancy there.
05:18That's the most basic thing you learn in North America in terms of trying to get out of that headlock
05:22or chin lock.
05:23Right into the arm bar.
05:30B-block action here.
05:33B-block will continue tomorrow.
05:38Reversal.
05:40A-block already getting it.
05:42I like the tournament format with the eight matches on night one.
05:49Side headlock takeover, head scissors in the escape back to the vertical base, but just that quick, well.
05:58How fast can you talk, Kevin?
05:59That's how fast we've got to go to keep up with the action.
06:02Series of side headlock takeovers.
06:05Both been up.
06:08In terms of athletics and wrestling, imagine if you could go back in time and say, let's have a foot
06:13race between Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, and Jesse Owens.
06:16You often don't have the two best athletes in the same time frame.
06:20We've got that here.
06:23And these two men continue to redefine what is viewed as professional wrestling in the modern era here in 2017.
06:35What I've been impressed with Ospreay is when he gets into a situation where he has to wrestle a different
06:43style, he's adapted surprisingly well.
06:46He's able to rough it up a little bit.
06:51Single leg, Ricochet has dealt with some cervical difficulty.
06:57Oh my goodness, here we go.
06:59Here we go.
07:06Park track on his feet.
07:08Shoulder block, puts Ricochet down.
07:10He won't stay down though.
07:18Nip up, slide through.
07:27Head, scissors.
07:29Missed it.
07:31Wow.
07:32Caught, no.
07:35And the signature, Dueling Pones.
07:40Nobody does it like Ospreay and Ricochet.
07:46Just out of this world of athleticism.
07:52Ricochet through the first forearm, trying to gain an advantage.
08:09Both men drawing up the breath, mustering up the energy.
08:13Pushing forward.
08:19A little frustration here, I think.
08:23Both men trying the athletics and kind of even-steven at the start.
08:27And that same level of parity here with the forearm smashes as both are down.
08:35I want to know the first one to really get dirty in this match.
08:39Oh, and again, each man mirroring the other, driving straight through.
08:44Who's the first one to really start bending the rules, Kevin?
08:47Well, who wants to win more?
08:48That's what I say.
08:49Yeah, because you love a good rule breaker.
08:51If you're not cheating, you're not trying.
08:55Well, so far we have seen some elementary arm work in wrestling.
09:02We have seen an explosion of high-flying twists and turns.
09:07And then we saw a series of strikes.
09:11But neither man able to gain an advantage over the other in either of the, any of the three scenarios.
09:20You know, aesthetics are all great, and we're going to get it in this match.
09:23But at the end of the day, there's a lot on the line for the winner.
09:26You lose this match, you're behind the eight ball, Kevin.
09:30I think for Ospreay, it's perhaps even more important because Skrull got the victory in the first two points.
09:37Now, this fighting spirit business, I just don't understand.
09:40Why would you let anyone hit you?
09:46Good Lord, just poke him in the eye and get on with it.
09:58Ricochet, a little more heavily muscled.
10:02More compact athlete.
10:10Now Ospreay with accommodate, yep, accommodation of strikes.
10:18Ricochet kept his eyes.
10:20Yeah, he walked into it.
10:21Kept his eyes on Ospreay.
10:23You know you chop someone hard when it hurts your own hand.
10:31Reversal here.
10:32Ricochet off the ropes.
10:33Crossbody, no weight turns around, tilt the world, backbreaker.
10:40The first opening created by that backbreaker.
10:43Can Ricochet capitalize?
10:44I think those chops and forearms woke Ricochet up.
10:47I think he was not quite himself to start this match, Kevin.
10:50I think we're going to see the real Ricochet now.
10:54Ricochet's so smooth at what he does, it almost lulls you into some sense of complacency.
11:00I would say Ospreay, even though maybe not quite as good an athlete as Ricochet,
11:07Ospreay looks more explosive because Ricochet's so smooth.
11:15And bring it up the left arm.
11:22The version of the Gory Special.
11:24Yeah, and the pain etched on the face.
11:28And in the voice of Ospreay, you can hear it.
11:38Yeah, that's hard on the ribs.
11:44It's then billed as the future of Flight and the Aerial Assassin,
11:49but neither has taken to the skies yet.
11:52And now Ricochet finds himself in the driver's seat.
11:55It's got to feel good, Don, to know that you've got the best weapons in your arsenal still in your
11:59holster.
12:00Well, and I think Ricochet's got a bit of an edge to him today, and I like it.
12:06He's roughing him up a bit.
12:12He is drawing back.
12:13We saw him earlier run and connect with a chop.
12:16Will he look to do the same thing here?
12:19Is that him for a super kick?
12:21No, big chop.
12:21Yeah, his hero right in.
12:24Well, when you go around calling yourself the king,
12:28you're going to have a lot of people taking a run at you,
12:30and I think that's how Ricochet feels tonight with Ospreay.
12:34A couple of arms.
12:36Maybe going for a, no, I thought he was going for a tiger suplex.
12:42Well, this is innovative.
12:44Well, he's got it.
12:46On the surface, it kind of looks like a stretch muffler.
12:49Yeah, he needs to hook the crook of the arm and bend that left arm back.
12:54Let it go.
12:55Bane to both the leg, back, and the neck.
12:59This is sort of a sadistic side of Ricochet.
13:02I haven't seen before.
13:03I like it, Kevin.
13:04It is a ground-based attack.
13:06So, if you came into this match thinking that you were just going to see
13:10a bunch of flips, a bunch of dives,
13:12you have not seen it thus far.
13:14Ricochet is in control.
13:16Well, Ricochet's smart.
13:18He doesn't care what people want to see.
13:20He cares about winning the match.
13:23Stiff knee to the midsection.
13:26Wow!
13:27Ricochet knew it was coming.
13:29Well scouted.
13:30Well scouted.
13:31You look at the snap that Osprey has on that handshake.
13:35But Ricochet was waiting.
13:36The veteran.
13:38Osprey, the young man getting a little frustrated, baby.
13:44It's important for Ricochet to stay focused.
13:50He wants to become a Super Junior,
13:53Best of Super Juniors champion for a second time.
13:58Elbow to the back of the head.
14:01A second time.
14:03And you mentioned some of the injuries of Ricochet.
14:05I would not be giving someone my neck and let them do that.
14:10Sunset flip.
14:11Roll through.
14:12Out of the way, the PK.
14:14Now on his feet.
14:15Back up.
14:17Northern Lights.
14:17Oh, hangs on, hangs on, hangs on.
14:20Look at that.
14:21Over the top.
14:21Wow.
14:22Connects with the elbow.
14:23Got him.
14:25Now the handspring.
14:27Roundhouse kick.
14:28And down goes Ricochet.
14:29Well, I was about to say that Ricochet is winning the striking so far
14:33until that roundhouse kick.
14:38So much of Osprey's offense originates when he's sent into the ropes.
14:43You have to be very careful.
14:47But when you hit the ropes, it's really a 50-50 proposition.
14:51And with Osprey able to capitalize, make that a centerpiece of his offensive arsenal,
14:58puts the odds much more strongly in his favor.
15:01Ricochet comes in, gets a boot to the chest, and then...
15:05Oh, he caught that right out of the nose.
15:07Senton.
15:07Yeah, that...
15:09Good shot, Senton, and...
15:13Osprey's chest is still hurting from all those chops.
15:19Swept the leg, and we saw him begin to utilize this in the run-up to his matchup
15:25with Katsuyori Shibata.
15:27That soaring dropkick floats in midair.
15:30Ricochet was able to turn his head at the last second.
15:32Otherwise, I think he'd have a busted nose.
15:34You know, that elbow smash that Osprey hit Ricochet with a few moments ago,
15:40the back of the head, Don, and the neck has slowed Ricochet.
15:44Yep.
15:45You mentioned that cervical area of discomfort that Ricochet had dealt with
15:51for quite some time, but now to the chest.
15:59One of the things you've got to like about Osprey, he does have a temper.
16:04And we're seeing that, I think, on display here off and on.
16:20One of the things you've got to watch here, too, is that Osprey is a few inches taller than Ricochet,
16:31and I think it makes it easier for Ricochet to hit some of these moves.
16:35I think the world is his oyster, so to speak, athletically with respect to what moves he can hit,
16:40because he's a couple inches shorter.
16:41It does make a big difference when you're a high-flying wrestler.
16:52Up on the shoulders.
16:54Of course, to the winner of the Best of Super Juniors Tournament goes an opportunity at the IWGP Junior Heavyweight
17:01Championship.
17:02Oh, elevation.
17:05Wow, he spiked him.
17:09Leg hook, sit way back, and almost get a three-count right there.
17:14Yeah, slow count red shoes there.
17:17Of course, earlier in the year, Ricochet could very close unseating Hiromu Takahashi
17:22for the Junior Heavyweight title.
17:24And, of course, Osprey's had two opportunities at Kushida in that title
17:29as the Oskutter countered.
17:32That's a great counter.
17:34Very basic, nothing fancy about it.
17:36Just push him ass over tea kettle.
17:41Now, out on the floor, of course, you will not see any barricades throughout the Best of Super Juniors Tournament
17:46to give the athletes more room if they want to fly.
17:51But instead, now back in.
17:53Oh, not for long.
17:56It's Osprey who will look to take flight.
18:01Incredible.
18:02Just incredible athleticism is all you can say about that.
18:08Handspring, no-touch moonsault to the floor.
18:14There's a term I never thought I'd use.
18:16Springboard forearm.
18:19And the running shooting star, each man so greatly mirror the other.
18:23Oh, my goodness.
18:25Cover.
18:27Two and ricocheting able to kick out.
18:30Do you know how few people in the world can do a normal shooting star
18:34with the elevation off the top turnbuckle?
18:36They're doing a running shooting star with no elevation.
18:40Incredible.
18:44There are fans from all over the world who have traveled to Japan
18:49for the Best of Super Juniors Tournament,
18:52including folks from Australia, New Zealand,
18:54where you'll have the opportunity to see Will Osprey compete later on this year.
18:58and also England.
19:01Robinson Special out of the way.
19:06Bennett Driller, no.
19:08Step up in Zaguri.
19:11Ricochet, wobbly leg.
19:13Oh, gotcha.
19:15Hot shot into a neck breaker.
19:25Countered mid-air.
19:26Right into a stunner.
19:29Oh, just nasty.
19:32Yeah, that's a knockout.
19:34The axe kick is off the way out.
19:36He's off the way down.
19:38Oh, he's done.
19:39He's done.
19:40Oh, he kicks out.
19:43I thought that axe kick just knocked the kid out.
19:46Right at the base of the spine.
19:47My God.
19:48All on sale.
19:49All on sale.
19:51All on sale.
19:52All on sale.
19:53All on sale.
19:54So far, if I'm scoring this on points,
19:57I've got a 10-9 ricochet.
20:00So far tonight, picking up two points in the Best of Super Juniors tournament.
20:05Tai Chi victorious over Taka.
20:06We saw Dragon Lee pick up a victory over the villain, Marty Skrull.
20:11And, of course, Hiromu Takahashi gets a victory over Jushin Thunder Liger.
20:16But who will get these all-important two points here in our main event?
20:21Will it be Ricochet?
20:22Will it be Will Ospreay?
20:24Ricochet in control right now.
20:27Yeah, I don't like the hesitation.
20:29But like I said, if you're scoring this on points, Ricochet's up.
20:35Ospreay desperate to prevent Ricochet from taking to the skies.
20:39Grabs a hold of that left ankle.
20:42And the right hand puts Ricochet in now a defensive posture up on the top rope.
20:55It seems to be more on Ospreay's strikes at this moment.
21:00Yeah.
21:07Ricochet had no idea that Ospreay was going to skin the cat and catch him with a knee.
21:15Both men going to the top now.
21:19Your heart is in your throat as a viewer.
21:23So dangerous.
21:26Wow.
21:27He lands on his feet.
21:28What the hell?
21:30Wow.
21:38Ricochet trying to...
21:42Oh, no.
21:43Oh, no.
21:43That reversed Rana.
21:44But Ospreay landed on his feet.
21:48Ricochet thinks he drove him down.
21:50Can't believe it.
21:52Walk right into a thrust kick.
21:54Uppercut forearm.
22:01Reverse Rana.
22:02No.
22:02He lands on his feet again.
22:03He spiked him.
22:09He's going to go for the pitch.
22:12He's going to go for the pitch.
22:12Ricochet did absorb some damage in that reverse Rana.
22:17I thought he completely landed on his feet.
22:19But you're right, Don.
22:20But that German suplex man, there is no doubt.
22:22Released German, and I believe if Ricochet could have got the cover, he might have won this match.
22:28But he is bearing the ill effects.
22:34Red Shoes checking with both athletes, seeing if either one gives any indication that they are unable to continue.
22:41There can be a stoppage in addition to a pinfall, a submission, or a count-out here.
22:48I'll go on record right now.
22:50I think the athleticism that they're displaying tonight surpasses even their first match.
22:55It's a much different type of battle.
22:57Certainly, athletes have matured over the past year, and now we're seeing it.
23:09Asprey struggling to get back to his feet.
23:12Yeah, he's...
23:13Might be some neurological issues for that last move there.
23:19Yeah, that's German, that released German.
23:23But Osprey...
23:26Finding the will.
23:27Yeah, not as much on that forearm.
23:31The fact that he's able to throw forearms at all in Miracle.
23:36Of course, we're past the 15-minute mark.
23:38If we go to a time limit draw, each fan will get one point.
23:46Rare back and throw as hard as you can.
23:50Yeah, if I'm Ricochet, I try to duck under this waist locket and hit another of those released Germans.
23:55That's his most effective move so far.
24:01Flurry combination.
24:06No can't knock it down.
24:10Whoa!
24:11Huge area!
24:13Knocked him out of his boots, Kevin!
24:16On perhaps luck, perhaps instinct, Osprey able to roll underneath the bottom rope.
24:22So, no cover, no follow-up, pinning attempt here from Ricochet.
24:30Now, would we call that a clothesline from Hell because he's from Kentucky?
24:35Oh!
24:36Down the line.
24:37Good Lord.
24:40To the midsection.
24:45Tries a second time.
24:46Face first.
24:48Gone.
24:59Oh, Death Valley driver perhaps on the apron of the ring.
25:09caught him near the collarbone.
25:16May have gotten just enough of the jawline, though.
25:21Oh!
25:23Oh, they're like suplex.
25:24Hold on to it.
25:28This is what he attempted in the ring before.
25:31Oh!
25:32Look at the power!
25:34So dangerous!
25:36What connects?
25:43And the effects of this match telling on both men.
25:46Out on the apron, contrary to popular opinion, the ring is hard all through the ring.
25:51The middle of the apron the same.
25:52The dangerous part about the apron, Kevin, is that you can't land flat.
25:58I've seen guys break backs by landing on the edge of the apron.
26:06Well, just reading body language.
26:09Halfway to 20, halfway to 2 points.
26:12Ricochet, while encouraging Will Osprey to get back in.
26:15It looks like he's going to get two for a count-out win.
26:19Yeah, take it.
26:20I'd take it.
26:2018, 1, 19.
26:23Yeah, leave him up there.
26:25Oh, come on.
26:26That was plenty.
26:27That looked like plenty.
26:35Osprey had that look in his eye, that fear, like the alarm has just gone off,
26:38and you realize you've overslept.
26:40Would mean the world to Ricochet to win this match.
26:43Yes, it would.
26:46And now trying a Robinson special, one of Osprey's moves.
26:52And he's going to try the Oscutter here.
26:55He will look to build it.
26:57Osprey with his own move.
26:59What an indignity.
27:002.3.
27:02Oh, no.
27:04The ultimate indignity.
27:06Beat him with his own move.
27:10I like Ricochet's attitude in this match.
27:12I really like it.
27:28Throw him to the floor.
27:29Take the count-out.
27:30Bien, vous pensez, ok, shoot le half, put le shoulders down,
27:36see if you can get a 3, mais Ricochet has absorbed so much
27:39in his own right.
27:46I think Ricochet wrestled this very smart match.
27:51Osprey has wrestled a very emotional match.
27:56And those two things don't necessarily coincide.
27:59Well, Ricochet now will look to end things here at Cork and Hall.
28:05On his feet.
28:06Lands on his feet.
28:10Wow, what a crescent kick.
28:12Caught him on the point of the jaw.
28:18Benadrylla, no.
28:19Oh, he caught it.
28:25Didn't get all that, Kevin.
28:31Now, he got all of that.
28:33Yeah, and now Ricochet's going to get beaten with his own move.
28:39No, Ricochet denies Osprey's attempt to win with the Benadrylla.
28:48I think Osprey would have liked to have gotten a little more of that cover.
28:51Still wearing the ill effects of the punishment from Ricochet for the last five minutes.
28:58Stop arguing with Red Shoes and get on Ricochet.
29:11Trying to push himself here to the finish line.
29:15Can he do it?
29:19Super high risk.
29:21Here we go.
29:23And Ricochet.
29:25His equilibrium is off, I believe, from that German earlier in the match.
29:29He's not as steady up there.
29:38So what began with some good basic elementary chain wrestling now has evolved and grown
29:45and become a risk-taking high-wire act that we thought it might be.
30:13That's going to be the gift of the year.
30:18I got to feel it.
30:30I got to feel it.
30:38Got it.
30:40Incredible.
30:46Well, the record book will say that will Osprey victorious with the Oskutter.
30:56But my goodness, that reverse Rana from the springboard and on.
31:02I'm not even sure what it's called.
31:05But it's certainly going to be talked about tonight, tomorrow, and for a long time to come.
31:12And let the conjecture begin.
31:15Are we changing the wrestling business, Kevin, after that match?
31:18Oh, these two kids.
31:19The revolution continues.
31:23Great showing by Ricochet, a body wrestle, a very smart match.
31:35Now, these two men are friends outside of the ring.
31:40Again, as I mentioned, Osprey was greatly influenced by the teenage phenom, Ricochet.
31:49And it was 10 years ago that Osprey's parents bought him a ring so he could begin his training.
31:56And he's 24 years old to do the math.
31:59Bought him a ring.
32:00Great.
32:01My parents bought me a Porsche.
32:13Hands raised.
32:14The victory.
32:16A great moment here inside Cork and Hall.
32:23Trainer's room will be busy tonight.
32:25Yeah.
32:25These guys laid it all on the line.
32:27It's going to be a long, grueling tournament.
32:29We've really just begun.
32:31So now, after the second night of A-Block competition, which has a murderer's row kind of feel.
32:40Two points each for Osprey, Ricochet, Marty Skrull, Taichi, Hiromu Takahashi.
32:53Dragon Lee on top of the block so far with four.
32:56Ladner so far get to put a point on the board.
32:59But a win for Will Osprey, for Don Callis, I'm Kevin Kelly.
33:02Thank you so much for joining us.
33:04Best of Super Juniors 2017.
33:052017.
33:15Cooper a �un Hall, baby.
33:26Hey, Ricochet.
33:29Ricochet.
33:34Je t'aime, mec.

34:35When we done what we done in this ring, in this very place, everybody said, what is professional wrestling?
34:46I tell you all, professional wrestling is an art form.
34:58Last year was my first Super Junior, my first ever Super Junior, and I won!
35:15And just because I had a rocky start, I lost to Brian's best, you know what, no, one of the
35:22world's best, Marty Scal.
35:27I may have lost, but I will climb each ladder, I will get better, I will get better, I will
35:34face Tai Chi, I will face Liger, I will face Tucker.
35:38Hell, I'll even go for a House of Horrors match with Randy Orton.
35:47I will do what I do because I love each and every one of you who support me, who support
35:55New Japan Pro Wrestling.
36:00And I, I promise each and every one of you, I will make the final and I will be back
36:10-to-back best of the Super Juniors.
36:20Thank you very much.
37:12I love you guys.
37:13Thank you.
37:14Thank you.
37:15Thank you.
