03:26C'est notre semi-main-event
03:28de l'avenir.
03:35Le match blues-on
03:37pour Yotosuji
03:38et stepping into the house
03:40of the Holy Emperor,
03:42c'est le même, la main-event,
03:43rather, semi-main-event,
03:45good lord, let's get the words underneath.
03:48Taichi, Yotosuji,
03:49one-on-one.
04:03Bell sounds
04:05were officially underway.
04:17Two men that you can heavily argue
04:19in 2025 are fueled by the fanfare.
04:23Can you talk to me a little bit
04:24about how fan reception,
04:26if it has at all,
04:27has influenced you
04:28in G1 Climax,
04:30under the bright lights
04:31of the biggest tournament
04:31in pro wrestling?
04:32Well, the fans didn't really like us
04:34for the longest time.
04:35Can't really blame them.
04:37And we never really cared about it.
04:39And then,
04:40beginning of this year,
04:41maybe end of last year,
04:43things really started to change.
04:44These people started to like us.
04:45and honestly,
04:46it does make a difference.
04:47It does give you a kind of energy
04:49because you've got to remember,
04:49these people are sticking with us
04:51and following this tournament.
04:53Japanese fans,
04:53they care.
04:54They care about what's going on in that ring.
04:57They don't care about any of the drama.
04:58They don't care about anything on social media.
05:00They're here to be part of this.
05:02They're as much a part of this G1 as we are.
05:04There's fans that are on the road with us.
05:06Yeah, you're right.
05:07All 19 nights of action.
05:10And Suji looking to take a different road here.
05:12Through the middle rope,
05:13Toppe Suji's seat up to the outside.
05:24Blueji's feeling himself right now, bro.
05:26Yota, Blueji.
05:27I love it.
05:28And once he gets his swagger on,
05:30you see,
05:30he does that lap at the ring.
05:31Once Yota switches his swagger on,
05:33he's right there in his mind.
05:34He's where he needs to be.
05:35Does it take him long, bro?
05:38That's something we've seen
05:39all the way from the final of last year's G1
05:42to tonight.
05:44Had a reign of IWGP global title gold
05:47taken away by your man Gabe Kidd
05:49earlier on in the year.
05:51And Suji is hoping that opens him up
05:53to something a little bit grander,
05:54something he's never done before
05:55when G1 climax.
05:58As they're right in front of us here,
06:01nearly at ringside.
06:03Taichi and Yota Suji battling out in the middle.
06:08Our first wrestled Suji in 2021.
06:12He came to even on his excursion.
06:15Black trunks, black boots,
06:16nobody knew he had all this swagger in him.
06:19And then ever since he's had that chance
06:20to get them black trunks off
06:21and put his swagger on
06:22and be who he wants to be.
06:24You have every reason to be stuck in this moment.
06:28And Suji now watch this off the ropes.
06:30I like it.
06:30I mean, full control here.
06:32Suji has had over Taichi this far.
06:34I don't know if Taichi's found any offense
06:36since the bells rock.
06:38And Suji hasn't let up on him too much either,
06:39which is good.
06:40A lot of times you end up in control
06:41when the early goings of a match
06:42and Suji's not fucking up.
06:48I don't want to speak too soon.
06:50Sure, but it's a long bit of criticism
06:53of Yota Suji ever since his days as a young lion
06:56and even since we've seen the complete package
06:58upon return in June of 2023.
07:00Yota Suji in these little in-between moments
07:03tends to, well, let the gears turn
07:05a little longer than most would.
07:06And that's a moment where if he's not careful,
07:09Taichi's going to strike.
07:10And that's what Taichi's made a career off of this far.
07:17And even still, Suji, eight points on the board,
07:20an opportunity to top block A
07:22all on his lonesome at 10.
07:25And Taichi currently sitting at four points.
07:28There is one previous singles match
07:29between these two men.
07:30Took place back at Kizuna Road 2021
07:32on that series.
07:34And, well, very different New Japan at that point.
07:36Very different Yota Suji as well.
07:38Still a young lion donning those black trunks
07:40you talked about back in Cork and Hall
07:42when Taichi beat him in singles action.
07:44You can almost strike that one from the record book
07:46with how much Suji has learned
07:48over the past four years since then.
07:52As now, I like this little Yave cover here.
07:55Just one.
07:58Excursion and CMLL
07:59for Yota Suji
08:00doing him a world of good
08:01especially in the confidence department.
08:03I mean, Maloney, have you had an opportunity
08:04to go to Mexico?
08:05You have before, right?
08:06I've been there one time.
08:07Okay.
08:07Well, you know, I mean,
08:09I'm sure you know all about it.
08:10I mean, there is a
08:10you do a couple tours in Mexico
08:12your confidence can really, really bolster
08:15with the support that Arena Mexico
08:16and those audiences in CMLL
08:18show our athletes.
08:19Yeah, especially when, like,
08:20the only way you can really express yourself
08:22as a foreigner in another country
08:24before you've learned their language
08:25the only way you can express yourself
08:27is on the reef.
08:29You're on buses all day
08:30trains, planes in your hotel room
08:32the only chance you get
08:33to really let loose on those tours
08:34in the country you're not from
08:36is that time you get in that room.
08:37Absolutely right.
08:39That's why the excursion system
08:41at the Oge Dojo
08:42so influential
08:44so important
08:45very different upbringing
08:46for Taichi though
08:47underneath the legendary
08:49Toshiaki Kawada
08:50in All Japan Pro Wrestling
08:52and you might see shades of that here
08:53and the power shown against Tsuji
08:56look at that
08:57step through
08:57Axe Bomber Lariat
09:11good lord
09:12you look at the sweat
09:12pouring off the bodies
09:13of Taichi and Yota Tsuji
09:14you can barely tell
09:15we're just hitting the five minute mark
09:17yeah they've been cooking
09:20they've been cooking
09:21the air in here is thick as well
09:22every venue
09:22it's hard to be able to tell
09:24to a screen voice
09:25heatwave
09:26there's been a heatwave in Japan
09:27since the tournament began
09:28absolutely
09:29it's the summers of Japan
09:30we talk about it all the time
09:33that was pretty warm too huh
09:42how good he's asking for
09:43we're at the point in the tournament
09:45where we know we're in pain
09:46why hide from it
09:47why hide from it
09:48oh Tsuji
09:50catching one of those
09:51dangerous chops here
09:52from Taichi
09:55and right out of the corner
09:56bam
09:58right on the money
10:06taichi
10:06continues to fight
10:07to fight something
10:08for deeper than himself
10:10to fight for those
10:11of his generation
10:12that are not active
10:13in this tournament
10:15men like Hiroki Gotoh
10:16on the injured list
10:17men like Tomohiro Ishii
10:19his tag team partner
10:20and champion
10:21yeah he's not on the injured list
10:23he's just on
10:24he's on victim list
10:26unfortunately
10:27in AEW
10:28oh that's where he's at
10:29right now
10:32I do however think
10:33it was kind of bullshit
10:35that Taichi wasn't
10:36in this tournament
10:37to begin with
10:37sure
10:38and Taichi feeling
10:39the exact same way
10:39talked about it a lot
10:41last year
10:41and is proving
10:43why he belongs now
10:44curb stomp
10:46courtesy of Tsuji
10:47Taichi came out of the gate
10:48the first two nights
10:49pissed
10:50and you could see
10:51in his performance
10:52you could see
10:52in how he was wrestling
10:53how he was fighting
10:55you know
10:55this is a man that's
10:57been a big part
10:58of Japanese wrestling
10:59for decades now
11:01bro
11:02he's lived his life
11:03for this
11:03for him not to be
11:04in the G1
11:05and for it to even
11:06piss me off
11:07I can only imagine
11:07how he feels
11:08I don't really care
11:09that much
11:09about anyone
11:10that's not one of my dogs
11:11but I saw that
11:12original announcement

11:16matches with me
11:17me and Ishi for example
11:19and you know
11:21the fact Taichi
11:22wasn't a first draft pick
11:23he has every reason
11:24to be pissed off
11:25and it seems like
11:26he's done nothing
11:27but use it
11:27for the good
11:29that emotion
11:30could drive you
11:31drive you one direction
11:32or the wrong one

20:33Taichi a sent a dangerous statement here tonight.
20:40Do not forget about the tag team champions.
20:50It will be the future generations day, one day at a time.
20:55But Taichi is a name that will not be left in the past, at least not tonight.
21:03This is the end of the past!
21:33This is the oldest ever G1 Climax winner at 45 years of age, coming up on the final night of
21:39August 17th.
21:40But a long long road before that, August 3rd, Taichi, Ryohei Oyewa coming up one-on-one in Fukuoka.
21:58Coming up next, the main event, Hiroshi Tadahashi versus Yuya Uemura.
22:03Yuya Uemura!
