00:43Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
01:15Another great athlete competing under the Suplex brand
01:21Big shout out to our buddy Joel
01:25Helps run that
01:28But this will be quite a test
01:30For a young man making his
01:32New Japan Pro Wrestling debut
01:54One year ago, Katsuyori Shibata
01:59Cried tears
02:00It was an emotional scene as he signed a New Japan Pro Wrestling contract
02:04Many had said that
02:07A contract would never be offered again
02:10To someone who had walked away from a contract
02:12Said he did not want to be a salaryman wrestler
02:16Only to return under
02:18Great controversy
02:20But earn his way back in
02:22Earn the trust and respect of his peers
02:24And earn that contract
02:33And along the way Don
02:34We have seen him just continue
02:37To almost defiantly wrestle his style
02:40Regardless of injury or adversary
02:45Oh no, I mean he's a tremendous athlete
02:47And he's got a mean streak
02:49And you see it every time
02:51He gives a strike to his opponent
02:58And I think he's going to look to brutalize
03:01Young Zack Sabre Jr. tonight
03:02You made the comment
03:03I believe during the pregame show
03:05About the
03:07The slight build of Sabre Jr.
03:09And how that will
03:10Affect
03:11His ability to absorb the shots
03:13Of Shibata
03:14Yeah, I mean I'm worried about it
03:17You look at the
03:18The kicks that Shibata does
03:20Can cave in a chest very easily
03:24The tactical wizard is
03:26Zack Sabre Jr.
03:28He's a bullet tournament winner
03:30He's PWG champion
03:33I'm Sabre
03:34I go after a leg here
03:35Try to do some damage
03:39And he's
03:40Trying to go in for the single leg
03:43Trying to sit out
03:45Shibata with the ride
03:52My pal Jake Paul
03:54Is looking to
03:56Win the
03:57Heavyweight division
03:58In the state of Pennsylvania
04:01And I've
04:02Third place at regionals
04:04He goes to states next week
04:06And I'm sure he is watching
04:08This matchup right here
04:11This is the kind of wrestling
04:12That again
04:13The purest might like
04:17Shibata just looks very relaxed
04:21Zack Sabre looks like
04:22He's got some nerves so far
04:26And the
04:26Trying to get that
04:27Achilles heel hook
04:31And of course
04:31These men have met before
04:32It was Shibata
04:33Who had defeated Sabre Jr.
04:34To
04:35Become
04:36The British heavyweight championship
04:37And that title is on the line here
04:41So Sabre will look to
04:42Win for the second time
04:54Oh what a beautiful counter
05:14A lot of fans
05:16May have seen
05:17Zack Sabre for the first time
05:19During the CWC
05:22And
05:24He has continued
05:25To
05:29Improve
05:29And
05:30Get better and better
05:38Evolved title win
05:40The most recent
05:53Sabre needs to keep
05:55Shibata off his feet
05:56So he doesn't have a base
05:57To execute those strikes
06:01Easier said than done
06:21Sabre of course
06:22Stepping up in
06:23Weight class
06:24To go after this heavyweight title
06:27He will be a
06:29Junior heavyweight
06:30Here in New Japan Pro Wrestling
06:41It seems to me
06:42That maybe Shibata
06:43Is trying to make a point
06:45Sticking to real strict
06:46Technical Wrestling
06:47To show everybody
06:48Maybe Zack Sabre
06:50Is not the technical master
06:51Here
06:52Look at this
06:57I think as
07:01You know you might have
07:02You know you look at the
07:03Never open weight
07:04Title success
07:05Oh look at the way
07:07That's lovely
07:11The
07:12Certainly the striking
07:13Ability of Shibata
07:15Can never be denied
07:17But
07:19And
07:21Great counter by Shibata
07:22This is wonderful
07:31Before
07:34Swing and a miss
07:35Hello
07:35Yeah
07:36Of course
07:37Zack Sabre
07:38Also
07:39Quite proficient
07:40With that
07:41Pedally kick
07:42Just reminding
07:43Sabre there
07:44That that's always
07:45In the back pocket
07:50Rolled over on the bus
07:51Today
07:51With
07:53The new Japan bus
07:54From the hotel
07:56Was
07:57Introduced briefly
07:58To
07:59Sabre
07:59And he was
08:00Of course
08:02Genuinely nice young man
08:04But he
08:04Put his music on
08:05And he seemed to
08:06Try to get that zone
08:07Early
08:08Because he knew
08:09He was going to be
08:10Tested here tonight
08:12And before
08:15The drop kick
08:16In the corner
08:18Zack Sabre
08:18With the answer
08:19And now he will
08:21Pour on
08:22The uppercut
08:24You don't need
08:25To ride the bus
08:25Kid
08:26You can come
08:26To limo
08:26With me next time
08:27Hey man
08:29That bus
08:29Is
08:30Pretty sweet
08:32You had a limo?
08:33Of course
08:34Announcing ace
08:36Part of my deal
08:40And going after
08:41The right arm
08:42Here
08:42That could be telling
08:44Again
08:44If I'm Zack Sabre
08:46I go after the knee
08:47But the right arm
08:47Is wrapped
08:52Of course
08:53That shoulder
08:55And the trapezius
08:56Muscle
08:56Has been problematic
08:57For Shibata
08:58For quite some time
08:59But now
09:04With the left arm
09:05Tied up
09:07Now
09:07Look at the hook
09:08The fingers
09:16I don't think
09:17The arm
09:17Is supposed
09:18To go like that
09:21Well that
09:22Shoulder
09:23May have just
09:23Popped out of socket
09:24And that's the thing
09:25I like about
09:26Zack Sabre
09:27It's not all
09:27Just pretty
09:28Counter moves
09:29And moves
09:29He's a sadistic
09:31Little bastard
09:35And he runs
09:36With the villain
09:37Marty Scurl
09:38Who is
09:41Quite a dark
09:42Hearted individual
09:43As well
09:48So he may not be
09:50That traditional
09:51White hat
09:52If you will
09:52But
09:55It's paid to win
09:56Wrestling matches
09:56And that's what
09:57He's looking to do
09:58And the great thing
09:59About seeing
10:00Zack Sabre Jr
10:01As a wrestling fan
10:02Is in someone
10:02Who's been in the business
10:0325 years
10:04When you can see
10:05Something that
10:06Gets you excited
10:07That you've never seen
10:08Before
10:08It's a great day
10:09And we're seeing
10:09That tonight
10:18Positioning those kicks
10:19He needs to hook
10:20A hold here
10:22This is just
10:23Going to wake
10:23Shibata up
10:25Yeah
10:32Shibata's
10:33Starting to get
10:33Into that zone
10:35Yeah
10:35No
10:35This is a mistake
10:36Oh no
10:39Now
10:40Upstairs
10:45So we've seen
10:46How good of a
10:47Technical wrestler
10:48Zack Sabre is
10:50Now we will see
10:52How much punishment
10:53He can absorb
10:59Here comes the drop kick
11:13Double underhook
11:16Two and
11:19Zack Sabre kicks out
11:29Here we go
11:30The
11:31Cobra twist
11:33If he's able
11:36There you go
11:41To the ropes
11:42Oh
11:45Wide open
11:46For the PK
11:50He's got him
11:51Hooked in the triangle
11:53He needs to get
11:53That arm
11:54Straightened out
11:57The arm key
11:58Locked
11:59With those legs
12:01Whoa
12:05You notice how
12:06Zack Sabre
12:07Controls the hand
12:08Or tries to
12:10Rather than the wrist
12:11Much more effective
12:12If you can control
12:13The meat of the hand
12:15So the leverage point
12:17Within the leverage point
12:18Of the arm
12:19And he is wrenching
12:21And pulling
12:22And will look to win
12:24By submission
12:25Shibata gets to the rope
12:26To force the break
12:32And how do you have
12:33A counter
12:34For a move
12:34If you've never seen it
12:35And that's always
12:36The danger
12:37With Zack Sabre
12:38He's such an innovator
12:44Back to the right arm
12:46You're going to kick him
12:47Kick him
12:47Don't get him
12:48Worked up
12:57And now Sabre
12:58Basically telling Shibata
13:00To bring it
13:09Maintains control
13:16To count
13:18Go for the German
13:24There's a switch
13:28Beautiful
13:29Two
13:30Oh what a counter
13:33And another
13:36A second time
13:37With the bridge
13:39A second time
13:39With the bridge
13:48DK there from Sabre
13:58Waiting for Shibata
13:59To get north
14:00And try it
14:01A second time
14:04Whoa
14:07Most recent
14:08Successful title
14:09Defense for Shibata
14:10Over Sabre's
14:12Countryman
14:12Will Ospreay
14:13We saw that
14:15In Osaka
14:19On the hook
14:20And the choke
14:23Bear naked choke
14:24Is
14:28Oh
14:31The lights
14:32Could be dimming
14:32Here
14:34Right back
14:35To the choke
14:41Doesn't have that
14:42In as deep
14:43As he'd like
14:53Trying to look
14:54At
14:54Zack's eyes
14:56Whoa
14:57Wait a minute
14:58Minoru Suzuki's here
15:00What is this
15:01I have no idea
15:11They meet in the first round
15:13Of the new
15:15Japan cup
15:16For giving the PK
15:18Instead
15:19Straight away
15:19Wait a minute
15:20This brings
15:21Davey Boyd
15:21Smith Jr.
15:22Out here
15:23The referee
15:23Got wiped down
15:25Huge clothesline
15:26Shibata's down
15:27Now Suzuki
15:28Is in
15:35Gotch pile driver
15:36Gotch pile driver
15:46What a minute
15:47Zack Sabre Jr.
15:51Count it
15:52Just capitalized
15:54With the PK
15:55And we got a new
15:56British heavyweight champion
15:57What the hell
16:01What great strategy
16:03By Minoru Suzuki
16:04Are you kidding me
16:08Not only is there
16:09A new
16:10British heavyweight champion
16:11Representing
16:12Grand Pro
16:12But there is
16:13A new member
16:14Apparently
16:15Of Suzuki Gun
16:18And if you're
16:19Zack Sabre Jr.
16:20What better strategic
16:21Movement
16:22To align yourself
16:23With Minoru Suzuki
16:24And Suzuki Gun
16:27I said
16:28He wasn't
16:29A white hat
16:30But I never thought
16:32He would go
16:33This low
16:36But I guess
16:38Nothing should
16:39Surprise me
16:42Given what
16:43Zack Sabre
16:45Has done recently
16:46Pro Wrestling
16:46Guerrilla
16:47And now here
16:48In New Japan
16:49Pro Wrestling
16:54Pro Wrestling
17:02C'est ce que j'ai vu, c'est ce que j'ai vu, c'est ce que j'ai
17:12vu.
17:26C'est bon, c'est bon, c'est bon.
17:56On est là, on est là !
18:02Tu es un peu plus peur, tu es un peu plus peur !
18:11Tu es un peu plus peur, tu es un peu plus peur !
18:13Tu es un peu plus peur !
18:15Tu es un peu plus peur !
18:19Et bien sûr, je suis un peu plus de la première fois !
18:28Et deux titels, deux championships won par Suzuki Gunn hier tonight.
18:34What a great night for Suzuki Gunn.
18:36When was this deal cooked up?
18:38How long has this been brewing?
18:41And there he is, the newest member of Suzuki Gunn, Zack Sabre Jr.
18:49Quite a way to make an introduction.
18:52He competed in NOAA for quite some time.
18:55Perhaps this deal goes back to there.
18:59I'll be interested to hear the post-match comments.
19:03Not only the translation from Minoru Suzuki, but also what Zack Sabre Jr. says.
19:09He's the Evolve champ.
19:11He's the PWG champ.
19:13He's Rev Pro's British Heavyweight Champion.
19:16He's the newest member of Suzuki Gunn.
19:20And this dark-hearted army continues to grow.
19:24Not only in size, but in championship glory.
19:29I'll tell you, what a tremendous way to make a statement if you're Zack Sabre Jr.
19:36And what a tremendous way to insulate yourself moving forward by aligning yourself with Suzuki Gunn.
19:41You said, how would this young man, how would he be able to absorb what Shibata could do to him?
19:50Well, he did it.
19:51He insulated himself beautifully.
19:54Now the newest member of Suzuki Gunn.
19:57And he was the same.
