00:00Et on va partir de Rappongi?
00:01Non, vous ne vont pas partir de Rappongi.
00:11Les équipes de la TACA, les équipes de la TACA,
00:15les équipes de la TACA.
00:16Mais maintenant,
00:19la championnat de l'IWGP de la TACA
00:22et le nouveau membre de TACA
00:26est Will Osprey.
00:33Et comment ce jeune homme a été découvert
00:37par K.O.S, très, très intéressant.
00:40Absolument, vous voyez le vidéo,
00:43vous voyez le wrestling contre Okada
00:45en Anglais.
00:47Et c'est Okada qui a fait la call,
00:49qui a dit qu'il ne doit pas seulement
00:51lui pour le wrestling,
00:53mais lui pour lui pour le K.O.S,
00:55et il a fait K.O.S.

02:47Coushida où Réli,
02:48il a fait K.O.S, il Saël Давай est
02:54Vous voyez le Jahrzeh Sabine ?
03:05He's the three-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, er, champion.
03:14And he had said to me he's not going to let anybody take it.
03:17His first two reigns weren't as long as he wanted it to be.
03:21He wants to be known as the greatest IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.
03:25Now Ospreay, he wants to make quite the debut.
03:28I mean, debuting against the champion, that's one thing.
03:31But defeating him, especially the skill set of Kushida, could make him a superstar overnight here in New Japan Pro
03:41Wrestling.
03:42And Will Ospreay, another May baby, a May 7th birthday.
03:45Wow, we're both May babies.
03:46Yeah, I know.
03:48Our buddy Kevin Owens.
03:50Yep.
03:50Can we call him Steen Owens?
03:51Sure.
03:52All right.
03:53You're watching it.
03:54You probably know him by both names.
03:55Of course.
03:56Tommaso.
03:57Tommaso.
03:57Oh, man, I miss Tommaso.
03:59A lot of May births.
04:01So we'll see if the man who will turn 23 years old in the pink long tights with the tribute
04:09to his late friend Chris Travis.
04:12Will Ospreay, is he the man to unseat Kushida and become the 74th IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion?
04:21Now, doing my research on the Junior Heavyweight Division, we know about, you know, Jushin Thunder Liger being the, you
04:28know, the, wow.
04:34You're going to see that British style that's going to just electrify fans, make them remember the days of Dynamite
04:41Kid and Rollerball Rocco.
04:43And, but there has never been a British-born IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.
04:51Is that mind-blowing?
04:52That was, that was surprised me.
05:09Mind-blowing.
05:10Yeah.
05:10You know, even, even today's stars, they have such a, such a crop of such amazing professional wrestlers.
05:18Another May baby Colt Cabana, right?
05:20Absolutely.
05:20Who's proficient in the British style.
05:23Back in Ring of Honor as Leapfrog, oh, man.
05:28Lands on his feet, does Ospreay.
05:33All right, I mean, I'm going to warn you fans right now, there's going to be a lot of wows
05:39coming, coming from me and Kevin Kelly in this one.
05:47When we talk about Kishida being a student of the game, a lifelong fan of professional wrestling, trained by not
05:52only Tajiri, but Takata, who is, you know, with his MMA background, his New Japan pro wrestling background, you see
06:00he's going to it.
06:01I think he's going to try and use that MMA style to, to ground the, the aerial assassin.
06:07Yeah, if he puts, if he's got his back on the mat, that will certainly not be, I think, very
06:14comfortable for Ospreay, who's trained at Lucha in England.
06:21Inverted atomic drop, downstairs with the drop kick, cartwheel drop kick, no, had him scouted, very well done.
06:29Somebody's done his homework.
06:34I'll go on record and say you'll never see it.
06:37Cover.
06:38You'll never see a dumb British wrestler.
06:41Well, I think also, too, Okada has really been giving him a lot of information, but a lot of pride.
06:46There has to be just a tremendous amount of pressure on Ospreay.
06:49Think about it.
06:50Okada personally endorses you, brings you into the company and says, oh, yeah, by the way, I got you a
06:55title match.
06:55Right, the top guy brings you in.
06:57But we saw it.
06:58Like, he doesn't look nervous at all.
07:00Very confident.
07:02Not cocky.
07:03Confident.
07:05He knows what he needs to do.
07:07He had that breakout match with Okada in England.
07:10You know, almost the best kept secret for a long time, for a while.
07:14And now he's the guy.
07:18Well, there's a lot of, you know, fans, of course, from England that are familiar with the companies that are
07:24there.
07:24There's so much great talent in the UK right now.
07:27And the left arm was the target for that Kushida kick.
07:31The prelude to the game plan for the hoverboard lock.
07:36Oh, my goodness.
07:40Ospreay tried to get out of the way and cover that arm.
07:43Good game plan.
07:44He couldn't get out of the way.
07:46You see on the replay, look.
07:48He tries to move to protect that left arm.
07:52He knows he's going to take it, but he's got to minimize the pain in that one.
07:58Kushida is going to go to work on that arm.
08:00Oh, that's going to hurt a couple different places.
08:15The arm, the tricep, the bicep, the elbow.
08:26Almost a modified judo throw right there.
08:29Going to a traditional arm lock.
08:33Got it cinched on.
08:37And all that work on the arm prevents Ospreay from doing what he does best.
08:42Absolutely.
08:42You know, it's going to...
08:44The more that Kushida can keep him down, the less he's going to be able to fly.
08:51Kushida going to that ground attack.
08:52No, no, no, no, no, no.
08:54Fire.
09:00Bushida captured the junior heavyweight title and wrestled King to 10 over Kenny Omega.
09:07Has turned back.
09:09Challenge of Bushi.
09:12Most recently after a wild battle.
09:27See Ospreay going for the rope.
09:30And with his foot draped on that bottom rope, referee will call for a break.
09:34Now, Ospreay knew where he was at.
09:36Here's going to be a little difference.
09:38You don't see a lot of 20 by 20 rings in England.
09:42A lot of them are 16 by 16.
09:44Sometimes, depending on the company you work for, you'll catch a 14 by 14.
09:51There's the arm.
09:53Going for that springboard, that headstand maneuver.
09:58And as he went to do the handstand, Steve.
10:02Yep, and going back to the different sizes of the rings, 20 by 20 is going to give you a
10:07lot of room to work with.
10:08And it might take more energy to get to that rope for that rope break.
10:13Ospreay, you know, came in a day early to get used to the hand ring.
10:18And that shows a young maturity, if you ask me.
10:22Look at that.
10:24Braced himself just enough.
10:28Fly up with that kick, but.
10:32Basically lying to the referee right there, saying it's fine.
10:35Yeah, absolutely.
10:36Trying to get that blood flow and trying to get the energy of the crowd on his side.
10:48The champ going on the attack.
10:50Match all turned in Kushida's favor.
10:53A handspring attempt from Ospreay, and he kicked that left arm.
11:01Now Kushida goes for one of his own.
11:04Now, forgiving the hands.
11:06He can't use it, Steve.
11:08Ha, ha.
11:09Wow.
11:12How to modify your style will knock off your opponent.
11:16Your opponent's going.
11:18You know Kushida.
11:19You know Kushida's watched the videos.
11:21You know he scouted his opponent.
11:24Went for that handspring.
11:26He didn't use his hands.
11:29Now Ospreay.
11:31Wow.
11:32Getting back on the offensive position here.
11:36Spistle drop.
11:37Kick Kushida now to the outside.
11:40This will give Ospreay the chance to fly.
11:44Wow.
11:49Think this young man is comfortable in the spotlight?
11:51I sure do.
11:52Look at the replay.
11:54Doesn't touch the ropes.
11:55Comes down hard.
11:57Knocking down the champion.
12:05This crowd's taken to him really quickly.
12:10Two knees into the midsection.
12:15Big influence of Ricochet.
12:17He said that in an interview.
12:19And a Ricochet-like move almost gets him.
12:22The IWGP Junior Heavyweight title.
12:25A good cover.
12:26And he's got to capitalize here.
12:27And the left arm's hurting.
12:29You can see him play with his fingers.
12:31Trying to keep that blood flowing.
12:34He's got to attack.
12:36He's got to attack the champion.
12:39The aerial assassin.
12:40Yeah, exactly.
12:41I think he's got to go to the air a little bit more.
12:44Kushida.
12:45You never know if he's going to play possum.
12:47Catch that hoverboard lock.
12:50Certainly it is a risk-reward scenario.
12:53Wow.
12:54Did we just see?
12:56We saw it.
12:59The rainmaker.
13:00Are you kidding?
13:03Slide through.
13:04Goes.
13:04And right it's him.
13:08Went for that key lock.
13:09He quickly got to the roof.
13:11Now I think he played a little bit there.
13:14And that cost him.
13:16Want to see how he recovers from this.
13:20But with Kushida maintaining control of his left arm.
13:28Ospreay catches the leg.
13:30Jumping knee.
13:31Puts the champ down.
13:34Now to the second.
13:37Did he get all of it, though?
13:39Cover.
13:39The leg is hooked.
13:40And we almost have a new champion.
13:44That may have been a difference right there in the size of the ring, Steve.
13:48Absolutely.
13:49You know, it's hard to judge where you're going to land on a high-risk maneuver like that.
13:54That's a feast or famine.
13:56Risk and reward.
13:57Now we're over the 10-minute mark of this title match.
14:02Ospreay so impressive here in this challenge.
14:08front of over 10,000 strong here at Sumo Arena.
14:19We are sold out for invasion attack.
14:22We are sold out for invasion attack.
14:44We are sold out for invasion attack.
14:45Toguchi down at ringside.
14:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
15:10As the two of them did their best back-to-the-future impression.
15:17That kid loves that movie, huh?
15:27What?
15:28Wow.
15:32Caught him.
15:34Fussle kick.
15:35Went for the Tanaka.
15:39Drops him with the open right hand.
15:42Kawana style kicks.
15:44Right to the forehead.
15:46Oh!
15:50The fuel for Ospreay's tank, though.
15:52Come in.
15:53Fucking dick.
15:54Wow.
15:56Tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank.
15:59It's a hockey fight.
16:04No more.
16:05Oh, no, no.
16:07Oh, no.
16:12Could it be?
16:13It's a tip.
16:15Oh, referee obstructed Ardew, but Ospreay kicked out at two.
16:20Or, Kushida kicked out at two, rather.
16:22Excuse me.
16:23How Ospreay got up from that punch.
16:30Almost like a running Spanish fly.
16:34Kushida luckily took it to the side a little bit.
16:37That might have been the only thing that saved the championship for him.
16:41And now Ospreay, just 22 years old, in his New Japan Pro Wrestling debut, is ready to become the champion
16:52now.
16:53Might have taken too long.
16:55Might have taken too long.
16:55This crowd has taken to him.
16:57Over 10,000 has taken to the Ariel Assassin.
17:01Slide behind.
17:02Nowhere to go.
17:06Nowhere to go.
17:26Nowhere to go.
17:32Behind him.
17:37These two warriors going at it.
17:46Back to the left arm.
17:49Set them up.
17:50Hits the ropes.
