00:01Its presence suddenly appeared from the sky.
00:07Let's assume that was a declaration of war from Kounosuke Takeshita.
00:10and others
00:10Shun Skywalker was truly before my imagination
00:13I've arrived.
00:16Skybound Formation Shun Skywalker
00:22I experienced the pinnacle of Dragon Gate, the Dream Gate, three times.
00:27But in the world I've walked through so far...
00:31It's so boring I have to fight.
00:37You think so too, right?
00:41Earth Alpha World's Kounosuketageshita
00:47I'm looking at the very top of the top.
00:50It's a place where only one person can stand.
00:53Takeshita is strong around the world!
00:58If you're going to claim to be a world leader, you need to know the height of the heavens.
01:02I don't think so.
01:04If you're talking about Takeshita of the world, then it's Shunsuke of the Sky.
01:08Ewalker
01:10Which is the strongest and most noble?
01:15One person is enough to color the world.
01:20Have the courage to stand before Shun Skywalker
01:23hand
01:23Be prepared to devour it.
01:27Shun Skywalker
01:30It's strong!
01:32That's scary.

02:29I found the G1 Climax 36 tournament.
02:34If you think about it, it's a great performance.
02:39You can see Cirith Charlton in House of Torture
02:42You can push up the back of House of Torture.
02:47What would make a Sun Rem Month so great?
02:48teeth
02:50Doki's finishing touches, Jaysaw, Shaw, Shaw, Shaw, Shaw are candidates.
02:54The ceremony
02:55Dragon Gate Japan Pro Wrestling and
02:57I found it in New Pihan's candidate area.
03:03Wrestling's A-rufa, Kanasuke Chikkesna
03:05The screw pin TV Tio Trevision
03:07Checking
03:08I also participated in Skywalker's first meeting.
03:12SUN SKYWOKKA can do something completely different in this era.
03:19You can choose to play at Tokyo Dome.
03:23In this era, I would choose Dragon Gate's promotion.
03:27It is possible.
03:27In this era, Dragon Gate's Dragon Gate Champion
03:28Choose OnGate.
03:32SUN SKYWOKKA can do something completely different.
03:45SUN SKYWOKKA is inside its own Nekolton Gate
04:06in,
04:36Thank you for watching.
04:50it is the first and the last appearance
04:52for the Alpha Konoski and Takeshita
04:55on the Destruction Series here in Coving
04:58the NJPW World Television Champion
05:02has not had a single preview fight
05:04with Shun Skywalker
05:05and has never faced off against Skywalker before
05:08in singles competition with Charlton
05:11I would argue that this is the exact situation
05:14that the Alpha lives for
05:15and dies for
05:17here in the sport of pro wrestling
05:18Takeshita looking to defend
05:19the World Television Championship
05:21yet another night on the Cerulean Blue
05:23yeah not entirely strangers to one another
05:26with Takeshita and Skywalker
05:27I was there in the Nippon Budokan
05:29in May of 2024
05:31It was all together
05:34Takeshita, Skywalker, and Yuya Urimura
05:37were partners that night
05:38It didn't go dance at all
05:40because one of the other things we know
05:42About Shin Skywalker
05:43is Shin does not play well with others
05:45and it wasn't too long before egos collided
05:48for the ill-fortune to that team
05:50in the World Television Champion
05:52The TV Champion
05:52G-Alpha
05:54Konosuke Takeshita
05:57Skywalker said in that pre-match video package
06:01that he felt that when they came to blows
06:04that brought together a couple of years ago
06:06that was Takeshita making a declaration of war
06:09on Shin Skywalker
06:10and it's only now that Skywalker has decided to
06:14Well, pick up that call
06:20As difficult as it is, Chris
06:22to get inside the mind of Shin Skywalker
06:24you have to wonder if
06:26what happened back at all together
06:28all those things past
06:30how long it's really sat on the mind
06:31how heavy it sat on the mind of Skywalker
06:33and what's led
06:35to this challenge championship
06:36that we're seeing tonight
06:38is the World Television title
06:40That will be put on the line
06:41one fall
06:4215-minute time limit
06:45and certainly when you talk about the time limit
06:48very much favors Shin Skywalker's competitors
06:527-3 in the last 365 days
06:54singles match
06:55the only losses coming to
06:57Madoka Kikogda
06:59and
06:59Gianmi Villietta
07:01and Evil
07:03all of these singles matches
07:05Walker in the last 365 days
07:08have been under 15 minutes
07:10Wow
07:11including all seven of those shocking
07:13and Konosuke Takeshita
07:14We've talked about it for a long time.
07:15has gone maybe a little longer in AEW
07:18and Skywalker's gonna go fast here
07:20Sky House special
07:22And he got the three
07:23already in the unit here
07:24and Ashut Skywalker
07:25and Konosuke and Takeshita
07:26that are looking to take things
07:27frenetic from the very beginning
07:29as a
07:30one of the tilt-a-whirl
07:31and instead Takeshita
07:32Great strength on the out
07:34and it is a 15-minute limit then
07:36I'll be honest with you, Chris
07:37it feels like Takeshita has struggled
07:39to stay with the end
07:40a lot of time limit draws
07:41Takeshi has had
07:42for the TV title
07:43over the course of his career
07:45a few matches recently of course
07:47against Sotuno
07:48back in April
07:49and that started a kind of
07:51Well
07:52bizarre relationship
07:53with House of Torture
07:55you know it was
07:55at first
07:57Neutro Takahashi
07:58Chasso in
07:59Stick pie all in
08:00And then it was
08:00the appearance of Sanada
08:03and then from there
08:05to Shin Skywalker
08:06And then Takeshita now
08:08looking for his fifth defense
08:09for that TV championship
08:12We've been making reference
08:13all night Chris
08:14to Shin Skywalker
08:15being undefeated so far
08:17in New Japan Pro Wrestling
08:18since joining House of Torture
08:20earlier this year
08:21But it is Shin Skywalker
08:22who has never
08:23faced a challenge
08:24like Kanosuke Takeshita
08:25here in NJPW
08:27and I think that
08:27random is something
08:28that a lot of people
08:29have to have their eyes on
08:31How prepared is Skywalker?
08:32for this fight
08:33against the Alpha?
08:34Well, I think Skywalker
08:35has been very smart
08:36in terms of
08:37picking his spots
08:38We saw it right
08:39from his very first match
08:40here in New Japan Pro Wrestling
08:41came right at the end
08:43as he snapped the arm
08:45there of the champion
08:45came in right at the end
08:47of that matchup
08:48landed a moonsault
08:49Dublinese to Satoshi Kojima
08:50and then beat his chest
08:51about
08:52Oh, look at me
08:52I just beat a former
08:54IWGP Champion
08:55for the G1 player
08:57and he picked his spot
08:58in that Mururambo
08:59He's out of the ring
09:00for the most part
09:01and then snuck up
09:02from behind
09:02and dumped Shotsu Umino out
09:04I think Takeshita's
09:06picking a spot right now
09:12you talk about picking
09:13and choosing your moments
09:14Chris
09:15It is Shun Skywalker
09:16who took the beat
09:18a little bit early
09:19and invested that
09:20eye
09:21to the back of the head
09:22of Takeshita
09:23Skywalker looking to fly
09:24and Takeshita
09:25a very different idea
09:27fantastic
09:27great wherewithal
09:29there by the challenger
09:30and that
09:32six cents to know
09:33that Takeshita
09:34was going to get
09:34the knees up
09:35on the attack
09:36There turned over
09:36to a Boston Crab
09:37Takeshita's loss
09:38to a Boston Crab
09:39before this year
09:40You're right about that
09:41back in the Tokyo Dome
09:42the heavyweight
09:43and global titles
09:44on the line
09:44at that point
09:45and the World Television
09:46Championship
09:47what's on the line
09:48at this point
09:48in the junction
09:49I gotta tell you Chris
09:50I think that Skywalker
09:51when it comes to
09:52a mental position
09:53is going to have
09:54the advantage
09:55not just over the Alpha
09:56But over anyone
09:57you put him in the ring
09:58because he's a lone
09:59He's insane
10:00he's absolute
10:02stark waving mental
10:05It's so difficult
10:07For you to try
10:08and get in the head
10:08almost like a
10:09I mean a different way
10:10but always like
10:11a Gabe Kidd
10:12kind of situation
10:13you can't
10:13Play mental chess
10:14with this man
10:25Oh and Skywalker
10:26baited to catch it
10:28in for that one
10:28Chris
10:29right to the eyes
10:30of the Alpha
10:31as the NJPW World
10:33Television Championship
10:34defended in that
10:3515-minute limit
10:36something the Alpha
10:37has really struggled
10:38to stay within the depths
10:39of
10:40And now let's see
10:41to find a victory
10:42to close the distance
10:43here
10:44out of the line
10:49picking up the pace
10:50There is Takeshita
10:51It's been great
10:52Schedule that Takeshita
10:53has had to overcome
10:54Date in All Elite
10:56Wrestling
10:56Ring of Honor
10:57and now New Japan
10:58not to mention DDT
10:59Pro Wrestling as well
11:02and certainly not
11:03too back
11:04in any of them
11:05and Takeshita
11:05going full speed
11:06oh
11:09to the outside
11:1210 out of 10
11:13for the Alpha
11:14right there
11:16There's another look
11:17all the way around
11:18and almost
11:20right onto his feet
11:21again
11:22I think a lot of people
11:22understate the size
11:24of a man
11:24like Kenosso gets
11:25I think it's the same
11:26for Skywalker
11:27as well in his career
11:28exactly
11:29these men to be able
11:29to move the way
11:30that day do
11:31is just something
11:32otherworldly
11:33yeah I think that's
11:34That's something
11:34That's a good call
11:35and it's
11:36their flipboards
11:37of the same coin
11:38in how of attitude
11:39and in terms of
11:41their physical stature
11:42and physical
11:43Athletic venue
11:46Same age as well
11:47I think in
11:48one sort of stance
11:49they would be
11:50The Great Fan Favorite
11:52Leader
11:54That is rough
11:55That is rough
11:56landing for the Alpha
11:59Rakuten
11:59Rough Impact
12:00I think that might
12:01be a broken nose
12:02Referee stepping in
12:03to check
12:03Let's see
12:07Chip to tooth
12:08oh no
12:09It might be the eye
12:10walking
12:10It might be the eye
12:11It's really hard
12:12to tell at this angle
12:13here Chris
12:13But I mean
12:14referee
12:14our referee
12:16Kenta Sato
12:16not stepping in
12:17just yet
12:18but
12:18you gotta keep
12:19ax eye
12:19on that one
12:20you know
12:20that Takeshita
12:21is gonna work
12:21to do that
12:22right now
12:22Takeshita's not
12:23gonna keep a close
12:24eye on anything
12:24much right now
12:26still trying to
12:27Gain his vision
12:28back here
12:28Worldwide
12:29Crown Now
12:30fighting in an
12:30underneath
12:35Yeah, it's time
12:36to swell up
12:36is that left
12:37dive to Keshter
12:38and squints
12:39and fires
12:40Oh man
12:44Oh and Skywalker
12:45one step ahead
12:46It's been a match
12:48of Shun being
12:48one step ahead
12:49every single point
12:51up to the point
12:52of that ball
12:52just took down
12:53the challenger
13:03Watch the Alpha
13:04now
13:05Skywalker again
13:06Just loves to use
13:07These boots
13:08here Chris
13:08oh watch that
13:10great
13:10this direct
13:10and over the top
13:12on the feet
13:12there for Takeshita
13:13now Takeshita's
13:14starting to sell
13:15a step ahead
13:16to Skywalker
13:16There we go
13:17Skywalker and Takeshita
13:19both men
13:19same idea
13:20overall result
13:21opposite corners
13:22here for the alpha
13:23oh
13:25He's seen them
13:26so evenly matched
13:27Skywalker
13:28On top only one
13:29so evenly matched
13:31but it seems
13:32when push comes to
13:33sub
13:33Skywalker has the edge
13:35and Skywalker
13:37sidewinder
13:38Uranage
13:39on Kenalski
13:41Takeshita
13:45I think you know
13:46what Shun Skywalker
13:47might be thinking
13:48for here
13:48debuted that
13:49Newman over the sky
13:50fall earlier on
13:51in the
13:53no
13:55blue thunderbomb
13:56from Kenalski
13:58Takeshita
13:58say you would
14:02Love Takeshita
14:03for not being able
14:04to scout Shun Skywalker
14:06walking with his
14:07schedule over the last
14:09few tests
14:10But he had that one
14:11Certainly had it coming
14:18cover and a kick out
14:19at two
14:20for Skywalker
14:22I've been thinking about it
14:23all across the battle
14:24line
14:25Osaka series
14:25on the road
14:26to registration
14:27Chris Skywalker
14:28still an unproven
14:29Product here
14:30in New Japan
14:31pro wrestling
14:31very different
14:32house style
14:33by comparison to that
14:34of the Dragon Gate
14:35Japan promotion
14:38Skywalker
14:38is looking to prove
14:39that he can hang
14:40with the best of it
14:41Well
14:42He's sizing him up
14:43for that work
14:44of other perhaps
14:46wait a minute
14:47What the hell
14:48is this
14:48Oh come on
14:49Speaking of self-promotion
14:49arseholes
14:50Come here, the house
14:50It's an auction.
14:51We knew It was
14:52going to happen
14:53Ren Narita
14:54Narita here
14:55and now Skywalker
14:56oh
14:58What the hell
14:59got it to the eyes

15:13it's like
15:14handing Glovewalker
15:15Shin Skywalker
15:16ne the torture
15:20Shin Skywalker
15:21has blinded the
15:22alpha
15:22Takeshita
15:23and now
15:25oh
15:26Takeshita able to put
15:27the brakes on
15:28for the time being
15:30Takeshita may have
15:31never felt that
15:32Skyfall Maneuver
15:33But he needs to know
15:34that it is
15:35quite deadly
15:36in this position
15:37Takeshita
15:38Skywalker using down
15:39Dick Togear
15:40inadvertently
15:46And now here comes
15:47the alpha

16:17for sure
16:22Shun Skywalker
16:24able to fight
16:24out of that position
16:25didn't manage
16:26to get the run-up
16:27on that Skyfall
16:28Chris
16:29That's the only reason
16:30Kodalski Tzakesta
16:31is even standing
16:34meanwhile
16:35The Skywalker
16:35Thinking here
16:37has that leg
