00:48Et j'ai parlé à mon ami,
00:51qui était là,
00:52au Nord-Oberhausen,
00:54et il a dit,
00:55en 2009,
00:58Shingo obliterait
01:00Zack Sabre, Junior.
01:02Vous êtes prouh de vous ?
01:03Oui, très prouh.
01:04Vous êtes prouh de vous ?
01:05Vous êtes prouh de vous ?
01:07Vous êtes prouh de vous ?

01:27Vous êtes prouh de vous ?
01:29Vous êtes prouh de vous ?
01:31Vous êtes prouh de vous ?
01:32Vous êtes prouh de vous ?
01:35Nous allons aller
01:37lui en Holding au
01:40C'est l'un de la meilleure dans le monde.
01:42C'est parti !
02:14It's not about the title.
02:18It certainly is about the points, but for Shingo, is it more personal?
02:24Does Shingo tonight come in looking to fight on behalf of the now-injured Tetsuya Naito against the man who
02:33wrecked his knee in Osaka?
02:37Or will the dragon look to take care of business and leave Naito to get revenge once he's healed?
02:47Zack Sabre Jr. has got the taste of blood in his mouth, and he's gonna look to claim another victim.
02:56Let's see what Shingo Takagi vs Zack Sabre Jr. will bring us here in our main event.
03:05Zack Sabre Jr. slayed an American Dragon 12 years ago.
03:12And that's been something that's stayed with Bryan Danielson ever since, if you listen to his comments in the media
03:17recently.
03:18By the way, Bryan Danielson wants to win the Bryan Danielson Award.
03:24to cement his place and make that award, the Zack Sabre Jr. Award,
03:30while slaying the Japanese dragon is gonna go a long way to achieving that goal.
03:35Bryan Danielson said he's the second breast Bryan Danielson.
03:51And to your point, Kevin, I don't know whether Shingo Takagi is fighting with Tetsuya Naito, fighting for Tetsuya Naito.
03:58I'm sure he's got that in the back of his mind.
03:59But driven, especially, you know, with the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship around his waist and those questions.
04:07Is that a cursed title? Who's the real champion?
04:10Shingo Takagi wants to show and prove that he is truly the best pro wrestler on the planet,
04:17and do it by winning through in this G1 Climax. And I think that's motivation enough.
04:21Shingo Takagi sits atop the standings in the last 365 days, a singles record of 19-7.
04:41And backed into the ropes. Shingo's gonna look to really lean into Zack. I have a feeling.
04:51Shingo's not afraid to push buttons. Neither is Zack, to be fair.
04:57But Shingo Takagi made it very, very clear that not only did he beat Zack Sabre Jr. and Jeremy, but
05:03that he submitted Zack Sabre Jr. and Jeremy.
05:05Yeah, and I was about to say earlier on that that victory by Shingo, what happened all those years ago,
05:12not far from Shingo's mind.
05:13He brought it up post-match comments after Shingo defeated Ishii the other night.
05:17So taking the leg now, and he'll transition up the front face lock.
05:23Shingo escapes hammer lock. Immediately Zack able to wriggle out.
05:35Nice turnover there from the waist.
05:43The book on Zack, if you want to beat him in a singles match, is you've got to take the
05:49fight outside.
05:51If you can get it to a street fight level, you've greatly increased your chances of winning.
05:59I wonder whether that's something that Shingo is aware of that he particularly wants to do.
06:05Right. And again, this grade one tournament, you want to show that you are the best wrestler.
06:13But if you want to beat Zack, you've got to do some, you've got to break some eggs to make
06:17that omelette.
06:23Hops right over and Zack immediately kicks out.
06:27Everyone talks about how Zack trains for flexibility and having that live frame.
06:32But certainly, and you know, it's been the talk since the start of this tournament.
06:36Zack Sabre Jr. has been adding a lot more muscle mass to himself.
06:39And hoping to hit hard as well as wrestle effectively on the mat.
06:46Yeah, certainly a little extra muscle.
06:49A shock absorption for the big strikes. The cravat here by Zack.
06:54The fight was just about all in the ring against Tetsuya Naito the other night.
06:59Laser focus Zack came into the battle in Osaka.
07:05Saying he wanted to submit Tetsuya Naito and did just that.
07:12Off the ropes. Stops him in his tracks.
07:14Oh, immediately grabs a hole. Wait, wait. Missed the arm. Sliding Larry and out of the way.
07:19PK missed. Roll up. Roll up.
07:22And Zack escapes. Arm drag.
07:25Head scissors. Kick out.
07:28And the tackle with the exclamation point.
07:33Watch now. Oh, man. Shingo's not afraid to fly sometimes.
07:38Zack!
07:39Zack fails.
07:40Okay, so a little Tetsuya Naito there. A little Tetsuya Naito.
07:44It seems like Shingo is bringing his L.I. Jain mate here with him tonight.
07:48Oh, he's in the hospital, Dickhead. Do you want to go there?
07:54Well, there you go. The reply from Zack Saber Jr. never misses a trick.
07:59Get back. Get back, Dickhead. Get up.
08:02Oh, Dragon Tets. Go on. Get back.
08:05No, referee.
08:06Referee.
08:08Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back.
08:11Check out. Check out. Check out. Check out.
08:13Oh.
08:16And runs right into the arm drag.
08:19Ah!
08:25You've got to almost adopt that Zack Saber Jr.'s six seconds
08:28in a hold strategy, because if you're hanging
08:31on to a sidehead locker and arm bar he's going to find.
08:34A crafty escape, or a reversal.
08:36Yeah, that's exactly it. And he's constantly
08:39fighting to improve his, his, position.
08:42Oh.
08:42Et si il y a un aspect de la pride de Shingo qui s'est dit qu'il voulait subir
08:49Zach à nouveau,
08:50c'est qu'il va payer grandement pour ça.
08:54Parce que Shingo n'est pas en lui-même un peu plus profondeur.
09:00Donc, dans le side headlock, Zach va chercher un escape,
09:05et peut-être peut-être tourner ça en un top wrist lock.
09:12Qu'est-ce que vous pensez qu'il a fait longtemps que l'IWGP Heavyweight Champion a won cette tournée
09:29?
09:30Je pense que quand vous êtes le champion, vous avez le plus grand target.
09:34Et on your back.
09:37Et là-bas, c'est un target que Zach a été expertly dans le back de la tête.
09:44Et je pense que part de ça est de savoir qu'il y a un « curse ».
09:49Et ça fait que ça a fait le monde.
09:53Je pense qu'il y a des champions qui viennent,
09:55qu'il y a Kazuchika Okada,
09:56et on a tout le monde,
10:00et on a tout le monde.
10:01on a tout le monde,
10:02et on a tout le monde,
10:04et on a tout le monde.
10:04C'est un combiné de la motivation des joueurs,
10:07et la self-doubte,
10:08qui se passe dans,
10:10dans ce match.
10:12Et Zach rolling,
10:14Shingo,
10:14il veut garder ce match,
10:17sur le cerulean bleu.
10:19Ah, ah, ah, ah.
10:26First strike of the match.
10:28Now a pair.
10:29Ah!
10:32You can see the added muscle on the frame of Zack Sabre Jr,
10:35but still just as limber as ever.
10:38I think that did add an extra pop,
10:41and those European upcuts always do smart when it's bone,
10:44mais il y a beaucoup d'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur.
10:52Et c'est merveilleux quand vous regardez ce temps que le champion a gagné cette tournée,
10:59c'est plus difficile de gagner la G1 de l'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur
11:04de l'extérieur.
11:05Oui, en un vrai sens, les 9 de l'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur, effectivement.
11:11Les 10 d'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur à la centrale de l'extérieur de
11:13l'extérieur,
11:13il faut aller voir une partie de l'extérieur de l'extérieur de l'extérieur d'extérieur.
11:25Il manque de défi, nous enrions pas nous séparons pour la VEE,
11:29nous ne sommes pas vraiment pas le plus de l'extérieur.
11:34Le rapport est SkNg taking, nous avons dit 8 points de l'extérieur de l'extérieur,
11:41de ses premiers deux G1
11:43tournements.
11:45Now le IWGP Heavyweight Champion
11:47et maintenant le World Champion
11:49a averagé 12.2 over
11:51the last 10.
11:53Shingo's gotten 2 points
11:55avec Naito's
11:57forfeiture
11:59mais still, il va avoir
12:01à l'épreuve
12:03à l'épreuve
12:04à l'épreuve
12:04à l'épreuve
12:05à l'épreuve

12:08de ses
12:09Aux
12:12l'épreuve
12:28de gloire
12:31plus qu'il y a quelqu'un d'autre sur le roster.
12:35Mais Dragon Spirit
12:37est venu.
12:38Non, le DDT.
12:42Shingo est venu à l'adjuste
12:44mid-move
12:46et deliver
12:47un painel DDT
12:49à Zack Sabre, Jr.
12:52Zack Sabre, Jr.
12:53a plus de tournée à l'aise
12:54que Shingo Takagi.
12:55Zack a l'aise 10
12:57en sa première fois
12:59en l'aise 10
13:01comme on a la semi-final
13:02avec Ishii et Kota Ibushi.
13:05Straight into that corner,
13:06the rear plash in the neck.
13:25Ssss.
13:29Zack collapsing
13:30under the pressure
13:31and pain.
13:34Short headbutt there,
13:35catching Zack
13:36in the temple.
13:38Shingo's going to make him run.
13:45Zack could have put the brakes on.
13:47Finished the run
13:48to the corner.
13:49Shingo had the answer, though.
13:52Oh, nobody more dangerous,
13:55but, oh my God,
13:56just as I was going to say,
13:59the sheer acceleration
14:01of Zack Sabre, Jr.
14:02and the sheer
14:04ability to counter
14:06on a hairpin
14:08of Shingo Takagi.
14:10The reflexes on the man.
14:13And now we've passed
14:15at least in length
14:16Zack Sabre, Jr.'s efforts
14:18in Oberhausen.
14:21But it's just as tough a task
14:23to survive Shingo Takagi
14:25and Ota.
14:37Shingo was the guy
14:42in 6th grade
14:43and he's always been
14:46a dangerous phenomenon
14:49that's been, you know,
14:50in terms of the British scene
14:51since 2006, 2007.
14:53Shingo was the guy
14:54in 6th grade
14:55that already had a mustache.
14:57You know, I mean,
14:58they don't build him
15:00like Shingo.
15:02Oh, and Zack is firing away
15:04in a straight right hand.
15:06An admonishment
15:07from the referee.
15:19Wow.
15:20Shingo.
15:24Oh, there you go.
15:26Boy, if Zack
15:27didn't catch that arm.
15:29Shingo with the escape.
15:30Up on the shoulders.
15:31Watch out, watch out.
15:33There we go.
15:35Oh, man.
15:37Oh, man.
15:37Wow.
15:38They can't win.
15:40No, but he can do
15:41a hell of a lot of damage
15:42in four seconds.
15:43Yeah, Shingo is praying
15:44for Red Shoes
15:45to be quick with that count.
15:46was up on Shingo's shoulders
15:48for just a second
15:49and the Death Valley driver
15:52denied.
15:54Zack so adept at using
15:55the ring as a weapon.
15:59Ah, that slick did that
16:01to Naito the other night
16:02and just jams him.
16:04Shoulder capsule driven
16:05right into the mat.
16:07It was a leg submission
16:08the other night.
16:09Chris, tonight,
16:10it could be
16:11via the right arm.
16:12He's absolutely found
16:14his mark
16:15and that's where
16:16he's going to go
16:17and you don't think
16:19he won't deviate.
16:20He'll always take
16:21whatever option
16:22he has in front of him
16:23but there's a lot of ways
16:24he can hurt
16:25that right arm.
16:26You're seeing it there.
16:31Might be looking
16:32for Clarky Cat
16:33to finish this match up.
16:35And Shingo immediately
16:36he's got his left leg
16:38on that bottom rope
16:39and Red Shoes does.
16:40All right, now we're going.
16:41Now we're bloody going.
16:52Now we're bloody going.
17:00Get up.
17:01Get up.
17:02Yeah.
17:04Oh, Dragon Screw.
17:07That again.
17:09Tanahashi's had a neck
17:11of Dragon Screwing
17:12Zack Sabre Jr.
17:13Shingo
17:14obviously doing his homework.
17:16Sliding there.
17:16No, caught.
17:17Oh, he's got that arm.
17:19Here we go.
17:19There.
17:25You put Zack Sabre Jr.
17:27right up with Switchblade.
17:28Jay White
17:28as one of the best
17:30counter wrestlers
17:32of all time.
17:32Not in terms of reversals
17:34but in terms of
17:35I'll take three shots
17:37if it gives me an opening.
17:38And that's exactly
17:39what he did
17:40to create an opening
17:41on that shoulder.
17:42Now trying to work
17:44the nerves
17:44to get Shingo
17:45to push back.
17:47Uh-oh.
17:48Stomps on the tri-step
17:50but you can see
17:50the collapse
17:51of the arm underneath.
17:55Come on.
17:56Come on.
17:57Come on.
17:57Come on.
18:18You can tell
18:22he's a right-handed
18:23fighter.
18:24Yeah, let's not forget
18:25that's the pumping bomber arm.
18:26That's the two pumping bombers
18:28that he took in Germany
18:29all those years ago
18:30and that might be weakened
18:32but Noshigami will connect.
18:35Yes, sir.
18:36Noshigami.
18:40You can't train your face
18:42and that's exactly
18:43what collided
18:44with the mat.
18:46Zack Sabre Jr.
18:47looking to take away
18:48one of the most
18:49prominent weapons
18:49of the IWGP
18:51World Heavyweight Champion.
18:52Shigo Takagi
18:53finding a way
18:54to overcome
18:55but can he will himself
18:57to the finish line
18:57and defeat Zack
18:58here tonight?
19:02Wilbarrow.
19:03No.
19:09Hang on.
19:10Down the line.
19:11Oh!
19:17I almost thought
19:18he was going for that
19:20Ta-Nehisi-like
19:21dragon screw
19:22through the ropes
19:22and instead
19:24misdirects.
19:24I glance over
19:25to my left
19:26at El Desperado
19:28doing Japi's commentary.
19:30He's done
19:30that same type of move
19:31but look at this!
19:32Oh!
19:34Almost like a
19:35Mahistral
19:36now trying to get
19:37that arm to go straight
19:38but can he break
19:39Shingo's grip?
19:43He does!
19:46I think Shingo
19:47was giving that up
19:48to try and find
19:48position.
19:49Instead
19:50Zack Sabre Jr.
19:51finds a triangle
19:53trying to drive
19:54the consciousness
19:55out of Takagi.
20:01Obviously
20:01yep
20:03Oh!
20:04The stack
20:06right there too
20:06and immediately
20:09look at this
20:11look at this!
20:12An STF
20:13but wrenched
20:14all the way back.
20:17That's the game
20:18Shingo wants to play
20:19he wants to tap
20:20Zack out.
20:28Zack's leg
20:29is bending
20:30in the complete
20:30opposite direction
20:32and Zack able
20:34to get to the
20:34bottom rope.
20:35So Takagi
20:37obviously
20:37realized
20:38that he was
20:39in better position
20:40from a strength
20:42perspective
20:44risking the triangle
20:45instead of
20:47having that arm
20:48go straight.
20:49And boy
20:50did it pay off
20:50wheelbarrow
20:52suplex!
20:56Suplex!
21:02Shingo's starting
21:03to feel it
21:04Otis feeling
21:05it too
21:08He's got that arm
21:09hold up
21:21and it could be
21:22time to
21:24see made in Japan
21:29stand around
21:30switch
21:30half and half
21:32Shingo back

21:33look at his feet
21:34oh my!
21:38Out and no
21:39yet
21:40Zack Sabre Jr.
21:41didn't bounce
21:41back to his feet
21:42that was a
21:43decisive shot
21:48Reggie is maybe
21:49thinking about
21:50putting a count
21:50on both
21:51these guys
21:51now
22:03Shingo dealing
22:04with
22:06nerve issue
22:08muscular pain
22:09in his right arm
22:12Shingo!
22:13Uh oh!

22:16Oh!
22:17Kicked away the arm
22:18and the other one
22:20again
22:22Shingo somehow

25:11Chris
25:11you see the way
25:12he was able
25:12to hook the leg
25:13of Zack
25:14and that allowed
25:15Zack to stay
25:16attached to Shingo
25:17as he rolled
25:18his body over
25:19so even in
25:21a situation
25:22where Shingo's
25:23arms are
25:24completely compromised
25:25his hand free enough
25:26to lead to that rope break
25:49what'd you say
25:50about those rear naked chokes
25:51here we go
25:54pop up

27:06le path to submission victories
27:08pour Zach Xavier Junior
27:09quand il a won
27:09le New Japan Cup
27:10en 2018.
27:14One step better
27:15would be to go
27:16from putting Naito
27:17on the shelf
27:18to submitting
27:21the IWGP
27:22World Heavyweight Champion
27:23and those were
27:24Tetsuya Naito
27:25like elbows
27:26to the neck
27:27of Shingo Takagi.
27:30Striking the World Heavyweight Champion
27:31in the heart
27:32Abe-san
27:33the timekeeper
27:34sitting just to my right
27:35he's got the stopwatch
27:37in his hand
27:37and yes
27:39very much
27:39a Naito-like position now.
27:46But Shingo's absorbing them
27:47Chris
27:48it seems to be
27:49motivating him
27:49and now look at this.
27:53There we go
27:54no
27:54no
27:55no

28:15Shingo once more
28:16from these fans
28:17in Ota.
28:27and it was that rally
28:28of forearms
28:30that turned the lights out
28:31on Zack Sabre Jr.
28:33in Germany.
28:35Zack keeping his teeth
28:36clenched as tightly
28:38as possible.
28:52and there we go
28:54right back to it.
28:58Zack Sabre Jr.
28:59having flashbacks.
29:00Wait a minute.
29:03PK no

29:22Made in Japan
29:23less than five minutes to go
29:33Here we go
29:35Pumping
29:36bobber
29:41Can't follow up
29:42can't follow up
29:43That
29:44all that work
29:45that
29:45Zack did
29:46on that arm
29:47is paying off now
29:48Could not follow up
29:50even to cover
29:51Zack Sabre Jr.
29:53after hitting
29:53pumping bobber
29:55He's biting his own arm
29:57He's headbutting his arm
29:59to get circulation in there
30:04Wait a minute now
30:05He's got him
30:05No
30:05Last of the Dragon
30:06Zack's got an answer
30:08Double wrist lock
30:10Ooh
30:11Straight right hand again
30:13Headbutt
30:14Like running into
30:15a brick roll
30:16Single
30:17Lamp
30:18Zack there
30:21Second effort
30:22Here we go
30:23Up on the shoulders
30:23There's no again now
30:24Rear neck and choke
30:33Oh beautiful
30:35Nobody's giving up the arm
30:37And now
30:40Uh oh
30:41Uh oh
30:42He's in trouble here
30:45Zack's got him
30:46Zack's got him
30:48Shingo can't go out
30:49That's the right arm
30:50That's the right arm
30:51That's the right arm
30:51That's the right arm
30:53Oh
30:54Now the leg's laced as well
30:56Giving up a triangle
30:57Constantly
30:58Constantly
30:59Improving his position
31:00As Shingo's
31:01Constantly
31:02Constantly
31:03Worsens
31:09Red juice has got to be
31:11Watching for attack
31:12We've got three minutes left
31:14Three to go
31:21And the call from Abe
31:23Bringing Shingo
31:24Back to consciousness
31:25Trying to hoist Zack again
31:27But not enough
31:28He's up
31:29He's up
31:31Zack Sabre Jr.
31:33Has just submitted
31:34The IWGP
31:35World Heavyweight Champion
31:38He finally got the right arm
31:49Boy for a guy
31:51Who constantly changes
31:53Constantly moves
31:55He stayed patient
31:57Zack stayed so patient
32:00And waited
32:01Knowing eventually
32:02Shingo would move
32:04And when he got the arm
32:06He had it
32:07And Zack Sabre Jr.
32:09Has just submitted
32:11Shingo Takagi
32:13Zack Sabre Jr.
32:14Stay patient
32:15For 12 years
32:16For this moment
32:18To submit
32:19The IWGP
32:20World Heavyweight Champion
32:24Make that 12 submission wins
32:26For Zack Sabre Jr.
32:29This year
32:30And make that
32:32The second
32:33Zack Sabre Jr.
32:37Has submitted
32:37Tetsuya Naito
32:39And Shingo
32:40And Shingo Takagi
32:42And this ain't
32:43The spring tournament
32:44This isn't
32:45The New Japan Cup
32:46This is the big one
32:48This is the G1
32:49And Zack
32:50Is two for two
32:58Now Zack Sabre Jr.
33:00And great Okan
33:01Sitting pretty
33:01At six points
33:06With the forfeit
33:07From Tetsuya Naito
33:08In mind
33:22Did they get over 28?
33:24I couldn't make out
33:26What he said
33:26I think we're right around
33:28That 28 minute mark
33:32Once we got the call
33:34For 27
33:36Shingo like you said
33:38Ok I've got to do something
33:40I'm going to try to win this match
33:42I'm not going to
33:42Oh look at this
33:44Shingo left something behind
33:46The IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champion
33:50One half
33:51Also hoisting high
33:54The IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
34:17Shingo gets to leave
34:18With that 16 karat gold
34:20Over his shoulder
34:21For now
34:23But that's something
34:25That Zack Sabre Jr.
34:27Probably already has
34:28Mentally circled
34:29On his calendar
34:38You have got to tip your cap
34:40To Zack Sabre Jr.
34:41You have to
34:56I don't think it is a surprise
34:58You can't say it's a surprise
35:17Shingo definitely is the strongest
35:19But who won?
35:21Guess what?
35:22The IWGP Tag Champion
35:24Just picked
35:25The IWGP World Bloody Champion
35:29And you want to know
35:31You want to know
35:33What IWGP
35:36I'll tell you
35:37Kevin Kelly
35:39You're listening mate
35:40I'll tell you
35:42My outrageous
35:43Techers
35:44Yes I am
35:46The best technical wrestler
35:48In the world
35:48This G1 Climax
35:50Is mine
35:51Two down
35:53Seven dickheads to go
35:55As you were
36:04Two days in
36:06Two bloody days in
36:07That's it
36:09Two days in
36:12You can stop this
36:13Quick dickheads to the building
36:15It's over this
36:18Well before the tournament started
36:21There was over
36:21Half of our fans
36:23Two days in
36:43And if those people aren't changing their picks to Zack Sabre Jr. right now
36:48Then I don't know what you're thinking
36:51Because Kota Ibushi is next
36:53And it has to be to me
36:56My money's on Zack in COVID
36:57You know from what we saw tonight
37:00With Kota Ibushi
37:02I would agree
37:05Straight up it's a pick'em
37:08But Ibushi looks a little off
37:10Still not physically, mentally there where he needs to be
37:15And Zack Sabre Jr.
37:17We talked about Tanahashi peaking
37:18Well guess what
37:21Zack Sabre Jr. has peaked at the exact right time
37:24The exact right time
37:25You think of it
37:27A better start
37:28To the G1 Climax
37:29To beat the tournament favourite
37:32When it comes to the fan poll
37:34And to beat
37:35The IWGP World Heavyweight Champion
37:37Consecutively
37:38Here's that
37:39When old Dragon Bollocks got here
37:42Losing to Shingo
37:43In 2009
37:4416 Garrett Coldor
37:46Semi-finals
37:49A very important moment in my career
37:51I've wasted a very long time
37:53To beat Shingo Takagi
37:55Our old Dragon Tits
37:58And the fact that he's IWGP World Champion
38:00That just makes it sweeter
38:02Sweet like a nut
38:03Sweet like Tropicana
38:06Oi
38:07I'm not in this tournament to have fun
38:09There's a lot of people in this
38:11That are just happy to be taking part
38:13I'm not honoured to be in this tournament
38:15I'm one of the best wrestlers in the world
38:17I'm the best technical wrestler in the world
38:19I need to win this tournament to prove that I'm the best wrestler in the world
38:24Two matches in
38:27Naito is in the hospital
38:30I'll give you a reenactment of Naito
38:32I'll give you a reenactment of Naito
38:33I think it's broken
38:36Naito is lucky
38:36I didn't break his right leg as well
38:38Oh everyone's got sympathy for Naito haven't they?
38:42Barely two months ago
38:43That prick trying to break my legs
38:44And he stole the IWGP Tag Team Championship from me
38:47I don't get any sympathy do I?
38:49Oh poor Zack
38:49No nothing
38:51Oh Naito
38:52Zabashi is in the hospital
38:53Ibi stays there
38:56And then talking about his teammate
38:58I hope Takagi's arms broken
39:01Like I said I'm not in this tournament to have fun
39:03This isn't a Tiddlywinks competition
39:05This isn't an origami making competition
39:09The G1 Climax is the most important tournament
39:13In all of pro wrestling
39:16The IWGP World Championship
39:17It might be new
39:18But whoever is the top in New Japan
39:20Is the most important wrestler in the world
39:23I'm very proud of everything I've done with this tag title
39:25But if you think
39:27I'm only a tag team champion
39:29You're a fucking pleb
39:34I chose to save the tag team division
39:37But don't forget
39:38Don't forget
39:40How bloody good I am
39:42I've won championships all over the world
39:44I've won tournaments all over the world
39:46And fair play, fair play
39:49I've not won an IWGP singles championship yet
39:51Well that bloody changes, doesn't it?
39:53That bloody changes
39:56Look at the state of my two opponents
40:01Straight to the bloody hospital
40:02They're probably side by side
40:04Taking up beds that are very needed
40:06They don't need a hospital bed
40:07They just need to quit
40:08I won't quit
40:10I won't quit until I win this tournament
40:11I won't quit until I'm the world champion
40:16I've got my mojo back
40:17Zaki big techers
40:19The human udon noodle
40:21The windy man
40:22The long mover
40:24Zaki big bloody techers
40:26When I'm on form
40:28No one can touch me
40:31Nobody's got the techers
40:34Well
40:36I'll leave it there for now
40:38So in summary
40:39That's the Japanese dragon
40:41Done
40:44I wonder where the American dragon is
40:46I wonder where that ticket is
40:50Well hello
40:51Zack definitely does have his mojo back
40:55As we look at the scoreboard
40:58And
41:03Yeah there you see
41:04Great Okan at six points
41:08Zack Sabre Jr. will be upset
41:10That he isn't listed
41:12Well of course he's at four points
41:13When you think about it
41:14Yeah I'm sorry
41:15I did say six
41:16But Zack Sabre Jr. beat Tetsuya Naito
41:18So he doesn't get an extra two points on forfeit
41:20Great Okan is at the top of the block
41:23And Great Okan coming up on Sunday in Kobe
41:27Takes on Yujiro Takahashi
41:29Who sits at four points
41:31So winners tonight
41:33Zack Sabre Jr.
41:34Kota Ibushi
41:35Kenta
41:35Great Okan
41:37And
41:38Tangaloa won the opener in a non-tournament match
41:41Of course
41:41The injury to
41:43Tetsuya Naito
41:44His tournament is over
41:45At zero points
