00:33What a tournament Doki's had, Kevin.
00:36He may not have the points,
00:37but I think he's really proven that he's a different wrestler this year.
00:41And this is...
00:43Again, we talked about the star power of Hiromu Takahashi.
00:47And while it would be just two points for Doki,
00:50and he may not be a finalist,
00:52if he could get a victory over Hiromu here,
00:55I think this would really set him
00:59on quite a different career trajectory.
01:04What is it with Doki and having an axe to grind?
01:08He had problems with Yoshihashi in Mexico.
01:11He's apparently jealous of Hiromu from their time in Mexico.
01:19I was just...
01:20Last night, Doki had some interesting things to say.
01:24Six years ago, they met in Japan,
01:26and they had similar careers.
01:28Same sort of age.
01:29You know, roughly doing the same thing.
01:31But Doki had no interest in going back to Japan.
01:34He wanted to make a name in Mexico.
01:37And he did the hard yards, Kevin.
01:38He was the one that was there and trying his best.
01:41And he was there for so long, almost 10 years.
01:44Everything he could do to make it to the top of the food chain.
01:46And he's seen Hiromu did it in less,
01:49did it in almost half the time.
01:51And Doki hated that.
01:52Doki really hated that he had to stay there
01:55and grind it out in the mud wrestling
01:57and the backyard shows
01:59and all the things that
02:01Hiromu and he feels the other people
02:03that were on excursion in Japan didn't have to do.
02:06Well, boo-hoo.
02:08Well, Kevin!
02:09What do you want me to say?
02:12I like Doki.
02:13Do you know how many indie guys
02:16complain and cry every day on social media?
02:19Seven.
02:20What am I supposed to do?
02:22Cry me a river, Doki.
02:24Here's your chance.
02:26Beat the guy.
02:28He stole your moves.
02:29That's what you're sore about.
02:33A lot of Hiromu's offense,
02:35as wild and unpredictable as he is,
02:37is patterned from the stuff he saw
02:39Doki do in Mexico.
02:43Why not just say it?
02:44You're mad because you stole my moves.
02:48Gino, who do you hate?
02:52Who do you have deep regrets?
02:55Oh, everybody.
02:56Anybody who's made it
02:58to the big time as a pro wrestler?
03:03How dare you?
03:03How dare you open this blue?
03:05I don't want to talk about it, kid.
03:06You know exactly who I'm going to say.
03:07I don't want to say anything.
03:12Is that Doki in his picture book?
03:15I bet the same picture of Doki.
03:17Ha!
03:18That's a disturbing thought.
03:21So just one defeat so far
03:23for Hiromu Takahashi.
03:25That was controversial
03:26against Del Desperado.
03:28Total match time
03:30has been dwarfed by Hiromu.
03:33An hour and four minutes.
03:36Almost hour and five minutes so far
03:39and the closest to him
03:4145, 46 minutes.
03:44So he's had almost like an extra match
03:46as the keeper of the
03:50scribe will be
03:51Milano Collection 18.
03:53and a half and five minutes.
03:59All right.
04:00Let's go back to the Rigga Dancer.
04:13Oh, look at that!
04:15Get him, Doki!
04:16Get him, Doki!
04:19So, Doki connecting and driving Hiromu, catching it by surprise, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised.
04:26Wait, Hiromu slipping in.
04:28Oh, jeez, that was quick.
04:30Yes, it was.
04:37You know, if Doki was smart, he would do what Rocky does and send him a bill.
04:42Every time he uses one of his boots.
04:44Bell sounds, we're underway.
04:46And Doki's getting ready to absorb that crazy suicide dive, but it's dead.
04:52Hiromu!
04:52Oh, no!
04:55Maybe that's what it is, Kevin.
04:56And Doki knows if he's got, if he's stolen Doki's playbook, Doki knows all the plays.
05:02That's a good point.
05:04Look at the Tofei Suicida.
05:06Jeez.
05:08Doki.
05:09He'll be putting him in Milano's lap.
05:11Driving him into the announce table.
05:13Yes, indeed.
05:14So, Hiromu, guess what?
05:16It's going to be another fight for survival for Hiromu Takahashi.
05:22And now Doki is going to go to the top.
05:25Doki was the originator of this move.
05:28And now Hiromu staring up.
05:31Oh, my God.
05:32Oh, Jesus.
05:36Jesus, Kevin.
05:39Doki nearly killed himself.
05:42And Doki was happy that he connected, but now the pain is surging in.
05:48Moves like that are not representative of a long wrestling career.
05:54That takes a lot off your bump card.
05:57Doki throwing himself from the top straight to the concrete floor.
06:02I don't even know what's up to Hiromu.
06:05That incredible top rope sent on.
06:08Yeah.
06:09Doki wiping out Hiromu and himself in the process.
06:17And this would be great satisfaction for Doki to force Hiromu to be counted out with the move
06:25that Hiromu stole and brought back to New Japan.
06:30And underneath the bottom rope, just barely to break that count.
06:39But after all that Hiromu has endured so far in this tournament, Gino,
06:43how in the world is he going to be able to withstand this type of offense from Doki?
06:49Well, that's the thing.
06:50I don't think Doki cares how many matches Hiromu has in
06:52or how many matches he has left
06:54or what his plans are in the best of Super Juniors.
06:56Doki's going to hurt him.
06:59One thing you've got to give it to Doki for.
07:02He's tough.
07:03He can take a lot of punishment.
07:05But he wrestles like every match is his last.
07:08Which is good and bad.
07:10He just throws himself at his opponent, Kevin.
07:13He doesn't care if he hurts himself or them or breaks the ring or the barriers.
07:18He's trying to prove a point.
07:20He's good enough.
07:21And that he deserves to be here.
07:27And something tells me that if he gets a win here over Hiromu,
07:30his style won't change.
07:31He'll still wrestle like,
07:33oh, well, they're going to fire me if I don't win.
07:35If I don't destroy myself.
07:40And now Doki on the move.
07:43What?
07:43Oh, jeez.
07:47I think a win here for Doki propels him in confidence even more so now.
07:51Two and a kick out.
07:55Imagine a win over Hiromu for Doki.
07:57That would be massive.
07:58And I think he knows it.
07:59And I think that's why he's trying his best to throw everything he can at Hiromu.
08:03And trust me, yeah, every junior heavyweight is aware of the star power of Hiromu Takahashi.
08:09And even though he's not the champion currently,
08:13he's the main man in the junior heavyweight division.
08:16He's the cover guy.
08:17He's the one that gets the endorsements.
08:20And knocking Hiromu off is a feather in your cap.
08:24So Doki now will look to send Hiromu, who reverses.
08:32Charges in.
08:33Doki gets the boot up.
08:34And now hits the ropes on the far side.
08:36Hiromu with a change of direction takes him over.
08:43Hiromu is still feeling the pain of his last few main events.
08:47He's had some long matches, Kevin, against some big opponents.
08:52And we go back to the very first match where he had his knee taken out by a chair from
08:56Desperado.
08:57Yeah, that is his first defeat as he tries to snap Doki over the top rope.
09:02And now instead will wheelbarrow him looking for a landing spot.
09:06Oh, it's right on the deck.
09:10I had a feeling this match wasn't going to be a traditional high-flying wrestling match.
09:15It was just going to be a brawl.
09:16And who can hurt the other the most?
09:19So now, Hiromu after driving Doki face first into the concrete floor.
09:27He's tried and missed once.
09:30Don't do it.
09:31Come on.
09:32Oh, and he connects.
09:35Doki's head hitting that barricade hard.
09:38And Hiromu again is back hitting the floor.
09:43Yes, he connected with the dropkick, but at what cost?
09:55At some point, somebody's going to have to talk some sense into Hiromu.
09:59Or is it just one day the realization that he can't get up anymore?
10:03You know, he can't get out of bed.
10:04He can't straighten his leg or whatever.
10:06And that will be when he modifies his style.
10:08What do you think it'll take, Gino?
10:10I think that's all it's going to be.
10:11I don't think anyone can say anything to convince him otherwise
10:14to change his style or the way he wrestles.
10:16We saw it on his return, Kevin.
10:18He started throwing himself into the barricades.
10:20Oh, face first.
10:21Doki driven down.
10:23Has Hiromu survived Doki?
10:25Not yet.
10:26Two count only.
10:28How many people do you know come back from neck surgery
10:31and throw themselves into barricades, Kevin?
10:32Yeah, one.
10:33And his name is Hiromu Takahashi.
10:35Even Will Ospreay, remember?
10:37When he said he mouthed us at ringside,
10:39I have no idea what he's doing.
10:41Yeah, we were shocked.
10:42Yeah.
10:44I didn't even know who the guy was.
10:46Yeah, you've been out of action for so long.
10:50But Hiromu is making sure we never forget him.
10:53That's absolutely the case.
10:56And now Doki catches.
10:58And he's got Doki, or he's got Hiromu
11:02in perfect position driving down.
11:03but Doki unable to connect fully.
11:13And now we'll pull him over just to elevate him
11:16and now drive him face first.
11:19Wait a minute.
11:20Instead two.
11:22Look at the split from Doki.
11:24Look at the split from Doki as he...
11:27He's in a great athlete.
11:30Doki uses it frequently and it is so difficult to kick out of that pin,
11:34but Hiromu lucky enough to be able to.
11:39Doki's on fire, Kevin.
11:42So now, Hiromu slowly crawling.
11:47And as he gets vertical, Doki DDT.
11:53on Hiromu incredibly strong.
11:57On the shoulders, looking to jam him.
11:59No, no, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
12:05Thought about the pop-up powerbomb,
12:07but instead this, Gino.
12:09Doki's been smart enough to get this Italian stretch
12:12into his repertoire.
12:13And it is effective.
12:17Locking his shins right underneath the throat of Hiromu
12:20and again dragging him away from that rope.
12:26So Hiromu was able to get to the ropes,
12:28forced the break of the Italian stretch.
12:37Certainly fights with a huge chip on his shoulder, does Doki.
12:43Hiromu had a counter for the first attempt at this DDT.
12:47Willie, this time, no, sir.
12:49Drives him down, DDT.
12:52And the surgically repaired neck of Hiromu
12:55and he takes the brush and a kick out.
12:59Drives him down right on top of his head.
13:08Actually, I'm not aware if Hiromu ever did have neck surgery.
13:13So perhaps I may have spoken in error there,
13:16but nevertheless,
13:18Doki now put him away.
13:21Suplex de la luna, no.
13:25Hiromu with the arm drag.
13:28Pop-up.
13:30Can't execute again.
13:32Tried the second time.
13:34Doki's throwing everything he's got at Hiromu.
13:47Doki's athletic ability was able to get him all the way over.
13:51A lesser athlete would have just landed square on the top of his head.
13:56Yeah, Doki's smart enough there to throw his body weight forward
14:00and flip all the way over.
14:02Only just skimming the back of his head.
14:04But you're right,
14:04we've seen it so many times.
14:05People land almost like a pin.
14:12And now Hiromu.
14:13Gino, you remarked at the bruising in Hiromu's body.
14:17It's pronounced.
14:18But he's fought through every challenge.
14:21Here in this tournament.
14:22Oh, takes him over with the dynamite plunger.
14:25And now two and a kick out.
14:28So the dynamite plunger,
14:30the setup for time bomb.
14:44Only ten minutes gone.
14:46It's felt like an hour's worth of action.
14:49These guys have just gone at each other.
14:51You can feel the bad blood that Doki can taste.
14:56He wants to prove it here.
14:58Wait a minute.
14:59Pulling the referee into the path.
15:05And now Hiromu is going to display some of that strength.
15:08Getting Doki up onto his shoulders.
15:11And jamming Doki into the red corner path.
15:16You can never discount Hiromu.
15:18He's always up for the challenge.
15:20Whatever it might be.
15:21Whatever Doki's going to throw at him.
15:24And now here we go.
15:25Time bomb.
15:26Time bomb.
15:27No.
15:29Rolls out of the way.
15:31Again, looking for that Italian stretch.
15:36Pulling those arms forward and really.
15:43Squeezing the life out of Hiromu again.
15:47Doesn't quite have that right boot around the side of the neck
15:52as much as he would like.
15:53But it is still a painful and debilitating hold.
16:00And he might have enough pressure applied.
16:04Hiromu could be knocked unconscious here.
16:06Do you know?
16:06I don't know if we notice a difference.
16:08Oh, I was just about to say.
16:11Hiromu's just got his normal face on.
16:13But Doki's trying.
16:14With all his mind, he's squeezing.
16:17He wants the win.
16:21He wants to beat Hiromu with his offense.
16:24Oh, smart by Doki.
16:28Before he can reapply the stretch, Hiromu drives him.
16:36Hiromu's strength, I think, is a really underrated part of his offense.
16:41We credit Sho for his strength.
16:44But we haven't really seen it on display here from Hiromu in this tournament, Gino.
16:49Yeah, for a guy I guess is not considered to be the biggest junior
16:52or the most ripped or jacked junior.
16:55He definitely has a lot of strength, a lot of core strength.
16:58And we just saw it then right against Doki, just deadlifting him into it.
17:07Doki!
17:15All right, so now, back on their feet.
17:21Test of will here.
17:33Laughing in the face of danger.
17:36Two sides of the same coin.
17:38Doki and Hiromu smashing wildly at one another.
17:44No regard for their own physical well-being.
17:59And Doki getting the better of the exchange.
18:02Unable to put Hiromu down.
18:04Ooh!
18:05Oh, jeez!
18:08What a step up in Zagari answer from Doki.
18:12Yeah!
18:14And now Hiromu's swinging a miss.
18:16Doki!
18:17Wait a minute, they collide!
18:20And they're right in the middle.
18:23Both want this.
18:26And Hiromu is able to meet Doki.
18:28Oh, Doki throws that lariat.
18:32He threw it like a baseball game.
18:41So now Doki, can he do it?
18:47Can he exercise the demons that have haunted him from their days together in Mexico?
18:53et beat Hiromu Takahashi
18:56Suplex de la Luna
18:57No, no, no
19:02Oh
19:04Oh
19:08Did you hear that?
19:11Jeez
19:13All the frustration, pain
19:15and disappointment
19:17went into that forearm
19:26And now up on the shoulders
19:30Oh, did you notice Hiromu had his arm
19:33Wait a minute now
19:34May not matter
19:35Gonna drive him down again
19:38Oh, look at this
19:39Look at this
19:40Oh
19:45One, two
19:47Wow
19:50You cannot get any closer to three
19:56I don't even know what he did, Kenneth
19:58But it looked like it killed Hiromu
20:01We expected a three count there
20:03I think Marty did as well
20:04But somehow
20:05Hiromu reaching down deep
20:07And kicking out
20:09One more time
20:10Suplex de la Luna
20:11Does Hiromu have an answer again?
20:13It doesn't look like it
20:14Oh, wait, wait, wait
20:15Roll up
20:16Roll up and stand
20:17Two
20:18And Doki barely kicks out
20:22Oh, thrust it again
20:25Thrust into the throat
20:31Huge lariat there
20:33But Doki fights back to his feet
20:37Practically out on his feet
20:41Not one way to give him to Hiromu
20:43Who drives him down again
20:48Leg hook two
20:49And Doki kicks out
20:51Doki kicked out
20:52Doki kicked out, Kevin
20:56Doki's still alive
21:08But the end is near
21:10Floor up on the shoulders
21:12Time Cass Key
21:15Timebomb
21:15Timebomb
21:16Two
21:16He got him
21:2016 minutes
21:22Ramani
21:33He gave it his all, Kevin
21:36Yep
21:37Nothing is gonna be easy
21:38pour Hiromu en cette tournée.
21:45Doki a vraiment gagné l'effet de Hiromu,
21:47et je pense qu'il a pris le reste de la Super Junior Tournament
21:51à notice que Doki est là.
22:02Doki est un dangereux, dangereux fan,
22:05mais Hiromu Takahashi survives
22:08et moves to six points à Super Junior 27.
22:323-1 pour le 2018
22:35Best of Super Junior Champion.
22:47Le only match in this tournament, Gino,
22:50where Doki will be a favorite
22:51is when he faces the Young Lion, Yuya Umura.
22:55Take that match out of the equation.
22:57Will Doki get another win in this year's tournament?
23:02I don't think Doki, I don't think Doki's points represent
23:05what a good tournament he's had.
23:07It's really been an eye-opener for a lot of fans.
23:10You see them talking about it online.
23:12And again, Doki showed it here tonight that he is a contender.
23:16Maybe this year isn't his year, Kevin,
23:19but I think there's a lot more Doki in the future.
23:21Yeah, I would agree with you.
23:24And for Hiromu,
23:27how is he going to be able to make it to the finish line?
23:29Well, I think it's really hot today.
23:32It's late, huh?
23:33It's late.
23:34But now,
23:35today's match has changed me all.
23:39I'll be happy to see you guys.
23:47Now, just having to crawl the final little bit.
23:52Wow.
23:56What a match.
23:57What a surprise of the tournament.
24:03Well, if I told you Doki was going to have one of the matches
24:05of the tournament, we would have laughed at each other.
24:07Yeah, right?
24:08Well, you know,
24:09little did we know that Doki harbored such a grudge against Hiromu.
24:17And getting respectful applause from the crowd.
24:22And deservedly so.
24:25With Doki yet to get on the board.
24:28And like Gino said, this might not be his year, but
24:33perhaps Doki is beginning to open some eyes of doubters.
24:37I'll put myself in that category.
24:39I was a doubter.
24:41I think we all were, Kevin.
24:42Yeah.
24:46I think if he could get a little bit more refined.
