04:01G1 climax you went over to Vietnam on his own time you know paid his own way
04:06out there and just to see what the scene is like all through Asia spent last year
04:11spent a lot of time in Indonesia and year headed to Vietnam and
04:16this is your Yota surgery really wants to grow us not just in Vietnam but all
04:20South East Asia and expanding markets for new japan pro wrestling this could be the first step of
04:25a lot of great things for new japan pro wrestling and vpw
04:29you said it perfectly with that bell sounding history is about to be made
04:34and we kick it off with one man who certainly wrote his name into history back in august ch
04:41ris that's riohei oya what g1 climax 36 winner
04:44the challenge for the iwgp heavyweight championship for the first time on october 12th
04:49and it's a well a difficult climb for yohei oya we've been beaten by yoda
04:54suji twice once with
04:56a very quick flash pin and g1 climax in 2025 and then again with that fire blaster in
05:022026
05:03at the same time though suji recognizes is intimidated by said he was intimidated by the momentum
05:10that yohei oya has gathered all right chris let's talk about it let's talk about
05:14what we saw yesterday
05:15oyewa playing a little bit of a different strategy yesterday in our cork and hall preview
05:19tarking the lower half of yoda suji heading in and looking to go that way one
05:23moretime
05:24and suji had that one scouted before he could get started there yeah certainly i mean when you
05:29're
05:29there's levels to this and when you're at the very top of your game as yoda su
05:33ji is
05:33ohi oya always thinking two or three moves ahead oh there you go though yeah i like it
05:40whoa look at
05:42this now this is something that riohei oya may not be as well prepared for a l
05:48ucha libre background that
05:49suji brings to the table for sure it was background his entire career has been in japan didn't
05:55't make an
05:56st international excursion instead stayed in japan in pro wrestling noah that is the essence of
06:04yohei oya the old adage of you're not a man who has practiced a thousand moves
06:08But one move a thousand
06:10times i really love what we're seeing out of riohei oya of course we get to
06:16see aries make the tag into
06:18the ring zack saber jr on the other side and saber jr is going to be quickly
06:22making an appearance october
06:2324th brawl hallows eve coming up in uh vietnam pro wrestling exactly zack saber
06:28JR Ethnic Aries
06:30brawl hallows eve october 24th so this is not just a preview of what's
06:34to come at king of pro wrestling
06:35it's also a preview of what's happening in vietnam pro wrestling as well and i love it
06:39Yeah, it's going
06:40to be a great time of course on october 24th as riohei oewa taking
06:44The target suji head scissors
06:46breaking out okay that gut punch there that might have done a little bit of damage to the ohio
06:52right
06:53there cutting the covering the rib cage that's something that zack saber jr knows a lot about
06:58yeah damage to the intercostal muscles over years of action that zack saber has competed in and
07:04hey here
07:04we go here's a moment in time gentlemen 11 years ago people in vietnam were told it's
07:10impossible to be
07:11a pro wrestler there was no professional wrestling there was no ring there was nothing until a small
07:16group of guys called the saigon pro wrestling club started a collective of wrestling that became vietnam
07:21pro wrestling the best of that lot is the man you're seeing in the ring right now the unstoppable
07:25force
07:26aries and that is exactly why aries was scouted by the current iwgp heavy
07:31Weight Champion and Why
07:32zack saber jr said hey i want to take my talents over to vietnam if suji
07:36He says he can find the best
07:38let me test the best this is the intensity that aries is known for he's faced some of
07:53The best
07:53across southeast asia so for him to be in the ring with two men who have won the g
07:571 Sea people
07:58who have won the iwgp championship for him to be in there and doing what he's
08:03Doing this is why Suji
08:04scouted a man like him yes here's the cover for aries and a count of two on
08:09the former heavy weight
08:10champion and g1 winner xavier you and i have called a lot of action in vietnam pro
08:14wrestling over the
08:14last few years of aries reigning as a dominant vietnam champion called the unstoppable force but
08:20it's not being unstoppable in the ring as much as unstoppable for the dream the dream of being a
08:25pro
08:25wrestler here in japan and aries getting to accomplish that tonight you said it perfectly it's a
08:30mind
08:30this man has gone through so many roadblocks hold on a minute here zack saber jr
08:37is looking to end
08:38that dream before it could really kick off
08:41uh-oh oh geez yeah
08:46tied up ten ways to sunday chris here's one way to stop the unstoppable
08:51this is new for aries this level of grappling submission maneuvers this is not something that he has
08:58had
08:58experience with and zach is taking him to school but it's a lesson he has to learn if you
09:01want to be
09:02a new japan pro wrestler that's something that's been tested in the no gay dojo for
09:05Aries for the last few
09:06months this is for a few short weeks but i don't think anywhere near to this level he's
09:13trying to get
09:13that big smaller size on aries going to make that difficult and just barely there yeah i'm curious
09:22xavier made that point to xavier jr obviously the british style relies very very much on
09:28cat style
09:29professional wrestling uh i'm not so familiar with combat sports in vietnam i mean broader away from
09:35pro wrestling what's the sort of combat sports background that aries might have encountered well
09:38for aries he's brute strength and force he's got the speed he's got the agility he
09:44's got the power
09:45and that's what i believe suji likes in him he has a intensity that is very very well
09:52Suitable for new
09:52japan pro wrestling splash into the cover very general athletic background for aries but i'll tell
09:59you here aries certainly knows how to make it work for inside a dpw ring it's
10:03a very different test though
10:05levels to the sport in new japan you couldn't have put it better this is a test that
10:09He must go through
10:10this is not about one match this is the first step towards making history by getting to that top
10:17level the championships and new japan glory like he is like all of the people he's in the
10:22Ring with
10:22have once had yes indeed boy what shot there
10:27it's all about forging a path for all the other athletes in southeast asia chris who
10:31want to one day compete here in the sports circle
10:34oh yeah that's a great point i mean i think vpw has become a melting pot in
10:41its own sense you
10:42know and a lot of athletes from thailand singapore you know a lot of wrestlers from around
10:46the Southeast
10:46asian scene have come to vpw rings and now from vpw to the world there
10:52is going to reach out to the
10:53iwgp heavyweight champion and aries closing in on making that tag but finally got it
10:59And here comes the
11:00heavyweight champion yoda suji a phenomenal athlete the real standard bearer but it's
11:06real who says he's set the new standard in the g1 climax tournament this year let's see
11:12if that comes
11:13to be the case of the endoku kebrada takes down saber and suji popped up into
11:20the backbreaker that's
11:21pure power for us okay almost like an irish curse style like a finley an old opponent of
11:27Yoda Suji
11:30there is that difference oil is definitely the better man the great best in the world over a
11:36one month stretch in the summer if you're the iwtp heavyweight champion you have to
11:42be the best in
11:42the world day in day out 365 days a year suji has to question if boy wasn't ready
11:49for that pressure
11:49but oiwa has to prove it all right here we go and straight out one more time here
11:54and suji oh
11:56no brutal what's this never made a saver is it down across that left arm
12:04how many times have we seen suji and uomura oiwa and uomura do
12:08a very similar dance inside
12:09that ring yeah i think suji was going for that very similar front style arm drag that uom
12:15Ura has done so
12:16we're in the past didn't work out for him i mean that's the difference the turn of
12:21the corner
12:22for the oiwa in the g1 this year was against you twice it was that one time
12:27where he was
12:27whoa brought out of his game plan when he was like i'm going to swim in you to ice
12:34his waters
12:34i think if yoda suji tries to wrestle oiwa's style that's how i was
12:39going to win this one
12:46one two three hit combo no combo denied and tenzan suplex delivered from the g1 winner
13:02i have to wonder whether hiriyoshi chenzen and our pearl will be inside in ni
13:07Ogoku again, I have a feeling
13:08he will that might be what puts over the edge on monday and when we go from talking about
13:14rio goku main events to rio goku main events of former g1 climax final with
13:19suji and saver
13:34junior might be forgetting a lot of things after that knee right in his skull and aries wants to
13:41Chase
13:42is it sg there's more that match in vietnam in a couple of weeks it's unbelievable
13:48to see aries
13:50fired up fans in the crowd fans in the stands with the flag of vietnam people out here around
13:56support it's an unbelievable sight something that never could have been imagined a decade ago
14:01expat it's aries who's been leaving the charge for vietnam pro wrestling over those years
14:07here's
14:08saver jr had the hold and fights right oh nicely done yeah i like it scrambling right
14:14now is aries but
14:15it's all about fighting the victory
14:19it's a very different ball game to get caught in the clutches of saver though chris
14:23yeah i think zach say the junior oh man now he's fighting in his wheelhouse
14:29and then there is here just a few more seconds it'll be night night for aries but look
14:40Here's the cover again
14:45this is why he is called the unstoppable force he's gone through setback after setback in life
14:52and yet he had a mission to become Vietnam's first top professional wrestler in a major promotion and
14:58he's doing it here today might be the first vietnamese pro wrestling to win a match in
15:02new
15:02japan pro wrestling i love it we're gonna see it here aries and yoda suji
15:09see if these two have a
15:10little bit of tag team acumen type

20:12up
20:15i don't know where i don't know when
20:21we don't know what stakes but it seems pretty clear to me that mjf thinks that
20:27rio heiwa was going to be my wgp heavyweight champion before jula

20:37be right on the money
