00:00You want a hard hitting match in the New Japan Cup, you got one.
00:05I told you last night that a lot of folks had circled the Ishii El Desperado match and it delivered.
00:12But a lot of other folks said, man, oh man, I can't wait to see Minoru Suzuki versus Yuji Nagata.
00:18And if you said that, you were not wrong.
00:21This is a great, great rivalry.
00:24One of the best rivalries all time in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
00:30I want to thank my friend Chris Sampson for the sport of ProWrestling.com for stats that you'll be hearing
00:36through the final two matches tonight.
00:39He's been providing the statistical analysis all the way.
00:42The tie will be broken tonight.
00:46Nagata and Suzuki have faced each other ten times in singles matches dating back to 2003.
00:53including two New Japan Cup matches four times in the G1 and three at Wrestle Kingdom.
01:01And their all-time series is tied at five.
01:06Five and five Suzuki versus Nagata.
01:10And while Minoru Suzuki has the situational edge here, he's 2-0 against Nagata in the New Japan Cup.
01:19Minoru Suzuki knows that his path to the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the Intercontinental title as well lies in winning
01:29the New Japan Cup.
01:33He has been a semi-finalist and in 2012 and 2013, Minoru Suzuki faced Yuji Nagata in the first round
01:44of the New Japan Cup
01:45and defeated Blue Justice both times.
01:50What will happen here?
01:50As there are many treasureds in Michigan and large oportunities in Japan and 2013, Minoru Suzuki are the most famous
02:02target umbrella.
02:02No play is teams in this huge battlegrounds in the New Japan Cup
02:05most of our NFL games are on the track cause of the season's lap where never rolls around the other
02:06way.
02:09Yep.
02:11And before sunsetnier thelands witharoducting for the Kik recounts came,
02:20This is the first of seven first round matchups
02:26featuring wrestlers who have competed in previous New Japan Cups.
02:32This is Nagata's 13th New Japan Cup
02:37while Minoru Suzuki competing for the sixth time.
02:43And Nagata, a winner of the New Japan Cup in 07
02:47and in 2011 made the finals as well in 06.
02:57Last year, Nagata eliminated in the first round by Tomohiro Ishii
03:02and now Minoru Suzuki will look to do the same.
03:04These two cage lions are getting ready to spring.
03:07Bell sounds and here we go.
03:08They're going to smash each other.
03:11This may not go long, folks.
03:13We could have a quick knockout.
03:16Both men throwing bombs.
03:23Suzuki with the height edge, the weight edge.
03:26Their experience level almost equal
03:29while Nagata spent much more time competing in the amateur mats
03:32whereas Suzuki transitioned from an early career in New Japan
03:37into the world of mixed martial arts.
03:38He was one of the pioneers.
03:45Oh, Jesus.
03:47Just blasted him in the ear.
03:57These two have had wars.
03:59They've spilled blood at Tokyo Dome.
04:01They have competed in every situation and scenario you can imagine.
04:18Laughing in the face of his opponent
04:21is one of the common strategies for Minoru Suzuki.
04:34Both men over the age of 50
04:36but you are not going to find
04:39two athletes
04:40more prepared
04:42more physically ready
04:45for top flight competition
04:47in New Japan Pro Wrestling
04:48than these two.
04:53Nagata is hitting Suzuki
04:54as hard as he possibly can
04:56but Suzuki is
04:58just too much
05:00and Nagata is starting to
05:02perhaps weaken a little bit.
05:04He's on his heels.
05:11Suzuki looking to break the will
05:13of Nagata early
05:16by refusing to give in
05:18to the pain
05:19while striking Nagata's
05:23repeated forearms.
05:26These two have stood toe-to-toe
05:28since the bell.
05:33Oh.
05:39Heavy shot there
05:41puts Suzuki back on his heels.
05:48They are trading bombs
05:50like Hearns and Hagler
05:51and somebody could go down
05:53at a moment's notice.
06:02Oh my God.
06:11Nagata being called
06:12to come forward again.
06:17Neither man
06:18willing to give in.
06:20Nagata now.
06:21Suzuki's wide open.
06:26Suzuki refusing to
06:29give in.
06:41and now an open hand
06:43and a response.
06:48They have gone
06:49from the forearms
06:50to palm strikes.
07:00They are blasting each other
07:02time and time again.
07:04Neither man has left their feet.
07:12Suzuki.
07:14Nagata now doubling up,
07:16tripling up.
07:17and answer.
07:18The king continues.
07:20Nagata.
07:22They're trading.
07:31Rocking each other.
07:33Nobody's blinked.
07:34Nobody's taking a different,
07:36different tack,
07:37a different strategy.
07:40each wanting to break
07:41each other's will
07:42and jaw.
07:53And Suzuki refusing
07:55to let his hands
07:56touch the mat.
08:00and now Nagata
08:02with the boot
08:02and a slap.
08:08Combination by Nagata,
08:10but a short one there
08:10from Suzuki.
08:19A lesser man
08:20would have gone down
08:21and been carried
08:23to the back by now.
08:24But both men
08:24still standing.
08:25Finally Nagata
08:26the first to hit the mat
08:27and a knee bar
08:28by Benoro Suzuki.
08:38Nagata is in agony
08:40right here.
08:45and now repositioning.
08:49Hyper extending the knee,
08:51tearing the hamstring.
08:54Now looking for the heel.
08:56He's got the heel hook in,
08:57but Nagata's got
08:57the bottom rope.
09:03And were it not for
09:05Nagata grabbing
09:06that bottom rope,
09:07the Achilles could have popped.
09:08He could have submitted
09:09this one would be over.
09:15and it doesn't appear
09:16that these men
09:17have punched themselves out
09:18although they threw
09:20hundreds of shots.
09:22it seemed like Suzuki's looking
09:24he's found a chair.
09:27There's a chair
09:28underneath the ring
09:29and Marty Asami
09:30taking it away from him.
09:32At least trying to.
09:34Kudos to Asami.
09:37Refusing to give in.
09:39Refusing to be intimidated.
09:40but now Suzuki
09:43finding anything he can
09:45to use as a weapon.
09:51Now the cleaning
09:52and disinfecting
09:53is complete
09:54and therefore
09:56Suzuki will utilize
09:57that for his own means.
10:01smashing a bottle
10:03into the head
10:04of Yuji Nagata.
10:08Minoru Suzuki's
10:10last opportunity
10:11at the IWGP
10:12Heavyweight Championship
10:12was of course
10:13at Royal Quest
10:15in the fall of last year
10:17in London.
10:18Came up short
10:19against Kazuchika Okada.
10:23Suzuki's goal
10:24is to win
10:25the New Japan Cup
10:26and face Tetsuya Naito
10:27on July the 12th
10:29at Dominion
10:30Osaka Joe Hall
10:31for both the IWGP
10:33Heavyweight
10:33and Intercontinental Championships.
10:36And the long
10:37boiling rivalry
10:38between Suzuki
10:39and Naito
10:41could culminate
10:42in a double title chance
10:44for the King of Pro Wrestling
10:45and Asami having
10:46to disarm
10:47Suzuki again
10:49and now just being
10:49whipped through.
10:51Risking disqualification
10:53and a first round
10:54elimination here.
10:55We have not
10:56had a DQ
10:57but Yuji Nagata
10:59smashed
11:00his elbow
11:01smashed
11:01with the chair.
11:04Suzuki knew
11:04exactly what he wanted
11:06to do
11:06targeting the arm.
11:13And Nagata
11:14firing back.
11:15They've been out
11:15on the floor
11:16for quite a while here.
11:19And that referee
11:21Marty Asami
11:21finding that
11:22officiating
11:22Minoru Suzuki
11:23matches
11:24not something
11:25that can easily
11:26be done
11:27by one referee
11:28and now wrapping
11:29that arm
11:30around the ring post.
11:32Finally the count
11:33has begun.
11:37The face
11:38of the sadistic
11:39torturer
11:40Minoru Suzuki.
11:45count up to 10.
11:49Suzuki well aware
11:50of the count
11:51staying out there
11:52as long as he can.
11:53He'll happily
11:54advance via count
11:55out
11:56into the second round.
12:02Oh Nagata's
12:03not going to make it.
12:04He's not going to make it.
12:05Yes he will make it.
12:07Oh I thought
12:08when he slipped down
12:09that was it.
12:12I mentioned Suzuki
12:13and his last chance
12:15at the IWGP
12:16Heavyweight Championship
12:16against Okada
12:17Royal Quest.
12:18Look at this.
12:20The winner of this
12:21faces the winner
12:22of Okada and Gedo
12:23coming up
12:24at our main event.
12:25And unless Gedo
12:27has every trick
12:28in the world
12:28ever thought of
12:29up his sleeve
12:30it will be Okada
12:31who advances.
12:34So Minoru Suzuki
12:35looking to avenge
12:38two foes.
12:40First Nagata
12:41which would give him
12:42a 6-5
12:42all-time edge
12:43and then avenging
12:45the defeat
12:45to Okada
12:47in the second round.
12:49Ooh
12:51downstairs
12:51and then up
12:52my god.
13:01and before
13:02Marty Asami
13:03could do
13:04could really
13:05make a decision
13:07Suzuki's going
13:07to go back
13:08to torturing
13:09the legs.
13:12Wrapping the legs
13:13around the ring post.
13:23Oh
13:23Nagata's in
13:24a great deal
13:24of pain.
13:26As much as
13:27fans would love
13:28to see Yuji Nagata
13:29get one more time
13:30at the top
13:31Minoru Suzuki
13:32is doing everything
13:33in his power
13:34to put
13:35Blue Justice
13:36away.
13:43and now
13:44Nagata
13:45starting to
13:45start to stir.
13:47He realizes
13:48his tournament
13:49life hangs
13:50in the balance
13:50here.
13:51Single
13:52elimination
13:53New Japan Cup.
13:59Yuji Nagata
14:00his constant
14:02motivational
14:03thoughts
14:04on social media
14:05where he says
14:05every day
14:06I am Yuji Nagata
14:07and I will
14:07do my best
14:08today.
14:09And
14:10Minoru Suzuki
14:11doing his worst.
14:17Suzuki
14:18creating distance
14:19and will look
14:20to close in.
14:22Nagata
14:22barely able
14:23to stand.
14:24Defenseless
14:25as Suzuki
14:26hammers him.
14:27Now the
14:28snapmare
14:28the PK
14:29is on its way.
14:31Oh
14:31but Nagata
14:31catches it.
14:33Nagata
14:33catches the boot
14:34from Minoru
14:35Suzuki
14:36and hammers
14:37down on the
14:37knee.
14:44Nagata
14:45rares back
14:46mid-kick
14:46puts Suzuki
14:48down.
14:49Comes forward
14:50PK there
14:51into the chest.
14:53Suzuki
14:53refusing to
14:53stay down.
14:56A motivated
14:57and angry
14:58Minoru Suzuki
14:59and Yuji
15:00Nagata
15:01blasting away
15:01doing all he
15:02can to put
15:03this demon
15:03down.
15:04Keep him
15:04down.
15:05He can't
15:05do it.
15:12Suzuki
15:12refusing to
15:13give in.
15:14Refusing
15:14to go down.
15:16Wide open.
15:17Nagata
15:18teeing off.
15:22Minoru Suzuki
15:23is like a
15:23man possessed.
15:27Whines
15:27and hammers
15:28him again
15:29in the chest.
15:33Suzuki
15:33laughing.
15:35Smiling.
15:39Getting
15:39to feel
15:40the pain.
15:41Getting
15:41to feel
15:42the physical
15:43confrontation.
15:46I'm sure
15:47that 110
15:48days without
15:49professional
15:49wrestling.
15:50Exploder
15:51coming up.
15:52Oh
15:52he's going to
15:52choke him out
15:53right here.
15:53Front face
15:54lock.
15:55Nagata
15:55could go
15:55out.
15:56I'm sure
15:57that all
15:57this time
15:58off Suzuki
15:59has been
16:00just chomping
16:01at the bit
16:02waiting to
16:02go.
16:04He needs
16:05to feel
16:05that fight.
16:06He needs
16:06to feel
16:06that competition.
16:10And Nagata
16:11breaking
16:12the grip.
16:15So he
16:15will stay
16:16conscious.
16:16But now
16:17pump
16:17handle
16:18the arm.
16:19And perhaps
16:20Nagata
16:21can get
16:21to work
16:21here on
16:22a body
16:23part.
16:23He's been
16:24fighting for
16:24his life
16:25since this
16:25match
16:26started.
16:29Just
16:29trying to
16:30break
16:30Suzuki
16:31down at
16:32his center.
16:34And now
16:35kicking the
16:35arm.
16:39The
16:40forearms,
16:41the palm
16:41strikes,
16:42all the
16:43mid kicks,
16:44the PKs,
16:45and finally
16:47able to do
16:47some damage
16:48to the
16:48right arm
16:49has given
16:51Yuji Nagata
16:52some hope.
17:03Suzuki has
17:04certainly had
17:05his share
17:06of success
17:07in the
17:07New Japan
17:07Cup.
17:08He's made
17:08it to the
17:08semifinals,
17:10but he does
17:11not equal
17:12the record
17:13of success
17:13that Nagata
17:14has had
17:15in the
17:15traditional
17:16spring
17:16tournament.
17:26and now
17:28wrapping
17:29both arms.
17:30Nagata in
17:31danger of
17:32being choked
17:32out here.
17:36you see
17:36Nagata
17:37really
17:37crimping
17:38his chin
17:39trying to
17:39keep it
17:40as tight
17:40to his
17:40chest.
17:41That will
17:42help prevent
17:42Suzuki
17:43getting that
17:44arm on
17:45the
17:45carotid
17:46arteries,
17:46but Suzuki's
17:48technique just
17:49too good.
17:49Nagata's
17:50going out.
17:51One more
17:51time and
17:51the referee
17:52will stop
17:52it.
17:52No,
17:53he doesn't.
17:54Nagata
17:55hanging
17:55on.
17:56But Nagata
17:57is slipping
17:58into
17:58unconsciousness
17:59right here
18:00and Minoru
18:01Suzuki is
18:02on the
18:02verge.
18:03Wait a
18:03minute.
18:03Let's go
18:03on the
18:04hold.
18:04He wants
18:04to pin
18:05him
18:05out
18:05right
18:05too.
18:06And
18:06Nagata
18:07kicks
18:07out.
18:12So at
18:13the 15
18:13minute mark,
18:14Minoru
18:15Suzuki
18:15nearly had
18:16Nagata
18:17on the
18:17verge
18:17of
18:18unconsciousness.
18:19Now
18:19we'll
18:19take him
18:20right back
18:20there.
18:24what a
18:25sick and
18:25sadistic
18:26man Minoru
18:26Suzuki
18:27is.
18:31It's
18:32apparent
18:32to me
18:33that Suzuki
18:33just let
18:34go of
18:34the hold
18:35so that
18:36Nagata
18:36could come
18:36back to
18:37consciousness
18:37only for
18:38Suzuki to
18:39choke him
18:39out again,
18:40weaken him
18:41so much,
18:41soften him
18:42up for the
18:42gotch style
18:43pile driver.
18:45If he
18:45hits this,
18:46it'll be
18:47Suzuki to
18:47the second
18:48round.
18:49And for
18:49the third
18:50time,
18:50Minoru
18:51Suzuki
18:51will
18:51have
18:52eliminated
18:52Yuji
18:52Nagata
18:53in the
18:54first round
18:55of the
18:55New
18:55Japan
18:55Cup.
19:01Heavy
19:02knee
19:02catches
19:03Nagata
19:04in the
19:04chest.
19:13So
19:13now
19:14Suzuki
19:14here
19:15try
19:16another
19:17gotch
19:19and
19:19Nagata
19:20is
19:21going
19:21up.
19:21Nagata
19:22is
19:22going
19:22to
19:22get
19:22no
19:22no
19:23wait
19:23wait
19:23wait
19:23Nagata
19:24is
19:24fighting.
19:27Suzuki
19:28can't
19:29complete it
19:29Nagata
19:30now
19:30trying
19:30to
19:31press
19:31Suzuki
19:31up.
19:32You
19:32see
19:33blood
19:33in the
19:33mouth
19:33of
19:34Yuji

24:19An
24:20absolute
24:20slugfest.
24:21a colossal war
24:23of two all time greats
24:28Yuji Nagata
24:29has avenged a pair of first round
24:31defeats
24:33by Minoru Suzuki
24:35moves their all time
24:37head to head record, Nagata with the
24:39advantage now 6 to 5
24:42and Nagata
24:43has advanced to the second
24:45round of the New Japan Cup
24:47the best news of all
24:49for Yuji Nagata is that he will
24:51have a full week to recover
24:53before he faces either
24:55Gato or Okada
24:57in the second round, he's going to need
24:59every minute of it
25:10Nagata chose to stand and trade
25:13with Suzuki
25:20but Nagata
25:22always had that wrestling
25:24technique in his back pocket
25:26and he didn't show his hand
25:28until over 20 minutes
25:29he must have taken a thousand shots
25:32in that match
25:36but when the time was right
25:38he stepped in
25:39delivered the exploder
25:40and then finally the back suplex
25:41kept him right there
25:42and pinned him 1-2-3
25:45a great wrestler
25:46has beaten a great fighter
25:47in the first round of the New Japan Cup
25:52and while Minoru Suzuki
25:53will certainly go down
25:55as one of the all-time greats
25:57Yuji Nagata
25:58has just defeated him
25:59and has advanced
26:00to the second round
26:01of the New Japan Cup
26:14and in a year where
26:16Yuji Nagata
26:17we all bid farewell
26:19to his pal
26:20Manabu Nakanishi
26:21there seems to be
26:22extra motivation
26:23for Yuji Nagata

26:26New Japan Cup

26:39as it gets
26:40right there
26:41what a war
26:42in our semi-final
