00:00The 5th match, G1 Climax, B Block, official match, 30 minutes, one match.
00:30The 6th match, G1 Climax, B Block, official match, 30 minutes, one match.
01:01Oleg, Tanahashi, Toru Yano, all three of those men going to battle against Los Ingobernables de Japon's
01:07Yorisuji, Bushi, Hiromu Takahashi, losing the number 6 tag team titles.
01:20It has been ever since that war.
01:23That Bolton Oleg has wanted to stare eye to eye with this man in singles action and it happens here.
01:30And it happens tonight.
01:32Let's go!
01:33Let's go!
01:34Let's go!
01:35Let's go!
02:05That they bring to the squared circle, it was Yorisuji in post-match comments most recently stating
02:10this is not amateur wrestling, Bolton Oleg.
02:13This is professional wrestling, so you better watch out when you step into the ring with me.
02:18A high confidence for Yorisuji, but is that confidence really worthwhile whenever you sit at the bottom of your block?
02:28And eating all the Marlowe pudding in the world be damned for Yorisuji.
02:33Yorisuji, two points on the board.
02:35Bolton Oleg joining a very cramped cast of characters in the four-point department.
02:41Those splits will be maintained here tonight.
02:46Los Ingobernables de Japon, Gene Blast.
02:50Yorisuji!
03:02Yorisuji!
03:06Yorisuji!
03:10Yorisuji!
03:14And there you see Toto Yano has joined the Japanese broadcast booth.
03:17No better to have joined the booth than Yano in a Bolton Oleg environment.
03:23An environment where Bolton Oleg, despite losing the never-open-weight six-man tag team titles to
03:28Bushi, to Yorisuji, and to Hiromu Takahashi,
03:31no longer worried about those never-sixers for the time being.
03:36It is all one-on-one between these two men here tonight.
03:44And the bell sounds. We're officially underway, and you can tell right out of the gate
03:49that this is one Bolton Oleg has had his eyes on since the Block B announcement.
03:55And argued in many ways, it was a driving force for Bolton Oleg,
03:58not only to put down Toto Yano, not only to put down Takahashi,
04:02but to put down Taiichi in the finals of the Block B qualifier.
04:05This could be a very quick one that we have on our hands here
04:08as Bolton Oleg is looking to showcase.
04:12As Oleg, two men that utilize this move to perfection,
04:15and Tsuji had it scouted well enough.
04:19As much as Bolton Oleg wanted to go eye-to-eye with Yota Tsuji back at Dominion,
04:23back at Osaka Joe Hall, it was Yota Tsuji that was not only overlooking
04:27the never-open-weight six-man tag team titles,
04:31rather overlooking Bolton Oleg entirely.
04:34And does the change from the young lion black trunks
04:37to what are now the Kazakh colors inspire maybe a different energy,
04:41a different attitude of fight in Yota Tsuji with Bolton Oleg tonight?
04:46No doubt about it, whatever the case may be that goes inside the mind of Yota Tsuji,
04:50he is no stupid man. He knows that this is a fight that he needs to win.
04:57It is a very low possibility of victory
05:00should you stick at two points forever in G1 Climax.
05:05This match so meaningful for Bolton Oleg as long as he's won it with Yota Tsuji,
05:09but also representing his home country of Kazakhstan in G1 Climax 34.
05:15Bolton was proud to see a first-ever gold medal awarded in judo to Kazakhstan
05:19in this year's 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
05:22He was also proud to see a gold medal awarded in judo to Kazakhstan
05:26in this year's 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
05:29A gold medal awarded in judo to Kazakhstan in this year's 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
05:35And was rooting on the four people that he trained with
05:38that are competing in the Kazakh team for amateur wrestling in this year's Olympics.
05:46And just as much the country of Kazakhstan cheers on Bolton Oleg in G1 Climax,
05:50but Yota Tsuji looking to shut down any hopes of a Bolton Oleg advancement in this tournament.
06:00Shaboom!
06:03Shaboom!
06:05These huge shots right to the midsection of Bolton Oleg.
06:08We've not seen a lot of weakness out of Bolton Oleg so far in this tournament.
06:13In fact, some of the shortest tournament action combined for Bolton Oleg so far in Block B.
06:1838 minutes, 16 seconds.
06:22Meanwhile, you have men like Shoto Umino, Zack Sabre Jr.,
06:26Tetsuya Naito wrestling an hour 15, an hour 20, an hour and a half combined so far in the tournament.
06:36Bolton Oleg trying to keep himself from being a young boy here tonight.
06:40Ditch the black trunks for this tournament and does not want to resort back to him by the end.
06:45That Boston Crab attempt here for Tsuji.
06:47And Tsuji is going to half to change his game plan.
06:57One more chance!
07:01A smile on the face of Yota Tsuji.
07:04Confused at the chance of Bolton Oleg from this audience here tonight.
07:08Bolton Oleg fired up by them though.
07:10And you can see it in his face right here. Tsuji calling for more.
07:14And Tsuji delivering one more that Oleg could handle.
07:19And these shots to the abdominals.
07:21They will continue to wear down the size and strength that is
07:25the Kazakh beast.
07:26But Bolton Oleg plants down Yota Tsuji.
07:33And it is these moments of weakness that Yota Tsuji shows, gets inside his own mind.
07:37Shows it a little bit too much and Bolton Oleg takes the advantage.
07:44It may not be amateur wrestling.
07:46This may be far from the Olympics because it is even more important in the mind of Bolton Oleg.
07:51These two points that he could win to make it to six points on the board in Block B here tonight.
07:58That would effectively lead Bolton Oleg to what is the top of Block B
08:02alongside Yuya Uemura and Konosuke Takeshita for the time being.
08:10Right out of the gate here. Bolton Oleg charges back.
08:13Going to have to charge in full force once that splash.
08:16That's a Tsuji special right there and Oleg uses it to great advantage.
08:19Once that splash for the first time manages to be the one to hit it.
08:23Cover here for Oleg and it's two.
08:29From a pure wrestling standpoint, Bolton Oleg has had this match completely in his own hands.
08:35And now we are going to shake Yamaguchi wall to wall.
08:39That Bolton shake is going to plant down Tsuji here tonight.
08:49Size, speed, agility out of the Kazakhstan leopard that is Boss.
08:58And Oleg wants that kamikaze up on the shoulders.
09:02So many things could happen from the fireman's carry position.
09:05Kamikaze, the verdict that we've even seen busted out from Oleg so far.
09:09Tsuji wants to make sure none of them come his direction here tonight.
09:14Underhooked here, would love a backslide.
09:16Something that creates separation or puts shoulders down to the mat.
09:23Oleg, Oleg, hold on.
09:25Can he lift the big man?
09:26Tsuji is the strength there.
09:28I'm just not certain that it is.
09:32Oleg, strongest member of this tournament so far, especially in block B.
09:36Trying to deadlift.
09:37Yo to Tsuji.
09:39Can he? No.
09:40Tsuji turns the pendulum.
09:47And it is Yo to Tsuji that is in a clear advantage right now,
09:51but only for time being.
09:53How long will it take for Bolton Oleg to get back to a vertical?
09:57Find himself in the upper position again.
10:17Bolton Oleg creating that separation once again.
10:20Has to avoid that Boston Crab.
10:22Any means necessary.
10:24And Oleg has wanted this match.
10:26Cannot let himself down.
10:28Cannot let down the family.
10:29The No Game Dojo.
10:30The people of Kazakhstan.
10:32Tsuji works for himself tonight.
10:34Cover here, and it's two.
10:37Oh, and a boot right off the dome.
10:47Bolton Oleg, this beast from the Kazakh mountains.
10:50Being topped here by Mount Tsuji.
10:53And it is Yo to Tsuji.
10:55Has that Boston Crab locked in in full effect.
10:59Feeling the pressure all the way down from the hips into the lower spine.
11:02And even beyond, Bolton Oleg is going to have to battle out of this
11:06for as many times as he's felt it in his days as a young lion,
11:09even throughout this G1 Climax tournament so far.
11:13And you did not come this far to New Japan Pro Wrestling
11:17to lose out to the Boston Crab in Yamaguchi.
11:23And Tsuji changes direction.
11:25Curb stomp.
11:27That is an instinct Oleg doesn't have.
11:29Cover here, two.
11:43Oh, huge knee.
11:48And that knee may be the call to victory
11:50and the key to it as well for Yo to Tsuji here tonight.
11:54Oh, this is a dangerous position, Bolton.
11:56You want to avoid this.
11:57Tsuji, Marlow.
11:59No, Oleg out of the way.
12:02And a shotgun into the sternum of Yo to Tsuji.
12:07Separation, red and blue corner.
12:09Someone has to walk away with two points here in the end.
12:24Bolton Oleg up on the shoulders.
12:27Fireman's carry wants to turn out.
12:29You'll see it.
12:30Verdict.
12:31No.
12:32Roll through.
12:33Cover.
12:34Tsuji shoulders down.
12:35Oleg nearly escapes at two.
12:38Watch out here.
12:40Oleg going to have to be careful for shots like this.
12:43A super kick off the ropes.
12:45Wants it.
12:46Got it.
12:47Bury it.
12:48Plants down Tsuji.
12:53Was moments away from landing that jean blaster was Tsuji.
12:57And up on the shoulders once again.
12:58Bolton Oleg.
13:00Not enough distance for Kamikaze.
13:03Wants to drop down Tsuji.
13:05Tsuji wearing down Oleg.
13:07Keep your vertical position here Oleg.
13:10You can do this.
13:12And he can do this.
13:14And he will.
13:16Kamikaze.
13:20No.
13:24That Kamikaze got Bolton Oleg four points on the board in G1 Climax 34 so far.
13:31If he takes one more shot, then one more shot it will be.
13:37Oleg no.
13:38Brought him too close to the corner.
13:40Tsuji holds on to that top rope for dear life.
13:44And Bolton Oleg breaks free.
13:46Took too much time.
13:47Tsuji.
13:48Tsuji.
13:49Jean blaster.
14:01Both join in.
14:17It is a match that Bolton Oleg has wanted for over a month.
14:20And you can see it in his demeanor right now.
14:22Knowing that his shoulders were pinned to the mat for three.
14:27Following what had to be Bolton Oleg's best singles performance to date.
14:40And as much as that smile may make you think that Yota Tsuji is above the pack right now.
14:44Yota Tsuji is not even above Bolton Oleg.
14:47The man he just defeated in the points department.
14:50Despite it all though, two more points added to the catalog.
14:53Tsuji.
14:54Four points in G1 Climax 34.
15:09And for Bolton Oleg it's going to be back to the drawing board.
15:12Because coming up night 10, August 4th.
15:15Block B action will roll on.
15:17And it will kick off with Bolton Oleg taking on the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion David Finley.
15:22And then of course a main event still to come August 4th.
15:25Yota Tsuji, Ren Narita.
15:27One on one.
15:33And fans we thank you for joining us here tonight.
