SportsTranscript
00:00Who's this? I don't even know what the card is today.
00:14Gave a sudden shake-up aside, we appreciate you joining us here at the English broadcast
00:22booth, but I gotta ask for your best behavior tonight, man.
00:25Behave yourself. Talk to me like that and I'll smack you.
00:28Okay, I'm sorry.
00:29Yeah, you better be.
00:31Who's this?
00:32Ah, you, Joe. Little you, y'all.
00:42You know, I used to beat this guy up every day in the dojo.
00:46I believe it.
00:49Too funny.
00:52You have a sick and twisted idea of humor, but Yuya Uemura has a straight-up ideology
01:00when it comes to professional wrestling, believes that he is the holder of his own variation
01:05to what true strong style is.
01:07And admittedly, throughout Block B competition, it has been proven time and time again, leading
01:13Block B in points, alongside Kinnosuke Takeshita, six points on the board.
01:18Yuya Uemura.
01:20Yuya's leading Block B.
01:28And while Yuya Uemura may be standing next to Kinnosuke Takeshita, leading Block B, an
01:33opportunity here tonight for Yuya Uemura to set himself apart here tonight.
01:50Let's go.
02:15Gabe, a man that I know you are well familiar with, you have had your own battles inside
02:19cages, outside cages, draws, wins, losses all across the board on every side of the
02:24playing field.
02:25Hanare, the Never Openweight Champion, walks in with four points to take on one man leading
02:31B Block here tonight in Yuya Uemura.
02:33How are you going to talk about manner, talk about spirit when you've got four points?
02:37How many matches in are we?
02:38Four down.
02:39Four done.
02:40Yep.
02:41So how is he going to talk about manner?
02:42Where has his spirit gone when he's been losing more than he's been winning?
02:47And why is he holding my belt as well?
02:49That's my belt.
02:50I'm the openweight king of this.
02:52Holding my belt.
02:53Only a matter of time before I take that.
02:56Whenever I want.
02:58Hanare has very different opinions as to who the true openweight champion is in New Japan
03:03Pro Wrestling, but it is not about the Never Openweight Championship here tonight.
03:07It is about points on the board and an opportunity for Hanare to match the top of B Block here
03:13tonight.
03:16The Never Heavyweight Champion, Face of Fury, Hanare!
03:25This guy was yapping so much on commentary when I was wrestling Sonoda that I might have won.
03:30This guy was constantly in my ear during that match, distracting me.
03:35Don't even dare look at me.
03:36You don't even dare look over here.
03:41By his own admission, that was very intentional on Hanare's part on that night.
03:46That loss aside, Hanare very well has a war against him here in Yuya Uemura who has had
03:52a breakout year so far, especially in this year's G1 Climax.
03:58Only four matches in and Yuya Uemura one of the hardest and most talked about men in B Block.
04:05Good for him.
04:06It's about time he did something with his life.
04:08A lot of frustration from Yuya Uemura regarding back-to-back losses and it's what he considers
04:13a second hometown of Fukuoka where he went to university.
04:16Uemura declared that he needs to face a man that you had your own personal run-in with,
04:20Hiroshi Tanahashi, in singles action to truly prove himself.
04:23A lot of people barking at the tree that is the Ace of the Universe, yourself included.
04:29The problem is with him where he talks all this smack and then does the same thing over
04:33and over again.
04:34This guy needs to learn.
04:35If you say he's been winning all his matches then he is learning but it depends if he can
04:39keep it up.
04:42He just got pushed back against the ropes so he needs to be better than that.
04:49First loss in a G1 Climax coming on night six.
04:52He's a man in Fukuoka losing out to Jeff Cobb.
04:5512 minutes 30 seconds he did not manage to put down the New Japan World Television Champion
05:00on that evening.
05:01Faces off against United Empire's Hinare here tonight.
05:04You have to know Jeff Cobb, Hinare talking strategy in that United Empire locker room
05:08about this battle against himself and Yuya Uemura.
05:14Look at these guys trying to be like me.
05:18Come on.
05:21Come on, give me some, kid.
05:24Well, Hinare says how dare you question my motto, question my strategy.
05:28Hinare says how dare you question my motto, question my spirit.
05:35Hinare going to want to take this one off the ropes.
05:37Keeping it at a frenetic pace.
05:38Hinare so comfortable there but Yuya Uemura gave it.
05:41It's been the fundamentals from Yuya Uemura that have been leading to win after win after
05:46win until he met up with Cobb in Fukuoka.
05:50Well, he's not going to do that to Jeff Cobb.
05:52Jeff Cobb about 130 kilos.
05:55But to be fair to him, he's not doing too bad right now.
05:58But it's not about how you start, it's about how you finish.
06:01So, I see a little bit more conviction from Yuya.
06:04Come on, show me a bit of spirit here.
06:06Hinare meeting Yuya Aida over here at the broadcast booth.
06:09Can't be focused on Yuya over here.
06:11Has to be focused on Yuya Uemura.
06:13Yeah, he don't dare look at me.
06:15That's what Uemura used to do.
06:17Chop right across the chest.
06:22Yeah, go on, man.
06:25Yeah!
06:29Yeah!
06:31Oh!
06:34Gabe, you've been on the other side of shots like that.
06:37Despite what you may say about Hinare, those do not feel good at all.
06:40Listen, I hate this guy with every fiber of my being.
06:43But this guy knocked me stone cold out with a slap.
06:46I'll never forget that.
06:48Neither will the New Japan World.
06:50What a disaster kick.
06:51Yuya Uemura out of the way.
06:53Huge headbutt shot.
06:58And Hinare manages to take down Yuya Uemura.
07:01Yuya facing his first loss against Jeff Cobb
07:03and does not want to keep that same energy going in here tonight.
07:08He needs to get up and smack Hinare in the face then.
07:11There's no point feeling nothing if you're not going to do anything about it.
07:15Look at him, cowering on the floor right now.
07:19Hinare not giving Yuya even an opportunity to breathe here,
07:22staying right on that attack.
07:24And that is what has made Hinare the never-openweight champion,
07:27managing to put down Shingo Takagi back at the start of the New Japan Soul Tour.
07:40That's more like it, go on.
07:42Yuya showing that spirit.
07:44And Hinare, a very different spirit of his own.
07:49How do you think one shot is just going to do something to Hinare?
07:52Hinare is a hard man, I'll give him that.
07:54But how are you going to give one shot and expect him to cower down after that?
07:58That's stupid from Yuya, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
08:01Now look at him, he's getting kicked in the corner.
08:05Very different ideas as to what intelligence in professional wrestling look like.
08:11Hinare has Yuya up on those shoulders,
08:13could be looking for that Mouty Drop instead.
08:15And brings it right down, Hino Saito-esque with that Senton.
08:21And into the cover here for Hinare to match Yuya in points.
08:25It is only two, and it is only two that Hinare is looking for here tonight
08:29in the point department to take him to six.
08:46He doesn't even dare look over here.
08:49He doesn't even dare.
08:59Yuya cannot allow Hinare to get inside his mind,
09:03and that is exactly what Hinare is looking to do here.
09:06You can't wait around when you're fighting this style.
09:08You can't wait for your opponent to do something.
09:10That's the mistake he just made there.
09:13Hinare going to make him pay for it with a Berserker Bomb,
09:15and instead Yuya battles out here.
09:17Ducks underneath, hey, rights and lefts, meets with a right of his own.
09:23I'm loving what we're seeing here.
09:24Once again, got it.
09:26Berserker Bomb, cover here for Hinare, and it's only two.
09:36Hinare, one of the toughest hitters,
09:38and one of the most stubborn men in professional wrestling.
09:40You know that yourself,
09:41having been in the ring with him time and time again.
09:43You know the battle that Yuya Uemura's up against.
09:47And he's fighting an uphill battle right now.
09:49He's not...
09:50He talks about loving Nujabah and all this spirit stuff.
09:54Where's that right now?
10:01No, you're not.
10:02All right.
10:04He's off with his head, Yuya Uemura.
10:07He's talking too much now and gets caught.
10:11Yuya!
10:24It's a long, long road for the remainder of G1 Climax that we have still to come.
10:30This is the halfway point following this match
10:32for everyone involved in G1 Climax.
10:35Yuya Uemura has to keep this onslaught going
10:38on the world heavyweight champion.
10:41And we'll say it here,
10:42Yuya Uemura managed to put down
10:43the global heavyweight champion,
10:44your boss, David Finlay.
10:46Shut up.
10:47We don't talk about that.
10:48Talk about that again,
10:49I'll give you a smack.
10:50Okay.
10:53But Yuya Uemura...
10:54Splash in the corner there.
10:55Now do something.
10:58He wants to stay on the attack here,
10:59and Hinare able to wear down Yuya quicker than quick.
11:02Holds on, wrist clutch,
11:03brought back up,
11:04back suplex,
11:05went down Hinare.
11:07Get the pin, get the pin.
11:08Yuya hooked in deep here on Hinare,
11:11and it's two.
11:15We're in the middle of the G1,
11:16this is where it counts,
11:17this is where it gets exciting now.
11:20This is where we see who's really made of it,
11:22everyone's hurting,
11:23everyone's sore,
11:24who's got the spirit to fight through.
11:26Yuya wants to beat one champion,
11:28go on to beat another one,
11:29go on to win the finals of G1 Climax.
11:32Will that be in the cards for Uemura?
11:34This may be up to the top crossbody.
11:36We saw this between Jeff Cobb and Uemura.
11:39Hinare learning a trick of the trade here
11:41in the United Empire Bank.
11:43Look at this.
11:45Wanted that Maori drop,
11:46and instead,
11:47Uemura right off those ropes,
11:49popped up,
11:50Maori drop.
11:57Popped up and a long way down for Yuya Uemura,
11:59what is Uemura going to have to do
12:01to get back into this fight?
12:02He needs to fight through whatever he's feeling right now.
12:04He just got dropped all on his ribs.
12:07He's feeling that in every part of his abdomen, boy.
12:09He needs to get up,
12:10he needs to fight through it.
12:11Go on, just sit there and feel sorry for yourself.
12:13Don't ever look in my direction again, Hinare.
12:16You little rat.
12:21Both of these men
12:23need to fight through whatever they're feeling right now.
12:26Get at it.
12:28Who wants it?
12:33I think it's time that we find out.
12:34There you go.
12:36Show us then.
12:42Uemura has to avoid all distractions.
12:45All thoughts about upcoming Block B opponents,
12:47all thoughts of Tanahashi,
12:49it is only Uemura,
12:50it is only Hinare,
12:51and it's rights and rights being thrown.
12:59Here in every single one of them shots right now,
13:01that's what I like.
13:02It's my kind of stuff.
13:08Oh, look.
13:09Copying me.
13:12All these guys.
13:13Come on.
13:14There's a recipe for success.
13:15Yeah.
13:16That's it.
13:17That's more like it.
13:18Go on.
13:19Don't stop.
13:20Go on.
13:21Oh, Yuya.
13:22Yuya might be fainting here
13:23following that last shot from Hinare.
13:26Shot.
13:27Oh.
13:30Right to the heart that one was.
13:32Look, he's feeling that right in his heart.
13:35Shots like that have ended careers.
13:36They've ended lives, Gabe.
13:53Yuya's got these people behind him.
13:54He's got to go.
13:55He's got to let it off.
13:56He's got to empty the clip.
13:59The people can change their direction.
14:01Yuya Uemura is changing his career's direction
14:04throughout the early goings of this G1.
14:09Oh.
14:10Huge shot to the liver.
14:12This one might be academic from here.
14:16Let me tell you,
14:17that shuts down your body.
14:18When he hits you with that,
14:19that shuts down.
14:20You can't prepare for that.
14:25But that's where you,
14:26you've got to fight through.
14:27You've got to show it.
14:28Come on.
14:29Gabe.
14:35But Hinare's got to finish it.
14:36He's got him right there.
14:37Oh, Uemura.
14:38Taking too much time.
14:40Yeah, managed to catch out Hinare.
14:41You're right about that.
14:42Took way too much time,
14:43and Uemura caught him.
14:45Oh, trying to influence that Tanahashi style.
14:48Wanted that dragon suplex,
14:49and instead that full Nelson.
14:51Hinare wants Ultima.
14:55Uemura, beat for beat here.
14:57Wants that dragon German combination.
15:01And Hinare will not go down.
15:03Lariat flattens down the Heat Storm.
15:07And a cold wind's going to blow here tonight.
15:09And Yamaguchi.
15:11He's gone.
15:12A cover.
15:13Hinare.
15:14Oh, snap.
15:17Yes, you've got to go.
15:18Wants it one more time.
15:20Up and down.
15:21Drop kick.
15:24Uemura.
15:25Uemura.
15:26Uemura.
15:27Uemura.
15:28Uemura.
15:29Uemura.
15:30Uemura.
15:31Uemura.
15:32Uemura.
15:33Uemura.
15:35Out of a lot of the young talent in New Japan Pro Wrestling,
15:38Yuya Uemura finds himself much more accustomed
15:40to wrestling a long style of matchup.
15:42The energy is there.
15:43The stamina is there.
15:45Is Hinare able to keep up from this point going forward?
15:49Yuya.
15:50Uemura.
15:51Uemura.
15:53We're going to find out right here.
15:54Uemura.
15:55From the top.
15:56Cross body.
15:57Takes down the never champion.
15:58Cover here.
15:59Two.
16:05You've got to go now.
16:06You've got to go now.
16:07Hey, I heard you say it.
16:08Oh, snap.
16:09Hey, look at the snap.
16:10The explosion on that.
16:11That's what you've got to do.
16:12That's what he needs.
16:13Wants it.
16:14High.
16:15Oh, no.
16:17And that's his ribs again.
16:18He's already been landed on on the ribs.
16:20That's knees straight into the ribs.
16:23He can't breathe right now.
16:24No, not at all.
16:25He's sucking wind.
16:26He's sucking wind.
16:27That might be a lesson right there to Yuya Uemura
16:28to stick to what you know best.
16:30We've seen that high fly flow,
16:31that dragon suplex,
16:32a little bit throughout this G1 so far.
16:34But it's going to take something different
16:36that Hinare has not felt before
16:38to put down the never open weight champion.
16:41Hinare got to go.
16:43He can't take too much time
16:44and he's taking a lot of it here.
16:47What did we say?
16:49Oh.
16:50And the native knee.
16:51That could have been a knockout shot to the heat storm.
16:58Hinare, the streets.
17:00Oh, no.
17:01Uemura.
17:03And it's German suplex.
17:04Shoulders down here.
17:05Hitting attempt two.
17:18Performance after performance
17:20from Yuya Uemura in G1 Climax
17:22where if this man did not have your respect
17:24from the beginning,
17:25he surely has to now.
17:30And Uemura has that double overhook.
17:32Wants that Kanu Ki deadbolt suplex incoming.
17:36No, he's got to use his head here.
17:37Literally.
17:38It's right there.
17:41He's driving Uemura into the corner.
17:43Uemura's going to have to drive him back to the center.
17:46Find any distance here to plant down the champion.
17:51And Hinare.
17:55Distance can be a blessing
17:56and Uemura could not close it as well.
18:01And Pele kick.
18:03He didn't catch all of it there.
18:04He got him on the shoulder there.
18:05Yeah, only on the shoulder,
18:06but it was enough to rock Hinare.
18:08Hold on, hold on.
18:12Uemura.
18:13It's a rampage
18:15from the never champion.
18:17Cover here.
18:19No.
18:22He wasn't moving.
18:23He wasn't moving during that pin.
18:26He's barely moving now.
18:27You see the chest moving up and down.
18:29At least he's still breathing.
18:31He's feeling that all up in his ribs.
18:33Sucking wind right now is Yuya Uemura.
18:36And it's going to be Streets of Rage.
18:38No, no, no, no.
18:39Dragon suplex.
18:43No.
18:45And that could be his mistake.
18:46He's trying to do Tanahashi moves.
18:47Why is he trying to do that?
18:48Tanahashi ain't in the G1.
18:50Hinare is and he's in the ring with him right now.
18:52So why is he focusing on Tanahashi?
18:54That could cost him easily.
18:57That influence could be what cost Yuya Uemura.
18:59It could be what allows him to soar to the top.
19:03And already standing at the top,
19:04but to set yourself apart from the rest.
19:06Deadbolt Hinare.
19:09No.
19:12Oh, snap.
19:15Oh, snap.
19:17Oh.
19:18He might be knocked out cold.
19:19Hammer headshot from the never-open-weight champion.
19:22Bloody Nora.
19:24Oh, snap.
19:25Oh, no, no, no.
19:26Oh, my God.
19:27That's it. He's done it.
19:28He's done it.
19:35What did I say?
19:36He was too busy thinking about Tanahashi.
19:38Why is he thinking about Tanahashi?
19:41Why is he thinking about Tanahashi?
19:42Because he doesn't have it yet.
19:44He hasn't got the brains.
19:47Better luck next time, kid.
20:02Yuya Uemura walked into Block B
20:04wanting that champion's clean sweep.
20:06And while he may have put down David Finlay,
20:08he could not put down the world TV champion in Jeff Cobb.
20:11He could not put down the never-open-weight champion
20:14in Hinare.
20:16Here's the thing.
20:17I lived with Yuya for three years.
20:19We was in the dojo together.
20:21This guy lets the pressure get to him.
20:23You can't let the...
20:24This is the biggest stage.
20:25This is the Champions League.
20:26You can't let that pressure get to you.
20:28And that is exactly what we just seen right there.
20:32Let the pressure got to him and he lost.
20:36What did I say?
20:37It's not about how you start.
20:38It's about how you finish.
20:39It doesn't matter.
20:42How many people have won their first four
20:44and then gone on and not made the finals?
20:47You're right.
20:48It's the Champions League.
20:49It's the hardest.
20:53Only the strong survive.
21:05Now the brackets currently stand.
21:07Hinare, six points on the board.
21:10Come on then.
21:11I'll come and take that from you anytime I want.
21:13Anytime I want, I'll take that from you.
21:17I don't care about America.
21:18We're in Japan right now.
21:19I'll take that from you.
21:21I'll take that from you.
21:23I'll never forget what you did to me, you little rat.
21:30We try and find some semblance of reason.
21:33It's coming up next, folks.
21:34Yuya Omura, El Phantasmo.
21:36Next time we join you for Block B action on August 4th.
21:41And Hinare has a tough, tough test to come
21:44as United Empire implodes for the day.
21:46It will be Hinare taking on Jeff Cobb one-on-one
21:50August 4th in Block B.
