00:00Oh, here we go.
00:06Naito's tournament might be over.
00:12Yeah, I see you jamming out.
00:36Game kid walks in tonight, your reigning defending New Japan strong open weight champion
00:47to face off against one of the top title holders in New Japan Pro Wrestling overall and a man
00:53who has had a rocky start to G1 Climax 34 this year.
00:54There was an article published in Tokyo Sports and been republished all across New Japan
00:55Pro Wrestling social media.
00:56Gabe Kidd had some strong, strong words for the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, Eric
01:10Gobernatore himself.
01:11Tetsuya Naito, I know that you know Gabe Kidd very well, one of the top members of the
01:16docs for real.
01:17Kidd is fired up for this match tonight beyond any, any expectation you could have had.
01:25Here's the thing, I recruited all my boys in the Bullet Club because I saw them as weapons
01:29I can use.
01:30Gabe Kidd is my strongest weapon, without a doubt.

04:25Gabe Kidd!
04:26Gabe Kidd!
04:27Gabe Kidd!
04:28I
04:39Don't know if you noticed this, but Naito's wearing white boots and he's wearing a black belt. That was an amateur move
04:46Boots always match the shoes. Yeah, unless you're poor a
04:50A
04:54Lot of words being shared
04:56about this matchup and truly only on one side of the playing field Tetsuya Naito as always keeping things
05:02Tranquilo and just as always gave kid everything to say and more
05:07Not a man that you can limit the speech of whatsoever escape kid
05:12Said in an interview recently
05:15Everyone can see what's right in front of them that I am the biggest star in this company that it has or will ever have
05:22Everyone can see that except one man except Tetsuya Naito
05:27And this might have been shot to the ocular
05:30Issues that Naito has had in his career the eye issues that will eventually put him out of action one day that degenerative eye disability
05:37Is googly eye?
05:40Ophthalmoplagia
05:43What'd you just call me that is
05:45Not an insult. That is the
05:47Issue with Tetsuya Naito's eye. It's the muscle paralysis of the road. That's the scientific name for having a googly eye
06:00Why is Naito got Mexican colors when he's
06:04Japanese or maybe that's Italian colors. Maybe he's a big fan of Akira, which I don't think anybody is actually
06:13Gobernable
06:14The day is long
06:16Tetsuya Naito and gave kids saying himself in the corner taking a look over at you can't be distracted at the fact that you're
06:22Here to ringside, but that distraction has been a thing for kid kid in his career so far
06:27Never able to keep a strong focus on anything picking a fight everywhere. He can't well, he's all gas. No brakes. What do you expect?
06:35He's a madman. He's my mad dog. There's a reason why he's my number one weapon
06:39If I say go if I say attack he does exactly that
06:48Suck a big war dogs town
06:53These people love us because we bled for 64 minutes straight inside of a steel cage
06:59Which I walked out victorious
07:02These people look at me as a legend
07:06Yeah, of course he's scared
07:09Of course, he's scared
07:11Roll the tape on his knees
07:13Those knees and the eye as well subject of conversation for game kids
07:19Those knees are gonna be the target in this matchup
07:22Set in postmatch comments Tetsuya Naito needs to take a damn vacation. I'm gonna break his legs in half
07:28And Naito is really gonna have to be careful. So as kid we cannot risk a disqualification in this match David
07:39Referee can't decide so far from it and once again push down a game kid
07:47There's an element I believe in in regard to fighting fire with fire
07:50Naito not above spitting in the face of his opponents and Gabe kid keeping right on the attack here just to say yeah
07:56I'm a fan of spitting. Thank you. God
07:59Set right into the barricades here at ringside strong start at a board game kid at a boy
08:05Take my time with this shit. This is only a kid talk before I'm embarrassed
08:10I'm embarrassed that I'm the top wrestler and strong that Naito is the top wrestler by WGP and that we're not
08:16Competing in the main event here tonight
08:18There you go and block a there you go. Hey, give me one. Give me one. That's you all day, baby
08:25Take your time you're in control
08:28And Gabe kid
08:32Hey you like that
08:34That's good
08:37You want one you want to give me one come on make him give me one
08:42Amidst a block a action here David
08:46Why you can't tap me up
08:49The top champion in this company you should show me respect Tetsuya Naito will happen to feel otherwise
08:59Shopped right to the chest of Naito
09:01And
09:03He's already called his game plan from the beginning kid said that he's gonna be targeting the news
09:07It's gonna be targeting the legs now whether he sticks six sticks to that point or not
09:12Is to be determined but there's not gonna be any rolling out of the ring like this
09:16If you can't can stay on top
09:32Naito
09:33first time singles match between these two Naito and
09:37It's tranquilo for Ellen gobernable
09:41Do you notice he tripped as he went to roll? I?
09:45Noticed that because I have a keen eyes of these things. I mean we'll say this
09:49He's been off his game a little bit in this year's g1
09:52It struggled a lot to hit some of his most signature maneuvers that we've seen Naito make a damn career
10:01Neckbreaker being one of them hits flesh on kid
10:04If you held together by tape
10:06Wrestling becomes very hard Naito will not let it go as it's in for the one count on kid
10:12Naito's inability and gave kids mine to step out of the way of the new generation of the people who lead like yourself as
10:19Global heavyweight champion believes that Naito should step out of the way. Hey, it does if you can't hit destino anymore
10:25Maybe it's time to lace the boots up or hang them up on the shelf
10:31To be taken out like
10:39Gabe walks in with a plan to do so here
10:42Says this will be unlike any other night
10:44Don't match of the tournament one of the harder hitting ones and it's already proven to be so out of the way here is
10:48Gay kid and up down huge scoop slam lands on that left shoulder does Tetsuya Naito
10:56Yeah, nobody hits harder than Gabe
10:59Nobody in this tournament nobody in this company nobody in this industry
11:07And I am pound-for-pound the strongest easily so, you know war dogs looking great
11:14Call the war dogs
11:16weapons for your own
11:17Choice your own volition any destruction
11:21Game kid is gonna be the man to dish it out if you don't want
11:25If you're not in block a so there's only one option to be able to take out Naito here
11:29And we're staring at it right in the face kid want to take this one to ringside
11:36We're taking this all throughout the arena first time in Yamato arena we may not be asked back by this
11:47Kid be careful here
11:54You're right
12:11Best shape that he's ever been in in his career has never held a more prestigious title than the New Japan strong openweight
12:18championship in his career
12:20And you know why you know why because I'm a selfless leader. I gave him that opportunity. He was wasting away
12:27With Shabbat, uh, nobody saw anything
12:35Now look at where we're at so you're in a half later, you're saying you made kid kid
12:38I made Gabe kid I gave Gabe kid all the opportunities that he's had
12:43Because I saw the potential in Gabe kid that nobody else saw
12:46We'll call it as we see it game kid has the most potential in the world, but he has to keep his feelings
12:52He has to keep it the motions under control here
12:54Can't decide those trying to wave this off and Gabe kid might play it down night time
13:03And night Oh since Gabe kid like a bowling ball through the pins it's a strike for night
13:16I
13:21Seen Gabe kid be one of the most brutal one of the most destructive members of the war dogs overall
13:26You say that nobody hits harder and it's been proven time to time again
13:31You talked about Osaka being the site of that 64-minute steel cage match Gabe kid nearly ended an Ari's career during that point
13:43Here's the thing Gabe understands my vision of pro-wrestling
13:46These days it's over corporate ties. Everyone's trying to please sponsors. We started off
13:52fighting
13:53Fighting in the muck fighting in the dirt
13:56Getting all bloodied up
13:59For pints of beer
14:12Good god, that was a hard one for Jake
14:17And laying in the destruction that he caused Gabe kid on the outside of this ring and Naito has not done enough
14:32Keep in mind where the points live folks Gabe kid
14:36Get it together. Gabe. Come on g1 climax ended right before the conclusion of this one
14:42Gabe kid would already have secured his spot in the playoffs
14:46At a boy had a boy
14:49At a boy. Hey, you're good. You're good. Take a breather. You're good. You got it
14:57Okay, you need water I
15:01Got you, baby, I got you
15:03Help here being done. Yeah, there you go. There you go
15:07Gabe kid. Oh, come on
15:10I
15:15Keep it cold for you
15:22Disrespect for Gabe kid the Tetsuya Naito wants to put him down for good. This could be the moment and it's only to
15:29Get full mouth positioning you little fucker your time is done
15:33Oh, your time is finished tell him this is my time now
15:53Trying to keep that from happening. Yeah, the ref is supposed to be unbiased
15:57There's a difference between trying to win a match and trying to end a man's entire livelihood. No, there's not
16:05If there is you're doing it wrong
16:15Directly in the spine of Tetsuya Naito
16:18Ask him what's the
16:24What's what Naito down the same way that he puts down just days ago
16:32Anybody anybody that has come to Japan dojo
16:36That is the first move that they teach you. Yeah, it's a young boy the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion and most people
16:47Oh
16:51And that was a
16:53Attempted decino out of nowhere and Naito did not manage to land all of it on kid and that just goes to show
17:00Naito's best shots that he has usually had in his arsenal are not as effective in
17:05G134 as they might have been in g128. Yeah, the old dog still got a little bit of fight on him
17:18Still can't capitalize
17:20You're right about that. Yeah, Gabe's got it the shot only for separation
17:25There is no cover that is able to be made by this point for the World Heavyweight Champion. The gas tank is running empty
17:33Naito has merely been surviving this game kid has been all
17:48And it's kid full steam ahead Naito made it in tranquilo up over the top
17:56Kid one of that Lariat watch out for Naito sweeps the legs and it's face first
18:04And these sudden shots could be the undoing of the strong open weight champion
18:09I
18:16Told up on that middle rope once it got it Esperanza out of the corner
18:29Looking to the eyes of Tetsuya Naito and for as much as this man knows what he's doing inside that ring
18:35The lights might be on but is anyone home usually not
18:40As Gabe says he's got one eye on Hiroshima and the other on what is it Tokyo?
18:51Saito suplex Naito right down on his neck
18:56And into the cover hooks in deep does kid can he do it?
19:01No, just goes to show you what never fails to work is a good old-fashioned punch in the teeth, right?
19:09I
19:11Went 30 seconds ago to
19:14Naito looking like he's had his wits about him gave kid completely knocking them out of the world heavyweight champion
19:20But kid has to get right back on the attack the sense of urgency has got to be there
19:23You really thought night to look like it is what's about for what little there could be left right now after a bull award
19:29He's gone through with stretch Walker. That's a stretch. Hey, we're going as we see it. That is not what I saw
19:39Right
19:57So trying to ground himself here the great way to break up that weight
20:01Oh
20:05Naito
20:06Kid got it back with the right
20:09He got him. No one of that madman bomb and instead Naito hurricane run out
20:15Manhattan drop Naito Naito wearing down that neck once that destiny
20:20No, it is the last-ditch shot to put down kid for good
20:32Oh
20:42That was a quick count by cancer you saw that right that was a quick count
20:52Okay, that was a fast count Gabe's got to be feeling that same way as if this one was stolen from a bit
20:57Tetsuya Naito
20:58An absolute victory here tonight sprawled off all over the Japanese broadcast the world heavyweight champion got the win
21:24Gabe was kicking Naito's ass for 95% of that match
21:29Right 95% I'm not really think Naito's walking out the winner. Yeah, he's got two points
21:39What the hell kid come on, there you go have a little bit of decorum
21:47It is the form
21:50Redecorating is what it is and it's uncalled for
21:53Gabe kid, I understand the frustration
21:56But I mean that frustrations got to be channeled just coming up next kid takes on Jake Lee and block a
22:17Nigel doesn't even know he can go to the back now
22:23I
22:30Am as the other direction
22:37Okay, the ref was on your side the ref was on your side
22:44And the reference here suck anyways, all right
22:48Uno's the worst common ground unbiased
22:52You found between the global and world heavyweight champions in New Japan for wrestling folks a big three here tonight
22:58For Tetsuya Naito has now for the time being
23:02And if my tie-ups are correct
23:05Officially knocked Gabe kid out of playoff contention now, that is just for the time being points always can't change
23:12We are just a little over halfway through the entirety of this tournament and we have much much more to go
23:19Oh
23:21Tetsuya Naito six points for the IWGP
23:29Naito takes on Shota Umino August 6th in block a it's speaking of Shota Umino
23:37It's coming up right now
23:40Six points on the board
23:42Can he pick up a victory over Naito's most recent victory beyond kid Shota Umino
23:48Sonata block a coming up right now in our semi-main event
