04:00After a fierce battle...
04:06I remember the loss you gave me in the G1.
04:08It's surely not you, Goto.
04:11The champion, David Finlay!
04:16The IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Goto Hirooki!
04:28I will take revenge on Goto!
04:31Because...
04:33The IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, Goto!
04:38And today's special tag match...
04:44The 56-year-old is still burning with passion in his heart!
04:52The 40th anniversary of Wrestling Life,
04:54Nagata Yuji Produces,
04:56Blue Justice 14, Seigi Shuen!
05:13Nice to meet you!
05:15Nice to meet you too!
05:4465cm, 87kg, Murashiro Tatsuya!
05:5275cm, 120kg, Burst, Boltin Oleg!
06:14You think a little bit of...
06:16Bad G1 blood coming out in this six-man tag,
06:19albeit two tag team partners with Boltin and Yano.
06:32There's gonna be a lot of blood...
06:35kept inside the body in this match-up.
06:39But Toyano's got a lot of blood, Gouka.
06:42It's 100% proof.
06:48We're gonna see more bad blood between our young lions
06:52on opposite sides, debut generation.
07:04How far have we got yet?
07:07837 minutes to over, it is.
07:10It's pretty much quite walking.
07:16Walker has got a cow pelt.
07:20We're out in it!
07:23How are we walking here?
07:25We're out there today, here in Togane.
07:27What a great little town.
07:30Big parades going on today all the way through Togane,
07:33celebrating Yuji Nagata's big event.
07:36Chris, I heard you picked up a super Famicom floppy disk.
07:40They've got the latest technology.
07:43Walker, I don't know where you got this idea from.
07:46No longer do the people of Togane fear electricity,
07:49they only regard it with slight suspicion.
07:59Here we go, I told you!
08:01Things are gonna be a bit more friendly between
08:04Torayano and Bolton Oleg than our young lions
08:07on opposite sides of the playing field.
08:09Bolton sent Torayano crashing out the G1.
08:12All the sponsorship money Torayano could have gotten
08:15during the G1 season.
08:17There's always lost opportunity at every step of the case
08:20with Torayano.
08:24Let's cut to the chase, no doubt about it,
08:27Torayano, one of the greatest amateur wrestlers
08:30in the stages of a New Japan Pro Wrestling Ring,
08:32even if we do not see those methods more so recently
08:36than we have before.
08:37Yeah, I think Bolton Oleg really blows pretty much
08:41almost everybody out the water on the mats.
08:45And he's been, you know, you notice he's almost been
08:48taking the lead of this never-opening six-man
08:50Tag Team Championship team,
08:53who retained their titles in Kobe just last week.
08:56Yep, right about that.
08:58A very successful defense against House of Torture.
09:00And speaking of House of Torture,
09:02coming up King of Pro Wrestling 2024,
09:04Hiroshi Tanahashi will celebrate his own anniversary,
09:0725 years in professional wrestling
09:09for the Ace of the Universe.
09:11It will be Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shoto Umino and El Phantasmo
09:14against, once again, House of Torture.
09:16Hontai House of Torture rolls on, Chris.
09:18It does indeed.
09:19They've got to put a stop to that.
09:23Interesting to see Daiki Nagai
09:26kind of a seismic match, I think.
09:28Daiki Nagai is trending junior heavyweight.
09:30Oh, he's trending, getting whipped into the turnbuckle.
09:35Look, it does look painful.
09:37I think, Woko, one thing that just struck me,
09:40is this going to be, if this goes to a result,
09:43the first win for either Yasuda or Daiki Nagai?
09:47I think it is.
09:48There is potential for that, yes.
09:50How much time we got in the block?
09:5215, 20?
09:53Yeah, I mean, like, one of these two guys
09:55directly or not, is going to come away with a hand raise
09:58for the first time tonight.
09:59There's nothing wrong with that.
10:02Definitely something you want to hope for.
10:05As these two, Masato Yasuda, Daiki Nagai, going at it.
10:09Once again, Yasuda off those ropes.
10:11Big shoulder tackle from the second generation star.
10:15This is one of those things,
10:16they've definitely got the fire, have both of those men.
10:19I mean, if I...
10:21It's so hard at this point,
10:22which one do you give the upper hand to?
10:24I think Daiki Nagai's got
10:25a little bit more of a killer instinct,
10:27it feels to me, perhaps.
10:29We've seen so many singles matches
10:30between the two of them,
10:31and yet we've yet to walk away with a true victor.
10:35Throughout the same camp, he said,
10:37Shomakato Katsuyama Orochima.
10:39I think this is...
10:41As they do this tour, they're starting to wrestle.
10:44Look out.
10:45Cover here for Kato, and it's two.
10:47Nagai and Yasuda are starting to wrestle their senpai
10:49a little bit more.
10:51And the one thing you're seeing
10:52is that size disparity.
10:54I think there is something,
10:55or part of being in the dojo
10:57is just eating and eating and eating
10:59and getting bigger, getting bigger, getting bigger.
11:04Fond on that acquisition of mass.
11:06Orochima's put on a lot of size as of recent
11:08over the past calendar year.
11:10Yeah, good size.
11:11Good size for Kato as well.
11:14As Daiki Nagai tries his might to make it to that bottom rope,
11:17single leg grab locked in,
11:19he hangs on to that bottom for dear life.
11:23How about the news this week, Walker,
11:24that Josh Barnett dropping by the Nogei Dojo
11:27through the month of October.
11:28How about that?
11:29They're going to be teaching them...
11:30Well, talk about the school of hard knocks.
11:32Yeah.
11:33Well, you know, it's interesting, Josh Barnett,
11:34and this timing with the Yuji Nagata event.
11:36You and I went a bit of a blast from the past.
11:38Yes.
11:39Josh Barnett's first ever professional matchup
11:41against Yuji Nagata,
11:42and now Barnett making his way to the Nogei Dojo
11:44as a guest coach.
11:45Yeah, probably at the invitation of Nagata, I assume.
11:48I wouldn't shock me whatsoever.
11:50Yeah.
11:51I had a chat with Calum Newman earlier on in the week,
11:53and the people in the office were like,
11:55so Calum, are you going to the Dojo on Monday?
11:57He was like, if not...
11:59No way.
12:02Yeah, Josh Barnett is going to be the one
12:04to put him through the ringer,
12:05but there's no doubt about it,
12:07will make your athletes better,
12:08and these athletes are going to get better and better
12:10as time goes on.
12:11Here's Morishima, here's Shomakata.
12:15And Toriyama wants none of Morishima right now.
12:19They're coming.
12:20Ooh, I like it.
12:21Yep.
12:22Big old snap coming,
12:23a little bit like a bull in a china shop,
12:25is Morishima.
12:29It seems like we've seen him get bigger,
12:31and it seems the more size he's gotten,
12:32the more confident he's gotten in the ring as well,
12:34in my opinion.
12:35Bigger body, bigger personality,
12:37huge bounce there off the shot.
12:39Morishima into the cover,
12:41and it's two.
12:45Every passing day goes by,
12:46you see a lot more promise come out of Katya Morishima,
12:48and a lot of promises being made,
12:50saying that he will make his way
12:51to the top of New Japan one day.
12:53However, we're a long way off from that
12:55with these young lions.
12:56Yeah, you're exactly right there.
12:58It's every little bit of ring time,
13:02every little victory,
13:04which from these sides we'll get here in our opener.
13:07I think that there's something to be said, too,
13:09about Bolton Oleg at ringside,
13:11going straight from young lion to never open weight,
13:13six-man tag team,
13:15champion.
13:16That's motivation for guys like Nagai,
13:17like Kato, like Morishima.
13:19Yeah, that's the mark.
13:20That's what they have to compete against.
13:22He's becoming a champion while still in those black tights.
13:25Here comes Yasuda.
13:26Bolton's a special talent.
13:28We're going to see that special talent
13:29make his way to ringside.
13:40Yasuda giving it up in the size department,
13:43and not going to be able to out-technique
13:45Bolton Oleg here.
13:49Not going to out-lift Bolton Oleg either.
13:52I don't think anyone else could out-lift.
13:54How about out-flying?
13:55No, he's going to readjust.
13:57Keep Yasuda right there,
13:59and one more time.
14:01The flying body sausage.
14:02Cover here for Oleg, and it's two.
14:08Here we go.
14:09I love this one.
14:11It's count.
14:20Yano interrupted it.
14:25Huge shot there for Kato.
14:26Brought up down.
14:28Manhattan drop for Yano,
14:29and a beautiful drop kick from Asato to Yasuda.
14:36Yano leaves it up to our young Lions
14:38to try and disengage Bolton Oleg tonight.
14:41Cover for Yasuda, and it's two.
14:44How about that?
14:48Interesting to see all the delegates.
14:50We had the mayor of the city coming out
14:53before the show started.
14:54I'm looking out over to my right.
14:56I see Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan,
14:58the Japanese guests on commentary tonight.
15:00Oh, my goodness.
15:01Holy cow.
15:03Oh, my God.
15:04Massive gut-wrench suplex to Asato to Yasuda.
15:07And Yasuda could be in for a long one here tonight.
15:12Maybe not much longer, the walker.
15:13Nope.
15:14Boston Crab sat down deep.
15:16Not much longer at all.
15:17Oh, his feet are going to touch his head.
15:19That's it.
15:20And Yasuda taps.
15:21This match is over.
15:37Well, that means first time in the win column.
15:53Does it not, Walker, for young Daiki Nagai, I believe?
15:56I believe so.
15:57Congratulations.
16:00And I'm sure he wanted to be more directly involved,
16:03especially with Yasuda in that finish,
16:06but that's got to feel good for Daiki Nagai.
16:18Get your hands off me.
16:27Well, folks, we've got a list full of matches here tonight,
16:31and they will be taking place throughout our celebration
16:35Wrestling Life 40th anniversary.
16:37Blue Justice 14.
16:39A lot of words, a lot of matches, and they all come here tonight.
16:42Main event, though, I got to tell you, Chris,
16:44I'm incredibly excited to see Jun Akiyama return to New Japan
16:47for a wrestling.
16:48It's going to be great.
