00:00Well, the reason why I'm in smoke going into the lead for this, I'm talking to Jose Fuchter.
00:21This is a battle at two points.
00:23Jose Fuchter alone ends the league tonight at the very, very top of A block.
00:29What is certain, or what remains uncertain, is who will be the top point scorer in the block after all is said and done.
00:40And Francesco Ica has every intention of it being him.
00:47Carries a whole lot of passion, a whole lot of drive and a whole lot of inspiration.
00:55From his family at home in Italy, to his fans here in Japan, to the man who brought him here to Japan in Tajiri.
01:13And the expectations and the hopes of the United Empire in his corner here tonight.
01:18Jacob Austin Young and the sensational color of human.
01:23Francesco Ica has a lot of inspirations and a lot of expectations.
01:29And tonight seeks to live up to them against Hiromu Takahashi.
01:52Hiromu Takahashi certainly knows how to deal with the weight of expectations.
02:22And the weight of big pressure, big match situations.
02:26Four times best in the Super Junior trophy winner.
02:30The winningest competitor in this tournament.
02:38But never perhaps more beatable than he is right now.
02:51Akira has the United Empire in his corner.
02:55Hiromu Takahashi may hear the call for the first time in his career unaffiliated.
03:09That doesn't mean that Los Ingobernables de Japón were always in Hiromu Takahashi's corner in person.
03:16In fact, they often relished and enjoyed leaving him hung out to dry.
03:23But these fractional bonds often helped Hiromu in the mental.
03:32And Akira knows he's Hiromu here.
03:43Akira's mental might be stronger than it's ever been in his career.
03:47We're going to be starting hard and fast here.
03:52These two have only faced off once before in best of the Super Junior action.
03:57That was during Akira's debut year in 2022.
04:01Hiromu victorious.
04:02Oh, and the full on charge.
04:05He wants to keep going.
04:07Akira does keep going though.
04:08Tejeras has taken Hiromu only briefly to the sanctity of the floor.
04:15Not safe at all though.
04:17Planche from the Italian.
04:21You see.
04:27Kato Kahn over on Japanese commentary for this matchup.
04:31Cal Newman, Jacob Asin Young in the corner.
04:35Akira full of confidence.
04:37Asking fans to take a picture.
04:40Make it last.
04:43It almost feels.
04:45And look at this.
04:47The attitude, the swagger, getting the fans out of the way on ringside.
04:51Going to take Hiromu.
04:52Going to go bowling here.
04:53Look out.
04:54Look out.
04:55Look out.
04:56Oh!
04:57Oh!
04:58Oh!
04:59Oh!
05:00Oh!
05:01Oh!
05:02Oh!
05:03Oh!
05:04Oh!
05:05Oh!
05:06Oh!
05:07Oh!
05:08Oh!
05:09Oh!
05:10Oh!
05:12Oh!
05:13Oh!
05:14Oh!
05:15Oh!
05:20It feels like ever since anniversary back in March,
05:24ever since Akira had his first challenge to Earl Desperado,
05:28his first challenge to the IWGP Junior Breath Championship.
05:31Yes, unsuccessful.
05:34But it gave another level to Akira as a competitor.
05:40Speaking of another level, I'm getting another level of crazy here.
05:44Hiromi, whoa, trying to stand up out of his seat and got rocked.
05:52Hiromi's stunned here and Akira is going to build up an awful long run up.
06:02Hiromi's still seeing stars, sat on this chair here at ringside.
06:07Full head of steam, fuller and fuller, Hiromi, oh my god, good god.
06:13I don't know if the microphone picked it up but I echo Karin's thoughts entirely.
06:30That was a sickening, sickening impact.
06:34And for all of us talking about the mental wherewithal of Francesco Akira heading into
06:44this belt, well forget about confidence, that is going to break, if it only broke Francesco
06:53Akira's confidence, we'd be incredibly lucky.
06:59And now Hiromi's going to unleash some aggression.
07:20Now Hiromi, very often, fun loving, happy go lucky, with a psychotic side.
07:35Hiromi Takahashi has been awakened.
07:41Well beaten by a punk yesterday in one main event and would not take kindly to a defeat
07:53from another yet to see his late 20s in Akira.
08:04Just like we saw yesterday, brutal thuds, the smacks, the chops, and Hiromi is in full
08:19control.
08:26And for the benefit of those with flash photography, Hiromi letting Akira hang out to dry.
08:47Akira Akira is not long for this matchup.
08:59And ever since that front suplex into all of those chairs, Hiromi has been focused on
09:08the neck, focused on the back, wrenching it back here with a camel crotch.
09:13Oh, and that is in deep, that is in deep.
09:25And Akira just barely in the ropes.
09:36And Akira saying in his backstage comments yesterday that he can sympathize with the
09:43position Hiromi Takahashi is in.
09:46Just like Akira saw Roy Ospreay and Jeff Cobb leave United Empire, Hiromi has seen Tetsuya
09:57Naito and Ibushi leave LIJ, the dissolution of that faction along with it.
10:02Job can go down, down to the knees, and while this might be done already, Akira knows, he
10:08knows very well, full well, how dangerous that maximum, the holding, is.
10:15He's felt that before.
10:20And Hiromi, oh my goodness, Akira just about saving his own skin as he hung on to the top
10:26rope there, and maybe not for long.
10:29Oh, over the top.
10:32Another move out of self-preservation.
10:40Akira now finally has a little bit of time to regain some composure.
10:59Akira now with the reversal, now starting to get moving, oh, and making it pay off for
11:13him, making it pay off for him.
11:15And now for the second time this matchup, Hiromi seeks sanctity on the floor, second
11:22time this matchup.
11:24Akira got a fly that time, so paid, can't heal it.
11:33And now drawing on the inspiration from the crowd here.
11:54Up high, Italian press, cover, and he gets two.
12:06And almost, you see a shake of the head from Akira, almost out of disappointment at the
12:24support that Hiromi Takahashi is getting.
12:26It won't be, almost academic, it could be it, speed fight, does not, Hiromi hoists him
12:33up, over we go, Falcon out.
12:37Oh, there it is.
12:40Yeah, Hiromi Takahashi.
12:43Oh, time might be running out for Akira, as Hiromi looked for that corner DVD.
13:10Akira knows how dangerous it is, kicked him away.
13:21Watch out now, the higher they go, the higher the level of danger, the higher they go, the
13:27harder they'll fall.
13:30And it feels both men are fighting over a potential superplex, and thankfully, Akira
13:41worked his way free.
13:43Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, watch out here, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out,
13:48oh no, oh no, caught him.
13:52The super tie bomb, super tie bomb cover.
14:09Incredibly, the 10 minute call has only just come, it feels like lifetimes of damage incurred
14:16by both men.
14:19But it's Hiromi in the plus position.
14:31Hiromi looking to take Akira for the ride, it is Akira shaking his head, no, no.
14:39Regardless, one of the tie bombs denied, oh, nice thrust kick there, keep your eyes on
14:52Akira, keep your eyes on Hiromi.
14:55Lights out.
14:58Flush on the jaw was that one, no answer for Akira, the time, wait, wait a second, didn't
15:10get any of it, got hold of that one though, poison liner.
15:14Oh, and like rising from the depths, but Akira won't be denied, what a lariat.
15:28We're rocking and rolling here.
15:41A bell at two points, the best in Super Junior 32, this is your main event in E-Block.
15:47Francesco Akira.
15:51After a world of punishment dealt.
15:57Looking to get himself back in the game against Hiromi Takahashi.
16:15Trying to overhook that arm, get it into a butterfly, a tiger, suplex position.
16:28Desperately escaping, oh, and hoisted, the German, the fireplex, the 3-0.
16:37It's electric here, you know, main event in Code Green Hall.
17:01Aker wants to catch lightning in a bottle. Speed fire, speed fire. Oh he got all of it.
17:10I think if he pinned him it would be over but Aker wants to make doubly sure, wants to drive
17:17the knees in the back of the head, wants to hit the fireball. Got it, no he didn't. Hiromi ducked
17:24out the way. Oh Midio had got it though. And again, cover.
17:40A ripple of thunder.
17:43The stamping of the feet.
17:45The big max door pinhole made of energy. Could Aker be in the cusp of victory?
18:03One more time, loaded up, fireball again.
18:15That fireball was a stick of dynamite from Hiromi Takahashi.
18:30And now, finally Aker's time is one out. Time bomb, 1.5, there's the cover and oh it's not over.
18:45Halfway through the time in it. You will not need the full 30.
19:02This crowd just like this match.
19:07Standing on a sixpence one way or the other.
19:11And now it'll be over surely for Hiromi perhaps. Double leg Nelson, oh he got two.
19:22Oh he got the roll, oh he does it. Reaches the other way.
19:26No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
19:41Hiromi licks his chops, delivers a sickening wheelbarrow jam and somehow
19:50the Italian pride in Aker hung into his feet but just for a second.
19:56Oh and up after one second more.
20:04Hiromi the look in his eyes like what's it gonna take?
20:12Here we go into the corner. Hard, hard the mouthpiece of Aker flying out on impact.
20:29And that DVD in the corner.
20:30From 1.5 to two, time bomb two would definitely be over. Aker escapes, oh driven down.
20:46Hiromi wants Aker to stand up and accept his fate.
20:59Hiromi, giant bomber.
21:05Still not enough.
21:08And surely this will be, no. What's this now? Takes him down the leg.
21:25Rolls through, oh wait a second, wait a second, I think I've seen this.
21:37I think I saw this in that documentary with Aker when he was training with Tajiri.
21:47And he was working on new holds but this is super genius.
21:54A ground tarantula, a ground tarantula and he tapped and he tapped and Aker, Francesco Aker has done it.
22:07Of all the pressures that Aker was here to try and bear, of all the inspirations that he had
22:28from his own unit, from his own country, it was something that he worked and cooked up
22:36with his teacher Tajiri. The ground tarantula bit and bit hard.
22:43Hiromi Takahashi submits for his second straight loss and Francesco Aker has moved to four points.
22:52Hiromi Takahashi wins by a record of 18 minutes and 17 seconds.
23:04That's why they call him the best of the super juniors.
23:10Hiromi! Hiromi!
23:16Hiromi! Hiromi! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
23:24Hiromi, you're not a member of the faction.
23:30No, right now, Aker's saying, Hiromi, right now you don't have a faction.
23:34The United Empire has recently gained members, so why don't you think about it for a bit?
23:44Oh, and an invitation from Aker to Hiromi Takahashi.
23:52Sneered and Hiromi walks away. I don't know whether that was a serious invitation or a little taunt
23:59for Hiromi Takahashi and the United Empire.
24:07I'm tired, but it was fun. Pro-wrestling is the best!
24:13I like all of it. That was a hell of a lot of fun.
24:20I said that I would stop looking at the past, but only look forward.
24:28Stop thinking to the member that left us, but to the member I am here.
24:34Calum, Jacob, Oka, Templario, Aaron, and me.
24:40And the fans of the United Empire!
24:43I'm here to become the best junior heavyweight wrestler in the world.
24:49And tonight, I beat one of the strongest opponents!
24:57Okay, in Japanese...
