00:00There's a lot of things you can talk about with Nick Wayne, Chris Charlton, that only go back to childhood, but it's not like that was too long ago.
00:27Only 19 years of age, the prodigy, the Ring of Honor World Television Champion, and now a relationship from the very beginning.
00:35When Nick Wayne was only 12, 13 years old, training underneath his own father, the legendary Buddy Wayne.
00:41There was one man that he met then that he meets once again on the biggest stage in junior heavyweight wrestling.
00:48Best of the Super Junior sees the ROH TV Champion versus the Jet.
00:53AEW ROH TV Champion, the Prodigy, Nick Wayne.
01:02A couple of meetings for both these men on the independents.
01:05I don't think anybody, either of them, thought that they would be here in Tokyo and doing it again under the banner of Best of the Super Junior 32.
01:15But here you are.
01:28But for me, Walker, I feel this is as much, yes, a clash of childhood, well, childhood friends.
01:35You could say big brother, little brother, I think you could say certainly.
01:40Well, also a little bit of a philosophical difference to my mind.
01:46Kevin Knight of course learned, just as Nick Wayne did under Buddy Wayne, but it was what they did next, and the next step in their careers.
01:57And as Nick Wayne became a television star, accepting that contract for Darby Allin, and then, well, falling under the proverbial learning tree of Christian Cage, Kevin Knight took the path to the LA Dojo, took the path to Cassioi Shibata.
02:12And he said in the press comments before this tournament even started, you are a phenomenal, a prodigy, as you say, but you don't know the struggle of Strongstar.
02:28Kevin Knight!
02:33By the same token though, Walker, you talk about struggle.
02:43The 0-3 echo to Kevin Knight definitely speaks of struggle so far.
02:47It is differences on every single level.
02:54Philosophical difference in victory and loss all tied together in the past.
03:01There are two singles matches on record between these two men back on the independent scene in 2019.
03:07That was six years ago.
03:10So if Nick Wayne would have been 13 years old.
03:12Nick Wayne was 13 years of age.
03:14That is insane.
03:17And at 13 years of age, Nick Wayne was able to put down then known as the Jett, Jett Knight.
03:25And well, Jett moved to a nickname and Kevin being adopted.
03:30Kevin Knight has proven himself to be something far and beyond what anyone could have imagined in the year of 2019 and multiple time.
03:37IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion and a hell of a representative for AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling alike as a dual contracted athlete.
03:45Well, yeah, I mean the very example of how this, how the AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance can be really beneficial.
03:55I think Kevin Knight has gained an awful, awful lot from his time on TV in America.
04:02Part of that has been an adaptability in my opinion.
04:04You know, having to wrestle against heavyweights over there.
04:07And by the same token, you know, Kevin Knight having to say, hey, you know, I'm going to have to change my game plan when it comes to Nick Wayne.
04:20That spike DDT that has gotten in success before in this tournament in New Japan Pro Wrestling, it didn't cut it twice.
04:27All right, Nick, I respect you.
04:46Neither of these men can look at one another and see the individual they stood across in 2019.
04:52And Kevin Knight believes he's on another level, that level a bit higher than that of the Patriarchy Zone, Nick Wayne.
05:04I think it definitely disappointed Kevin Knight to see Nick Wayne take the direction that he did.
05:11And it is Nick Wayne, oh, looks to show in spades exactly why that allegiance with Christian Cage has managed to pay some dividends.
05:28I think another thing that this is where the youth of Nick Wayne has definitely helped him.
05:33I mean, you know, I said it a couple of nights ago in Corcoran Hall, Nick Wayne really, look out, trying to ride it until the wheels fall off.
05:41And that, those wheels may fall off sooner rather than later.
05:46Elbow damage in his first match against Sho and then in his last two, having his knee absolutely decimated.
05:53You know, more viciously, I think, with El Desperado and just coming away with the win in Corcoran Hall.
06:02Wayne to the outside, watch out for it.
06:04And Nick Wayne giving dive out.
06:06Kevin Knight, watch it.
06:07Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:08Up and over.
06:09You can't stop the jet.
06:12Let's go.
06:16Jet to fly and flying right in to the man that is Nick Wayne.
06:21He's the man you look up to, mainly because you don't have a choice.
06:30You're going to talk a little bit about Nick Wayne as Ring of Honor World Television Champion.
06:35Won the title from Commander Beckett.
06:37AEW Collision Spring Breakthrough.
06:41As Kevin Knight with the lariat right off the top.
06:44Here's the cover from the jet.
06:46And only two.
06:47You talk about an intense championship schedule.
06:50Nick Wayne, back-to-back defenses.
06:53One night against Jay Lethal.
06:54The next against former ECW standout Rhino in AEW Television.
06:59Well, I mean, that's only...
07:01That's only the vaguest preview of something that you have to get through into this tournament.
07:08You know, and I think that was very smart on the part of Nick Wayne to take those two matches
07:12the way that he could to prepare yourself for something like this.
07:17And you have no idea what opportunities will arise.
07:22Kevin Knight finds a win over Nick Wayne.
07:24Who's to know if Tony Khan makes a match official for that Ring of Honor World Television title?
07:29I mean, they're on the same sort of travel loops on AEW Television.
07:34I mean, certainly you could see that.
07:38Everything leads to something else.
07:40And that's why Nick Wayne was very, very quick to throw out a challenge towards El Desperado
07:45backstage in Coral Crane Hall just the other night.
07:49You've got to make the most of every opportunity.
07:52But that is for then.
07:54That is for later.
07:56Right now, it's best of the Super Juniors.
07:58And Kevin Knight knows if he goes down 0-4, well, he's absolute best shot.
08:05If you're 0-4 in this tournament, it's the top point scorer that advances.
08:09There's no semifinals.
08:10Your absolute best shot is a massive multi-man tie.
08:14Basically, if you're 0-4, you're out of this thing.
08:17Right.
08:20And Kevin Knight, well aware that the risk of elimination weighs heavy on the mind.
08:24Nick Wayne off the ropes.
08:25The Prodigy sweeps the back with the foot.
08:29And watch it for Wayne.
08:31Up and down.
08:32Planting out the jet.
08:35That's why your DDT is interesting to me.
08:39It's not so much the knee, but the left arm and a little bit of the midsection that he's coming back to bite him.
08:49I wonder whether Nick spent a lot of time on his day off yesterday trying to rehab, trying to make sure his knee is good.
08:57Well, that sort of leads to min-maxing other areas of your body.
09:05Yeah.
09:06Yeah.
09:06Yeah.
09:07Yeah.
09:08Pull.
09:09Pull.
09:09Pull.
09:10Pull.
09:11Pull.
09:12Oh, sweeped under.
09:17Oh, voided it.
09:19Nobody knows Kevin better than Nick.
09:21Oh, dragon suplex on the cover.
09:23Two.
09:24He's sucking air here, and you can see him clutch his midsection at every chance he gets.
09:46Kevin Knight is a freak of conditioning, and it's going to make it very hard for Nick Wayne.
09:52And the longer this match goes...
09:56Oh, Knight, a bad! Watch it!
10:02Kevin, Jett, two, no!
10:09Nick Wayne on the back, handspring, and Knight, oh, right out of it.
10:17I don't think Kevin Knight got entirely out of that dropkick, but definitely had enough.
10:22To avoid disaster.
10:25Now, Nick Wayne, while smartly we often talk about a veteran mindset in a young man's body,
10:31but rolling to the floor, take that time out where you can get it, and take a breath,
10:36because Kevin Knight's not going to allow it.
10:42Kevin Knight taking it, two!
10:44The body ricocheting off the ground of Kevin Knight and Nick Wayne both alike.
10:56He's still awake.
10:57Okay, count on the ground!
10:58One!
11:00Two!
11:01Three!
11:02Four!
11:03Five!
11:04Five!
11:05Six!
11:06Seven!
11:07Eight!
11:08Nine!
11:09Ten!
11:10Eight!
11:11Nine!
11:12Ten!
11:13Nine!
11:14Ten!
11:15Eleven!
11:16Twelve!
11:17Twelve!
11:18Ten!
11:19Twelve!
11:20Four!
11:22One!
11:23Four!
11:24Four!
11:26One!
11:27marked two three!
11:28One, two, three!
11:30Five!
11:31Mine!
11:32Eleven!
11:34Four!
11:35Two!
11:36Four!
11:37Five!
11:38Five!
11:39Five!
11:40Five!
11:41Oh, Nick Wayne underneath it.
11:48Whoa!
11:50Shoot to the upper rib.
11:54Knight rolling through it.
11:56And Thunder will crash down.
11:59Watch it now.
11:59Nick Wayne, Mahistadal.
12:01Cover.
12:01No.
12:02Oklahoma roll it was out there.
12:05No, no, no.
12:07And a cover again for Wayne.
12:10Whoa.
12:12Knight has not been able to put it away
12:14with that jumping DDT just yet.
12:24Nick Wayne rolls through it.
12:27Oh!
12:28Oh, Code Red.
12:29Code cover.
12:31And it's 2.9.
12:37We said this before.
12:38Nick Wayne, three wins in this tournament.
12:42Three different ways of getting that win.
12:45Whether it's the Prodigy Plex, the Tiger Destroyer, or Wayne's World that cut out the corner.
12:52And so, for most opponents, it's very difficult to game plan for a Nick Wayne, but Kevin Knight knows the kid better than anybody.
13:01How about that?
13:08How about that?
13:09Yeah, going accustomed to Japan.
13:12Here we go.
13:13What's that Prodigy?
13:14No.
13:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
13:18Knight nearly saw that DDT and a super kick.
13:21May see the end of Kevin Knight.
13:24Kevin Knight, you know.
13:25Oh.
13:25Bill determined to get that DDT.
13:28I'm not sure it's all right play at all, Walker.
13:31Nick Wayne, the sense of urgency.
13:33You can feel it.
13:36Wayne's going to feed off the energy here tonight.
13:39Find the victory.
13:40Close the deal.
13:41It's Wayne's World.
13:43No.
13:43No, it's not.
13:44It's got to be the shoes.
13:46Damn it.
13:47Whoa.
13:49Kevin Knight.
13:52DDT.
13:56Well, Kevin Knight's not going over the cover here.
13:58He knows it's not good enough to put away Nick Wayne.
14:03This might be what he told me about earlier on today, Walker.
14:07What?
14:07Something special.
14:08Something new.
14:09The UFO Splash.
14:12Whoa.
14:12Whoa.
14:14One, two, three.
14:21And it was a long, long road to get there.
14:30From Buddy Wayne's dojo in Washington to here tonight.
14:34Two points on the board.
14:38Kevin Knight over Nick Wayne.
14:40It is still Wayne's World in B block on six points, but he's having to share it now with T-turn and Taguchi and Kevin Knight finally on the board.
15:08That's it.
15:32The B-Hawk is the final race of the B-Hawk.
15:39It's the final race of Kevin Lango.
16:02Only one of those two is going to make it to eight points.
16:05We're the one at the lead.
16:06There'll be a battle for the lead of B-Block coming up tomorrow.
16:11Oh, man, that is a hard ask.
16:14You want to keep this role going, you have to keep it going against Tita and Tamar.
16:32You want to keep it going against Tita and Tamar.
