00:00This is a production of the U.S. Department of the State of State.
00:30Well, it was not the start to this year's best of the Super Junior, Yoshinobu Kanemaru had envisioned.
00:34But he saw Dragon Daiya was his first block competitor.
00:38House of Obu torture, 173cm, 85kg.
00:41Kanemaru Yoshinobu!
00:46Only one victory on the board for Yoshinobu Kanemaru comes at the expense of a countout to Clark Connors of the War Dogs.
00:53We'll be seeing Connors in action later on tonight.
01:00The good gosh, Chris, it was on my list.
01:14Already is one to watch for a potential match of the tournament.
01:17Boy oh boy, it delivered Francesco Akira, Hiromu Takahashi, and Korokan Hall.
01:23And every single time, Akira is in these big match main event situations.
01:27If you watch this Italian-born young man level up just another piece, put another piece of the puzzle together.
01:34And I think Akira did just that with a victory over one of the winningest competitors in Best of the Super Junior history.
01:41Over the winningest competitor in Best of the Super Junior history.
01:44The best match, the勝ち点 4, United Empire, Crown of Fire, Francisco Akira!
01:54You polish off the biggest of the big three, and you're in very fine form.
01:58But Yoshinobu Kanemaru is a trap game for absolutely anybody in this tournament, Walker.
02:03I don't think maybe he expected or wanted a few more points, but I don't think he really cares.
02:07That's never been the goal for Kanemaru in this tournament.
02:11He just enjoys ruining other people's tournaments.
02:16Well, we've seen House of Torture play spoiler before.
02:19Will it be Kanemaru tonight?
02:22Will it be Shou coming up later on in the evening?
02:25Who puts a dent in the plans for these Best of the Super Junior competitors?
02:28Watch out!
02:29Francesco Akira.
02:30And that Crown of Fire is worn on the head damn well by United Empire.
02:40Oh!
02:41And flies to the outside.
02:43Taking a guy in that one.
02:45Kanemaru sidestepping.
02:47Every single bit of his environment put to great use.
02:52That includes the Young Lions and it includes the floor.
02:55And now gonna start that assault on the knee.
02:59Smythe sparing the game.
03:01Oh, you're right about that, Chris.
03:02And I hate to admit it, but it is the things we see and it is the things that only Yoshida
03:06Bukanemaru will see and notice.
03:08And to take advantage of here tonight on Francesco Akira, there was a brief period of time off between
03:14the last time he joined you on NJPW World.
03:16I made my way into Japan during that period of time.
03:19And you know, that Cork and Hall matchup that we saw for Akira.
03:22A lot of big bumps and bruises taken.
03:24I mean, he can't be walking in.
03:26None of these people can be walking in at 100%.
03:28For sure.
03:29You know what I mean?
03:30If anything, when you talk about pure match time, Yoshida Bukanemaru has to be walking
03:35in fresher than most.
03:38You gotta maximize your minutes, win or lose.
03:43Maybe as successful as you can in a short period of time as you can.
03:47And Kanemaru only 18 minutes, 50 seconds combined in ring time.
03:52Ninth lowest of anyone in block A outside of Ninja Mac, beaten by about 28 seconds or so.
04:00And now Kanemaru looks to make short work of Francesco Akira.
04:04You know, there's this feeling when you watch a man like Yoshinobu Kanemaru, he just approaches
04:17every single one of these block matches the same.
04:19There's no, I'm gonna change my style.
04:21I'm gonna do this a little bit differently.
04:22Kanemaru has known what has worked for him since he was reigning multiple times over
04:26as GHD Junior Heavyweight Champion in Pro Wrestling NOAH.
04:29And he sticks to a lot of these traits here in New Japan as House of Torture.
04:33Well, at the same time though, I think there is a gradual alteration.
04:37Kanemaru much more of a straight-faced, straight-ahead fighter in Pro Wrestling NOAH.
04:43But, certainly that next evolution of his game in Suzuki-gun has helped dictate to the point I feel.
04:51Suzuki-gun colored Kanemaru, and then Kanemaru colored House of Torture.
04:54I can't imagine where House of Torture would be at all if it wasn't for the presence of Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
05:00Yeah, we know where House of Torture is not, and that is within Bullet Club.
05:04Victory Crown on the way, yes indeed, delivered right through Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
05:10And Akira, four points to six, cover, and it's two.
05:14And don't forget, well, let's see if he gets it here.
05:18Don't forget how he beat Hiromu Takahashi Walker using that submission from Tajiri, the ground tarantula.
05:27Certainly something that Hiromu hadn't expected.
05:33When you think about facing someone as sneaky as Yoshinobu Kanemaru,
05:37having a coach in Tajiri, best coach to have.
05:40If there's one person who has done a little bit more, seen a little bit much,
05:45it is going to be Tajiri over Kanemaru, and that is a hard line to draw.
05:50Here is Akira that has continuously had these knees worked on, cover here for Akira, and it's not enough.
05:56It was the knees of Akira that took him out of Best of the Super Junior last year early on.
06:02Speed fire, inbound.
06:05And those needs need to be protected now.
06:08Here's the cover for Akira again, two only.
06:11Yeah, I think it was right about this point of the tournament, if I remember correctly, in Ahachiyoji last year.
06:23Do you think he tries for the fireball here?
06:27Who knows Kanemaru might expect it.
06:29Let's go big or go home though, it's crowns up and the fire's out.
06:33No, no, no, wait a minute.
06:35Right into the official.
06:37Again, use every aspect of your environment.
06:41If that includes the referee, gives you a little bit of a chance.
06:45Or even the things you bring to your environment.
06:48It's that whiskey bottle, we're drinking on the job tonight.
06:51And it's not a first for Yoshinobo Kanemaru.
06:54Oh, wait a minute. Sakamoto, oh, damn it to hell.
07:09Oh, wait.
07:10And the cover for Kanemaru.
07:12And the win, four points to the house.
07:16It's a win for 56 minutes.
07:18It's a win for Yoshinobo.
07:22Just like I said, Walker.
07:24Kanemaru enjoys the most ruining other people's momentum.
07:29Just as Francesco Akira came in today on a high and beat Niromo Takahashi.
07:35Now he's having to go back to the drawing board or an even at 2-2.
07:40You can't blame referee Sakamoto for just trying to do his job.
07:47But Francesco Akira obviously had a game plan in mind.
07:51And it was sabotaged at the hands of the rule book.
07:54Something that Yoshinobo Kanemaru always finds himself on the outside of.
07:58It is Akira still at four points.
08:01Now met with Kanemaru in block A standings.
08:04And the next time, Francesco Akira is in the ring 24 hours from now.
08:08We'll be live in Hachioji taking on Master Watto.
08:11One on one.
08:12Yeah, both of those guys at four points.
08:14Pressure on high.
08:16Yeah, go on kid, you need it.
