01:18We are all talking!

01:19No more listening to you!

01:22He's the father.

01:24He's the father.

01:30Challenger, Isakama Shuji!

01:35Wrestle Magic 2024!

01:38We are live from the Ryogoku Kokugi Khan.

01:42You're listening to Stu Fulton, Mark Pickering and G-Man.

01:45We have our first match about to kick off the GHC Hardcore Championship.

01:50Six matches announced, the other six mysterious.

01:54Mark, G-Man, are you not excited?

01:57Yes, fantastic show. We've got lined up and as you say still, we only know half the card.

02:02What a way to open up today with a hugely anticipated match and already Ishikawa is bringing in the chairs and the violence is going to follow.

02:11We're opening up tonight at Ryogoku with a funeral for Ninja Mac.

02:17Yes, we have already called the hearse. No need for the ambulance.

02:23Look at the scars on the back of this man. They tell a million nasty, violent tales.

02:29He's wearing his Hardcore gear as well, his deathmatch retire is Ishikawa.

02:34The man with the white belt around his waist, the GHC reigning Hardcore Openweight Champion Ninja Mac makes his way to the ring.

02:48His career has skyrocketed since he came over to NOAAF from GCW and other promotions.

03:06Two years ago but now, fast forward two years later to present day Ninja Mac is a dead man walking.

03:18This is his second title in pro wrestling, NOAAF. He's also held the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship which he stole from Hayata.

03:28158 days into his GHC Hardcore title reign.

03:37And how about this gentleman kicking off the show here at Ryogoku with a championship title match.

03:46Very special title match as well, GHC Hardcore.

03:48For recently resurrected title.

03:50Without a match, without a match, without a match.

03:53This is where Ninja Mac made his no idea here in 2022, except for the match, all match matches.

03:59This is a nice homecoming for Ninja Mac here today.

04:04He's made one successful defense out in Houston, Texas in December, beating Matt Lott.

04:10And then he got that challenge from Shuji Ishikawa on a Monday Magic Show and how could he refuse?

04:17Indeed, after beating Alpha Wolf who stole that Hardcore title.

04:24Look at this, he is taking on a mountain in this man Shuji Ishikawa.

04:29That's exactly what he is, the physical man mountain.

04:31The greatest threat Ninja Mac has faced so far.

04:35A shoulder of doom just crashed Ninja Mac to the mat and look, he's already got a chair out in play.

04:43Look at the size difference as well.

04:44Six foot five, 290 pounds Ishikawa.

04:48So well decorated, reverie speed as well.

04:49I think Shuji Ishikawa eats the body weight of Ninja Mac daily.

04:56This is your classic David versus Goliath right here at Ryugoku.

05:00Shuji Ishikawa former triple crown champion back in 2017, which he won from Kento Miyohara.

05:07He's successfully defended it twice.

05:09Oh, already hits the Ninja special.

05:12Goal!

05:12Get that.

05:15That's what Ninja Mac has to do, the champion.

05:18All bets are live.

05:21Champion has to out deliver and outpace Ishikawa.

05:24It's a different kind of threat for him.

05:27Oh yeah, this is an opponent of which he has not faced before.

05:31Yeah.

05:31And he's going in strong with the garbage can attack.

05:36There's two to the head of Ishikawa.

05:38This guy we saw on a limit break show in February and actually three other limit break shows since then.

05:46Watch out boys.

05:51Sends him over into the guardrail with a crash.

05:58Ninja Mac's got to use his speed and cunningness in this.

06:01Yeah, you know he's come up with a game plan for Ishikawa.

06:03He knows all about his deathmatch credentials as well.

06:06He's tying Ishikawa to the guardrail there.

06:09Smart move.

06:10It's all legal here.

06:12Just putting this you were talking about.

06:14Shuji Ishikawa, as you said Mark, known for deathmatches.

06:17He's just competed in an electric barbed wire map mine explosion match last month.

06:23As you do.

06:26Yeah, he's got a fascinating story as he came to the DDT Kojo 2003.

06:30Competing in his first deathmatch in 2009.

06:34And he might have become a triple count champion.

06:37Ninja Mac doing all the right things here straight off the bat.

06:41Tie him down in place.

06:42Oh, he's out.

06:45The beast is loose.

06:48Incredible pain threshold Ishikawa's got as well.

06:50And wait till he tees off with that left hand as well.

06:54I mean this man Ishikawa, glass boards, barbed wire, TLC alpha death.

06:59Just the list goes on of utter madness.

07:02Oh my goodness.

07:03Just broke the chair over the spine of Ninja Mac.

07:07He's been in some of the bloodiest, wildest matches you've ever seen.

07:10By 2010, that legendary match against Abdullah Kobayashi.

07:14He's been beaten to a pulp that day.

07:15I believe he hasn't lost a singles match since the 2023 champion carnival.

07:20Yeah, he's been in fine form as late.

07:22He's been freelancing this year since leaving Japan.

07:28Since he came onto the scene at Limit Break, he made absolute mincemeat out of UOU water.

07:34I knew he was going to say that mincemeat, he certainly did.

07:36That's right.

07:37That was his first match on the Limit Break show in February.

07:43He's not done there.

07:44He's going shopping.

07:46He is.

07:46He's going shopping underneath the ring, looking for more things to hurt the champion with.

07:52Five-time All Japan Pro Wrestling World Tag Team Champion as well, alongside Suama as Violent Giants.

08:02He's also held it once with Kohei Sato as Twin Towers.

08:08And for that Triple Crown reign as well, he beat no less than Kento Miyahara as well, 2017.

08:14Amazing.

08:14He ended up losing it to Kento Miyahara here at this very venue, Ryogoku Sumo Hall.

08:20So many accolades.

08:21And he thrives in this kind of environment, hardcore, with deathmatch rules.

08:25306 days as the deathmatch champion of Big Japan some years ago.

08:31Just look at the scars on his back.

08:35Picks up Ninja Mac, dumps him, takes a boot to the gut.

08:39Ninja Mac's got to create some space and some speed here.

08:43And he comes.

08:44The Ninja Special again, but it catches him this time.

08:47Oh no, no, he's on the apron.

08:50Oh Mac, Mac's going for a ride.

08:53Oh, pile driver on top of the table, smashes it.

08:59Ninja Mac's got to be out yet.

09:00Get the body bag ready for Mac.

09:04He's still moving, G-Man.

09:07How?

09:09Five minutes into this first match of 12 here today.

09:13Wrestle Magic 2024, the GHC Hardcore Championship title on the line.

09:18And Shuji Ishikawa's making sure that this table gets completely annihilated.

09:23And annihilates the champion.

09:26He's relentless in his pursuit of this white crown now.

09:29Is Ishikawa in the ascendancy.

09:31You're right, Mac.

09:35He is in his element.

09:36He's absolutely loving this.

09:37Oh, the ladders are out.

09:40The ladders are out.

09:42This is a man, you have to remember, who's already six foot five.

09:45Imagine if he climbs the top of that ladder.

09:47And he has a discount.

09:49Look at that knee lift.

09:52Everything he does is vicious.

09:54Now Jamat gets rolled in over the apron in the middle of the ring.

09:59What does Shuji Ishikawa have in store with this ladder?

10:08Barely registering.

10:11I think strikes are not part of the game plan here today.

10:14Mac's going for a rock.

10:15Watch out.

10:15Oh!

10:16The ladder's going to come down on him.

10:18Straight into the ladder.

10:23There's your Mac screaming in pain.

10:24It looks like Ishikawa's just getting started, Mac.

10:32Yeah, he's just warming up isn't he?

10:34Up on the shoulder.

10:37Mac gets out the back door.

10:38Super kick.

10:40There we go.

10:41Whirlwind kick.

10:42That's what he needs to do.

10:48Mac going up top now.

10:49Oh, chance of ninja here, G-Man.

10:53Look how he landed though.

10:54Like a cat.

10:56Preferably on his feet.

10:57Into the choke sleeper hold now.

11:00This is something we don't normally say from Mac.

11:02No, but it's a very good plan of action.

11:04Because it doesn't matter what size you are.

11:06If you get the back of a bigger man, you can dominate him.

11:10Grant Ishikawa, you negate the power factor then.

11:13He's trying to stand up with Ninja on his back.

11:17No, no, no, no.

11:18He's going to run him back into the ladder again.

11:23Super kick to the jaw.

11:24That one caught him clean.

11:28The ladder goes down lengthways.

11:31Don't do it, Mac.

11:32Over the challenger.

11:33Wow, the cat spin.

11:34Ninja Mac.

11:35Don't do it.

11:36Makes his way to the top turnbuckle.

11:39Boom.

11:40Lands it on top.

11:43Due to his own ribs though.

11:44Ninja, 6.30 splash.

11:49I think that's the first time we've ever seen a 6.30 splash.

11:53On top of a ladder.

11:55Now, Ishikawa has the back.

11:59You do not want somebody this size, weight and strength of Shuji Ishikawa hanging on to your neck.

12:06Not off, not off, not off, not off.

12:07All right, come on, all right.

12:09Ninja.

12:13This is hardcore rules, anything goes.

12:16It's hard to watch if you're a Ninja Mac fan.

12:18It certainly is.

12:18And there are a few in attendance.

12:21I saw a young lad earlier running through in the style of Ninja Mac with the Ninja Mac mask on.

12:27I hope he didn't have a ladder with him.

12:28I think one ladder is enough and this one is getting put in place.

12:36A round of applause from the audience here at Ryogoku.

12:40He's going all the way to the top.

12:43Look how unsteady that ladder is.

12:45He comes back on his feet.

12:47But he lands it.

12:48Catches him.

12:51Scoops him up.

12:53He's going into that ladder again.

12:55Oh my.

12:56Head first.

12:56And he landed on top of the ladder which buckled underneath him.

12:59That ladder is bent and twisted from Ninja Mac's face.

13:05A little bit like the dreams that Shuji Ishikawa sees.

13:10Oh, he used it against a nice counter from Ninja Mac.

13:13He has the shoulders down.

13:14Frankenstein a counter to the Splash Mountain attempt.

13:18Ninja Mac's still in this.

13:19Another big knee lift.

13:21The state of that ladder is not going to work again.

13:22The ladder's not still in this, Mark.

13:26That ladder is done.

13:27Early back.

13:29Oh, he's going to use it anyway.

13:31Not in the shape that it's twisted in there.

13:33You've got to be kidding me.

13:34Oh no.

13:34He doesn't care.

13:35Oh no, do not.

13:37Yes.

13:39He's trying to counter it again.

13:41Worked the first time.

13:42No, no.

13:43Boom.

13:44Oh, he just bent in the other way.

13:46Bombed into the ladder.

13:48Hooks up the leg.

13:49Oh.

13:50Two count.

13:54How did it kick out of that one?

13:58Ninja Mac does have some very secret powers.

14:01He's going to drop it again.

14:06Not on the ladder again.

14:07Oh, down he goes hard.

14:09This could be it.

14:10The Splash Mountain.

14:11It's a three count.

14:13Shuji Ishikawa snatches the white belt.

14:16The GHC Hardcore Championship is his city.
