01:00I'm here!
01:02Wagner!
01:04This is Kiyomiya.
01:06End.
01:08This is Kiyomiya.
01:10I can't believe anyone.
01:12I can't believe anyone.
01:14I can't believe anyone.
01:16I can't believe anyone.
01:18I can't believe anyone.
01:20G.H.C. Heavy Q.
01:24The game is Kiyomiya vs.
01:40The game is Kiyomiya vs.
01:44A Kiyomiya vs.
01:46The game is Kiyomiya vs.
01:50The G.H.C.
01:52You're watching Wrestle Universe pay-per-view, this is Wrestle Magic 2024 live and direct
02:12from us at the Ryoboku Kokuki-kan in Tokyo, Japan.
02:16The main event is upon us, the GHC Heavyweight Championship title is on the line, Kaito Kiyomiya
02:23coming in to snatch it, possibly for a third time in his career.
02:33He won the contendership against Jake Lee, which was set up by the champion El Hilda Dr.
02:41Jr. and he's here on 100% merit.
02:48XI Heavyweight Championship
02:51The Aztec Warrior
03:21The reigning GHC Heavyweight Champion
03:26One from Ken-O
03:31On the 4th of February, 2024
03:36Up in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture
03:39The first non-Japanese to win the GHC National Title
03:47The second ever to win
03:51The GHC Heavyweight Crown
03:53After Eddie Edwards, I believe
03:56That's right
03:57That was a huge upset in Sendai Mark
04:02It was a shocker, complete shocker
04:04They had a preview tag match this week
04:09Wagner joined Stinger
04:10To beat Kiyomiya, O'Hara and Uwada
04:14The third generation luchador
04:18Climbs to higher heights
04:23The main event is upon us here
04:25You're listening to Stu Fulton, Mark Pickering and G-Man on the call
04:28G-Man, you've got to be loving this
04:31This has got a huge fight feel
04:35What do you think, G-Man?
04:37Well, this one could go either way, folks
04:39And that's what it's all about right there
04:42Well, that's the thing, G-Man
04:43Kaito Kiyomiya has held this title twice in his career
04:47For a combined 559 days
04:50So these are not just, you know, short reigns that got snatched back off him
04:54He is very used to the weight of that belt on his shoulders
04:58Indeed, but he's got to take it
05:00From Wagner here tonight
05:04In this high stakes
05:07High pressure, big match environment
05:09This one, like I said
05:11Could go either way
05:13Be on the edge of your seats for this one
05:15The champion, Wagner
05:17Sporting gold
05:20In his outfit here today, Mark
05:22How splendid does he look?
05:23Both men's boy, Newt, ring gear today
05:26Of course, the pageantry is such a big aspect, isn't it?
05:29Of Lucha Libre as well
05:30Great into the tie-up
05:34Now that
05:37GHC National Championship at Wagner High
05:41352 days, he held that red belt
05:45Phenomenal reign
05:47Yeah, it was a record breaker, wasn't it?
05:50The athleticism of Kiyomiya early on
05:52Big leapfrog
05:54Sucks away the leg
05:58Catches him
06:00Kiyomiya's going for a spin
06:02But he uses it against him
06:04Excellent counter
06:05And kicks up
06:06Flying around there like a junior heavyweight is Kiyomiya
06:09Kiyomiya originally held in his first reign
06:14Back in 2018 through to 2020
06:18384 days he held that belt in his first reign, Mark
06:22Yeah, you have to remember as well, he was the youngest GH heavyweight champion in history
06:25He was 22 years of age
06:27And you talk about the mantle that comes with that
06:30The expectations to carry pro wrestling
06:32Noah forward as well
06:33He's now older, he's wiser
06:35Still only 27 years old though
06:37Targeting his third reign as GH heavyweight champion today
06:41The second reign of September 2022 through to March of 2023
06:45Which he won from Keno and successfully defended four times
06:49But he is facing a different animal here today
06:54El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Junior
06:56Has things that other heavyweights just don't have
07:00Totally different set of attributes, different set of tools
07:03That's why he's had the success he has
07:05Kaito Kiyomiya looking super confident as challenger here today
07:14Yeah, you think of the tune-up matches you said recently
07:17The beating kernel was such an achievement for him at Crockenhall
07:21We saw a new side to Kaito Kiyomiya that day
07:23New degree of intensity, new fighting side
07:26He's a busy man right now
07:28He's wrestling all over the place
07:30Not just here in pro wrestling north
07:31Yeah, this will be a career defining weekend for him
07:33Three huge matches in three days
07:36Huge elbow drop
07:40Shades of Keiji Muto
07:42Keiji Muto still on guest commentary on the Japanese desk
07:47Across from us
07:48Kaito Kiyomiya of course inherited
07:53A handful of Keiji Muto's moves
07:57After he defeated him at the Nippon Budokan
08:00Recently he's been trying to make his own
08:02He's even attempted, I've seen recently
08:04A second rope jump in
08:06Shiny Blizzard as well
08:07Yeah, he's modified that in a few different ways
08:10He's still perfected it to fit himself
08:13To suit his technique, his repertoire
08:15Yeah, anybody knows you can't just
08:19Straight up copy a wrestler's moves
08:21You have to make them your own
08:22You have to evolve them in your own way
08:24You've got to put your own spin on things
08:26You've got to be your own person
08:27Your own fighter in the ring
08:28You're targeting that right leg
08:33Of Wagner
08:33Wagner though
08:42Able to take
08:44So much punishment
08:45And still shines
08:47That match with Keno
08:50Keno basically tried to kill him
08:52I think that sound spoke for itself
08:59European uppercut rocks the head back
09:03Of the champion
09:04Follows up
09:04Catches him though
09:06Into the backbreaker
09:06Pain on that right leg
09:09Though he didn't get all of it
09:10Yeah, that could really come into this
09:14Later on as well
09:14Perhaps when
09:15Wagner's thinking about
09:16That best moonsault ever
09:18Taking a look at the numbers here
09:22Wagner's had 65 career singles matches
09:24With a nearly 60% win rate
09:27Kyo Nia
09:28240 singles matches
09:30In his career so far
09:31With a roughly 50% win rate
09:34They've only had one singles match
09:36Which Kaipo won
09:38Back in January
09:40January 5th
09:402020
09:41At Coraco Inn Hall
09:43I believe it was on one of the
09:44New Year reboot shows
09:45That's right, yeah
09:46Just a year after
09:48Wagner made his note
09:48To Adrian in 2019
09:50Yeah, back in 2019
09:54That was the first time
09:55They faced each other
09:56In a tag team match
09:57Where Wagner teamed up
09:58With his Euroboon
09:59In a winning effort
10:00Struggling with that right knee
10:10Is Wagner
10:11He's going to have to fight through it
10:15As he knows better than us
10:17Kyo Mir's face
10:19Goes into the turnbuckle
10:20And it's going to go into the opposite side now
10:24Coast to coast here
10:26Yeah, that's just one
10:33No
10:34Cheeky eye
10:39There's some distance behind him there
10:44That catapults Kyo Mir into the air
10:48You can already see the lacerations across the chest of Kyo Mir as well
10:52From some of those chops
10:53Fans of both champion and challenger in attendance here
11:03Kyo Mir has always been a fan favourite
11:07But Wagner has gained so many fans
11:10It's unbelievable
11:10Kyo Mir lands on his feet this time
11:14He might catch him once
11:15But not the second time
11:17Running forearm smash though
11:18Sends him down
11:19And over onto the apron
11:21Wagner follows him
11:22European uppercut
11:34In response to that monstrous chop
11:36Hook to the face
11:38Runs along
11:41The apron
11:42Tumbling down onto the outside
11:45Kyo Mir gets out of danger
11:47Momentarily
11:48Huge back body drop
11:50Right on the other side of the ring
11:51Timely response from the challenger Kyo Mir
12:00He's had his chest ripped apart earlier on by Wagner
12:04We're still just minutes into this main event
12:09Kyo Mir already damaged
12:11The champion Wagner
12:14Already damaged
12:15Also his right knee
12:16Giving him some trouble
12:17Wagner
12:18Hey
12:20Hey
12:23Back in
12:27Straight on the other side of the ring
12:2984-10- aby
12:34G
12:43...
12:44What's happening
12:44I think Na RIDAN
12:46I think Na RIDAN
12:46That's a lucky day
12:47I think Na RIDAN
12:48JARINA!
12:50JARINA!
12:52JARINA!
12:54JARINA!
12:56He folded Chiamir with that foot made to see that.
13:02Chiamir is still down.
13:04Ragnar struggling.
13:06He's got the edge here now though.
13:14What is he going to do with him on the outside here?
13:16JARINA!
13:18JARINA!
13:20We're on 7 of the 20 count now.
13:22JARINA!
13:24That looks like it's one dive, one flying attack from Wagner to change everything in the contest.
13:28The size of that man coming flying at you.
13:30I mean how the hell do you deal with that?
13:32No you don't, you're right.
13:34That's the answer.
13:36Oh wow!
13:38Look at the smoothness in that transition from Wagner.
13:42JARINA!
13:44He's going to try and end up the end of the shoulders down for Chiamir.
13:46He has loads of pressure on that.
13:48Chiamir forced to kick out with authority or get pinned.
13:52He's got so many intricate pinning variations as well as Wagner.
13:58Some that Chiamir has probably never even been on the receiving end of before.
14:02Yeah you almost have to keep your eye on though.
14:06He did it to Fujita out in Osaka.
14:08Caught him on a Wales on the N1.
14:10Back in 2022 I believe.
14:12I want to say he caught him out with a Casador cutback.
14:16Yes.
14:22Wagner already told the crowd he's going for the Michinoku driver.
14:30Chiamir does not want that to happen, takes another chop across his chest.
14:34Chiamir struggling now.
14:36Flying Lariat brings him back into it.
14:40But he's still down.
14:46Hulk's men have already absorbed a lot of damage early in this contest.
14:52Yeah from the bell.
14:54Look at Chiamir though.
14:56He's got new fan fighting spirit.
14:58That's what saw him topple, Keno and Jake Lee.
15:04Still chance of Kaito and Wagner split here.
15:08And it was down twice.
15:12Two jump drag.
15:14In that two.
15:16And a drop kick.
15:18Oh my God he went out.
15:20He fell between the first and the second rope right to the floor.
15:24Back first as well.
15:26Yeah it was.
15:28Couldn't do anything about the impact there.
15:32Only ten minutes.
15:33This feels like a lifetime of war.
15:35Between these two men so far.
15:37In this main event.
15:41Ultra Tiger drop from the Challenger.
15:43No way.
15:46They could coast to coast then.
15:50Landed it clean.
15:51Wiped out Wagner.
15:52Wagner.
15:53Wagner cheering for Wagner to get back to his feet.
15:58He is so loved here in Japan.
16:00Yeah.
16:01A firm fan favorite.
16:02Wagner cheering for Wagner to get back to his feet.
16:06He is so loved here in Japan.
16:07Yeah.
16:08A firm fan favorite.
16:09And he's loved across the generations.
16:10Right from the kids.
16:11To the old school fans.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Back into the ring we go.
16:14Some of those older fans would have seen his father and indeed his granddad wrestle here.
16:20Oh straight up to the top turnbuckle.
16:21Wagner doesn't know where he is right now.
16:22He turns round to face.
16:23It's a kick.
16:24There's the cover.
16:25Hooks up the leg.
16:26Keone looking for the three.
16:27Yes.
16:28Yes.
16:29Yes.
16:30Yes.
16:31It's a near fall.
16:32Department of heavyweight.
16:33It's a phenomenal level.
16:38In the top.
16:39It's a phenomenal level.
16:40Of heavyweight a hand.
16:41It's a phenomenal level.
16:55a phenomenal level of heavyweight wrestling
17:0327-year-old Kiyomiya versus the 32-year-old Mexican Wagner
17:10solid shot
17:15whipped into the corner
17:18he's struggling
17:19runs into a boot
17:23but you know it
17:25you know it
17:25it's a chop to the back of the neck
17:31monstrous backdrop suplex
17:37presses the base for the count
17:39that impact is incredible
17:41a hybrid of a bang and a boom
17:46it's a ring-breaking suplex that was
17:54Ragnar's ears pricked up when he heard the chants from the crowd that'll give him some extra power no doubt Mark
18:05feeds off their energy
18:06it's really important to him
18:07deadlift the challenger up onto the shoulders
18:14the legs are holding up so far
18:17everyone looks across to Keiji Muto when that went down
18:25must be so surreal seeing the new generation carrying on the legacy that you left
18:33that's what it's all about isn't it
18:43still chance of Kaito and Wagner
18:45ringing throughout the super hall here drop kick to the knee from Kaito Kiyomiya
18:49I see the distance on that drop kick then
18:53accuracy as well
18:55that was a good three meters he flew there
18:57this is the best version we've seen of Kaito Kiyomiya
19:00coming off two huge wins in recent weeks as we said
19:05beating Ken out then Jake Lee
19:07Kiyomiya makes his way up from the heavens missile kick
19:17it's not marching forever from there
19:30how does Wagner deal with this yeah that's the question is it
19:33Kiyomiya is wearing him down now he wants to make him quit
19:38Wagner has got to try and find some form of separation between him and Kiyomiya
19:45Kiyomiya has added so many tools to his arsenal over the years he has had a lot
19:51of techniques and skills but he's now starting to string them together much better Mark
19:55absolutely that's been a difference maker for him putting everything together now
19:59attacks in succession building from one to the other
20:03is Wagner going to give up
20:10gets worse for the Mexican now Kiyomiya dragging him back to the center
20:15will he be even able to walk properly tomorrow
20:20gets to the rope
20:22Kiyomiya forced to let go of that figure four leg lock
20:2515 minutes in the champion getting brutalized here at the hands

22:06high impact though huge
22:08Kiyomiya is doing the right thing now creating some distance between him and the champion
22:17he's got to regroup here Kiyomiya
22:25the crowd getting behind both champion and challenger here
22:31he's going to be first to their feet crucially
22:33both men have zero quit in them it's still anybody's game
22:45can barely walk Wagner with that right knee yeah he's not even limping he couldn't even
22:49put weight on it there for a second
22:52he's going to have to change his tactics
22:57decides to dump Kiyomiya up at the top
23:00he might look for one last flurry risk everything Wagner
23:06that's exactly what he's made of yeah that's what he's all about
23:14he's got the arms of the challenger hooked up
23:17Kiyomiya hours out
