05:42History to talk about between Bullet Club War Dogs and United Empire
05:47And of course Maloney and United Empire itself
05:50I mean even back to his very beginning days here in New Japan
05:53Yeah that's true
05:54Started out in the United Empire did Maloney
05:57And then joined the War Dogs when that group was founded
06:00Uh oh
06:01Well top of our embarrassment from earlier on
06:04Driller Maloney has not only just embarrassed
06:07But potentially literally tied Great Okan out of this one
06:11It can't be that this is
06:13You know this is very similar to how back in the day
06:17You remember how Toriyano knocked Great Okan out of the New Japan Cup
06:21It works smarter not harder
06:23I wouldn't call Yano an influence on Joel Maloney in that way
06:26But
06:27Sacrificed the bow did Okan but got back in the ring
06:31You can't sacrifice the bow easily
06:33Here's Maloney now
06:35Combination offense only finds two on Great Okan
06:41Hey Okan
06:45You know let's remind folks at home of course Chris
06:48Jerol Maloney no stranger to competing in round-robin tournaments
06:52A multiple time best of the Super Junior competitor
06:55Oh man
06:56Okan on the suplex with the bridge it is two only
07:00Yeah and we've you know I mean we talked about guys that have done both tournaments
07:03El Phantasmo as well as things to mind
07:05They often say in a way Super Juniors is a more condensed schedule
07:10And can be harder on the body than G1 Climax
07:14So it's certainly a great way to prepare for the rigors of the G1
07:18At the same time G1 competitors hit harder
07:23And that means more punishment for your body you know as I said
07:27Don't take that what I said lightly this is one of the hardest things that any human being can do
07:32Is go through a G1 Climax
07:34That's right
07:35And great Okan has done it multiple times would love to make it
07:38Oh
07:39To the very end
07:40Oh man
07:41And great Okan now gonna find the cover on Maloney
07:55That role revitalization of well just a year or so ago for great Okan really doing wonders
08:02Yeah well certainly with the three guys behind us absolutely no doubt
08:06Loyal subjects for great Okan
08:10Maloney trying to escape and now he's feeling just how hard great Okan can hit you
08:15But certainly Driller Maloney doesn't mind he's got a tough draw
08:18I mean to work his way into this tournament beat Tomohiro Ishii and Korokorn Hall
08:23Only two representatives of United Empire in this year's tournament
08:29Jeff Cobb absent from G135 but was involved in G134
08:34Great Okan feels a little bit added pressure to represent the Empire here Chris
08:38Yeah and three representatives for the War Dogs in this contest
08:42Driller Maloney Gabe Kidd
08:44Oh
08:45Nice Okan ties up Maloney here
08:49Driller Maloney Gabe Kidd and David Finley
08:51And Finley has often said hey the guns that point out also point in
08:58There's a lot of competition and a lot of pressure all the time
09:12And great Okan clutched in here with Troll Maloney as Maloney trying to inch even closer to that bottom rope
09:18Oh he's got a camel clutching and at the same time wrenching
09:21Yeah
09:22And the neck trying to literally pop his head off of Troll Maloney's shoulders and just collapses into the ropes there
09:27Yeah that's what makes Great Okan so unique if you're tuning in to New Japan Pro Wrestling for the first time
09:35This is your first G1 Climax we welcome you to the 17 different disciplines of Great Okan
09:40Seventeen yeah probably around about 17 they have had and not just disciplines but world champion level competitor in those disciplines
09:50And they are extremely proficient oh extremely proficient at this
09:57Squeezing their head wants that Eliminator
09:59And that claw could be the dangerous things for opponents of Great Okan
10:03Watch Maloney now ripped out big chop to the chest
10:07Oh and a couple more dangerous chops from Okan
10:11Wait wait wait wait wait wait
10:13Maloney underneath
10:15Got him
10:20Troll Maloney defeated Tomohiro Ishii to enter into this tournament
10:23And that influence that drive is going to bring him all the way to the final point if Maloney has a say in it
10:28And Jalen Maloney yes two days ago at our press conference isolating three matches that he feels are going to be the most important in this tournament
10:38Of course and Manny calls his brother Gabe Kidd of course somebody that has carried British wrestling on his back in Zack Sabre Jr.
10:46As well as Shingo Takagi I think Great Okan feeling very overlooked
10:51And now
10:52Not overlooked at all Great Okan looking forward to victory eliminator no
10:57Deep
11:21No
11:22Blotted
11:25Maloney hit the ropes here
11:27and just like that those disciplines
11:30come to play
11:31and troll maloney certainly did as well
11:34popped up

11:52this was a get almost a get off my ribs
11:55because i'm in so much pain at the moment
11:57I think that was behind that kick out

13:00The contrast on those kick outs

13:05And now
13:06Trilla Maloney feeling like he can get his first two points
13:10In a G1 Climax Tournament Walker
13:13Here it comes

14:05It was so so important
14:07And all the world watching
14:09The first night of your first G1
14:12So important to start strong
14:14And that is exactly what Trilla Maloney has done
14:17The walker if this is the G1 where the Empire strikes back
14:30Not exactly the best it starts for either Calum Neumann nor Great Okan
14:38The back is going to happen at the end of the tournament of course Chris
14:46But Great Okan and Calum Neumann will continue to strike all throughout
14:50Losses for United Empire on the evening
14:52But a big big way for Trilla Maloney to kick off his first ever G1 Climax campaign
14:58A win over a former NJPW world television champion
15:02And speaking of the former champion Great Okan takes on Shingo Takagi coming up tomorrow
15:07A rematch of the very match that put him out of the G1 last year in the playoffs
15:12You're right
15:13The great Okan needs to get back Shingo Takagi dropped his first earlier on
15:17So someone has to get on the board tomorrow night
15:20Coming up for tomorrow Trilla Maloney 24 hours from now faces off against Shota Umino in a further block beat competition
15:29Couldn't think of two more opposite personalities
15:35There you go
15:38That you're going to see tomorrow night but that is what makes this tournament great
15:53And speaking of greatness a couple of great ones coming up next to Amura versus Bolton Olegs next on deck
16:00You're a murderer versus Bolton Olegs next on deck
