00:00C'est le goal, Kev, de la première fois.
00:02Aujourd'hui, c'est le final de la semi-final G1 Climax D-Bloc.
00:07C'est le final de 20 minutes.
00:17Je ne sais pas, je sens que ça, pour moi,
00:20c'est un peu de ce que Zach peut accomplir sur sa propre,
00:23mais c'est comme ça.
00:25Je veux dire, je veux dire,
00:26je veux dire, je veux dire, je sais,
00:28je sais, de la focus a fait de New Japan Pro Wrestling
00:31et de la victoire,
00:32mais vous avez pris un élément,
00:36grâce à ce que Wilier Yuta et Claudio ont fait.
00:39Oui, bien sûr.
00:40Et dès que vous avez eu lancé,
00:42ils ont devenu la focus, right?
00:43Oh, sans doute.
00:45Je suis en train de prendre Claudio's soul,
00:47et je suis en train de break Yuta,
00:50si Moxley ne l'a pas.
00:51Il me a dit quatre ou cinq fois,
00:53je n'ai pas d'en prendre,
00:54je ne sais pas, je suis là!
00:56Je ne sais pas si c'est quoi,
00:57je suis là à vous d'en prendre,
00:57je vous ai que ceux de vous les инструментiers.
01:00Je suis là pour !
01:02je suis là pour toi, Claudio.
01:02Je sais ça,
01:03je suis arrivé.
01:07Je suis là pour toi.
01:08Et après votre right arm,
01:09votre back fist,
01:09votre primaire weapons
01:11un garseking qui te sert à vous
01:12juste en ce tourt.
01:14J'ai lancé en ce tournament.
01:14Et je sais pas,
01:15j'ai lancé que j'ai eu pour...
01:16Je sais pas,
01:17j'ai juste eu lancé de sonir.
01:20J'ai lancé que je suis là pour toi
01:22C'est ça, c'est ça.
01:52C'est ça, c'est ça, c'est ça, c'est ça.
02:25C'est ça, c'est ça.
02:34C'est ça, c'est ça.
02:45Il n'y a pas de problème.
03:16a ribcage injury
03:19and it looked to be a muscle injury
03:21and the only reason I say that is because last night
03:24you could see that he had remnants of a bruise
03:27along his ribcage
03:28and that was early in the tournament, am I correct?
03:31against Naito
03:31and it was a non-contact injury
03:36it wasn't like a direct strike
03:37something that Naito did
03:39it's just one of those things
03:40and you could see the remnants of it
03:41you could see a little bit of the bruising still there
03:44it's on his right side, folks
03:45and Zack Sabre Jr.
03:49submission artist will probably attack it
03:52no doubt, absolutely
03:54alright, so
03:55Rich Uzuno
03:57will call for the bell
03:59the semi-final is underway
04:01there are only two blocked matches left
04:04in the G1 Climax Tournament 33
04:08and then we start the playoffs
04:14both men very cautious
04:16just walking around
04:18they understand how important this is
04:21Zack, like you said, winning in
04:24Goto needs help
04:25but I believe Goto's also thinking
04:26he beats the television champ
04:29he gets a shot
04:29sure
04:30makes sense, don't it?
04:32yeah
04:32by the way, Goto's
04:35kids, of course
04:36big fans
04:37and
04:38they not only want to see him
04:39do well in
04:41New Japan Pro Wrestling
04:42of course, as always
04:43they also want to see him
04:44become the AEW champion one day
04:47that's not my call
04:48but yeah, why not?
04:49why not?
04:49I would love to see him in MJF
04:51I don't think MJF's built for him
04:53but, you know
04:54I would love it
04:55you gotta be in it to win it
04:56reverse hip toss
04:57nicely done
04:59hard shoulder tackle
05:01you get an appreciation for just how broad-shouldered Hiroki Goto is
05:07he's a thick man, folks
05:192018, we wondered if maybe Hiroki Goto had played his last G1 Climax tournament
05:25but, he went back to his roots
05:28oh, caught
05:32and this is what Zack Sabre Jr. can do
05:34oh, right, right there
05:35and that could go target the ribs
05:37yep
05:39less than two minutes in
05:41oh
05:42I also saw him on the bus, folks
05:45not trying to do two inside baseball here
05:47but Goto at one point was
05:48icing his back
05:55grabbing the ear there
05:56trying to get him up
05:59oh, there he goes
06:01he doesn't want to be dragging 250 pounds of Goto
06:04but he's just working on the low back
06:11oh, that's all
06:14singular focus for Zack Sabre Jr.
06:20again, picking him up by the ears, folks
06:22where the head goes, the body goes
06:27he better stay on him, though
06:29like I told you, Goto is battle-hardened
06:33he's had matches with Shibata and Tanahashi and so many others
06:37yeah, it was that relationship, that rivalry with Shibata
06:41they went to high school together
06:43God, they would kill each other in that game
06:45yeah, and then
06:46when Goto needed it
06:47he got the boost from Shibata and came back and was laser focused
06:51and now, blow an arrow here
06:53one, two, three, four
06:57all right, switch, beautiful switch
07:00and six second rule, that Wigan rule
07:03six seconds, you better change
07:05and you'll see that all the time
07:09always coaching, always coaching up young Kosei Fujita
07:16folks, I scream because I feel it
07:18yes, I feel it
07:26let me tell you something, Zack Sabre Jr.
07:29is very heavy-handed
07:30heavy kick-handed
07:32oh, right to the gut
07:36reverse
07:38oh, Zack went wide
07:40and Hiroki Goto was unable to adjust
07:43into the Cobra twist
07:44I'm telling you right now, Zack Sabre Jr.
07:46again, don't like him personally
07:48but I honestly, truly believe he's the best
07:51technical wrestler, if you want to say that
07:53out there today
07:55and now, it goes from a standing submission to a ground submission
08:02almost like, not almost a version of the twist of it
08:06look at the switch, look how he switches it so easily
08:10I think
08:12turn over into the ropes
08:13Goto had no choice but to turn
08:15no, he's got
08:17Goto's got no answers right now for Zack
08:21many do, not many do
08:23not many do, I believe
08:28and you know, you could say
08:30you agree, disagree with the decision
08:32with haste to help
08:33Zack
08:34Zack has gotten so close to being in
08:36the money of this tournament
08:38and
08:39uh oh, watch out now
08:41follow follow and down he goes
08:44Zack is not taking any chances
08:49he's been on the
08:52doorstep
08:54and has yet to get there
08:56this is a fantastic chance
09:08oh no, caught him
09:09oh
09:10that might be
09:14now we got it
09:16got to find a way to keep
09:17Zack at the same speed
09:19Goto can't go super fast
09:21kicking the leg
09:22and the back suplex
09:24and a kick out
09:25maybe you should go back to that leg
09:27man, slow Zack down
09:28maybe
09:30but when you're in there
09:31and you're in the heat of the battle
09:32you just go with what you know folks
09:43whoa
09:43and that's what Goto knows
09:45pulled him right in
09:47drilled him
09:51what do we got here Kev
09:55he'll dial it up for the big spots
09:58looking for that elbow drop
09:59but instead
10:01Zack would have headbutt to the gut there
10:03now what are you going to do
10:05Zack Sabre Jr.
10:06you can't win
10:07but you could certainly dish out some punishment
10:09here on these ropes
10:10but
10:11you could definitely break it
10:14oh
10:15play a dangerous game here
10:18oh
10:19those
10:22yeah
10:24oh
10:26Down he goes, now, Zach poppin' back up, oh my god, he was ready for it, how about this one,
10:40oh my god, oh my god, he's going to break Zach Sabre Jr. in half, sweet, oh man, Zach Sabre
10:53Jr. was turning purple,
10:56as you can tell, he's holding up his hands, trying to get the feeling back in his fingers, his neck
11:04was carrying every ounce of Goto's weight, you can tell too, look at it, his traps are activated to protect
11:11his neck, you can tell, oh, look at that, Zach can barely, barely run across, this is it for Goto
11:21right now, now Goto will not have to deal with
11:26Zach Sabre Jr. doing much, here we go, oh, he caught him, all he could do was wait, and then
11:34he switched again, kept right into it, oh, he's trapped, he's trapped, he's got nowhere to go, oh, he's so
11:39far away from the ropes right now, folks,
11:42Zach got his fingers, his elbows, his wrists, ah, Goto with just the slightest gap underneath the hips, able to
11:54pivot, he's not going to feel it, well, he's going to feel it, but not as bad as he'll feel
11:58it later, adrenaline's running through him right now,
12:01And Zach immediately trying to alleviate some of the pain in his neck from Goto hanging him earlier on
12:10Like I tell you, Kevin, when your neck gets hurt, your traps activate, and then it just shoots down your
12:15arms, you have got much going on, God, those kicks
12:20Oh, he caught that one
12:21Zach tried to sneak a second one, past the keeper
12:25Oh, he's telling him, hit him
12:29Yeah, he's trying to bait him, he's trying to bait him
12:32Zach is smart, he's the thinking man's wrestling
12:37He's more than adequate in the stand-up game, but he's trying to get a body part, oh, my gosh,
12:41he's trying to get a limb, he's trying to get an opening here, he takes tremendous damage to get there
12:49Oh!
12:55Zach, there's not no way he is
12:57Yushigaroshi
12:58Oh!
13:00On the neck
13:01That's already hurt
13:04GTR, no
13:06Back suplex
13:08What?
13:09Goto says, I've had enough of you
13:13Zach says, let me do this again
13:16Oh!
13:18Backbreaker
13:19Back to how he started
13:20And both men down
13:25Like I told you, Kev, Zach is a thinking man's wrestler, maybe the best technical wrestler in the business went
13:31right back to what he was working on earlier
13:33Iroki Goto's 68
13:35G1 Climax Tournament wins
13:38Third place all time
13:40Follow, follow again
13:41Oh!
13:42Zach is ready, Joe, did you think of?
13:44Here's the cover and a kick out of one
13:46Goto on his feet
13:47There you go, Zach
13:48Down goes Zach
13:50Two and almost straight
13:57Oh!
13:58Oh!
13:59Zach Driver!
13:59Oh!
14:00Zach Driver!
14:01But he can't follow up at the ten minute mark
14:09Offense turns to defense for Zack Sabre Jr., hit the Zack Driver, but it buys him time.
14:18That defensive maneuver may be able to win him this match and maybe even the tournament.
14:23They tell you defenses win championships, right?
14:25That goes across all sports, folks.
14:41And Lovewin Red Shoes will point at the individual wrestlers trying to get the crowd to get behind him.
14:46The noise, the energy will motivate them to get back up and get in the fight.
14:53It's adrenaline, folks.
14:54You hear it.
14:55You just feel it.
14:58Folks, being this close to the ring and hearing the smacking of flesh is ridiculous.
15:02It's great.
15:02I love it.
15:04Seeing the sweat fly, these men are going at it, Kevin.
15:13And they are going to batter each other.
15:16We'll see who can withstand it.
15:22Fighting spirit.
15:23Take your opponent's best shot to absorb it and fight back with your own best.
15:51Goto's got to be so careful, Zack is so dangerous in this spot.
15:58Keeps the arm.
15:59Now the other arm.
16:01And again.
16:04You're being...
16:05Oh!
16:07Cover him there!
16:08Couldn't check the leg.
16:09Oh, man.
16:10He can't cover him either.
16:12He's been...
16:13Oh.
16:19And the fierce warrior now.
16:22Zeroing in.
16:23Oh, maybe this is it right here.
16:24Here it comes.
16:26Mid kick.
16:27Down goes Zack.
16:31Oh, good night, Zack.
16:32Good night, Zack.
16:35High elevation and down.
16:37And the leg is hooked, too.
16:46Hit the people.
16:49GTR.
16:50GTR.
16:51No!
16:55What is this?
16:59The second one.
17:00No!
17:03Wait a second.
17:04Shoulders down.
17:05He's going to win.
17:06Oh, no!
17:06Another Eurocloth try!
17:13Oh!
17:14In the back of the net, Goto's on his feet, though.
17:17Oh, headbutt!
17:19Headbutt!
17:28Oh, there's the counter.
17:36He has him.
17:40Oh, and he's digging right into those ribs, Kev, as well.
17:43Look, look.
17:43Hey!
17:44Right where that bruise is.
17:45He knows what he's doing.
17:48Georgie, oh, no!
17:50Now.
17:50Oh, he's just stretching them out.
17:53If he can't see the ropes, he's trying to feel for them.
17:59He cannot find escape.
18:02Oh, no, Zack got his arms still.
18:04Look at this.
18:05And now deep in the center of the ring.
18:06Look at this twist here.
18:08Got the legs laced.
18:14Oh, he don't let him get that arm.
18:22He's going to have to verbally submit, or he's going to split back.
18:28He actually has no choice.
18:30My God.
18:31Zack Sabre Jr. is in the playoffs, folks.
18:34He earned the chance.
18:59That's five wins in a row against a former G1 champion.
19:043rd most all-time tournament wins.
19:2410 points.
19:2610 points.
19:295 and 2.
19:47He is in the playoffs, folks.
19:50He is in the playoffs, folks.
19:51He is in the playoffs, folks.
20:01And he's going to celebrate with the people.
20:05Like you said, Gabby's been at the doorstep for years.
20:10Finally got in.
20:17Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
20:42Well, he's got a host of adversaries at the wake.
20:45Now the question is, will he face...
20:48Okay, I gotta remember.
20:51Give me my score sheet here.
20:53While you're trying to remember, let's also show a lot of love and give Flowers to Godo.
20:58That man fought with unbelievable heart this whole entire tournament, folks.
21:03Early on in the tournament, looked like he broke his ribs.
21:07Looks like he may have broken his back early in the tournament
21:10and kept fighting through all the way to the end.
21:19Sports, folks, we talk about momentum.
21:22You have one of my favorite teams, the New York Giants.
21:25Hell yeah!
21:25Every time they won the Super Bowl, they had momentum going in to the playoffs.
21:30It looks like Zach Saban may have that as well.
21:35He's in the playoffs, and that's all anybody cares about.
21:40Now Naito playing for the top seed with a win here.
21:43C'est parti !
