00:07G1 Climax B-Block
00:34Osaka is a hell of a town
00:35Yes
00:38But we've often talked about
00:41The kind of people it attracts
00:43The people
00:45That are drawn to it
00:47And the people that it is drawn to
00:51Not always
00:53Slaves to convention are Osaka
00:55Let's go baby
00:57They like
01:00The people
01:01Are a little off to the beaten track
01:04It's a rock and roll town
01:06And El Phantasmo
01:08Has lived his share of the rock and roll life
01:11And he's been through
01:12That's just the kind of journey
01:14That this town
01:16Loves to love
01:17And El Phantasmo loves to love Osaka
01:20But for
01:20As much as it's a love and love relationship
01:23The results have not come
01:27Perhaps until our main event
01:29Where it matters most
01:30Perhaps it has been because
01:33Of those relationships
01:35Outside of the ring
01:36This is the reason why
01:38This is the reason why
01:38He hasn't had
01:41The best in 6 Breaking Law
01:45At the best of 6 Springs
01:45The El Phantasmo
01:47Royale
01:49You know in buttoned up
01:52It's actually
01:54The most effective
02:07The best in 6 Jasmine
02:09The best in 6 Silence
02:13La chose que Osaka le aime, c'est un bon état d'un coup.
02:20Et ça serait un état d'un coup, comme Fantasma est, si il pouvait battre Will Osprey.
02:30Il est en train de ciment, dans mon opinion, avec sa勝é à Kazuchika Okada en Ocha City.
02:35La prefectural gymnasium.
02:41Cemented his position as the best professional wrestler on the planet.
02:52Nobody's beaten Osprey, or rather nobody's beaten Omega and Okada in the same month in singles matches, except for Will
03:03Osprey.
03:07From Forbidden Door 2, to the G1.
03:16But this is must win for the best.
03:20On the red corner, 4勝2敗, 8.8.
03:23United Empire, IWGP, US Heavy Food Champion, Jig, Aerial Assassin, Will Osprey.
03:35Well, a correction.
03:39El Fantasma has to beat Will Osprey.
03:42Will Osprey does not have to beat Fantasma.
03:45A draw benefits Osprey, but just like it was against Okada.
03:52I don't think this is going to go for 20 minutes.
03:55I don't think this is going to go for 20 minutes.
04:00The confirmation, if you win, you get second place.
04:06And the confirmation, win or draw, Osprey will go through.
04:15El Fantasma back against the wall, as it was in the midpoint of this tournament.
04:21He was down 0-3, and now 4-3, right?
04:27And Red Shoes alerting both the athletes.
04:30They know what is at stake as the bell rings.
04:3220 minutes on the clock.
04:33This is our main event.
04:45It's Osaka.
04:49And of course, El Fantasma has been a man without an island ever since being exiled from Bullet Club.
04:58But in retrospect, that was his own doing because Will Osprey had
05:04opened the door for Fantasma to join.
05:07Bullet Club joined Chaos at the time.
05:10But Fantasma Chris decided to take his own path.
05:14Yeah.
05:15And very successful member of Bullet Club under Switchblade Jay White.
05:20When David Finlay came in, El Fantasma.
05:24Certainly not taking kindly to Finlay.
05:26He thought he could stage a coup within Bullet Club.
05:30That didn't happen.
05:34And whoa, it's Fantasma and Osprey taking a hike.
05:39Oh, Osprey running halfway up the aisle.
05:50So when Fantasma was kicked out of Bullet Club, he had to deal, be a man without an island because
05:55of all the bridges he's burned.
06:02The LP's deciding that if he can tear this house down, well, so much the better.
06:13I remember asking Fantasma before he wrestled Okada.
06:17I said, you ready to, yeah, oh yeah, two points.
06:21Oh man, there's more than just wrestling two points with Okada.
06:26It's the same thing with Osprey.
06:29But the business of this match is the most important thing.
06:34On shot, here comes Osprey.
06:37Oh, ran right through it.
06:42And an aggressive plancha down on top of the shoulder that has been problematic this entire tournament.
07:12One thing that Will Osprey has that maybe El Fantasma doesn't.
07:19Oh, it's the brutality.
07:25Murderous killer instinct.
07:28And things start to get ugly.
07:34Will Osprey is more dangerous, in my opinion, than El Fantasma.
07:42And the backbreaker, they met at the beginning of last year's G1 Climax Tournament.
07:47Here's the cover and a kick out at one.
07:51And there's Osprey getting the win.
07:55And you've got to go back, Chris, all the way to 2019.
08:03And the Super J Cup.
08:04Yeah, when they were both junior heavyweights and Fantasma fresh into New Japan and Bullet Club
08:09seemed to have Will Osprey's number.
08:13Beat Will Osprey in Fantasma's first singles main event.
08:17Corcoran Hall during Best of the Super Juniors.
08:19Beat him again during Super J Cup.
08:28And Fantasma, to my point earlier, as he was in the face of a stern Will Osprey, his instinct was
08:36to get cute and go to the nipples.
08:39This isn't that situation.
08:41And Osprey just reminding him, Chris, this is the G1.
08:46That has been a theme tonight.
09:03That experience that Will Osprey has had against Kenny Omega.
09:10Yeah, winning, won back the IWGP United States Championship.
09:14But I think won so much more in terms of solidifying his view, his approach to professional wrestling.
09:22His position worldwide is the best in the world.
09:29And Osprey is wobbled.
09:31With some snug hits and clamp on the cravat.
09:37Trying to settle El Fantasma down and torque that neck and shoulder as well.
09:42Oh boy!
09:45Oh boy, oh boy!
09:47Oh, round and round of shoots!
09:55Oh boy, oh boy.
09:58horror Opel
10:04Il a l'air comme Fantasmo était au-delà de la porte de disaster
10:07quand il était capable de swinger son corps complètement autour
10:12avec Will Osprey.
10:14C'est le truc, c'est le truc, c'est pas juste qu'il est très vite, mais juste très
10:18vite.
10:18C'est pas juste la vitesse, mais quand on utilise.
10:21Et El Fantasmo utilise ça à exactement le temps avec le satellite DDT.
10:27Et il va continuer à venir.
10:38Et le side brush et le sweep.
10:42Forgo the cover to display some artistry as he goes to the second rope.
10:50Drop the elbow.
10:52Will Osprey credited the crowd of being in his corner in OTA
10:58when he defeated Kazuchika Okada.
11:01The crowd has been solidly behind Fantasmo here tonight.
11:06It's Osaka.
11:07They want an upset.
11:11Oh, man.
11:13And there's the suddenness from Will Osprey.
11:16Oh, man.
11:18Nobody does it better.
11:24So we're mindful of the time and the 20 minutes.
11:32Just their one singles meeting as juniors.
11:40Two different times they went past 20 and blindside shot.
11:53I guess luckily Chris Fantasmo tumbling out to the floor, but that just means Will Osprey's got something new to
12:04play with.
12:09That's why they call it High Risk and El Fantasmo looking for High Reward.
12:15Are you kidding me?
12:17Are you kidding me?
12:17Walking the road.
12:19Oh, got all of it.
12:21Oh, got all of it.
12:22You got all of it, amazing.
12:28You got all of it.
12:29and you got all of it. Spectacular
12:29and impactful. Listen.
