05:31Il y a très peu de buildings dans le monde
05:34que Tanahashi peut entrer dans.
05:37Même Tanahashi est surpris dans les jeers que c'est entendu.
05:40Mais ce pourrait être fait dans ce que vous vous avez dit, Rocky.
05:44Le fait
05:47que c'est pas recevoir cette encouragement,
05:51c'est peut-être pousser Tanahashi a plus duré.
05:53Il peut être manufacturé cette situation
05:56de manière à la situation de faire.
05:58Juste à un peu plus duré.
06:01Tu es que Tanahashi est que smart.
06:04Si tu n'as pas un chien sur le dos, tu manufacune une.
06:07Oui, on a fait le fait le fait.
06:09Oui, on a fait le fait.
06:12Nous savons que le fans' allégiense
06:14dans ce match.
06:16Maintenant, qui sera le résultat.

13:38pour Sonata, et Sonata a juste wiped out Tanahashi,
13:43et il me semble que l'Ace est allé à avoir son travail cut out for her.
13:48C'est sonata qui a fait sonata,
13:56c'est ce qu'il y a la différence maker dans ce match.
13:59Je me suis dit à l'heure dans le dropkick exchange,
14:01dans l'oeuvre de la match.
14:03Sonata a, je dirais, un 3.4 step de l'avance.
14:07On Tanahashi, Sonata was up to his feet, as Tanahashi was up to his knee.
14:13And I mean, that's the youth that's on Sonata's side.
14:17Absolutely.
14:18And that is the years of wear and tear on Tanahashi's side that slows him down.
14:27That's not to say that Tanahashi is slow, but Sonata.
14:31Just a step slower than Sonata.
14:34Yeah, in a game of inches like pro wrestling is.
14:36Wait a minute now, Tanahashi.
14:38But here is where he has the edge.
14:41And the dragon screw leg whip as Sonata is coming in.
14:46Constantly staying a step ahead, mentally.
14:52Mentally and bringing on the ire of the crowd here in Nagaoka.
14:58There have been occasions in Tanahashi's career where the crowd has been against him, believe it or not.
15:04And he's been quite comfortable as the provocateur.
15:08Yes.
15:10Rare occasion indeed.
15:12But that's what we're seeing here in this semifinal match.
15:15Tanahashi up to the middle.
15:21Crushing senton, but again two, important to note, no impact on his knees off the middle rope.
15:29Yep.
15:32And Sonata, as has been well mentioned,
15:36a student, a protege of Keiji Muto.
15:38He knows all too well the danger, Sling Blade, Dragon Screw imposes.
15:44And there we see drop kick to the knee.
15:50Tanahashi just faked Sonata out completely.
15:54Hits a dragon screw, and now Sonata with one of his own on the ace.
15:59Yes, Keiji Muto somewhere smiling.
16:04Tanahashi, Tanahashi, Tanahashi!
16:06For Tanahashi, winning the New Japan Cup is so important for many reasons.
16:13To say that he is still the ace, yes.
16:17To be the IWGP Heavyweight Champion again, yes.
16:22But for him to face Jay White, a man that he has yet to fully figure out,
16:30he's had so many problems against him so far, it means a ton to walk,
16:37to get the opportunity to walk into MSG opposite of Jay White.
16:43Two and two is the head-to-head record between Tanahashi and Switchblade Jay White,
16:46but the most recent one stings the worst.
16:51Springboard, sidestep, and now, single leg.
16:56Inverted Dragon Screw.
17:01And that seems to be the one that inverted Dragon Screw seems to
17:06always be right on target and seems to do the most damage.
17:09Well, it's because the opponent is laying flat on their back.
17:12They have nowhere else to go.
17:14So Tanahashi's entire body is putting pressure on that leg, and
17:20he's dragging it around, he's creating torque.
17:22Right.
17:22But that back is flat on the mat, so that has nowhere to go.
17:25He can't spin with it.
17:27And we saw Tanahashi there going for the Texas Cloverleaf.
17:30That's how he won his first round match with Shota Umino.
17:35And we've seen him employ it throughout the tournament to great effect.
17:40Sonata using that great core strength to get his body over to the ropes to force the break,
17:46but Tanahashi targeting that right knee, moving confidently.
17:52But look, tries, tries in vain to Sonata.
17:55Yeah.
17:56He scouted it, because that's another great move by his mentor, Keisha Muto, that Sonata tempted there.
18:04And he's paying the price now.
18:07Tanahashi has been waiting for that moment.
18:10And now he's got the Cloverleaf completely sunk in.
18:16And he's sitting back, bending Sonata's legs.
18:21His heels are closer to the back of his head than you could naturally make them.
18:29Yeah, the body not meant to move in that direction, not at all.
18:33But Sonata, incredibly strong.
18:37And I think because of the unorthodox way that Tanahashi got into the Texas Cloverhole,
18:42you can see his left arm isn't actually hooked under the heel of Sonata.
18:47And that allowed Sonata to break free and make this desperation crawl to the ropes.
18:51Well, he wants to break free, he wants to get to the ropes, but Tanahashi denies.
18:56Yeah, he's sitting down on it now.
18:59He's sitting down, but only has the toe, only has the toe of Sonata captured.
19:07It allows Sonata to change the leverage, it's like a seesaw.
19:13You can see how close Sonata is to the bottom rope to force the break.
19:19Man.
19:19Oh!
19:21Red Shoes Uno right there, asking Tanahashi to relinquish the hold, and he obliges.
19:29And Rocky, it's one thing to be in Sonata, be in the Cloverleaf.
19:35What's it like for Tanahashi to apply that hold?
19:38He's using a lot of energy, a lot of gas, and the tank is being used to keep that
19:45submission hold on the whole time to- And he's burning out the legs.
19:50Burning out the legs as well.
19:55Strain on the knees.
19:58Sonata breaks the grip, fires a forearm, first strike the match.
20:04He said this would be a wrestling contest unlike our other semifinal.
20:07But now, uh-oh, the other leg down, no, another fake out by Tanahashi.
20:19All the years of experience, the greatest weapon for
20:22Hiroshi Tanahashi in the ring is his mind.
20:31It's not a starchism with that uppercut, Tanahashi returns the favor.
20:39Heavy, heavy, heavy uppercut.
20:48Wow.
20:54Sonata.
20:57Got to watch that swat from Tanahashi.
21:00I thought Sonata had gotten the better of the exchange, but Tanahashi-
21:07There's the swat.
21:10Dragon suplex coming up.
21:16Sonata breaks free with the back elbows, charges in, up and over.
21:19Goes Sonata Skullin.
21:21So Tanahashi had his submission hold locked in for what seemed like forever.
21:27And now it looks like Sonata, if he can drop down and apply Skullin fully.
21:37Wait, wait, wait.
21:40Tanahashi manipulating his position.
21:43Twisted shout.
21:46And he holds on to the head of Sonata.
21:51Sonata holding on as well.
21:53More instinct from Sonata.
21:56Tanahashi has a game plan, a pair of twisted shouts.
22:01He could be looking for the trifecta there.
22:04Yeah, yeah.
22:04But Sonata, rope assisted, Sonata comes back with a counter.
22:16And maybe Sonata was lying in wait to be able to deliver that maneuver.
22:28Sonata moving a little uneasily on his feet.
22:37Tiger suplex, one, two, no.
22:44Both arms captured behind the back.
22:48Tanahashi had nowhere to go, but still was able to wheel his legs and
22:53kick out of the pinning predicament.
22:55You mentioned the legs, Sonata still unsteady on his.
22:59But now Skullin.
23:02Skullin, and is he gonna drop down and capture the body of Tanahashi?
23:10It might be a little early for that.
23:13Or maybe not.
23:17This is exactly how he was able to put away Minoru Suzuki.
23:21Yeah.
23:22Weaken him, diminish him with Skullin.
23:24And then head to the top and hit that Moonsault press.
23:28That Keiji Mudo style.
23:31Diving body press.
23:35And he's got Tanahashi right in the center of the ring.
23:39One, two, three.
23:40Couldn't have to get better position.
23:43Hey, hey, hey.
23:45What is that?
23:47Tanahashi is fading.
23:49If I was Sonata, I would switch onto my right hip, though, apply more pressure,
23:57and keep Tana farther away from the ropes.
24:00Reposition that bicep under the jaw.
24:02Boy.
24:02No.
24:03He sends him flat.
24:04He was going left because he was thinking Moonsault.
24:08Tana can't see it.
24:08Here he goes, Moonsault onto the back.
24:13Now, Sonata will try again, a second Moonsault.
24:18No.
24:20He's up inside cradle.
24:22Two, whoa.
24:25So close.
24:30Tanahashi continues to be one step ahead.
24:33Yeah, but Sonata landed full on Tanahashi's legs on the right knee of Tana.
24:41Good point, Kevin.
24:43Tanahashi had absolutely no counter other than to put his knees in danger.
24:54And whatever damage he avoided in the quarter files seems to be returned tenfold
25:01upon his knees here in the semis.
25:04It's the semi-final match between Sonata and Hiroshi Tanahashi.
25:08The winner will face Kazuchika Okada in the finals of the New Japan Cup.
25:14Both men slowed, getting to their feet.
25:18Tanahashi first, but Sonata right behind him.
25:21Tanahashi!
25:23Eats an elbow.
25:26Moonsault in the second, lands on his feet.
25:28It's a skull end.
25:30Wait, wait, wait, wait, another inside cradle.
25:33This one will do it.
25:36Sonata!
25:38Big left hand from the ace.
25:42That left hook across the jaw stuns Sonata.
25:46Lining up the sling blade.
25:47No, TK, no.
25:52Skull end of his own.
25:57Switching.
25:59Skull end dragon sleeper, now roll up here.
26:02Two.
26:03Sonata.
26:04Another great reversal.
26:10Sonata reversing the reversal.
26:13Ta-Nehisi was in dire straits.
26:21Here we go, here we go.
26:23Dragon suplex.
26:28You can see Sonata getting wide,
26:31putting his feet further wider than his shoulders, making it harder for
26:36Tanahashi to bring him over the top of the suplex.
26:39Now up and over the back, so athletic is Sonata.
26:47What a gorgeous reversal and it worked perfectly.
26:58Giant swim style skull end of Tanahashi.
27:05Reverse standing sling blade.
27:11He's gonna go for one more.
27:13Sling blade, got him.
27:16He will go to the cover, two, and a kick out.
27:22Will Tanahashi look for the first high flight flow of this New Japan Cup Tournament?
27:29He very well may need to.
27:33But it's so risky.
27:36The knees are damaged.
27:38Yeah.
27:42Content for the Dragon suplex.
27:46Sonata to his feet, waist lock, O'Kana roll, O'Kana roll.
27:51No, he puts the stop.
27:56Tanahashi blocked it.
27:58This is how he beats that saber.
28:00The rolling clutch, the rolling clutch.
28:03Yes, no, it's a skull end.
28:06Sonata blocked the Japanese leg clutch hold, and now he's got skull end.
28:14And a full, no application.
28:18Ankles are crossed.
28:20Body scissor is on.
28:23Dead in the center of the ring.
28:28Tanahashi is fading.
28:35And Sonata was skull end.
28:37He's got it over the eyes of Tanahashi.
28:40The only perception he has of the ropes is from instinct alone.
28:47Tanahashi though fighting out of it, fighting out of it.
28:50But Red Shoes is right there, and only ace of it.
28:53Sonata has done it, Sonata has done it, Sonata has submitted Hiroshi Tanahashi.
29:19A semi-final win for Sonata.
29:24A semi-final win for Sonata.
29:30And in the finals, it will be Kazuchiko Kata versus Sonata for all the marbles.
29:45Rocky Romero, your pre-match analysis was exactly right.
29:51We saw an amazing wrestling match, largely devoid of strikes.
29:57It was absolutely what you said it would be.
30:00Epic counter after counter after counter.
30:04And your winner, Cold Skull himself, Sonata.
30:11So now, Sonata will get his hand raised in the semi-finals.
30:17But will he get his hand raised one more time as Tanahashi is being helped out?
30:26Tana denied a New Japan Cup.
30:30Denied a rematch for the IWGP Heavyweight title against Switchblade Jay White.
30:36But Sonata very much alive.
30:38And one more to go.
30:40One more to go against Okada.
30:43And it's tomorrow, folks.
30:45Tomorrow's final, Okada versus Sonata, the New Japan Cup.
30:57And Kevin, as we mentioned after the conclusion of Ishii and Okada, at what cost?
31:03How much punishment did Sonata endure?
31:07He asked for the ice pack for his knee immediately after the bell roar.
31:14Crowd was solidly behind their man, Sonata.
31:18Crowd was solidly behind their man, Sonata.
31:28I want to say one thing.
31:29I want to say one thing.
31:32Can I do, uh, one thing?
31:40Everybody turn right, uh, turn on the light of your cell phone.
31:45Tenez le téléphone sur le feu.
31:49Ok.
31:52Je peux faire ça.
32:17J'ai envie de dire quelque chose.
32:21J'aime les mots et les mots.
32:26Mais je n'aime pas.
32:29J'aime les mots et les mots.
32:31J'aime les mots et les mots.
32:32J'aime les mots et les mots.
32:40J'aime les mots.
32:44Ashtah.
32:46Ashtah indeed.
32:49Oh, we can't wait.
32:54We will see Sonata tomorrow.
32:57Nagaoka will also see Kazuchika Okada.
33:00And we will see the conclusion to the 2019 New Japan Cup.
33:05Plus tomorrow we'll also see the IWGP United States Championship on the line.
33:11Choose Robinson defense against Chase Owens, Sonata and Okada for the New Japan Cup.
33:20And we will see you.
33:21Special 3pm Japan time tomorrow is our start for Rocky Romero and Excalibur.
33:28We will see you then everybody.
33:30The finals of the New Japan Cup.
