00:01La fin à la fin du jour...
00:04Le déjeuner le maîtrice de la Nouvelle-Japan Cup Tournament est le premier déjeuner de la Nouvelle-Japan Cup Tournament.
00:08Le déjeuner un match pour le déjeuner de la Nouvelle-Japan Cup Tournament.
00:30Alors, peut-être qu'il va être en train de rejoindre.
00:31Oui, le commentaire de taichu.
00:35Et, oh boy, est-ce qu'il n'y a pas de mieux que le joueur d'une de cette
00:39fois-ci depuis le mois que David Finley et Zack Sabre, Jr. a fait.
00:53Alors, après l'incredible match que taichu et Zack ont eu l'air a l'air a l'air a
00:57l'air a l'air a l'air a l'air a l'air a l'air.
01:01Mais ils m'ont tellement d'avenir que je pense qu'il n'est pas pour être que toutes les
01:05deux tops de l'air.
01:09Et c'est quelque chose que nous allons parler à tout ce que nous allons parler de la vêtement de
01:12la fin de la fin de cette année.
01:13Mais David Finley a été poné au 1 point et 1 point on.
01:17Je ne sais pas commentaire à me faire un BULLET CLUB B.S.
01:21Je suis le leader et à l'être le nouveau JPman cutup et à l'IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.
01:26C'est ça. David Finlay est en train de faire le reste de ça
01:29et permettent les dogs de la maison à se battre entre eux-mêmes.
01:33Je veux dire, c'est smug.
01:36Il est le plus de la finale de personne dans le monde.
01:39En War Dogs ou House of Torture.
01:42Tu vois qu'il y a un petit peu de nouvels, un petit peu de nouvels.
01:47David Finlay est only engagé dans le «House of Torture » sénanique.
02:20Sous-titrage Société Radio bez
02:21Et on by David Finley.
02:27Il y a des beaver balls sur les chaquettes.
02:47Tu vois les ?
02:48Je vois les.
02:51Qu'est-ce que j'ai eu de l'autre ?
02:52J'ai des beavers.
02:56Je suis très, très upset par ce qui a été.
03:08C'est un peu qui ne va pas me.
03:10C'est Zach Sabre, Jr.
03:12P'il ouverte David Finley.
03:15Je pense que c'est ça.
03:16Je suis callin' ça.
03:17Je suis Zach.
03:18Je sais que vous avez votre histoire avec David Finley
03:21inside et outside le bullet book.
03:23Mais Zach Sabre, Jr.
03:25a date avec Destiny tonight.
03:27Two-time New Japan Cup winner,
03:29mais n'a jamais convertit a New Japan Cup win
03:32into a World Heavyweight Championship victory.
03:36Now that Zach has proven
03:37he can be IWGP World Heavyweight Champion,
03:40the confidence is back.
03:42And a third New Japan Cup win
03:44will bring them a World Heavyweight title.
03:47You can guarantee it.
03:48c'est le front man.
03:49Zach Sabre, Jr.
03:53But if Zach wants to get to Hiroki Goto
03:56now confirmed April 5th, 2025
04:00and Ryogoku for Sakura Genesis
04:02he has to get through David Finley tonight.
04:18You know, as we get into the opening of this matchup,
04:21we're gonna talk about the things throughout this tournament
04:23that have worked for and worked against both men.
04:30as we are live tonight in Twin Messe Shizuoka.
04:33My name is Walker Stewart.
04:34I'm alongside El Phantasmal.
04:36And it is the semi-final for New Japan Cup 2025 kicking off.
04:43You can instantly feel that the crowd here
04:47is way more into it than they have been all night.
04:51They're excited for this main event.
04:53You're right, it's the importance of
04:54in the semi-final New Japan Cup matchup.
04:56Zach Sabre, Jr.
04:58has fans all across every single prefecture
05:00in this country and all around the world.
05:03And David Finley, well, has never been one to,
05:07within recent times, be the fan favorite.
05:10The shift within the War Dogs,
05:13the focus now against House of Torture,
05:15well, David Finley isn't focused on any of it.
05:18Don't push.
05:19Don't push.
05:21This is wrestling and I can't push.
05:24Finley's got a point.
05:25You can push in wrestling.
05:27Uno with another brilliant call telling Finley
05:30not to push.
05:33And we talk about the things that work in the favor
05:35of both of these men.
05:36It puts them on even footing.
05:37Both men having had first-round buys in this tournament,
05:40did not have to compete in round one.
05:43Zack Sabre, Jr.
05:44And David Finley have wrestled in equal amount of matches,
05:46both preview and round matches in this year's tournament.
05:50I guess Shota also had a buy, too.
05:52Yes, you're right.
05:52Which would make Shingo.
05:54Takagi also had a buy in this year's tournament.
05:56Oh, he did.
05:56Yes, he did.
05:57I think we've got to get rid of the buys because,
06:00yeah, obviously one less match you're going to feel better
06:02and perform better.
06:07I think the real difference maker when it comes to the pass
06:10for New Japan Cup.
06:11And, oh, that's going to be something we get into deep
06:13with David Finley in just a moment.
06:15But through this year's tournament,
06:17Zack Sabre, Jr. has wrestled a much longer stretch
06:21within the matches than David Finley has.
06:24Finley has put an emphasis on putting things away quickly.
06:26Meanwhile, Zack Sabre, Jr. went nearly 25 minutes with Taichi
06:30just yesterday.
06:31Yesterday.
06:32Yeah, I mean, Zack is the hardest working man in show business.
06:35On his days off, he flies to the States to wrestle GCW.
06:39Yes.
06:40Hardcore matches and then fly straight back
06:42and start the New Japan Cup where David Finley
06:45is at home with his baby who he couldn't care less
06:48if it's alive or not, apparently.
06:53You know, there was a belief with the silence of David Finley
06:56from the time of the Tokyo Dome to New Japan Cup this year
07:00that he was mourning a loss.
07:02And, yes, it was mourning the loss, so he says,
07:04of that Global Heavyweight Championship.
07:06And, well, I'm very intrigued to see if David Finley
07:09were to walk away with the win here tonight,
07:11find himself in the finals, win New Japan Cup.
07:14Who's to say David Finley?
07:17Whoa, wow, nice.
07:18Who's to say David Finley wants to challenge
07:22for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship directly?
07:25Maybe he uses a shot at Yota Tsuji in the Global Heavyweight title.
07:29That title means more to him than any.
07:34I never thought about that.
07:36Oh, well, it's a broadcast that will get you thinking.
07:39David Finley, of course, may have all the intention
07:43of winning the top prize in this sport.
07:47Finley doesn't consider that Global Heavyweight Championship that,
07:51keep in mind, he birthed, he brought it into the fold here in New Japan.
07:54He didn't consider it a placeholder.
07:57But Finley does believe that any championship that belongs to the
08:01Rebel Savior is automatically the top title in the sport.
08:04Yeah, fuck that line.
08:05Yeah?
08:05Yeah, fuck that line.
08:06I was gonna tell you a mate.
08:07I don't give a shit.
08:08Well, I was just gonna say, Finley needs to get a new game plan
08:12because you're not gonna out-wrestle Zack Sabre Jr.
08:15You need to turn this into a scrap.
08:17You need to turn this into a brawl, a fight.
08:22If Finley can do that, I think he's got a chance.
08:25But to out-wrestle Zack, you've got no chance.
08:29That was something that we saw Taichi attempt 24 hours ago
08:32against Zack Sabre Jr.
08:35Both men going nearer, a little over 25 minutes in that time limit.
08:40Speaking of which, there is no time limit in New Japan Cup,
08:42not tonight even.
08:44We have to have a winner.
08:46One of these two men will face Shingo Takagi or Shoto Umino
08:50on March 20th at Danakaoka.
08:54Oh, nice uppercut.
09:00David Finley all throughout the last six months of his career
09:04has been on a revenge tour.
09:06Avenging losses from G1 Climax.
09:09Avenging losses from last year's New Japan Cup.
09:12You said it yourself earlier on, LP.
09:15David Finley never lost a match in New Japan Cup last year.
09:19But he might right now.
09:20He might find himself well to that bottom rope.
09:26It was a medical incident that eliminated Damon Finley from last year's New Japan Cup.
09:31That was a New Japan Cup that was Finley's to win, so he says.
09:37And this year's is his to lose.
09:41That is if things go the way of Zack Sabre Jr., we could see that.
09:46Oh, and this is Finley, I mean, spiked in right here.
09:49Oh, no, no, no, no.
09:50Oh, the blood rushing to the head of Finley.
09:53Took the focus off the hand.
09:54Oh, Dave!
09:56Oh, my gosh!
09:59Yeah!
10:00Yeah!
10:02Yeah!
10:03Yeah!
10:04Yeah!
10:05Yeah!
10:05Yeah!
10:05You know, as much as fanfare has been on the side of the War Dogs recently, LPM,
10:09I think we've reestablished many times throughout the past few weeks or so, David Finley is not a good man.
10:15David Finley is a selfish individual.
10:17He only serves for his own purpose.
10:22He is a piece of shit.
10:25A piece of shit garbage human who happens to be a fantastic wrestler.
10:30Right, and that's the frustrating part about it, isn't it?
10:33David Finley has professional wrestling in his blood.
10:36He's a fourth-generation wrestler.
10:38You can count the amount of fourth-generation wrestlers maybe on both hands throughout the entire world.
10:44David Finley is a part of that bloodline.
10:46It's a bloodline that he has rejected.
10:50As well, it's not just what he's rejected within the Finley name.
10:56Rejection of these people.
11:01And yet it is all self-motivating for Finley in this New Japan Cup.
11:06I mean, he's definitely not cool.
11:10But Finley is, hands down, one of the strongest men in wrestling.
11:14Which is something you wouldn't...
11:16Just look at the way Zek bounces off that pad.
11:20Finley effortlessly throwing them, but...
11:25He has, like, dad strength.
11:27It's something, you know, his grip strength, his power.
11:34And if you look at him, he doesn't look like he's strong.
11:37Right.
11:37Yeah, it's something we've talked about a little bit recently, that deceptive strength.
11:41David Finley has, obviously, a well-in-shape, put-together athlete.
11:48Does not have the definition of other members of this roster, per se.
11:52But, God, he will match them on the power game.
11:56And that's how David Finley decimated, took apart, tore limb from limb, Yuya Uemura, in the quarterfinal yesterday.
12:13Zach firing back with some big uppercuts.
12:15Get Strapa an even bigger one from Finley.
12:18C'est parti.
12:32You can hear Zach gasping for breath already.
12:40Already a history of abdominal issues in her muscles being damn though for Zack Sabre Jr.
12:47Il n'est pas aujourd'hui aujourd'hui à 100%.
12:50Non de nous sommes, n'est-ce pas ?
12:52Non de nous sommes, mais...
12:54Zach Sabre, vous pouvez dire qu'il n'est-ce pas.
12:57Après l'at-war, avec ses partenaires, Taichi.
13:02Finlay est à 85%.
13:03Zach doit être à 70%.
13:07A disadvantage de 15%
13:09d'être plus tired et beat-up.
13:11Il n'est-ce pas !
13:15Mais si quelqu'un qui peut faire ça,
13:17avec une petite petite submission,
13:19c'est le master des Techers.
13:27Les deux ont faits d'offre une fois avant.
13:30Battle Autumn 2022,
13:32très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très, très.
13:43Et while Zach does have that win
13:45in the back pocket
13:46over David Finlay
13:47from 2022,
13:48that's not at all
13:49on the mind
13:50of the Rebels' savior.
13:52It is tunnel vision
13:52inside that ring,
13:53the path to glory
13:54here tonight.
13:55You could almost call him
13:56a completely different person
13:58from now,
14:00from that last match.
14:06See Zach holding his ribs there.
14:12And even with the abdominal injury,
14:16the rib weakness,
14:17he will attempt the power game,
14:19knows that that's not going to work.
14:20Trying to take it technical.
14:22Power wins out in the end though,
14:23for David Finlay.
14:26Unbelievable strength.
14:29to then also pick him up
14:30and then drop him on your knee,
14:33which, you know,
14:35could damage your knee.
14:36If your knee's not in the right position,
14:39you can hyperextend your knee
14:40just by dropping
14:42a 200 plus man
14:44on your knee.
14:45Right.
14:45I mean, this entire Spore LP,
14:47you know this better than anyone,
14:48is built off of self-sacrifice.
14:51We do what we do
14:53to win championships.
14:55To earn the pay window.
14:58Zack Sabre Jr. has been there before.
15:00He's won New Japan Cup before.
15:02David Finlay has to do something
15:03he's never done
15:04to do something he's never done.
15:07Beats Zack Sabre Jr.
15:08to win New Japan Cup.
15:13Right on that area
15:14that Zack's been grabbing all match.
15:17That lower left side rib cage.
15:22Great work by Finlay there.
15:26Man, this is not gonna work
15:27to the favor of ZSJ.
15:29David, boom!
15:31Wow!
15:33Commentary curse right there.
15:34Zack Sabre Jr.
15:36sidestep right out of the way
15:38and well it is now
15:39in the favor
15:41of the former world champion.
15:44I don't like the look
15:45in Zack's eyes right now.
15:48This is not his wheelhouse.
15:50He's fighting on the outside
15:52to actually get it back in.
15:53He's got something in mind.
15:58Whoa!
16:00Spoke too soon, it pays off.
16:08A huge running dynamite drop kick
16:11on the outside.
16:13It's big fire out of Zack Sabre Jr.
16:16And it's that same fire and drive
16:18that took him
16:19to multiple New Japan Cup victories.
16:25I don't know why Red Shoes
16:26isn't counting them out.
16:29Well, Red Shoes knows
16:30we have to have a winner tonight.
16:32David Finlay has already advanced
16:34in one match through a count out.
16:36Would not mind doing so again.
16:37Any path to glory
16:38that must be taken.
16:41As a cover here for ZSJ.
16:44And it is Zack at 2.
16:59He's got control on the face.
17:03Wrestling the match she wants to.
17:08David Finlay will try and keep things in his control.
17:11What an overkill instead.
17:12Roll through, shoulders down.
17:14And it has both been up and out.
17:17Sabre Jr.
17:18So many times we've seen this.
17:21This is going to take away a lot of the power game
17:23for David Finlay.
17:25It's a staple hold for Zack.
17:30Yeah, you almost want to get Finlay to the ground
17:33so he doesn't do that.
17:34Oh, Finlay, hot shot, off the top.
17:38Now watch it all the way up.
17:40Power bomb!
17:44Yeah!
17:46All the power goes.
17:48He's not done.
17:49And now, Zack up!
17:51Zack, back up!
17:52Zack, back up!
17:53Zack, back up!
17:54That's it!
17:55Oh, see, the children would have followed gravity.
17:58Follow memento.
18:00Make the cover on Finlay.
18:04But there just wasn't enough left.
18:07It's that left side, Walker.
18:09It's bothering him.
18:10There you go!
18:12There you go!
18:18Zack's got to get up.
18:20Catch his breath.
18:22Keep this momentum going.
18:23You can kind of feel we're at the finish line.
18:27It almost feels like that one next big move.
18:31Sends them straight to the Finals.
18:49That's something we saw yesterday.
18:52Maybe looking for that Gotch-style piledriver.
18:54Yeah, from Carl Gotch to Minoru Suzuki to Zack Sabre Jr.
18:58Oh!
19:02Oh!
19:02Oh!
19:03Oh!
19:04Oh!
19:04Oh!
19:05Oh!
19:07Oh!
19:12Oh!
19:19Oh!
19:30Who's on the one left, a hammer?
19:32Oh, y'know here?
19:32He's going to get back up here tonight.
19:35uma,s that's great!
19:42Oh!
19:42Il n'y a pas de let go, il n'est pas de let go.
19:45Il n'y a pas de let go.
19:47Finlay, Finlay, regarde, c'est ça, c'est ça, et c'est ça, un cover.
19:50Oh, un autre pour Zach, pas de l'œuvre.
19:54Il est en fait.
19:56Oh, regarde, c'est ça.
19:58Finlay.
19:59Wow, l'ampleur de l'œuvre.
20:02C'est incroyable.
20:03Mais c'est pas de l'œuvre.
20:04Mais c'est pas encore pour le Finals.
20:07Not yet.
20:09Zach, c'est still in it.
20:18The front man has a date with his destiny,
20:22and that destiny is Ryu Goku
20:25to reclaim his IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
20:29The same place that he won it back in October.
20:33Here we go, Finlay for the ride.
20:36Oh, oh, I think he's got a choke.
20:37You're right.
20:39Sabre Jr.'s elevated by Finlay here.
20:42And Sabre Jr.'s got the sleeper in.
20:47We're switching it.
20:49Yeah, that is.
20:49We've got a triangle.
20:51That is perfect for Zach Sabre Jr.
20:53They couldn't write a better game plan.
21:00Oh.
21:01Uh-oh.
21:02Uh-oh.
21:02Finlay's fading.
21:03Couldn't get the power.
21:05Uh-oh.
21:05Uh-oh.
21:05You're right about that.
21:06David Finlay now.
21:09Look.
21:09I told you.
21:10He just makes up moves.
21:11He's got like an ankle lock arm bar.
21:20Finlay doing everything in his power to find that bottom rope.
21:24He's not gonna be able to grab it.
21:25Not from this position.
21:28Who knew better check him?
21:29He might be out.
21:30Tied into the pretzel right now is the savior.
21:33And saving himself is the only thing that matters for David Finlay.
21:47What is it gonna take for either of these men to secure a spot in the finals?
22:03Zach's just clobbering him with kicks.
22:07Yeah.
22:07Finlay.
22:11My oh my.
22:12The spear.
22:13And once again, LP.
22:15Once again, where does Zach grab on his body?
22:17Right to the left side of the ribs.
22:21Yeah.
22:26Yeah.
22:28Yeah.
22:29Yeah.
22:29Yeah.
22:29Yeah.
22:29Oh my.
22:31Zach Saber.
22:32Looking for the roll up.
22:33Oh.
22:34Oh.
22:35Oh.
22:36Oh.
22:36Oh.
22:36Oh.
22:37Oh.
22:37Oh.
22:37Oh.
22:38Oh.
22:39Oh.
22:42Oh.
22:42Oh, oh.
22:44Oh, oh.
22:46C'est encore un 5 minutes, mais pour combien de temps ?
22:49C'est Zach Klassik !
22:56C'est un peu l'action !
23:00David Trimbley !
23:02Oh !
23:04Look at it !
23:09Finley !
23:09Je peux pas, Zach !
23:10Je peux pas, je peux pas !
23:12Je peux pas, je peux pas !
23:13Still alive !
23:18Zach Sabre Jr.
23:20Just sent into oblivion,
23:21and he's come out the other side of the gate !
23:30Gato screaming ringside for Finley to finish him !
23:36The longer this goes, the more advantage
23:38I'd say it's in Zach's side !
23:41Finley !
23:42Up and over !
23:43Oh !
23:44No !
23:44Sabre !
23:45Fuck you Gato !
23:46Oh !
23:47Oh !
23:48Oh !
23:49Oh !
23:52Defiance will not win, Zach Sabre Jr. this match-up !
23:58He has to out-wrestle !
24:00Oh !
24:01Oh !
24:01Oh !
24:07Oh !
24:08Zach looks at Taichi !
24:10Feeding off the people !
24:12You're right !
24:12Zach does!
24:13Speed off these people !
24:17Because these people love throat wrestling !
24:21It's in the blood !
24:23Sabre Jr. now smells it in the water !
24:26Oh !
24:26Well Finley to his feet !
24:27Wow !
24:28Rolls through !
24:29Finley !
24:30Finlay !
24:31Non, non, non, non !
24:35Finlay's got it ! Finlay's to the final !
24:411, 2, 3, 4, 5 !
24:44Wow, I'm sweating !
25:09David Finlay is one step closer to vindicating himself,
25:16to righting the wrongs from the last calendar year.
25:20In the New Japan tournament tournament tournament,
25:22David Finlay's勝利 !
25:30There is no medical stoppage for David Finlay.
25:34This tournament belongs to the hands of the Rebel Savior.
25:45That was just an unbelievable sequence of reversals.
25:49Zack going for the Tornado DDT.
25:51Finlay rolling through.
25:53Zack countering Finlay's attempt.
25:55Finlay flipping out of the Zack driver.
26:00I mean, let's say this, it easily could have been either man here tonight,
26:04but we will only be hearing from one Rebel Savior, David Finlay.
26:17You can call Zack Sabre Jr. many, many things.
26:22You can call him a two-time New Japan Cup champion.
26:27Yep.
26:28You can call him the 2024 G1 Clamax champion.
26:32Yep.
26:33You can call him the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.
26:38Hell, you can call him the best tournament wrestler in the world.
26:42Mm-hmm.
26:43But one thing you cannot call Zack is better than me.
26:55I hate him when I got some points.
26:57I am winning this whole damn cup because hate always finds a way.
27:02But two times...
27:07You're the best one of the biggest champion of the world's heavyweight champion and all the heavyweight champion.
27:16You got a strong้fen weapon champion of the world's heavyweight champion.
27:18You got to win in the world's heavyweight champion.
27:18You got to win the New Japan Cup of the world's heavyweight champion.
27:21You got to win, you got to win, you got to win a win.
27:24Well, Gato says that Zack Sabre Jr. may be a former World Heavyweight Champion.
27:29Jenova, Everton, I need a rebel, New Japan need a rebel, and the world need a rebel.
27:41But it is Ghetto tonight that tells us David Finlay will stand opposite Hiroki Goto
27:50in a revisit from their G1 Climax battle in the main event of Ryugoku Sumo Hall.
27:59But LP, it is on David Finlay to prove that to be the case, already through to the final,
28:05but now has to overcome either Shota Umino or Shingo Takagi.
28:10Neither of those men is not an easy path to Ryugoku.
28:17Finlay, Shota, Finlay, Takagi, both those matches, mama like it.
28:25I feel great, I'm in the final. I'm in the final. I feel unstoppable. I feel untouchable. I feel invisible.
28:34God, you gotta, you gotta give him, you gotta give him credit.
28:38That was one hell of a performance against one of the best wrestlers in the world, Zack Sabre Jr.
28:44And as Finlay said, maybe he is better than Zack Sabre.
29:08He is up against David Finlay, March 20th, the final for New Japan Cup 2025. The winner of that,
29:13faces up against Goto, April 5th, Ryugoku Sumo Hall, the IWGP World Heavyweight title on the line.
29:20For El Phantasmal, I've been Walker Stewart. We are on route now.
29:24Once again, the Savage King makes it to the finals.
29:27You know, last year's tournament, I never got eliminated. I never got beat.
29:32No, no, no, I had swelling in my neck, trapping the blood in my arteries, not getting enough blood to
29:37my brain, but this year I am 100%.
29:42Matter of fact, a couple months ago, I beat the current World Heavyweight Champion in front of his children.
29:48A couple minutes ago, I beat the former World Heavyweight Champion.
29:53That doesn't just make me the Savage King, that makes me the Uncrowned King.
29:59So whoever's next, whoever wins the next semifinals, it really doesn't matter,
30:04because quite frankly, nobody can stop me from getting to Goto.
30:10So Goto, count your days as champion.
30:13Kiss your kids, go visit your father's grave.
30:15Let them all know you're about to disappoint every single one of them, because I am coming for you.
30:46That goes forward.
30:52...
30:57Which means theX?
31:00Oh God.
31:03Fine, here's.
31:04He goes away.
31:06Let me just see.
31:07Thanks for the quality of the adapter here.
31:08Well, it's our boss such a flat.
31:08Merci.
31:38Merci.
32:08Merci.
32:43Merci.
