00:27〈あの日のあの道はどこへ続いていたんだろう?〉
00:53IWGPグローバルヘビー級王者デビッド・フィンデーに勝利決戦の地は神戸ワールド記念ホールそう最低な思い出の。
01:142018年、転倒してこけてけがしちゃったときは近場のお客さんは悲鳴なんですよ。遠くのお客さんは笑ってるんですよ。感覚は忘れられないですね。見てる人に認めてもらわなきゃいけないっていう一心だった部分があるんですよ。自分自身がすごいきつかったんですよね。なんか。
01:24思いとは裏腹の大失態。それでも。情けないかもしれないけどな、おい。それでもここで立ち上がってきたんだ。
01:39昔聴いてたバンドの行けるところを見に行ったんですよ。希望のような眼差しで見えたんですね。そのファンの方たちが。そういうものを与えられたらいいなっていうふうに思いましたね。そのとき。
01:55つまずいて気がついた。大切なのは人からどう見られているかじゃない。俺が何を見せたいか。俺が見せたいのはね。あなた方に見せたいのはね。明日ね。生きていく力。
02:09だから俺はあの道の続きを進む。デビューから16年。シングローズ初挑戦から10年。今だてにしたことのない光を目指して。
02:38フェリータイルのエンディング。でも、フェリータイルは現実ではない。ああ、もう一度同じ目に合わせてやろうかと。それにより現実ではない。それにより現実ではない。それにより現実ではない。あの白いベルトはずっとずっとあの人の色のままだ。てめえの色なんかじゃねえんだ。名前を買ってしまったんですけど。この白いベルトっていうのはやっぱり僕の心の中へ憧れはずっとあったので。
02:58なりたい自分がこの道の先で待っているから。アイダホルGPグローバルヘビー級選手権試合。挑戦者、ヨシハシVS王者、デビッドギンレ。
03:13デビッドギンレ。
03:15on chaos as he tried to interrupt a mugging on Kazuchika Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi,
03:22Yoshi Ashi, you saw it in that video just now, he tripped, he fell, dislocated his shoulder,
03:28bust his head wide open, was on the injured list for four months.
03:33I mean, not just the physical pain, not just the physical discomfort, but a trauma that
03:39will stay with him for the rest of his life. Humiliation. He heard the crowd, the fans
03:46closest to him scream and up in the cheap seats, the sound of laughter, but it was a turning
03:52point for him. He believes that if there is a God of professional wrestling, it was that
04:00God that shoved him off the ramp, that gave him the kick in the ass that he needed. And
04:07perhaps that deity may see tonight, the site of Yoshi Ashi's greatest humiliation, become
04:13the site of his greatest triumph. And finally, his first ever singles championship.
04:21And look who's with him, Walker. We've heard it, I said it before, almost a de facto tag match
04:30here tonight. Hiroki Goto held up his hand against Gabe Kid earlier on tonight and now,
04:36this unit, this Bishamon unit, together, here in our semi-main event.
04:42and make sure he's already a � är.拍
05:07the shot. Here.
05:09on the
05:10line of business, Hyper while even with a move in
05:11Iceland, Roger.
05:15YOSHIHASHIBA
05:51C'est parti !
06:18In the mind of David Finley, Yoshihashi has never become a singles champion
06:26because he does not have the makings of what it takes to become one.
06:30And while many have argued against that fact for such a long time,
06:35Yoshihashi himself saying it's all about time and place,
06:37and if anything is possible, well, it's possible tonight as well.
06:42And there's no doubt about that in the mind of Yoshihashi,
06:44but David Finley looks at a man like Yoshihashi,
06:47looks back at his fall in 2018 and sees the same man standing in front of him in 2024.
06:53Says, I'm wearing a nice suit to the press conference.
06:56That man has blue hair.
06:57David Finley is willing to go to these physical attributes of Yoshihashi
07:02to try and get inside the mind, anything to get inside the mind
07:05of who he calls a professional choke artist.
07:09And admittedly, Chris Charlton, Yoshihashi in the past when it comes to singles endeavors,
07:14he has never come up successful in title contention.
07:18David Finley has very accurate claims when it comes to those facts,
07:22and you may not like the way that he goes about it,
07:25but by God, David Finley walks in as IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion
07:29and every single intention to walk out just the same.
07:31The first Global Heavyweight Champion and the third Global Heavyweight Champion
07:34created that title out of the ashes of the IWGP US and UK Championship.
07:40It was that US Championship that was on the line two years ago.
07:44David Finley's first ever singles main event against Will Ospreay.
07:48And it was a breakthrough moment for David Finley,
07:52a coming out party, if you will.
07:54Finley said Kobe brings out the true essence of both of us, doesn't it?
07:58Proved that David Finley is a killer.
08:01Proved that Yoshihashi a buffoon.
08:03The third time IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion
08:16David Finley is a champion.
08:20The third time IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion
08:21The third time IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion
08:30is David Finley.
08:32is David Finley.
08:35I will say perhaps some similarities between David Finley and Yoshi.
08:39Jihashi on their championship paths, if you will.
08:43It was, in fact, here in Kobe, David Finlay won the Never-Operweight Six-Man Tag Team Championships,
08:48his first career championship in the Promptu match.
08:53And a lot of people thought, Walker, that David Finlay, a very effective tag team wrestler.
08:59Is he a singles guy? Is he a leader?
09:01Something that still, you know, I think the greater essence,
09:05these people that perhaps aren't watching, you know, New Japan Pro Wrestling on a regular basis,
09:10as we do, have this idea in the back of their head that David Finlay isn't the killer that he
09:15is,
09:16but he is everything that he says he is.
09:18And perhaps arguably more, that's what makes him such a dangerous and, quite frankly, scary individual.
09:24Well, I mean, historically, evolution has been a slow process,
09:27but for a man like David Finlay, professional wrestling, born in his blood,
09:30he is the man to beat in this matchup.
09:41You know what's funny, Chris, is, you know, us as statisticians,
09:44we would look at the 2-1 win-loss record between David Finlay and Yoshihashi,
09:49and maybe laugh at some of the claims David Finlay is making about his opponent here tonight.
09:53However, those two wins Yoshihashi has over David Finlay did not come at the expense of the Rebel Savior cover.
10:01Did not come at the expense of the Bullet Club leader.
10:03They came from a different David Finlay.
10:05That's not the man we see in front of us here.
10:07Well, and that's not the Yoshihashi that David Finlay is making fun of,
10:10as much as he can make light of it, you know what I mean?
10:13Through trauma, and that was such a great, a great, great interview that he did on YouTube recently, Yoshihashi.
10:21You know, through that trauma, trying to tap into himself,
10:24and Yoshihashi kind of feeling, you know, so many guys in this business feel the weight of expectations.
10:30I have to, pro wrestlers do this.
10:33You know, everything in wrestling is so prescriptive,
10:35thanks to, you know, I think some of the, well,
10:40less tasteful people within our community.
10:43Certain commentators might say wrestling has to be a certain way.
10:46You have to behave a certain way, and it took that trauma for Yoshihashi to go against that grifting philosophy
10:55and kind of say, no, I mean, like, once I can enjoy, once I can be a symbol of hope
11:00to the people,
11:01that's how he tapped himself into that strength.
11:03That's how he became Never 0.6 man and tag team champion.
11:07Look out.
11:08David Finley, it is pure, raw strength and aggression
11:11that brought him that global heavyweight championship as well
11:14that allowed him the hostile takeover over the Bullet Club
11:18become the leader of the Wardogs.
11:20I think you're right.
11:21I mean, both men had an epiphany of sorts
11:23in the last couple of years.
11:28One could almost say both of their epiphanies came through shoulder injury
11:33in a funny amount, you know, I mean,
11:35David Finley spent an awful long time on the shelf
11:41thanks to a shoulder injury sustained with a tag match
11:45with his then-partner, Juice Robinson.
11:49With all the differences, all the similarities,
11:52they all come to a head here tonight in our semi-main event.
11:54The fact is this, Yoshihashi has never faced against David Finley
11:58at his most dangerous, which is David Finley, right now.
12:01It is not David Finley of 2022,
12:04not of 2016 when they first met in singles action.
12:07It's now.
12:09Oh, and you're seeing it.
12:11The proof is in the pudding,
12:12and the pudding's on the shirt of Yoshihashi.
12:13Hammer throw there into the corner.
12:17Hit him, hit him, give up!
12:20Even Yoshihashi, you know,
12:21a little bit of vitriol for Ghetto,
12:24who was once such a key part of Chaos,
12:30turned his back on Chaos,
12:31turned his back on Kazuchiko Okada.
12:34Get over.
12:35Laughed in the face of Yoshihashi
12:37when he took that nasty fall back in 2018.
12:39He was right here at ringside.
12:40Remember it well.
12:49Even with the winning record,
12:51Yoshihashi still stands at a massive disadvantage,
12:54but it's not new for Yoshihashi
12:55to have to fight from underneath.
12:58The entire career of Yoshihashi
13:00built on the concept.
13:01Both men take it over the top.
13:04I mean, he's made a catchphrase of it.
13:07He lives by it.
13:09Everything can change in an instant.
13:12As long as he keeps believing.
13:16He's well, well used to
13:18having his back against the corner,
13:20having to fight against adversity.
13:21He should be here.
13:23He even failed the tryout
13:25to get into New Japan Pro Wrestling three times.
13:28Eventually got accepted
13:29because a couple of kids pulled out.
13:31Do you remember this?
13:33And yet, here he is.
13:35Got his first championship opportunity
13:37as a substitute
13:39thanks to an injury
13:41over the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
13:44That's why, you know,
13:45he said, I'd recovered mentally
13:48from being eliminated from the G1.
13:51I'd recovered by the time I got backstage
13:52because I knew I might have a chance
13:55to come my way.
13:56Oh, well, what is David Finlay thinking?
13:58I think, oh, oh, come on now.
14:03You see, obviously, attempting to poke fun
14:05to get inside the mind again
14:06with Yoshihashi, oh, nearly eating it
14:09for the second time in his career.
14:14Oh, we're battling up that faded ramp tonight, Chris.
14:18Oh, Finlay backing it all the way.
14:21It's a long way down for Yoshihashi here.
14:23Oh, hello.
14:24And it's Finlay.
14:25Finlay, no, no.
14:27Oh, no.
14:32And Yoshihashi with a suplex on that ramp.
14:36Well, perhaps the enemy of my enemy
14:37is my friend.
14:40Yoshihashi.
14:43A little bit reacquainted
14:45with that entrance ramp.
14:51It is David Finlay that seeks his second defense
14:54of the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship.
14:58Won the title for the second time
15:00back at wrestling.
15:01Dantaku and Fukuoka made fourth
15:03defeated Nick Demet.
15:04Defended once against Sonata
15:05back in Sopo.
15:06And you'll put all through this while
15:08David Finlay has constantly
15:10looked past Yoshihashi.
15:12He's had half an eye
15:14when Hiroki Goto.
15:15That's why he sent Gabe Kidd after Goto.
15:17It wasn't because of Jake Lee at all.
15:18Oh, look out.
15:19Yoshihashi.
15:21Yoshihashi.
15:21Going to run for it.
15:24Yoshihashi dropkick.
15:25And this time it's Finlay taking the tumble.
15:32And there's something just so sweet
15:34about Yoshihashi being the man to deliver it.
15:39Even David Finlay in his interview
15:41at njpw1972.com.
15:44Whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:44Chris, Chris, Chris.
15:46Oh!
15:49David Finlay, chest and skull collide
15:53with our apron here.
15:54And this is a sign of Yoshihashi.
15:57Normally Yoshihashi would have brought Finlay
15:59right back into the ring.
16:00There's no doubt Finlay pushed Yoshihashi's buttons,
16:03deserved every bit of that shot.
16:13It's instantaneous tonight.
16:15Yoshihashi!
16:18A little bit of killer instinct
16:20we rarely see from the headhunter.
16:27Here's another look.
16:29Oh, one more time.
16:30Bam, hard impact.
16:32Again on that shoulder.
16:33Previously damaged.
16:34Re-aggravated during G1 for Finlay.
16:38Yoshihashi from the top.
16:40Whoa!
16:43Blockbuster.
16:43Yeah, headhunter off the top.
16:45Cover here.
16:46And it's two.
16:50And now, look.
16:51I mean, he's going pedal to the metal here, Walker.
16:54He has consistent.
16:55Yeah, going for that butterfly lock.
16:59That's the in-ring IQ of David Finlay on display,
17:02by the way, right to the outside.
17:03You're right.
17:04You're right.
17:04But I think David Finlay has had to open his eyes now
17:07to Yoshihashi.
17:09Even in that interview on NJPW1972.com
17:11alluding to his issues with Switchblade J-White.
17:15Oh, yeah.
17:16There might be a match that people might want to see
17:18at Wrestle Kingdom or Wrestle Dynasty.
17:20I mean, Yoshihashi was the furthest thing down from his list.
17:24But right now, it's right at the top.
17:26Has to be.
17:27Let's go!
17:30Let's go!
17:31Let's go!
17:32Let's go!
17:33Let's go!
17:34Let's go!
17:35Let's go!
17:36Let's go!
17:36Let's go!
17:37Let's go!
17:38Let's go!
17:38Yoshihashi, the most sudden threat
17:40to the IAWGP Global Heavyweight title.
17:43Let's not forget how this all started, Chris.
17:45The last night of G1 Climax, it was what?
17:48Yoshihashi pinning David Finlay.
17:50Proving what?
17:51I can pin David Finlay.
17:53Oh, and Finlay.
17:56He put the brakes on.
17:57Did Yoshihashi pin it out on that?
17:59Man.
18:00Oh!
18:01Oh!
18:04Yoshihashi.
18:06avoided instant disaster, but Finlay thawed on his feet.
18:10Chris, as we talk about insecurity and a lack of confidence Yoshihashi may have in this building,
18:16knowing that you have defeated the Global Heavyweight Champion before,
18:19you can dissuade some of that.
18:21Well, I think, oh my goodness, I don't think he'll be thinking of much more after this.
18:27Yoshihashi tries to get low.
18:29Oh, no, no!
18:30Oh!
18:32Oh!
18:33Oh!
18:35Separating the shoulder blades of Yoshihashi is David Finlay.
18:40Let's look at it one more time.
18:41Here's your replay, folks.
18:43The power!
18:44Bam!
18:45And you're right, it was the shoulder right there.
18:50Give me two!
18:51Give me two!
18:55He is deceptively, I think, Walker, one of the strongest athletes in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
19:02I mean, you saw him do that to Jeff Cobb for crying out loud in the G1.
19:05Six, seven, eight, and this is perhaps right there on your screen,
19:13the difference making Gotoh trying to will Yoshihashi back in the ring.
19:18Very different corner men tonight between Gotoh and Gato.
19:23I doubt.
19:27The difference is Gotoh is going to inspire favor.
19:30Cover here for Finlay, and it's two.
19:32Gato on the meanwhile is going to be on the outside.
19:35What, barking orders to David Finlay, the so-called leader of the Bullet Club,
19:38taking orders from who?
19:40Oh, well, that's a sore subject.
19:42You see this sad, pathetic face?
19:45Still even to this day.
19:48A lot of speculation of, well, did David Finlay act alone?
19:52Will he deliver that shillelagh shot to Jay White,
19:55or was it Gato that was pulling the strings?
19:58It's always a string puller to the string puller,
20:01and David Finlay is pulling them on Yoshihashi here tonight,
20:04left, right, and center.
20:05And he's making him dance in a grotesque display.
20:11I don't think we need this.
20:17I mean, it's not often you see David Finlay go into these sort of tactics, but...
20:22I mean, it's, this is the rebel, this is this David Finlay Walker.
20:27Yeah, maybe the David Finlay of a couple of years ago wouldn't have gone to this.
20:30This is someone who is dis-demonstrably sick.
20:36This is the new, sick, with a propensity for violence.
20:42Oh, no, looking for a sequel.
20:43A sequel to the Kobe Fall in 2018, and it's David Finlay goes shoulder first.
20:59Shoulder first for David Finlay, and it's Yoshihashi here, Yoshihashi now.
21:03Oh, face first, shoulder first cover.
21:11Finlay is clutching at that left arm, and we've said,
21:15we've spoken so many times for both of these guys.
21:18Those shoulder injuries, they never fully heal.
21:21It's not at all.
21:22Oh, my God.
21:27That left shoulder injury was re-aggravated back to the tail end of G1
21:31climax of the match against Yota Tsuji.
21:39And let's not, for an instant walker,
21:43pass dispersions on David Finlay's work ethic in the year 2024.
21:48It's strong.
21:49The violent fights that he has been in, that he has put himself through
21:56against John Moxley and Will Ospreay in the Tokyo Dome
21:59in that dog pound steel cage match.
22:02Losing the championship to Nick Nemeth, winning it right back.
22:05Come on, Yoshihashi.
22:06And then again and again, and into the G1.
22:08Finlay wants a full schedule, and that takes its toll.
22:13Yoshihashi is the freshman man, I think I'd have to say.
22:16Oh, my God.
22:20Situations David Finlay has put himself in time and time
22:24again, some of the most dangerous matches.
22:28Let's go!
22:30Yota!
22:32Yota!
22:34Yota!
22:35Yota!
22:36Yota!
22:37Yota!
22:38Yota!
22:39Yota!
22:39Yota!
22:39Yota!
22:39Yota!
22:50Yota!
22:51He doesn't want to go.
22:52It won't go.
22:53And he's got to make him.
22:56Oh, look out.
22:57Karma might be a bitch for Finlay.
23:02Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
23:04Look at that!
23:05Oh, unreal!
23:07Right on the spine.
23:08The cover.
23:09Two.
23:099, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 11.
23:12So, then.
23:12Again.
23:12And that's the second huge display of strength
23:16On that bum, shoulder walker.
23:19Et il veut. Il a l'a fait.
23:22C'est le dominateur de David Finlay.
23:27Et c'est deux.
23:37Finlay, chaque un de ces mouvements,
23:39des impacts, des deux.
23:42Et la frustration, la frustration,
23:44c'est que Yoshihashi n'est pas encore fait,
23:46mais la frustration et la pain
23:48qui s'est construit dans son couloir.
23:50Et combien de fois ça va durer ?
23:52Ça va durer pour ça ?
23:53DDT de Yoshihashi.
23:56Et, Dieu, c'est le moment.
23:59C'est le moment.
24:00C'est le moment.
24:01Il a l'air d'envoire.
24:02Oh, une Côte d'Irish.
24:17Oh, c'est le moment.
24:23Oh, no, no, Guedot calling the play.
24:27Guedot calling the play, Walker.
24:29You can hear it.
24:29It's been that way for Finlay's career thus far.
24:32Oh, no.
24:32Oh, again.
24:34Face first for Finlay.
24:36Oh, this is how he beat him in New York.
24:38C'est parti !
25:09C'est un modifiant, presque un version de la film.
25:13Nelson cranks le nec, forward.
25:16Et Guido, on l'air.
25:17David Finlay, David Finlay, il y a la chillelle en hand.
25:21Et Goto, il y a Guido, il y a Guido, il y a Guido, il y a la chillelle.
25:26Il va à s'armer, il y a Yossi Ashii, il y a il y a la chillelle.
25:32Yes.
25:32Yes.
25:36David Finlay's last best hope to retain Walker just tossed out the ring.
25:41Goto has get on, Yossi Ashii has Finlay.
25:44And Finlay try as he might to make it that bottom rope.
25:48We could have a new Global Heavyweight Champion.
25:50How many times has Goto held away an opposition tag partner, just like we're seeing here?
25:58The Bishamon Bond might bring Yossi Ashi Global Gold.
26:02It's been made it.
26:04It's happening.
26:06All the believers, all the doubters, they all come together and
26:10conglomerate for this damn moment.
26:12Yoshi Ashi becomes champion, he can do it.
26:16Yes, and now I give him away the arm.
26:19It'll have to be verbal submission.
26:22And in pain, and he cannot control the bottom half.
26:32All the stars had aligned and seen for the moment.
26:38Wow.
26:38But God how tough is the Global Heavyweight Champion.
26:47There's a reason that David Finlay has no problem whatsoever
26:50placing himself in some of the most dangerous situations New Japan Pro Wrestling has ever seen.
26:55Oh, yeah!
26:55Oooo!
26:58przygot.
26:59Let's do it.
27:02Uh-oh.
27:03You're beatin' it.
27:04Get this bishamon up.
27:06Oh, yes, it's been up.
27:07Yoshihashi.
27:08Think he couldわか us.
27:09Oh, no.
27:10Dragon suplex, plat-ee-a!
27:13Puts down Yoshihashi.
27:14Hashi's up.
27:16Oh-ho.
27:17Aaaaaaah!
27:19Big match, Hash, here we go!
27:24Inside and out, goes Finlay, and now Kobe believe Walker, do you?
27:32It has to be proven here!
27:35Kouba got it, he's got it Walker, he's got it!
27:38Kouba got O'Shea, we have a new champion!
27:41No, no, no!
27:55I haven't seen this out of Yoshi-Hashi in years!
28:00You don't think Walker!
28:03It could be loose!
28:04The loose explosion!
28:07The cover!
28:09No!
28:13Yoshi-Hashi going deep into his playbook!
28:17Nothing deeper than the loose explosion for Yoshi-Hashi!
28:22Oh, go, Hennie!
28:24Come on, go, Hennie!
28:25Come on!
28:26Come on!
28:32And now, a roar of defiance against the odds!
28:36And...
28:37Coming!
28:38It's Cardinal!
28:40Kicks away the leg, here it is!
28:42It is!
28:45If it's gonna be anything, it's gonna be this!
28:47No, no, no, no, no, no!
28:48Anything can happen in an instant, Yoshi-Hashi!
28:51And Finlay, Finlay, against all his wrestling instincts!
28:56Here we go!
28:57Kouba!
28:59Counted right in to Prima Doctor!
29:05And Finlay!
29:06No, no, no, no, no!
29:07Back in dead!
29:12And backslide here for Finlay, brought right back out, third floor is here!
29:17And it's in to Oblivion!
29:20Take out!
29:21Take out!
29:22No!
29:26Kobe is coming alive tonight, and it's gonna take every single solid here for Yoshi-Hashi to become champion!
29:36Oh, but now, Finlay back in the driver's seat!
29:43Still Yoshi-Hashi!
29:45Not anymore!
29:48Rolls in the elbow, brings back Dopp, and it's the same song and dance!
29:54Powerbomb in, on the cover!
29:56Two, once, more!
30:03And damn everything that David Finlay said about Yoshi-Hashi in that press conference yesterday!
30:08Saying that he isn't champion material!
30:10This is the heart of a champion, Chris Charlton!
30:14And it's a heart that David Finlay may have one day!
30:17But this resilience is on another level for Yoshi-Hashi!
30:25He's taking a lot of time!
30:28If he can get overkill, it's over!
30:30Yeah, he is over!
30:32Caught it! Caught it!
30:33Oh!
30:33Come on!
30:34Come on!
30:35They got him!
30:36No!
30:40And a pop-up powerbomb for Finlay!
30:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
31:09So many times, especially over the last 12 months,
31:16that overkill has been just that.
31:19It's been a punctuation mark
31:23on an aggressive, declarative sentence.
31:30Walker, that was an overkill.
31:32No, it was not.
31:33It was necessary.
31:36That was what it took
31:38to put down Yoshi-Hashi
31:41and his prideful vest.
31:55Oh, wow.
32:00And over the body of a fallen friend
32:03steps, Hiroki Goto
32:05and steps up to the plate
32:08of the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion.
32:16Chris, you postured the question
32:18earlier on in the evening.
32:19Is David Finlay afraid of Hiroki Goto?
32:22And the answer remains,
32:23maybe.
32:24But one thing's for certain,
32:25Finlay is not going to show anyone,
32:27not going to show the world,
32:28not going to show his damn mirror
32:29exactly what his own thoughts are.
32:33David Finlay walks away
32:34with the win tonight, Colbert.
32:37This is my championship.
32:39This is David Finlay's championship.
32:46Savagery, yes.
32:48The strength and success
32:51in equal measure.
32:53David Finlay still
32:55IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion.
32:58And coming up next, folks,
32:59the IWGP World Heavyweight Titles
33:01on the line in our main event,
33:02Tenzinaito against Great Okan.
33:04Thank you.
