00:07We want to talk about an eagerly anticipated contest, Zach Sabre Jr. and Walter, two men
00:19tall in stature, but very, very different stylistically.
00:33You may not think of it, but the catch wrestling style employed by Walter, and then the British
00:41submission style employed by Zach, I mean, they're relatives, but they're not exactly the
00:47same.
01:07And Walter had very nearly put away the number one contender for the gorilla world championship
01:16title, Ricochet, last night, but Ricochet reversing the Sleemar rule.
01:21From the Isle of Sheppie in Kent, England, playing in at 13 and a half stone, and he will be
01:32dedicating this victory to Legion Larry, Zach Sabre Jr.
01:46Zach and Walter, two men that know each other very, very well.
01:52They've spent quite a bit of time in the same locker rooms and in the same rings on the European
01:59scene.
02:01I believe this is their first meeting on North American soil.
02:06It will be interesting to see how their past history plays into this match.
02:16Zach, of course, the former Pro Wrestling Girl World Champion, defeated by Chuck Taylor this
02:22past July.
02:27Zach trying to fight his way back to the top of the mountain.
02:30He advanced to the second round of the 2017 Battle of Los Angeles by defeating Jonah Rock,
02:35but his progress was stopped there by Phoenix, by Ray Phoenix.
02:40So, Zach hoping to get back to his winning ways, and Walter looking to pick up his first single
02:45victory here for us, really.
02:46They're coming just so, so close last night.
02:49Oh!
02:51Just tossing, tossing Zach across the ring.
02:58That headlock.
03:01Let's go, Walter!
03:04Let's go, Walter!
03:06Let's go, Walter!
03:08Let's go, Walter!
03:09Let's go, Walter!
03:09Let's go, Walter!
03:10Zach going after the knee of Walter.
03:12Let's go, Walter!
03:13This is, going after the knee of Walter.
03:15This where I think we'd find most of this match conducted, grit and grime on the calice.
03:19Oh, wow. Zach tried to clutch onto the knee of Walter to prevent the gut wrench, but Walter just too
03:26strong.
03:29Walter's always been a big fella, but perhaps not quite as strong as the man that Zach remembers.
03:37But stronger than the man that Zach remembers. Excuse me.
03:41Fuck you, Saber! Let's go, Saber! Fuck you, Saber! Let's go, Saber! Fuck you, Saber!
03:49And Zach, as you can see, has not, not really endeared himself to the crowd here in Reseda in 2017.
04:04Walter trying to, oh, yeah, there he goes. He's got the arm captured and just voiced him up and drops
04:15Zach flat on the canvas.
04:23Zach faces around trying to think of his next move here against Walter.
04:35Very methodical approach by both men, but Zach especially. He is one of the...
04:44Oh, look at this. Walter with the Greco-Rum and Knuckle Lock bringing Zach down to the canvas.
04:49Zach trying to reverse it on Walter. Oh, the kick to the, uh, to the outside.
04:54And left leg. Repeated kicks.
04:58And actually, that knee might still be feeling a little tender from Ricochet.
05:02All the work he was put into last night. Zach is breaking Walter down. Walter with a huge bridge.
05:11Zach trying to chop him down. Kicks.
05:16Walter pinning Zach. Zach nearly up in a huge bridge.
05:23Uh-oh. Could Zach endure this? How strong are his neck muscles?
05:29Oh, he just flatens him on. Two. Nope.
05:32Wow! What a bridge by Zach Saber, Jr.
05:38Zach making the weight of his feet. Oh!
05:42Oh! Just palm strikes to the chest of Walter. Walter, oh!
05:49Just lighting up. Zach like a Christmas tree with that chop.
06:03Big uppercut.
06:06By Walter, knocking Zach back down to the canvas.
06:12Oh! Absolutely obliterating him.
06:22Those chops are devastating.
06:25One more chop!
06:27One more chop!
06:28One more chop!
06:30One more chop!
06:31One more chop!
06:34There's only one person in this building that does not want to see another chop.
06:38It hit Zach, maybe Walter, because he actually bodyslammed.
06:43Another bodyslam hits the roof and runs in with a huge bonsai drop.
06:49Cover is hook of the leg, deep cover only two counts.
06:52Zach able to kick out, you can see him bicycling those legs.
06:55Trying to generate a little bit of momentum.
07:00Orton will roll back onto his shoulders and force the kick out.
07:08This is not a position we're used to seeing Zach in.
07:11He is an extremely dominant wrestler, but when there is such a profound physical difference,
07:18he has to kind of alter his style.
07:21Not always super easy for Zach to implement that holds-based style.
07:28He's got the side headlock for Walter.
07:31Yeah, he's resting very easily, makes his way to his feet and sets him off.
07:34Shoulder tackle.
07:35Walter just runs through the middle kick.
07:39And a shoulder tackle by Walter.
07:41Taking Zach off of his feet.
07:45Forcing Zach to reconsider his approach and his life, perhaps.
07:53Huge chop to the chest.
08:01Another chop on the outside.
08:06Walter was just a complete destruction of Zach Sabre Jr.'s chest with those chops.
08:18Now Walter bringing Zach around.
08:22The other side.
08:24Ow!
08:25Just knocking him back into the chairs, into the laps of the fans.
08:30Over him!
08:32Over him!
08:33Over him!
08:35Over him!
08:36Over him!
08:37Walter is clearing a pass.
08:40Whoa unto the man that does not keep the progress of Walter.
08:46Walter!
08:52Walter coming in to break the twenty count.
08:56Not sure Knox actually would've counted twenty but…
09:00tries to keep up the artifice.
09:03Oh, this is Zach, though, catching the arm of Walter.
09:07Walter got a little too greedy, allowed Zach a chance to recover
09:10as he went in to break the 20 count.
09:18Zach now laying in shots of Walter on the outside.
09:25Guys, just straight in.
09:27Kick him again, Zach, kick him again.
09:30Fuck you, Zach.
09:32Now, Zach, can't quite see it.
09:38Oh, stomping on Tommy and Walter.
09:40I can only imagine perhaps on the arm or the hand.
09:45You guys probably have a much better view than I do.
09:52Oh, Walter.
09:55Tremendous job just stopping Zach dead in his tracks.
10:01The gorilla presses Zach into the ring between the top and middle row.
10:14Walter just stalking.
10:17Zach Sabre Jr. now.
10:18Placing his boot on the throat.
10:21Oh, Zach trying to wrap up his knee.
10:25Although Walter, who is coming out, just repeated stomps.
10:29Zach very smart, though.
10:31Walter's going to stand on his chest like that.
10:33He's going to give you his foot like that.
10:36Why not?
10:37Try to get him in a leg lock.
10:51Zach getting up to his feet.
10:55And now just shoulder-checking Walter, and Zach just completely turned in, side, out.
11:05And undoubtedly regretting the life choices that led him to this very moment.
11:12Holy shit!
11:13Holy shit!
11:15Holy shit!
11:17Holy shit!
11:18What's that guy?
11:20Oh, a thunderous job.
11:25Did not quite take Zach off his feet.
11:27That one did.
11:30Zach off his feet.
11:31Oh!
11:33Oh!
11:34Oh!
11:34Oh!
11:37Zach with a low kick.
11:39Goes high.
11:40Goes for the sweep.
11:41Oh, look at this.
11:42The leg capture.
11:43Closed in front of the ankle lock.
11:44Walter immediately to the bottom rope, and Zach with a stop to the back of the head.
11:50Kicking the outstretched arm of Walter.
11:52And you can see Zach is completely winded after having all the breath repeatedly driven out
12:02of his luck by those hard, hard chops of Walter.
12:08Let's go, Walter!
12:11Let's go, Walter!
12:14Let's go, Walter!
12:15Let's go Walter, let's go Shaber, let's go Walter, let's go Shaber, let's go Shaber.
12:22Another chop.
12:24Zach trying to get Walter down the canvas and steps over.
12:29Oh, and wrenches.
12:31Wrenching on that arm and then stomping on the other one.
12:37Zach realizing, I mean, not now, but probably about 20 chops ago.
12:45That Walter's most dangerous weapons at this point are those big bearclaw hands of his.
12:55Zach winding up the kick, knocks Walter back, stop to the left shoulder of Walter.
13:02Trying to prevent him from inflicting any more punishment with those chops.
13:16Zach, just toying with him.
13:19Saw Ricochet do this last night, kind of backfired on Ricochet.
13:24Walter.
13:28So Ryan had to break, I can't take contact with Zach, and Zach just face washing him.
13:33Captions the leg.
13:37And just murdering him.
13:41He is murdering him.
13:47Oh, my days.
13:49Oh, Zach.
13:51Running boot.
13:52There's a block.
13:53There's a sleeper.
13:54Zach makes it to the ropes.
13:56Walter breaks the Sherman suplex.
14:00Runs it through.
14:01Butterfly.
14:02Takes him for a ride.
14:05One, two.
14:06No, Zach kicks out.
14:16Walter!
14:19Walter!
14:20Walter!
14:22Walter!
14:23Walter!
14:25Fans firmly behind Zach Saber Jr.
14:29What the fuck am I talking about?
14:30Everybody behind Walter because of his bludgeoning of Zach Saber Jr.
14:38Deadlift.
14:39Sherman knows.
14:40Zach kicks his feet.
14:42Oh, wow.
14:43What a great toss by Zach.
14:47Walter, I think, actually might have come down on his elbow.
14:53Zach using the leverage.
14:55Walter's weight, his body weight against him.
14:58Now, Zach hits the ropes, turning in.
14:59Walter boot up, though.
15:01Spin Zach around.
15:02Goes for the lariat.
15:03Zach flying across the arm breaker.
15:06No!
15:06Wraps up the head of Walter.
15:10And now, oh, trying to wrench her over.
15:12You can see Walter does not, oh!
15:16Zach breaking the grip of Walter.
15:19Trying to break his arm.
15:21Will he hit the rope.
15:23Oh, God!
15:32That's it!
15:33What's up?
15:36That's it!
15:36It's a good item.
15:38Pull it up!
15:38Mark!
15:38We're here!
15:39One, two, three!
15:40One, two!
15:42One, two, three!
15:43One, two, three!
15:43Zach, maybe trying to set it up for the Arctic and 50.
15:45That's it!
15:45Ross Ironbreaker!
15:46John Woo Trypkin just took Zach out of midair.
15:55Now Walter up, charging in, running, both catches Zach right on that, shoot of his, inside out with the lariat,
16:05after the German suplex, one, two, no, Zach kicks out.
16:17Walter, you gotta, you gotta, you have to wonder how much are those arms bothering him, can he push through,
16:26you see, it's not just, it's not just one, it's actually both arms, and that is part of Zach's devious
16:34strategy.
16:34Walter, Walter, Walter, but right now, Zach is, he is fighting from behind.
16:49Oh, Zach just immediately goes down to his knees.
16:57This is a complete annihilation of Zach Saban Jr.
17:04By the big Austrian.
17:08Scoop, up onto the shoulder.
17:10With a stampede, nope.
17:12Zach, goes over.
17:16Flying octopus hold.
17:22Zach breaks free, escapes out of the top, gets the boot up.
17:25Walter charging in.
17:27Eats it right on the mouth.
17:29Goes through the, goes through the, goes through the uppercut.
17:32Walter down into the submission.
17:35Into the, sleeper, no, Zach.
17:37Gets him in the hole, no, only a two count.
17:41Walter with a lariat.
17:43High stack.
17:44No, rolls him through.
17:46Zach gets up, swoops on the leg.
17:49Drops Walter face first.
17:51Kick across the chest.
17:52Nats Walter back to his seated position.
17:54Running PK by Zach.
18:00DeWalter getting backed up.
18:05Zach to his feet.
18:07Both men take one another down.
18:11Dueling high kicks both find their mark.
18:29Rick knocks, 10 count to both men.
18:36Walter looking slightly fresher than Zach.
18:39Zach, he hasn't taken as, quite as many, or if any, impact moves from Zach.
18:45But I mean, those, those arms just, just have to be filling with blood.
18:52Just dead, dead weight tingling in the fingertips.
18:59Yeah, he's, he's holding the both hands, very close to his body.
19:04These guys, once again, squaring up.
19:10Big shot to the face of Walter.
19:17But you see Walter immediately clutching that hand.
19:20I'm not sure if it's the wrist, I'm not sure if the fingers are what.
19:24You have to remember, he actually chopped the ring post last night.
19:26Ricochet avoided one.
19:33It, it becomes hard to watch at a certain point.
19:40As Walter just, again, leaning in with those chops.
19:43I'm not sure what Zach Sabre Jr.'s long-term strategy hit.
19:47Maybe, he wants Walter to actually break his hand on the chest of Zach.
19:53Oh!
19:55Locks, hits the other arm, kicks the chest.
19:59No, Zach looking maybe for a Fujiwara armbar.
20:02No, rolls him through.
20:05Chantry, flying cross-arm breaker, actually hooks the leg as well as the arm.
20:11Trying to break the grip of Walter.
20:16Oh, Walter breaks the, uh, frees the leg, but now in the triangle sleeper.
20:23Zach very wisely getting that shoulder up.
20:26You can see, trying to, trying to pull down on those, those ankles of his.
20:29Trying to cinch in the grip.
20:30Walter trying to pull Zach over to a powerbomb.
20:33Does, and lays him flat.
20:39Rolls Zach through, pulls him in.
20:44Powerbomb again.
20:45No, Zach hanging guillotine.
20:48Trying to bring him down to the canvas, but Walter brings him up.
20:53Change into the chantry.
20:54No, into the butterfly.
20:57Butterfly suplex, guys.
20:59Flat Zach.
21:04Now Walter, got him up.
21:07Powerbomb.
21:08High stack.
21:08One, two, no.
21:10Zach kicks out.
21:12Walter immediately to the sleeper.
21:18Walter has the sleeper applied.
21:20Zach.
21:23Going after the fingers, though.
21:25Forced Walter to break the hold.
21:28Before he has his hand broken.
21:30There's the Pele kick to the arm.
21:33Oh, went for the lariat.
21:35Zach Conner with the roundhouse.
21:36Slap to the face.
21:41Zach, you can see, very uneasy on his feet.
21:44Just.
21:48Wow.
21:48Just repeatedly laying in slap.
21:51Oh.
21:54Sleeper applied.
21:56Zach goes behind.
21:58Walter rolls him through.
22:00Zach.
22:01Oh, brings him down.
22:03Into the pitting predicament.
22:04No, Walter.
22:05Oh, into the sleeper.
22:06And Zach.
22:07Zach Saber Jr. taps out.
22:09Walter.
22:11Tapping out.
22:13Zach Saber Jr.
22:15An incredible victory for Walter.
