00:58the ability to talk people into the ring into the buildings rather well partly the biggest
01:05biggest element to success is timing and the stars have aligned maybe they'll align in the future
01:15for one jacob austin young but the stars have aligned in the favor of the youngest ever to
01:22challenge for iwgp world heavyweight championship gold as of this time last week calum newman
01:32was iwgp tag team champion now he is no more could be once again next week at wrestling red zone
01:41but he has taken the challenge that jeffcock throughout the prince of pace may well take the
01:49ultimate crow crown on may 4th at wrestling don't attack
02:04this is
02:25you're exactly right chris the age-old expression right time right place we know it's not the situation
02:32that jeffcock or any of the united empire wanted to face but calum's really taken the bull by the
02:38horns on this one he's grasped the opportunity but now he has to cash all the way in just getting the
02:45match that's the first step can he do it can he become the youngest champion in this country's
02:53newman's going to have to shift up more than a few gears right here and starting tonight but let's face
03:02it i don't think anybody expected calum newman to be killing tetsuya naito to become iwgp tag team
03:09champion at sakura genesis to for newman to beat naito in what was perhaps naito's last ever
03:16championship match here in new japan pro wrestling they've been saying newman has been unbelievable
03:22since he was 11 years of age and i think there might be the case where we won't be able to
03:27believe our eyes may fall for don tacken
03:44iwgp junior tbq champion
03:47this year and a very different set of circumstances opposite temple io to the one he faced against
04:06clark connor's last month
04:10it's been challenger after challenger for desk dorado and his reign since wrestle kingdom
04:16he hasn't slowed down one bit you could say the same thing about the goto revolution
04:24that train's been running a hot since he beat my front man yeah yeah front man
04:30sag saber jr and then from there to tanahashi tenigata to david finley to show to umino and now
04:38and to callum you man
04:51as i made a very clear that this was not aarten of that he was expecting
04:55NEIL SAILLOW AND NORS
04:57school has done for digital service that he said this was not a title match that he was expecting
05:03has said that starting today, Goto will know exactly why he is a valid number one contender.
05:13Fukuoka could be one of the most shocking upset victories of all time. History has shown
05:21in situations like this, people like Callum in his shoes have done it, have shocked the world.
05:29Now it's his turn to take that opportunity.
05:34Could well be both tag team champion and world heavyweight champion by the end of this tour and
05:40it's gonna start aggressive and this is exactly what he needs to do against the champion today.
05:47I was gonna point out you could draw similarities between Shota and Callum in terms of age and
05:53experience and where they're right in their careers, but I don't think they could be any different,
05:57any more different in the ring, Callum is a unique beast.
06:02Moves like a junior, has really started growing into his body in the heavyweight division,
06:07and he's still so young, numerically speaking.
06:11One of the first things, and I've said it for a long time, and Hanare said it to me,
06:17and I've never been able to unsee it since, the comparison of Callum Newman to Prince Devitt.
06:24And the level of aggression that Devitt showed when he moved from junior to heavyweight,
06:31to start the Bullet Club and to control his narrative within New Japan Pro Wrestling.
06:36That is something that, well, maybe Newman will do it in his own way, but that is the model that I think Newman can follow.
06:44Templario up high!
06:46Feel it attacking Goto out on the floor and United Empire have taken over.
06:51And this is our first real look over on this side of the border of Templario being a part of the United Empire unit.
06:57I know he's had some matches in the USA as part of the NJPW Strong Grands,
07:01but now we get to see it here in Japan, how he forms as a unit with Jacob, with Callum,
07:08what these combinations look like, and I'm really interested to be here in the best seat in the house.
07:13Yeah, exactly. Last time we've seen Templario and Desperado in the ring together,
07:18they were teaming at Fantastica Mania, Elvis Increíbles.
07:21Actually, it was back then, but Templario was handpicked by TJP to join the Empire in December of last year.
07:30Now Templario has his own shot at Tag Team Gold alongside TJP against the world-class Wrecking Crew, May 9,
07:36but before that, Desperado, April 29th in Saga.
07:41Yeah!
07:48Whoa!
07:50Bringing unique flair to the cerulean blue today in Coric and Roll.
07:55Templario is a hell of a sight to behold, spectacular, but of course Desperado,
08:02who started his career in earnest in Mexico.
08:09And I think you're gonna see that combination of, well, the more athletic lucha style of Templario
08:15will be against the, well, more Yahweh grounded approach of El Desperado.
08:20That's why this matchup is very, very intriguing.
08:23And not just to me, but all of us in the Junior Division, especially ahead of Best of the Super Junior's 32.
08:29That's right.
08:30Still, as we said, CMLL will have one entry into Best of the Super Junior, still yet to be determined.
08:37But if Templario is the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, well, then he's gonna be, I mean, you would have to say he was a good guy.
08:44He's a shooey.
08:46So, yeah, that CMLL spot could, it could be Templario.
08:50A lot of speculation, meanwhile, as to what will happen with Uchi's spot in Best of the Super Junior's.
08:55And I think we'll have more news on that very, very soon.
09:00Jacob Austin Young provoking.
09:03What he did was very provoking.
09:06Extremely provoking.
09:08I'm feeling a certain way.
09:10No, no, no, no, no.
09:11My goodness.
09:12You're feeling about how I feel when I look at Yo.
09:15Here's the cover.
09:17Yeah, see, Jacob's inexperience crept up on him.
09:21He underestimated Toguchi there.
09:24Mocked him, took a lazy cover on Desperado and thought that he wasn't gonna do anything about it.
09:29I think that in a sense, Jacob Austin Young showing some of the aggression and attitude that a lot of people have been
09:35waiting for J.A.Y. to show.
09:38And sometimes, very often, you see people in their first few tours in Japan walking on eggshells a little bit.
09:45And I feel Jacob Austin Young starting to grow in confidence.
09:48That's exactly what United Empire needed.
09:50Especially right now, as Jeff Cobb is out the door.
09:54And as Callum Newman.
09:57Oh, a little bit of arrogance.
10:02Newman here, pushing the buttons, poking the bear, so to speak.
10:06And he's poking too.
10:08Might be underestimating El Desperado.
10:10Yeah, well, he's drawing Goto into the ring.
10:13Here we go.
10:14And that's what he wanted to happen here.
10:16And I was gonna mention this earlier, you said Callum's been wrestling since he was around 11 years old.
10:20That could also be his undoing in the position he's in.
10:23His confidence is at an all-time high.
10:26But he hasn't been in this setting for as long as the rest of his career.
10:31So he might feel great.
10:32His confidence is boosted.
10:33He's in a great position.
10:35But he hasn't been in these exact positions multiple times before at the scale that New Japan Pro Wrestling is.
10:42And that's something to wear very often.
10:44Callum Newman as the younger member of the United Empire has, in the past, been able to look to his teammates for help, assistance, guidance.
10:54Great guys like Will Ospreay, a great veteran figure like Jeff Cobb, a great veteran figure like TJP.
11:01But now Callum Newman has to call his own shots.
11:04Well, Templario has Despe tied up six ways from Sunday here.
11:08We're talking about it that Desperado is more of that Jave-style wrestler from his time in Mexico.
11:15And Templario has given him what for in the same format.
11:18And Templario, I'm not entirely sure where to stick with this whole goal.
11:24And Desperado is going to maneuver himself a little nearer to the ropes, but still.
11:29And again, look at Callum.
11:31Look at Callum.
11:32Only has eyes for Gotoh.
11:33He's not just playing keep away here.
11:35He's also showing his focus when it comes to wrestling Dontaku just a couple of weeks away.
11:48Temparado has just got this intimidating factor to him.
11:57He's thick, he's strong, and he's showing it off right here.
12:00Desperado getting down south here, gonna turn.
12:05Close the distance there, did Templario up on the shoulders.
12:10Oh, and dropped him, running a detonation-style kick there.
12:15And instead, pays the price.
12:17Dragon's throwing the floor, and Gotoh is itching to get in.
12:21And so is Callum Newman.
12:24He can make that tag get in in the plus position.
12:27They both have to pull past their opponents.
12:29Desperado is a little bit closer.
12:32Templario's gonna have to lunge and dive here.
12:35And that's gonna be hard on one leg.
12:36Both sides, here we go.
12:38Champion, challenger, May 4th, wrestling, Don Tucker, Colin Newman, Hiroki Gotoh.
12:42And the pace is gonna quicken.
12:48Bang.
12:50He breathes life into that moniker.
12:53And PK there from-
12:58The man who turned down a career in Premier League football.
13:03Known as the Prince of Pace, but if he wins the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship,
13:07has he become the king of quicken?
13:09Yeah, he could well be.
13:11You're welcome, Callum.
13:12I'll get my royalties later.
13:14Well, take note for that.
13:16Well, Jeff got stars in paychecks.
13:17I was the one that came up with Imperial Unit, by the way.
13:19Well-
13:20I haven't seen a sniff of any of that.
13:22It's a conversation you and I have to have about royalties after the show, I think.
13:26Oh, Muramasa in the corner.
13:29And side suplex.
13:32And now Gotoh's gonna take control.
13:34Drops him on his head and gets two from referee, Marty Asami.
13:39Gotoh does that side suplex at such a unique angle, you never can land in a flat position.
13:44So it's one of those ones where it may look like it's targeted to the head, it may look like it's targeted to the back,
13:49but you're hitting your shoulder, you're hitting the back of your head even, bouncing off the canvas.
13:54And Gotoh is planning to drop.
13:57Ryan does face first.
13:59Callum Newman over the mirror versus GTI, and he's gonna keep moving, but so is Callum Newman.
14:07Callum's definitely going to be the quickest opponent that Gotoh has had as part of this reign thus far.
14:13And it's really gonna test him in his pace and his tempo and his timing.
14:16No doubt about it, at the same time, so many people say, out of all the people, out of all the offense,
14:22who's his the most painful?
14:24Everybody to a one says, Hiroki Gotoh.
14:26There is not a single thing that Gotoh does that does not hurt you and hurt you badly.
14:31Now that has to have rattled the jaw of Gotoh, but the Lariat may well have broken it on Jacob Austin Young.
14:40Caught him in the jaw, dropped him on his noggin.
14:44Right on his dome.
14:47Set us up to Gucci to come in.
14:50Goes straight down low with that basement drop kick to the knee.
14:54Jaypoop's gonna be feeling that.
14:56Couldn't quite charge him with the same pace he would have wanted.
15:00Oh, nice.
15:01Full stack on the school player now right into Omar and Grankel.
15:04And that is the veteran instincts of Yusuke Toguchi.
15:11Everyone should be studying Toguchi tapes.
15:14He's one of the best at transitioning from one position straight to that ankle.
15:18Does it so many different unique ways.
15:20Casts you by surprise every time.
15:22I think Templario knows it.
15:24Templario a little bit wobbled here.
15:26And having trouble to close the distance there is Jacob Austin as well.
15:31Little ginger on his feet.
15:32Now Templario gets moving up to the top.
15:34My goodness.
15:35Yeah, well, whatever was ailing his leg went away for that split second and he capitalized with that drop kick.
15:41Shining Wizard.
15:42Straight across the yard.
15:43Well, I think Templario might be somewhat badly locked.
15:48And Esquerdo is gonna make that situation a lot worse for his challenger for 29th.
15:55Tejeros those strikes.
15:56Well, up to the vertical base.
15:59And here we go.
16:00Oh, my God.
16:04And Callum Heumann unbidden to soar from halfway across the ring to the World Heavyweight Team.
16:10To the World Heavyweight Champion.
16:12J.A.Y.
16:13Now.
16:14Magistral.
16:15Got it.
16:16Shoulders down.
16:17Nearly.
16:18Nearly, nearly.
16:19Pintaguchi.
16:20And if there's an open spot perhaps in Best of the Super Juniors.
16:23Jacob Austin Young wants to take it.
16:25Jacob's Ladder.
16:26No.
16:27Denied.
16:28Dodon.
16:29Dodono.
16:30Here we go.
16:31The cover.
16:32Taguchi.
16:33The other way.
16:35And two handfuls attached.
16:37Oh, my goodness.
16:39I'm Natty.
16:41I'm Michio.
16:42Kabuchi Yusuke is the winner of the World Heavyweight Champion.
16:45That's all shortyness!
16:48Incredibly close.
16:50Jacob Austin Young still searching for that major victory
16:53that has eluded him so far in NJPW.
16:56Almost had seasoned veteran in Tabuchi.
16:59That could have been something that could have claimed him a spot
17:02if not in Super Juniors this year but next year.
17:05I think Jacob Austin Young has an awful lot to complain about
17:08should he take that attitude with him backstage.
17:11Two handfuls of tights.
17:13That's the second time tonight.
17:15Robbie, I've seen a full moon here in Corcoran Hall
17:18and it's not even 1pm.
17:24If you think Callum Newman is not a credible challenger
17:30when Newman has his own think coming
17:35and his own thoughts to show you over the next couple of weeks.
17:39Goto turning away.
17:43From his challenger May 4th.
17:45But they will have their hands on each other.
17:48Next week in Hiroshima and then again at Dontaku.
17:51El Desperado and Templario will face off April 29th.
17:54The beautiful new Saga Arena.
17:57They host a huge band pro wrestling.
17:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:00We almost got a front moon
18:03which I don't think anyone would want to see from Toguchi.
18:06First time I've heard Toguchi as a front man.
18:10First time I've heard Toguchi as a front man.
18:12First time I've heard Toguchi as a front man.
18:14First time I've heard Toguchi as a front man.
18:17First time I've heard Toguchi as a front man.
18:20Definitely not the momentum that Callum or Templario wanted going into their title matches.
18:28But sometimes this is just how it happens.
18:31On the road to the big one, it takes a few hours.
18:34You learn from it, and then you apply it differently when it comes down to just you.
18:38When you're in that singles environment, it's a whole different ballgame.
18:44Maybe a ballgame Callum Newman is unfamiliar with in the biggest match of his career, May 4th.
18:50But before that, the different ballgame of 5-on-5, elimination, tag team action.
18:55And could this be the last time we see Los Ingobernables down Pond in Corroquine Hall?
19:02Our main event is coming up next.
