00:00The challenger, two men fighting for supremacy,
00:04two men fighting for the IWGP United States
00:08Heavyweight Championship, and so much more.
00:10♪♪
00:14This is my moment now.
00:16If I'm ever gonna pass this torch,
00:20I am going to take it from you.
00:22Kenny Omega was able to survive
00:25against the man who's very much his equal.
00:28He's just not quite ready to grab that torch yet.
00:31♪♪
00:36Kenny Omega!
00:37Remember me!
00:39I'm back for revenge!
00:42Well, I'm glad to have you.
00:46♪♪
00:53♪♪
00:56Now, you can be only one ringleader.
00:59I'm not bringing you from that spot.
01:01I'm not bringing it till you take it from me.
01:03I will walk into your territory,
01:06and I'm bringing back
01:08the IWGP United States Championship!
01:13I don't lose big matches.
01:15You don't stand a chance.
01:17♪♪
01:22We are spoiled as professional wrestling broadcasters.
01:25We are spoiled as professional wrestling fans.
01:30This has been an incredible event thus far,
01:33and yet we still have this.
01:35...now where another day of civil unrest
01:37has had authorities on alert.
01:39The actions of a lone assassin
01:41have sparked dissent across the country,
01:43and riot police have been put on standby
01:45as tensions are set to rise.
01:49♪♪
01:56♪♪
02:03♪♪
02:10♪♪
02:17♪♪
02:22♪♪
02:27♪♪
02:32♪♪
02:37♪♪
02:42♪♪
02:47♪♪
02:52♪♪
02:57♪♪
03:02♪♪
03:07♪♪
03:12♪♪
03:17♪♪
03:22♪♪
03:27♪♪
03:32♪♪
03:37♪♪
03:42♪♪
03:47♪♪
03:52♪♪
03:57♪♪
04:02♪♪
04:07♪♪
04:12♪♪
04:17♪♪
04:22And he's acting like this?
04:25Kevin Kelly, do you read any significance
04:28into the return of the aerial assassin moniker?
04:32It is interesting, I will say that.
04:41The agitator in all of this is Don Capp.
04:44He's the puppet master, he's pulling the strings.
04:47Yeah, man.
04:48And it's all about Kenny Omega.
04:50Yes.
04:51It's all about Omega.
04:53And listen to this ovation.
05:02From Winnipeg, Manitoba,
05:05weighing 224 pounds,
05:07he is the IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Champion.
05:12He is the best back machine.
05:16He is the trainer.
05:21He is...
05:23Kenny...
05:25Omega!
05:37The IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Champion,
05:42The Green Kenny Omega!
05:52Kevin Kelly, you've called perhaps more high-profile
05:57Kenny Omega matches than anyone in our sport.
06:01Do you think the gravity of this moment
06:04weighs too heavily on Kenny Omega?
06:07I do not, and I'll say this,
06:09just because Kenny Omega has overcome,
06:13has overcome the adversaries and the issues and the moments.
06:17No scenario has ever been too big for Kenny Omega,
06:21but the same can be said for Will Ospreay.
06:24It's that man right there.
06:26Don Callis and his machinations
06:28that could mean the difference in this championship contest.
06:31I agree with that, that is a great call,
06:33because Don Callis ripped Kenny's heart
06:36right out of his chest for what he did to him.
06:39And how close they were.
06:42Kenny Omega, a man that considered Don Callis
06:45a second father.
06:49I always wondered if Don Callis was overstating
06:53the relationship between he and Omega,
06:57because when Don Callis says something,
07:00my first instinct is to consider it and lie.
07:04And this match, for that title,
07:07for that title, the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship,
07:10will be Kenny Omega's first match
07:13since the original Dynamite Winter is coming.
07:16Wow.
07:19Look at this.
07:27I think this doesn't have a big-time feel.
07:30You are wrong.
07:37Yeah!
07:44Tony, this is Kenny Omega's first singles match
07:49since the night he became AEW world champion,
07:53where he has not been cornered by Don Callis.
07:57346 days he was the world champion,
08:00the longest reigning one.
08:02I want to go back.
08:04We'll mix this in, because this is a great match.
08:06We're going to see some great things,
08:08but, Kevin, you called the match.
08:10It was that DDT on the top exposed turnbuckle
08:14in the match at WrestleKingdom
08:16that really changed the complexion
08:18of that first match they had earlier this year.
08:20That ripped the wound wide open, of course,
08:22on the head of Will Ospreay,
08:24and that turned things around.
08:26It got nasty at that point.
08:28It was very personal.
08:30Ospreay feels he needs to beat Omega.
08:33He felt going in that he needed to show the world.
08:39Kevin, I want to draw the attention
08:42to the Ospreay chants ringing out
08:44here in the Scotiabank Arena.
08:46There is a large contingent of fans
08:48that traveled from the United States and elsewhere
08:51to be here in Toronto tonight,
08:53and apparently they are in support of the challenger.
08:58But then again, yeah, the same fans, Tony,
09:00are also cheering for Kenny Omega.
09:02Well, I think they appreciate and respect
09:04both these men, and they love to see this.
09:06All the fans realize what they're watching right now.
09:09Two of the greats in the world going.
09:11Yeah, I think the one thing that everybody can agree on
09:14is that Don Callis is a skunk.
09:16Side headlock takeover, head scissors,
09:18kick in, and no, no, no, no kickout.
09:20Tight head scissors, locked in.
09:22There's some slick transitions back and forth.
09:24Crowd chanting.
09:28Well, here's a chant we can all get behind.
09:31As Omega with Ospreay,
09:35caught in the head scissors.
09:37Ospreay elevates into the head stand.
09:40Got a little too fancy.
09:42Omega made him pay.
09:46I can notice it because we're here ringside.
09:48Don Callis is trying to always position himself
09:51to where he's in Kenny's eyesight.
09:53He wants Kenny to notice him,
09:55to look at him at ringside.
09:57And Omega teeing off on Will Ospreay.
10:00Will Ospreay turns things around on Omega in the corner.
10:04Knife edge chop.
10:06That went high on the throat.
10:08Maybe on the trachea of Omega.
10:10Yeah, there's a warning from Paul Turner about that as well.
10:12Another one.
10:18Yeah, this isn't about making sounds and reddening chests.
10:21This is about crushing larynxes
10:23and affecting the heart.
10:25Larynxes and affecting that wind into the lungs.
10:28Here we go.
10:30Omega looking for the one-winged angel.
10:32That's all he wanted last fall.
10:34On his counter.
10:36No, Omega anticipates, counters, snap, dragon.
10:38No, Ospreay lands on his feet.
10:40Oh, my God.
10:42Deep arm drag.
10:44Omega transitions into the head scissors.
10:46Ospreay.
10:48Phenomenal.
10:50Put everything into that kick.
10:52Omega avoided it by just a hair.
10:54Just phenomenal.
10:56Both athletes.
10:58Tony, not only has Don Callis
11:00offered the military grade protection
11:02to Will Ospreay,
11:04we have to speculate
11:06on if he's offered more than that
11:08because Don Callis knows Kenny Omega
11:10better than anyone in professional wrestling.
11:12Maybe anyone in life.
11:14Could be deep pockets.
11:16Don with a...
11:18Still trying to do some coaching
11:20on the outside.
11:23I don't know
11:25what motivates Don Callis.
11:27Oh, thumb to the eye by Ospreay.
11:29Ospreay seizing on the opening.
11:31You know what? I don't mind a thumb to the eye.
11:33If it gets you the advantage, it gets you the advantage.
11:35Yeah, apologize later.
11:37Ospreay, of course,
11:39all during the pandemic...
11:41Those wrestlers
11:43from foreign countries
11:45who stayed in Japan were basically in prison.
11:47And I mean that nicely.
11:49First class accommodations, of course,
11:51and then leave the country.
11:53Right.
11:55And Ospreay felt like he needed to stay in Japan
11:57to carry the company on his back and shoulders.
11:59Then there was a lack of appreciation.
12:01So he felt.
12:03And a lot of the people said,
12:05well, you're not Kenny Omega.
12:07And he needed to kind of exercise that demon.
12:09Well, and that's an important point
12:11because when Kenny Omega
12:13left New Japan Pro Wrestling,
12:15he left very big shoes to fill,
12:17shoes that Will Ospreay
12:19and perhaps buckled
12:21under the pressure at WrestleKingdom
12:23of trying to be something
12:25that he was not.
12:27Four years removed, right?
12:29Yes, sir.
12:31Omega.
12:33Gonna hike up the green overalls.
12:35Omega.
12:37Cannot escape, Will Ospreay.
12:39You can't escape.
12:41Omega, the cover, the deep hook.
12:43Ospreay able to kick.
12:45Kenny Omega is absolutely amazing.
12:47On his way out to New Japan
12:49to come here to AEW.
12:51He said, Ospreay, you're the guy.
12:53You need to be the guy.
12:55Left trapped here, guys.
12:57Hang in there.
12:59We'll get right behind you
13:01because here comes Kenny Omega.
13:03Omega.
13:05Looking to terminate Will Ospreay.
13:07Oh, wait, Callis.
13:09Don Callis grabbed the leg.
13:11Run that son of a bitch out of here.
13:13Get him out of here.
13:15It's not for Ospreay.
13:17It's for Callis.
13:19And the security guards
13:21stepping in between Kenny Omega.
13:23Oh, no. Paul Turner did see it.
13:25He's ejected Callis from ringside.
13:27There you go.
13:31But is that enough for Kenny Omega?
13:33Is that enough for him to return
13:35his 5,000 pounds to this match?
13:37Get him in the ring here.
13:39Hit him with on the downward slope.
13:41Got him.
13:43Oh, the knees.
13:45Oh, my God.
13:47Omega, of course, distracted guys.
13:49It was easy to see how distracted
13:51he was by all the nonsense
13:53that Don Callis caused
13:55and the subsequent ejection.
13:57Ospreay takes advantage, though,
13:59as bicep first
14:01into the ring post.
14:03Did Don Callis play his hand,
14:05his trump card?
14:07Did he play it too early
14:09or did he just get caught red-handed?
14:11We'll never know,
14:13but the action in this match continues.
14:15IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship
14:17at stake
14:19held under the rules
14:21of New Japan Pro Wrestling.
14:25Big
14:27backbreaker by the challenger.
14:29Great execution.
14:31Pressed by Ospreay. Omega
14:33able to break free.
14:35And, of course, Kenny Omega very familiar
14:37with wrestling under those New Japan rules.
14:39And the IWGP
14:41sanctioning body.
14:43At the International Wrestling Grand Prix,
14:45the governing body of New Japan Pro Wrestling
14:47is Ospreay.
14:51That
14:53was a nasty thud.
14:55I thought when he went on the outside
14:57that Ospreay would work on the knee.
14:59Then he went to the bicep like you talked about, Kevin,
15:01and now working on the back here.
15:03So his strategy is kind of really all over the place here.
15:05And is that
15:07lack of
15:09isolation of one body part
15:11a focused plan
15:13or a lack of focus?
15:15And there's the knee.
15:17Yeah, right back to the knee.
15:19Ospreay
15:21thinking Brain Buster, perhaps.
15:23Oh, yeah.
15:25A little bit of a tuck there as Ospreay.
15:27That'll press.
15:29Kevin, that move not about winning for Ospreay,
15:31about forcing Kenny Omega to expend energy.
15:33Keep working, keep working, keep working.
15:35Second one in Raw Excalibur.
15:37He didn't hook a leg.
15:39He did the exact same thing like you were talking about.
15:41So, again, just expend the energy.
15:45But, Kevin, you know as well as anybody
15:47Kenny Omega
15:49a nearly bottomless gas tank.
15:51But the same
15:53would be said about Will Ospreay.
15:55Exactly right.
15:57Trained to go 60.
15:59Went nearly 75 against Okada.
16:01And stepped in Cobra Twist.
16:07Remember, Kenny Omega
16:09returning
16:11last fall
16:13from sports hernias surgery
16:15as well as
16:17a multitude of injuries
16:19that kept him out of action
16:21for nearly a year.
16:23I think he's come back better than ever before.
16:25And I say that because
16:27you guys have seen many more Kenny Omega matches
16:29than I have.
16:31I can't see how this guy
16:33can get any better than he is now.
16:35Omega, drop step behind.
16:37Drop kick to the kneecap.
16:39And Omega
16:41over the top.
16:45Tower Crusher
16:47and let's see here.
16:49Oh my goodness.
16:51Hit him so hard
16:53it kicked him right off to his feet.
16:55The dunk by Omega
16:57Kick to the ribs. Near leg.
16:59Ospreay
17:01That was not an emphatic kick out, Kevin.
17:03No, and Ospreay
17:05who comes in tonight
17:07with a New Japan mark
17:09of 17-2
17:11in singles matches
17:15is being tested here.
17:21I think Ospreay's kind of slowing down here.
17:23I know he had that injury in March.
17:26I think he's in trouble, guys.
17:28Yeah, it cost him the New Japan Cup
17:30shoulder injury.
17:32He got forced to withdraw from the tournament
17:34Will Ospreay
17:38Omega accelerates Ospreay
17:40lands on his feet.
17:42Potent one-two
17:44not punch, one-two kick by Ospreay.
17:50Ospreay
17:52sends Omega
17:54just on the top rope.
17:56Here we go.
17:58Omega hung out to dry
18:00and Ospreay's
18:02going to look to capitalize.
18:04And he's trying to get out of this, but he cannot.
18:06Ospreay
18:08eyes locked on Omega
18:10Shoot!
18:12And star-crushed to the spine!
18:18We've seen some great maneuvers and moves
18:20I think that's the one of the night.
18:22Now watch this
18:24Oscutter, Oscutter, but on the apron!
18:28Cutter connects!
18:32My God.
18:40Paul Turner checking on both men
18:42obviously. Here it is again.
18:44Look at that shooting star-crush
18:46and then as you said, give it to Oscutter.
18:48Oscutter on the apron
18:50Kenny Omega with nowhere left to go
18:54And Kevin, in their first
18:56encounter back at Wrestle Kingdom 17
18:58it wasn't their first ever encounter
19:00years ago in pro-wrestling
19:02Guerrilla, oh no.
19:04Watch it, watch it.
19:10Omega putting on the brakes
19:12Ospreay, shots to the body
19:14Get him in the ring
19:16Headbutts
19:18Oh my God, oh my God
19:20Ospreay wants to do
19:22to Omega
19:24What Omega did to him
19:26he said, you remember this
19:28Jammed his head right through the table
19:30There is an evil look in Will Ospreay's eyes
19:32Enough!
19:38Ospreay biting the hand of Omega
19:40Ospreay's gone
19:42He's gone nuts
19:44A third time
19:50He just will not let go
19:52what happened in Wrestle Kingdom
19:54Savagery
19:56by Will Ospreay
19:58but turnabout
20:00perhaps fair play Kevin
20:02It's the motivator
20:04It's what's driven Will Ospreay here
20:06Now look again
20:08Man it's right when he said
20:10you remember this
20:16I am at a loss for words
20:18about the level of violence
20:20that just transpired
20:22inches from us
20:24Oh come on now
20:28Ospreay taking the collar off our desk
20:30That thing has got nails
20:32sticking out of it and everything now
20:34Oh my God
20:42Paul Turner just shouted 5
20:44Remember a 20 count on the outside
20:48Buddy and he's going to take every advantage
20:50on this 20 count
20:52And of course it's going to be Omega
20:54who has to answer the count
20:56but Ospreay will roll him back
20:58under the bottom rope
21:00Still a wanker
21:06Still a wanker
21:08Still a wanker
21:10still a wanker
21:12still a wanker
21:14to provoke a reaction
21:16out of Will Ospreay
21:18but what Ospreay has done now
21:20to Kenny Omega
21:22certainly affecting the vision
21:24of the U.S. Champion
21:26as the blood flows potentially
21:28You made my blood spill on January the 4th.
21:32Now here in A.W., in hostile territory for me,
21:37I'm gonna spill your blood.
21:39Kevin, in Will Ospreay's own words,
21:41Kenny Omega controlled 80% of the match at WrestleKingdom.
21:47Will Ospreay turning the tables on Omega tonight.
21:52He is in the driver's seat.
21:56He has the IWGP United States heavyweight champion
21:59at his mercy.
22:04Tunnel vision right now for Will Ospreay.
22:07Simplice, if you ask me.
22:10How far are you willing to take this?
22:20Kenny is in dire straits.
22:21Yeah, he's gonna barely get up there.
22:23He's in bad shape.
22:24He's in bad shape, I mean, yep.
22:27Will just lowering the boom, which I don't blame him.
22:30You got him injured. You got to do it.
22:34At some point, is Paul Turner
22:36and a potential judgment call going to come into play?
22:40Guys, we have seen enough of Kenny Omega
22:42to know that he is not going to just say,
22:45I've had enough. He never will.
22:48Too much pride.
22:49Omega heavy-handed with those elbow strikes.
22:52Brings Ospreay upright.
22:53Rolling elbow. Omega goes down.
22:58The Hidden Blade could be on the way here soon
23:01for Will Ospreay.
23:02Stormbreaker is another finisher, but...
23:06But the shoulder injury, Kevin.
23:07Yes, and Ospreay has said,
23:11when I've used the Stormbreaker since the shoulder injury...
23:15Oh, no. He's not even going there.
23:18Come on. Ospreay thinking V-Trigger.
23:24Beating with his own move.
23:26The ultimate insult.
23:30Look at the smile on Ospreay's face.
23:33Ospreay.
23:34Boom! There it was, boy, and he hit it.
23:37I'll tell you what.
23:38The blood in the eyes of Kenny Omega
23:40opened the door for Ospreay to be able to hit that.
23:43Omega couldn't see Ospreay coming at him.
23:45You can see the blood all over his eyelids.
23:48That blood dripping into Omega's eyes,
23:51and it's stinging, blinding the champion.
23:53You're done, pal.
23:55You're done!
23:57Oh, he needs it.
23:59Shut up!
24:06Ospreay.
24:08Oh, no, Kenny O'Flyer.
24:10He gripped the...
24:12Well, if there is any legal difficulties for Will Ospreay,
24:16don't say he wasn't warned.
24:20That's shameful. This is absolutely shameful.
24:23Every bit of it.
24:25Kenny Omega, obviously a very proud Canadian.
24:28Ho-ho! Ho-ho!
24:31And I would not want to be Will Ospreay
24:33going through customs like that.
24:35I would not want to be Will Ospreay
24:37going through customs like that.
24:39And I would not want to be Will Ospreay
24:41going through customs this week
24:43as Kenny Omega,
24:45the Lariat,
24:47perhaps opening the door,
24:50giving him an opportunity
24:52to get back into this match.
24:54And defending his country's honor, the boot.
25:00Omega. He incensed.
25:02Maple Leaf Beetle.
25:04Good call.
25:06And Omega not done yet.
25:09No! Oh, my God!
25:12Ospreay being flung
25:14from pillar to post
25:16by the champion.
25:18This match is everything we thought it would be
25:20and even a lot more.
25:25Now he's gonna hand him out the dry air, guys.
25:28Oh!
25:30Will Ospreay was the one that introduced the flag.
25:36And again, we talked about it, Kevin.
25:39The New Japan Pro Wrestling rule said
25:41the referee's discretion,
25:43the referee's inclined to be a little more liberal.
25:45Nobody wants to see a match like this
25:47end in a disqualification.
25:48Exactly right.
25:50There you go.
25:52What a moment.
25:55New Japan Pro Wrestling,
25:57wrestling in general is plagued by disqualifications
25:59all throughout the 80s.
26:01Well, wait, Omega was it ever.
26:03And wrestling has now come full circle.
26:06Watch out, head of steam!
26:08Oh, V-Trigger!
26:10V-Trigger against the barricade.
26:12Omega's momentum carrying him
26:14nearly over the top into the front row.
26:17I think that's the same knee that hit the steel steps
26:19about ten minutes ago.
26:21Yeah, that's...
26:23And is that why, I would imagine,
26:25as we take a look...
26:27Oh, yeah, I think it was actually
26:29the shin of Omega that collided with Ospreay,
26:31the knee striking the barricade.
26:36He's already hit it.
26:42Now, wait a minute, this isn't a wooden table.
26:44These are steel steps.
26:47And Omega is trying to drive
26:49Will Ospreay's head clear through.
26:51The diamond plate steps
26:55constructed to prevent slipping
26:58also can lacerate.
27:00They can wound someone.
27:03How many wrestlers have we known over the years, Excalibur,
27:05that had the scars
27:07from those diamond-studded steps
27:09embedded in their back, in their legs, in their arms?
27:12Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
27:15Hang on a second!
27:19He's got scars on Will's forehead.
27:21Yes, indeed.
27:23There is a puddle of blood
27:25on the floor,
27:27and you can see the crimson mask
27:29being worn.
27:31Yep, there's a puddle of blood.
27:33Checking the wound.
27:37As you see, Will Ospreay's blood
27:39painting the steel steps.
27:41Yeah, my God.
27:43Paul looked over at Doc Sands and said,
27:45okay, match continues.
27:48But for how long?
27:55I don't know what he's got in mind,
27:57but it's not gonna be good.
27:59Nope.
28:01No!
28:03Man's shades of Wrestle Kingdom.
28:06We're now on the hit on the top two.
28:12Will Ospreay is a bloody mess,
28:14and Paul Turner,
28:16the medical staff,
28:18may need to work in combination
28:20to wave this one off.
28:22Kenny Omega may not have just shortened
28:24the night of Will Ospreay.
28:26He may have shortened the career
28:28with the DDT on the steps.
28:31I'm amazed that Ospreay
28:33can get up on all fours here.
28:35But Omega,
28:37labored movements on his side as well.
28:39Look who's begging off now.
28:41Now Omega.
28:43Ooh, they're trying to cover him here.
28:45Yeah, the mouth and the open-handed
28:47palm strikes to the wound.
28:49Now to the ear, the side of the head.
28:52Omega,
28:54the body scissors.
28:57Looking for
28:59an uncharacteristic for Kenny Omega.
29:02Oh, Juji Katami now.
29:05Omega breaks the grip.
29:07The Grip Ospreay.
29:10It's Ospreay's left arm versus both
29:12of Omega's arms, and now the fingers
29:14wrenched back.
29:16Kenny transitions, looking for a triangle.
29:20And now elbows, again,
29:22targeting the wound on the head of Ospreay.
29:24There's in-close fighting going on here, guys.
29:26It's just blood
29:28just pouring off of Will Ospreay
29:30onto Kenny Omega.
29:32Squeeze on him, and that blood is flowing.
29:34The wound is relatively closed here
29:36for Omega.
29:39He does!
29:42And again, the strength of Will Ospreay
29:44that I don't think we talk that much about,
29:46but God, he's powerful.
29:49He's used the legs.
29:52Kenny Omega is coated
29:54in his own blood,
29:56not the blood of Will Ospreay,
29:58but the strength
30:02of Omega, the champion.
30:04Look at Omega's neck section.
30:06I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.
30:08We've seen faces covered in blood with bodies.
30:10Ospreay. Oh, German Suplex Omega.
30:12He landed on his head, and he is...
30:14Oh, wait, no. Omega
30:18fires back with one of his own.
30:20Oh!
30:23Incredible impact
30:25all around.
30:27Omega just bounces.
30:30Snap, drag it. Oh, backwards headbutt.
30:32Oh, that caught him. That was a good one.
30:34Bang!
30:39Oh!
30:40Spinning slide, cover!
30:42Two-new champ! Oh!
30:46Just couldn't get the cover that he wanted.
30:48So close, that time for Ospreay.
30:50Look, he knows it. So close.
30:53Paul Turner's hand, a centimeter
30:55from counting three.
30:58Listen to the fans just there,
31:00just digging this, man.
31:06Well, another great champion from Canada.
31:11Titles and championships galore.
31:13One with this.
31:15The sharpshooter locked in.
31:17This baby will be coming
31:19to Calvary real soon for Collision.
31:21And look at this.
31:23Omega flat on his stomach.
31:26Can he make the army crawl to the ropes?
31:29As you see the blood flowing
31:31down the face of the challenger.
31:33Check out the math, my God.
31:35Uh-oh. Wait a minute now.
31:40Ospreay drags Omega
31:42towards center.
31:44Omega on the verge of tapping here, Kevin.
31:47That might be the greatest surprise of all
31:49in a match where we've practically seen everything.
31:55Look at that. Will just dives right for the front side.
31:58And now the crossface.
32:03Notice how, as they...
32:05the blood is flowing, the later the match gets,
32:07they're going for the submissions
32:09on both ends here now.
32:11It's not about the picturesque,
32:13the ass-cutters,
32:15those types of high-fly moves.
32:17It's in the gutter,
32:19win at all costs.
32:21Right on the mat.
32:23Get him to tap.
32:25Get him to say,
32:27I give up. I quit.
32:29Omega. Oh, no.
32:31Rolls through. Ospreay maintains control.
32:34Omega may have overcommitted
32:36with the roll through,
32:38and Ospreay anticipates
32:40and now Omega perhaps
32:42in worse position
32:44than he was initially.
32:49Kevin, notice how Ospreay
32:51covering the nose and mouth of Omega.
32:53Right. To inhibit the breathing.
32:55Exactly right.
32:59Yeah, Kenny made it.
33:01And Ospreay, through the
33:03cloudy haze of blood
33:05that shadows his eyes,
33:07now has to envision another
33:09strategy to get victory
33:11here over Kenny Omega.
33:13Now, having somebody locked in a submission hold
33:15and struggling
33:17with every fiber they're being
33:19against you, that's not without a physical cost
33:21for Will Ospreay either.
33:23And that's exactly what Taz would say.
33:25He would talk about the physical cost
33:27that Will Ospreay just went through
33:29in exhausting himself to try to get Omega to submit.
33:31Well, you can see it.
33:33How slowly he got up.
33:35How he staggered at the far side ropes
33:37with the Kiwata kicks.
33:39Omega trying to cover up.
33:43Punctuated with the chop
33:45and now more Kiwata kicks.
33:51Toshiaki Kiwata, a legendary
33:53name in Japanese wrestling.
33:59Brother. A man
34:01that was perhaps
34:03the most dangerous striker
34:05of his generation.
34:07And Will Ospreay
34:09and Kenny Omega.
34:11Oh, man.
34:13Got nothing on that.
34:16Yeah, Will knows it too.
34:18Just dare him to do it again.
34:20Fans getting behind Kenny.
34:22Oh, Kenny got the legs behind him
34:24but nothing else.
34:26Couldn't even. Oh, Kenny just
34:28nothing much here.
34:30Oh, gritting the teeth.
34:32Absorbing the contact
34:34and laying in a headbutt
34:36that drops Omega to his knees.
34:38Knowing that Omega was
34:40did not have much
34:42behind those blows.
34:44Letting him just wear himself out.
34:52Oscutter. Here we go.
34:56Tremendous anti-air
34:58by Kenny Omega.
35:00Kenny knew it was coming.
35:02But Kenny scouted
35:04it well.
35:06And guys, Omega was virtually
35:08in a defenseless position.
35:10All he had
35:12was that ability to throw that knee.
35:14A half step back.
35:16A rising knee strike.
35:18And the complexion of this match
35:20has changed in an instant.
35:22Now, Kenny needs to follow up
35:24with something here. He's pulling himself up
35:26as best he can.
35:28Ospreay. There it is.
35:30Snap, dragon, Ospreay.
35:32We'll do it again.
35:34A second one.
35:36Ospreay is such
35:38a tough athlete.
35:40Omega has to work double,
35:42triple hard to keep him down.
35:44And it was very
35:46nearly the triple snap dragon.
35:50The shot.
35:52And the poison rata.
35:54That will still on his feet.
35:56Ospreay.
35:58Shot to his feet, but not for long. Omega grabbed
36:00the trunks. He spiked him with a pile driver.
36:02Omega.
36:04Whoa!
36:08It doesn't take
36:10a lot to break contact
36:12with the canvas. The shoulder
36:14only has to come up
36:16a millimeter, a centimeter.
36:18He was able to shoot that
36:20right off the mat, Kevin, and that's what
36:22got it in, got it done.
36:24Here we go.
36:26Oh, Omega!
36:28A
36:30neckbreaker.
36:32What a human
36:34struggle this thing has been.
36:38Just a struggle. You can see it on their face.
36:40Look at the face.
36:42You can smell the blood in the air.
36:46Oh, the feet trigger.
36:48And, Kevin, you're right.
36:50We're here at ringside.
36:52The unmistakable scent of iron
36:54in our
36:56nostrils, and there you
36:58go.
37:04Omega thinking
37:06avalanche dragon suplex, perhaps.
37:12Oh!
37:18Oh, my!
37:20Osprey.
37:22Oh!
37:24Look how Kenny's hooking the ropes.
37:26Gas head was trapped,
37:28and Osprey scored with a
37:30thrust kick.
37:32And, wow.
37:34Omega and Osprey were battling
37:36in the ropes. The timekeeper's
37:38table signaled to Justin Roberts,
37:4030 minutes in this match have
37:42elapsed, a time limit of 60.
37:44No, this
37:46is insanity!
37:49Sky
37:51twister press
37:53from the top turnbuckle
37:55to the floor,
37:57and Will Osprey
37:59is feeling
38:01that the IWGP United States
38:03Heavyweight Championship is once again in his grasp.
38:05Sounds the fans made the gas
38:07from that maneuver was incredible.
38:09Look how he gets up on the ropes quickly.
38:11I think he's getting a second win
38:13here, if that's possible.
38:15Blindside shot.
38:19Omega slumped,
38:21prone,
38:23and the hidden blade could be forthcoming.
38:25You can see it, man. He's almost calling
38:27for it.
38:32Here it comes. No!
38:34Omega baited it perfectly.
38:36Both men thinking high kick, both men thinking
38:38lariat.
38:43Omega, no. Osprey
38:45counters.
38:47Liger bomb.
38:49And 2-0!
38:53That time Osprey tried to push the legs
38:55forward but could not.
38:57And Kenny was able to escape.
39:03Out of the corner.
39:05Top rope.
39:07Oscar!
39:09That's it. Look, Kenny's eyes are closed.
39:11He may be out, guys.
39:13Cover by Osprey.
39:152-0!
39:17Was that a kick out or was that
39:19a convulsion?
39:21I thought it was a crunch.
39:23Abdominal crunch?
39:31We've seen something special here, guys.
39:33Stormbreaker, he's gonna try it.
39:35Will his shoulder dislocate
39:37in the effort?
39:39Omega
39:41carrying the weight.
39:43Oh, no!
39:49Paul Turner checking in.
39:51Hold on a second. Look at this.
39:53He was thrown out of here.
39:55He was thrown out of here.
39:59Now, Don Callis, by doing this,
40:01is risking a disqualification for Will Osprey.
40:05If he had any compassion,
40:07he might have a towel with him.
40:09And he might think about maybe
40:11calling for Osprey.
40:13Barking orders at Osprey.
40:29With Paul Turner, he's got a lot on his hands
40:31right now. Not only does he have to worry about
40:33Don Callis returning to ringside, but he also has to
40:35worry about the health, the safety
40:37of champion and challenger alike.
40:39Don Callis gonna get fined for this,
40:41and he should.
40:47Will Osprey, his face is
40:49soaked in blood,
40:51squeezed up against the mat.
40:57Oh, that thud.
40:59It was a sickening thud.
41:09Oh, again.
41:11Kevin, this becomes
41:13a battle of wills.
41:17No pun intended.
41:19Son of his mind.
41:25The brutal reality of professional wrestling.
41:27From time to time, we see it,
41:29and we're living it right now.
41:31And you know that one
41:33was dedicated to Don Callis.
41:35Blood-soaked trunks
41:37up against the side of the head.
41:39Kenny looks pretty good now.
41:41His eyes look kind of clear here.
41:45Yeah, the wound...
41:47No! No!
41:49...on Kenny Omega's head.
41:51Oh, wait, wait, wait a second.
41:53This is...
41:55Well, he's doing what he thinks he must do
41:57to protect his man from the beam trigger.
41:59Wait, what?
42:01Kenny's paused here now.
42:03He's looking. He's looking.
42:05Omega.
42:07He wants to do it.
42:09Oh, bang, the beam trigger.
42:11And look.
42:13Callis trying to pull Ospreay
42:15out of the ring.
42:17And he's done digging in
42:19the pocket.
42:21Yeah, he's not getting money out.
42:23The Scrooge right there,
42:25he's stabbed Kenny Omega with,
42:27and he's passed it to Ospreay.
42:29Oh, no, oh, no, the referee's tied up.
42:31Ospreay, he covered Omega's eyes
42:33so he couldn't see it happening.
42:43And now...
42:45Kenny Blade.
42:51Ospreay looking to remove all doubt.
42:53Omega up.
42:55Stormbreaker.
42:57Omega's out, guys.
42:59Yep, the cover.
43:01No!
43:03No, no, no, no, no!
43:05Foot on the rope! Foot on the rope!
43:09We thought
43:11it was a foregone conclusion.
43:13But Kenny Omega
43:15stunning
43:17the world.
43:23Kenny Omega's
43:25unbelievable, amazing.
43:27And this crowd erupts
43:29with a chant of Kenny.
43:35You have to wonder,
43:37what is Don Callis whispering
43:39to Will Ospreay?
43:41No one knows Omega.
43:43No one knows his weaknesses
43:45better than Kenny's second father.
43:47What is it?
43:49He's just
43:51hovering over Kenny here,
43:53looking at him.
43:55Savory.
43:57Yeah,
43:59savory was the right word, Kevin.
44:01And moving from
44:03the V-Trigger to this.
44:05Oh, no.
44:07Ospreay,
44:09he's got it.
44:11He's got it.
44:13He's got it.
44:15Oh, no.
44:17Ospreay.
44:19Oh.
44:21One-winged angel.
44:23Nobody gets it.
44:25Omega! Omega gets it!
44:27It won! It won!
44:37Don Callis having a connection.
44:39The fans are
44:41incredibly angry.
44:45Ten at his name!
44:57Ospreay.
44:59It's the better of the exchange.
45:01Oh! Walked right into that one.
45:03Ooh, hook kick!
45:07Omega!
45:09Breakbuster!
45:15Come on! Come on!
45:17Come on!
45:19Omega!
45:21Can he seal Will Ospreay's fate?
45:23Wait.
45:25Ospreay fought him out.
45:27Two!
45:29Oh!
45:31The adjustment mid-move.
45:39Well...
45:45Omega.
45:47With Will Ospreay.
45:49Wind. Bang!
45:53The V-Trigger
45:55on target. Omega.
45:57Wait.
45:59Ospreay.
46:01Stormbreaker. Omega
46:03reverses.
46:05Caught!
46:07That elbow dug into the head.
46:09Stormbreaker again. Stormbreaker.
46:11Ooh, no!
46:13TigerDriver91!
46:15This has to be it.
46:17Two and three. No, no, no!
46:19No, no, no!
46:27Damn, that was so close!
46:29But now the
46:31elbow sleeve has been thrown away.
46:33Will Ospreay
46:35channeling another man in green.
46:37And now...
46:39Oh!
46:43Ospreay. Here we go!
46:45Stormbreaker!
46:49Center of the ring.
46:51Two and three!
46:57And new
46:59IWGP
47:01U.S.
47:03Heavyweight Champion
47:05Will
47:07Ospreay!
47:09I wanna celebrate
47:11greatness. I wanna celebrate
47:13this moment.
47:17We've seen two of the all-time
47:19greats.
