00:00Some big-ass fools
00:11Both of these men will be a lot more likable if they weren't in the United Empire
00:15What a bunch of bums that is
00:17Imagine having to be friends with Francesco Riquero
00:21Little ginger pube head
00:25Ikuzo! Ikuzo!
00:27Shut up man, give me a headache
00:31Speaking of headaches, I gave this guy a big headache in February for about three months
00:42Someone get me a lemon sour
00:51There are a lot of people looking for an opportunity of their own
00:54at the gold that Henare currently holds and brings to ringside
00:57The Never Openweight Champion Henare walks in, day 49 of his title reign
01:03Men like Tomoaki Honma, Honomu Takahashi, Kanosuke Takeshita, David Finlay
01:09All laying down shots and earning opportunities potentially in the future
01:13With victories over Henare in Block B competition
01:19But tonight it is not about gold, but it is about what that gold represents
01:23The people that represent that gold
01:25Henare, Never Openweight Champion
01:27Takes on the New Japan World Television Champion in Jeff Cobb
01:32And all respect very well could go out the window
01:36For a total of 30 minutes in the time limit we have
01:44Sorry, you're sending me to sleep with that
01:46What did you say?
01:55Yeah!
02:25Yeah!
02:42Jeff Cobb entered G1 Climax yet again this year
02:46His 6th G1 Climax in professional wrestling history
02:50And Cobb has had a lot of words to share about an impending new generation
02:55The people that are coming and knocking at his door
02:58As he currently reigns as World Television Champion
03:02And while Jeff Cobb comes in looking for the fight of his life
03:05There are many men in Block B who have been able to give it to him so far
03:09Kanosuke Takeshita being one of them
03:11But it is not about Takeshita, it is about United Empire tonight
03:15Could United Empire implode between Cobb and Henare?
03:20The World Television Champion
03:22The Inferior Unit
03:24Jeff Cobb
03:28Henare
03:47It would be interesting to see if Irodiza has any balls
03:50And, you know, attacks and moves for it straight away
03:54Because just because you're in the same unit doesn't matter
03:57This is the G1 Climax, what are you talking about?
03:59And those are the exact words of Jeff Cobb and Henare alike
04:02Both men willing to put aside any personal preference they have toward one another
04:06Any unit, any gold
04:08It is all about one goal
04:10It's the main event of the Tokyo Dome, the World Heavyweight Championship on the line
04:14Oh, they're going, there you go
04:17And no one is going to hit harder
04:19Than Henare and Jeff Cobb in Block B as we're right in
04:22Kawaranobu Taiyo
04:30There you go
04:44Henare getting the better of that exchange
04:47But only for a short period of time
04:49It's back and forth between Cobb and Henare
04:51Early on, Henare hits those ropes
04:53Cobb going to hit them himself
04:55And it's a harder impact to take down the Never Openweight Champion
05:01Yo, Kato better be ready on job
05:03These might be the two heaviest men in the tournament, am I wrong?
05:06Yeah, you're right about that
05:07They might be
05:09Let's hope they don't go to the top rope
05:11Bloody Nora
05:14Henare in post-match comments talking about a match between
05:17Two island boys, the Hawaiian native and Jeff Cobb
05:20Island boy
05:22The Maddie Warrior
05:24Henare
05:25Says it's Pacific vs. Pacific
05:27Brother vs. Brother
05:28And they will give each other everything they have
05:31In 100% of this fight
05:33Yo, he just gave him everything in the bread basket
05:42Oh, you easy now
05:44Henare is taking a lot of inspiration
05:47From that man over the years
05:49No, fair play though
05:51That was an elbow to the jaw side
05:54Yeah, Henare wanted to charge in
05:56Could have wanted that native knee
05:57And instead that lariat is going to come through
06:08Precise striker in a lot of ways is Henare
06:10But very little control in the mental game
06:12You know that having stepped in the ring
06:14With Henare in the past, even in singles action
06:16Henare whooped his ass, what are you talking about?
06:19Don't talk...
06:20I'm getting ready to punch you in your jaw, Walker
06:23Wait, what did I do?
06:24Shut up, whacker
06:25Oh my god
06:26Whacker
06:27Little fool, whacker
06:31I'll whack you in a minute
06:39Henare wants to take Cobb out here
06:44Wanted berserker bomb
06:45Instead that gut wrench deadlift for Jeff Cobb
06:49Suplex takes down Henare
06:51Wearing like a wet chucky top
07:02Jeff Cobb has been wrestling much longer than Henare has
07:06At the highest level
07:07At the level we're at now in New Japan Pro Wrestling
07:11And yet Henare sits six points on the board
07:13Jeff Cobb sitting at four
07:16Cobb is going to have to try and do everything he can
07:18To match Henare
07:19And the point department's got that uppercut
07:21Right to the spine
07:23Listen, I don't like either of these guys
07:25But I'll give Jeff Cobb credit
07:27This guy's agile, this guy's an athlete
07:29Yes he is
07:30You can't underestimate him
07:37But it's moments like this
07:38You called back to it the last time you joined us
07:40In the English booth
07:41Too much
07:42What's he playing at?
07:44You have a guy on the ground
07:45And you just want to mess around and go surfing
07:50It's brother versus brother tonight
07:51And it's a little bit of brotherly love
07:54He pissed now
07:58This is great strategy here from Henare
08:00Trying to take Cobb off that power base
08:04And it's not working out too well for this point
08:08Henare
08:10Disaster kick
08:14Jeff Cobb's body seizing up on the canvas
08:34I don't know if this lip pillow is hitting me a little bit too much
08:37But I'm enjoying this
08:38These guys are whacking each other
08:43I like violence
08:44Let's get that clear
08:45I like violence
08:47So enough pussy-footing around
08:49Let's get to the point here
08:51I want to see someone get knocked out in this
08:55There you go
09:03How are you going to do a full Nelson to a man that has no neck?
09:06That's very difficult
09:07You idiot
09:08This is what I'm talking about
09:09Henare ain't got it like me
09:11Oh, wait a minute
09:13Nearly, nearly
09:14But not enough
09:15Jeff Cobb backs out into that corner
09:19Damn
09:20That was two as well
09:22That's a combo right there
09:23Chop with the left
09:25And it comes right through on the right
09:29Oh, dare me
09:32We've seen Jeff Cobb go to this place time and time again
09:35throughout this tournament
09:36Takeshita being one of the people feeling these shots
09:40But Henare has never felt the brunt of this from Jeff Cobb
09:43in his entire career
09:51If Henare gets out of this, what's he going to do?
09:54There you go
09:56And Jeff Cobb, look at the height on that dropkick
10:01Oh, what a man
10:02Henare's lucky he's playing it firmly on that top turnbuckle
10:05He could have taken a spill to the outside
10:07But he might meet something much worse here
10:09Jeff Cobb
10:11Look at this
10:12Jeff Cobb
10:13Stalls down
10:14Superplex City
10:16Oh, my
10:17He suddenly jumped out of them silver boots
10:20Well, Jeff had on himself more damage
10:21Look at him
10:22Look at the position he was in
10:23You're right, Dave
10:24Leg up in the air
10:25That's the thing
10:26You can't expect that that's just going to do damage to your opponent
10:29You're falling from the second rope
10:32Jeff Cobb into the cover
10:34And Henare out at one
10:35Up, down
10:36Standing
10:37Moonsault
10:38Cobb in
10:39Two
10:44Dave, I know you have to be loving this matchup
10:46Watching United Empire tear each other apart tonight
10:50You're right
10:52I'm enjoying this lip pillow a little bit more
10:54And these lemon sours that I've been sneaking
10:56But they're going at it
10:58They're going at it
11:04Jeff Cobb
11:05Sends Henare off those ropes
11:07Scouted toward the islands out
11:08Instead, Henare
11:10Going to have to change direction
11:12It's a spin cycle
11:17Henare
11:18Henare
11:19Henare
11:20Come back, Henare
11:27Henare
11:28Oh, snap
11:30Something's unleashed in Jeff Cobb right now
11:33Rainmaker style
11:34Nope
11:39Henare charges in
11:40Native knee
11:41Caught by Jeff Cobb
11:43The power
11:44The power
11:45Jeff Cobb is over
11:47Holy
11:50Josh
11:51Josh
11:55Just getting nipples out for two seconds
11:58Alright then, mate
11:59Yeah, and it cost you
12:01Oh, switch though, switch though
12:02Took too much time
12:03Jeff Cobb
12:04Right back in
12:05On it
12:06Elbow misses out
12:07Henare
12:08Dodged a bullet
12:09There, delivers one of his own
12:11Look at the hang time on that
12:14Jeff might be out, you know
12:17And you see it
12:18Jeff Cobb
12:19Completely crumples to the ground
12:38And he's going to have to fight it here
12:40Drop that knife
12:47Oh, Henare
12:48Into the cover
12:49Onto Cobb
12:51He's gotta go
12:52He's gotta go
12:53Watch it
12:54Watch for it
12:55Rugby punt
13:01And it's berserker bomb
13:03That plants Cobb down in the center
13:06But it's not going to be what gets the three
13:08Not yet, Gabe
13:10Oh, no
13:15Henare gotta go all out right now
13:17He gotta give it everything
13:19Look at that
13:20Look at that little scar on his head
13:22Little, excuse me
13:23Big scar
13:25Pops me every time
13:26Yeah, a scar that you were the one to deliver for life for Henare
13:31I've never seen that amount of blood in my life
13:33It was glorious
13:37Henare
13:38Never forgetting
13:41Cobb now
13:42German suplex right on that back of the neck
13:48And it's rampage
13:50Oh, didn't get it all
13:51He got it
13:52He got it
13:53No, no, no
13:56If he got it all
13:57And picked Jeff Cobb all the way up there
13:58That could have been it
13:59The amount of impact going down on that bone
14:03Listen, Jeff Cobb a big geezer
14:04You gotta adapt when you're in the room with Jeff Cobb
14:08Look at him
14:09All that manner
14:10Go on, show it now
14:11There you go
14:13Have a bit about yourself
14:22Henare
14:24Wants that Fisherman Buster if he can get it
14:26Calls it the Streets of Rage
14:28And we're walking a different road right now
14:30Body shot
14:33Liver shot that is
14:35Not the one you can buy in Lawson
14:37He's gotta go
14:38I keep saying it
14:39He's gotta go
14:40What are you playing at, man?
14:41Sense of urgency here
14:42Need to feel it more so
14:44And Jeff Cobb is gonna take the advantage without it
14:47Up and underneath
14:49Underneath
14:50These two brick walls collide
14:52And one will crumble to the ground
15:04Jeff Cobb
15:05To be able to do it
15:06To put eight points on the board
15:08Cobb now
15:09What a tour of the islands
15:11Henare
15:12Spinning hook
15:13Got him flesh
15:20And look
15:25Jeff Cobb on Julian Street
15:27Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute
15:29There's a whirlwind coming through Nagoya
15:31It's F5000
15:35Look at that
15:39Ha, look at his posh
15:43Hey
15:44These guys are going all out
15:46They don't care about the United Empire right now
15:48That's what they need a bit more of
15:50If you wrestle like this against anybody else
15:52Then you'll be braver, but
15:54These guys play too many games
15:56They don't play games around here
15:58It's New Japan Pro Wrestling, man
16:00Neither man wants to lose that on their opportunity
16:02For a Tokyo Dome main event
16:06Hey
16:07Hey
16:13Get up
16:14Get up
16:17They're doing a Max Holloway right now
16:19But he cannot stand up
16:21So, no reason
16:36Jeff Cobb
16:39And it's tour of the islands
16:42Put out to pasture
16:44Here tonight
16:45Cobb with 8 points on the board
16:59And the complexion of Block B
17:01Changes completely now
17:03Top 2 names in Block B
17:05David Finlay
17:06Jeff Cobb
17:07Matched at 8 points apiece
17:09Cobb with a victory over United Empire Zone
17:14Standing
17:16I don't know what they were doing at the end there
17:17They were having a little moment together
17:19Or something like that
17:20But that cost Tanahri the match
17:23I don't know what you're thinking
17:24A man calls you out to stand up
17:25And you throw up a
17:27A shaka shaka sign
17:28You're an idiot
17:31You're a fool
17:33There may be respect between the island boys here tonight
17:36But there is no love lost when it comes
17:39To tournament points being on the line
17:41Those points awarded to Cobb
17:438 in total
17:44Tanahri continues his run at 6
18:037
18:24Gabe, Tanahri just lost a hard fought battle
18:26I have no idea how you can be laughing at this time
18:34Folks, we're going to be trying to move on here
18:36Jeff Cobb coming up next
18:38Will Bates off against Bolton Oleg
18:40As soon as Block B
18:42Returns to Corican Hall
18:44On August 7th
19:03Yeah, what?
19:04What, hit the fence near me?
19:05I'll slap the shit out of you
19:06Break your head here if you do that
19:08Fool
19:15Coming up next, August 7th
19:18Corican Hall, B Block action
19:20Tanahri takes on Yota Tsuji
19:22One on one
19:23Yota Tsuji still to come
19:25Competing in our main event here tonight
19:27Against Ren Narita
19:28But before that, we come to this
19:30It is time for our semi-main event of the evening
19:33Hiroki Goto takes on Kurosuke Takeshita
