00:00Chikara fans, you know tonight this is special.
00:16Tonight I go against the great Sonata in the finals of the Ray DeVilduras Tournament.
00:23With your help, Shinran will be the next King of Flying.
00:29Let's talk about the great Sonata for a second.
00:31I know what you bring to the table, Sonata.
00:33Everybody does.
00:34We know how dangerous you are.
00:36We know your myths.
00:37We know your strikes.
00:38We know you were trained by the legendary great Muda.
00:42Let me tell you something about the man under this mask.
00:46You see, the past year has been one of the toughest years of my career.
00:51I've been through more turmoil, more heartbreaks, more devastation than a lot of people do
01:00in their entire career.
01:02But you know, tonight is where I bring it back to the table.
01:07Tonight is where it comes full circle.
01:10Tonight is when I'm crowned King, the new King of Flying.
01:21Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the protagonist of the great Muda, the great Sonata!
01:52Sonata! Sonata! Sonata!
01:59And here's the poem.
02:02Jinron!
02:04Jinron!
02:06Jinron!
02:08Jinron!
02:10Jinron!
02:12Jinron!
02:14Yeah!
02:16Jinron!
02:18What's up, people?
02:20What's up, people?
02:22We're the Spirit Dragons.
02:24Ladies and gentlemen, this time, please welcome the great Sonata.
02:29Every soul who could be here today,
02:32he is the spirit dragon,
02:37Shenlong!
02:59Shenlong! Shenlong! Shenlong!
03:29Shenlong, you ready?
03:40Ready.
03:41Give me a bell!
03:43Here we go, the finals of the 2014
03:46Rey de Voladores tournament.
03:49Both men in the blue, Shenlong wearing the mask,
03:53Sonata with the face paint.
03:56Somewhat of that of his mentor, his trainer, the great Muda,
03:59one of the greatest professional wrestlers in the history of the world.
04:03The world.
04:04Being joined at commentary by one of the greatest commentators in all the history of the world.
04:08Galaxy.
04:09Oh, are you the Galaxian now as well?
04:13Defender in the Galaga.
04:16Ultraman is black here.
04:18Sonata, last night,
04:22overcame A.R. Fox, Orlando Christopher, and Amasis
04:26to get to this point.
04:28Shenlong defeated Rich Swann, Chuck Taylor, and Tigre Uno.
04:33Those were the men.
04:35They've come a long way to get to this point.
04:37Maybe.
04:38Both men, premier high flyers.
04:41This will be a great feather in the cap of Shenlong,
04:44just being in the ring with someone the caliber of Sonata.
04:47Sonata, who has been racking up victories all over the world,
04:50both in Japan, former X Division champion,
04:54Impact Wrestling.
04:56Look at the speed.
04:57Whoa.
05:03Whoa.
05:06And Mantis, there you see the poison mist.
05:15But you've got to think, Charles, now that he's expelled the mist,
05:17he's asked to be tapped out, right?
05:19Can't use that as a weapon.
05:20Whoa.
05:22Well, again, last night's contest,
05:24he did that ceremonial mist beforehand,
05:26and then at the end of the contest,
05:28sprayed a different colored mist into the eyes of Amasis.
05:32So I'm not really sure exactly how he was able to do it.
05:36Whoa.
05:38It is a mystery to me, Mantis.
05:40Whoa.
05:41As is that, the way Shenlong can move and fly.
05:44Wow.
05:47Absolutely boggles my mind what this young man can do.
05:51Whoa.
05:53Whoa.
05:55Whoa.
05:57Whoa.
05:59Spirit dragon here, Shenlong rolling his opponent,
06:03the great Sonata, into the ring.
06:06Whoa.
06:08Whoa.
06:10Whoa.
06:12Whoa.
06:14Two, but an early two on the kick out there by Sonata.
06:19Trying to roll away, not realizing where Shenlong was.
06:23Maybe lured Shenlong into a false sense of security as he pulled him in.
06:27Oh, now wait a second here, Mantis.
06:30You know what that means, Carson, don't you?
06:32He pulls off that mask.
06:33That's an immediate disqualification is what that is.
06:36And I don't think that's the way Shenlong wants to win this
06:38Rey de Voladores tournament, quite frankly.
06:40Absolutely not.
06:42And again, I don't know if that's Sonata's plan,
06:45or if he's just doing it to try to throw the-
06:47Whoa.
06:49Younger Shenlong off his game, but instead he's trying to pull the mask off.
06:52Instead he just German suplexed him over the top rope to the floor.
06:56He surely did.
06:59No, Shenlong's going to get that 20 count.
07:01Lucia rules, but I don't know, can he make it up by 20 after that?
07:04Not that it matters.
07:05Sonata now following out, stalking his prey.
07:12I wouldn't have been surprised if Shenlong
07:14would have taken the count out victory on that one.
07:17Let's go, Shenlong!
07:19Let's go, Shenlong!
07:21Let's go, Shenlong!
07:23Let's go, Shenlong!
07:25Sonata has the experience, and I'll be honest with you,
07:28I'm not really sure exactly who trained Shenlong.
07:32I know he's been to a lot of different promotions,
07:34done a lot of different clinics,
07:36but when you have someone the caliber,
07:38the pedigree of the great Muta,
07:40showing you the ins and outs of the world of professional wrestling,
07:43I think that's going to give you a pedigree over most other competitors
07:46that you're going to step into the squared circle with.
07:48That's a pedigree.
07:50Unless you're going in there with someone who was trained by the great Kabuki,
07:53but nonetheless.
07:54Oh, a very dangerous Kabuki.
07:58Barbara, you know, I've noticed he's easily misled
08:02by Sonata thus far this weekend.
08:04I think he was pointing at Mr. Money, who was great Sonata.
08:07Oh.
08:09You know, you speak of Mr. Money, Shigarazu,
08:11perhaps you haven't met Monster, or Coconut, or Krampus,
08:14or even Harry the Cow.
08:16The conniving feline crew of one great and devious,
08:19Ultraman is black.
08:21When are you going to start bringing these cats to events?
08:23Oh, the time is coming, my friend.
08:27Hope somebody creates faux Twitter accounts for all of your cats
08:31and just torments you for the rest of your life.
08:33Oh, that's not torment, that's pleasure.
08:36And now Sonata.
08:38Oh, John Barber finally laying down the law.
08:43I will say this, great Sonata was taking advantage
08:47of the easily distractable Jonathan Barber Saturday,
08:53and this has just seemed to anger Sonata more than anything else.
09:02Irish whip to the buckle.
09:05Shenron in with the quickness.
09:07Up to his feet.
09:09Scores with the diamond cutter.
09:15Very nicely done there.
09:18But can he capitalize?
09:20Can Shenron follow up?
09:29Oh.
09:32Splattered him in the lower turnbuckle.
09:36And now Shenron.
09:41Whoa.
09:43From the bottom, did you see that, Shikara Sen?
09:45You're busy there with your games, your fun and games.
09:48You missed it, you missed quite a maneuver.
09:51Blew my mind.
09:53I'm getting updated information from the Golden Trio
09:56from their strategy sessions.
09:58Well, you know what, you can watch the replay
10:00on Smartmock Video starting tomorrow, streaming live.
10:03Whoa, look at that.
10:05From the second rope, Shenron saw Sonata move out the way.
10:16And Sonata with that wrist tape.
10:18Well, Barber saw that one right away,
10:20and right away getting in there, trying to break it up in Sonata.
10:24High stakes in this contest, Barber.
10:26If this was any other day, Barber would have
10:28just immediately disqualified Sonata.
10:34That was really close, Shikara Sen, very close.
10:42Ooh, look at that German suplex there.
10:45Popped him over and then just dropped him.
10:47Holding on here, rolling through with a series of them now.
10:57Oh, no!
11:04Shenron, though, still showing a lot of heart,
11:07still showing a lot of spirit, if you will.
11:09I guess.
11:10Staying in this contest.
11:18Shenron the Spirit Dragon, an homage to the Dragon Ball animation.
11:23I know you're more of a fan of Sailor Moon.
11:25Looney Tunes.
11:26I know you're more of a fan of Sailor Moon.
11:28If you say.
11:29Perhaps Cutie Honey.
11:31Sounds obscene to me, but right now...
11:34These are for children.
11:38Familiar with the Howdy Doody and the Hatchimalatchy
11:40in the Romper Room, but no one knows what it will speak, my friend.
11:44Manny Gordon, sadly, not in attendance.
11:49One, two, three.
11:52Sonata trying to toss Shenron out of the ring.
11:55No, he holds on.
11:56The body control that people like Shenron have,
12:00just so amazing what he can do in the squared circle
12:03using everything in the ropes just to maneuver around
12:07like he's defying gravity, Mantis.
12:13Defying gravity, Shades of Wicked.
12:15Uh-oh.
12:16Asaido Sky Twister.
12:20And he looked like he connected his knee
12:22upside the head of Sonata.
12:24That very easily could have been a knockout blow.
12:40Referee Jonathan Barber with a count of almost ten there.
12:43Shenron tossing Sonata in this time.
12:50You see those heavily taped hands of Jonathan Barber.
12:53That tag gauntlet he handled both sprinkles.
12:56His hands were ripped to shreds.
13:02We saw this happen last night.
13:09Where Sonata put the referee in front of him.
13:14Shenron here flips the rope.
13:16Connects with a kick in the back of the head.
13:19Cover.
13:22Oh, Barber very slow there.
13:24Perhaps a little worse of a wear from that little tussle he took.
13:28I think he was shooken up.
13:30Yeah, shooken.
13:37Looking to go for a neckbreaker variation there.
13:40And again, Barber.
13:43Again with that mist.
13:45The poisonous red.
13:47That's more of a stinging mist.
13:49Unlike the green which is a blinding mist.
13:52That's how he defeated Amasis to advance to the finals.
13:56And somehow Shenron covered in that poison mist, kicked out.
14:00You know that mist that burns the flesh, it burns the eyes.
14:04Went for the moonsault.
14:06Landed on his feet.
14:09Oh!
14:10Shenron with a 360 neckbreaker.
14:12Unbelievable!
14:14I thought that was all.
14:16I thought so as well.
14:18I was ready to just throw the plaque up there and award him the match.
14:21Even though I don't have the authority to do that.
14:23Deus mio.
14:30Oh!
14:32630 off the second rope.
14:34Comes crashing down.
14:35Sonata is done and Shenron is your winner!
15:05And the winner of 2013,
15:09the Emmy award goes to
15:12the spirit dragon,
15:15Shenron!
15:24You did it, Shenron!
15:27You did it, Shenron!
15:29You did it, Shenron!
15:32You did it, Shenron!
15:35You deserve it!
15:37You deserve it!
15:40You deserve it!
15:43You deserve it!
15:45You deserve it!
15:48You deserve it!
15:54The new king of high flying!
15:56High flying!
16:05You deserve it!
