00:23Night 14 of G1 Climax 36
00:28here in Gunma, making his way down to ringside right now.
00:31Eight points on the board.
00:33Walks in.
00:34Ryo Heoewa, a former World Tag League winner,
00:37a former Never Openweight Six-Man Tag Team champion.
00:40And hey, I'm sitting right next to a man who knows all about World Tag League,
00:43knows all about the IWGP Tag Team titles.
00:46I'm being joined right now by Oscar in the English broadcast.
00:49Welcome to the booth.
00:51Hey, Waka, Waka!
00:53How's it going?
00:54In Bowl, we say,
00:55All the good links are signed.
00:56This is my third time on comes this tour.
00:59Ready for the...
01:00...hoshik-sep, yoshio-san-hai, kachitel-hachi,
01:04Team BK, The Clip.
01:07OOIWA!
01:08Ryo Heee!
01:09He's not a shitty guy anymore.
01:12That's what his music says.
01:15Well,
01:17It's in the eyes of Spectator,I would say.
01:20Riole Heuwea believes he is wired for survival.
01:23We are going to see
01:24If survival is in mind against Jake Lee tonight.
01:29Oh boy.
01:43Oh man
01:54well this isn't exactly what we've become accustomed to seeing out of jake lee
01:59over the course of 2026
02:03and a man who is featuring a hell of a throwback
02:05a shared history between Ryohei Oyoa and jake lee
02:10just three years ago back in pro wrestling noah
02:14jake lee the former leader of the unit in pro wrestling noah known as the good looking guys
02:19glg and it was not too long ago
02:22just before jake lee dissolved that faction to join new japan right here
02:26where jake lee would offer an invitation to Ryohei Oyoa to join his unit
02:30Oyoa would say no
02:31Oyoa would say i'm gonna forge my own path
02:34and he's definitely managed to do so but jake lee is turning back the clock tonight in
02:39gurma
02:40well and normal
02:43Oyoa is not a good looking guy he is not a shit guy anymore
02:47It's very different
02:48Oh man
03:01when it comes toendeys music i'd say it's two to one for jake lee because
03:08both of this
03:08s on our way better than oowa's only song
03:11oh wow
03:13and ryohei oowa certainly would have a lot to say about that but oowa's gonna
03:16Focus here
03:17A-Block fight in Gunma
03:19Night 14 of G1 Climax 36
03:22Is underway as Ryohei Oyoa
03:24Battles Jake Lee one-on-one
03:26For the first time ever
03:27I got this right
03:32If Oyoa wins today in the next one
03:33Is he guaranteed a spot in the same meet?
03:36It's not entirely guaranteed
03:38But Ryohei Oyoa
03:40At 8 points compared to Jake Lee
03:42On 6 I can tell you with complete certainty
03:44If Jake Lee loses this matchup
03:46He is done and forgotten.
03:47He's out of this year's G1 Climax Tournament
03:51And the rules in the bottom left of your screen
03:53Two points for a victory
03:54One point for a draw
03:55Nothing for a loss
03:57Jake Lee has turned back the clock
03:59Against Ryohei Oyoa tonight
04:02Right into the square
04:03And immediately into the side headlock
04:05I mean Oscar
04:06This tournament has been a conversation
04:08About the side headlock
04:09When it comes to Ryohei Oyoa
04:11Do you care to comment on that?
04:12Well it's definitely an interesting strategy
04:14By the way, I say the least
04:15His headlock
04:16I remember from the dojo days
04:18Already being very strong
04:19But how smart is that strategy
04:21Using a submission that
04:23Has so many ways of escaping
04:25I'm not sure if that is the best call
04:28Or the best idea
04:29You know a lot of people would consider
04:31The side headlock that Ryohei Oyoa
04:33Has been putting down opponent after opponent
04:35Within this G1
04:36A tablet unquote basic
04:37Professional wrestling maneuver
04:39I mean it's one of the first things that
04:40In certain training dojos that you're taught
04:42And right now Ryohei Oyoa has really found a way
04:45To put a new lease on life with the side headlock
04:48It's kind of been incredible
04:49Now it is the first thing that you basically get taught
04:52But it's also the first thing you get taught
04:54How to escape out of it
04:55So I think everyone in pro wrestling should weigh at least
04:58I mean I don't know at least ten ways how to get out of it
05:01So yeah it's definitely I mean they call it the new standard
05:05I think they said it right
05:07Right
05:09Well let's see how far this standard is going to go
05:11Yeah it very well could carry Oyoa a lot farther
05:14He can score a victory over Jake Lee here tonight
05:16As a drop kick right to that previously injured knee
05:19Jake Lee called his extended away time with injury
05:23A vacation in hell
05:25And Oyoa may be looking to send him right back to that deep place
05:29Almost sounds like my excursion
05:32Well certainly there's a lot to talk about there
05:34Well two parts one part was great the other one
05:37Yeah
05:38Not so adventure
05:39Well Ryohei Oyoa I mean this matchup brings up a lot of thoughts
05:42About Oyoa's own excursion
05:43It's something that's been highly debated
05:44You know all across new Japan pro wrestling circles
05:47The idea of a new Japan star going to NOAA to get that excursion
05:51A lot of people saying hey Ryohei Oyoa and a lot of different cats
05:54Would really benefit from getting an international experience
05:57I think Oyoa it's really allowed him to hone in deeper
06:00On these pro wrestling fundamentals
06:02Compared to if he went over to America
06:04And found something a little bit different
06:05It definitely has its positives and its negatives
06:08I still firmly believe that it is very important
06:11For young lions to go out of the dojo
06:13And also go to a different country
06:15Because it's not just about learning new techniques
06:17Or learning technique from the lucha
06:20Or learning American style or Germany European style
06:23It is also about finding yourself
06:25And in that case it's very important to get out of your comfort zone
06:28Find who you really are as a person
06:30And bring that into wrestling
06:31And I think that is much more important
06:32And just honing what you already done to perfection in the dojo
06:36Going to a, well, B company
06:39Sure, sure, I understand the point that you're making there
06:42And while we love our friends over at Pro Wrestling NOAA
06:45Ryohei Oyoa certainly does
06:47Speak for yourself
06:47Yeah, well, Ryohei Oyoa and Jake Lee
06:50Continue to tie it up here and right to the bottom rope
06:53And Jake Lee's gonna take this one
06:54Now, same as me
06:56Long limbs
06:57Submission on a guy like this
06:59Might not be the best way to put it
07:00Because Jake Lee's only
07:02One arm or one leg away from escaping it
07:05I think a lot of people
07:06Look at someone the size of yourself
07:08Or the size of Jake Lee for that matter
07:09And say, well, if I can take out the base
07:11Then I'm going to have this match one going forward
07:13But that's not as easy as it is said
07:15It is definitely not
07:16It is a smart strategy
07:18Oh, and you're starting to see it play out here
07:21As that shot block right to the back of the knee
07:24On Jake Lee
07:25Oyoa looking to try and drive this one away
07:27As Jake Lee got that knee strike right on the jaw of Oyoa
07:31Usually, Oyoa is so great at targeting that one body part
07:34That he can find and just focusing and taking it apart
07:38But then I remember he had that match against Suji
07:40Where Suji's shoulder and arm was just in a lot of pain
07:44And he stopped focusing on it and turned to his headlock
07:46And as you can see, it didn't work out
07:48So sometimes, you know, he still doesn't have that last bit of aggression
07:53And maybe that focus in this end
07:54Which I think you can learn abroad
07:56No, no, no, no, no
07:59There's a lot of people that I think you could say
08:01Bring their personality to professional wrestling
08:04I think of, you know, your own tag team partner
08:05Yuta Weiss for that event
08:07And meanwhile, I think there's others
08:08Who make professional wrestling their personality
08:10And I think Ryohei Oyoa is a key indicator of that
08:13And what we're seeing right now though
08:15It was Jake Lee in post-match comments yesterday in Yokohama
08:18Who thanked Ryohei Oyoa for reminding him
08:21Quote, what professional wrestling can be
08:24And a little bit of tying up that we saw yesterday
08:26Those two
08:27But Jake Lee may not have much to thank Oyoa for here
08:30If Jake Lee gets eliminated tonight
08:32Now I think good for them that they have such a special bond in the ring
08:37And that Jake is so happy that Oyoa taught him what wrestling really is
08:40Maybe, maybe they should kiss in the ring and celebrate
08:43What is this? Come on
08:45This is wrestler
08:46This is a fight you want to win
08:47And I get so sick and tired when people thank their opponents for this great match
08:52I will never thank anyone for a great match
08:54I'm gonna beat them
08:55And I'll thank them
08:56They can thank me for beating them and teaching you a lesson maybe
09:00Yeah
09:00Oh well but
09:02Everyone to their own
09:03Yeah well
09:03I say different strokes for different folks
09:06And right now Ryohei Oyoa looking to put down Jake Lee
09:09Taken in the corner here
09:11And you don't see Oyoa all that often
09:12Head to the top rope here Oscar
09:14When he starts down carefully
09:16That hurts a lot
09:19Very unique looking
09:20Crossbody
09:21Cross body?What do you call it?
09:22Is it a splash?
09:23There you go
09:23There water in the pool for Ryohei Oyoa
09:27As a two count there and Jake Lee able to survive
09:32Oh Jake Lee and Ryohei Oyoa continue this battle in the center
09:36Kick out one more time on the count of one for Jake Lee
09:40Now for being as tall as Jake Lee really is he does get thrown around a lot
09:44I would think he would be more of a strong base and not leave the ground so much
09:49But opponents seem to have quite a not easy time but easy-ish time taking him down
09:54Which might not be to his best benefit
09:56I mean for a man like Jake Lee who has had a crazy amount of injuries that have mounted up
10:00over the course of two years
10:01I think Jake Lee has to avoid being thrown around and struck out by Ryohei Oyoa
10:06tonight
10:06Jake Lee is doing just that though
10:08Going strike for strike blow for blow with the grip
10:22Oh man trying to prove here
10:24Who can last the longest?Who has the most spirit?
10:28Oh looks like it might be Jake Lee on the up
10:33Asking Oyoa to fight back though
10:36And Oyoa is certainly going to oblige
10:38Hooks in that leg
10:40And no one of the grip Jake Lee able to put the stop to it
10:45And Jake Lee one of that knee strike Oyoa with a dragon screw
10:49Very smart by Oyoa
10:51Once again targeting that leg
10:52And Jake Lee right back to the outside here
10:55We've seen Jake Lee feign knee injuries over the course of this G1
10:59It's how he found himself a victory over Hiroki Goto back in Sendai
11:03I
11:03I really believe that Jake Lee is feeling all the pain that we're seeing right now
11:08As Oyoa is looking to drive
11:11Oh, Jake Lee into the outside
11:13And Oyoa right again
11:14This is the first time in a long time we're seeing that side headlock attempted Oscar
11:18Already escaped
11:19Oh
11:20There you can see how quick it can be reversed
11:22You know seeing Jake Lee in the state right now
11:26It reminds you a lot easier than when you see the clown mask or the face paint
11:30That we are talking about a former all Japan triple crown champion
11:33We are talking about a former GHC heavyweight champion
11:36Jake Lee is a hell of a fighter
11:38And if Oyoa can score this win here tonight I think it would be big
11:42That would definitely get him two more points and get him close to the semi-final that's
11:46for sure
11:46And I mean you got to give credit
11:48He is a former champion in two different companies
11:52Now in his third one probably also aiming to become the top champ
11:55Had a championship match this year in February
11:59Coming out and losing and should be on the up
12:02So yeah
12:03Right now Oscar
12:05Fifteen
12:05Fifteen
12:06And Jake Lee is in a desperate need of
12:09Oh
12:09Wait a girl
12:12What the hell is this
12:15Oscar the last time that we saw Jake Lee there was
12:18I could have swore there was no clown makeup
12:21There was no face paint
12:22And now the war paint is on
12:30Well far and away gone is the good-looking guy of Pro Wrestling NOAH
12:34This is New Japan Pro Wrestling's Jake Lee
12:37No that guy is really a psycho
12:39He went under the ring got some lipstick and put it on
12:42In a wrestling match
12:43I have no idea
12:44That guy has lost his mind man what is this
12:46Oh good lord
12:47And we're certainly going to lose a lot of things here tonight
12:49These barricades at one
12:51Oh jeez
12:53Right on the leg too
12:54Young Line is doing a poor job here of
12:56Pushing the women away
12:57Do your job man
12:58Well Jake Lee is certainly trying to get the job done
13:01A man who is fighting for survival
13:03We had to have known this whole time
13:05That the mind games
13:06These pointless thank yous from Jake Lee to Rio Heoewa
13:10It all meant nothing in the end
13:11Jake Lee is a sadistic man
13:16And at six points will do whatever it takes
13:19To survive in G1 climax action
13:24Smile on Jake Lee's face right now too
13:26Being in control
13:28You know He realized
13:30A good-looking guy won't do it.
13:31He has to become a joker
13:33He has to become a joker
13:37Any copyrights here?
13:38No, no, there's fun
13:40Well, Jake Lee meanwhile
13:42Back inside the Ring
13:43And is very keen on a definitive victory here tonight
13:53Jake Lee now big back suplex down on Rio Heoewa
13:57See the height on that that was great
13:58There's a long way down
14:00For the grip to handle
14:06You see the demeanor completely change too with Jake Lee right there
14:09I mean when the bell sounded Oscar Jake Lee had a keen interest in tying up with OIWA
14:16in the ring and it
14:17You know trying to dance circles around OIWA
14:20Right now Jake Lee is tapping in
14:23To a former killer
14:24That has been long gone
14:26Jake Lee wanted a face break shot
14:28And OIWA right out of the corner here
14:29Jack knife into the Roy Clutch
14:31Roy Clutch
14:32Count of two for OIWA and Lee
14:37Oh OIWA put up a hell of a defense there
14:38But Jake Lee found the opening
14:40Broke through the armor there did Lee
14:42And OIWA's down to the canvas again
14:49Jake Lee is as disrespectful as they come
14:53And Lee is going to continue to earn
14:56Everything that he has coming his way
14:58He could earn eight points on the board with a win right now
15:01He has to earn those two points to stay alive
15:06This dude will die for Jake Lee right now
15:10Catching the leg there
15:12Smart by OIWA
15:13Smart by OIWA
15:22OIWA not letting go of that right knee
15:26And inverted dragon screw there
15:29And OIWA one more time
15:31Oh good god
15:33I have been on the end of that move
15:38And I tell you what
15:39You do not want your knee to bend like that
15:41No not at all
15:42And OIWA now
15:43Keeping the target on that knee
15:44Keeping it on the ankle
15:45The right side
15:47Absolutely torn to shreds by Jake Lee here
15:50But OIWA again keeping this one dead center
15:53And drop down
15:54That was masterfully executed Oscar
15:57The grip there, though
15:58If he could have held onto it
15:59It would have been masterful
16:00But he didn't
16:01So he still has something to learn
16:04Smart by OIWA here though
16:06Going for the leg again
16:07And he learned from his mistakes
16:08Not just going for a headlock again
16:11He knows that is a weak part right now of Jake Lee
16:13And he's putting his fully weight now on that too
16:16Wow
16:17Wow
16:18Look at this
16:19What do we call it
16:20A reverse single leg bust
16:21And it's over
16:22Whatever you call it
16:23It's effective
16:23Ryohei OIWA's done it
16:25Jake Lee is out of G1 Climax
16:33I don't know what that move was
16:37That must have been so very painful for Jake Lee though
16:40Because he tapped quick
16:41One setting was locked on
16:43Ryohei OIWA two more spaces
16:50He's not a shit guy anymore
16:51Oh well
16:53Well
16:55We shall see
16:56Ten points on the board
16:58That is one thing that is undisputed
16:59For Riohei OIWA
17:03A man who is now tied to Bolton Oleg and Konosuke Takeshita
17:07When it comes down the numbers
17:09But a tie break
17:10Well a very different situation
17:12And a conversation that we'll be talking about
17:14Allin this one
17:16Jake Lee has been eliminated however
17:21From this year's G1 Climax tournament
17:23The third man to face elimination
17:25And the second to face hands
17:27Face elimination at OIWA himself
17:30I don't know who's happier right now
17:33I don't know who's happier right now
17:33Oroiwa for his two points
17:34Or Jake Lee
17:35Trying to
17:39what do you do with his hands there?
17:41It's been good for the final 2
17:42And the Facing for a block
17:43It's very much good for OIWA's victory
17:47How?
18:17G1 Climax final dream for Jake Lee has come to an end
18:20but the G1 Climax road is far from over
18:23August 12th
18:24We are going to be back with more action in A-block competition
18:27Yodosuji will go one-on-one
18:30his final 36th G1 block matchup
18:34Coming his way on August 12th
18:36Against the IWGP Heavyweight Champion Yodosuji
18:38And meanwhile
18:43Rioheolewa August 12th
18:45This is going to be a Smash Mouth fight
18:48One-on-one with the Alpha

18:52In the great town of Shizuoka
18:58We love Shizuoka
18:59It is certainly a town in Japan
