I wish more people understood how much a fucking legend Josh Barnett is.
Considering he defeated Dean Lister… yes, he is.
I understand. Greatest martial artist of all time. World champion catch wrestler, world class jujitsu black belt, UFC fighter, Vale Tudo, bare knuckle fighter, you name it he’s done it!
The baby face assasin
Josh Barnett!? I had no idea GCW put on awesome shows like this. I found my way here through Nick Wayne vs Will Osprey. This is wrestling!
Barnetto-san is an absolute legend in the ring,on the mats and in life generally speaking. Dude is as cool as a fan. That video of him torture racking a guy and throwing him off the stage while he was security at a rock show was hilarious too. I've always dug and appreciated his commitment to grappling, fighting and pro wrestling. That scarf choke he got Lister with was nice. I train shoot and BJJ, and that scarf choke is a great option from the scarf hold position.
It’s funny that you can tell who can actually fight from a wrestling match. Both guys are mma legends! Both pioneers, Suzuki basically founded pancrase and Barnett I believe was the youngest ufc champion at one point.
wes dryden Barnett is also the last King of Pancrase, a title which Suzuki is a notable holder of.
Also both of them was pro wrestlers prior to pancrase and UFC. Masakatsu funaki and minor Suzuki both founded panrace hybrid wrestling. They were both pro wrestlers from NJPW ( new Japan pro wrestling)
@@silverzombie4477 wrong he's the last King of Pancrase Openweight Championship
@@brandonselitetv1436 Which is the King of Pancrase title that was originally the only available title... That Suzuki held... Which is what they said...
@Kabob Brewster absolute BS. First of all Suzuki never fought in Rings. Why would he fight for a rival company when he was a pancrase fighter. Secondly can we please stop this myth that majority of fights in pancrase were works. Yes I am not denying that there were a few works which like Pride FC and Rings is not surprising as they were MMA organisations created on the back of pro-wrestling. Sometimes for the good of business it had to be done. The majority of Suzuki fights were totally legit. Name the fights that you believe were works and we can break it right down! The whole reason Suzuki and Funaki created pancrase was because they wanted to show there skills in non work environment. Suzuki had 30 wins and 19 losses. Are you really trying to claim that if only 5 of them were legit that Suzuki booked himself to lose that many matches. Makes no sense at all!
I think the only reason Suzuki likes competing in the u.s. is because the crowd goes off when that Kaze Ni Nare hits.
Kaze Ni Nare
@@Thund3rDrag0n12 used voice to text when i made this so my bad😅
Ryu’s theme? Ah that one arashi ni nare hahaha
I think he also likes competing in the US because we love violence as much as he does lol
Gotta love when a fantastic worked grappling match with 2 absolute legends features commentary from 2 dudes that couldn't name a single submission, or position.
there's always some negative nancy... who cares about the names of the holds or moves or whatnot. this aint real sports. the commentary did what they are suppossed to do: help tell the story to the audience.
GCW commentary is the weakest part of its game
it's gcw. a shitshow of a wrestling company playing pretend "major" wrestling company
@@LilliamSlasher Watch AEW and then watch WWE and tell me the names of moves don't matter. Excalibur is the best commentator in the business, he knows the history of every wrestler, and he knows all of the moves, AND he helps tell the story of the match and the story of a feud in general. Then there's Michael Cole "Could it be? It is!" "What a throw". It definitely matters. It matters in terms of telling a story and it matters when it comes to giving the product more legitimacy.
@Lilliam Slasher and the audience for worked grappling contests care about the names of grappling holds.
I am so happy to see Minoru Suzuki is popular in USA.
takutaku takkunn -he’s considered one of the fathers of MMA.
One of the oldest professional fighters in the business. A mma legend.
GOATs should always be appreciated, even in their later years.
I'd thought that Bruce Lee was the father of MMA .
@@RicardoPerez-rz8pu He did say one of the fathers. My opinion the same can be said about Bruce Lee, Helio Gracie and the Gracie familly and Masakatsu Funaki. Rest are pioneers like Ken and Frank Shamrock, Dan Severn, Bas Rutten etc.
A lot of Respect for Minoru Suzuki.
The man's a Legend.
Right next to The Undertaker himself.
Moxley watched this from the balcony and thought “I want to fight both these guys”
Moxley is a pussy.
No really, moxley isn’t a shooter. Those guys are.
Varmando Varuso -William regal is trained in shooting in England. Moxley is a CM punk black belt.
Varmando Varuso just telling you the truth that the pussy Moxley isn’t in the class of Antonio Inoki, Lou Thesz or even a Yoshi Tatsu.
Do some research young mark.
superlyger perfect description of Moxley.
There's a video of Josh a while back talking about some catch-wrestling techniques he had learned back in the day, and he mentioned Minoru Suzuki as one of the OG's who had a uniquely painful method for riding opponents. Minoru's MMA days are clearly long past, and Josh would obviously decimate him in a real fight, but it's still cool seeing the respect Josh has for one of the most underrated pioneers of modern combat sports.
Josh is a natural heavyweight (about 220-230 pounds) and Suzuki is a natural light heavyweight (about 195-200 pounds). If it is a real fight then it's not a fair fight. Josh would easily win 8 out of 10 times.
@@sdroy84agt Sakuraba is Welterweight and most his opponent is Light heavyweight to heavyweight and still won submission them, out grappling them etc.. Is all about technique, Catch wrestling and BJJ already prove it long ago..but Suzuki is old here and he never developed to he own ring catch wrestling style. If he focus on it he woll beat most his opponent
@@ryzalboyz9511he never faced any serious strikers
Sports Entertainment fans are like: "WTF is this????" After 2005 MMA fans are like: "WTF is this????"
Hahaha this comment is exactly what I am feeling right now lol
Bare Knuckle!
You're not familiar with UWFi?
this my friend is Heritage
Bruh... I just finished JRE Podcast with Josh. On a whim, decided to see if I could find a fight to watch. This was the first non Russian speaking one that came up. I'm like whaaaaahhhthahhhfahhhhhhk.
Josh Barnett came into this fight in better shape than he does for his MMA competitions😂😂😂
It's from the PEDs lol
James Roush yeah... unfortunately Josh has the 80s wrestler’s mentality about cosmetic PEDs. It’s hurt him heavily in MMA.
@@ficedulamortis6434 - Can't believe he just pissed hot for the 5th time, and in Bellator to boost... after his third failed drug test that erased an amazing looking Affliction event, I thought I'd never forgive him... but I just can't say mad at the baby faced assassin
Catch wrestling need more energy and stamina.. just like Greco roman wrestler
Ryzal Boyz -depends...sakuraba was a chain smoker who fought and defeated Royce in an almost two hour fight. Then went on and fought a draw with the number two ranked heavyweight at the time; Igor Vovchachyn. Tamura also out endured Renzo in their bout.
Catch Wrestling training is predicated on stamina building. Such as both aerobic and anaerobic. High rep Hindu squats and Bodyweight calisthenics with a boxer’s road work.
Never really got the whole wrestling thing, but as a fight fan, this is actually quite entertaining and fun. It's like a fight but with both fighters having neutral egoes and just having fun and showing off their skills within play.
The whole origin of pro wrestling comes from the idea of taking real men who were trained in some sort of martial art and working (scripting) the matches in a way that simulates a real street fight or what you may see in Bellator/UFC today, but with more polish on their moves and controlling the environment in their favor.
This is what all wrestling used to look like, which is why it was so popular decades ago. All the silly stupid kid stuff really ruined the whole thing, now most people like you who would've liked pro wrestling if you were born in 1950 just think of it as silly stupid kid shit because that's what it is since Vince McMahon ruined the whole thing.
@@fabledogify oh don't blame it all on the gobbley gooker, catch wrestling went out of style until recently because most of the time spent in the ring in American matches were standing rest holds, because they were sweating before they hit the mat. People watch more Bret Hart matches these days too, that could be it too
TL;DR Pro wrestling became scripted because [fan favourite wins = big money] and it evolved as a theatrical entertainment show from its legit brothers. You watch like watching a Marvel movie, not as a UFC fight.
Pro Wrestling evolved from legit Catch Wrestling (which is like sadist BJJ) along with other grappling styles from the late 1800s-1900s.
They made it scripted bc it would make the promoters more money if they book to win the fan favourite, even if his opponent is a far better grappler. This isn't to say that all punches/grapples/throw are fake, it still hurts as hell. As time goes on, it became an escapist platform for the common man [therefore, storylines and the creation of good and bad guys]. If you watch old 70's-80's wrestling, you'll see lots of common people watching, and the "promos" [which are like NPC/character dialogues] are used to stir the audience, whether to inspire or piss them off, and to develop the story being told [either a revenge storyline, underdog from loser to winner, best bros breaking up eventually, or champion standing tall then being easily defeated by a monster]. And when you watch pro wrestling, all those strikes and moves aren't to kill each other (mostly), it's to tell the story being presented [like being graceful initially then striking desperately hard at the latter parts]. So, good story and execution = good pro wres, bad story and execution = bad pro wres.
I mean there’s been mma promotions in the past that were a work
I just love how ever since MMI guys fighters fans started taunting wrestling for being “ fake” they started gradually rolling in the business one by one and now we have so many big names in MMA who are wrestling now on a full schedule.
There's always been mma fighters that have gone to wrestling, ever heard of Ken Shamrock?
$$$
29:40 "This isn't USA Network! Let's go!!" I laughed so hard hearing someone say that.
Me too 😂😂
That was great hahaha
Varmando Varuso what’s wrong with NXT?🤷♀️
And now they did something similar on the USA network
It's nice seeing what is effectively a modern Catch Wrestling showcase.
Josh looks to be in the best shape of his life!
*Long live The Warmaster*
War is ageless
😂
I'm not saying every wrestling match has to be like this. It really doesn't. There's room for a lot of different styles, and hell when done well I actually really like "the flippy stuff".
I just wish that this was more common. That grappling, hold for hold, catch-style, was the "default" approach to pro wrestling. I wish matches like this were the norm, not an outlier.
yet look at gcw style
More wrestling. Less flippy dippy, unless it makes sense.
@@brentondudley3925 yet
you have to get 2 wrestlers who have legit wrestling background, kind of hard to do
or watch catch wrestling tournament.
The crowd is over the top. Wrestler's live for moments like these.
Commentary kinda ruined the match with their lack of knowing the holds. Imagined hearing Joe Rogan calling the match
Seriously man they suckss
Shamrock was suppose to be on commentary for Blood sport 3 but since it has been postponed it is unknown if he will still do it.
Seriously they didn’t call a single hold. Not even the basic stuff: key lock, armbar, backtake, head scissors, a fucking gable grip or body lock. Maybe a single leg or something? They’re enthusiastic but it feels like two fans playing commentator.
Imagine Kevin Kelly and Mauro Ranallo calling the match
Naaah.... Rogan would just f*ck up the whole experience by giving them jiu-jitsu names. Get Mauro Ranallo there with one of those WWE commentators, like Jim Ross, who actually know Pro wrestling terminology.
This just happened to be on my home recommendations and all I can say is... Thank you RUclips. I LOVE this!!!
The best time limit draw I have ever seen. Respect for these two legends and thank you GCW!!
いい勝負だな、観客もよく分かってる
鈴木も楽しそうに試合してるのがよく分かる
ジョシュも真剣に試合しているのが好印象ですね
suzuki looking 10 years younger, how is it possible?? what a great match!!! thanks GCW for sharing this for free with the world.
not sports entertainment, not mma. only a man of culture understand this.
凄いシンプルな戦いでサッカーの応援
みたいな感情を生み出す2人の戦いに
MMAには無い魅力と空間を作り出す
技術が詰まってる
それを一人一人の観客が理解しているから
これだけの素晴らしい試合を生み出せる
I'm not even a pro wrestling fan and I this was awesome. I'll be watching!
海外なのに｢風になれ｣の大合唱はアツすぎる｡
マジで『プロレス王』になったな…マジで胸熱｡
I just came for Kaze Ni Nare and got the pleasant surprise of seeing Suzuki can still grow a full head of hair after previously having that very heelish hairstyle [I have no idea what the name for it could possibly be] for about 2 decades now.
I always called it a shark fin.
I think this could be popularized if they dropped some of the “sports entertainment” aspects of it and also get some commentators that know what the moves/submissions are and some of the history on the guys in the ring for color.
Yeah - with a commentary from someone like Mark Pickering (who does NOAH) this would have been WAY better.
The Grappler It won't be popularized cause it's trying to look real but it's still scripted. People who want real will just watch MMA, not this.
26:42
Suzuki I am a Man （English）
Barnett Ore ha otokoda（Japanese）
Same meaning 😆
男臭い会場だなぁ〜 いいねw
Whats crazy is Suzuki is over 50 years old here and giving it hell so is Mr. Barnett! But ive never seen much work from either and thought this was a well done match! 🤝
That was magical. Amazing. Everything I never knew I needed.
Two guys who would absolutely fuck you up in seconds, Absolute respect to them both,
I love how every fan directly next to Suzuki in his entrance looks fn terrified to make eye contact
0:55 is the best Kaze Ni Nare I’ve ever heard it literally sent shivers down my spine.
Who's here after Shane Mcmahon debuted Raw Underground on Raw last night?
🙋🏾
Called it😂
Yup
Lol RIP RAW Underground
@@svenkiH Yup, didn't last so long did it? 😂😭
Two of the greatest Catch Wrestlers alive today.Too bad Catch as Catch can is not drawing more People these Days.
If only they'd change the commentator to someone who actually knew Catch wrestling, this would definitely get more interest. Great stuff.
i think its going to come back soon
@@d_ruggs Yes i think it is possible since more and more People are fed up with the way Pro Wrestling is presented these Days.I certainly hope it is.👍
@@ingotants3809 yea and with how much the ufc has educated people about what a real fight looks like, wwe just looks like a cartoon. also I think over the next 10 years A LOT of mma fighters will switch to pro wrestling because you can make way more money fake fighting then actually fighting, and it doesn't give you the same level of head trauma. its an interesting time to be a fan of pro wrestling
I’d rather watch catch wrestling and combat jiu jitsu then a regular jiu jitsu match
Two legendary Catch wrestlers and Pro wrestlers in the ring giving us an awesome show, yet the commentator doesn't know a single Pro wrestling hold terminology. Somebody fire that guy!
well barnett more of mma fighter
@@junkfoodguy so is suzuki . He is 30 -19 in mma.
This is by far one of the greatest wrestling matches I have ever seen
This is what pro wrestling should be
This is like watching NXT versions of Asuka and Shayna, as both of them were trained by these 2, respectively.
I love the Wrestling With Wregret plug on the canvas of the ring.
Dang nice lol!
Me personally i dont know much MMA but i enjoy this very much Minoru Suzuki in my top 10 along Thunder Liger
i could watch this match all day long its perfection
All of them came and gone but there's one one legend the Undertaker
Love this style of pro wrestling-I don’t know how it found its way I to my feed but I’m glad it did-this style actually makes me look forward to the holds, transitions and submission attempts from two masters in Suzuki and Barnett vs boring a$$ ‘rest holds’ in typical pro wrestling
that guy who patted Suzuki on the back during the entrance, must've shit his pants when he turned around lmao
ジョシュ！元気な姿を見られて何より嬉しいです！
How the fuck can a promotion have a match as good as this one and then on the other hand have Jelly Nutella and Invisible Man matches
Ikr
lol, Jelly Nutella. I love that
This is a fun spin on classic catch matches glad to see these two legends bringing it back
"We love Pancrase" chants, Awesome.
I think they said "King of Pancrase"
0:53 chills bro SUZUKIGUN ICHIBAN!!!!
I had no idea anyone was still doing shoot style pro wrestling these days! I only literally found out in the comments section of some old stuff! Subscribed. Now if only someone would bring back competitive, combat shoot wrestling... With pro wrestling trappings and showmanship, it could totally rival MMA and with a rule set that includes rope escapes and standing 8-counts, you'd have longer reigning champions compared to the wild west, striker's chance, lucky submission lottery that is often MMA lol.
Thanks for the idea - WWE UNDERGROUND.
EXACTLY!!! Gimmick infringement 101..
Hey kids remember that Bloodsport thing that was pretty awesome. Lets do that, But shitty!
Not like they invented this concept either but ok
これぞ、ストロングスタイル❕鈴木みのる‼️これぞ、プロレス‼️強さ、礼儀、新日本プロレスの、大ファンですが、猪木の影が見え隠れします。卍固め‼️素晴らしい。今も、昔も、ストロングスタイル最高‼️
日本人で1番大好きなボスと外人でケニーオメガと並び1番大好きなジョシュ。2人の対戦が実現していたとは。日本でまたやって欲しい
EPIC match!!! Can’t wait til Bloodsport 3 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
This was , no is a classic
I'm a boxing/mma fan, but I gotta admit, this was pretty cool. You can tell this is Barnett's true passion. If there were more money in this, he prob would've never fought in the UFC for this long.
There could be money in this but especially in bigger promotions like WWE, AEW, and NJPW
Chris Benoit ....
The audience is so wonderful.
I'm not even at all a fan of MMA. But fuck me was it a great idea for me to randomlly decide to catch this show all cause my friends were watching it. This match and Takeda vs. Gresham were so fucking sick.
I'm here because I'm a hardcore, mma and Combat Sports Fan I heard Rampage talk about this it really piqued my interest.
“GCW should run against WrestleMania next year, they outdraw them.” I was in literal tears when I heard that mark say that.
Love Boxing and wrestling. Love the fighters and the fights. Can't get enough of the action. It comes on 3x a week on my TV. Try and watch every minute of the sport. Wish they had more midget wrestling though.
ジョシュとみのるの20年以上の心持ちを思うと、味わい深い。
良い試合だ。
Ｕテイストだけど、二人で初めて楽しんでるw。
i'm a man you are?
俺は男だ!
サイコーw。
As of June 8, 2020, Minoru Suzuki was ranked at #10 in New Japan Wrestling.
I keep hearing ecw ecw ecw man I miss it
BOTH THESE GUYS EARNED THEIR MONEY FOR THIS FIGHT GOOD SHOW MEN!
Awesome match, but guys calling it need to watch some more grappling matches, not calling out moves like heel hook or key lock attempts, come on sell it
the whole gimmick is tap out or knock out, its not "wrestling", it's a wresiling event that has a mma gimmick
MattHavoc yeah thats my point, thats why i think they should sell the submission attempts better. A heelhook is like one of the most devastating moves in grappling
Thankfully this year they will have Max Bretos & Ken Shamrock on commentary.
Would love to get a chance to call a match like this👊
Damn what a match. Suzuki is king.
Can't wait for Josh vs Mox! And Suzuki vs Orange Cassidy!
this is how i want all the wrestling i watch to look. so believable
Wow this is way better than raw underground
Now this is a wrestling match, no irish whips, no high spots, no flippy flips, and no stupid gimmicks, just two men duking it out like warriors.
Waah waah waah
This is shoot wrestling 🤼♂️
Catch wrestling, basically.
this is catch wrestling, not pro wrestling
@ANDON HOWARD shoot fights are wired differently.match itself is the story,
So this is basically realistic-fake wrestling/shoot fighting?
Yes its been popular in japan for a long time
This is how Pro wrestling used to look like in its golden days. Except the commentators actually knew what was happening.
Kalle Pikku yep now it’s all flips and super kicks not anything is wrong with that particular style. It’s just not for me, I miss the mat based technical style. Those Benoit vs Kurt Angle matches got me into wrestling
Kinda
That's kind of true. It's how Lou Thesz would have liked you to see wrestling back then, but it looked a lot less serious in the 1910s if you looked at what NYT writers said. Gus Sonnenberg was a huge star by 1930 and leading attraction, and all he did was a shoulder tackle. Goldberg did more in his first year of wrestling
Hearing the crowd shout Kaze Ni Nare gave me goosebumps
These guys, truly are legends. No doubt !
Unfortunate this was commentated by these dorks, because this was truly great.
鈴木みのるはほんとカッコいい！
カッコつけないでカッコいいのはほんと男が惚れる。
Barnett is the man
Let’s go Minoru Suzuki! NJPW Strong 🔥🔥🔥
6:05 probably not but you got sub from me. Great match with two genuine combat sports legends
That was a good show Josh Barnett.
This is everything Drew Gulak has been asking for.
GCW have so much potential, here's hoping they expand further
ONE OF MY DREAM MATCHES NOW IS WCW FINLAY VS THIS SUZUKI
This match was something else man
Serious question - why, when the topic of legitimate tough guys in wrestling comes up, is Suzuki rarely mentioned amongst the top 10 or so?
Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Georges St. Pierre, Conor McGregor, Dave Bautista, Fedor Emelianenko, Ken Shamrock...I want to see so many people do this event. Hell Chael Sonnen and Forrest Griffin too.
Please get Zack Sabre Jr. on one of these
No
This was fun.
ただ殴る、ただ受ける、それだけでこの盛り上がり！
すげえよ！
Woooooooo!!! Nicely done, reminds me of classic southern wraslin from the eighties.
This is a shootfight fan's wet dream
This is what I want from AEW....I feel they can pull it off if they drop some of the sports entertainment stuff that I feel like Jericho is behind.....
It’s only a matter of time. Somebody’s gonna win or lose. Cmon commentator dude
Josh DARNIT and Minoru Suzuki Had a good fight.
Somebody say hey, we want some pancrase!
1930s…. Is that you?! With a legitimate love for wrestling history.. after wwe going pg. this is a breath of fresh air. Please don’t sell to wwe.
I really like this style of match
Me too is kinda like more realistic but with some over the top moments
Flex Johnson Watch some catch wrestling then.
This is Bloodsport!
