00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:03.346
[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:03.346 --> 00:00:05.260


00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:06.110
-Welcome back.

00:00:06.110 --> 00:00:08.684
And if you've just joined
us, where have you been?

00:00:08.684 --> 00:00:10.600
-I'm Jeyasivapathasundaram.

00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:11.820
-And I'm Bob.

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:14.750
-And we're your hosts for
the hottest sporting action

00:00:14.750 --> 00:00:17.010
ancient India has to offer.

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:18.790
-The only sports
pundits who really

00:00:18.790 --> 00:00:22.460
are pundits-- little
Sanskrit joke for you there.

00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:23.880
-So what's up next Bob?

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:25.580
-Like you don't know, Jey.

00:00:25.580 --> 00:00:29.500
It's the all India,
all-comers, all-in wrestling.

00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:30.450
-That's right.

00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:32.299
And this is a scene
in the stadium

00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:36.110
right now as we wait for the
competitors to enter the ring.

00:00:36.110 --> 00:00:39.930
-It's another beautiful
day, not too hot.

00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:43.200
There's King Kans
himself in the royal box.

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.330
Tickets sold out for
this event months ago,

00:00:45.330 --> 00:00:48.580
and the feeling of
anticipation is at fever pitch.

00:00:48.580 --> 00:00:52.550
-You're not wrong, Bob, and
it's all because all of one man.

00:00:52.550 --> 00:00:53.760
-Krishna.

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.530
Discovered in a small town
across the Jamuna River

00:00:56.530 --> 00:00:59.010
and quite the local
celebrity over there.

00:00:59.010 --> 00:01:01.900
-But his discovery
wasn't by chance, Bob.

00:01:01.900 --> 00:01:02.700
-No.

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:05.500
-King Kans sent out his
talent scouts especially

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:07.310
to find Krishna.

00:01:07.310 --> 00:01:10.755
There are even rumours that this
young man is the long-lost son

00:01:10.755 --> 00:01:13.850
of Kans' own sister, Devaki.

00:01:13.850 --> 00:01:17.220
-The sister who disappeared
in mysterious circumstances?

00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:20.210
Which Kans denies had anything
to do with him, of course.

00:01:20.210 --> 00:01:21.090
-That's the one.

00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:23.750
And if Krishna
really is her son,

00:01:23.750 --> 00:01:26.990
then there could be some
unfinished business here today.

00:01:26.990 --> 00:01:28.880
-Wasn't there some kind
of prophecy about him

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:30.430
and Kans back in the day?

00:01:30.430 --> 00:01:31.650
-Couldn't say, Bob.

00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:34.210
Krishna's wrestling
partner is his brother

00:01:34.210 --> 00:01:36.660
from another mother, Balarama.

00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:40.590
And he doesn't look
too shabby either.

00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:42.420
-Defeated a Donkey demon, hey?

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:43.600
They're the worst.

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:44.514
[CHEERING]

00:01:44.514 --> 00:01:47.310
-I think-- yes, yes, this is it.

00:01:47.310 --> 00:01:49.490
Krishna has entered the
ring, and the people

00:01:49.490 --> 00:01:50.700
are on their feet.

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:53.200
-Jey, can we mention the
elephant in the room?

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.570
-You mean his blue skin, Bob?

00:01:54.570 --> 00:01:56.560
Well, some people
say it's because he's

00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.435
the god Vishnu in human form.

00:01:58.435 --> 00:02:02.310
-No, no, I mean the elephant,
the actual mad elephant

00:02:02.310 --> 00:02:04.230
charging towards Krishna.

00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:07.150
-Well would you believe it,
it's one of the King's own war

00:02:07.150 --> 00:02:08.820
elephants.

00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:11.560
And here he is, Kuvalayapeeda.

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.960
Killed a man just last week and
should be safely chained up.

00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.290
How in the name of Ganesh
did he get into the ring?

00:02:19.290 --> 00:02:22.050
-But it doesn't seem to be
a problem for Krishna, Bob.

00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:26.348
He's facing up to the beast
for the first bout of the day.

00:02:26.348 --> 00:02:27.240
[BELL SOUNDS]

00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.180
-The elephant charges,
but Krishna grabs him

00:02:30.180 --> 00:02:33.470
by the trunk, and-- power slam.

00:02:33.470 --> 00:02:34.440
-Ouch.

00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:38.440
Looks like Kuvalayapeeda
is out for the count.

00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:40.380
-So Jey, what do
you make of that?

00:02:40.380 --> 00:02:42.300
-An elephant in
the stadium, Bob,

00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:44.410
don't tell me that
was an accident.

00:02:44.410 --> 00:02:47.890
It looks like someone has
it in for Krishna today.

00:02:47.890 --> 00:02:49.410
-Nice moves though.

00:02:49.410 --> 00:02:52.080
And our young hero hasn't
even broken a sweat.

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.210
-Well let's hope he's
warmed up, because Balarama

00:02:55.210 --> 00:03:00.271
has joined them in the ring,
and here comes the opposition.

00:03:00.271 --> 00:03:04.510
-So Jey, first up is Chanur,
the King's undefeated champion

00:03:04.510 --> 00:03:07.360
and owner of a face that
only a mother could love.

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.770
-And fighting alongside
him, Bob, will be Mustika.

00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:13.250
-Not exactly gifted in
the looks department

00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:18.450
either, but a mountain
of muscle nonetheless.

00:03:18.450 --> 00:03:22.600
-Chanur just said something
about Krishna's mum, nothing

00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:23.730
complimentary.

00:03:23.730 --> 00:03:27.630
-I'm looking at this, Bob, and
does this seem fair to you?

00:03:27.630 --> 00:03:28.890
-What's on your mind, Jey?

00:03:28.890 --> 00:03:31.470
-I mean, who paired these teams?

00:03:31.470 --> 00:03:35.830
Krishna and Balarama are
going to die out there.

00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:37.300
Well we'll soon see.

00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:38.930
The trash talk is over.

00:03:38.930 --> 00:03:42.100
-Krishna is facing up
to Chanur, and Balarama

00:03:42.100 --> 00:03:44.327
is taking on Mustika.

00:03:44.327 --> 00:03:45.730
[BELL SOUNDS]

00:03:45.730 --> 00:03:47.330
-Krishna is lightning
fast, and has

00:03:47.330 --> 00:03:51.116
the advantage over the
stronger but slower Chanur.

00:03:51.116 --> 00:03:54.020
-Chanur takes a
swipe, and he misses.

00:03:54.020 --> 00:03:56.970
And wham-- Chanur's down.

00:03:56.970 --> 00:03:58.960
Krishna has him
in a sleeper hold,

00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.620
and-- night, night, it's
all over for Chanur.

00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:06.990
-Balarama has taken some real
punishment from Mustika here,

00:04:06.990 --> 00:04:11.120
but the youngster
is fighting back.

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:11.880
Whoa!

00:04:11.880 --> 00:04:14.190
Mustika did not see that coming.

00:04:14.190 --> 00:04:17.910
Balarama has him in a bear
hug, and he's squeezing him

00:04:17.910 --> 00:04:19.750
like a ripe melon.

00:04:19.750 --> 00:04:20.730
And-- pop!

00:04:20.730 --> 00:04:22.720
Ugh, that has got to hurt.

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.125


00:04:26.125 --> 00:04:28.145
-Who would have believed it?

00:04:28.145 --> 00:04:30.920
Krishna and Balarama
are the victors.

00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.840
-King Kans does not look happy.

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:36.580
He's calling out the
guards to kill Krishna.

00:04:36.580 --> 00:04:38.120
-Take a look at this, Jey.

00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.630
Seems you were right.

00:04:39.630 --> 00:04:41.820
Kans murdered all of his
sister's children apart

00:04:41.820 --> 00:04:45.230
from Krishna, and now
the evil son of a demon

00:04:45.230 --> 00:04:47.605
wants to finish the job.

00:04:47.605 --> 00:04:50.710
-But Krishna has taken
the fight to Kans.

00:04:50.710 --> 00:04:52.390
He's in the royal box.

00:04:52.390 --> 00:04:55.660
And he's making short
work of the King.

00:04:55.660 --> 00:04:58.670
-Looks like his reign is over.

00:04:58.670 --> 00:05:02.450
-I think we can safely say
that Krishna has decisively

00:05:02.450 --> 00:05:05.760
won this year's
all-India, all-comers,

00:05:05.760 --> 00:05:07.190
all-in wrestling event.

00:05:07.190 --> 00:05:08.550
-Not only that, Jey.

00:05:08.550 --> 00:05:11.450
These pictures are coming
live from the palace.

00:05:11.450 --> 00:05:13.830
The rightful King
Ugrasena has just

00:05:13.830 --> 00:05:16.780
been released from the dungeons
where Kans had him locked up

00:05:16.780 --> 00:05:18.080
all these years.

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:19.740
And who's that with him?

00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:23.280
-That'd be Vasudev and
Devaki, Krishna's parents.

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:24.620
-I remember now.

00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:26.790
There was a prophecy
that Devaki's son

00:05:26.790 --> 00:05:28.790
would overthrow Kans.

00:05:28.790 --> 00:05:30.920
-Well, Bob, it's
no wonder Kans was

00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.520
so keen to see Krishna dead.

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:35.920
Seems you can't
escape your destiny,

00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.090
no matter how hard you try.

00:05:38.090 --> 00:05:39.750
-Thanks, Jey.

00:05:39.750 --> 00:05:42.180
Well, what a show it's been.

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:45.004
Let's do it all again next week.

00:05:45.004 --> 00:05:47.310
-Good night.

00:05:47.310 --> 00:05:54.304
