00:00BGM
00:30Well, it is Shoto Umino and Yuya Uemura on October 13th in Ryugoku Sumo Hall
00:57that will be hitting Uncharted Waters, Chris.
01:00Challenging for the first time together as IWGP Tag Team Champions
01:03against, well, a very new team in their own right back here in New Japan Pro Wrestling,
01:07the Knockout Brothers.
01:09Those titles have not been defended in nearly one calendar year.
01:14Oscar and Yuto Ice want to be the ones to bring stability
01:18to the Heavyweight Tag Team Division in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
01:21Shoto Umino and Yuya Uemura, on the other hand,
01:23somewhat accomplished singles athletes, very high profile.
01:27What do they have to show for it?
01:28Maybe gain something together in Ryugoku.
01:30Umino Shota!
01:34Shoto Umino and Yuya Uemura in such a short span of time
01:39seem to have really come together very, very well as a duo.
01:43But that is all next Monday night.
01:46Tonight is about what they can do as singles wrestlers,
01:50and it is a very, very different set of circumstances.
01:54And what we have here, Shoto Umino versus Oskar
02:06only for the second time ever.
02:08I think it was at a non-televised live event at that
02:12where Shoto Umino beat a then-young lion, Oskar Loi.
02:16But now we have, well, a giant imposing,
02:24extremely powerful, extremely dominant.
02:29But Shoto Umino might have the experience edge,
02:32you would have to say, over the big journey.
02:34Well, you're absolutely right about that.
02:35But it is not so often in professional wrestling
02:38where you can return from excursion
02:40and already paint yourself one of the most
02:42dominant threats on the roster.
02:44Tag Team Singles Division or anything in between.
02:47Oskar has managed to do that.
02:49Six foot seven inches, 245 pounds,
02:52a beast inside that ring.
02:54Now we get our very first opportunity
02:55to see what this man can do
02:57one-on-one against Umino tonight.
02:59That's a great point you just made
03:01because Oskar came straight in,
03:03hot all the way through,
03:05won the championships,
03:07did the Knockout Brothers' first time out.
03:09Shoto Umino knows what it's like
03:10to come back from excursion straight into a title match
03:13and fails and fails.
03:14Knockout Brothers, 2m, 2cm, 125kg.
03:18Oskar!
03:20If there is room for Oskar to be in Umino's head tonight,
03:25that might be the window that he tries to climb into.
03:29He's a big old man to try and squeeze through any windows with.
03:32Yeah, I know that myself.
03:33You know, a great career in cat burglary, you do.
03:39First time post-excursion
03:41for Shoto Umino and Oskar tonight.
03:44First time since two years ago,
03:47the Road to Sakura Genesis
03:48kicking off back at Hidatsuka, in fact.
03:51The last time we were there
03:52before this year's Road to King of Pearl Wrestling.
03:54You know, it's really interesting to highlight
04:03this point, Chris, that
04:04the preview matches between
04:07Shoto Umino and Yuya Uemura
04:08against the Knockout Brothers,
04:10what are they all happening in?
04:11What type of match are they?
04:12They are where Shoto and Uemura
04:14are the most comfortable in the singles division.
04:17We're previewing these tag team affairs
04:20in Ryugoku with singles competition.
04:22That's going to favor Umino and Uemura
04:24more so than it might Oscar and Yuto Ice.
04:26But is that going to prepare you
04:27for the big test in Ryugoku?
04:29I think in Ryugoku,
04:30the big test is going to be mentor.
04:32And we are going to get to
04:33Ice and Uemura, of course, coming up next.
04:37You know, I think the key men in this matchup,
04:40the men involved in the finish,
04:41in my opinion, one way or the other,
04:43will be Oscar and Shoto Umino.
04:45Because I think Uemura and Ice
04:46are going to be so obsessed
04:47with beating the holy hell out of one another
04:49that they, you know, won't necessarily notice
04:52what's happening in the ring
04:53if they're not legal.
04:56And to that end,
04:57I think Oscar has to be strategic.
05:00And I'm not sure.
05:02I haven't seen yet.
05:03I just don't know one way or the other
05:04whether Oscar can be the strategic mind
05:07that Shoto Umino perhaps is.
05:08Shoto Umino for that fact as well.
05:14This is where we talk about
05:15the experience differential between these two.
05:17We also take a look at the singles record
05:19for Oscar, Chris.
05:21A brief period on excursion,
05:23Oscar competed in singles competition
05:25due to Yuto Nakashima at the time
05:28being out with injuries.
05:29So, you know, Oscar having a little bit more
05:30in the singles division
05:31over the past 365 days potential.
05:35Well, I mean, Shoto Umino,
05:37a very hard worker though in singles matches,
05:3913 and 8 over the last 365 days.
05:42Oscar, I mean, yes,
05:44did have a run in singles matches
05:45over in Europe,
05:47had some success,
05:48but admitted that his skill set
05:52more behoven to tag team competition.
05:56And, I mean, you have to say
05:57a different, with all due respect,
05:59a different level of competition
06:00than to a man who has main evented
06:02in the token.
06:05That's going to be the big test right here.
06:06Shoto Umino has seen the bright lights,
06:08but Oscar, first time on a major stage
06:11in quite some time in singles competition.
06:13There's no one to tag out to.
06:15You know, your psychology as an athlete
06:17has to change when you walk into a match
06:19where you don't have a partner
06:21at your back to tag.
06:22Yeah, I mean, we've seen it
06:24with tag team specialists before.
06:25So often, they take an impact
06:27and they roll, look to a corner
06:30and find nobody there.
06:31And it can be disorienting for a time.
06:33Shoto Umino knows better
06:34to look after himself in that.
06:43Umino got the speed.
06:45Wobbled in.
06:46Now, Watch now trying to take
06:47the big man off his feet
06:48and you start to realize
06:50does not matter how great a shape
06:52that Shoto Umino may be in,
06:53size is size,
06:54and Oscar knows how to throw it around.
06:57Wow.
06:58Wow.
07:04Zack Sabre Jr. wasn't throwing Umino
07:06around like that in the Tokyo Dome.
07:07Evil wasn't throwing Umino around like that.
07:09Well, I mean, to that point, though,
07:11Shoto Umino knows what it's like to wrestle
07:13under the brightest of lights
07:14and, as we said, fail.
07:16Shoto Umino knows he has spoken publicly
07:19about taking setback
07:20and taking that as a positive
07:22and launching him
07:23into a much better space
07:25professionally, personally, mentally.
07:27Oscar Loibe.
07:28Oscar hasn't experienced setback
07:30like Shoto Umino has done.
07:32Yeah, it's really interesting
07:33to get into that conversation, Chris.
07:34Oh, Oscar,
07:36big chop to the chest of Umino.
07:38You look at the way
07:39that the No Gay Dojo system is structured,
07:41it's almost like failure
07:41is ingrained into that system,
07:43and that is how you start
07:45as a young lion,
07:45the way that Loibe did
07:47during his time here in the dojo,
07:49the way that one Nakashima
07:50back in the day did as well.
07:55Sammy will talk about setback
07:57with Yuta.
07:58Yuta, nice experience setback.
08:00It's very hard,
08:03even as a young lion,
08:04it was hard to set Oscar back.
08:06Always a very confident young man,
08:10because, I mean,
08:10when you're pushing seven feet tall,
08:12Walker, I mean,
08:12you try and set someone
08:13that size back.
08:14Yeah, you're right.
08:19I was having a conversation
08:20with Oscar just the other day
08:21about how difficult it is
08:23for a man his size
08:24in the No Gay Dojo
08:25to learn how to work
08:26from the ground up.
08:27If Shoto Umino can get
08:28on top of Oscar here,
08:29it's gonna be hard for Oscar
08:31to be able to elevate
08:32his size back
08:33to what it was
08:34before Umino got on top.
08:35Yeah.
08:36And it took time for Oscar
08:37to definitely grow into
08:39that two meter plus frame.
08:41That certainly he has done
08:42very, very successfully
08:44at this point,
08:46barely breaking a sweat.
08:48When you come up
08:48under a man like Don Fale,
08:49we talk about someone
08:50who knows how to throw
08:51their weight around
08:51in professional wrestling.
08:53Oscar, not only out
08:54of the No Gay Dojo,
08:55but also the New Zealand Dojo.
08:57You know, one of the questions
09:05that we had, you and I,
09:05going into this one,
09:06is what would the pacing
09:07look like if Oscar managed
09:09to find any sort of control?
09:10And we're starting to see
09:12exactly what those shapes
09:14look like.
09:15Clubbering blow,
09:16clubbering blow,
09:16and a slam.
09:17That's really all Oscar has
09:18to do.
09:19You keep enough of this.
09:20Okay, yeah, I like this as well.
09:22Deep squat into that camel crutch,
09:26making Shotsu Umino humble right here.
09:29And really remember as well,
09:32history of lower back issues
09:34on Shotsu Umino,
09:35that Oscar knows very, very well.
09:38This is a deep, deep squat for Oscar.
09:41You look at the angle
09:41that those knees are pointed in right now.
09:45Trying to keep majority
09:46of his body weight on top.
09:47Will not allow Umino
09:48to get to that bottom rope, though.
09:49There's a lot of athletes
09:54who would have forced the struggle
09:55to the very end
09:55on that submission.
09:56Oscar Smart cutting it off
09:58right before Shotsu
09:59could get any sort of hope
10:00back into the mind.
10:01And not only did that
10:02cut off Shotsu Umino walker,
10:04but that cut off the crowd as well.
10:07Will make it hard to strike back.
10:11Shotsu again wanting
10:12that scoop slam.
10:13But Oscar is so good
10:14at grounding himself here.
10:15Umino has to get his hips
10:16underneath him.
10:17Try and find a way.
10:18Barely, Barely, Barely.
10:20Close up.
10:21But not close enough.
10:23I mean, we saw when Taichi
10:24was able to suplex Oscar.
10:27He did it on the run.
10:29He needs a little bit of momentum
10:30to show to him
10:31to be able to take Oscar
10:32off of his feet.
10:33Might get it here.
10:34Here we go.
10:36Back elbow from Oscar.
10:38And just a little bit of hope
10:39and bang, Oscar cuts him off.
10:41Great work.
10:42Oh, wait a second.
10:44Yeah, that's not going to help
10:46the muscles in the rear.
10:47Here we go.
10:47That's your momentum.
10:48There it is.
10:49That's it.
10:49Up and down.
10:54Oscar getting a little
10:55too froggy there, Chris.
10:56And all of a sudden,
10:57that leg drop missed out
10:59could be the undoing
11:00for Oscar in singles action.
11:01It came crashing down
11:03for Oscar.
11:03And now he's hurting
11:04inside, outside,
11:05and everywhere else.
11:06Shota's got to go
11:15with the speed
11:16that he can muster now.
11:25Shota Umino,
11:26Yuya Umura,
11:27long tie itself,
11:28making careers
11:29off of adversity.
11:30And there is nothing
11:32more adversarial
11:33than the bullet club
11:33right here.
11:34There you go.
11:34Getting on the move,
11:35getting quick.
11:36Yeah.
11:37Yeah, that's good movement
11:38from Umino.
11:42Now he's got more
11:43on those chops.
11:46Definitely something
11:46we've seen developed
11:47by Umino in 2025.
11:48The strike game,
11:50oh, not even comparable
11:51to 2024, Shota Umino.
11:53They're cracking
11:54lariat on the get as well.
11:56I wonder whether
11:57he can swing high enough
11:59to decapitate Oscar
12:00if it comes down to it.
12:02Right, it might have
12:02to be a body ball
12:03for Umino.
12:04We'll see.
12:09Special 30-minute
12:10time limit here tonight.
12:11There is no rush.
12:12These two men can take it.
12:13Whoa!
12:15Nice, and all the way
12:16up and down,
12:17a long distance,
12:18a bleak angle,
12:18cover, and only one.
12:23Now one thing
12:26that Shota Umino
12:27has not lost
12:28is the tendency
12:29to allow the people
12:30to watch his gears turn.
12:31You can see the gears
12:32turning right now.
12:33Okay, I have Oscar down.
12:34What do I do from here?
12:38A little slower
12:39on the draw
12:40than Umino
12:40might want to hook for
12:42on the replay back.
12:43Oscar.
12:44Yeah, there's that back elbow
12:46to the ear of Umino.
12:47A near seven-foot drop
12:56on these wooden boards
12:59that consist of
13:00a pro-wrestling rink.
13:12And he's felt
13:13this is the second time
13:14now, just as Umino
13:15was getting momentum
13:16behind him.
13:17Bang, Oscar cut him off.
13:20And Oscar certainly
13:21setting up for something.
13:22He could go for anything
13:23here.
13:23You know he's
13:23tended to favor
13:25a powerbomb,
13:26favored a two-stone
13:27in recent.
13:29And that's
13:30as well.
13:31Oh, knee right
13:32to the back of the neck
13:33for Oscar tonight.
13:35Shota Umino
13:36backed up in the corner.
13:38Shota's got to follow up.
13:39Oscar down to one knee
13:40around the same size
13:41as Umino.
13:42Now bang!
13:42Wow!
13:43Changed the angle.
13:44Oscar could not tense the muscles
13:46in the back.
13:47Quick enough to avoid.
13:48Now watch this.
13:49Umino wants to take Oscar
13:50over his head here, Chris.
13:52That's a big ask for anyone.
13:53Well, Oscar would just call it
13:55a suplex.
13:56We'd call it a hell of a German.
13:57Nice!
13:59Big take down there from Oscar.
14:01Now from the leg.
14:02Devastating leg drop
14:04and a cover.
14:06Two!
14:06Man, I thought that would have been it.
14:10No, he don't know.
14:11I don't even know
14:13if Oscar knows, Walker,
14:14how he would go
14:15to finish his opponent
14:16in a single setting.
14:18Well, we managed to see it
14:19in tag team action.
14:20Sleeper holds work
14:21to Oscar's favor in the past.
14:22That's true, that's true.
14:23The tombstone approach,
14:24the powerbomb approach.
14:26As a big man,
14:27you're able to do a lot
14:27inside that ring.
14:29It looks simple,
14:30but man,
14:30it'll put your opponent
14:31down easy.
14:32I am super,
14:43super impressed
14:45with Oscar here tonight.
14:47A little bit of trash talk
14:51language that neither of us
14:52are speaking here tonight.
14:53I have to get past on the floor,
14:55I see what he says.
14:56Yeah.
14:56Shota Umino not defending himself here, Chris.
15:09This is the first time
15:11we've seen Umino in this position.
15:12Yeah, I think Umino
15:13is trying to tap into something.
15:15He's trying to tap into something.
15:17Yeah, you can certainly see
15:28that Oscar is a man
15:29not used to setback in 2025
15:30because he is walking tall.
15:32He is confident.
15:33Shota is used to standing up
15:35underneath that setback,
15:37standing up underneath
15:38all of that weight,
15:39the weight of the world.
15:41Now under his armpit.
15:43Look at the reach of Oscar.
15:44Yeah, that's good reach
15:45advantage from Oscar.
15:47Oh, reach don't measure it down.
15:50Shota Umino closing the distance for good.
15:52Umino back up.
15:54Umino on fire.
15:55Yes.
16:08Man, three from Umino,
16:16one from Oscar.
16:17And again, Umino cut off.
16:22And now,
16:26yeah, Oscar is sitting right on the attack here on Shota.
16:31That adrenaline can only last you so long, Chris.
16:35And Shota, he's fallen victim to it before.
16:38Oscar lifting up.
16:41One more slam, might have done it.
16:46DDT saving Umino, Oscar back up Walker.
16:50To his feet.
16:51Umino, German suplex.
16:55Have you seen strength like that?
16:59I can't call.
17:00Strike knee, strike knee from Umino.
17:04One, two.
17:06Daddy, no.
17:07Two.
17:08Walker, Walker, there's no way Umino can get him up for second chapter.
17:13No, it's going to be difficult.
17:14If the strike knee didn't do it.
17:15It'd be a really, really difficult endeavor.
17:18But Umino is always going to step to the challenge.
17:22The challenge of the tag division.
17:24The challenge to the 6'7 German monster.
17:27Oscar and Dream Street up to that knee.
17:34Umino knows what he wants.
17:36Now let's see if he can get that arm high enough.
17:38Oscar on his feet.
17:39No, no, no, no.
17:40No, no, no, no.
17:41That sleeper hold so dangerous.
17:43Umino out of it though.
17:44He got it up, but Oscar didn't go down.
17:48No.
17:48Yes.
17:53Indeed.
17:55Reaching new heights, Umino tonight.
17:57No, no, Oscar, Oscar in the throat.
18:0012 step inbound, no.
18:02Oscar.
18:05He's got it.
18:07Back to it, the sleeper hold.
18:09That sleeper hold put on Dream Street.
18:16Umino fading.
18:18That is a tough man's power submission right there.
18:27You could use it in the streets, you could use it in the ring.
18:31The Knockout Brothers are for the streets indeed.
18:33That's it, he's out, he's out.
18:38Umino, Umino, a little bit of life still left in him.
18:40When you have a hold that even puts Tomohiro Ishii flat out, unconscious.
18:46Watch it.
18:48Oh, cobra slam, cover, cover for Oscar.
18:52No.
18:53Second time in this matchup, I was convinced that might have been it, and I think Oscar
19:00thought it was it.
19:01Now, Umino might be getting in Oscar's head a little bit.
19:06I think you see signs of frustration in that young German.
19:10It can drive you to greatness, or it can drive you to a mistake.
19:13Which direction will Oscar go tonight?
19:15Double goose up and ripped around the throat.
19:19Here we go.
19:20Oh, no.
19:21Victory.
19:22Oh, no.
19:23Victory.
19:24Oh, no.
19:25Victory.
19:26Oh, no.
19:27Oh, no.
19:28Oh, no.
19:29Oh, no.
19:30Oh, no.
19:31Oh, no.
19:32Back into the sleeper, the sleeper hold from Oscar, would love his first singles victory
19:38back here in New Japan pro wrestling over a man that put him down in his days as a young
19:42lion.
19:43Perfect application, that sleeper walker, forearm under the chin, even you see Oscar
19:52bite his own hand for leverage, somehow, trying to out muscle, back of the head into the jaw
20:00of Oscar.
20:01How much will to survive to show the room and I'll have, how many, how much guts does
20:07that kid have?
20:08Off the ropes here, oh, missed the boot.
20:12Oh, what a, that's a home run slugger right there.
20:19Show to Umino, oh, you can't, you got to be kidding me.
20:25It can't be.
20:25You got to be kidding me.
20:26You got to, could it, oh.
20:28It's a second chapter.
20:32One, two, six.
20:34It's over.
20:36It's over.
20:46That right there, Chris, just answered one of the many questions we were going to have
20:50going into Ryogoku's sumo hall.
20:53How much and what can Shota Umino pull off on a man the size of Oscar?
20:57Umino showing that he can overcome Herculean effort here tonight.
21:03The victory here tonight goes the way for the challenger, but it's singles competition tonight for both
21:09sets of partners.
21:10It's tag team competition, a whole different ball game, and Ryogoku October 13th.
21:15Well, Oscar certainly for the first time since his return from Excursion, maybe for the first
21:20time in his career, just got a healthy heaping, helping of setback courtesy of Shota Umino.
21:28Oscar was, is, will be next Monday.
21:32Awesome, but my God, the will and the drive for Shota Umino, the drive to survive, was certainly in full effect, and ended with that second chapter.
21:54Oh, and Oscar, no sign of respect there.
21:57Yeah, what did we talk earlier about working from the ground up, how about spinning from the ground up?
22:02Oscar, even in loss, still defiant, that full and club spirit right there.
22:06That's Knockout Brothers spirit, that's KOB full and full.
22:11Well, who will it be as IWGP Tag Team Champion heading into World Tag League, heading into the Tokyo Dome?
22:20I would say if that match we just saw was a Korken Hall main event in the G1, I wouldn't be too surprised.
22:26Wait a second.
22:27Oh, an absolutely promising, you know, put his life on the line, and he'll go, next week will show to Umino.
22:42Now, I wouldn't have been surprised, maybe, if next summer, that's a main event on the G1 Climax 36 Tour.
22:49But it's not even our main event tonight, not even our semi-main event walker,
22:53because our next old brother, Yu Yuura Umura and Yuta Ice.
22:56Yeah, we talked about life, and now we talk about livelihood, one that was almost taken away from a young lion,
23:02Yuta Ice by Yu Yuura Umura.
23:0454 seconds, we'll talk all about it, heading into our semi-main event in singles competition to come.
23:10All buckets.
23:115 seconds, we've recovered the updates, and three packs of gold.
23:12One more significant competition to come.
