00:00Akyo, I heard you like House of Torchy.
00:07Yeah, be fun, man. I have all their merchandise in my dome.
00:11You know, those purple lights everybody has in the crowd.
00:15Two teams fielded by the house, one in each block just to cover all the bases.
00:24And on the one side, well, we have Sho and Doki, and on the other, well, we have the masterpieces of inside work of dirty tactics.
00:38The whiskey and cigars. Well, I mean, this team, I think we could call Kanemaru and Togo the team of Whiskey Day.
00:44And we'll see just how, not just how limp, but just how solid their performance will be over the course of the next couple of weeks.
00:54Kanemaru and Togo the team will be over the course of the year.
00:57Kanemaru Yashuna!
01:18Well, we have here another return from Best of the Super Junior, right?
01:22Kanemaru Yashuna, right?
01:23Kanemaru Yashuna, right?
01:24Kanemaru Yashuna, right?
01:25And a guy you know quite well in Robby X.
01:26I know him right, you're damn right.
01:29And the Superman, himself, Nishimori Taiyi.
01:32I wish you more excited.
02:02In short notice, Joitai to Ishimori for a challenge to the Junior End Boy Tag Team Championships here in Corcoran Hall.
02:08It was a sensational performance.
02:11It was a performance that got Robbie X's put in the door best of Super Juniors this year.
02:18And X went on very nearly to win the whole tournament.
02:24And it's certainly not looking good here at the hands of Dick Togo and Katamon.
02:29Robbie got a win over also Iromu.
02:32It's a very important win, but of course we're going to see many houses of torture tactics here.
02:38Doesn't matter Iromu or not.
02:41You can say whatever you want about Togo and Katamon, but together they have probably like 60 years of experience.
02:50But yeah, I mean, I think that is exactly maybe a little bit more than 60 years.
02:55And not only that, the advantage for this one has to be with Kanemaru and Ishimori.
03:03The legendary Kanemaru allergy that Taiji Ishimori has had over the years.
03:09Absolutely cursed against the man, might be finally able to put it to bed tonight.
03:14Keep your eyes on Ishimori. Dick Togo had the eyes in place.
03:17One man and Kanemaru trying to cut off X here.
03:26Oh!
03:28Robbie X, you're right, beat Hiromu and Best of the Super Juniors this year.
03:33Robbie X will also beat Yoshinobu Kanemaru in Best of the Super Juniors this year.
03:37As Dick Togo rolls Taiji Ishimori inside.
03:44Ishimori and X on their first try went 3-2 in last year's tournament.
03:50They were right in that final mix.
03:52And I think that's what we're going to see when we get towards the end of this tournament.
03:56I think you're going to see probably a lot of teams at 3-2.
03:59Yeah, we were close, me and TJ last year too.
04:04We made it to the final, didn't win it though.
04:08So what that means is every time you can get a strong tiebreaker,
04:13then you take every single opportunity.
04:16It's only five matches, you only have five matches to make your mark.
04:20And that means every single win, every single point is crucial.
04:23As you're seeing Dick Togo here maneuver the headlock on Taiji Ishimori.
04:30When we talk about House of Torture tactics, that's one thing.
04:35And a lot of people forget just how great Dick Togo is as a professional wrestler.
04:40I was wondering if we win like this tournament gets win by Togo and Kanemaru,
04:46could we see Togo back in the Best of the Super Juniors?
04:50What? Single tournament as well.
04:51Yeah, maybe.
04:52You know, if they win Super Junior Tag League,
04:55well that would be Whiskey Dick against Sho and Doki.
05:00How does that work out?
05:01I think some people would be interested in seeing that.
05:04That's a funny name.
05:06I mean, it would be coming up by the way, November 19th,
05:09House of Torture are going to be taking over this entire building.
05:12Purge Knight of Torture, special pay-per-view presentation here on NJBW World.
05:17House of Torture have taken over the entirety of Korakuin Hall.
05:21That is, like, you said this October, right?
05:25November 19th, yeah.
05:26It's November 19th, yeah.
05:27Evil and Shin Skywalker in the main event.
05:31And I think everybody is, well, dreading the summons from the house to be in Korakuin Hall.
05:40I think we'd all much rather have a United Empire producer.
05:43Yeah, you can have that.
05:45I think for the House of Torture show, they didn't even need referee.
05:49Why they need referee?
05:50We always beat them up, you know?
05:53Who's the referee that's going to sign up for that?
05:55Oh, yeah.
05:56Isshimori trying to...
05:57Oh, man!
05:58Trying to handstand out of this predicament from Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
06:02For all the gaga, Dick Togo and Kanemaru putting up a hell of an effort here.
06:07Oh, Isshimori.
06:08Oh!
06:09Isshimori!
06:10Oh!
06:11Isshimori!
06:12As we sit, coming up on.
06:14And there's the covert.
06:15Two and a half.
06:18Very, very close to 40 years of experience in Dick Togo's career.
06:22Made his start in the late 1980s and was part of the old Universal wrestling organization.
06:30Well, that's where he had the connections to Jado and Kedo.
06:33Look at this.
06:35All of that pressure and that puts a lot of pressure on the neck of Isshimori, right?
06:39Yeah, for sure.
06:40That's where you know the experience of Togo, that's where he comes to play.
06:45And you said 40 years of experience, how old is he now? 50-something?
06:50Yeah, right, I mean...
06:52Doesn't look 50 at all to me.
06:54This is it, he is put together, and a tremendous, tremendous athlete,
07:00still one of the best junior heavyweights of all time,
07:03which is why it's such a shame that he takes so many shortcuts.
07:07And Ishimori knows just how good Yoshinobu Kanemaru is,
07:12absolutely cursed against the man.
07:1415 singles matches, Yoshinobu Kanemaru has won 14 of them.
07:1914 and 1 against Ishimori, the only match that Ishimori won,
07:23it was an empty arena, there were no people to see it.
07:26And here is Sifu Utsaki, delivers though.
07:30And Ishimori, the chance to get free to Robbie X, who is well rested.
07:39And set to come in like a house of fire, up we go, down goes Dick Togo.
07:48Springboards in to Kanemaru, there's Robbie X, here's the cover.
07:57And only two, so it's going to start up.
08:01It's going to take more to take down the Hillmaster,
08:05the beautiful springboard dropkick by Robbie X.
08:08I think one of the big situations is X hoists Kanemaru,
08:15and gets denied, and shut down right to the beard, goes Nobik.
08:21Robbie X, someone who made reference to it, Frankie,
08:25someone that spent so long being so overlooked as part of,
08:30you know, one of the hardest workers over in Red Pro,
08:33in the British independence scene.
08:35And, you know, when he finally got the call-up by Sifu Utsaki,
08:38he grabbed hold of that chance with both hands.
08:41Yeah, but then he did the worst decision in joining War Dogs.
08:48There was an invite on the table for TMDK
08:51that Robbie X turned down to be a part of the War Dogs.
08:57That happened last year at Royal Quest,
09:00and Dick Togo now going to stall the momentum of Robbie X.
09:05The X-Express stuck at the station here.
09:08Maybe he leaves on the line.
09:12Oh, Integiri denied.
09:14Dick Togo.
09:16There you see the 40 years of experience, you know,
09:19playing with his legs, like beating up his legs,
09:22because if he can't jump, then he's very offensive.
09:25A lot on.
09:28X's offense relies on having a base to kick from.
09:33A base that's...
09:34Oh!
09:35That's taken away,
09:36and the Bret Hart around the ring post here.
09:42Figure four on the knees.
09:45The knee broken over the knee,
09:47broken over the steel ring post.
09:49And that is exactly what Kanemaru loves to see as well.
10:02Kanemaru looking to get his win back from Best of the Super Juniors earlier on in this year.
10:09At figure four.
10:10And Kanemaru, well, Ishimori was only just able to break away that hold by brute force.
10:20Tag made in, and...
10:23Titsogo.
10:27Might not like to see it, Frankie, but this is House of Torchers matchup here.
10:31Yeah.
10:32No, no, no.
10:33You know, this is one of the fresh teams, we talked about it before, right?
10:37Togun Kanemaru.
10:38But we can see them very well oiled, like, you know, well working together.
10:44They're a pretty good team, to be fair.
10:46Oh!
10:47Oh!
10:48Oh!
10:49Oh!
10:50Oh!
10:51Oh!
10:54You cannot discount the sudden explosive athleticism.
10:59Yeah, Robbie X.
11:01Robbie X, and as bad as those knees are, and...
11:06Oh!
11:07Oh, X didn't mark the spot there, but Dick Togo stumbled into the referee.
11:12Execution, no!
11:14Oh!
11:19Down goes X, crucifix, from the whiskey, missed.
11:23No, the cover, but it's dead.
11:25Crossface and Togo.
11:28Kanemaru, the figure four.
11:33As expertly, as well worked.
11:37Ishimori is close to the rope, but that doesn't count until Robbie reaching.
11:41Yeah, X just about makes it.
11:46I mean, this is the debut entry into Super Junior Tag League for X and Kanemaru, but I mean, they might as well have been teaming for, they might as well have been teaming for 40 years.
11:57Oh!
11:58Oh!
12:01A double execution.
12:02Take that, my boyhawk.
12:03Ah!
12:05Ah!
12:06And now all of a sudden the match turns on a dime.
12:08Togo served up, knee to the face.
12:10Knee to the face.
12:11Rock him.
12:20Oh, there's the double team, Robbie X upstairs.
12:24It's about to leave the station.
12:26Here we go, all aboard the X-Express cover.
12:33Two and, yes.
12:40It was about as good and about as flawless a tag team game plan as you could possibly
13:00imagine with Dick Togo and Yoshinobu Kanemaru, but in the end, that sudden explosivity, Ishimori
13:08right there with his assist, the X-Express Whiskey Dick leads Limp tonight, and it is
13:16the War Dog on two points.
13:19Whiskey Dick might be not that delicious, you know, not that good of a whiskey.
13:26Oh, we'll see just how sweet they can be.
13:29Ishimori, er, rather, Fuchito and Robbie Eagles are waiting tomorrow night here in Corcoran,
13:35and it will be Kushida and Yoshioka awaiting Robbie X and Ishimori, a little bit of a drag
13:43again connection.
13:44Coming up tomorrow, we'll talk all about it.
13:46going up tomorrow, we'll talk all about it.
13:50And, well, speaking of matches with a lot of intrigue...
