00:00Well, I'm going to use you as my protector.
00:04Oh, what?
00:05I'm injured, man. I cannot get injured again.
00:07Oh, well, okay, okay, okay. I'll let you off for having an injury.
00:12Hey, as we said, I'm going to let you cheerleaf the United Empire in just a second,
00:17but as I promised fans in Trenton, New Jersey.
00:21New Jersey, new beginning for New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2026, February the 27th.
00:28In 2026, we're going to hit the Cure Arena in Trenton, the new beginning USA.
00:35Special venue and fan club presale is coming up right after today's event.
00:42That is 10 a.m. Eastern time.
00:44And if you're listening on the East Coast and you're watching on the East Coast,
00:48here's a little scoop, a little exclusive for you.
00:54Ticketmaster.com.
00:56We'll have the link on njpw1972.com as well.
01:01Use the code njpw.
01:03An easy one to remember the code njpw is your access code for the presale.
01:08It is going to come up, be a part of a new beginning USA in Trenton.
01:13How about this team?
01:15Accurate.
01:16The floor is yours.
01:17Templario and J.A.Y.
01:19That's, you know, I wanted, of course, to be in this junior tag league,
01:24but seeing this team makes me really happy.
01:27I know Jacob put a lot of works recently since he came to New Japan,
01:31and Templario is probably the best luchador out there.
01:34So they make, for sure, a great team.
01:37And honestly, I hate the house of torture.
01:40Wow.
01:41You know, all the scam things they're doing recently.
01:45It's very disgusting.
01:46Disgusting.
01:47Correct.
01:48I'd agree with you.
01:49But successful also, yes.
01:51Doki, a double IWGP junior heavyweight champion.
01:55both singles and tag goals.
01:58And this all sparked off at Dominion this year,
02:04when Doki, well, jumped from what was left of Just X guys
02:10over into the house of torture.
02:13I always think, Macchio, that it was Yoshinobu Kanemaru
02:16that made the connection.
02:18It has to be.
02:19It has to be, you know.
02:20And, you know, I mean, I think a part of that,
02:23a part of the deal was, well, Doki has his own lackey.
02:28Shou is Doki's own personal mansling.
02:32And then, you know, if you think about it last year,
02:36when they had that match at Ryogoku.
02:38Exactly right.
02:39Three minutes.
02:40I would have never imagined it.
02:41Doki crushed Shou inside of three minutes
02:44in Ryogoku Zemo War.
02:46And I think the extra cherry on top of this poison cake
02:51was, well, Shou is forever gonna be in your depth.
02:54He is forever gonna do absolutely anything for you.
02:58Forever gonna be subservient to Doki as Shou.
03:01And we saw that with how he attacked Esparado
03:04and helped Doki to the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
03:07It made me sick then.
03:08He's gonna make us sick now.
03:10And, well, it must be a big shame for you guys to have us,
03:23the greatest tag team as your opening contest.
03:30This, of course, is supposed to be a contest to determine the best junior heavyweight tag team.
03:36That's already determined, so...
03:41There really isn't much point in us wrestling here tonight.
03:45So, we're going to, well, just give you a little bit of education here.
03:55What choice?
04:00Being offered to you here, either we beat you up,
04:05or you can just take your forfeit...
04:10I don't understand Japanese, you said.
04:15More Japanese, a little bit better than Jay Wise.
04:21Wait, wait, wait.
04:22Teplano!
04:23Espanol, por favor.
04:26Kinga tu madre!
04:29Yeah!
04:30Well, I don't speak Spanish.
04:33And I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna even...
04:34Well, it's rated.
04:35We cannot say that voice in the TV.
04:36Hey, Sakamoto made a great catch there.
04:38We're off to the races.
04:40Jacob Austin Young taking care of Shou.
04:43Hey!
04:45Yeah, beat his ass!
04:46Yeah!
04:47Come on, Jacob!
04:52Great job, Jacob!
04:54Come on, Jay.
04:56Well, Doki and Teplano are on the other side.
04:59They see the caption there, the rules for Super Junior Tag League.
05:0312 teams in A and B blocks.
05:05You get two points for a win, zero points for a loss,
05:07one point for a draw.
05:08And the top point scorers in each block will face off in the finals.
05:13November 2nd at Final Homecoming.
05:14Templario up high.
05:16Walks the ropes.
05:17Great takedown over there.
05:19Templario earlier on this year, Frankie, just like you did,
05:24challenged El Desperado for the Junior Heavyweight Championship.
05:28a fantastic match that Templario had.
05:32It was a great reign for El Desperado,
05:34and that's what made Doki's win all the more upsetting.
05:38I mean, it had to be, especially for somebody like you
05:40that fought Desperado so hard for that time.
05:42Yeah.
05:43And, you know, I was ringside for Templario challenging,
05:48but he did a really good job.
05:51But it was a shame to see Desperado title reign handed like that for Doki.
06:03Well, this is Jacob Austin Young's first New Japan Pro Wrestling
06:09and he's been working all the harder ever since.
06:10Yeah.
06:11So he's looking to show up and show out.
06:13He was definitely, he felt very slighted not being invested in Super Junior this year
06:18with J.A.Y.
06:19And I think he's been working all the harder ever since,
06:22put on a lot of sizes, the Dangerous J.
06:24Yeah, that's right.
06:25And, you know, that's what you do.
06:27When you get a no, you're gonna work harder
06:29and get a yes the next time.
06:31And you got a yes this time.
06:33Austin Young now taking it to Junior Heavyweight Champion.
06:39I mean, this is a big chance here for United Empire
06:42to get one up on House of Torture
06:44and on the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions
06:47and the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Singles Champion.
06:50Can you imagine if J can pull like a win over Doki?
06:55That would be massive for him.
06:57Well, certainly Sho and Doki have not been beaten for a while,
07:01but usually by the skin of their teeth
07:03and usually a handful of tights as well
07:05have aided them to repair defenses.
07:09Certainly House of Torture have been as despicable as they are,
07:14very, very strong over the last few months
07:17and that has to be, and no disrespect, you know,
07:20standing in contrast to United Empire, very quiet.
07:23You know, I mean, Guido Khan has been persona non grata.
07:26We haven't seen him for ages.
07:27We might see some of Templario here.
07:29Sho is, uh-oh, teasing, pulling off the mask
07:33and instead, oh no, the chair across the throat.
07:37You know, I mean, I have to get your read
07:39on this whole United Empire situation.
07:41I haven't heard from Callum Newman for ages.
07:44I won't lie to you.
07:45Like, I'm not saying we are in good condition.
07:47I'm not saying that we are as strong as we used to be.
07:51But it's a point where we are about to hit maybe rock bottom,
07:57but after that, you know, it's only up from there.
08:00So maybe the win today from Jay and Templario could actually help us
08:07get into, you know, my injury, I'm injured, and I'm injured.
08:11So we're sure we're not being very lucky.
08:16Oh, not much luck for that.
08:18Dangerous day there.
08:20Drop ribs first.
08:21And oh, I know.
08:26Imagine that.
08:27You're being torn limb for limb here by the Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions,
08:32Joe and Dohki.
08:39Goal!
08:43The Young and Templario a reasonably fresh team,
08:48were successful in Longbeach just last year,
08:52they haven't teamed together before.
08:54I know that.
08:55Yeah, it's a tricky situation all the harder.
09:00Well, I mean, that is classic and also torture tag team work, the distraction provided by Sho, the chair from Doki, here's the cover, and Sho gets two.
09:16Well, Akira, you get well familiar with the structure of this tournament. I mean, you've won this tournament.
09:22I mean, what's your advice when it comes to pacing for a tag team coming here in another two, as Sho goes to works on the ribs here.
09:32What's the best way to strategize for the whole tournament?
09:35For the whole tournament, I would say, of course. If you already tag with your partner, that's more easy.
09:41You know, when I won it with TJ, we were already champion, became champion once at once.
09:46So we knew each other, we knew our pacing, we knew our tempo.
09:52But in this case, Templario and Jay doesn't know much about each other as a team.
09:58So what would I recommend here is to try, and even it's okay to do some mistakes at first, maybe the first match, the second match.
10:07But then after that, you can actually go up, you know, you can work together well.
10:13But you have to do some mistakes at first. You have to learn each other.
10:16You have to learn how Templario moved, how Jay moved, and then go from there.
10:21I think we're going to see, and that's a great point, you're going to see a lot of fresh teams in this tag league.
10:26Teams that are guys that have never teamed before, and that is going to make things difficult.
10:30And it's going to be, I think, to the advantage of House of Torture and to the advantage of last year's winners as well.
10:36Kosei Fujita, Robbie Eagles, we'll talk about Robbie X and Taiji Ishimori as well.
10:40It's definitely going to favor those teams because there's only five lead matches, and then it's the final.
10:46So you can really...
10:48Oh! Big Otone no Divinity!
10:51You can take two losses, and after that, that's it.
10:55If you lose three times, you're out of the hunt.
11:02J-Y, here we go!
11:06You ready to see some lucha?
11:09Chris, let's go!
11:10Oh, he's ready to see some lucha.
11:11Great to see Templario back in the mix here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
11:16Up and over. Underneath goes Templario. Look at this! Smooth as silk, and Doki clicks the hiccup.
11:32Apparently, Doki is, well, in his own words, treated as a god in Mexico.
11:39That's what he said, at least.
11:41That's what he said. Templario.
11:44Not up for such sacrilege, this Peter Rudi. To the vertical base.
11:53Vamos, vamos Templario.
12:02Up goes Scho on the shoulders. Oh, man!
12:05A little detonation-style kick there. Templario, shoulders down.
12:09But they needed a little bit more body-on-body.
12:18Scho is sucking wind here.
12:20And immediately, Scho is so good at small joint manipulation, which is, by the way, illegal, as is this.
12:33During the referee, there's the spear.
12:35And for a guy like Templario, Franky, perhaps not just as, perhaps not as familiar as with Jay as he would like, but also not as familiar with Scho and Doki.
12:48So, there is, perhaps you would have seen that spear coming. Templario could not.
12:53Like, he is not here usually, so he doesn't know all about this out-of-turture bullshit.
13:00And, you know, we might see him as other out-of-turture members tonight.
13:04So, you know, they never wrestle only fair and square.
13:08There's always something going on.
13:10And whispers were, I heard from building security, that evil has been milling around downstairs in the bowels of Koroko and Hawke.
13:21Don't let Aaron Wolfe hear that.
13:23Scho looking for a power bomb, perhaps that power breaker he likes to use.
13:27Instead, Templario fights out.
13:29Oh, a little bit of fighting spirit there.
13:37Changes levels.
13:39Nice.
13:40Good to see him down the end of the game.
13:42One, two, three-step low, middle, high.
13:45Changed the levels up on Scho.
13:48He's on Dream Street here.
13:50Both men near the corner need to make a tag.
13:54Oh, maybe Templario doesn't, but he does anyway.
13:57Let's get dangerous.
14:07Toki.
14:09Hang on.
14:12Oh, man.
14:15What's that?
14:16Sling Blade?
14:17What's that?
14:18Sling Blade, right?
14:19Sling J, let's call it a Sling J.
14:21Sling J, that's a sick name right there.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Yeah.
14:29Yeah.
14:30Well, nicely done there.
14:32Brain Buster, Corkscrew gets two.
14:35Jacob Austin Young has had a lot of time, Frankie, to develop a new offense coming into this Tag League.
14:44I think that perhaps might be an advantage for United Empire.
14:47Yeah, and I want to point out also the J new costume.
14:50Like, he, like, ready to grow up, you know.
14:53He wants to step up as a competitor, and he's stepping up right now.
14:59Nice.
15:00Ducked out of the way of Doki.
15:01And Doki again.
15:02Wow.
15:03I mean, I hate it, but you've got to respect it.
15:07Good work through the referee.
15:09Show with a steel chair.
15:11The darkness stretch.
15:12Come on.
15:13The darkness stretch 32.
15:15Give up, give up, give up.
15:16No more Doki Chokey.
15:18The darkness stretch 32 on J, and darkness is seeping in on the vision.
15:25Blood choke on the corroded arteries.
15:28The arms pulled out.
15:29Templario makes the save.
15:30Great save there by Templario, and again.
15:40Again, Doki's going to draw the referee, so you've got to look at what Show's doing.
15:44The mechanic's best friend.
15:46Knocked out of his hands.
15:50Oh!
15:55Oh!
15:56Now goes Templario, schoolboy Jacob Austin.
16:01No.
16:02Instead, hooks him.
16:05Bang!
16:06Doki didn't see it coming.
16:08A junior everweight champion.
16:10Oh, two and a half, says referee Sakonoto.
16:14That was really close.
16:16Oh, dangerous days inbound for Doki.
16:20Jacob's out of deny.
16:22Underneath.
16:25Watch out.
16:26Backslide, backslide.
16:27Feet on the ropes.
16:28Feet on the ropes.
16:29Feet on the ropes.
16:30Come on, abreast.
16:32The feet were on the ropes.
16:34Hey, Sakamoto.
16:35I'm starting to think that Sakamoto is actually paid by out of torture.
16:40Come on, how can you not see that?
16:42At least somebody would be paying him.
16:45It was, well, clear as day from our camera work.
16:50Sakamoto busy looking at the shoulders of Jacob Austin Young.
16:54Didn't see.
16:55Two feet on the ropes.
16:59And, well, that is surely a sign of things to come for IWGP Junior Airways AT Champions.
17:07They might not go 5-0, but any win they get will surely be a dirty one.
17:13Dragon Diet and Miyusuke Teguchi coming up for them tomorrow.
17:17It was a good show-in.
17:27Yeah, good.
17:28Great show-in by Jay, great show-in by Templario.
17:31It was just a, it was just, you know, house of torture tactics.
17:36Well, they will refocus on tomorrow, Hiromi Takahashi and Kedo, which I would say is, well, half of a very winnable match.
17:52It's a third night in Corcoran Hall.
17:56We'll be live in English for you here, right here on NJPW World.
18:01Hang on right here.
18:02Round three, alright.
18:03Chair Romans 6 is why Jun Mei is definetely firearms.
18:07No fair rules.
18:08Why Jun Mei was rebusable boys onto the races of Wolfetic.
18:11It was that Colacea Mere.
18:12It was in volکー會 and it was a great deal of race, under like Oh Muslim of the main effort.
