00:00Oh
00:30to be quite honest with you robbie whenever i first saw the announcement for the team of
00:41robo takahashi and kato i may or may not have tried to refresh my feed a couple of times on
00:46twitter i i had no idea what was going on obviously i wasn't in japan at this point
00:53but i mean hey look what they're doing they're uh they seem to be working well together
00:58there he is there there's a man
01:12day 47 in the rain for the 59th
01:28gac junior heavyweight champion of pro wrestling noah is hiromu takahashi
01:33and gato i don't believe this man's held championship gold for about 10 years
01:38robbie i've always said for as long as i've been in new japan pro wrestling that you can always
01:55judge a man's character best based on how they receive house of torture
02:00they are horrible human beings i absolutely hate house of torture
02:13there are men in this sport have done everything in their power to try and redefine what junior tag team
02:31wrestling is in the modern day and if you look to those men you look to maybe yourself
02:36and taiji ishimori you look to francesco akira and tjp clark conners and drill baloney robbie eagles
02:43and kosei fujina all teams that represent the best of what junior tag team wrestling is and can be is
02:52and will be in the future but you are not seeing any of that greatness in the team of dokian show
02:56no and that's exactly what i mean by i absolutely hate house of torture
03:01there is not enough words to describe on how much i despise house of torture
03:06iwgp jr heavy q champion iwgp jr heavy q champion iwgp jr tag champion
03:26there is darkness that covers the junior heavyweight division
03:38and it is doki in the house sitting right at the top of it all
03:43oh good lord we're gonna hear from this goof
03:48well show says a very passive-aggressive good evening

04:14to see you guys
04:15it's just so good
04:17just a good
04:20and our opponent today

04:25or that's a fishhazze
04:26kikashi hiromu
04:29and that one
04:30and he is the one who cowled
04:33you
04:34let go
04:36you guys
04:38You are you there?
04:39Oh, and Hiromu right out of the gate here.
04:45Two for one combo on Sho and Doki.
04:49And we haven't even.
04:54You're so stupid, this guy.
04:58Huh?
05:00You're the one that you've been born with.
05:06You're the one that you've been born with.
05:08You're the one that you've been born with.
05:09Who's the one that you've been born with?
05:11Ah, ah, ah.
05:12Let me take it off.
05:15It's good.
05:24We have yet to hear a bell tonight.
05:28We've heard a lot of words.
05:30I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
05:32Sho with a deep apology to the people of Kumagaya.
05:40I think Gato's about to get bloody hands during this contest.
05:44Yeah, Red Shoes calls for the bell.
05:47We're already down in the hold.
05:48Hiromu Takahashi.
05:50Ah, of course, here's Doki.
05:52And Doki back on the play here.
05:55Junior heavyweight singles champion,
05:56junior heavyweight tag team champion.
05:58And here comes Gato.
05:59Listen to the reaction of Kumagaya to Gato tonight.
06:06Gato's made himself a lot of friends here.
06:08And that's not something that Gato can often say
06:11in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
06:14As it is, grounding out Sho for the time being.
06:17Two points on the board for Gato and Hiromu.
06:20That coming for a win over Clark Connors and Daiki Naga.
06:24Doki and Sho undefeated.
06:26Just like we talked about with Watto and Yo earlier on
06:29in the tournament.
06:31Oh, that wrench.
06:35That wrench in the hands of Gato.
06:37That obviously came for the back pocket of Sho.
06:54Meanwhile.
06:54Horomo, this has been one of the most confusing starts to a main event we've had in some time.
07:09Horomo has taken off the turnbuckle pad, and that is not going to help Kano in the favor.
07:16Here come the junior tag team champions now.
07:18The men who are undefeated in the block want to continue leading the block along side Watto and Yo.
07:24But have to score a victory here tonight to do so.
07:33And Sho doesn't apologize at all.
07:37Sho doesn't apologize to Kano, not to Kumagaya.
07:41Nothing in between.
07:47All right, let's get down to brass tacks for it.
07:50Night one, put down United Empire's Young and Templario to the House of Torture.
07:55Night two, put down Diane Taguchi.
07:59Get on Horomo have not had similar luck to House of Torture whatsoever.
08:04I mean, what do you think has to change in the game for Get on Horomo here?
08:08Do they just need to get on a better page with one of them?
08:10I guess it just, yeah, I guess it's a work in progress.
08:14Obviously, this is a whole new brand, whole new situation right now.
08:18So, again, it's just trying to get on the same page.
08:23You know, there's an irony in saying that Horomo and Kano need to get on the same page.
08:36Horomo's saying in post-match comments the other day that he feels like Gato and him have been teaming for 50 years.
08:4250 years?
08:4350 years.
08:45Come on, Gato.
08:47Gato is 56.
08:49And speaking of 6, 16.
08:50Count, and back inside the ring comes Gato.
08:55It's a very unique relationship formed between Horomo and Gato in such a short period of time.
09:01Gato almost on social media acknowledging, hey, I don't really want to be in this team,
09:06but the powers that be have made it happen.
09:08Horomo taunting Gato with AI-generated promotional graphics on social media, for whatever that's worth.
09:17Come on.
09:17Come on, Regu.
09:18Sort this out.
09:19Yeah, we do need to do something about this.
09:23It's going to be on the cover of Pro Wrestling Weekly.
09:31And Gato, yeah, this is a bad spot to be in.
09:34Horomo in a worse one on the outside.
09:36All the fun and games in the beginning of this match start to rub on you,
09:41and they start to rub the wrong way, Robby,
09:43when you realize that it's all because Doki and Shou don't know how to fight fair.
09:48No, no, they do not.
09:49None of House of Torture know how to fight fair.
09:52This is, again, going back to why I absolutely hate House of Torture.
09:57Are they smart?
09:58Maybe.
09:59But, again, they're just...
10:01I just hate them.
10:03I hate them, Walker.
10:04When we talk about what junior tag team wrestling is and should be, this isn't it.
10:09This isn't it at all.
10:10That steel chair, the edge of it, right into the gut of Gato.
10:13See, this is exactly...
10:15No, this is not junior wrestling.
10:18This is stupid.
10:19And Shou now.
10:22Yeah, no cover is going to be counted here.
10:25Red Shizuno, drawn up to Horomo in the corner.
10:28And Horomo taking off the apron one more time.
10:31Gato is in a bad, bad spot.
10:34Cover for Shou again, two only.
10:37Let's go, Gato.
10:37You know, Robbie, I know that there's people that tend to kind of look at the War Dogs in a disrespectful way.
10:45But just because you guys like to throw up a middle finger and say a swear word every now and again doesn't mean you aren't great tag team wrestlers.
10:51But Doki and Shou doing this, this is the lowest of the low.
10:55They've done what, like four, five cheating already?
11:00Like, we don't cheat.
11:02Yeah, we throw up the middle finger.
11:03Yeah, we like to beat people up.
11:04But then also, we are wrestlers.
11:08We are the best wrestlers.
11:11See, exactly.
11:13This.
11:14That's six times now.
11:16And now Gato.
11:18Oh, almost taken.
11:20Into the corner.
11:21You've got to fight fire with fire.
11:23And that's it right there.
11:26And Doki right back on the attack before Gato can even get some semblance under him.
11:30And again, Doki into the corner as well.
11:36Karma's a bitch, Walker.
11:37I hear it.
11:44And the tag made.
11:46Here comes Horomo.
11:47Red corner's alive and it's on fire.
11:50The unaffiliated in the War Dogs.
11:52Cross body.
11:53Cross body.
11:54And another.
11:55Saitama, Saitama!
12:02Horomo, a little bit of trash shock here.
12:05And for good reason, Double Cross takes down Shou and Doki.
12:10What the hell is this madman doing?
12:12Here he goes.
12:12Oh, all the way around.
12:18And another.
12:21Oh, we're going.
12:23We're...
12:23Oh, no.
12:26Gato with the cross body.
12:28Gato hasn't known cardio like that since the first Super Junior tagging.
12:40Gato!
12:41Gato!
12:43Gato!
12:43Hiromu's energy.
12:45Gato definitely has to keep up.
12:47And I mean, hey, he's...
12:49I think he hasn't got any choice as that shows.
12:53Yeah, this is...
12:54This is...
12:55Unruly from Hiromu Takahashi who's going to bring this one back inside.
13:02Something tells me it may not last that long.
13:04Yeah, so Hiromu wants to put down Shou here.
13:08Second ever Super Junior Tag League appearance for Hiromu Takahashi in 2025.
13:14It is incredible to cover here for Hiromu.
13:17To see how much that this man has defined junior heavyweight wrestling in New Japan in the modern era
13:22and only his second Super Junior tag appearance.
13:25That blows my mind that this is the only second year appearance.
13:30Hiromu's definitely a legend in junior wrestling.
13:34And Shou wants to consider himself a legend of the highest order.
13:40And he's got to put down Hiromu to steal that deal closer.
13:43As again, yeah, right into that exposed buckle.
13:47Hiromu and Gato using Shou and Doki's tricks against them.
13:53That time bomb could be inbound.
13:55No, no, Shou.
13:57Oh, damn it.
13:57Right to the hand.
14:02No, no, no, no.
14:03Spear.
14:12Touch of the blue corner.
14:14Here comes Doki.
14:15Immediate shot to Gato.
14:16The IWGP junior heavyweight champion versus the GHC junior heavyweight champion.
14:32Doki looking to take this one from the top rope.
14:36Double stop missed out.
14:37Hiromu right out of the way.
14:38Oh, cut down in submission.
14:45Submission attempt here from Hiromu, Robbie.
14:50Is he going to squeeze Doki's head to the point where he passes out?
14:53Oh, wait a minute.
14:55Red Shoes.
14:57Red Shoes didn't call for that bell.
14:58That was Shou.
14:59Come on.
15:01That's the ring hammer.
15:03The bell hammer in the hand of Shou.
15:05And Hiromu lets go of the hole.
15:09This isn't a good idea at all.
15:10Doki.
15:11Doki.
15:12No, no, no, no, no.
15:14Darkness stretch.
15:16Darkness stretch locked in from Doki.
15:21Wait a minute.
15:24Doki believes he's won this one, but...
15:26Ghetto with the ring bell of his own.
15:38Super kick from Hiromu.
15:48This has been one of the craziest main events we've seen all series.
15:54Ghetto makes the tag.
15:56Pokes in the eyes of Shou.
15:58And it works.
15:59It works.
16:00Simple and effective.
16:01Yeah, Ghetto's taking us back to Memphis now.
16:03A couple of rights.
16:04Got to be followed up.
16:06Oh, Doki.
16:07Oh, ho, ho.
16:10Come on!
16:13Ghetto jokes it.
16:20That was a bastard kick.
16:22Yeah, kids, mother.
16:23Yeah.
16:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
16:25Come on!
16:26Come on!
16:27Hey!
16:27Hey!
16:27Hey!
16:28Hey!
16:28Hey!
16:29Hey!
16:29Go!
16:30Go!
16:30Go!
16:31Slash!
16:31Oh, shit!
16:33Oh, come on!
16:35Come on!
16:36Come on!
16:37Red Shoes didn't see it.
16:38Oh, the world certainly has, though.
16:41Darkness stretch on Ghetto.
16:43Oh, this is embarrassing.
16:45A low blow to Ghetto.
16:47Submission attempt now.
16:48Ghetto's got to get to the bottom rope.
16:50Someone's got to do something about this.
16:52Horomo's held back by Shou at ringside here.
16:54Ghetto!
16:55Ghetto!
16:56Ghetto!
16:57Ghetto!
16:58Ghetto!
16:59Ghetto!
17:00Ghetto!
17:01This crowd wants Ghetto to win this one, but at least survive for the moment.
17:06There's no survival in the darkness stretch.
17:09Darkness is all Ghetto's gonna see after this.
17:12Horomo's in, though.
17:13Oh, watch, watch, watch.
17:26Doki and Shou got Horomo.
17:28Underneath again.
17:30Double cross body.
17:32One more time.
17:34Horomo's throwing his weight around right now, Robbie.
17:37Yes!
17:38Yes!
17:39Ghetto!
17:40Go!
17:41Here's the energy.
17:42Pass it on to Ghetto, Horomo.
17:43There we go.
17:44Jawbreaker combo.
17:45There it is.
17:46Motherfucker!
17:47There it is.
17:48Motherfucker!
17:49There it is.
17:50Motherfucker!
17:51Kick.
17:52Hey!
17:53Go!
17:54Football!
17:55Go!
17:56Football!
17:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:58Wait a minute.
17:59Well, Ghetto looks just as confused as I am.
18:00Horomo didn't just call for him.
18:01Get off!
18:02Get off!
18:03Get off!
18:04Get off!
18:05Get off!
18:06Get off!

18:17Horomo didn't call for...
18:18Superfly!
18:19Superfly!
18:20Yeah!
18:21Yeah!
18:22Here we go!
18:23Get off!
18:24Let's go, baby!
18:25Let's go, baby!
18:28Could we see it?
18:29Oh, give me a damn break.
18:32Hopes and dreams are dashed here tonight.
18:37Whoa!
18:38Doki takes out Sho!
18:39Superkick from Horomo!
18:44Superfly!
18:47Horomo's destined to make it happen!
18:53Timebomb connection, and now Ghetto from the top!
18:57Superfly!
18:58Superfly!
18:59Superfly!
19:00One!
19:01Two!
19:02Oh!
19:03Oh, man!
19:04Get off!
19:06Superfly is only a two count!
19:19Ghetto's got the bug!
19:20Ghetto's feeling it right now!
19:23Oh, but come on!
19:24Red Shoes!
19:25Not here!
19:26Low blow!
19:32And now...
19:33Oh, the Ghetto...
19:35Damn it!
19:38Come on!
19:39Cover!
19:40Not like this!
19:41It's over!
19:4215 minutes left,
19:4913 minutes left,
19:5015 minutes left.
19:51Doki's win.
19:52Doki's win.
19:57Doki and Sho have done it again!
20:02House of Torture..
20:09Have done it again
20:31They can't keep getting away with this Robbie a disgrace
20:39Hey, Ujimushi.
20:45Hey, you're the village of Saitama,
20:50but I'm not sure if you're saying that you're going to lose, you're going to lose.
20:55You're not going to lose.
20:57and we are not going to be receiving any further post-match comments from
21:13doki and show at least not in front of the people
21:16the people of saitama have not been permitted to hear anymore from the junior tag team champions
21:23but it is a heartbreaking loss
21:26for hiromu takahashi and kato this is not a surefire elimination
21:32by as far as our math can show us we're right on the bubble right now
21:38at two points remain hiromu and kato by the end of the night
21:42hiromu and kato
21:49so we're going to be able to get the end of the night
21:56You guys are a real monster.
22:05But...
22:07Everyone from熊谷...
22:10I got lucky to see this GEDO's Superfly.
22:19Why did you get it?
22:20I want to win!
22:22I want to win!
22:24GEDO is all about all of the guys from Saitama and all of the guys from熊谷.
22:37GEDO! GEDO! GEDO! GEDO! GEDO!
22:43I've become such a mess...
22:45I've become such a mess...
22:48In this league, we're going to win GEDO, MUDO, GEDO, MUDO!
22:55And...
22:57And...
22:58I want to get the IWGP Junior Tag...
23:01We'll get it back to them...
23:03ordecai fi been sir...
23:10in this league, and once again,
23:12More!
23:13More!
23:14More!
23:15More!
23:16More!
23:17More!
23:18More!
23:20More!
23:21More!
23:22All of us!
23:23Well, wrestling fans, we invite you to stick around
23:32to hear what Horomo Takahashi and Gero had to say
23:36and translate it into English.
23:37And by hear from Gero, I mean, well, you know what I mean.
23:44Gero not exactly in a position to speak right now.
23:47Horomo Takahashi is going to do the talking for the team,
23:50but we do have block map updates.
23:52I worked my way through the matrices.
23:53He's in the middle of those comments.
23:56And sadly, this loss here tonight does indeed eliminate
24:01Horomo Takahashi and Gero.
24:03Not only does this eliminate Horomo Takahashi and Gero,
24:08but it also eliminates United Empire's Templario
24:14and Jacob Austin Young.
24:15And by my math, also eliminates Yusuke Taguchi and Dragon Dia.
24:25We'll talk more about that.
24:27Horomo Takahashi and Gero is a man of the world.
24:28And I don't want to lose it.
24:29I don't want to lose it.
24:30I won't lose it.
24:31I won't lose it.
24:33You don't want to lose it.
24:35And we're not going to lose it.
24:37And I have to lose it.
24:38I'm not going to do anything like that.
24:46So, what do you want to do?
24:49We're the best.
24:52Why?
24:54We're all in our hands.
24:57We're the king of Mexico.
25:02And the king of Junior.
25:05And the king of Junior is the first D-Body champion.
25:10We won't be against you anymore.
25:14That's right, Junior's power-bounce.
25:18We're going to get ready.
25:23You said earlier.
25:26You're a little earlier, Junior.
25:30Don't be kidding me.
25:32Now, we're going to be the second D-Body champion.
25:36That's right.
25:37We're going to be different.
25:39The quote from Hiromu Takahashi before we end our broadcast here tonight.
25:46We can't end things in this atmosphere.
25:48Man, those guys are awful in reference to House of Torture.
25:51But how about Gato's Superfly?
25:53We lost tonight, but Gato and myself will take those tag titles.
25:57And until then, we will have more fun together.
26:00Those are the final words of Hiromu Takahashi.
26:03And as far as our block math can showcase, and I'm getting constant communication from
26:07our friends over at the mathematics side of New Japan Pro Wrestling's office and team
26:13in Bushiroad.
26:16The only two teams alive left in Super Junior Tag League's Block A are the only two teams
26:22at the top.
26:23Yo and Master Watto at six points.
26:25Doki and Sho at six points as well.
26:29On a night where zero were eliminated walking into the tournament, we have eliminated two
26:34thirds of your Block A contingent.
26:36Hiromu Takahashi and Gato are gone at two points.
26:40United Empires Templario and Jacob Austin Young are gone at two points.
26:44Funky Carrots, Taguchi and Daya gone at two points.
26:48Connors and Nagai done at zero points.
26:52Four out of six eliminated, only two teams left.
26:56And only one of them will walk away with it all.
26:59In Super Junior Tag League 2025, at least all the way to the final November 2nd.
27:05Now we talk about what's to come 24 hours from now on night four, October 26th.
27:10It is going to be an incredible night of action in Niigata.
27:13We're going to be live on NJPW World 6.30 p.m.
27:16Japanese Standard Time.
27:18And I cannot wait for our main event set for the evening.
