00:20Man livre
00:21you know clark i never want to speak on your behalf but i have to imagine that one of the
00:35perks maybe the only perk to join me in the booth as you have so many times recently
00:39is being able to witness live and in person the final days of piroshi tanahashi in new japan pro
00:45wrestle well you know you're not wrong about that i know the ace himself has been ducking me in the
00:51ring so this is my final road for tanahashi at least get to see him up close and personal
00:57as he kind of rounds out these final couple months
01:15we are a little over three months away and by this point maybe now a little under three months
01:35away from saying goodbye to the ace of the universe for the final time in a professional wrestling ring
01:41the world has been wondering car who is it going to be who is going to step to hiroshi tanahashi
01:46at his final matchup in the tokyo dome but before we get an answer to that tanahashi has guaranteed
01:53he's walking into the tokyo dome as a champion the upcoming global heavyweight title match yota suji
01:59tanahashi november 2nd in tana's own hometown of gifu yeah man suji because we saw last time we were
02:08together king of pro wrestling he's one of the strongest wrestlers in the world right now and he
02:12proved it against kfk taking that title from him but uh if there's any advantage that hiroshi tanahashi
02:19have obviously other than the veteran advantage it's being at home you know saying farewell what
02:24better way to end it all in his hometown with the title victory so that's going to be very interesting to
02:28see what he can do to pull it off
02:42lark i i gotta get the opinion son of a bitch i mean this has been one of the most unique pairings
02:49of maybe any tournament i've ever called in my career yeah i very conflicted about it you know i
02:58i said it before ghetto is like a brother like a father like an uncle to me and uh
03:05i guess i'm just really happy to see him having fun so if it's with with haromu it's with haromu you
03:13know but he's having a good time and that's all i really want for the guy junior heavy team champion
03:19tiny woman takashi hiro man i mean clark no disrespect to yourself and the war dogs but
03:28truth be told i think haromu takahashi has brought the best out of ghetto that we've seen in 15 years
03:33yeah you know he see the other night he did actually had a superfly splash that
03:38that actually probably would have went through the table if he did it in a cage
03:41wow yeah yeah we remember that the old lake shaking funky flash super splash
03:49uh yeah you know i mean it's one of those things that the right energy the right people
03:54bring out the best in people so at the same time the knockout brothers coming back to new japan
04:00david finley gets the best out of them the war dogs are getting the best of them and that's why
04:04they're the iwgp heavyweight champions yeah no doubt about that the war dogs
04:10bringing the best
04:14out of oscar and uto ice and these two men have brought the best out of one another
04:18ever since their days when they first squared off against each other in singles action as young lions
04:23now oscar and ice they have built a relationship they have built a bond
04:27on violence the way that you're trying to do with the guy yourself the way that david finley and yourself
04:33and game kid have all done in the war dogs violence is the number one bonding factor but well you're
04:38the true number one is the championship gold around their wings yeah man bring bodies or bring gold or
04:43something like that isn't it right and uh they've done both you know and that's what we'd love to see
04:50and that's what being a war dog is all about and now that we got an affiliated company
04:55of the war dogs iwgp tag champion team 2m 1cm 125kg
05:03oscar
05:07180cm 113kg
05:11yuto ice
05:27in the building baby you're right about it
05:32clark i heard rumors when i got into the building here today that
05:36yuto ice was trying to teach haromo the word bumble clap
05:40god i don't think i was there for that conversation but
05:44i bet it went exactly how you thought it went right
05:48let's see if he uh takes it into account today we see you see a bumble clap
05:55what does bumble clap mean yeah it's like a it's kind of a swear word it's like a chamacan patois you
06:01know patois yeah okay what does it mean though yeah well i i don't think i can talk about that on
06:07air okay but you know what it means well of course i do i'm a cultured man clark cotters
06:14i'm a cultured man hanging down in bimini
06:18kicking it it's been a little bit too much time here yuto ice on the buses that's what it is
06:22oh this is going to be something to keep your eye on yuto ice and hiroshi tanahashi yeah he's
06:31he's got isn't he from the same town as that's the story that's the way that it's been told it's
06:37the way that yuto ice has talked about it you know a lot of men in their careers have been inspired
06:41by the work of hiroshi tanahashi saying i saw him hit a high fly flow into tokyo dome that's what
06:47made me want to become a professional wrestler yuto ice saying well i found out that tanahashi
06:53went to my junior high school in gifu and i was upset that maybe people wouldn't consider me the
06:59toughest guy from gifu that's why yuto ice was inspired to become a pro wrestler it's pretty that's
07:05pretty damn cool honestly talk about knowledge and story from the kid but he's kind of the emphasis
07:10of everything the ace is right and i think that's how you have to be in this business and make a name for
07:15yourself man you got this getting loud they like everybody in this match
07:28it was something that absolutely blew me away in kumagaya when i've already heard
07:33positive reception to ghetto you know i mean it was it was a really shocking moment on the night he was
07:39the fan favorite of the whole night and well yeah this is going to be how this is going to be we're going
07:45to hear how niigata has to feel about ghetto and haromo specifically but man i got to tell you haromo's
07:50been bringing some of the more likable qualities out of gato in this tournament well this season and
07:55brings out the back all these other people when they face them yeah that's true and watto going to
08:00pour into the ring here tonight this is going to be haromo and gato facing off against wato and yo
08:04coming up in super junior tag league action and there's only one of these teams still alive in tournament
08:11competition watto and yo former junior tag team champions reigned earlier this year
08:16would love to win super junior tag league for the first time in their careers together
08:27there's that double jawbreaker are you looking for a double mother
08:30no no no wato and yo catching the boots here double jawbreakers out of wato and yo
08:46let's go
08:50i don't know if that was a mock or what is yo throwing this has to be a war dog i don't know let's see
08:55well tag going to be made in the corner here here comes master watto former junior tag team champion
09:04last competed in super junior tag league in 2023 alongside el desperado a man who well didn't
09:09exactly want to be in the same team as watto as you recall yeah well watto tried to earn the respect
09:16of desperado he's gotten it a lot easier from yo and that's what made them such a successful team so far
09:22in the junior division yeah no i mean they you know watto is kind of like a wounded puppy been
09:26around with everybody and everybody in hontai and some people you know when they see his stray they
09:31take pity on some people when they see his stray they don't they kick him to the curb you know but
09:35he keeps coming back but you know he's as much as i don't like the guy and i think he's a goof he's
09:41a formidable opponent he does his karate and he's on his way to being a grandmaster
09:44what's on haromo now left arm everyone has been wrenching at this left arm and yo is going to be
09:57the one to bring it back in here
10:03it is an undefeated record for watto and yo put down funky garen on night one
10:08put down yourself and the guy on night two victory yesterday as well on night three and now and it
10:14carries us into what is essentially the first preview tag match that watto and yo have had to
10:18compete in the whole series yeah yeah this has been a hot and heavy series real you know we've been
10:23flying after it uh you know if you can see it on the screen oh yeah they're in the corner
10:30like a gato that's the gator that we see giving him the signal
10:36you got to teach haromo the the war dog playbook in a way yeah yeah wait a minute well and haromo
10:44there we go putting it to good use that's what we like to see right there i mean i can't believe
10:49i'm going to say this but there is an alternate universe where haromo takahashi is a war dog
10:53would be a hell of a sight honestly yeah i you know i don't want to give finley he makes his own
11:00decisions but yeah haromo's a war dog is something else i'd say you know that's one of the interesting
11:05things we talk about the unaffiliated like they are a true unit they have a logo they have a name
11:10i mean these are just men who consider themselves separate from hontai know that they don't exactly
11:15want to be members of united empire or tmdk or anything else but that they're not meant to be in
11:20the main unit they have to stand out in some way haromo could become a war dog daikin a guy could
11:25become a war dog we're always looking you know what i mean like it's like uh the they are the
11:30unofficial switzerland if as you will in new japan and uh but here comes you know what let's actually
11:39talk about the people who are in war dogs right now yeah sure big man oscar dude he and this whole
11:43thing with uto ice has come out like a like a house of well ice and but the thing holding this team
11:50together that i've seen has impressed me so much is big oscar man this this big schnitz himself
11:55is so imposing at any time that the match can turn around and he just picks you up at one time
12:00and slams you it could be over just like that and i think people are starting to really appreciate
12:05it once they actually feel them in the ring yeah i'm sure you can agree with the point i'm about
12:08to make here one of the most impressive things i've found about oscar ever since his return from
12:13excursion even when i was watching him compete on the independency and across europe across new
12:18zealand on that excursion alongside uto ice oscar's really learned to work within his size to
12:24use that size to advantage you know just as well as anyone the no gay dojo the la dojo those are
12:30systems that i've been told have kind of been a little junior oriented right it's a little difficult
12:35to be a man six foot seven like oscar and not have to move a little bit quicker than maybe you want to
12:42do post excursion no i agree completely they don't really emphasize as much about about strength um and
12:49about power as much as it is your internal your spirit right so for that a lot of times they just
12:55drill you and drill you and drill you in a way that doesn't necessarily teach you how to be as impactful
13:00more as it is just to have the heart to fight through impact and uh and as he's growing and learning
13:07oscar's getting the hold of it himself much like uh much like a hikaleo at the time right or a big down
13:14falling right as watson oh tripped up the boot there did haromo watch gato needs the same fake
13:24two teams mirror themselves very well tonight jawbreaker from yo on her elbow wanted another
13:30one on gato gato turns it around oh he's trying to fix his eyes
13:51relacing water everyone's looking for the tag here
13:54oh there's good out here in japan all right sanahashi yuta ice this is the one we've been wanting to see
14:00this is about to pick up look at the swagger yuto walks in there with we like this yuto ice has
14:06already made a massive statement alongside oscar putting down umino and uomora two members of hontai
14:12back at king of pro wrestling and ryokoku but the biggest test for the next two months will be how
14:18often yuto can get his hands on tanahashi it's the reason he got into this sport it is a driving course
14:25he would talk about it with oscar almost every single night on the road of excursion
14:31oh tanahashi wanted that basement drop kit oh that dragon screw leg whip
14:40oh no no no no bye-bye oh nice
14:46the ace is rocking and rolling tonight here in gata
14:58tanahashi now hitting the classics in unuba city middle rope senton collides cover here perfect one
15:12two count only

15:24oh you don't not going to allow it here clark
15:27there he is there's that power he came back looking bigger the chest is big strong and most
15:38most importantly forceful with those kicks
15:47i mean this is what you're going to see best out of you twice it's not going to be going home for home
15:52it's not going to be submission technique it's going to be big fight field
16:03here it is
16:06beautiful bumba clap double knees
16:09look at the sweater i mean it's hard it's hard not to look at a man that uto ice has become in such a short period of time
16:19uh talk about coming back and making a statement
16:31off the ropes whoa one of that penalty kick tally one matchups yesterday
16:36oh beautiful strike
16:39the ace wants his attendant wants young lion at katsu marishima in the ring and that's going to come here now

17:20marashima who needs the middle rope cover
17:27two oh nice
17:31marashima
17:35destined to be the final attendant the final protege serving underneath hiroshi tanahashi
17:40yeah that's pretty pretty cool let's see if he can
17:43beat the the guy from his hometown
17:47and show him really who uh who should be in tanahashi's eye oh
17:54new york's other men who have served as the attendant of hiroshi tanahashi you look to the current global
17:58heavyweight champion his upcoming opponent november 2nd yoda suji

19:16marashima oh message sent to the ace
19:24wow side sealed and delivered victory for the knockout brothers and the war dogs
19:31that right there is an image that is better than a thousand words that we could say
19:49well we cannot give any confirmation we cannot say whether it will or won't happen
19:54oh but i'll tell you right now it would be criminal for tanahashi to end his career without
20:00a one-on-one encounter with yuto ice in the future no doubt about that walker and that's stating your case
20:08wow war dogs standing tall tonight that's what i like to see
20:17oh wow yuto letting tana into the ring and putting the beat down in and on the ace of the universe
20:23oh
20:38this is brutal
20:39booze rang down that is everything we've come to expect out of the war dogs and out of the knockout
20:51brothers oh wait a minute
21:05He knows his place.
21:17And Clark, you certainly want to know who exactly are your dogs for real.
21:22I don't think Toromo Takahashi is quite fit in the description just yet.
21:27Takahashi Hiromu, Gedo, Oskar, Yuto Ice.
21:57Takahashi and Gedo versus Master Watto and Yo coming up 48 hours from now.
