00:00Hello, wrestling fans. My name is Walker Stewart.
00:04We are live here tonight in Horanochi Gymnasium in Uonuma City, Niigata, Japan.
00:10It is time for Night 4 of Super Junior Tag League 2025.
00:15Yoroshiki onegai shimasu.
00:18And a couple of young lions are hitting the ring here tonight.
00:21Zay-J and Tatsuya Matsumoto head in the square and circle.
00:25Zay-J and Tatsuya Matsumoto head in the square and circle.
00:32Zay-J and Tatsuya Matsumoto head!
00:55Sixty-Novitzan fight!
01:04Well, it was an unfortunate night of action
01:10for many a team in Fla Até competition 24 hours ago
01:14that last came to you from Kumagaya City in Saitama, Japan.
01:18It was the first team to fall victim
01:24Elimination at the hands of Funky Carrot, Dragon Diet, and Ryusuke's Gucci, but, well, far from life right now, are Funky Carrot as well.
01:33We're down to two living teams in blockade competition.
01:37And Ryusuke, Daiki!
01:43Ballet Club World Dogs, 100% full, Krakuk Konatsu!
01:53But the mission is far from over, points can still be put up on the board for Carrot, Connors, and Daiki,
01:58a guy who's non-tournament action that is going to be kicking off our guard here in Uonuma City.
02:03Once again, my name is Walker Stewart.
02:06Hashtag NJSJTL to talk all about the action.
02:10And there you go, your play-by-play broadcaster in Japanese, as well as the lovely Milano Collection AT is at the ring.
02:19And we are set for Clark Connors and Daiki Nagai.
02:22Zero points on the board, winless.
02:24The first team eliminated from this year's Super Junior Tag League Tournament against St. J and Tatsuya Matsumoto.
02:31Two men who are certainly not looking to trend junior heavyweight.
02:35Yeah, but do not have the experience of men like Clark Connors.
02:39And even more so, maybe even a man like Daiki Nagai.
02:42And Nagai already limited on experience the way we've been talking about him.
02:45We're going to talk about it here.
02:47We're going to do this right, baby.
02:48Yeah, come on.
02:49We're going to do this right.
02:50I'm going to go on my fucking junior high.
02:51That's what you remember about your good five days, huh?
02:52Hey!
02:53Hey!
02:54Hey!
02:55Hey!
02:56Hey!
02:57Hey!
02:58Hey!
02:59Hey!
03:00Hey!
03:01Hey!
03:02Hey!
03:03Hey!
03:04Hey!
03:05Hey!
03:06Hey!
03:07Hey!
03:08Hey!
03:09Hey!
03:10Hey!
03:11Hey!
03:12Hey!
03:13Hey!
03:14Hey!
03:15Hey!
03:16Hey!
03:19Hey!
03:25Hey!
03:26Hey!
03:27Hey!
03:28Hey!
03:29Hey!
03:30Hey!
03:31Walk down play!
03:34Yeah!
03:35Hey!
03:36course over from the LA Dojo underneath Katsuyori Shibata and into the world of
03:40New Japan Pro Wrestling is a member of the War Dogs. Zane J on the other end of
03:44that equation. A very similar trajectory albeit in a different font if you will.
03:49A member of the NJPW Academy studying under men like Rocky Romero, Fred Ross or
03:54Kushida. You go on and on about the list of names. And then of course Zane J coming to
03:59Japan the same way as a young lion. And I think that there is a conversation we
04:05had. A couple of parallels to be drawn between Zane J and Clark Connors in that
04:09way. And one of those being well Clark Connors wanted to jump the line, jump the
04:13line rather when he was a young lion. Did not want to wait for opportunity to be
04:17handed to him. That's exactly why the War Dogs came to be born back in 2023 in the
04:22first place. Meanwhile Zane J has had a lot of talk on social media about jumping
04:27the line and admittedly you look to other young lions like Dike and Gai and you go
04:30why the hell should Zane J potentially jump the line if the skill is there to
04:34back it up. And that's the question that we have been begging throughout the
04:37early goings of this tournament when it comes to Zane J specifically in undercard
04:42competitions. Shock tag team action alongside Hiroshi Tanahashi. Tanahashi saying in the post-match
04:48comments about Zane J, you are the future of professional wrestling. And were those
04:54just kind encouraging words from the ace or were they everything and more that Zane J needed
05:00to be. I'm not too certain. Turn it around and a shoulder tackle from Clark
05:04Connors but a defiant stance back to it. Vertical position for Zane J.
05:09And one more time Zane J going to be the one to try and misdirect and does so here. Big shoulder
05:20tackle. Takes down Clark Connors.
05:22It was one day after that fact in Korokan Hall. We talked about Kushida earlier on in the evening.
05:29We're going to be talking about Kushida later on in the evening as well as Tatsuya Matsumoto
05:33makes the attack. Our main event here tonight, Kushida and Yuki Yoshioka versus Ichiban Sweet
05:39Voice. Kosei Fujita and Robbie Eagles. Two teams tied at four points as a cover here for Tatsuya
05:45Matsumoto will only find one on Clark Connors.
05:49One, two, one, three!
05:56Wow, a steamroll from the Junior Cotters.
06:18That is heavyweight hit right there.
06:20You're taking after Driller Maloney,
06:22or taking after every single other War Dog.
06:24You talk about bringing gold or bringing bodies,
06:27there is no gold to be had for Connors and Nagai in the future,
06:31at least by the standing of this Super Junior
06:33Tag League tournament at the moment.
06:34So, it is all about bringing the bodies, instilling violence.
06:39Oh, and Dike and Nagai and Nagai trying to follow suit
06:42on the outside, taking care of Tatsi Matsumoto
06:45the way that he knows how to do.
06:48Clark Connors hoping to rub off on Dike and Nagai,
06:51serve as the mentor, serve as the leader.
06:53You know, much the way that Clark Connors was in a similar position
06:57to the guy back in, what, 2019?
06:59A wild rhino hits New Japan Pro Wrestling team alongside TJP.
07:06TJP managed to lead Clark Connors for a brief period of time, of course,
07:11before, well, Connors' turn to become what Connors has become.
07:14But Clark is at his best right now in 2025.
07:18And a cover kick out at two.
07:21That is all it is going to be for Connors on Zane J right now.
07:26And here comes a young lion.
07:41Oh, Dike and Nagai.
07:42Yeah, these two have not liked each other since Zane J first burst onto the scene.
07:47Dike and Nagai one class the senior over Zane J in terms of his status in the No Gay Dojo.
07:56And look at that.
07:57We talk about increased violence and necessity for a future War Dog potentially.
08:02That's how Connors sees the guy.
08:03Cover here for Dike and a two count only.
08:07The question that I have, and I pitched it to Robbie X yesterday in the English Broadcast booth.
08:12Does Dike and a guy want to be a member of the Bullet Club, want to be a member of the War Dog?
08:19Or does he want to remain unaffiliated alongside men like Yodosuji, Shingo Takagi,
08:24Hiromu Takahashi, the man that plugged him from obscurity rather?
08:29Listen to it, they're alive and well tonight in Uaduva City.
08:38Here comes Youngline Matsumoto.
08:39Cover here for Matsumoto.
08:53Let's go!
09:01Oh, boy!
09:07Ah!
09:08Ah!
09:10Ah!
09:11Ah!
09:11Ah!
09:12Ah!
09:12Ah!
09:13Ah!
09:14Ah!
09:15Ah!
09:16Ah!
09:16Ah!
09:16Ah!
09:18Yeah!
09:19Simozo going for the three beat.
09:21Does so on Youngline The Guy.
09:23here for Tatsuya Matsumoto, two count only.
09:45Yama Matsumoto now wants that Boston Crab here on Daikinagai.
09:48Meanwhile, Zane J and Clark Connors continuing to battle
09:52it all around ringside right now.
09:54Matsumoto has that Boston Crab locked in.
09:57Dead center of the ring as close as you can get to it on Daikinagai,
10:01but the guy inching a little bit closer to that red corner.
10:03A little bit closer to a few sets of ropes, but, well,
10:08yeah, I don't know how much closer the guy's gonna need to get.
10:11Clark Connors is here.
10:12Get up there!
10:14No!
10:19No!
10:23And Connors now, bam, straight brain on the canvas.
10:28Meanwhile, Zane J looking back, gonna turn things around tonight.
10:31No!
10:32No!
10:33Off the ropes here for J. Turned around.
10:36Watch, watch, watch.
10:38Spear!
10:41A spear from Connors.
10:43That's gonna do God's work right there.
10:45And it is gonna be something godly if we've seen a guy pick up
10:49victory here tonight for the first time in this tournament.
10:51No one tournament action, though.
10:54Yeah, and that's not gonna be what favors Connors.
10:58The guy, though, that's a receipt shot if I've ever seen it.
11:01Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, Mascotto has really been tailoring this technical side
11:14of his arsenal.
11:15Daikin, a guy cannot afford to tap out here.
11:17Why the hell is he in this tournament if he's losing out to men who are younger than him?
11:22Men who have less experience than inside this square circle.
11:26The guy cannot afford it.
11:28And to the bottom rope, saves himself, and that's gonna be something that you highlight
11:32when you look back at this matchup here tonight.
11:34The guy doesn't need Connors every step of the way.
11:38He needs to be able to get the job done on his loan.
11:40So...
11:41Oh!
11:42Oh!
11:43Oh!
11:44Oh!
11:45Oh!
11:46Oh!
11:47Oh!
11:48Oh!
11:49Oh!
11:50Oh!
11:51Oh!
11:52Oh!
11:53Oh!
11:54Oh!
11:55Oh!
11:56Oh!
11:57Oh!
11:58Oh!
11:59Oh!
12:00Oh!
12:01Oh!
12:02Oh!
12:02Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
12:04The guy's spine, Buster.
12:06Yeah!
12:07Oh!
12:08And look at this, this is signature right here.
12:10Turns things around now.
12:11That Boston Crab from Young Wyatt and Daikin, a guy.
12:15Mark Connors holds Zane J back at ringside.
12:16The guy has it in center, the guy has to win right here.
12:20The Boston Crab didn't do it with the points on the line.
12:23You've got to build up to the biggest stage of your career.
12:30The guy, the guy, dead center again, and that's going to be the tap.
12:34Knock some altos out of here.
12:53Yeah, I cannot wait to see these two go toe-to-toe one more time.
13:01Saint Jay and Clark Connors.
13:04Two men with a couple of mounts on them.
13:11All the talking has been done and dusted inside this ring tonight.
13:15Clark Connors and Daikinigai victorious in in-ring competition,
13:19and the question then leads us to what is coming up next for Connors and Daikinigai.
13:24It is October 28, two days from now.
13:27We'll face off against the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.
13:33Hidoki and Sho.
13:35Block A competition resuming, coming up in Nikana.
13:43Oh, wait a minute.
13:44What's it?
13:45And Dakinigai has wheels on here.
13:48Oh!
13:58Two might be a party, but three is the crowd.
14:01Mark Connors, Daikinigai, and Wheelson taking it in the back for a big celebration.
14:08We're live tonight for Night 4 of Super Junior Tag League 2025.
14:12I can't wait to get Clark Connors in the booth later on in the evening.
14:16Heads in the eyes ahead.
14:17One too many strong zeros.
14:19Come on!
14:20Come on!
14:21Come on!
14:22Come on!
14:23Coming up next, folks.
14:24It is House of Torture, Doki, Sho, and Yutro Takahashi versus the Hauntai Trio.
14:29Full Tinole, Toriyato, Master Toriyato, and that comes up next here on New Japan World.
14:34We thank you for sticking with us.
14:35We thank you for sticking with us.
14:41Oh
