00:00Welcome to the house of torture.

00:30It is the house of torture that have continued to skate by and skate on into the

00:59lowest side of the entire point field in Block B. Still alive though at two points are Kanemaru

01:06and Togo.

01:07Takashi Yujiro, the spoiler, Dick Togo, 173cm, 85kg, Kanemaru Yoshinobu.

01:28Dick Togo and Yoshinobu Kanemaru, two points on the board.

01:31The combination of Whiskey Dick has hit Sano Island.

01:5520, or rather 48 hours ago, Kushida and Yuki Oshioca tore the house down in in-ring competition

02:19against the Ichiban Sweet Boys, Roddy Eagles and Kosei Fukuda. But it was not enough for Kushida and Yuki Oshioca to have a standout performance. The victory did not come by the end.

02:31Yuki Oshioca Yuki!

02:36Uonomashi PR Ambassador TimeSplitter KUSHIDA!

02:45Two and one record, four points on the board, Kushida and Yuki Oshioca.

02:49The last 68 days, 111cm, 101kg.

02:53Tanashi Hiroshi!

03:01Yesterday was day 69.

03:06Today, there are 68 days left in the professional wrestling career of the legendary Muroshi Tanahashi.

03:18And today, for the final time and for the first time, he says hello and goodbye to the people of Sato Island.

03:26The number escapes me now, but I've been saying it a little bit throughout the broadcast here tonight.

03:40First time in Sato Island since 91 or 94, somewhere in that early 90s span.

03:44Meanwhile, Tanahashi making his pro wrestling career back in October of 1999.

03:50Just recently celebrated 26 years of professional wrestling and it's been an incredible ride for all 26 of them.

03:58We are going to be saying goodbye in the year of 2026 to the Ace of the Universe.

04:04We have seen this trick a time or two before.

04:14Referee Kenta Sato shaking hands with Kit Togo out of the blue corner.

04:22I don't think Kushida should really afford himself the same liberty here tonight.

04:34Who am I to judge? Sato Island wants to see it.

04:46Living up to his better judgment here, Kushida.

04:50Hesitation on that exchange right there.

04:52And that's going to lead right into Dick Togo throwing the first shot.

04:55You can throw the first shot, but when you're with Kushida, you may not throw another shot again.

05:00As this man ties you up into as many holds as what Dick Togo could probably count up to.

05:08As much as we've talked about, Kushida an incredibly, incredibly well-adapted professional athlete.

05:18Dick Togo, who is far and beyond Kushida's years.

05:22Even at Kushida's advanced stage in professional wrestling, veteran status earned multiple times over.

05:27Former junior heavyweight champion is Kushida.

05:30Oh!

05:32And it's shots like that that have led to junior heavyweight title ranks.

05:36Junior tag team title ranks.

05:38And yes, so even.

05:40Super junior tag team tournament victories.

05:442012 alongside Alex Shelley as the time splitter for Kushida.

05:50And Yuki Yoshioka was going to go.

05:56Arm for arm, ring for ring.

05:58The left side worked on the body of Dick Togo here.

06:02Well, Togo looks like he's going to hurl.

06:04And here comes the ace of the universe to follow suit.

06:09Yeah!

06:10Yeah!

06:11Yeah!

06:12Yeah!

06:13Yeah!

06:14Yeah!

06:15Yeah!

06:16No!

06:17No!

06:18No!

06:19No!

06:20No!

06:21No!

06:22No!

06:23No!

06:24No!

06:25No!

06:26No!

06:27No!

06:28No.

06:30No.

06:31No!

06:32No!

06:33No!

06:36There's Nicolas and it's this shot.

06:39Over that last elbow of Dict Trade Togo.

06:41That is two points on the board forakanimaro and Dict Togo.

06:44Narrowly staying alive in this year's Super Junior Tag League tournament.

06:47Opposite Conrimanaro and Togo.

06:49Yuki Yoshioka out of Dragon Gate 1 half if you're Open to Twin Gate.

06:52Champions alongside Dragon Daiya will be seeing

06:54the funky character from Dragon Daiya and Ryusuke Toguchi in action

06:55against United Empires, Jacob Austin Young and Templario.

07:02Yoshioka alongside one of the greatest junior heavyweight champions

07:06that we have seen, one of the greatest and most consistent junior wrestlers

07:09in New Japan today in Kushida.

07:11Yoshioka to make the tag now.

07:13Drop Toho, Kushida.

07:15There's that shot again to the left elbow.

07:19And that is going to set up beautifully and dangerously

07:23for when the time comes, whether it be today,

07:25whether it be 24 hours from now in Fukushima

07:28for that hoverboard lock.

07:30Kanemaru is a technical savant in every single way.

07:33There is no taking that away from Kanemaru.

07:35But when you put him opposite of Kushida,

07:38it truly is 1A and 1B around here.

07:44And it is certainly two sides of the same coin

07:48in many different ways.

07:49Kanemaru scooped under, and it's a suplex from Yuki Yoshioka.

07:54That's going to bring Kanemaru lateral.

08:06Yoshioka, no.

08:07Togo kicked right from the back.

08:10Oh, and the spine worsening

08:12from that exposed turnbuckle shot.

08:14This is absolutely egregious.

08:16Who the hell let Yudro Takahashi in the building here tonight?

08:20I didn't even know he was allowed on the island.

08:25It's Dick Togo now continuing to work on the lower spine of Yoshioka,

08:29and you are going to credit that or two,

08:32that exposed turnbuckle in the corner of the house.

08:35And this house, fans, has strong, strong foundations.

08:42Foundations in a G1 Climax finalists this year for G135 and Evil.

08:48Strong foundations in the intelligence of men like Togo and Kanemaru.

08:51In fact, I'd argue, alongside Yudro Takahashi,

08:55these three men have been the true foundation

08:58out of a 12-person unit that is House of Torture.

09:00They are the stability, the brains, the intellect,

09:07and even the in-ring, whatever it is called for it,

09:10out of Togo and Kanemaru at least.

09:14There's a lot of intelligence out of Yudro as well, though,

09:16and you're seeing it here.

09:18Takahashi on the cover.

09:20Two count only.

09:30Tag mount made here.

09:33Blue corner, no blue pad, though,

09:34and that's going to be something to keep in mind

09:36as it is certainly plagued.

09:38Yuki Yoshioka, Dick Togo continuing to wear

09:41on the small of the spine right there.

09:44It is such a difficult thing to game plan for.

09:47You can say, yes, I know House of Torture's tactics.

09:50But how do you prevent House of Torture's tactics?

09:53Kushida, as intelligent as that man is,

09:55as intelligent as Yuki Yoshioka has,

09:59these men have not been able

10:01to prevent the tactics of the House

10:03from ailing them here.

10:07Now Kanemaru going to tag back into the ring.

10:13And a drop toe hold.

10:15Elbow drop right on the lower spine.

10:18Cover.

10:19Kushida yanking off Kanemaru here

10:22to try and break that one up.

10:25Yeah, good on Kushida

10:29for finding the tag rope there.

10:31She's teaching him to work

10:32with the hard cam next.

10:33Kanemaru now.

10:37Here we go.

10:39Knee right to the back of Yuki Yoshioka.

10:45Two points for Kanemaru in Togo.

10:48It was a victory over El Descrado in Kuka.

10:52Just yesterday.

10:53Just yesterday, indeed.

10:54Falling to Eagles and Kushida.

10:57Falling to Ishimori and Robbie X.

11:00And there are two teams left

11:01for Kanemaru and Togo to face.

11:03You're looking at one of them here.

11:04Dragging against Yuki Yoshioka.

11:06Holds on to that top rope.

11:07And it's gonna be the red corner.

11:08Come to Time Splitter.

11:17Oh.

11:17Kushida, Tanahashi, everyone on every side wants a tag, and it's going to be the red corner.

11:34Comes the time splitter.

11:42Huge back elbow there.

11:44And Dick Togo now inside, leapfrog over, drop down Kushida.

11:50Arm-drag, cartwheel, drop pick on the body.

12:03Kushida looking to take this one potentially all the way from the top.

12:07Kanemaru in no man's land right now.

12:09And the air space is cleared, only to be filled one more time.

12:19This man has split time.

12:21This man has set jets.

12:23He's gone intergalactic before.

12:25What can he do with Yoshioka?

12:27No, no.

12:28Hold on, Kushida.

12:30For all the places he's been, all the things he's done, he's going all around the world right now.

12:34Ketisato trying to keep up with it here.

12:38Yeah!

12:38Oh, cover, cover!

12:41No!

12:42How's that for finding your sea legs underneath you?

12:49Kushida and Kanemaru now.

12:51All over the ring here.

12:53Toga with a cheap shot.

12:54And a step up into Keri for the Heel Master.

12:59Straight right shot, every single man down, and we're looking for the tag.

13:08Here's the ace of the universe.

13:09Tag on both sides.

13:18Here's Tanahashi, here's Yudro.

13:20Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

13:23Yeah, four, go, go, go, go, go.

13:28And a forearm shot from the ace.

13:30Whoa!

13:35Soon it will be the swan song of Hiroshi Tanahashi's career, 68 days from tonight.

13:41Yes!

13:44And we have been following the journey every single tour,

13:47every single series.

13:50And in every single senton, cover Tanahashi again.

13:53Two.

13:57Oi, oi, oi, oi.

14:06No, no, no, I think Tanahashi wanted that sling play, but instead right to the eyes,

14:10right to the eyes, goes Yudro.

14:12Inverted DDT is gonna drop down the ace.

14:15Yudro Takahashi has found himself very, very successful over the course of this short

14:23series so far.

14:25And do keep in mind, Yudro, a Niigata native himself.

14:30We heard that back in Ua Nuba City.

14:32And we are not reminded too much of it here tonight in Sato Island.

14:37Oh, no.

14:38Oh, come on.

14:39Oh, come on.

14:40Kenta Sato, do your job here.

14:42Oh, Dick to Dick contact on the Ace of the Universe.

14:46Cover.

14:47Two.

14:48Well, Dick is far from presidential, but the Ace of the Universe is going to continue here

15:00tonight.

15:01And it might continue into a downfall if Yudro Takahashi gets his way.

15:06No, no, no.

15:07Tanahashi turns it, twist and shout.

15:10Oh.

15:11Oh.

15:12Oh.

15:31Oh, now Dick Togo, what's going on here, this is, Kanemaru has slid the cane that pimps

15:44Kane in the hands of Yudro inside the ring.

15:48Tanahashi has no idea what's coming.

15:50No.

15:51He saw it, he saw it in, and the sling blade knocked that pimps Kane loose.

15:59Hell, yeah.

16:02Tanahashi, drag and screw, drag and screw.

16:07Tata's the man who's big pimpin' tonight.
