00:00Oh
00:30It is the Dragon Gate and Hauntai combination tonight.
01:00YAMATO, Tiger Mask, and Boltonolek.
01:10Boltonolek, 173cm, 83kg, Tiger Mask.
01:30It is very, very difficult to not have a match.
01:37It is very, very difficult to not have a match.
01:45It is very, very difficult to not look at every single unit in New Japan Pro Wrestling today, even those unaffiliated, without a name to a unit.
01:52And see that the absolute best of professional wrestling is right here in NJPW.
01:59And Kosei Fujin and Robbie Eagles personified that in junior heavyweight wrestling all across the world.
02:06And Kosei Fujin and Robbie Eagles personified that in junior heavyweight wrestling all across the world.
02:13Kosei Fujin and Robbie Eagles personified that in junior heavyweight wrestling all across the world.
02:20Kosei Fujin and Robbie Jackson.
02:27Kosei Fujin.
02:29Kosei Fujin.
02:30Kosei Fujin.
02:35Kosei Fujin.
02:39Best of the Super Junior 32.
02:42Robbie Eagles.
02:45And together your Super Junior Tag League 2025 winner.
02:512024 winners.
02:52Wow.
02:54I'm calling my shot early it seems.
02:56Robbie Eagles and Kosei Fujin.
03:00Hey, it must be in my head so much.
03:02Robbie Eagles has already proclaimed himself the 2025 Super Junior Tag League winner as well.
03:07And that just speaks to the confidence that goes throughout the TMDK ranks right now.
03:12It's a trickle down effect.
03:13I talked about it a little bit in the broadcast booth a number of days ago with Bullet Club War Dogs member Clark Connors.
03:19It always starts with the leadership in a unit.
03:22Man, there has never been a more confident unit in totality than TMDK in 2024 and 2025.
03:31But is that confidence starting to wean a little bit with Zack Sabre Jr.'s loss of the IWGP World title?
03:38Hey!
03:39Is it on Kosei Fujin and Robbie Eagles to be the clue that holds TMDK together in its entirety?
03:48These are the questions we have to ask going throughout the rest of this year's tournament looking to conclude on November 2nd.
03:54It is Kosei Fujin and Yamato standing toe-to-toe here tonight in a New Japan Pro Wrestling ring.
04:01And it is the match that we are set to see coming up 24 hours from now, our semi-main event.
04:08If Kosei Fujin and Robbie Eagles are victorious and get even a little bit of help coming up on tomorrow's event, they very well may be buying themselves into the final position coming up on November 2nd.
04:24All that is needed a loss for the Bullet Club War Dogs.
04:29That will be happening in our main event of Taiji Shimori and Robbie X versus El Desperado and Kukan.
04:35So there is a direct path straight to the top that can be sealed in as soon as tomorrow for one of these two teams.
04:42And it is soon to come here in Block B, Kosei Fujin and Robbie Eagles against Yamato and Tiger Man.
04:52You know, it's been really interesting to try and read the body language and even hear the post-match comments of Tiger Man's
05:00The Super Junior Tag League Tournament.
05:06And Fujin trying to outdo Yamato at his own game.
05:09Called his shot a little bit early there and Yamato, now they're coming to blows for him.
05:14Yamato!
05:15Yamato!
05:16Yamato!
05:17Yamato!
05:18Yamato!
05:19Yamato!
05:20Yamato!
05:21Yamato!
05:22Yamato!
05:23Yamato!
05:24Yamato!
05:25Yamato!
05:26Yamato!
05:27Yeah, Fujin is calling that shot again, let's see.
05:31No, Yamato right over the top here.
05:33One of the shots there in Fujin at a side headlock, takedown for Yamato, head and scissors, and back out.
05:38Tag made on both sides, and this is going to be a heavy subject of conversation tonight
06:00and heading into tomorrow.
06:03Former IWGP junior tag team champions alongside one another.
06:06It is Robbie Eagles and Tiger Mask.
06:13Very interested to see the feeling out process here between these two men.
06:18These two men, former junior tag team champions alongside one another.
06:21Robbie Eagles going on to do a lot of different things in his career post that.
06:26But now standing tall in TMDK and still being a figurehead,
06:29not only in junior heavyweight wrestling in Japan,
06:32but junior heavyweight wrestling all across the world.
06:33Here's Fujita, tag from behind.
06:35Tiger Mask didn't see it.
06:37Kick right to the gut, and there's that senton dropkick combination
06:40out of each of our sweet boys.
06:43There are no slowing these two men down tonight.
06:47Now Wishbone, big kicks.
06:50Whoa, and an even bigger one to Boltanola.
06:53And the confidence, the confidence that Fujita and Eagles can command this ring with.
06:59I mean, hardly Jackson's left with, well, not much to do tonight.
07:04There is no better paycheck in wrestling than riding the apron,
07:07and Robbie Eagles and Fujita going to allow Jackson to do that all night
07:10with the way that they have been commanding Tiger Mask, Yamato, and Boltanola.
07:15And look at this.
07:31This is a three-way combination here on Tiger Mask.
07:35It's a very interesting conversation to have about Tiger Mask,
07:39knowing what he has announced and not simply doing so quietly,
07:43his upcoming retirement from pro wrestling in the summer of 2026.
07:48This is more than likely the final Super Junior Tag League tournament,
07:51unless scheduling changes drastically in 2026 for Tiger Mask.
07:56Tiger Mask, and to know that Tiger Mask is already eliminated
08:00from his final Super Junior Tag League, he cannot afford to end a career.
08:05He cannot afford to end this tournament to end his career.
08:08On zero points, cover here for Jackson, and it's two.
08:15I think that has to be, if not the, one of the most driving factors for Tiger Mask.
08:23Big senton there for Robbie Eagles.
08:26Kosei Fujita as well, and like Papa, like son.
08:31Surfs up.
08:34Jackson rides the wave to Sato Island tonight.
08:37Come on, Jackson, come on, come on, come on, come on.
08:39The Eagles reminded Jackson to cover.
08:43Will we get him?
08:44Two count, Yamato breaks it up.
08:52Harley Jackson, one of the most powerful athletes.
08:55There's no shock about it.
08:56Every time you get to see the man inside the ring,
08:58and especially in comparison to the size differential of our junior heavyweights.
09:03Watch this now.
09:04Tiger Mask taking off the ropes.
09:07Tendidando combination.
09:08Voided out.
09:09Tiger Mask, one of that roundhouse.
09:11Kosei, oh, had the mask in the hand.
09:14That's going to lead him out advantageous for just a moment.
09:16Tiger Kick coming into play.
09:27For good measure as well.
09:28Robbie Eagles screaming in pain at that lower back.
09:32And everyone on every side needs to tag, but we're only finding one.
09:40Here's Yamato out of Dragon Gate.
09:44Not a lot of tag team success for Yamato in the Dragon Gate realms.
09:48However, a former Summer Adventure Tag League winner back in the year of 2009 alongside Shinko Takagi.
09:55It was the second ever tournament in Dragon Gate for that style.
10:01Yamato has held the Twin Gate titles before.
10:04Has competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling back in 2009.
10:07Super J-Cup bested the Super Junior both.
10:10Never before, though, a Super Junior Tag Tournament.
10:15And right on the back of the head, cover here, Yamato.
10:18Two only, says Robbie Eagles.
10:26It is the job of Yamato and Tiger Mask to prolong the standing in block.
10:31Oh, Yamato, though, only wants to prolong his moment.
10:41Certainly prolonging it from happening right now.
10:43The technique hasn't been down and set for Yamato yet.
10:48Yes, let's see what can be growing up here.
10:51Eagles back to the feet.
10:53And an insecurity thrust kick combo.
10:58And we're down in the standstill.
11:01Oh, and we pause away from Junior Heavyweight competition.
11:09And we take Junior out of the qualifier.
11:11Bolton Oleg and Hartley-Jackson and Sato Island.
11:17These two men almost tipped the whole damn boat over alongside myself.
11:22Making our way down to Sato this way.
11:26Hartley-Jackson and Bolton Oleg have been looking for this fight for a long time coming.
11:31And we're getting it here.
11:37Jackson stood through with good.
11:41Bolton Oleg, look at the fire.
11:43Had a big jack tonight.
11:45But you're not going to easily lift up a man the size of Bolton Oleg for that Death Valley driver, that jagged edge.
11:51And there's an edge for Jackson to ride tonight.
11:58Oh, no, no.
11:59It can't be.
12:00Not on a man the size of Hartley Jackson.
12:01Bolton Oleg is a...
12:02Well, that's a gutsy individual we're talking about.
12:06Former Never Openweight champion wants to get back to that status at some point soon.
12:10Jackson calls for it.
12:14Jackson number one.
12:16Jackson put down potentially for three.
12:20Bolton.
12:27Watch it.
12:27Watch it.
12:28Watch it.
12:28Oleg.
12:29Oleg.
12:29Toffles the big man.
12:35Jackson down and off.
12:37And here it is.
12:39The People's Bolton.
12:41Cover.
12:43Broken up by Robbie Eagles.
12:47There's a lot of people that appreciate that sweet stash on Robbie Eagles.
12:50Because I don't think Bolton Oleg has won for it.
12:54That's an Aussie staple.
12:55Not a classic one.
12:58Oh, and Kosei Fujita now back inside the ring for it.
13:02Popped up.
13:03Oh, wait a minute.
13:04Wait a minute.
13:06A little bit of Butterfingers here for Bolton Oleg.
13:09But that grip is nice and tight now.
13:16And a suplex from Hartley Jackson.
13:20Oh, and Kosei Fujita now.
13:2410 minutes past.
13:2510 minutes past.
13:28Jackson now wants that jagged edge on Bolton Oleg.
13:32Lifted up almost with ease.
13:35Now Tiger Mets back inside the ring.
13:36Yamato as well.
13:38Both men turn it around here.
13:40Watch this.
13:44Well, Yamato calling a play here.
13:47Oh, but that play has been pulled from the book.
13:50Courtesy of Hartley Jackson.
14:02Watch it.
14:02Jackson off the ropes.
14:04Jackson number one.
14:05What could be down here.
14:10One of one blows.
14:11Bolton Oleg.
14:12Look at the deadlift on Jackson.
14:14Holy hell.
14:20It's a Bolton shake.
14:24Rings throughout Sato Island.
14:31Bolton has Hartley Jackson on the shoulders.
14:34It is Kamikaze.
14:36It's over.
14:4511分 4秒.
14:46Bolton Oleg.
14:47It's over.
14:48It's over.
14:49It's over.
14:50It's over.
14:51It's over.
14:52It's over.
15:11It's over.
15:11It's over.
15:12Victory here tonight goes to Hontai, victory here tonight goes to Bolton Oleg, but Tiger
15:30Mask and Yamato, for all that it has worked, have not earned many victories. In fact, zero in totality over this league. Does the buck turn around when Tiger Mask and Yamato battle your top point scorers in Block B? Coming up, Kosei Puchin and Robbie Eagles, six points on the board. Tiger Mask and Yamato, zero down and out with nothing. Can they walk away with some pointage?
16:00By the end, we're going to find out, get to Puchin about 24 hours from now.
16:18We are going to go and go, and that Tiger's going to go all the way to Puchin for Block B competition. Coming up 24 hours from now, we're going to move right on in to your final preview tag team match of the evening.
16:30The Ace of the Universe competes in Sato Island for the first time and for the last time.
