00:003, 2, 1
00:30Well, as always, on what has already been a wonderful night,
00:59a professional wrestling action, there is always going to be a matchup that reminds you of the evils that are within the world of professional wrestling, evils that lurk within the world itself, and there are far fewer evil than Yujiro Takahashi, Doki, and Sho.
01:20The Tokyo Pimps, Takashi Yujiro!
01:27The Tokyo Pimps, Takashi Yujiro!
01:32Interruption for Yujiro Takahashi, and he got a native.
01:36And a double champion, junior heavyweight singles in tag team, Doki.
01:43And a double champion, junior heavyweight singles in tag team, Doki.
01:50And a double champion, junior heavyweight singles in tag team, Doki.
01:57And a double champion, junior heavyweight singles in tag team, Doki.
02:04Eight points on the board, tied amongst first place in block A.
02:121, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1.
02:31Go!
02:34The two men who closed out our live event 24 hours ago on Zato Island, Master Watt's Owen Yeo
02:58putting up two more points on the board to complete to eight.
03:02And now to lead all the way undefeated in against Zoki and Sho, 24 hours from now.
03:09And meanwhile, we continue 66 days away from the end of the ace in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
03:16Now, the champion of the city of the U.S.
03:20The champion of the U.S.
03:25The champion of the U.S.
03:26Way to the Grand Master, Master Watt!
03:31There are some men in the sport of professional wrestling, there have been some women in professional
03:58wrestling as well, who have said, I am going to call it quits, I am going to end my career,
04:05I am going to retire and head into the sun.
04:09And there are some who say, I will limit my dates, I will make them special attractions,
04:14and there are others who will give everything, anything and all to the people everywhere
04:20we go.
04:22Tanahashi features himself to be the latter.
04:25And it has been so impressive.
04:28Oh, come on.
04:29I'm going to be the only one in New York City.
04:32I'm going to be the only one in three matches.
04:41I'm going to be the only one in New York City.
04:44Who's the only one in New York City?
04:47Get your responsibility!
04:48I'm not going to lie to you.
04:54I'm not going to lie to you in New York.
04:59I'm not going to lie to you before you leave.
05:02Hey, what?
05:04Hey, you guys, you guys, you guys, have a lot of responsibility.
05:08Take care of yourself, you guys, too.
05:14I'm not going to lie to you before you leave.
05:16I believe Yo was trying to finish the sentence of show here.
05:32And this is an ongoing saga here.
05:35Multiple times Super Junior Tag League winners themselves alongside one another,
05:41Show and Yo.
05:42We're going to follow this one all across Sun Village Jabada if we have to
05:44before we get to the bottom of it.
05:47It is our final preview tag team matchup of the evening.
05:50That pits House of Torture against Huntai.
05:53And coming up 24 hours from now, our main event to come, Master Watto and Yo
05:58take on the Junior Tag Team Champions of Doki and Show.
06:01And it's two on two on the evening.
06:03We're going to stick around for as close as we can get to live English translation
06:10courtesy of NJPW Global from that statement from the show.
06:13But I can guarantee it was nothing nice about Hiroshi Tanahashi.
06:17It certainly wasn't nice about Yo and Watto.
06:19And it definitely could not have been nice about Niigata either.
06:21Or maybe Yujiro talked a little bit of sense in the show tonight.
06:27I'm not certain.
06:28Speaking of sense, Yujiro has had it knocked out of him for quite some time.
06:32Let's see what Takahashi.
06:33Oh!
06:34Might have knocked out what little was left.
06:36It is Master Watto that closed out with post-match comments yesterday.
06:50Two more points put on the board.
06:52Recientemente could be inbound.
06:54You got to keep your eye on this one.
06:56As it has been a long and storied history between Master Watto and Doki, Yo and Show.
07:01There are lines to be crossed all the way up and down this match,
07:04no matter how you look at it.
07:07As Watto won at the roundhouse, Doki fought out from underneath it.
07:13And oh, come on!
07:16Well, these are the continued tricks of the trade here.
07:19Sho and Doki, while exposing that turnbuckle pad and Yo in a world of pain.
07:24Those are metal hooks that hold our ring together that have been spiked into the spine of Yo.
07:30Oh, and even worse on the back of the Ace.
07:34Hiroshi Tanahashi certainly not feeling too good after a shot like that.
07:41And House of Torture are going to continue to do what they have known to be done best.
07:46That is, dissect any and all opposition, albeit not with pure technique in mind.
07:51Oh, and I hate to see it, and I hate to mention it, but just at the center side of your screen right there,
07:59that steel bar, that lead pipe, rather, Doki has used to win the junior heavyweight titles,
08:06win the junior heavyweight tag team titles, steal those championships away from Master Watto and Yo, of all people,
08:11back in Dominion when Doki made his return to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
08:16One, two, three, four, five, six.
08:24You've got to get your legal men back inside here, and it's going to be Watto who,
08:29well, comes in on his lonesome as Doki was already inside.
08:32And, you know, Doki taking a page out of the book of one Don Fale right now.
08:37I'm not too, not too certain what has gotten to Doki over the years.
08:41And even still, Doki has explained his machinations.
08:48Doki has explained his reasoning why, how the hell could just five guys, just four guys,
08:53just how many guys join Hontai without ever even considering my input on the conversation.
08:59It has turned the once warm heart of Doki, a man that we were supporting heavily heading into the Tokyo Dome this year,
09:04for the IWGP Junior title against Del Desperado.
09:08It has turned that heart back to the cold.
09:10Japones del mal.
09:12That Doki first was introduced to New Japan Pro Wrestling fans' ass.
09:16And, thus, the return of that lead pipe, the return of that black mirror,
09:22but will it be the most successful that we have seen Doki?
09:26I'd argue it already is.
09:28Double champion dominating the junior division.
09:30Udrow, a former junior tag team champion in his own right.
09:34Let's see what he can continue to do here.
09:36On show, just talking trash to Yeo.
09:40This is a continued saga over the course of Super Junior Tag Leagues,
09:54over the course of pretty much every single series that these two have an interaction at.
09:59Tanahashi getting Watto mania, rocking and rolling here in Sunville and Shibata.
10:09Watch Sho now. Takes Watto down to the knee.
10:15Kicks off both sides.
10:17Oh, Sho though, had it caught there by Watto.
10:19Watch out for a minute.
10:21Oh, right back to the eye. Come on.
10:22Watto, one of that suits in Kalku German suplex show off the ropes,
10:29and a single leg drop kick is going to find the mark.
10:31Oh, world of pain right now for Master Watto.
10:38That's a great point to bring up wrestling fans.
10:40That right knee of Watto certainly put through the ringer by Kanemaru and Togo just yesterday.
10:45Just a few days ago rather, as it is, Yeo drop kick, drop kick, and intercepted by Sho.
10:54One more time, Yeo masterclass for that drop kick.
10:59Feeling himself here tonight in Sun Village, Shibata.
11:10Watch Yeo now, single under the hook. There's that suplex, the drive, the cover, two count only on show.
11:19These two men know each other so, so well, and it all goes without saying.
11:24Yeo is a four-time Super Junior Tag Team Tournament winner,
11:28and three of those tournaments were alongside Yeo.
11:31Roppongi 3K lives on in our hearts.
11:34Well, it certainly has marred the memories in mind of Yeo for some time.
11:40It's never quite been the same.
11:42I'd argue Yeo is never going to be the same.
11:44I don't know if Yeo was ever normal to begin with.
11:51Off the ropes for Sho and a spear.
11:53Well, it was a tokimeki spear from Sho, a spear through the heart of Yeo,
12:06and Yujiro Takahashi is gonna continue this ride tonight.
12:09Yeo, and it's classic, listen.
12:14Yeo.
12:18Yeo, Yeo, Yeo, Yeo, Yeo, Yeo, Yeo, Yeo, Yeo, Yeo.
12:27And He got a big fans of their hometown, seems to be a hero tonight.
12:33In utero.
12:36Well, you could be a big fan of Yujiro Takahashi, but there are many bigger for the Ace of the Universe.
12:43Watch this now. Tana, forearm shot to Yujiro.
12:49Looking a clean house as well. Doki and Sho taking off the apron.
13:06Tanahashi now scooping a slam here.
13:11Looking to put a big exclamation mark on this one.
13:14Sentai rolling through, cover.
13:19Two count only.
13:21Tanahashi! Tanahashi! Tanahashi! Tanahashi! Tanahashi!
13:29The Ace of the Universe riding high and alive and well currently.
13:33Oh, but wait a minute. Kenta Sato, I don't think too well at all.
13:36Doki, that lead pipe and it's an inverted DDT from Yujiro Takahashi that changes the conversation.
13:43And once again, just like that in a matter of seconds, House of Torture is so good at putting all the pieces into play at the same time.
13:51And now they're going to run the train through Tanahashi. Here comes Sho.
13:56And it is a short train tonight.
14:00What? What is...
14:03Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, we got to do...
14:05Oh, come on.
14:06Kenta Sato is trying to dispose of that title.
14:09Meanwhile, cover here for Yujiro again.
14:12And broke it up one more time.
14:15Yujiro!
14:17Yujiro!
14:18Yujiro!
14:19Yujiro!
14:20Yujiro!
14:23Yujiro!
14:24Yujiro!
14:25Yujiro!
14:26Yujiro!
14:28Yujiro!
14:29Yujiro!
14:30Yujiro!
14:32Driving down Tanahashi.
14:33This could be it.
14:35Two count once more.
14:38Oh man, oh my, Hiroshi Tanahashi, there was a hard, hard spike landing.
14:51And it might be even harder here, that Tokyo pipscane ripped away by Yoh.
14:56Wait a minute, wait a minute.
15:02Well, this is dangerous for the house.
15:05But we're gonna tear the walls down tonight in Shibata.
15:08And it's Yoh who wants to wipe out House of Torture heading into tomorrow.
15:25Sling blade from the ace.
15:31Tanahashi, looking to put an end to this one.
15:37Didn't work out to him in Sato.
15:38Let's see what it does here, what it does tonight.
15:42High, fly, fly, it's up.
15:47Good morning, everyone.
15:52Great yeah.
16:05Well, meanwhile, Master Watou and Yo have been a little busy tying up loose ends, but
16:27the ends are getting looser for Yo, Watou, Sho and Doki, all respects given.
16:32Block A vs. Block B.
17:02It has been a wonderful night of action so far.
17:04The Ace of the Universe, Master Watou and Yo all victorious.
17:06I'll be right back.
17:08You know, you know, I'll be right back.
17:10I'm doing it right.
17:12I'm doing it right.
17:14I'm doing it right.
17:16Wrestling fans, it has been a wonderful night of action so far.
17:28The Ace of the Universe, Master Watoneo, all victorious.
17:33But what could be considered your Block A final,
17:37the semifinal to all of Super Junior Tag League comes up.
17:42Two points on the line.
17:44The final spot will be decided when Yo and Master Watoneo
17:48take on the IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions of Doki and Jo.
18:03And we continue to count the days.
18:0766 down and on until we say goodbye to the Ace of the Universe, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
18:16We're going to move right in to your first of three, your top three on the evening.
