00:00Hello, wrestling fans. My name is Walker Stewart alongside the Prince, Callum Newman.
00:08It is time for Super Junior Tag League 2025 Night 7 in Fukui Industrial Hall.
00:15Yoroshiku, here we go.
00:19Yoroshiku, here we go.
00:26Kicking off in a big way here tonight. Young Lion Tag Team action on the card.
00:30Matsumoto Tatsuya!
00:34Two men who debuted just within this last calendar year.
00:38Back in the New Japan Soul Series opposite one another tonight in Tag Team Partners calendar.
00:43Yeah, look like they're good friends. Come out, do a little fist bump. It's cute.
00:49Oh, Young Lion Massa Toriasada and far from a Young Lion in 2025, the former Never Openweight Champion,
01:15Bolton Oleg, it's ringside tonight.
01:18Back corner, 175cm, 88kg.
01:22Yasuda Masato!
01:26187cm, 120kg.
01:29First, Bolton Olegko!
01:35We are set for a night of Tag Team competition all the way up and down the card, including, Callum, your top three matches of the evening, all Block A competition, our final League A night for Super Junior Tag League.
01:48Oh, I didn't know that.
01:50What the hell are you doing here, Callum? We're in Fukui. I know you were on the card just the other day and you got it. And here we are today. And I'm walking through the locker rooms and I see you.
02:00I'm chilling, mate. I was just here to hang out. I was supposed to go back to Tokyo, but then, yeah, Mr. Shinkansen, here I am.
02:08Well, it happens to the best of us.
02:10It does. Right then. Here we go.
02:12All right. Bell sounds. One fall, 20-minute time limit. Tatsuya Matsumoto and Masa Toriasada were back here in Fukui for the first time since Wrestling Zantaku 2024, the road to, of course.
02:23And we are here for the final League night, Super Junior Tag League 2025 for Block A. Tatsuya Matsumoto had his shoulders down for only two as it's Masa Toriasada, the senior of these two Young Lions here tonight, the senior-most Young Lion that is in the ring right now at the very least.
02:41And, of course, his tag team partner, former Never Openweight Champion, we're mixing it up with Bolton Oleg just the other day, Callum.
02:47Yeah, I hate it every second.
02:48Yeah, I don't exactly blame you for it.
02:50It's like trying to kick a brick wall.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Man. Masa Toriasada and Tatsuya Matsumoto, you start to really see the way that some of these Young Lions gel together or really gel against one another in a big, big way.
03:06We're going to see how Zane J and Bolton Oleg, two foreigners here in Japan.
03:10Oh, he's brave.
03:11Yeah, I like it.
03:12God.
03:13Yeah, Zane J is definitely one who has been trying to bring the most of a challenge to himself out of a lot of our Young Lions.
03:21The only foreign Young Lion in the Nogue Dojo, at least by my knowledge at this point in time.
03:26Certainly the only Young Lion international outside of Japan, outside of the NJW Academy.
03:34And it is Bolton Oleg who is going to continue to try and put the work in on Zane J.
03:42Callum, can you give me your impression of Zane?
03:44I know you might have had a few conversations with him in the locker room.
03:47You're seeing his work here tonight.
03:48I can't do an American accent.
03:49No, not, not.
03:50Okay.
03:51Impression going a long way here.
03:53But, you know, your first thoughts.
03:55He works hard.
03:57He definitely, he works so hard.
04:00And I feel like out of all the Young Lions, this crop of Young Lions, he's the one that brings the most out of the others.
04:07Mmm.
04:08Especially being the only foreigner, I feel like he's got a chip on his shoulder to prove that he belongs in the Dojo around all the other guys.
04:15I know you yourself have never exactly gone through the Noge Dojo system.
04:19You had a very different entrance into New Japan.
04:21But I know you held some residency in the Noge Dojo for some time.
04:24So you've been able to sit in on some of these training sessions.
04:26You know what it's like.
04:27I did a little bit with them.
04:29And I done the squats.
04:31Osprey brought me to Japan and he put me straight in the Dojo.
04:35And the training, it's the hardest training I've ever done in my life.
04:39It's every day of squats, running, pull-ups, bench press, sprint drills, and that's all in an hour.
04:48These guys do everything.
04:50And it's all training their heart.
04:52It's training if they want to quit.
04:54They want to see if they want to give up.
04:57It's not just about training the physical, but the mental as well.
05:01It's all about preparing you for battle.
05:03And nothing is going to test your battle like Bolton Oleg, man.
05:07It was hard to believe that anyone could dethrone Bolton Oleg from his Never Openweight Championship reign.
05:14And it took, well, a whole clown car of House of Torture to be able to do so back in Ryogoku.
05:18Always does.
05:19But didn't Tanahashi say he was going to stop all that stuff?
05:23Yeah, well.
05:24Ain't done nothing.
05:25Yeah, it hasn't worked out too well yet.
05:26The game's gone.
05:30Masa Toriyasada now.
05:32Go on, chop him properly.
05:33Zane J.
05:34Oh.
05:35The thing is it's old Yasuda.
05:37I don't think he's that confident behind his wrestling.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Everything he does, he needs to put a bit more room behind it.
05:44Oh, there we go.
05:45Yeah, more confidence on that one.
05:47Tehenis take down there.
05:48And a drop kick there from Yasuda.
05:51Taked left knee at all.
05:53Cover here on Zane J to find the love.
05:55And it's two only.
05:56You know, there are far few more things embarrassing as a young lion to have a new class come underneath you and surpass you.
06:09It is a difficult thing for any generation of professional.
06:11Yeah.
06:12So they can't afford to fall to Zane J or Tatsuya Matsumoto tonight for that reason.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Yeah.
06:20Yeah.
06:21Whoa.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Yeah.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Yeah.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Yeah.
06:31Yeah.
06:32Yeah.
06:33Yeah.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Yeah.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Yeah.
06:40The main event still to come.
06:42The only two teams left alive in Block A.
06:43Eight points to eight points.
06:45Former Junior Tag Team Champions Watto and Yeo take on the current Junior Tag Team Champions.
06:49Dungeon Show, the winner of that main event that we're getting to.
06:52Oh, man!
06:57Yeah, that's not nice to take.
06:59The winner of our main event tonight, set for the super junior tag league final, but I don't think St. J is thinking
07:05about anything other than what just hit him.
07:07You know, going through the no gay dojo,
07:19being a young lion cover here for Bolton, two count only.
07:24The shaving of your head, it's almost a humiliation ritual.
07:28Yeah.
07:29Bolton Oleg, I mean, humiliating Saint Jay with some of these shots.
07:34Talk about what, testing your mental, testing your spirit.
07:38Bolton Oleg's gonna do that in a big way, watch out here.
07:41Yes, one of that splash, not gonna find it, Saint Jay right out of the way.
07:47Whoa, straight to the face.
07:49Not yet.
07:50Watch it here.
07:52Check his second dropkick.
07:55Takes down Bolton Oleg, and that is gonna clear the path to the blue corner,
07:59and it's gonna pain him to do it, but he's gotta make the tag.
08:02And here comes Matsumoto.
08:05Wait.
08:10No, no, no, Oleg.
08:12What?
08:15Matsumoto off the ropes again, and still Oleg yet to fall.
08:21Gonna take a little bit more than, whoa!
08:24How about this, Kyle?
08:25There we go.
08:27Volton Oleg, an incredible amateur athlete of his own right in the wrestling circle, but
08:32Matsumoto here, has that knee bar completely locked in as close to possible.
08:37Volton Oleg's gotta get to the bottom rope, which he does.
08:40Whoa!
08:41Put him back on that knee.
08:43Whoa!
08:44Whoa!
08:45Whoa!
08:46There's...
08:47Go back to the leg.
08:49That's a great call right there, a more seasoned athlete.
08:54Other than Matsumoto might go to that knee.
08:56We're not gonna see it though.
08:57Oleg capturing the young lion.
08:59There you go, he's gone.
09:00Right, see you later, mate.
09:01Yeah, you've been in this position before.
09:02Oh, it's not fun.
09:03There's nothing you can do.
09:07And the bolt in shape, rattling Fukui tonight.
09:17And Oleg now has Matsumoto on the shoulders, wants that kamikaze.
09:21Here comes St. Jay to try and intercept.
09:26And Jay and Matsumoto, let's see what these two can do alongside one another.
09:31Oh, that's not gonna work out.
09:33Beautiful drop kicks.
09:37Double drop kick from the double young lion.
09:40And now...
09:41Go on.
09:42That is a difficult task for anyone, but Matsumoto trying to wheel over.
09:47There he is, Bolton Oleg, Boston Crab locked in.
09:50Oh, my God.
09:52Oh, my God.
09:53Oh, my God.
09:54Oh, my God.
09:55Oh, my God.
09:56Oh, my God.
09:57Oh, my God.
09:58Oh, my God.
09:59Oh, my God.
10:00No, Matsumoto dragged to the center of the ring at Boston Crab.
10:03This will be the biggest win of young lion Matsumoto's career.
10:07No, no, no, no.
10:08It's not as far as he wants it, though.
10:10No, not at all.
10:11I feel like if you do that against the young lion, their backs are a lot more flexible,
10:16and they're a lot more smaller than Oleg.
10:18I think everyone's a lot smaller than Oleg.
10:20Oh, certainly so.
10:22Matsumoto off the ropes here.
10:24Oleg, though.
10:25Oh, my God.
10:26Oh, my God.
10:27Good Lord.
10:29Oh, my God.
10:33That was one of the scariest sheer drops we've seen in some time.
10:38And now it's the humbling of Tatsuya Matsumoto tonight.
10:42Live in front of the Fukui faithful.
10:45And that's gonna be it.
10:46Yeah.
10:47There's nothing else you can do.
10:49Oh, my.
10:50Humbling of Tatsuya Matsumoto.
10:52Wow.
10:57Matsumoto just saw his life flash before his eyes fell three times right now.
11:01Oh, baby.
11:03Threw him up, checked the time, tapped him out.
11:06It's so weird.
11:07See you later.
11:08Off to Osaka.
11:12Today's fight is 33 seconds.
11:14Yasuda Masatura and Oleg.
11:17The victory here tonight goes the way of young lion Yasuda and Bolton Oleg.
11:23We're gonna see if Bolton Oleg or even Yasuda or really anyone at all
11:27can carve themselves a path to the Tokyo Dome.
11:29Not much has been confirmed that way.
11:31Oh, good Lord have mercy.
11:33We have a lot of action to get underway with here tonight.
11:36A lot of preview tag team action on our way to Osaka for the final Lock B night
11:42for Super Junior Tag League 2025.
11:44We're gonna break down all the action that has led us to this point tonight.
11:47Night 7 in Fukui.
11:48Plus our main event.
11:49Still the cup.
11:50Master Watonyo at eight points.
11:52Doki and Sho at eight points.
11:54The winner is through the Super Junior Tag League 2025.
11:57We thank you for joining us tonight on NJPW World.
