01:15Way to the Grandmaster Master Watto!
01:21The Super Junior Tag League hopes for Master Watto and Yo-oh
01:25came all the way down to the very bitter end
01:28just a few days ago against Doki and Sho
01:30when they were last eliminated from Block A Competition
01:33I'm being joined at this time by Clark Connors
01:36Clark, welcome to the booth
01:37Hey, forget Afghanistan bro, you're on the moon today
01:40Oh, I'm feeling it
01:42Good job
01:58Well, Master Watto and Yo-oh
02:06did not manage to put down Doki and Sho in the Block A semi-final rather
02:12they certainly did manage to make it a whole hell of a lot further than these two men
02:16Horomo Takahashi and Gato
02:18a very interesting combination we saw this year
02:21Yeah, they have, man
02:22You can see the other side of Gato that we haven't seen in a long time
02:25and it's, if anything, it's really been fun to watch him enjoy himself roll back
02:28And for the first time since the kickoff to the series in Cork and Hall
02:43comes the way of the Rampage Dragon, Shingo Takagi
02:47and this is, well, certainly an unaffiliated and War Dogs combination
02:53the GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion, Horomo Takahashi
02:56bloody hands get him
02:58and the Rampage Dragon and Shingo
03:01we are going to be set for a final tag team match of the evening
03:04before we get into Block Competition
03:06Block B is soon to get underway, Clark
03:08Yeah, I'm excited to see how this thing plays out
03:11of course, I got a rooting interest in this thing
03:13watching the War Dogs come away with this
03:15bloody hands
03:17get on
03:23we are in GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion

03:44rampage dragon
03:45Takagi Shinn Go
03:48and Sato Kenta
03:50And we are set for six-man tag team competition here tonight.
04:04Wato, Yo, and Young Lion, Katsuya Morishima.
04:08Again, Shingo Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi, and Gero.
04:11You know, Clark, I know you competing yourself.
04:14You know, five straight matches in blockade competition.
04:16I know it was a very, very difficult tournament this year.
04:20But now, you know, the question kind of has to turn.
04:22Block A is done.
04:23Block B is going to be done just after today.
04:26You have to look a little bit ahead to how you're going to get to the Tokyo Dome.
04:29What does the road to the Tokyo Dome now look like for everyone that did not manage to make it to the Super Junior Finals?
04:35That's a great thing, man.
04:36The thing is, with this affiliated situation, you know, maybe there's options that the War Dogs are going to work together.
04:41There's other options in terms of title openings.
04:44You know, Doki still has got his title on him.
04:47And if there's a chance for me to get in that competition as well, I'd love to see it.
04:52I know that's going to be something that you're looking for in just our all six of these men.
04:55No direct path to the Tokyo Dome for any of them, junior heavyweight or otherwise, as it is.
05:02Shingo Takagi says, no, I think I'm going to stay right here, Ash.
05:05Well, this is going to be a lot of what we start to see, I imagine, coming up in the next few weeks.
05:14How do men like Shingo Takagi try to work within the wheelhouse and men like Gato and people that have seen, you know, opposite against one another for so long now having to come together?
05:25It feels weird to me, man.
05:27Being a part of so many battles against Shingo, being against Hiromu, watching out there and seeing them with pain and hate in my eyes.
05:34It feels weird, but at the same time, sometimes that's how it is, you know?
05:38People got new alliances.
05:39You can see even Shingo there getting them the action of some Gato Jawbreaker style.
05:43Yeah, I have a question for you, Clark.
05:44Is there something that feels a little bit refreshing knowing like, oh, you know, I don't have to worry over my back that Hiromu might be coming after me one day, Shingo coming after me one day?
05:52You're on the same side now.
05:53That's got to feel a little bit better.
05:54Yeah, you know, I mean, I've always said that they're a hell of a competitor, so having them kind of on the same team, it is really nice, especially when there's other teams out there like House of Torture, TNDK, Gato at Empire that we can do battle against now.
06:06So I'm excited for it.
06:09Yeah, well, it is.
06:10Gato fell to Master Watto and Yo back on Sato Island, and it was Watto and Yo that continued their undefeated streak on that night.
06:19Not going to be able to do so anymore, though.
06:21I hope Block A has done it over with, and sadly for everyone, Doki shows it right at the top.
06:26That's how it goes.
06:27Sometimes, like I said, they get it done.
06:29They're despicable, and the thing about them is it's effective.
06:34They win, you know.
06:35I was on the wrong side of that whole cheating scenario, but it is what it is, man.
06:40Someone's got to take them down, and hopefully it's just whoever wins Block B.
06:43Hopefully it's my war box.
06:44We're going to see that tonight in our main event and semi-main event to come.
06:48As Morishima even getting in on the Jawbreaker action.
06:52I don't think they teach the sit-out Jawbreaker in the Nogate Dojo.
06:55I don't think so, but he's got the body for it, man.
07:01Well, tag me in the red corner.
07:02We're going to bring Morishima back into it.
07:04You know, the Nogate Dojo is, I don't know if you've heard the rumors.
07:07I don't know if you've seen it, Clark, but it's getting full and full as time goes on.
07:10I mean, it's about time.
07:11It's almost two years since the debut of Morishima and Shomakato.
07:14So, it's about time that we start looking at potential excursions for the team.
07:18Yeah, no, I've watched them grow up since they're young lions.
07:20I've been beating the shit out of them ever since they stepped sitting around that ring.
07:24Oh, boy, what a shot.
07:26But at the same time, they're both really ready to go, I think.
07:30But the way that Morishima carries himself in the ring there, it feels like he's ready to do his excursion somewhere.
07:37I'll never forget, you talk about putting the hurt in on Morishima, that power struggle 2024, multi-man tag finish.
07:44Everyone hitting their favorite moves.
07:47Take your choice and hit it on the up right.
07:49Oh, man, that's a memory that I'm never going to forget.
07:52But I'm pretty sure he already did because he was concussed for about a week after.
07:55Well, yeah, that'll do it.
07:56Yeah.
07:58Come back in a big way, definitely.
08:00Come back out.
08:01And that shirt definitely not doing much to protect Gato tonight.
08:06Yeah, that's unfortunate for Gato.
08:09Cover here for Morishima.
08:11Kick out, Gato.
08:11Come on, baby.
08:12Two count only, and this one's going to roll right off.
08:16Gato's got to get that tag, man.
08:18And Romo and Chico are both ready to rock.
08:20And tag made in the corner, here comes Master Watto into the conversation.
08:33We saw a lot of frustration out of Master Watto in the middle of his final matchup with House of Torture, but not as much frustration after the fact, despite losing for Watto.
08:44So when you took the time to talk about how much they love Fukui Japan rather than, you know, feel the frustration of their wins and losses.
08:50Get the two of them together, they're a couple of ants talking to each other, you know, and they're just gabbling and giggling.
08:57So, so maybe they didn't take it seriously this year.
09:02And that's why, that's why they are where they are.
09:05Okay.
09:07Notice, and Gato and Hromo, who fared a little bit worse off in this year's tournament than Watto and Yoh did, certainly.
09:14But, we'll see what Gato can do here, turn things around.
09:18Oh!
09:19I didn't even realize that pad was missing.
09:21Yeah, Shingo Takagi's sneaky style over there, unloosened it up while they were all taking care of Gato.
09:26And now, Hromo, crossbody on crossbody, and Hromo's definitely one of the heavier Gino heavyweights, but Murashima, that's a bona fide heavyweight taken down to the crossbody again.
09:37No doubt, man, that's it.
09:38Hromo likes to wrestle that openweight style, so he's ready to go anywhere.
09:44Yeah, watch this.
09:45Oh, Hromo.
09:48Gato with the assist.
09:50A little extra weight there, not much, but just enough.
09:52Yeah, it's beautiful.
09:53Go-kun kekha.
09:54It is our final multi-man tag before we get in the Block B competition, or closing out the previews in a huge way right now, as we're on the road to Tanahashi's final homecoming in Gifu, just tomorrow o'clock.
10:07It's gonna be a big one, Walker.
10:10Already sold out in Gifu Memorial Center, as far as I've been aware of.
10:15Yeah, Hromo Takahashi may be looking to make an appearance on the card.
10:19The card not centered and finalized just yet, might be willing to earn a spot on Tanahashi's final homecoming.
10:28Let's watch it.
10:29Oh, tilt's a world backbreaker from Master Watto.
10:35Picture perfect.
10:36And Osaka native looking to pick up a win here tonight in his home prefecture.
10:40Wanted Recien Dementi, not gonna get it.
10:42Yeah!
10:43And, whoa, Hiromu driving down similar force.
10:47Beautiful.
10:48Come on!
10:49Come on!
10:49Come on!
10:50Come on!
10:50Come on!
10:51Come on!
10:51Come on!
10:52Come on!
10:53Come on!
10:53Hromo Takahashi wants that tag, and Osaka wants to see it, too.
10:58Yeah, well, right up the road, right down the road from Kobe where Shingo got his name for
11:03quite some time back in the Dragon Gate days.
11:05Let's see what Shingo Takahashi can do tonight in 2025.
11:08You know, a master of crowd control, a master of controlling his opponents.
11:19There is nothing that Takahashi can do.
11:21Yeah, that man, there's something special in the ring.
11:24Like you said, I'm glad I don't have to be on the opposite of all these pumping bombers.
11:27No!
11:27Oh, watch it.
11:29No!
11:31Popped up to Hannes there out of Watto.
11:34Great calendar by Watto.
11:38Oh, you gotta admire the guts here of this young lion.
11:40Katsuyo Morishima makes the tag, and we're back into it here.
11:44Guts, gumption, and full of gumbo coming in the ring.
11:47Yeah, full of something, certainly.
11:48Hey, Morishima, gotta do what he can to try and take down the Rampage Dragon.
11:53If Gabe Kidd couldn't do it back in Kobe, I have no idea what Morishima can do tonight.
11:58Hey, man, let's see how ready for this excursion he is.
12:03Oh, look at this.
12:05A double bowling ball technique.
12:07And a two-count only.
12:09Man, he's a lot heavier than wheel side, I'll tell you that much.
12:11Yeah, you're no kidding.
12:15Yeah, those sentons certainly working out for Morishima, but Shingo Takagi doing a great job of grounding himself here.
12:25Oh, wait a minute.
12:26Wait a minute.
12:26Morishima had Takagi on the shoulder.
12:29Oh, here we go, Morishima drive down.
12:35Oh, Rhino Stampede from Morishima.
12:41Cover.
12:42Two-count only.
12:43Okay, okay, okay.
12:45Move.
12:47Oh, it's all on Team Hontai right here, right now.
12:51And I know Morishima's going to want a Boston Crab sometime soon, but I don't think that's going to be a wise move against a veteran like Takagi.
12:58I don't think so.
12:59He's been in plenty in his life.
13:00He knows exactly how to get out.
13:04Got out before he even got in, really.
13:06Oh, Shingo.
13:07Whoa!
13:08Southpaw lariat.
13:09Gosh.
13:10Beheading Morishima tonight.
13:12Well, he's going to make it to an excursion after that.
13:16Well, certainly not.
13:17Takagi, vertical drop here on Morishima.
13:22Cover one more time, and broken up by Watto and Yoke.
13:26Dogs are on the floor, they're clearing house, baby.
13:31It's Gato's time tonight, too.
13:48Gato, Hiromu, Shingo, all the times in the line tonight to lead to this.
13:53Off the ropes.
13:54One of that pumping bomber.
13:55Oh, he gets him!
13:56He might get him, too.
13:57Oh, nice.
14:01Keep it going now.
14:03Morishima one more time.
14:06And explodes out.
14:07Whoa!
14:08Takagi stumped it.
14:09Oh!
14:11Pumping bomber!
14:15A shotgun just went off in Osaka's sub-level basement.
14:19And the war special here tonight from Shingo Takagi.
14:23W-A-R.
14:26And Takagi's got it locked in.
14:28Hell, everybody's got it locked in now.
14:30We're going to need the tap from the Young Lion, though, to put this one to bed.
14:33Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!
14:36Oh!
14:37Oh!
14:41Well, it's good for my team.
14:43I like that, but Morishima put up the hell of a nut for me.
14:45Well, that W-A-R special from Takagi, Keno, and Hiromu, that's going to lead to victory
14:58over Morishima here tonight.
14:59Victory over Hontai.
15:02And really, the question remains as to what the future looks like between the War Dogs,
15:08the Bullet Club, and the Autophilia, and Clark.
15:10I'm sure that you might even have some questions as to what this future looks like going forward
15:14here in New Japan between these two units together.
15:17I'm just as excited as everybody watching at home and all around the world, man.
15:21It's, uh, we got a big future ahead of us with this new unit.
15:36Victory tonight for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion,
15:39Horomo Takahashi, Gero, and Shingo Takagi.
15:53is
15:58a
16:10a
16:11a
16:11a
16:12a
16:16Well, victory here tonight for the Unabillion and the War Dogs, but what does the victory
16:27look like coming forward?
16:29On either side of the equation, we're going to get right into your final block beat night
16:33here.
16:34Tiger Bass and Yamato, zero wins on the board.
16:37Take on House of Tortures, Dick Togel and Yoshinobu Katamaru, and it's Tiger Bass' final
16:42Super Junior Tag League matchup of his career.
16:46Will he end it?
16:46With the victory.
