00:11And it is time for Young Wyatt Tag Team Competition.
00:15Zane J and Masa Toriyazada taking their way down to ringside here tonight.
00:20It is a beautiful day in Osaka.
00:22It's a great day for professional wrestling as well.
00:24Zane J!
00:29Young Lions, Zane J and Tatsuya Matsumoto, rather.
00:36I'm misreading my notes, folks. We're only minutes in to our broadcast here tonight.
00:40Night 8, November 1st, we will be seeing Masa Toriyazada come just down ramp side, suited up.
00:46As it is two Young Lions debuting opposite one another in Tatsuya Matsumoto and Zane J
00:52who are tag team partners here on the evening.
00:55As we get straight into tag team competition here.
00:57175cm 88kg, Yasuda Masa Toriyazada!
01:04173cm 95kg,
01:08Osakafu Izubishi, Kato Shoma!
01:16The senior most Young Lion in this entire affair.
01:19Young Lion Shoma Kato has hit the ring alongside Masa Toriyazada here tonight.
01:23I think you see the lovely Haruo Morata and Milano Collection AT.
01:26Yoroshiko Onagashimasa to those two men.
01:28And Yoroshiko Onagashimasa to all who are watching at home here tonight.
01:32As we are live in Etienne Arena Osaka number 2.
01:35And it's going to be an incredible night of action.
01:38Our main event soon to come.
01:40You are not going to want to miss it.
01:41You are not going to want to miss it.
01:42It is Rabi on Rabi Violence.
01:43It is Ichiman Sweet Boys.
01:44Rabi Eagles and Kosei Fujita versus the Bullet Club War Dogs of Rabi X.
01:49And Taiji Ishimori.
01:51And I love getting into Young Lion competition here tonight.
01:54Just the way only New Japan Pro Wrestling can.
01:56Come on, come on.
01:58Come on.
01:59Jeffrey Sakamoto to get things on the way here tonight.
02:01One fall 20 minutes out of the limit with our Young Lions is standing room only for all of us in attendance here tonight.
02:08Myself included.
02:09It is an incredible day to be alive or night of Super Junior Tag League this year.
02:14And what a Super Junior Tag League it has been.
02:16An incredible burst of action all the way up and down every single side of this beautiful country.
02:22All the way into even off the mainland of Japan, Asado Island just a few nights ago as well.
02:26Well, we've made our way out of Niigata Prefecture now for what was three straight nights in a row essentially.
02:31And now have made our way all the way down to Osaka.
02:35We are going to be ending our tour coming up in Gifu.
02:37That's 24 hours from now.
02:39The final Super Junior Tag League 2025 to take place at Hiroshi Tanahashi's final homecoming event.
02:45Come on.
02:46Come on.
02:47Come on.
02:48Come on.
02:49Come on.
02:50Come on.
02:51Come on.
02:52Come on.
02:53Come on.
02:54And while we are certainly here to talk about Super Junior Tag League all the way up and down the card,
02:56we have to highlight our young lions just as much as we have to highlight the other heavyweight action that is set to come on the other side of our card for November 2nd,
03:0524 hours from now at Tanahashi's final homecoming event.
03:09That being the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship Online, potentially the final opportunity for IWGP Gold for one Ace of the Universe, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
03:18I cannot wait to see what happens when Hiroshi Tanahashi battles newly crowned champion back in Ryogoku, Yota Tsuji.
03:26And that is certainly going to be a G1 Climax 35 rematch to keep your eyes on.
03:31Not to mention, of course, a G1 Climax 34 rematch available for free to view right now on YouTube.com, courtesy of NJPW World.
03:39That being Kanosuke Takeshita in his first defense of the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship coming up against former World Heavyweight Champion Hiroki Goto.
03:47That's to come in Gifu just the same, 24 hours from tomorrow.
03:53And it is Zane J and Shimakato in every single one of these young lions as the No Gate Dojo continues to grow more full and full as time goes on,
04:01who really want to paint themselves and aim here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
04:05Especially, oh, we're getting into highlighting the heavyweights again.
04:08Zane J here with the hook of the leg and a kick out at two.
04:13And that's going to be two only on Young Lion Shomakato tonight.
04:19Zane J, a few bit years younger when it comes to seniority, at least in the No Gate Dojo.
04:26Has a wealth of experience, though, outside at least as much wealth of a Young Lion could possibly have before entering the No Gate Dojo.
04:34That's courtesy of Kushida, the DKC, Rocky Romero, Fred Rosser out of the NJPW Academy.
04:40And now, well, Matsuboto certainly has not had that NJPW Academy training.
04:45Hip toss here and the cover finds two tonight for Young Lion and Matsuboto.
04:51And Matsuboto here, I mean, has been incredibly impressive all the way up and down all of these cards,
05:00but really our opener as far as Young Lions have been such great proving ground matches to borrow the term from good friends over at Ring of Honor.
05:08As, yeah, look at this, Tatsu Matsuboto, you talk about the proving ground, you talk about the battleground,
05:13and Matsuboto in every single way, you know, doing everything that he can to try and show out and showcase here tonight.
05:25As Matsuboto, that two-legged crab, locked in right here.
05:28Hey, hey, come on one more time, one more time, one more time.
05:32Give me, give me, give me, give me.
05:38And Matsuboto here tonight, yeah, that's gonna be the tag made right here,
05:41and it is Young Lion Zane Chain back into control.
05:45They finally brought me a chair over here to the balcony,
05:55so no longer in the sumo seats here tonight.
05:57God bless America.
05:58Zane Jay, let's get right back into it here.
06:03Shoma Kato now and Zane Jay doing everything in their power
06:09to try and battle back from one another.
06:11Kato has really been developing some real fiery chops
06:14for a young lion of certain.
06:19And let's see what Zane Jay is able to do right here, right now.
06:26Bam! Look at that!
06:28And Yasuda making the tag in and on into the ring.
06:44Going to do everything that he can to try and flatten down his junior in the no gate dojo,
06:50that being Zane Jay.
06:51Cover here and a two count only for Masatoru Asura.
06:55Five minutes, five minutes past.
06:57Five minutes.
06:58Five minutes.
06:59Five minutes.
07:00Five minutes.
07:01Five minutes.
07:02Oh!
07:03Oh!
07:04Oh!
07:05Oh!
07:06Oh!
07:07Oh!
07:08Oh!
07:09Oh!
07:10Oh!
07:11Yeah!
07:12Cover here for Masatoru Asura.
07:14Two count only.
07:15Yeah!
07:16Yeah!
07:17Yeah!
07:18Yeah!
07:19Yeah!
07:20Yeah!
07:21Yeah!
07:22Yeah!
07:23Yeah!
07:24Yeah!
07:25Yeah!
07:26Yeah!
07:27Yeah!
07:28And watch this now.
07:29Zane Jay picking the leg here.
07:30And two count one more time for our young lions.
07:33Still to come.
07:34Our main event, by the way.
07:35You're not going to want to miss a moment.
07:36Ichiban Sweet Boys.
07:37Robbie X and Kosei Fujita.
07:39Robbie Eagles and Kosei Fujita.
07:41Wow.
07:42We'll see how many times we mess that up today.
07:43Take on the Bullet Club War Dogs team of Robbie X.
07:47And Taiji Ishimori.
07:48Zane Jay with a drop kick.
07:49Takes Yasuda down.
07:51And there is a beeline to the blue corner.
07:53Straight and away to come.
07:57As Jay and Yasuda, every single side, want the tag, roll through.
08:01Matsumoto and Kato.
08:02Tags in the blue and red corner.
08:04And we are back into it here.
08:10And Kato now, yeah, watch this.
08:12Underneath.
08:13And a shoulder tackle.
08:15Drives right through Masa Toriasa one more time.
08:24Whoa!
08:26Did you hear how that reacted throughout Osaka tonight?
08:30Whoa!
08:43Two-count over.
08:46Whoa!
08:48Whoa!
08:49Oh!
08:50Whoa!
08:51Whoa!
08:52Whoa!
08:53Whoa!
08:54Whoa!
08:55Whoa!
08:57Whoa!
08:58Watch Patsumoto now, forearm shot takes down Shoma Kato one more time.
09:05Kato, the Young Lion Brigade is getting more full and full as time rolls on.
09:14And it's about time for some bodies to exit out of the no-gates Ojo and head on excursion.
09:19I think Kato has to be a top contender.
09:22Speaking of such, there's been a lot of talk from Kato himself
09:26about potential excursion to Mexico.
09:28I know that may be on the mind of Kato,
09:30but is it on the mind of the no-gate dojo officials?
09:34That is the question that needs to be answered as Kato now...
09:37Beautiful drop kicks there out of Jay and Matsumoto.
09:40And now Matsumoto to serve up on a silver platter.
09:43A potential victory on the board for himself and Jay.
09:45Zane Jay holding down Yasuda at ringside here.
09:48And Matsumoto, no, losing his footing.
09:50That is a rookie, rookie move for a Young Lion in Matsumoto.
09:54As Shomokato going to do everything that he can to try and scratch,
09:58to try and claw and get to those bottom ropes right here, right now.
10:02And Yasuda in to break that affair up.
10:07Kato, kato.
10:14Kato!
10:19Kato!
10:20Kato!
10:24Oh, yeah, Tato.
10:26Whoa, whoa.
10:30Two count only.
10:33Whoa, did you see that?
10:35A huge open bomb there from Tatsu Matsumoto.
10:39That's one more tie.
10:41Beautiful arm drag there from Shumakato to keep the pressure on.
10:44And, man, oh, man, it's going to be a night of talking about tag team action
10:47all the way up and down.
10:49Our final Block B encounters.
10:53And Kato has not made many friends in the no-gay dojo,
10:57and that's not from a lack of trying, of course.
10:59Kato always a smile on his face,
11:01but no smiles to be had on either corner right now.
11:04Kato that Boston Crab locked in.
11:07And the Boston Crab on Tatsu Matsumoto.
11:10This could be definitive here tonight.
11:13Oh, as Matsumoto continuing to try and scratch and claw his way,
11:18and still Kato right back to the lion mark in the top of the hand.
11:22It's over.
11:249 minutes and 22 seconds.
11:26Kato is the winner of Shumakato.
11:28Yes.
11:29Well, it is Shumakato victorious here tonight.
11:39Alongside Masatori Asada, our two most senior young lions
11:43picking up victory here tonight against St. J and Tatsu Matsumoto.
11:46It's going to be better luck next time when we talk about J and Matsumoto.
11:50We have no idea our next announced New Japan Pro Wrestling card in full.
11:55Well, you have to imagine these young lions will be looking to make their way to Gifu themselves.
12:00As we get right back on and into the swing of things wrestling fans,
12:12we thank you so much for joining us here tonight for yet another night of Super Junior Tag League action.
12:17It is night eight for Super Junior Tag League 2025.
12:21It's Shumakato victorious in his home prefecture of Osaka to kick things off in in-ring competition.
12:26We want to thank everyone for tuning in tonight on NJPW World.
12:32Once again, my name is Walker Stewart.
12:34We want to invite you to Tokyo Dome tickets continue on sale right now.
12:38NJPW1972.com.
12:41And we could be getting a preview of one individual or one team rather that makes their way all the way to the Tokyo Dome.
12:48Potentially as Junior Tag Team Champions, we're going to be seeing a lot of great Super Junior Tag action coming up very soon.
12:54But for right now, eight man tag action to continue us here in Etienne Arena Osaka.
