04:57And they stared out of Bolton Oleg and Oskar.
04:59We're going to talk a little bit about those two going back in their history and it looks like we might be getting to this year's Super Junior Tag League.
05:11And they stared out of Bolton Oleg and Oskar.
05:14We're going to talk a little bit about those two going back in their history and it looks like we might be getting to it a little sooner rather than later.
05:20Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!
05:22And survey says no. Let's get to Toruyano and Yuto Ice.
05:27Now Toruyano certainly has his own brand of professional wrestling. There's no doubt about that but Yuto Ice has been developing a hell of an identity for himself as well.
05:39And it is incredibly interesting to see just how much Yuto Ice has been able to take on and really want the challenge of this early on into his New Japan Pro Wrestling tenure.
05:51Goes straight after the IWGP Tag Team Champions and Tomohiroishi and Taichi back in Kobe a successful defense back in Ryugoku as well.
06:01Come on. Well, I don't think we're going to see any IWGP Tag Title challenges from Ryusuke Taguchi anytime soon.
06:07At least not if Yuto Ice gets his way.
06:10Oh!
06:12Well, maybe, maybe just so.
06:15Keep in mind, Taguchi and Alex Zane a hell of a run in last year's World Tag League even if it was not the most successful when it came to making a playoff position.
06:26Who knows if we reunite the team of Funky Sauce, Ryusuke Taguchi and Alex Zane in the 2025 World Tag League.
06:34So that seems to be the predominant favorite for Oscar and Yuto Ice.
06:39The Super Junior Tag League is all fine and good, but the Heavyweight World Tag League is where these men are really going to cut their teeth deep.
06:46Damn!
06:51Daniel, Daniel, Daniel!
07:03Yeah!
07:08Oh, the naguchi!
07:10the form of flattery and yuto Ice is not to be imitated but rather
07:12Yuto Ice, not to be imitated, but rather to be original.
07:16Listen to this, that's O.G.
07:18Bumbleclat, you seen that?
07:22And the Bumbleclat knee strike.
07:25Out of the corner here for Yuto Ice.
07:27And talk about imitation, flattery, all these things regarding.
07:31Oscar did not manage to get his own Bumbleclat knee strike just the other day.
07:36Hartley Jackson, though, innovating the Bumbleclat Sentai.
07:40We're gonna see how many times we can see that work here.
07:42And that's O.G.
07:43And that's what O.G.
07:44And that's what O.G.
07:45And the heavyweight tag division for quite some time.
07:50And how do we know this to be the case?
07:51Well, the numbers do not lie.
07:53The first defense in a calendar year of those heavyweight tag team titles
07:57coming all the way back in Ryogoku.
08:00And Clark Connors, we thought Oscar and Ice were the newest members of the War Dogs.
08:04You haven't met Wheelsod yet.
08:06You look at Dike and a guy here.
08:09I don't think Taguchi too fond of what we've just seen here tonight.
08:13Or maybe he is.
08:14I can't really tell.
08:15God, shit, Dike.
08:16Yeah.
08:17So good.
08:19So good.
08:22But let's keep it.
08:30Well, it is Oskar and Ryusuke Teguchi your legal men right now.
08:38right now.
08:40Certainly, Oscar's dominance does not need any explanation to it.
08:44There is a reason that this man stands as tall as he does.
08:47The way that God built him is the way that God forces him to destroy
08:51his competition, but it is almost an ungodly force that possesses
08:55Oscar and Yuta Ice whenever they're inside that ring.
08:57There is no doubt about that.
08:59Oh, just like that.
09:02Taguchi might be seeing God sometime rather soon.
09:08Yes, Clark Connors, your legal man for the time being tonight.
09:15It is one fall, 20-minute time limit.
09:19I know that Clark Connors has had a lot of success in the junior
09:21heavyweight tag team division.
09:23Hell, some of that success first started initially alongside
09:27Ryusuke Taguchi in Super Junior Tag League competition.
09:30You remember very well the Wild Rhinos as much as Clark Connors
09:33maybe trying to forget about it over a period of time.
09:37And well, Ryusuke Taguchi definitely served as a great player coach during
09:42that team of himself and Clark Connors.
09:44But certainly, Connors was not able to replicate that nearly as much with
09:49Daiky Nagai, zero points on the board at the end of league competition.
09:53And it just happens to raise that question.
09:56Are we going to be seeing a lot more of Connors and Nagai?
09:59Are we going to be seeing a lot more of the War Dogs men affiliated combination or
10:04what was a Super Junior Tag League run, a one and done test for men like
10:08Connors and Nagai, Hiromu and Kero, so on and so forth?
10:12Five minutes past, five minutes past.
10:16Well, these are certainly the questions to have here tonight as Clark Connors has
10:20Ryusuke Taguchi in a reeling position right now.
10:23And Taguchi, watch this, atomic drop.
10:35And yeah, certainly feeling the brunt of every single side of it right now.
10:41Clark Connors trying to build back a dominant streak right here.
10:45There is no Joe Maloney in your corner anymore, my friend.
10:48And Clark Connors certainly having to realize that fact,
10:51having to put the boots back on for it.
10:53And Connors needs to get his way to the corner sometime rather soon.
10:57But here comes Dragon Daya.
11:00You know, Connors has joined me a number of times in the English broadcast booth
11:03throughout this tour.
11:04Hell, he's going to do so again here tonight.
11:06And he has been very impressed himself with Dragon Daya in in-ring competition.
11:10And how could you not be as a Dragon Gate fan, as a Dragon Gate star?
11:15Hell, if you are just a New Japan Pro Wrestling fan, you have to even admit
11:19that the Lucha Libre styling of Dragon Daya is certainly something that runs deep
11:27within that system.
11:28Certainly that has been lighting the world on fire for New Japan Pro Wrestling fans.
11:32And right off the road is Kobe, but right down the road goes Clark Connors.
11:41Here we go. Cover for Daya. Two count only.
11:44Oh, and Clark Connors, huge snap power slam on Dragon Daya.
11:53Oh, and Clark Connors, huge snap power slam on Dragon Daya.
12:06And now it's Oscar and Bolton Oleg.
12:19And now it's Oscar and Bolton Oleg.
12:21Look at the collision between these two behemoths.
12:40Six foot seven, nearly 300 pounds as Oscar Bolton Oleg has got to be nearing that 280 mark by this time.
12:47And boy, this man gets bigger every time I see him.
12:52Watch Oscar now. Hits the ropes tonight.
13:07No Saka. Pass by for Bolton Oleg.
13:09And a shoulder tackle.
13:11There are not many men who can bring Oscar off of his feet.
13:18But certainly doing so here right now.
13:21Oscar. Oh, no, no, no.
13:23You're going for a ride, my friend.
13:25Bolton Oleg's a freak of nature.
13:28It is superhuman strength every night of the game for both of these men.
13:33But which one is going to be more superhuman?
13:35Which one can be more unnatural?
13:37Let's go!
13:40Let's go!
13:43Let's go!
13:46Let's go!
13:49Yeah!
13:50Yeah!
13:51Yeah!
13:52Oh!
13:53Yeah!
13:54Yeah!
13:55Yeah!
13:56Yeah!
13:57Yeah!
13:58Yeah!
13:59Yeah!
14:00That's it!
14:01Yeah!
14:02Yeah!
14:03Oscar now gonna take things out of the corner.
14:04Watch out! Watch out!
14:05That exposed buckle from Torriano and Boltanoli to take huge advantage of it to flatten down the German monster.
14:16This is a big ask, but it's on the shoulders right now.
14:27Watch Oscar, watch Oscar, scoop up.
14:29Right on the lion heart goes Boltanoli.
14:35And tag in the corner, here comes Dyke and Nagai.
14:43Well, well, well, junior heavyweight Nagai has not been faring as well as he had hoped in this year's Super Junior Tag League.
14:49But now that it's done and over, how is Nagai able to take the lessons he's learned from the past five league matches
14:54and try and employ them even against a man the size of Boltan?
14:59And Nagai dodging move here, drop kick, and Boltan still standing.
15:03One more time, and Boltan taking down to the knees, and Connors and Nagai, watch this, watch this.
15:10Both sides of the ring here.
15:12Could it be hit and run, hit and run, Connors and Nagai, two.
15:20And now it's Yuto Ice and Oscar, Yuto Ice and Oleg rather, back inside the ring.
15:39Watch the guy here.
15:43This could be a steal, a steal away, schoolboy and two only for Yen Lai and Nike, Dyke and Nagai.
15:53And Oscar, Oscar going to hit the ring.
15:56And a leg drop.
15:57And that's going to ease up for Nagai here.
16:03Center stage right now on the former Never Openweight Champion, but flipped out the incredible lower body strength of Boltan Oleg on display for certain.
16:12I think it's absolutely impressive all that Boltan Oleg has done in just a little over, a little under three years rather.
16:22Oh, look at this though.
16:24That's with ease.
16:25Popped up and drop it down.
16:27Lay in the law.
16:29The verdict has been reached.
16:33Three count.
16:35And this one's over.
16:36The victory for Boltan Oleg is an unfortunate, unfortunate result, yet another for a Yen Lai and Dyke and Nagai, as I know this is certainly not at all the way that this Yen Lai and Oleg is going to win.
17:06Let's approve out in Super Junior Tag League this year, the only Yen Lai to compete in the New Japan Pro Wrestling Tournament along the past few years, by my measure at least.
17:25As we get into the final stage here tonight of Super Junior Tag League, on the road to the final tomorrow, 24 hours from now, in Gifu.
17:33It is certainly going to be one to talk about because after Tanahashi's final homecoming, we are going to start to see the seeds planted for what is going to be a lengthy, lengthy tour indeed for World Tag League this year.
17:44Oscar and Utah Ice are going to be in for their money.
17:48The IWGP Tag Team Champions are certainly going to be major targets going into this year's World Tag League.
17:55But the question is going to be, who will be able to knock them down?
18:11And a massive victory here tonight for Ryusuke Tsuguchi, Dragon Daya, Boltan Oleg, and Toriyano.
18:17Team Hontai and Dragon Gate Combination walk away with a win here in our second match of the evening.
18:24We're going to be moving right on, wrestling fans, to our next match on the card.
18:28Six-man tag team fight underway soon enough.
18:31United Empire reunited.
18:32Calum Newman, Tim Barrio, and Jacob Austin-Yupp take on House of Tortures, Yutro Takahashi, and the IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions, the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, and of course, your Super Junior Tag League finalists in Block A of Sho and Toki.
18:50We're going to get right there soon enough.
18:52We thank you for joining us tonight on NJPW World.
