00:00That's a nice new, unaffiliated, zip-up hoodie there.
00:24I'm sure he'll be able to get on Tocon's Top Global, not very soon if not right now.
00:37Driller Maloney will be looking to get two more points on the board.
00:43Monday and Finsawa.
00:45It was a match two days ago that he had been waiting for for years and waiting for even more intently ever since the summer.
00:53Driller was finally able to throw down with friend and rival Dave King.
01:00And bringing success, teaming with a rival turning potential friend in Shingo Tsukagi.
01:12Sometimes Shingo Tsukagi and Driller Maloney have beaten the hell at one another all the way through the year.
01:19And sometimes the more you beat the hell out of someone, the more money you make.
01:24And the more money you make, the better friends you are.
01:27Driller Maloney and Shingo Tsukagi offering to exchange a few beers.
01:31Driller Maloney and Shingo recently celebrating a birthday and celebrated a win for the formation of this new team, I guess.
01:38The War Dragons.
01:40What's behind you?
01:41Is it something you have ever seen since it went way back?
01:42This is what's behind you.
01:44The War Dragons.
01:45Does every member decide what's behind you?
01:47About the leaving, the 랩핑 your 거.
01:48One b públic!
01:50The only war character, Borja Mogi!
02:02Well, that's a good war dragons.
02:04Not preceded dragons.
02:06Takari Shiroos!
02:10Well, you hear the call from Abe.
02:14Uncle Abe are ringing outside, making the official call that,
02:17yes, these are the war dragons.
02:21It makes you wonder whether, you know,
02:23maybe this affiliation, this collaboration
02:26with the unaffiliated and the War Dogs,
02:29maybe it might extend beyond World Tag League.
02:32Suddenly it should if one of the teams
02:36that come out of that collaboration were victorious
02:39in this tournament.
02:42El Desperado and Shuji Ishikawa
02:45unsuccessful in their opening effort
02:49a couple of days ago against Borja Oleg and Toriano.
02:53And the big story just as was with Taichi
02:57with the knee and the leg.
03:00With El Desperado, it's his back.
03:03There was a screen back that left him off a live event last Sunday.
03:10And certainly still that screen back
03:16traveling Desperado.
03:18Shuji Ishikawa is going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.
03:22And as we mentioned, when we were in Machida on Monday,
03:26marking a national hold day here in Japan,
03:29it's Japanese Labor Day weekend, here this weekend.
03:34And that will mean Shomakato, the Young Lion,
03:36is going to be definitely put to work,
03:38I would anticipate, in this one.
03:41This is, well, the kind of tag team match that everybody likes.
03:45An awful lot of power,
03:47and a lot of power,
03:49and a lot of power,
03:51and a lot of power,
03:53and a lot of power,
03:55and a lot of power you're going to see in that ring coming up Monday.
04:00Dylan Maloney, El Desperado have their past.
04:03And we'll start this one.
04:05There's one singles match between them.
04:09They invested the Super Juniors a couple of years ago,
04:11because believe it or not,
04:13there was a point in time where Dylan Maloney was a junior heavyweight.
04:17Started his career as a heavyweight wrestler.
04:20And still he didn't get the rest.
04:21He hit the record.
04:22He in NXT UK.
04:23And went back on the UK independent scene after that,
04:26slimmed down with the intention of being the strongest and hardest hitting
04:31junior heavyweight there was.
04:33And then earlier this year in 2025,
04:36made the transition back to being a heavyweight.
04:39heavyweight and one of the strongest and hardest hitings heavyweights that we have here in new
04:45japan progress a lot of force and julio is not afraid to take things to the streets
04:57been fighting on the streets since he was a child so many something as well that el desguardo suji
05:03ishkari as well they're more than happy with doing but they're great on the mat wrestlers as well
05:09maloney nearly got caught there nearly does again and driller gets the shoulders up
05:17nice sprawl there up we go wait wait wait already it could be the driller killer inbound but no
05:23desperado escapes driller maloney still the possessor of the most lethal finishing
05:28move in professional wrestling and that is the driller killer and desguardo knows just how
05:33dangerous that is as maloney drop kicks away the former iwgp junior heavyweight champion
05:42now desguardo were he to win world tag league as well would presumably he and shuji shikawa either
05:50pull double duty or have their tight title match for the iwgp tag team championships
05:58but different date other than january the fourth because desperado part of a four-way number one
06:05contenders match that's a match with a lot of controversy over the iwgp junior heavyweight
06:10championship right now though shingo and shuji
06:13this was a long time coming a long time coming for these two
06:28between one another is the one singles encountered as
06:33All Japan Pro Wrestling's champion carnivore, Ishikawa is victorious on that night.
06:39Ishikawa, the former Triple Crown Champion in All Japan Pro Wrestling,
06:44but also, well, he's been a tag team champion wherever he has been in All Japan Pro Wrestling,
06:50in DDT, where he started his career in Union as well.
06:54Big Japan Pro Wrestling.
06:57And the South Pole Lariat there driving down Shingo Takagi,
07:01and Ishikawa is going to close the distance.
07:06Uh-oh.
07:08What is this now?
07:11What is this?
07:12I don't like the look of this.
07:15Quite heavy knee buried into the bread basket for Tsukagi,
07:20and Desperado likes what he sees.
07:31Looking for that giant driver, perhaps.
07:34Shingo escapes.
07:36Nothing doing there, surely, from the race slot for Shingo Takagi.
07:40Changes tack instead.
07:45Nice whip reverse.
07:46Wow!
07:47Impressive!
07:48Suplex from Shingo Takagi takes an awful lot out of the Dragon,
07:58and maybe now we have one member of each team with a screen back.
08:02Tags made both sides.
08:04Our young Ryan's in.
08:05Daiki Nagai for unaffiliated Shoma Kato for the Nogue Dojo.
08:10And look at the cold, vicious killer instinct on the face of Daiki Nagai,
08:19who is badly, badly hungry and awaiting his first significant
08:24statement win here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
08:28Made one statement in breaking away from the Nogue system
08:31to join the unaffiliated, but has yet to turn that into results.
08:35The results could do so here for Daiki Nagai,
08:39who is also from the Kanagawa area.
08:43Shoma Kato on the move.
08:44It's having a drop kick.
08:47Nagai, military background,
08:50is a member of the Japanese Self-Defence Forces
08:53out of Yokosuka.
08:57And it will be Drilla Maloney,
08:59the recipient of a tag on Shoma Kato.
09:02And all the blood rush into the head.
09:11Into the cover, Shoma Kato.
09:13Yeah, incensed, did Drilla Maloney.
09:16Great ring awareness that Descarado was going to make the break,
09:20and Maloney said, not ring down.
09:23Oh, come on.
09:36Yipang Kato marking the two-year anniversary of his debut
09:40just two nights ago when he started well-tagging.
09:43He's going to clear the path and calling the play, maybe a chance of a triple team here
09:59on Drillamaloni.
10:02Shoma Kato is itching to send himself on excursion.
10:05He wants to be headed to Mexico if he had the choice.
10:11Well, if he can put away Drillamaloni, whether assisted or not, this is ahead of assist.
10:18First Desperado, oh, good grief and Kato is going to pick up the pieces of what's left.
10:27Drillamaloni only gets the two, but certainly if Kato had gotten the three, well, he could
10:35go on excursion tomorrow.
10:37He could skip that excursion altogether.
10:44It's our course for all the MVPs of 2025 is Drillamaloni for the War Dogs.
10:50There's Maloni that tremendous core body strength there, sends Kato face first into the mat.
10:56Nice double A style, the Spine Buster there.
11:03Not to be outdone, Daikinaga, Spine Buster did not.
11:09Shingo, well, the Spine Buster wasn't happening, but the way it was.
11:20There's Horgella inside.
11:31Here in Fujisawa.
11:33Now what does that mean?
11:38now what does that mean oh we got the guy and maloney on two separate corners here
11:47and that's gonna leave oh poor cats are alone to fall to this wave goodbye driller killer
12:07and katzel is a goner
12:11there's one thing for driller maloney to hit that driller killer
12:22when the online show the katzel
12:28i would think that if driller killer is the plan
12:33for maloney monday and mansida i'd advise that they target el desperado but i wonder
12:42will the driller's considerable pride will make him target suji ishikawa instead
12:50more dragons versus el desperado and ishikawa and maloney said i'm gonna lift it
12:58a little bit of a team talk here shingo tsukagi said well they've got that war track and
13:08that double lean in japan star finisher
13:11and i think maloney has insisted that he's gonna hoist suji for the driller killer on monday
13:17we'll see what happens there's gonna be a hell of a more in matcha today's time
