00:00Welcome to the House of Tortures.

00:10So, our four previews for the night.

00:15Over and done with, and from here on out,

00:19four matches we'll see B-Block in World Tag League 2025 get underway.

00:30Red Narendra and Sonata represented House of Tortures.

00:43Sonata, two times, a World Tag League winner

00:49and twice converted the World Tag League trophies into IWGP Tag Team Championship wins.

00:55That was alongside IWL though, IWL teaming with Don Fale here in this tournament.

01:01And now we have Sonata and Ren Narendra on paper,

01:07two, well, used to be classical wrestlers.

01:11Two men that are fond of but enjoy inflicting pain.

01:16Two men that are fond of but enjoy inflicting pain.

01:24And two men that now enjoy taking a lot of shortcut.

01:29Here and there.

01:32Let's see what they can do together.

01:35A lot of mystery, even in his few entries into World Tag League thus far.

01:40Second entry into World Tag League for this team.

01:45Lance Archer, Alexeyn, Monster Sauce.

01:49Making their way into World Tag League.

01:51We're going to have to clear the decks of Young Lions.

01:53We've cleared the decks here on the English announce table.

01:57Welcoming Drew Maloney to the desk.

01:58Yeah, I'm just in time to see my favourite guy here.

02:06Which one?

02:08You have a guess.

02:09Who put nine stitches in my head?

02:11Snaples actually, Chris.

02:12Well, yeah, well, there you go.

02:13Well, you've got a little comeback at King of Pro Wrestling.

02:16I can't wait to watch Big Lance and Source tear this motherfucker off.

02:26Ten seconds in and we've already got to the network.

02:29Well, I heard we've got different sponsors and different networks now.

02:31And I can't let one fly.

02:32The big lad told me that.

02:33I don't know where he is, but the big boy told me it was cool.

02:35Alright.

02:41What do you reckon?

02:42You reckon me and Shingo need to get matching hair colours too?

02:44Wouldn't be a bad idea.

02:46We're getting around pretty well, huh?

02:47Maybe that's the next step.

02:48I don't want to rush things.

02:55Undefeated on the two of us far, congratulations.

02:57Thank you very much.

02:58That's going to roll through all the way, baby.

03:00But Shingo's birthday yesterday, that man is feeling good.

03:03Guess how many years old he is?

03:04The same calibre as I am, baby.

03:06He's 44 years old.

03:07Hell of a partner.

03:08Hell of a partner.

03:09Here we go, baby!

03:10Get on!

03:11Yeah, so I imagine there was more sauce last night than Alex Zane.

03:16Hmm.

03:17Check, check, check.

03:18You could say that.

03:19You could say that.

03:20But you know Shingo, bro.

03:21He's got some high spirit.

03:22He was at Brighton early.

03:23Bring your ass on.

03:24Let's go.

03:25I don't want to keep things too light.

03:27I'm trying to see a murder take place.

03:29Oh, it's going to be Ren'Archer that he is first in for this one.

03:35I got it.

03:36Hey.

03:37And we'll leave it all to Lance Archer.

03:40Let's go!

03:41Let's bring your ass on.

03:42To get us underway.

03:44Are you surprised with how you've gotten along with Shingo Takagi?

03:48Is it just one of those things where violence brings people closer together?

03:51You beat the hell out of someone all year and then...

03:53Yeah.

03:54I think so.

03:55And I think that my heavyweight debut was obviously against Shingo.

03:58And we've had a series of matches this year.

04:00I think he's got to...

04:01You know, the people in the crowd, a lot of people in the back have seen me grow.

04:04Seen me perform.

04:05Seen me live up to expectations, exceed expectations.

04:08He's felt it firsthand.

04:10And I think we already had a bit of respect going back to that last G1 match we had.

04:14And the chips fell in place and it just kind of makes sense.

04:19As expected.

04:20Now he turns to the eyes of Lance Archer.

04:22But you're a high cost and a big man.

04:28Shuji Ishikawa a big man coming up next for you.

04:30Oh my god.

04:31Dude.

04:32There's a reason I'm a step late out of here.

04:35What the fuck?

04:36What business does he have jumping off any type of rope with both his feet onto anyone's chest?

04:41I'm not one for banning moves.

04:42I like to be a man about things.

04:43But that...

04:44A lot of people have tried to ban the Driller Killer.

04:46But do you think you can get that on Shuji Ishikawa?

04:49Dude.

04:50Dude.

04:51Do I think I can.

04:52I could drop him with that.

04:53I've had Hartley Jackson up there.

04:54There's no one I've tried to get that on that hasn't at least gone up through him.

04:58So I don't want him to count on his height and his size too much.

05:01He's eligible to get his netball cameras like anybody else.

05:04Alex Zane for some reason started his career in here in New Japan Pro Wrestling as a junior heavyweight.

05:09Certainly considerable size.

05:11Got up in the mush over in Narita right there.

05:14Their second time here in this tournament.

05:16They took a year away last year as Alex Zane teamed with Yusuke Tabuchi.

05:26And Sonata.

05:27Why do we even bring Sonata out here, bro?

05:29He's not been legal.

05:30I'm sure there's been full tours where this guy's never been the legal man.

05:34I'm sure we've done month-long tours where this guy has never ever been the legal man.

05:38That might be a challenge to have.

05:40Come on, Zane. Get your ass up, don't you?

05:45I want to see Lance Archer lose his mind on these guys, bro.

05:48I know he's happy to be back.

05:50He's been like, like you said, over a year, maybe a little more since Lance Archer's been in Japan.

05:55But I want to kind of, I want him to stop celebrating that just for a second and get his mind on some murder,

06:00because he's dealing with some real assholes.

06:02It's something that he's going to have to do.

06:04Seven league matches for each of these teams.

06:06Two points for a win.

06:08You have to be the top two-point scorers to make their way into the semifinals.

06:13Sonata, I mean, usually we say cut the ring in half, but I mean, here we're cutting the ringside area in half.

06:19He needs to cut Sonata in half, bro.

06:21With the smallest knife he can find, so it takes a little longer and it hurts a little more.

06:25See, I'm glad I'm not in this block, because this is a match that I'll probably just get thrown out straight away.

06:32We'd probably have to take a DQ.

06:34Now he turned to the cover, gets two, and...

06:40Get your eyes on that, Kente. He's pinned him by the Adam's apple, though.

06:46Pinned him by the Adam's apple, though.

06:48There was one spot at a time, I think Rin Narita and Sonata both had that, well, I suppose, classical flair,

06:53and that made them fan favorites.

06:55And now they have classical flair as, well, two of the most hated here in New Japan, bro.

07:00And I think every sort of classic trick in the book, pulling the referee away, low blows, into the guardrails, holding the throat.

07:08But to me, that just seems, that just screams that they're quitters.

07:12You had all that ability, you had all this classical training, you had great senpires.

07:16That was showing that you can do things the right way.

07:18Sonata was the world champion doing things the right way.

07:21That's a low road, you quit, you quit.

07:23You couldn't keep up with doing things the right way, you quit.

07:26You're a loser.

07:29Yeah, I think part of, well, wait a second, Narita's got a chair and just gonna further...

07:34Yeah, but look, Lance Archer, he's starting to go where I want him to go now, but...

07:37He is Stuart.

07:39There's no doubt about it.

07:42There is, as we said, Sonata, a two-time All-Tag League winner.

07:47Two-time, won the IWGP Tag Team Championships at Wrestle Kingdom.

07:50One of those times was against Lance Archer and Davey Boy Smith Jr. in the Tokyo Dive.

07:58I'm starting to think we could get a sanction where House of Torture matches have two referees.

08:03It might not be a bad idea.

08:06That's something, you know, at least we need to have VIR around here or something.

08:12Yeah, good job, Narita. I'm sure that really hurt him.

08:16No, he definitely did.

08:18Oh, wait.

08:20I don't think that hurt him either.

08:22No, he's pushed him off is what he's done, but Narita typically thinking two or three steps ahead.

08:30Now the referee is drawn and that's gonna allow more cheating coming in from the other side.

08:35At least, some would argue you might have to respect the intelligence.

08:43Is it intelligence when you're playing out of a dirty playbook though?

08:47You know.

08:48You know.

08:49Is it ring like you're these guys just assholes, you know?

08:53Some of the best picks of dirty ones as Alex Zane now looks to make the tag and does to Lance Archer.

09:03I don't care if everybody does, I just need one person in this ring to die.

09:09Well, you could take two for the price of one, but there's one particular that I really want dead.

09:13I thought I'd done it myself, clearly not.

09:15That boot just driving right now to down out of the corner.

09:19Well, I think we're going to have two deaths for the price of one.

09:29He's having fun with it now.

09:31That's Archer.

09:32He's having fun now.

09:33And the Dan Carlos family over at AEW.

09:36That was a forever close line I could get behind.

09:39Spinebuster to in Narita.

09:45Not by the scruff of the neck, Narita made his World Tag League debut two years ago alongside Shota Umino.

09:51And then, well, promptly turned his back on Umino.

09:54Enjoying House of Torture blackout.

10:00And Narita gets three.

10:05Again, a smart play.

10:07And when you've got a man like Lance Archer in there with you,

10:10you're going to have to have something underhanded to make progress.

10:14Dude, Sonata could be in there with that title that keeps waving at me on comms,

10:20and he would do these same things.

10:22He's got nothing to do with this man being big.

10:23He just doesn't know how to do things like a man.

10:29That might be the first wrestling move he's done all year, Chris.

10:31Yeah, bud, there you go.

10:32That's true.

10:33Well, low bridge as well.

10:35And...

10:37Okay, there's only so far you're going to get, man.

10:39It's certainly not a typical wrestling move.

10:41It's all in force for Sonata.

10:45And one wonders whether he'll make use of that later on.

10:48But Sonata up top, eh?

10:51There's times, Julia, where Sonata can't resist.

10:54And sometimes you see little flares of the old Sonata.

10:58Unfortunately, it seems to me he's more successful doing stuff like that.

11:07Yeah, well, here it comes.

11:17Team you've heard, and...

11:22I don't know exactly what I enjoy, but there goes the guitar flying.

11:25Here comes Sonata, wait a second.

11:29See, here's what I mean, we need a second ref, because here we go.

11:40Now it all unfolds, here we go.

11:41Yeah, well, Yoshinobu Kanemaru is a licensed referee, so be careful what you wish for.

11:45Licensed by who, bro?

11:47Licensed by who?

11:48You can get down a pack of cigarettes, where do you get a license?

11:57He revoked his wrestling license too.

12:00I think it's where Alex Saint got ordained from.

12:03Black Hole Sland takes out the narrator.

12:11Sonata will defeat her all over the ropes.

12:15Have a little peek, dude.

12:21Nothing that matters.

12:22Up you go.

12:23Good night.

12:26You can do that again if you want to, Lance.

12:28Nobody's going to stop you.

12:29I think they have some follow-up planned.

12:38Let's eat.

12:41The table's set.

12:43Aw, Sanata squashed black out from Lance.

12:46Archer, there's the cover.

12:48And that is it.

12:49What a shame.

12:50Two points!

12:52Two points!

12:53Two points!

12:54Archer!

12:55Two on the board for Archer and Zane.

12:58It's on the board for Archer and Zayn.

13:09Yeah, that's a team that would have to team up pretty damn good when she got to go to

13:15Andrew Maloney in the point of four perhaps.

13:18Yeah, maybe we all have to get some red dyeing out here.

13:21I would like to see more of both of these two here.

13:27They were on my first middle of doors in New Japan.

13:29We came back for it all.

13:31We need everybody in the B-block.

13:33You know Chris Bravo TV?

13:37Yeah, yeah.

13:38Shout out Bravo TV.

13:40The sauce will consumers all.

13:43Yeah.

13:44What?

13:57All right, so Archer and Zayn are on the board.

13:59Callan Newman and Guido Khan, there's an interesting team.

14:02We'll talk more about it in just a second.

14:04They're coming up Tuesday night in Fukushima.

14:07Big Palette.

14:08Zayn and Archer on the board here in World Tag.

14:11All right, let's see.

14:12Oh no!
