00:30Tortra's tactics didn't necessarily pay off for REN&Narita and Sonata.
00:37A couple of days ago, Sonata and REN&Narita,
00:44in World Tag League competition losing to Monster Sauce.
00:48They're gonna need to put their heads together.
00:59The two men in Sonata and REN&Narita with considerable wrestling IQ.
01:14The United Yoshinobu Kanemaru to the mix of this trio is remarkable wrestling IQ, I would say.
01:20They're gonna have to put all of that intelligence to good use.
01:28Up against IWGP Tag Team Champions who are hopping mad to say the least.
01:35REN&Narita will lead.
01:42I think a guy representing the unaffiliated will lead War Dogs, Knockout Brothers, IWGP
02:02Tag Champions, Yuto Ice and Oscar to the ring.
02:07Oscar and Ice.
02:096'7' of stature and 6'7' of swagger.
02:1210cm, 84kg, Nagai Daike!
02:18Headed into this World Tag League undefeated as a duo, but that is not the case anymore.
02:29And they had everything behind them in Fujisawa, they had the match sewn up and it was just a momentary lapse in environmental awareness.
02:38And that blind tag for David Finlay.
02:44They weren't outpowered, they weren't outwrestled, they were outsmarted.
02:52And that is part of the game.
02:57And maybe the case that Sanado and Red Narita might...
03:05No hell to outsmart the champions again.
03:09IWGP Tag Champions Team, 2m1cm, 125kg.
03:14Oscar!
03:17180cm, 113kg.
03:20Yuto Ice!
03:23Ice on the rocks there as Naito interrupted the call from ring announcer Watanabe and now...
03:41Oh my...
03:43Sanado's got that chain, that diamond chain trying to drive it into the eyes of Yuto Ice.
03:51Sanado is certainly a high spender at times, but so is Ice, that chain is worth $10,000.
03:58He nearly took out Ice, and being stomped through.
04:07Sanado and Red Narita join House of Torture on the backs of Betrayals.
04:12Narita, during World Tag League in 2023, he stabbed his then-partner Shota Umino in the back to join the house.
04:24Well, Sanado, he stabbed War Dogs in the back and the front and everywhere else and smashed a guitar over Drilla Malone's head to join the house in April of this year.
04:38Leave it or not, Sanado, this time last year in World Tag League, was in the War Dogs and was teaming with Gabe Kitt, made it all the way to the finals.
04:47Already a two-time winner of this tournament, as Ice was thinking Bomberkrat and Kanemo grabbed the ankle there.
04:54And there you go, if there is any place, and I don't think that you could beat Oscar and Ice together in a straight-up fight, and I think you can if you use your smarts.
05:12Sanado and Ice are headed out this way. I might have to take cover.
05:19I'm going to stay on my toes over here, see what happens.
05:27Here we go, we're getting a tour of the natural civic gymnasium here.
05:39And what Sanado is doing here is not just putting damage on you to Ice, but pushing Ice's buttons. Ice is a violent man. Ice enjoys the fight.
05:47And what Sonata is doing here is not just putting damage on Yuto Ice, but pushing Ice's buttons.
05:54Ice is a violent man. Ice enjoys the fight.
05:57And if you can lead him in one direction, then you might be able to sneak in the back door.
06:06I don't think Sonata was ignorant of that fact.
06:11And I would be surprised if Sonata didn't see how things went down Saturday in Fujisawa.
06:19And he knows, as well as we do, that Oscar and Ice are extremely two angry men right now.
06:29Oscar making an appeal in German to referee Sakamoto, who barely speaks Japanese.
06:44So I don't think that's going to work.
06:46And in the meantime, that's allowed Narita to get a couple of shots in with the ring belt.
06:51The ring hammer out it.
06:54Hard to beat. Easier to be manipulated, potentially.
07:10And the IWGP Tag Team Champions. Here's the cover.
07:14Kanemaru on two as the shoulder comes up.
07:18Kanemaru now on the charge here.
07:32And Narita gets to two. Kanemaru absolutely the best person to be in the corner for this trio's matchup.
07:39Sonata and Narita a duo in World Tag League for the first time.
07:44Or Kanemaru one of the smartest men in professional wrestling.
07:50Especially when it comes to tag competition.
07:52two-tag competition.
08:03And now it's a go straight to the throat of Yuto Ice.
08:09To be fair, Ice and Oscar, for their part,
08:11not entirely dismissive of House of Torture.
08:15And certainly came into this tournament,
08:17coming into this match tomorrow,
08:19very aware of the fact that
08:21House of Torture will cut any corner
08:23that is available to them.
08:30As Oscar now comes in,
08:33oh, in a hurry.
08:35And Narita went down in a hurry.
08:39So does Sonata,
08:41a couple of big old shoulder charges,
08:43201 centimeters of Oscar.
08:45And that choke that might have worked somewhat,
08:56doesn't have the leverage on Oscar
08:57that he might have had on ice.
09:00Up high is Narita.
09:01There's no choice but to go for the eye.
09:04The champions don't care if you fight dirty or fight clean.
09:11They just like to fight.
09:12That sleeper might have more efficacy.
09:15But I think, again,
09:16this is a sleeper that is damned effective.
09:20That is a sleeper that has put many a man out.
09:24And the last time I might have made the biggest mistake of his life, or at least the biggest
09:34mistake since he brought those goofy shoes he wears, meeting in the minds, oh no, a double
09:47Goozle, reversed into a, well, each of the giant Bernards, and then either side of the schnitzel
09:59for Oscar, who's in a world of hurt here.
10:03And it's Nagai that makes a much needed tag.
10:07What explosivity for Nagai to Kanemaru, but Nagai's running hot as well.
10:14Nagai, another man, very, very hungry, oh, nicely done, reverses Saladu into the guardrail
10:19here.
10:21You've got to keep your eyes on Kanemaru.
10:28Ten hits high.
10:36Nice transition, had both the legs, why not take it?
10:41Heaves it up, as he knows he can't get Kanemaru over, instead, with that Boston Crab dropkick,
10:48oh, nothing but thin air.
10:51And that might be the opening that Kanemaru needs.
10:55Up and over goes Dyke and Nagai, referee right there, two and no.
11:04Oh, and again, he's not able to manipulate Oscar, and kicked him low in the corner of your
11:16frame there.
11:17Meanwhile, Kanemaru is going to drag Nagai a long way from the ropes, he's going to sit
11:22right down, and that is like...
11:26I think we saw a couple of days ago, and we've seen it, oh, and here's eyes.
11:33I think we saw a couple of days ago, and we've seen it, oh, and here's eyes.
11:56Eyes wants to get back here, but he's in a dangerous position, Kanemaru with the chair.
12:00Damage done, House of Torture going to hit the bricks.
12:07Oscar's got a guitar in his hands, and, well, we've got a situation that's going to turn
12:11off backstage here.
12:12We'll try and get cameras on the knockout brothers in House of Torture.
12:17We'll try and get cameras on the knockout brothers in House of Torture.
12:24All right.
12:26Thanks for joining us.
12:27We'll try to get back here.
12:28You take the camera and get your camera close.
