00:00We talked a lot over the course of the evening about World Tag League history and
00:21IWGP Tag Team Championship history. Evil a two-time World Tag League winner.
00:27I remember the Ensenada going at it with you and David Boy Smith in the Tokyo Dome.
00:33Yeah, that was one of our, other than the loss, was probably one of the more fun matches we had there.
00:40They certainly know, Les Evil, how to find success. So far, 1-0 with Don Fale.
00:47They go Don Fale.
00:49And he calls himself, Les Evil, the only gold medalist in professional wrestling.
00:58Okay.
00:59Spray painted that never openweight championship gold and said, this is my medal.
01:04Wasn't it already gold before that?
01:06Well, he had a little bit of a bronze ready.
01:09Oh, yeah.
01:10193cm, 170kg.
01:13Don Fale has changed his image up too since the last time I saw him.
01:19Don Fale is not exactly dressed to wrestle. He's dressed to beat people up.
01:24He was going to put that quote unquote gold medal on the line January the 4th in the Tokyo Dome Wrestle Kingdom 20.
01:39The professional wrestling debut of Olympic gold medalist, the actual gold medalist, Aaron Wolf.
01:46Wolf.
01:47Okay.
02:10Me time.
02:11Me time.
02:12Margot!
02:13We Malisu
02:17The team of two of the most heated rivals that we've had in New Japan pro wrestling over the last couple of years.
02:29Gamefleet and Yodosuji came up at the Nogue outsider's system together.
02:34He does indeed, just kind of. Just a little bit, just going to be defending that IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship against the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Win and take all. Just a little bit of a deal.
02:49But that's the deal Lance that GameKid wanted. GameKid was the Global Heavyweight Champion. He lost that title to Yodosuji in Niogoku.
02:58And GameKid has, well, a lot of personal and very visceral hatred towards Konosuke's aggression. He wants that match, just as much as Yodosuji has it.
03:10And we are underway here. Getting right into the fight, right into the fight.
03:18And this is going to go all over the place. Yeah, they're coming this way. Yeah, I don't even think I'm safe.
03:23I'm safe for her because you're here. That's about it.
03:28You know, it's telling everybody to stay clear because things are going to get dangerous here.
03:37We're wild with the water on.
03:40Join in preparation.
03:43Is that what he's saying? Stay back? Yeah, he's saying stay back, be careful.
03:49I always heard that back when I was in fighting for other people. Exactly.
03:52I never understood what I've seen since then.
03:54I would just chase children. Yeah, I know. You're leaving a lot of... It was fun.
03:58It was a whole generation of mentally scarred children in Japan. No, no, no.
04:03They're stronger people now.
04:05You go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.
04:09And you hear that volley telling Dick Togo, you go ahead and put the boots in to Gabe Kidd.
04:15And he heads into the ring.
04:17Yeah. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
04:18That shoes Zuno is not going to leave the ring though.
04:23I'm not sure. Did he get a bell? I'm not exactly sure.
04:26Yeah, I don't know.
04:27Yeah, I don't know.
04:28As much as officially started or not, he's going to keep continuing all the way around.
04:32way around, match it here, Mugol downstairs, well this is a classic, Mugol handy with the
04:50steel chair, well Gabe here, you got taken away, you got taken away, yeah just as effective,
04:56boom, that sucks, oh, that sucks, Gabe Kidd, such a, have you ever been hit with a chair,
05:08no, funnily enough, I don't really care to, well I think it's going to take the scenic
05:22group, oh, and build up an awful lot of steam here, Evil in a world of trouble, here comes
05:27Gabe Kidd, oh, and there went that chair, went a little too far, now Evil will set to work,
05:39and this is, an old Evil favourite, it is high, far and long, you think he's an Otani fan?
05:52It probably would be Glory Hogg, the Evil, going Don Fale, Don Fale calling out Gedo as a biased
06:08commentator, in the meantime, Dick Togo, able to get physically involved in this one,
06:14yeah, has this match even actually started, I'm, well, I mean, I don't know, I'm not exactly
06:23sure, oh, there it goes, yeah, now we've finally rung the bell, finally starts, I'm going to
06:28stand up so I can see what's going on here, we got it on the TV screen, Evil into the cover,
06:36and Gabe Kidd, rolls the shoulders two times in a third, finally Magdao Abe gets to do his
06:49ring announcement, we're going to make sure that Abe gets his stuff, make sure,
06:55his, well, Gabe Kidd, even though, this match are only five seconds old, officially, Gabe
07:07taking a hell of a lot of punishment, yeah, does this, does all that count towards the 30
07:12minute timeline, or is it just now, sorry? No, now, the 30 minute timeline has started.
07:16Gabe Kidd, getting choked out, for all of, certainly Gabe Kidd doesn't really mind, oh,
07:25finally put on a couple kgs too, so this is extra heavy, the Tonga massage parlor open for
07:33business, come here, son of a bitch, come here, how dare, he's just mad at the camera,
07:39Tony Gabe Kidd has made a career out of angering an awful lot of people, wherever he goes,
07:51he doesn't really seem to mind, but he always speaks his mind, one way or the other, and
07:56Gabe Kidd has been very vocal in saying that he and Yojutsuji represent the best in New Japan
08:02Pro Wrestling, and that Evil and Don Fale are, quote, embarrassments. Everybody's got an opinion
08:12like an asshole. Everyone has one, some people are one. Is that how it goes? How are you an
08:21opinion? They all smell bad, too. That's true. Especially mine. How do you know what yours smells
08:29like? Well, you know, that's a whole nother story that may be not good for the Japan world.
08:34He's trying, he's fighting. Chocking to the throat there. Gabe Kidd's not afraid to fight
08:47dirty either, and he might have to against Don Fale. Up in the foot, get up in the eye,
08:52do what you can, get out of the way of that elbow is one way of doing it. Yeah, that's smart,
08:56because otherwise I don't think he'd have gotten back out. Oh, he made the tag. No, what? No,
09:00Evil came in with a chair. Now Red Shoes wouldn't have seen a tag even if it was made. Dick Togo
09:05pulled Yojutsuji off the apron anyway. Dick's an asshole all in this match. Dick Togo.
09:17Right, okay. We've been trying to make Dick Togo for years. It gets harder the older you get, you know?
09:27Well, sometimes that's not the case. Gabe into the empty turnbuckle. Yeah, right head first. Lucky,
09:37checking for blood. Might have been split open. Unfortunately enough, not. Gabe's definitely
09:48taking a beating in this match. And Yojutsuji absolutely stewing out here on the floor. Dick Togo.
09:55Oh, man. And you can hear the impact, Lance. I mean, people think that's just like a nice,
10:01soft pillow in the corner. It ain't. No. It's not at all. Get up, get up. Get up.
10:08Yeah. And body slam.
10:12One, two, three.
10:15Sometimes it ain't gotta be fancy. You just pick him up, slam him on the ground.
10:19They don't get back up. Shut up, Get up. Shut up, Get up.
10:24Get up, Get up. Come on, guys.
10:27Get up! Hell no, man, man.
10:29Get up, Get up, Get up! Get up, Get up.
10:32Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, Get down.
10:35People starting to get behind Gabe Kidd here.
10:38Uh-oh. Uh-oh. He's got a little fight in him, a little fight.
10:42Whoa! Uh-oh.
10:44That is exactly the gameplan of Evil. You draw up that fight and then you throw it in his face.
10:49game plan of evil you draw up that fight and then you throw it in his face wait just a straight
10:56right from the jaw. Gabe's got to make that tag he's been taking a beating for a long time.
11:06Finally it might be Yota Suji first time evil in this matchup here we go global heavyweight champion.
11:19Reversal, duck and gets a hold of him. Forearm shiver there.
11:31Rainbuster into a power by Red Shoes gets to two. Yota Suji defended the global championship against Hiroshi Tanahashi in November and then said afterwards don't worry after you're gone New Japan is in good hands with me and Hiroshi Tanahashi said well the
11:49bulls in your court. Passing the torch. The question is whether he can take it because that torch right now is held by Konoskate's guest to the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
12:00And Don Gallus from him.
12:08Suji wearing down evil there in the corner.
12:12Here comes the big old splash with a big old knee.
12:24Well we've seen him. Oh and we saw this in fact at the G1 Climax semi-final.
12:31Exactly the same as happened in Ariake.
12:34Uh oh.
12:35All kicked to the gut.
12:37Yota Suji was taken out of the G1 because Don Falle interfered in exactly that position and knocked Suji out. Knocked him unconscious and evil picked up the win.
12:47Evil now misdirects out of the corner and gets him with the larry.
12:51Both boys are down. Let's go.
12:58In the meantime Farley Singh stars out on the floor as is Gabe Kidd.
13:09No tags here. We're gonna march on. Evil, Hoi Suji, Fishman, Buster. Here we go into the cover.
13:17Let's see. Not quite.
13:27I've faced both Evil and Don Falle in the G1. I've only faced Suji in the Tag League. Same with Gabe Kidd a few years ago.
13:35So I've had experience with all four of these guys in different capacities.
13:39You can see the gears turning in Evil.
13:49He made up his mind. Perhaps the darkness falls. Denied though. Watch this.
13:54It's number one with Suji. It's always one, two, three. Always in combination.
14:02And getting fired up. Here we go.
14:07All the quarterback looking to explode out the corner once the gene blaster. Wait a second.
14:13I always forget that he was a quarterback. I was a quarterback.
14:16There you go. And look at this. Wait.
14:19One distraction after another.
14:22Oh.
14:24And there was Leon Kong. First Evil took his elbow pad off and threw it aside. Then Dick Togo slid the chair in.
14:31And it was all to make sure that Web Shizuno was wiped out. And now...
14:37Now Dick Togo's putting the dick down on him.
14:40Yeah.
14:41The Evil's tag team partner in this is Don Falle, not Dick Togo.
14:46It doesn't seem to matter here as...
14:51Well, Web Shizuno is down right now.
14:52Magic Killer.
14:53Oh. Oh, Magic Killer.
14:55Yeah.
14:56I don't know where that comes from.
14:59Then on the other end of it and...
15:03Oh. Nice save.
15:05I don't know. I didn't think Dave had room to come and make the save like that.
15:09Even as he's taken.
15:11Yeah, absolutely. Just barely. And it looks like...
15:15We're gonna have Evil and Don Falle joining Bolton and Yano at the top of the table here.
15:21That's it. That's it.
15:22Darkness falls. Darkness falls. And...
15:25Oh, kicked out.
15:26Come on, Evil.
15:29Come on, Evil.
15:30Come on, Evil.
15:31Come on, Evil.
15:32Come on, Evil.
15:33Come on, Evil.
15:34Come on, Evil.
15:35Come on, Evil.
15:36Come on, Evil.
15:37Come on, Evil.
15:38Right now, Evil's saying, watch this ref, because he wants to make sure...
15:42The Red Shoes sees what's about to become of Yoda's Suji.
15:47He...
15:48Oh, no, no.
15:49He escaped.
15:50He escaped.
15:51Oh.
15:52Right in the jaw.
15:54Hold up.
15:56And Suji's now finally gotten a bit of a break here.
15:59Gabe Kidd pulling himself.
16:01Foley's up.
16:02Oh, Gabe's up.
16:03Hold her up.
16:04Suji, fire!
16:05Gabe barking at Suji to make the tag.
16:10Evil on the other side.
16:12Gets cleared to...
16:14Gabe's in first.
16:15Gabe's in first.
16:16Gabe's in first.
16:17Two, two, two, three.
16:21Ah!
16:22Ah!
16:23Ah!
16:24Ah!
16:25Ah!
16:26Ah!
16:27Even with that shirt on.
16:28Gabe's got a...
16:29Gabe's got a stick and run here.
16:31Oh, nope.
16:32Can't shoot him off.
16:33He's too big.
16:34Oh, he stopped himself.
16:36Oh!
16:37Don Fales wasn't going to stop himself from hitting that corner.
16:41Don Fales is like a train.
16:42Once it gets going, it's so hard to stop.
16:44Exactly right.
16:45Oh!
16:46Oh!
16:47So this game has a lot of power, a lot of fire.
16:51That's a big ol' head knock and knock.
16:53Oh!
16:54Oh!
16:55Oh!
16:56And...
16:57Oh, it could be a dangerous game.
17:00That's an exposed buckle, but...
17:02Oh!
17:03And then Fale, the back of his head, cracked into that middle.
17:07Steel turnbuckle there.
17:09Shibata style.
17:11Dropkick in the corner.
17:17He's gonna go up top?
17:18No.
17:19Who'd he spit at?
17:20Dick Togo.
17:21Dick Togo.
17:22Of course, who else?
17:23Spit on Dick.
17:24Togo.
17:25Togo.
17:26Go!
17:27One!
17:28Oh!
17:29Just...
17:30Ah!
17:31Togo.
17:32I had a fallout to that, but I'm gonna keep it.
17:35Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:38Hey!
17:39Hey!
17:40Hey!
17:41Hey!
17:42Go back!
17:43Go back!
17:44Go back!
17:45Diony to the next Dick Togo again.
17:50Did Rechus not see that?
17:51Rechus didn't.
17:52Rechus was checking on Fale.
17:54And now Gabe Kidd in No Man's Land.
17:59That freight train connected that time.
18:04Surely not here in Manchester.
18:07Gabe Kidd hung out to dry.
18:10Togo to the second Dick-to-Dick contact.
18:14Just the tips.
18:21Damn Tom Fale, Suci just barely.
18:33What's Fale gonna do here?
18:35I think he's got a mind on the guzzle.
18:38And that would mean pulling out the pin on the grenade for Gabe Kidd.
18:42Gabe trying to fight free.
18:44Oh, the grenade.
18:45Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it.
18:46The grenade, got it.
18:47My goodness, what the?
18:50A thunderstorm inside?
18:51What's going on?
18:52Somebody's taking a hell of a spill into it.
18:58Our cameras haven't caught it.
19:00I guess it was McDo Abe.
19:03Paul Abe has his typical...
19:06Oh, and...
19:07Oh, no.
19:08And Gabe Kidd.
19:09Oh, he's gonna get out of here.
19:10Oh, no, no, no, no.
19:11Oh!
19:12Oh!
19:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:14Don't fall.
19:15Would have been in for Gabe Kidd without doubt.
19:18But instead, Suji and Kidd, these two arch enemies...
19:22Oh!
19:23Too big.
19:25Just too big.
19:26Yeah, but the will and the burning spirit of both of these men too big for even follow-ups.
19:32Evil up from behind.
19:37Down goes Evil.
19:39Double down.
19:42Double down.
19:43Kick.
19:44Punch.
19:45Double aim.
19:46It's all in the mind.
19:47Both the minds combined him with Falle.
19:51What is this?
19:52Oh, I need!
19:53Seiji calling the play.
19:54Oh, I need!
19:55Oh, I need!
20:02Oh.
20:03The Seiji seeder.
20:04Poor Abe.
20:05To his fourth or fifth beating of the night.
20:10But Falle is left alone between Suji and Gabe.
20:16Oh!
20:17Down he goes.
20:18Mario's down.
20:19Gabe Kidd is up.
20:20Oh, that's it.
20:21How's the hell of a combo right there?
20:22Big win.
20:23Big win.
20:24Big win.
20:25Big win.
20:26Big win.
20:27Big win.

20:58Big win.
20:59Big win.
21:00Big win.
21:01Big win.
21:02But also a lot of pride, personal pride, personal jealousy between these two.
21:09But they've been able to cast it aside.
21:14A hell of a combination.
21:17They had each other's backs right where they needed it.
21:20And Game Gear and Yonisuke had their first points on the board.
21:23What's that old saying? The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
21:32Game Gear and Yonisuke will join a big old stack at two points at the end of the night.
21:38Don Fale and Evil stay at two as they're defeated.
21:41Nishimon, Kojima and Taichi, Maloney and Shingo, Ishikawa, Despert all at two points.
21:47It'll be Maloney and Takagi facing Evil Fale next Wednesday in Sapporo.
21:53And Fale and Tsuji will be the other side of the House of Torture.
22:06Kwon, Chase Owens, and Yujo will be next beneath to it.
22:12Coming up in 48 hours time.
22:16Get the mute button ready.
22:18Gay Kid has the microphone.
22:19Uh-oh.
22:19Give him a little mic check on his noggin.
22:26Machida, we get active.
22:29Machida, we get lit.
22:31It's Yurisuke and Game Shit.
22:33We run this shit.
22:37Yeah.

22:42Yo, we started off on the wrong foot.
22:46But this right here, this right here,
22:48that's Jordan and Kobe,
22:50that's Pele and Maradona.
22:52If you're talking Shinny on ProRes,
22:55you're talking Yota, Suji, and Gabe fucking Kick.
23:05Suji, please.
23:07Oh, we apologize.
23:16We apologize.
23:18Yeah, Yota, Suji still has.
23:21A croaky voice.
23:25Thanks to Shingo Takagi's pumping vomit.
23:26He wants to tell us, he wants to ask us if we're all ready, but he's going to have
23:39to ask Gabe King to do Yota Tsuji's catchphrase.
23:44Gabe King, we're calling him Yota Homma these days.
23:52Yota Tsuji's catchphrase.
23:59Listen, a lot of people love talking, love getting on the net and chatting shit, it doesn't
24:06make sense for Gabe Kid and Yota Tsuji, no, maybe it doesn't, we're two very fucking different
24:13people, but we're united by one thing, by one thing, it's to make this place the best
24:20in the fucking world, this place for the past few years, man like House of Torture, fucking
24:26pussies, they want to turn it to a joke, nah, we ain't bringing it back to Ni Sen, Ju Kunen,

24:55World fire is ever out of Gabe Kid, I've never had a lot of words, had a decision as well,
25:12well, a little bit more of a loss for words, thanks to the throat, we're gonna hope that
25:17that throat gets fixed, because the DB's club gets a question, he's gonna have to say what?
25:24He's gonna be the man around here, a.k.a. Yodosuji successful here, we thank you for joining us,
25:34we'll stick around, or I will at least, to hear that there's words on tape from Yodosuji
25:39to translate, but you'll be more, less words on tape, more sort of croaks on tape, you know?
25:48A little bit of talk, though. A little bit of talk like this.
25:51You can make a stable of the greatest, croakiest wrestlers past and present.
25:56Tomoaki on the Genojo tenure, Yodosuji.
26:02I told you, man, we get this shit.
26:04Here, Joe and Jace Owens, suddenly with Gabe Kid's mood and he drives it.

27:30The only thing I will say, with this voice that I have, I'll try and conserve it
27:37and only say that me and Gabe Kid are winning well tagly.
27:41Thanks, Chase and Yujiro.
27:42Shit, I might start drinking again after that one.
27:44I might start drinking again after that one.
27:46to the point and never at a loss for words is Gabe Kidd there you see the A block standings
27:53Toriano and Bolton Oleg alone at the top four points then we got a big old mash mash at two
27:59Bishamon, Desperado and Ishikawa, Tsuji and Gabe Kidd, Shingo and Drill and Maloney, Evil and
28:05Dom Fale are all at two points, Yujiro Takahashi and Chase Owens at the bottom of the block at
28:11zero and we will see how they fare so they will have tag team previews coming up tomorrow
28:19night in Fukushima for those A block teams and they will throw down Wednesday night when
28:25we're with you on NJPW World in Sendai Sun Plaza where it will be Bishamon facing Bolton and
28:34Yano and it's a difficult team on both sides, a difficult match to call there, Tsuji and
28:39Gabe Kidd have Chase Owens and Yujiro as we said, Shingo Takagi and Drill and Maloney will
28:44be taking on Fale and Evil and there we see on the other side of the table they've only
28:51had one match wrestled so it's a case of the haves and the have nots over in B block, Lance
28:56Archer and Alex Zane, Zack Sabre Jr. Ryohei Oiwa, David Finlay and Hiromi Takahashi and
29:02Shotsu Umino and Yuya Uemura on the haves side as opposed to the have nots but it will be a battle
29:07at the top of the table for undefeated teams that's going to headline Tuesday night, that's
29:13tomorrow, Niohei Oiwa and Zack Sabre Jr. facing Yuya Uemura and Shotsu Umino, only one of those
29:19two teams will be at the top of the heap coming out of action Tuesday. So we're going to keep
29:25on rolling all the way through World Tag League, every match, every moment, live in English
29:29right here on NJPW World. I will be looping back round so you'll hear from me at the finals
