00:00Devil in the barrel of a six-shot draw, if it's good for one, yeah, it's good for all, come on.

00:15Baby, I'm a long star, we're at long.

00:23Well, wrestling fans, we are set to get started here tonight with Block A competition.

00:27My name is Walker Stewart, we are live once again on NJPW World.

00:31I'm being joined here tonight by the Prince himself, Callum Newman.

00:35Callum, welcome to the booth.

00:36Hello, sunshine, do you want a fun fact?

00:38Give me a fun fact.

00:40Chase sings this song.

00:41Does he sing this song?

00:42Tell me I'm wrong.

00:43Well, I don't doubt it.

00:45There we go.

00:57It is the Lone Star Outlaw, Chase Owens, alongside Yujiro Takahashi.

01:03Zero points on the board, walking into their third match in Block A competition.

01:09Ha, losers.

01:11All the fire in the world to be felt here tonight.

01:39felt here tonight in our opening block A matchup here, Callum.

01:43Gabe Kidd and Yodosuji have promised themselves the world,

01:47claimed they have been destined for it

01:49since the moment they first laced up a pair of boots.

01:53That's a pretty much.

01:54Well, Yodosuji's going to get his opportunity

01:57to show it off in what could be the main event of the Tokyo

02:00Dope, a double title matchup against Kinosuke

02:03Takesita, the World Heavyweight title

02:05and the Global Heavyweight Championship, both up for grabs.

02:08But for Gabe Kidd, his only shot of any championship gold

02:12in the direct future, it has to come alongside Tsuji.

02:16It has to be in this World Tag League.

02:18That's a lot of pressure on both men heading into Tokyo Dope season.

02:21Fair play.

02:23I didn't realize they liked each other that much.

02:25Yeah, well, Gabe Kidd and Yodosuji, a relationship dating back

02:28all the way to Tsuji's excursion.

02:31Made a brief stopover in Rev Pro, stayed in Gabe Kidd's parents'

02:35household.

02:36Did he?

02:37Yes, he did, and that was the first time

02:40Kidd and Tsuji ever had to talk about what their visions of New

02:43Japan Pro Wrestling looked like.

02:45Very similar ideas of what they want Pro Wrestling to be, but with

02:49their own names at the top of it.

02:50Game Kidd!

02:52IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion Gene Blaster Zizi Yodosuji!

03:09All the talk about Destiny, Callum, all the talk about what's to call it the Tokyo Dome

03:20aside, it is now blockade competition we get into here, and it is Gabe Kidd and Yodosuji

03:26two points on the board taking on it, Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi, and nothing to

03:31show for it on the side of House of Torture.

03:39Man, we are going to soon feel out how we get this one started here right now, it looks

03:44like Chase Owens taking the lead in the blue corner, Gabe Kidd in the red.

03:48Sure, that's wise?

03:49Yeah, well, we're going to see about that, bell sounds, we're underway, one fall 30 minute

03:53time limit, and it was post-match comments 24 hours ago in Fukushima, Gabe Kidd talking

04:00up a storm about his thoughts on Chase Owens, and well, you know, Gabe Kidd has always had

04:04his thoughts about Chase, even when Chase was part of the same faction as Gabe Kidd, as a

04:08member of the War Dogs, Kidd always said, Owens was the weakest member of Bullet Club,

04:13always the weakest link as a War Dog, but it was Kidd who flashed back to G1 Climax 33 just

04:19about two years ago at this rate, his first G1 Climax competition, Chase Owens putting

04:25down Gabe Kidd one-on-one in singles competition, Kidd says, no matter how many championships I

04:30win, tournaments I compete in, so on and so forth, you never really shake a loss to someone

04:34as low as Chase Owens.

04:35He lost the, he lost the Chase?

04:38Yeah, well.

04:39Wow, I don't believe it.

04:40Yeah, you like to bring that up, Will Ospreay likes to bring that up, you remember the build

04:45matchup, always a point of contention. It was Gabe Kidd and Yoda Tsuji who have guaranteed

04:54victory tonight over House of Torture, and right now as the record is shown, man, oh my.

04:58A little double busting, actually.

05:00Yeah.

05:01Oh, there.

05:02Two ends to the same playing field, and Yudro Takahashi going right to the eyes here on

05:07it. Gabe Kidd and Yoda Tsuji. I gotta ask you while you're in the booth, I mean, it's time

05:11for a little hard questioning on your end. I mean, House of Torture, I mean, we've long

05:15said that the House of Torture style, the tactics, the going to the eyes, the cheating,

05:20bringing other members to ringside so they can interfere. What the hell happened yesterday

05:24in Fukushima?

05:25What bit?

05:27Jacob Austin Young is what I'm talking about, helping you and Okan put two points

05:31on the board.

05:32I don't know, he's just doing his own thing, man.

05:33Oh, come on.

05:34Ain't up to me. I'm not the leader.

05:35Oh, well, yeah, that's true.

05:37I don't care what happens to everyone else.

05:39Oh, come on.

05:40Ain't my job telling him what to do. I'm not his dad or his mom.

05:43Well, all right.

05:44I'm not even his auntie.

05:45Oh, okay.

05:46Did you tell him?

05:47I bet you paid him off.

05:48I didn't tell him anything.

05:49I'm just as confused as everyone right now, and apparently you are too.

05:52Mate, all I did was jump on the geezers.

05:56Jumped on the geezers' head.

05:57That's all I did.

05:58Well, good lord.

06:00Either way, there's certainly been an added edge of aggression on the side of United Empire.

06:05It put two points on the board up for y'all just about yesterday, 24 hours ago.

06:10It'll be two days from now where...

06:12Why don't you mention that first?

06:13Oh, yeah, you won.

06:14No, we always got to go to something negative, don't we, Walker?

06:17Oh, come on.

06:19All right.

06:20Well, we'll keep our eyes on the in-ring action, by the way, and all the negative in the world

06:24for Yudro Takahashi, that weird chin lock right now, and going right into the eyes of

06:29the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion in Yoda Tsuji.

06:32And a cover here for Yudro.

06:43One more attempt, and headbutt down right to the chest of Tsuji.

06:47Cover one more time, and still a two count only.

06:50You know, you take a look at histories of World Tag Leagues this tournament, dating back

06:55to the year of 2012.

06:57I mean, what were you doing back in 2012?

06:59I was 10 years old.

07:01Right.

07:02You and I both, actually.

07:03Yeah, probably playing with Lego, maybe.

07:04Lego?

07:05Let's play Minecraft.

07:06Nah, I'm still probably playing with Lego now.

07:08I got the Gremlins Lego the other day.

07:11Did you?

07:12Yes, massive, mate.

07:13Oh, good lord.

07:14I've got to fill out the new apartment.

07:16Oh, my.

07:17I got the Game Boy Lego set, actually.

07:18Ooh, come on.

07:19Chase Owens and Yudro Takahashi.

07:22A lot of experience, though, when it comes to World Tag League competition.

07:25I mean, Yudro dating back to the first ever World Tag League alongside Masato Tanaka in

07:302012, if you can believe it or not.

07:32Oh, yeah.

07:33Litany of partners, AJ Styles, Hangman Page.

07:35And now, in 2025, Chase Owens.

07:37I mean, this is one of the most experienced teams you're going to find in the tournament,

07:40is the point we're talking about here.

07:42Yeah, say what you want about Chase.

07:43He's very technically gifted.

07:45Even that, technical ability.

07:48Yeah.

07:49Chase is on it.

07:50Cover here for Yudro and a two count only.

07:53I mean, talk about it all the time when it comes to Chase Owens.

07:59Chase Owens, a trainee out in Tennessee underneath the legendary Rock and Roll Express won half

08:04of it in Ricky Morton.

08:05And it's really, really difficult to train under a legendary tag team wrestler of the

08:09territory days like Ricky Morton and not walk out at least halfway decent as a tag team wrestler.

08:14Chase Owens beyond that.

08:15Yeah, it's the same for Chase.

08:16Chase Owens beyond that.

08:17Well, hold on a minute.

08:18Okay.

08:19Yudro now.

08:20Yeah!

08:21Boom!

08:22And a big boom.

08:23Oh, my God.

08:24Under the jaw of Tsuji.

08:25Cover here for Yudro.

08:27Two count only.

08:29Frequent tags here.

08:30The mark of great tag team wrestling.

08:31And Chase Owens, the Lone Star Outlaw, back into action here.

08:44You gotta talk about a lot of frustration, a lot of pressure on the shoulders of Tsuji

08:51specifically.

08:52Global heavyweight champion.

08:53Number one contender to the world title.

08:55Nearly putting New Japan Pro Wrestling on his back in the main event of the Tokyo Dome.

08:59And not just that, but also trying to do his damnedest to win World Tag League.

09:03I mean, if you win World Tag League, then you gotta worry about every single division

09:06on the whole roster.

09:07I think he's done that the whole time he's been here.

09:10I'll give Tsuji his flowers.

09:12Yeah, well, we heard it from Yoda Tsuji.

09:17We'll see if we can get out of Gabe Kidd as well.

09:23Gabe Kidd looking to avenge that G-133 loss in one-on-one action to Chase Owens,

09:28the man he's always called the weakest link of the War Dogs.

09:31Now, well, a dangerous force in House of Torture.

09:35Gabe Kidd now misdirected.

09:43Provides one more.

09:44Ooh.

09:45Chase Owens.

09:46Up and over into the buckle.

09:48And that double palm right back down.

09:50Gabe Kidd.

09:51You never really know what's going through the mind of Gabe Kidd.

09:56I don't think I really want to know, to be honest with you.

10:01Yes, Kidd.

10:02Watch it.

10:03Exploder suplex on Owens.

10:05Get that cover, man.

10:06Cover here on Gabe Kidd one more time, too.

10:15Oh, look at this.

10:16Exposes the demon.

10:17Straight away.

10:18That Oni.

10:19Oni!

10:20Out of the corner.

10:21Owens captures him, though.

10:22Ooh.

10:23Maybe a little bit too confident.

10:24Yeah.

10:25Again, he's saying he apparently lost to Chase in a G-1.

10:29Oh, Jesus.

10:30Oh, okay.

10:31Now slowly believing it.

10:34Now you're starting to see how and why the kid has made leaps and bounds in the last

10:38two years of his career.

10:39There's no doubt about it.

10:40Let's see if it's been enough to put down Chase or Yudro.

10:43Here comes Tsuji.

10:44There's a cover here for Tsuji and a two count again.

11:02You heard how Tsuji sounds like Honda now?

11:14I did hear that a little bit.

11:16Poor guy.

11:17It is two points Tsuji and Kidd.

11:25Nothing on the board for Yudro and Chase as that's hand and mouth disease from Yudro Takahashi.

11:31And a drop down there, on the inverted DDT.

11:34Yudro.

11:37Yudro!

11:38Yudro, yudro, packaged in, Yudro-Stuji-

11:53Yoda Tsuji, right on the button there, that knee to Tsuji.

11:58Top of the knee.

11:59And again.

12:00Where's he grabbing the, there we go.

12:05Come on, Callum, don't pretend you're above this.

12:08I saw Jake Boston Young do this earlier on in your match.

12:11Yeah, but I've got the bottle just to use my hands.

12:12I don't use anything else.

12:14Come on.

12:15Well, here's Udrow now.

12:17Well, now the hand in the mouth of Gabe Kidd,

12:20Owens trying to help out his partner takes a chuck out of the skull of Owens.

12:24Watch Kidd and Tsuji here.

12:33Tag Team Synergy at its finest.

12:36Ooh.

12:42Kidd on the rebound, once the Lariat missed out for Udrow.

12:45Hey, hey, hey.

12:47And again.

12:48Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

12:50Super kick from Tsuji.

12:52Owens taking out as well.

12:54Here we go.

12:55Here we go.

12:56Watch it.

12:56Now they're cooking.

12:57It could be here.

12:58Oh, my God.

13:00War Blaster.

13:02The War Blaster for the win.

13:05Four points on the board.

13:07For Tsuji and Kidd.

13:09Tsuji, don't enjoy this.

13:12Go, it's right.

13:14So, he's doing it.

13:16It was tomorrow.

13:16It's the fact that the level of Tsuji is a match,

13:18and I'm happy to do this.

13:20He's doing it.

13:21Where's my four kids from here?

13:22And this one's playing a match.

13:24What's up?

13:25Oh, it's a match.

13:28four points on the board here in Block A tonight.

13:32A victory over Chase Owens and Yutro Takahashi.

13:45Well, Callum, we still got a lot,

13:46and I mean a lot of tournament left to go.

13:49Yeah, we do.

13:50You're gonna be making your way to Albori Akira soon as well.

13:53We're gonna be in bear country.

13:54Come on, don't stop me on the bears, man.
