00:30Katsuya Morishima, the attendant for the Ace of the Universe, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
00:43And the individual who will stand alongside two World Tag League competitors,
00:48your NJPW World Television Champion, El Phantasmo and Hiroshi Tanahashi.
00:53But yet another loss in the books for Tana and LP.
00:57Tanahashi saying in post-match comments just 24 hours ago,
01:01he's seen plenty of comebacks from this position.
01:040-2 in the league right now. Let's see if that changes in our morning.
01:07The Headpacker, E-N-P!
01:14In time of the last 39 days, 181cm, 101kg Tanahashi, Hiroshi!
01:31Less than 50 days left in the career for the Ace of the Universe, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
01:40And on that final night of this illustrious career that we have walked the path for the
01:52for over 20 years, it will be Hiroshi Tanahashi battling Kazuchika Okada one-on-one in the Tokyo Dome.

02:32Well, two brothers...
02:59bound by blood, bound by combat.
03:02And bound by their love for the gold is the IWGP Tag Team Champions
03:06who sit in a less than favorable position,
03:09but an even one opposite LP and Tanahashi.
03:12Night Taiki!
03:17Standing alongside the Knockout Brothers, Young Lion Taiki Naga.
03:24It was Oscar and Yuta Ice who fell to their opposition
03:29in Red Narita and Sonata 24 hours ago, all by the cheating ways.
03:34It was every acoustic guitar shot, every steel push-up bar in the world
03:39that saw Oscar and Ice fall and now drop a second league match in a row.
03:44No points on the board for the reigning IWGP Tag Team Champions.
03:59The Ballet Club World Dots IWGP Tag Champions Team
04:162m1cm 125kg
04:19Osuka!
04:25180cm 113kg
04:30Yuto Ice
04:36Knockout Brothers
04:40It is our final preview tag team match of the evening.
04:55Hiroshi Tanahashi, El Phantasmo, and Young Lion Katsuya Morishima alongside,
05:02taking on the Knockout Brothers and Daikinaga.
05:07And I, for one, know for a fact that things are far from over between Yuto Ice and Hiroshi Tanahashi,
05:16as far as Ice concerns himself, lost out to Tanahashi in singles competition back in Anjo.
05:21That was right before World Tag League kicked off this year for New Japan Road.
05:27And while Yuto Ice would receive a few less-than-kind words of encouragement,
05:32well, at the end of things, it would be not Yuto Ice's name that anyone would be talking about,
05:37but rather upstaged by Anjo's own Kazuchika Okada,
05:41laying out the challenge to Hiroshi Tanahashi for January 4th, 2026.
05:46Now that match is set in the Tokyo Dome.
05:48Meanwhile, Yuto Ice feeling like maybe he's been left behind in the mind of Tanahashi
05:52a little bit earlier than anyone would have anticipated.
05:55And meanwhile, for Oscar and Tanahashi, or rather Ice and Tanahashi,
06:03it's going to be Oscar and El Phantasmo, who do battle here tonight.
06:07We are talking the Vancouver native versus the German monster that is Oscar.
06:13As, yeah, look at this.
06:14A monstrous athletic ability out of El Phantasmo versus the monstrous size of Oscar.
06:20In every single way, these two men are polar opposites of one another.
06:23We're going to go!
06:25Now, Oscar, in a bad, bad way right now, falling underneath El Phantasmo's fist.
06:33Here's the windup and the pitch.
06:38And a strike thrown by El Phantasmo here.
06:43Oscar not exactly one to concern himself with baseball.
06:48You're going to see what Oscar can manage to pull out here on the NJPW World Television Champion,
06:52a singles champion in a tag team tournament.
06:55And at every single standing, I mean, Tanahashi and LP, Oscar and Ice, these two men,
07:00these two teams rather, completely on even terms when it comes to point scoring.
07:05Zero points on the board for the Knockout Brothers and for Tanahashi and LP as well.
07:10This is going to be our main event to come in Almori.
07:13And in Almori, it is nearly guaranteed that one team will be putting points on the board by the end.
07:23And here comes Young Lion taking it out.
07:30Young Lion, the guy trying to do what he can to prove himself worthy now,
07:34not just for the unaffiliated, but for the War Dogs as well.
07:37And really, it's Oscar and Ice who have been a little slower out of any other member of the War Dogs
07:42by comparison to take well to the unaffiliated.
07:45That by comparison to men like Gabe Kidd, Drill and Maloney,
07:48who are having a time in their life, teaming alongside their respective partners in Tsuji and Takagi.
07:53And now, well, the Knockout Brothers trying to figure things out with Daikin and Guy,
07:57figure things out with members of the unaffiliated.
07:59It's just not something that's come easy to Yuta Ice whatsoever.
08:03The idea of making friends.
08:07We are not here to make friends, and we are certainly making a lot of enemies in the process.
08:12Yuta Ice, a huge kick to the chest on El Phantasma.
08:15And continuing every single shot,
08:24Sabat kick right on the back way.
08:26And listen to the call-out, loud and proud in Sendai.
08:29And a bomboklat knee in Sendai tonight on Phantasma.
08:42Cover here again, two count only.
08:45Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
09:01Back and forth, cover, cover.
09:03Two count only on either side.
09:05And it is Yuta and LP who preview the catch in the call in El Mori.
09:10The fumble clap, Insigiri, out of El Phantasma.
09:16Going to clear the path in the red corner.
09:18Here comes the ace of the universe.
09:20Here comes Hiroshi Tanahashi.
09:22And Tanahashi not in a mood to, well, fool around in any bit of way.
09:30It is a time to put points on the board.
09:32An urgency to be felt on both sides here.
09:35You got to soak in your last time here in Sendai.
09:43Tanahashi battles it out with Oscar and Yuta Ice.
09:46And they're scooping a slam here on ice.
09:50Tanahashi hitting the classics.
09:53Tana on the middle rope.
09:57Senton crashes in on Yuta Ice.
10:01Cover here for Tanahashi.
10:03And a two count only.
10:05One, two, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, four, three, four.
10:14Tana calling for the end to come sooner than later.
10:17Sling blade inbound, Yuta underneath.
10:19Oh, shit.
10:21Oh, Harite.
10:24But a straight right from Yuta.
10:26Yeah, yeah.
10:29That's a jaw adjustment from Yuta Ice to the Ace.
10:33Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out, watch, watch, Yuta.
10:39Yuta now out of the corner, snake blade from Tanahashi.
10:43And Tagsman on both sides, here comes Young Ryan Daikinagai, here comes Katsuya Morishima.
11:01Yeah, Murashima, a wealth of power in that smaller frame.
11:13But the guy, that huge dropkick, well placed and right on the money here.
11:19And a guy trying to follow up in a big way, no monkey business.
11:27Monkey flip out of the corner.
11:28And he scrambles for the pin, cover again.
11:33And a two count only from Daikinagai tonight.
11:37It is our final preview tag team match of the evening.
11:40We preview the main event to come in Almonte.
11:4348 hours from now, November 28th, someone has got to put points on the board.
11:51Oh, but Murashima stealing a point or two away from the height department of Nagai.
11:57And Murashima pulling it right through his opposition.
12:01Gonna call a play here to LP now.
12:05Hey, come on, grab, grab, grab.
12:08Yeah, yeah.
12:21And watch this.
12:23Daikinagai nearly in a world of trouble.
12:25Open palm there from Nagai.
12:28Off the ropes, and a sudden shot there from El Phantasmo.
12:32And Murashima looking to put it away, stampede, stampede for Murashima.
12:40Cover here on the guy, could it, would it, it is, no.
12:45Whoa.
12:53Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:01Well, a tag mate here for Oscar in the corner.
13:03Steps right through and takes an immediate shot in on the ace.
13:06Oh, Murashima, these two men shared their due time in the no-gay dojo.
13:15Murashima was on his way up, Oskar was on his way out,
13:19and Oskar still on his way up, it seems.
13:23As Murashima has got to be careful here.
13:27That sleeper hold, Oskar is going to drop him in.
13:31And a cover.
13:34It's over.
13:36Sleeper Slam puts it away.
13:39Wait a minute, things are still happening on the outside.
13:50Tanahashi and Ice, Ace and Ice going out of here.
13:54No, no, no, no, we got to do something to separate this,
13:59get Yasuna in there, get Saint Jay in there.
14:02Nice.
14:04Oh, Tanahashi and Ice, these are going to be two men that you are going to want to keep your eye on.
14:08It's our main event in Almaty on November 28th.
14:20Oh, wait a minute, we're not done. We're not done by a long shot.
14:24Good lord, we're not done.
14:26Let's get this one back now.
14:28Let's get this one back now.
14:30Let's get this one back inside the ring.
14:55Let's get a bell sounded, let's keep this one going.
14:58Tanahashi and Ice one more time, I wanna see it.
15:02Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
15:10And Ice with a huge headbutt, a straight right crack to the jaw of Tanahashi.
15:16This isn't even a matchup, it's an all out slugfest.
15:22A war heading into our main event now, Moni.
15:25Tanahashi, Tanahashi, Tanahashi, Tanahashi, Tanahashi!
15:43He's gonna kill you.
15:53Yes.
15:58Go go champion.
16:01Fantasmo and
16:04Tanahashi have hopes of championship gold when all is said and done.
16:08We're gonna see how the IWGP team
16:13tag team champions fair against Tanahashi and El Phantasmo.
16:18Could it be one final streak of gold for
16:22the ace of the universe before the end of his career?
