00:00Welcome to the house of torture
00:30Well, wrestling fans very similarly to how United Empire stole away a victory
00:41Last night in Fukushima, a very house of torture inspired way
00:46Well, Sonata and Red Narita reading from their own playbook last night as well
00:51185kg, Kanemaru, Yoshinobu
00:57We'll stand alongside Yoshinobu Kanemaru here tonight as Sonata and Red Narita walk in at two points on the board
01:03A victory over the Knockout Brothers defeating the IWGP Tag Team Championship
01:09A sold out Red Narita, the cold-blooded Snake Sonata, and a master strategist in Yoshinobu Kanemaru

01:55Well, if there's any indication just with the type of in-ring competition we're going to be seeing all throughout this tournament
02:02You look no further to the battle fought in our main event just yesterday, Fukushima won out by these two teams
02:09Gentlemen, we're talking Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oewa of TMDK.
02:13Leading Block B alongside Finlay and Hiromu.
02:16Four points on the board this early in the game.
02:22And it is always a treat to see Big Jack back here at Sendai.
02:39You know, there's this idea in professional wrestling, wrestling fans.
02:56If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to find a way to stand out.
03:00And stand out in a way that no one else is even going to attempt to within your jurisdiction.
03:04Zack Sabre Jr. has managed to do that as, standing here today, the greatest technical wrestler active in pro wrestling overall.
03:13House of Torture has managed to stand out in a much more negative way.
03:17A way that is involved cheating.
03:20A way that is involved a bending of the rule set.
03:24Well, let's not pretend Zack Sabre Jr. is above doing the same thing.
03:28And is not afraid of imparting that same wisdom on a young Ryohei Oewa.
03:31One fall 20-minute time limit here.
03:35It is to preview what is to come 48 hours from now in Aomori.
03:39It is Zack Sabre Jr., Ryohei Oewa against Sonata and Ren Narita.
03:44Let's talk all about the relationship between these two men.
03:46There has always been a deep, deep-rooted respect for Zack Sabre Jr. to Sonata.
03:52But if there is anything that has tested the respect that Sabre Jr. has had for Sonata,
03:56more than anything, it has been Sonata's entrance into the house.
04:00It is one thing to betray your friends and just five guys.
04:05It is another to betray the War Dogs.
04:07But to betray the War Dogs and become a member of the most hated unit in New Japan Pro Wrestling,
04:12to become a member of House of Torture, the lowest of the low by Zack Sabre Jr.'s own admission.
04:17Oh, well.
04:18There is another thing coming for him here.
04:20Covering only a two-count on Sabre Jr. to Sonata tonight.
04:24Oh, but we're going to cut things off before they can even really get started here as Sonata.
04:32There's one thing Sabre did not have to worry about the last time he faced off against Sonata
04:36in a high-profile situation.
04:38House of Torture lurking at ringside as Katamaru sends Sabre right into the ropes,
04:44or rather, right into the barricade.
04:45Oyoa is going to feature the same problem here.
04:51We've seen a lot of high-profile battles for Sonata and Zack Sabre Jr.
04:56Most notably, most recently, that was that Royal Quest matchup last year,
04:59just off the bat of Sabre Jr.'s victory for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
05:04Now, over a year down the line, Sonata has made the finals of last year's World Tag League,
05:10losing out alongside Gabe Kidd, has switched factions multiple times,
05:13and now stands opposite Zack Sabre Jr. and Riohei Oyoa as a part of the lowest of the low.
05:23Sonata, again, going to send Sabre to the outside,
05:26and we know exactly what this is for, to try and go in Sabre Jr.
05:30Would love to hit a low blow on those ropes.
05:32That's going to be legal because, well, it's not going to be Sonata's foot
05:36hitting the in-betweens of Sabre Jr.
05:39It's the bottom rope, or rather, the middle rope.
05:42And before we get there, of course, Katamaru and Marina,
05:45yeah, going to use that steel chair.
05:48Sonata, well, trying to take the attention away from referee Sakamoto.
05:52Riohei Oyoa, waiting and wait, would love to make a tag here.
05:56And instead, it's going to be Katamaru who finds his way into the ring.
06:02Katamaru, a wealth of experience, is a tag team wrestler multiple times.
06:10GHC Jr. Heavyweight and IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champion.
06:14Cover here for Katamaru, and a two-count only.
06:17Unsuccessful in this year's Super Junior Tag League, however, just about a month ago.
06:21And instead, it is going to be Brent Narita who finds his way into the fold.
06:29Cover here for Narita on Sabre, and a two-count only.
06:34And a lot of history between these two men as well.
06:36I mean, you start to see it, Sabre Jr. kind of becoming a focal point for the house,
06:41at least when it comes to Narita and Sonata's experiences.
06:44And that partially comes to Riohei Oyoa being, well, just a spry bit newer
06:49to the New Japan Pro Wrestling landscape.
06:54Sabre Jr. sent off the ropes here, but going to capture in on Ren Narita.
06:59And that is going to be advantageous.
07:02Narita turns things around, though, and we are flashing back to 2023.
07:05The Tokyo Dome, where we crown the first-ever NJPW World Television Champion.
07:11And you are looking right at him in Sabre Jr., the man that he put down in that
07:15tournament final, none other than Ren Narita himself.
07:18All right, Sabre Jr. is gonna take the timeout.
07:22Here comes Riohei Oyoa out of the red corner.
07:24Oh, what a huge crossbody from Hartley Jackson.
07:44Let's go!
07:45Okay.
07:47Jackson and Oyoa here, crisscrossing the paths up,
07:54and we'd love to see it one more time.
07:57There, we got it.
07:57Sonata and Narita once again, skipping up, slamming down.
08:03And it is, like father, like son, Oyoa with a senton.
08:08Papa Jack follows in.
08:10Cover here for Oyoa again, and it is just two.
08:24And Sonata going to come in and turn things around.
08:31Well, but Hartley Jackson not one to be turned right around,
08:36upside down, or anywhere in between.
08:38Oh, but talk about the in-betweens.
08:41Oh, well.
08:42Sonata with a low blow, and it's all legal.
08:45Thanks to referee Sakamoto's incompetence here.
08:48There's Narita now gonna put the choke in on Oyoa.
08:54Here comes Kanemaru, your legal man at this point.
08:56Sakamoto called that tag out of the corner.
08:59Here comes Oyoa.
09:00And Narita to follow in on the grip of TMDK.
09:05Kanemaru for the cover, and for the win, two count once again.
09:13Oh, it's Kanemaru, oh, continuously trying to do whatever he can
09:24to power up the grip, but Oyoa has the grip in.
09:27Small package, cover, cover, two.
09:30And Oyoa with the shoulder tackle again.
09:34Ryohei Oyoa runs that Tenzan suplex.
09:50Ryohei Tenzan, one of the greatest tag team wrestlers we've ever seen in
09:53New Japan pro wrestling.
09:55And a hell of an inspiration here for Oyoa, but watch out now.
09:59Everyone's hit the ring.
10:00And Narita, that steel push-up bar into the gut of Oyoa.
10:04Meanwhile, Sakamoto trying to deal with Sonata and a guitar.
10:07But Sabre Jr. adds Narita all on his lonesome.
10:14Oh, and now, wait a minute, Kanemaru.
10:18Missed to the sky, boy, cover.
10:23Cover for Oyoa.
10:25And a free count.
10:27The grip from Ryohei Oyoa fights the win.
10:31And a victory here tonight for TMDK's Ryohei Oyoa, Zack Sabre Jr. and Hartley Jackson.
10:41And, well, Jackson is a gutsy, gutsy man to be drinking out of that bottle, especially after
10:47Kanemaru.
10:49And a victory here tonight for TMDK's Ryohei Oyoa, Zack Sabre Jr. and Hartley Jackson.
10:54And, well, Jackson is a gutsy, gutsy man to be drinking out of that bottle, especially after
11:00Kanemaru.
11:00Wow, wait a minute, wait a minute, what the hell's going on here?
11:22Well, United Empire and now House of Torture follow in the same way, too.
11:28This is absolutely egregious.
11:30Young lions are going everywhere.
11:33Ren Narita putting the attack in on Ryohei Oyoa, but what for?
11:36Why this?
11:37Why now?
11:38Oh, come on.
11:40Damn it.
11:41Oh, that left knee of Ryohei Oyoa being pulverized by Sonata and Ren Narita here, and here comes
11:57Sabre Jr.
11:58Anything to get the advantage heading in to November 28th, it is what we are set for.
12:16Our semi-main event of the evening in Almaty, Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oyoa have four points.
12:21Battles House of Torture, Sonata, and Ren Narita sitting in at two.
12:24You have to wonder what the state of Ryohei Oyoa's left knee is going to be at like this
12:45right now.
12:46He's got for those steel chairs.
12:5448 hours of recovery time to come the way for Ryohei Oyoa and certainly a lot of visits
13:01to Dr. Hayashi in the trainer's room.
13:04We're going to move right on and in to your final preview tag team matchup of the evening,
13:09and I cannot wait to see Tanahashi L.P. and Murashima take out and look on to the knockout
13:14brothers in Daikinigai.
13:15and here in Daikinigai.
