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

01:39BLOCKS

01:43Battle Brack

01:46Battle Brack

01:50Battle Brack

01:52Battle Brack

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.
