01:00It is now time for the third league matchup for United Empire in this year's World Tag League.
01:07And the fire continues to burn brighter and brighter in the bodies of Great O'Connor and Calum Newman.
01:15As Newman has certainly been a very, very vocal one as of recent.
01:19We're going to talk all about the words of Calum Newman and Great O'Connor.
01:25We're going to talk all about the state of the Empire because the Empire may be in jeopardy if this year's World Tag League does not come to fruition for these two.
01:33United Empire, The Prince, Han-Yu-Man!
01:40Fate of Grand Order Sponsor,並びに G-Score Ambassador, Dominator, Great O'Connor!
01:48Oh, there you got to see, right at ringside, Jacob Austin Young making a presence.
02:08And that was a presence that was felt heavily back in Calum Newman and Great O'Connor's fight against Monster Sauce.
02:14The only two points to have on the board.
02:16We'll recap that as we hear Shota Ubinou and Yuya Ubinou make their way down to ringside.
02:50Someone's two will bid adieu by the end of the night.
02:54Uemura and Obito take on Newman and Okan in our second Lock B match of the evening.
03:20Winner and Obito!
03:32Liberty's last three, the last one, Urino and Istana.
03:39Referee Marty Asami to take charge here tonight
03:58as it is Block B competition.
04:01Yugi Uemura and Shota Umino battle United Empire's
04:04Callum Newman and Great Okan,
04:06and Asami better have a very, very watchful eye
04:08on that blue corner.
04:10Especially as far as Jacob Austin Young is concerned.
04:16It was November 25th, night four, back in Fukushima,
04:20the last time that these two teams competed
04:21in Block B competition.
04:24A stellar main event performance for Shota Umino
04:27and Yugi Uemura against TMDK's Ryohei Oya and Zack Sabre Jr.
04:32A match that ended in a loss, but a match that showed
04:34just what the best of tag team professional wrestling
04:37can look like, but not the best of Shota Umino.
04:39It's Umino and Yugi Uemura.
04:43Calum Newman and Great Okan on the other end.
04:45Our first Block B match of the night against Monster Sauce ending in a very controversial fashion.
04:49Jacob Austin Young rearing an ugly head where it does not belong
04:53and allowing Newman and Okan to put their first two points up on the board in this year's tournament.
04:59And it was just about a day later, Calum Newman joined me in the English broadcast.
05:05But I question, you know, you can be a detractor of House of Torker.
05:09You can say that you don't like when the House or the War Dogs even for that matter back in the day
05:13cheated as much as they did.
05:15So how do you excuse what we're seeing here between Jacob Austin Young and the rest of the Empire?
05:20Newman said to me, well, I didn't tell him to do that.
05:23No one else told him to do that.
05:24Jacob was just doing what he felt he had to do.
05:26And, well, Newman also not the first to say, hey, I'm going to give those two points back.
05:32How about we restart the matchup?
05:34I want to have a clean end to this one.
05:36Calum Newman just accepted it and saying, okay, well, I guess that's going to be how it is then.
05:40So what?
05:41Are we going to expect it here tonight?
05:42Maybe so.
05:43We've got to keep your eye on Jacob Austin Young in this matchup.
05:49The meanwhile, two points on the board.
05:52Victory over Monster Sauce back on November 25th.
05:55A night and two loss for Calum Newman and Great O'Connor against TMDK as well.
05:59TMDK walking into tonight undefeated.
06:02We'll be seeing them in our semi-main event later on tonight.
06:04Covered here.
06:05Two count only for Yuya Umura.
06:07And this is what I like to see out of Yuya Umura.
06:09Try and keep some flash technicality in the space.
06:12But Calum Newman, long known as the Prince of Pace during his initial stint here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
06:18The fastest heavyweight alive, the fastest pro wrestler alive, Calum Newman will equate himself to be.
06:27Calum Newman, I mean, he knows this himself.
06:28He's joined me in the English booth before there.
06:30There are some very, very fast athletes that we have been on the call put together.
06:35I mean, we talk about Calum Newman and Great O'Connor.
06:39And you almost get this look at these two the way that you start to see members of House of Torture in a sense.
06:44The way that you look at Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi when it comes to desperation right now.
06:49There's desperation in that empire.
06:51You have to know it.
06:51Great O'Connor and Calum Newman making allusions to that.
06:57Well, if World Tag League doesn't go our way in 2025, maybe 2026 is going to be the first year in a long time where there is no United Empire.
07:06Newman looking to forge a new path, whether it be all on his lonesome for United Empire, so on and so forth.
07:16Newman turns that heel around, show to Umano, grounded.
07:20There's the dropkick to Umano.
07:22Takes the shot into Uemura as well.
07:24Two points on the line here tonight.
07:25Someone's two will double up to four by the end of the evening, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
07:34And while there are a lot of circumstances that could have been unforeseen previously, if Jacob Austin Young did not show his true colors.
07:42J.A.Y. saying in post-match comments very, very recently, this is the true dangerous J.
07:47Well, somehow a junior heavyweight who's never competed in this year's tournament could be one of the most lethal weapons in the entire thing.
07:55Tag in the blue corner.
08:05Callum Newman, no shortage of aggression, but great Okan.
08:09There's a longstanding history.
08:11We've revisited a lot in 2025 throughout these two.
08:14That new beginning in Osaka battle.
08:16Great Okan putting down Shoto Umano, forcing a reset.
08:19The beginning of what has now been considered the second chapter of Shoto Umano following the Tokyo Dome earlier this year.
08:25There would be Shoto Umano who would take about a month of action off, make his return back in New Japan Cup in a second-round buy matchup against Great Okan.
08:36Put down Okan in that battle.
08:40That would be a run.
08:41Umano would go on all the way to the final before he'd lose out to David Finley in the end.
08:46One, two, three.
08:50Oh, come on.
08:51And Callum Newman, I mean, that's just absolutely disrespectful.
08:58Tag made in the corner.
09:00Callum Newman now going to take his lick in.
09:02You get Umano out of the red corner.
09:04Callum Newman still trying to keep control here.
09:07And he's going to take his time to do it.
09:09And when you are that fast and you have a speed and agility and athleticism unlike anyone else on the roster,
09:15you can afford to slow things down whenever it benefits you.
09:18You know that you're going to be able to pick up the pace whenever it's called for.
09:22Five minutes down and a 30-minute time limit.
09:49Callum Newman going to make the tag out in the blue corner.
09:51Welcome back, Great Okan.
09:58You know, the way that Great Okan has negatively affected the mental of Shoto Umano for quite some time,
10:05negatively affected the career, took an entire month off of action,
10:08all thanks to a loss against Great Okan in Osaka.
10:11I mean, Shoto Umano has never exactly been the same man that he was prior to that loss against Great Okan.
10:17Now, what the hell is this?
10:19Oh, come on.
10:20Jacob Austin Young, there's no need for this.
10:26Referee had his back turned, and now it's Okan.
10:29Cover here on Umano.
10:32Two count only.
10:33haihaihaihaihaihaihaihaihaihai colleague,
10:37Okan now, trying to drive out Umino, Umino.
10:59There's that chop to the chest, repeated time and time and time again.
11:05It was not too long ago, in New Japan Cup, Great Okan became the first victim to that
11:10new second chapter technique for Shoto Umino.
11:13Umino might need to bust that out again and score another three count.
11:16Tornado DDT off of Shoto Umino here.
11:32Right now, tag in the red corner, here comes Yuya Uomora.
11:38Uomora coming in hot with the classics tonight, the Heat Storm.
11:43Hip toss out of the corner on Newman and Okan right back on the attack here.
11:47Turns it around, full body press here for Uomora, back out right on the Lion Mark.
11:53Cover here for the Heat Storm, two count only.
12:01Yuya down, would love to try and drive in Great Okan for a victory.
12:09Would love to put two more points on the board as well.
12:25After the loss to Ryo Heoiwa and Zack Sabre Jr. just a few days ago.
12:30Wait a minute, Great Okan trying to capture, got it, face first, goes Uomora.
12:35Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
12:40And a tag made, once again, Callum Newman back in the fold.
12:44Yeah, I would love to see a little bit more of this.
12:51Bring the fire out of Yuya Uomora the way that Ryo Heoiwa did back in Fujisawa.
12:57Look at this, Uomora, reeling on his feet now, Callum Newman.
13:22Yeah, continuing to put that hamstring right into the skull of Yuya Lamoura.
13:29Those are some thick thighs on Newman as the added weight has put added
13:33pressure on this entire situation for United Empire.
13:36Watch Newman now hook up.
13:53No, roundhouse shot from Callum Newman.
13:55And Yuya Lamoura holds it in his tracks.
14:00Callum Newman now covering.
14:06Again on Yuya Lamoura, two.
14:21A day's lack of awareness in the eyes of Yuya Lamoura.
14:25A first time tag team match up here tonight.
14:29Callum Newman would love to try instead of standard.
14:32Newman.
14:35No, no, no.
14:37Umura right back out on his feet.
14:40Backslide, inbound, shoulders down again.
14:43Umura still not going to be enough.
14:45But look at this.
14:46Double underhook in.
14:47That deadbolt suplex.
14:48Cotton of key could come soon enough.
14:51Oh, travels with it.
14:55Keep control.
14:56Control.
14:57No.
14:58Newman again sweeps that leg into the cover.
15:00Into a cover.
15:01It's two.
15:03So impressive to see the wherewithal on Yuya Lamoura here.
15:09There's Burrito Khan.
15:12No, no, no.
15:13That's a two-on-one affair now, and that's never going to favor the one.
15:17But Showtime, bam!
15:19Shotgun style dropkick.
15:21Callum Newman back into it here.
15:23Yes!
15:24Yes!
15:28Yes!
15:33Tag in the corner, here comes Shota Umano.
15:36Tag in the corner, here comes Shoto Umano.
15:46Umano and Omora back inside now.
15:53Cal Newman has not got much energy left in him at this point.
15:59I mean, see this.
16:00Bam, double back suplex, cover again for Umano, still two only.
16:24All the history between these men, Shoto Umano and Yuya Umano would love to be the leaders
16:29of Hontai would love to do so alongside one another before they try and take a full throne
16:34for themselves.
16:35They're going to have to build Hontai up together and they may have to step on a crumbling empire
16:44to do so.
16:45Shoto Umano.
16:46Oh, it's a long way down, it's a long way indeed.
16:51Callum Newman, oh, in for the ride of his life here.
16:55No, Great Okan back into Intercept.
16:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.
17:10Great Okan has Umano in position.
17:12Callum Newman, double stomp.
17:16Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
17:19Back corner, back corner.
17:21Back corner.
17:22In the worst of ways, Callum Newman has put the pressure on the chest of Shoto Umano.
17:29And the pressure continues to sit on the shoulders of the Roughneck.
17:34Would love to put two more points on the board, but it's not looking likely here.
17:38PK, PK covered.
17:41Broke it up by Uemura again.
17:44Now it is Uemura and Great Okan, Uemura and Callum Newman.
17:50Yuya's a one-man band here.
17:52And that guitar has been thrown out the window, so to speak.
17:55Newman and Okan putting the pressure back in on Shoto.
17:59No, no, wait a minute, wait a minute.
18:09Okan, rocked off here by Shoto.
18:11Back elbow again, Insekiri steps up.
18:15Shoto feeling the fire.
18:17No, no, Okan and Newman, got it.
18:21Newman, Okan for the win.
18:27Still, still surviving.
18:30His team home tight tonight.
18:43Yuya, Umura and Shoto Umano, their first time ever teaming in a World Tag League tournament.
18:50Would love to get another shot at the Knockout Brothers, the IWGP gold.
18:56Oh, man.
19:10Callum Newman now looking to put Shoto Umano down for good.
19:13Newman out of the corner.
19:19No, no, Umano stopped it in the tracks half and half.
19:23And a stiff lariat blows right through Okan as well.
19:34Ho, ho, ho.
19:36Risking life.
19:37Risking limb, body up for grabs.
19:40Callum Newman with a stiff knee right through Shoto Umano.
19:46The Empire hasn't crumpled yet.
19:52Double stop, Callum Newman, the cover, the win, it's over, it's over.
19:59Moving over to Umano.
20:12Halted again.
20:16Halted again.
20:18Halted again.
20:22Halted again.
20:30Two and one record now for Calum Numan and Great Okan, four points on the board entirely.
20:57Will you look at this?
21:19United Empire have put four points on the board here.
21:22Calum Numan and Great Okan have done it.
21:27Back to the drawing board for a little more on Numanoh.
21:29It's coming up next in is Team Hontai against Monster Sauce.
21:33That's coming up November 30th live in Akita.
21:39Meanwhile United Empire will be looking to stare down the barrel of the Knockout Brothers.
21:44One of the most anticipated matches of the league comes in Akita on November 30th.
21:49I can't wait.
21:54Fans, we invite you to utilize the hashtag NJWTL, that's New Japan World Tag League.
22:00And we are gonna be set for our semi main event right here, right now.
22:03TMDK, Ryohei Oiwan, Zack Saber Jr. versus House of Torture, Red Narita, and Sonata.
22:10Yeah, it's next.
22:11This concept begins with st박 contained in a completeathersend mode.
