00:28Sauce is spicy tonight, wrestling fans.

00:30We get right into Block B competition here on the evening.

00:33My name is Walker Stewart.

00:34We're live on NJPW World.

00:36And Block B kicks off at a big, big wave with these two teams.

00:40Two points on the board.

00:42Walks in Monster Sauce, Alex Zane, and Lance Archer,

00:45who look to take on the unaffiliated and War Dog combination

00:50of David Finley and Hiromu Takahashi.

00:53Lance Archer had a lot to say about that pairing

00:56in post-match comments just recently.

00:58But Lance Archer, well, certainly going to have a lot to say

01:01when he picks up a victory here tonight.

01:21AEW, 2.3cm, 120km.

01:24Well, some keen-eyed wrestling fans might be wondering

01:39if this is a Lance Archer match or a Barrowman Brothers match.

01:43All the water that's been spilled around ringside.

01:45We're on the other side.

01:58.

02:16Walking in tonight, day 81 in the reign of Hiromu Takahashi

02:21as Pro Wrestling NOAH's GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion.

02:25Your NOAH Jr. Grand Prix winner this year.

02:28And yes, a defending World Tag League winner from the year of 2024.

02:35And David Finley knows a lot about winning World Tag League with partners who are in net,

02:40who are not in New Japan Pro Wrestling anymore.

02:43David Finley and Hiromu Takahashi are certainly continuing to try and build up their bond.

02:49But truth be told, I don't exactly believe that Kato has served as the greatest of mediators

02:55between these two individuals.

02:58David Finley going on to say in post-match comments,

03:00well, this is a tag team tournament, but Hiromu, I have four points, you have zero points.

03:07Those are the words of David Finley.

03:10Finley says he has four points and that he's sharing them with Hiromu.

03:13Well, that's not exactly the spirit of World Tag League fans, that's for certain.

03:20And either way, the question is not, can they coexist?

03:25It's, well, can they outpace one another?

03:27All right.

03:29izes, the last game for the world, anti-JIMU champion,

03:32並みにNOAA Jr. Grand Prix優勝者タイムボム,

03:34Takashi Hiromu!

03:37Takashi Hiromu!

03:40valent club World Tag League Wards the Levels.

03:46David Finley!

03:51We're getting to Block B competition here tonight.

04:15David Finley and Horobu Takahashi takes on Monster Sauce, Alex Zane, and Lance Archer.

04:21And it has long been the wording of Lance Archer, the moniker, the phrasing that everybody dies.

04:30Well, Horobu Takahashi heard that recently and took that a little bit too literally.

04:34Says that he's fearing for his life in this battle here tonight.

04:39But, well, Horobu Takahashi has never been accused of being the smartest man in the room,

04:44but certainly one of the gutsiest.

04:46I like it. I like it. I like it.

04:48Yeah, okay, well, Finley's going to allow Horobu to make this call here tonight.

04:54The leader of this two-man team claims David Finley.

04:58He's going to give the green light here.

05:00Let's get the bell sounded. One fall, 30 minutes.

05:03Oh, well.

05:07The one fall, 30-minute time limit.

05:09We have the bell sounded.

05:12Horobu has made a tag out.

05:13David Finley, now your legal man.

05:20He had a touch.

05:22Yeah, all right about it.

05:23He had a touch.

05:24Okay, Horobu Takahashi acknowledges the tag.

05:27Let's see if David Finley can make the most out of it.

05:29All right, let's get to it.

05:40David Finley, Lance Archer.

05:42These are two beefy athletes we're talking about right here.

05:45And Finley has managed to toss around the beefiest of them.

05:48But Lance Archer, that is a murder hawk monster for a reason.

05:51He enters his eighth NJPW World Tag League.

05:55He's teamed alongside many a man in his career.

05:58From Davey Boy Smith Jr.

06:00He's a part of the Killer Elite Squad.

06:02Minoru Suzuki back in 2019 now.

06:05Revisiting the monster sauce pairing with Alex Zayn in the year of 2025.

06:12And Lance Archer has never won a World Tag League tournament.

06:15But no stranger to winning tag team tournaments here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

06:19It takes you back to the year prior to the first World Tag League.

06:23It was back during the G1 Tag League.

06:262011 Lance Archer and Minoru Suzuki winning out that tournament.

06:30There's a stark difference between the G1 Tag League and World Tag League in 2025.

06:36And David Finley can remind Lance Archer of exactly how that is.

06:45David Finley makes the tag out.

06:47Here comes Hiromu Takahashi, 2024 winner of World Tag League alongside one Tetsuya Naito.

06:53But nowhere to be seen in NJPW around these parts.

06:57And Lance Archer looking to make sure Hiromu forgets all about that 2024 Tag League victory.

07:07As it is Alex Zayn.

07:09Watch this.

07:10I mean, feeds himself in to Lance Archer.

07:12A glutton for punishment.

07:13Talk about itadakimasu out of Alex Zayn.

07:19Lance Archer took the post-match comments yesterday.

07:23Made a comment about the nature of David Finley and Hiromu's relationship alongside his own with Zayn.

07:29Cover here for Alex.

07:30Two count only.

07:31We've seen David Finley toss around Hiromu Takahashi like a ragdoll in this tournament.

07:39All to aid in his own ascent.

07:42Lance Archer says, well, Hiromu doesn't want David to throw him, but my buddy Alex Zayn does want me to throw him.

07:49That's what Lance Archer said.

07:51And if Alex Zayn and Lance Archer stand on the better page than Hiromu Takahashi and David Finley do,

08:00then, well, history has shown us in the sport of pro wrestling that it is certainly going to favor the side of Monstersauce.

08:06But you're going to have to stay tuned to find out here.

08:09It's our first Block B match of the evening.

08:11And watch Alex Zayn here try and keep control of that wrist.

08:18Try to get a little taste of Hiromu early on.

08:20Not going to happen.

08:21Alex Zayn popped up.

08:23Tehenis takedown from Hiromu Takahashi.

08:29And Hiromu wants that tag to David Finley.

08:32Finley not going to be close enough for it yet, but Hiromu...

08:36Oh, did you hear that chop from Alex Zayn tonight?

08:41It's awesome.

08:42Come on, Hiromu.

08:42You can't do it.

08:44You can't do it.

08:45Come on, Hiromu.

08:46Get up.

08:47Get up.

08:49He doesn't want to get up.

08:51Yeah, he's going down.

08:52Yeah, well, Alex Zayn calls for the down low for Hiromu Takahashi.

08:57Four points on the board.

08:59David and Hiromu, two points up.

09:01Monster sauce.

09:02Let's see what Zayn can do here.

09:04Hiromu between the legs.

09:06Zayn couldn't hold on.

09:07Butterfingers there from Alex Zayn.

09:09Here comes David Finley.

09:11Oh, nice cross shot there.

09:16As Finley runs in on that uppercut shot.

09:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

09:33David Finley.

09:37Oh, wait a minute.

09:38Zayn right back out on his feet.

09:39Step up insecure.

09:40He finds the mark there.

09:42And it is the sauce looking to fire up in fuego.

09:45Watch out.

09:46Watch out.

09:46Oh, the assist.

09:49Cover here for Alex Zayn.

09:51Two count.

09:53And that's all it's going to be for now.

09:59Monster sauce compared to 2023 here in 2025.

10:03A very different team.

10:05Lance Archer has undergone a lot of changes during his time in all elite wrestling in the past few years.

10:10And Alex Zayn has been heavy and active on the American Independent and Ring of Honor scenes.

10:17David Finlay, for all intents and purposes, doesn't care how monster sauce have developed over the years.

10:24It's all about how he can make the gold come his direction.

10:28Let's see what Horomo can do.

10:29Oh, an attack made anyway.

10:36Oh, this is what Horomo wanted to avoid it all night.

10:40Lance Archer says that everybody dies.

10:42Well, Horomo Takahashi looks to ensure that doesn't come anytime soon.

10:46Oh, no, no, no.

10:52Poor Horomo.

10:55Oh, Horomo goading with the murder cock monster.

11:06Oh, and Finlay.

11:09Hey, look at this.

11:10A little bit of tag team camaraderie between these two.

11:15Some might call it camaraderie.

11:17Others might call it con-rottery.

11:19As David Finlay certainly has served as a con artist before.

11:23Alex Zayn, though.

11:24Watch out.

11:25Oh, good God.

11:27And Horomo now.

11:31One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, six, seven, eight, six, six, seven, eight, eight, and our young lions are obliging.

11:47I'd listen to Lance Archer, too, if I was those young lions.

11:50Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, six, seven, eight, six, seven, eight, and Horomo dumped like a sack of potatoes back inside the ring.

12:07It's already a difficult and uphill battle if you are Horomo Takahashi, a premier junior heavyweight.

12:13Oh, trying to box with God tonight.

12:16Lance Archer says everybody dies.

12:18And everybody might be Horomo.

12:23Choke slam.

12:24Lance Archer.

12:26Broken up by David in the end.

12:34Zayn trying to dispose of David Finlay for the time being.

12:37Lance Archer, Horomo Takahashi all alone inside that ring right now.

12:43One more.

12:45Choke slam to boot.

12:47Well, wait a minute, Finlay.

12:48Finlay avoidance to aid.

12:49Still managing to break that one up.

12:53Son of a bitch!

12:55Oh, and Lance Archer dumped over the top as well.

13:11Finlay's got to try and isolate.

13:16Rather, a little combination.

13:18What's going on here, Finlay?

13:19Oh, no.

13:20Oh, no.

13:21Horomo didn't call this.

13:22Horomo didn't consent here.

13:24No!

13:26Oh, Archer and Zayn.

13:29Oh, this has not gone the way Finlay intended at all.

13:32Choke slam on the apron.

13:42Tag made in the blue corner.

13:43It is Monster Sauce.

13:44Alex Zayn, Lance Archer, looking to eat good here tonight.

13:55Itadakimasu!

14:02Two more points on the board for Monster Sauce in the end.

14:06二、二、二、三、二、三、三、二番 chart.

14:11Lance Archer and Alex Zane now put four points on the board in this year's

14:39World Tag League in Block B will tie alongside David Finlay and

14:42Hiromu Takahashi to end out the night tonight.

14:44And that is going to kill any opportunity for

14:51Finlay and Hiromu to advance to six by the end here.

14:53We're coming for the whole World Tag League.

14:59Monster Sauce team, or rather tie,

15:06against David Finlay and Hiromu Takahashi.

15:09At this point in the juncture, the undefeated streak of Finlay and Hiromu is done.

15:15Meanwhile, Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oyoa still to compete later on tonight.

15:19The only team with an opportunity to take the lead entirely,

15:23should they find victory over House of Torture.

15:26We'll find out about that later on in our semi-main event to come.

15:31Congratulations to Alex Zane and Lance Archer.

15:34And we're going to move right on and in.

15:38Coming up next, folks,

15:47Yuya Uemura and Shota Uemura take on United Empire.

15:53Master Sauce, for the whole world's agony.

15:58Everything and everybody, because everybody does it.

16:00Itadakuma.

16:01Itadakuma.

16:02Itadakuma.

16:03Itadakuma.

16:04Itadakuma.

16:08for the whole world's ugly

16:11everything and everybody
