04:56oh and this is how we're going to get things started here tonight
05:12young lion the guy junior heavyweight kosei fuji the bell sounds we are officially underway
05:18and it is what kosei fuji has currently been on the road to for some time now the announcement
05:23was made made all the way back into new japan road in anjo just before the kickoff the world tag
05:29league this year at the request of doki himself a four-way match set for the tokyo dome now involving
05:36show el desperado taiji shimori and this man right here kosei fuji the iwgb junior heavyweight
05:44championship not to be defended at the tokyo dome rather a match for the number one contendership
05:49to take place at the tokyo dome as far as our current plans have been announced kosei fuji certainly
05:55excited for a tokyo dome main stage and four-way action the question does remain as to what really
06:03kosei fuji has to think about this entire affair i mean truth be told fuji was not even on the onjo card
06:09whenever the match had been made official in the interim court so fuji has taken the social media has
06:15given a reaction but i would love to hear from the horse's mouth respectfully what kosei fuji has
06:21to say about el desperado about taiji shimori especially about show but also about the fact
06:27that doki is not willing it's not man enough some might say to defend the iwgb junior heavyweight
06:33cold against well really anyone whatsoever kosei fuji included that's the super junior winner this year
06:51is
07:05touching the blue corner yo hey oya makes his way into this matchup the only world tag league competitor
07:13in the blue corner here tonight zach sabre jr has not been seen since that crushing loss
07:18that he suffered just the other day to el phantasmo and hiroshi tanahashi
07:28oh no you take a look at this i mean this is going to be a heavy topic of conversation here
07:33between yuto ice and riohe oya all the talks in interviews all the talks in post-match comments
07:40truth be told wrestling fans yuto ice and riohe oya have despised each other for quite some time but
07:47yuto handling a lot more of that aggression into despisement more so than riohe oya these are two
07:54polar opposites that we were talking about in oya and ice ice taking interviews and comments recently
08:00on njpw1972.com and really saying that riohe oya serves the antithesis to himself as yuto ice we're
08:10going to talk about that a little bit more heading into action against shizuoka but right now the points
08:16are not on the line here tonight oscar is just cleaning house here tonight at tmdk
08:22and oscar whether he likes it or not he's going to make that touch out here to daikin a guy now
08:38and the tag now made here comes yuto ice a man that has done a lot of talking the past few years
08:56about his time in the doge dojo with riohe oya who's two men a part of very similar generations
09:03here out of the no gate and very different distinctions not just as professional wrestlers
09:10but truly in their upbringings overall it was when we were talking to yuto all the way back
09:16when he was first making his excursion to kickoff 2024 it was an interview on njpw1972.com
09:25hold on a minute no time for quotes now we got a bumble clot
09:29knee and riohe oya right out of the way an arm drag take down there on yuto ice immediately
09:37strong arms with a stiff leg and yuto ice is gonna stand advantageous one more time
09:46beautiful drop kick there on it yuto ice is the match that is set to come at tmdk zack saber jr
09:53and riohe oya take on the knockout brothers oscar and ice two on two and shizuoka tag made on both sides
10:01here comes hartley jackson and oscar
10:07yeah
10:21five minutes half past on this match up we have a 20 minute time limit here tonight and we're not
10:37going to need it at the rate that harley jackson and oscar are pouncing on each other yeah in a
10:42literal sense here jackson sent down and never does that happen easily
10:51these two power men going to be jockeying for position here oscar might add that leverage advantage
10:57harley jackson has his hips underneath him though he's got to try and he does suplex here on oscar
11:04tonight cover and a kick out at two okay touch touch
11:21oh and a senton there from another from jackson cover here for kose again and it's two
11:29oh
11:38well oscar
11:56well oscar gonna make the tag outs dyking the guy here right now and the guy
12:00came in at a moment's notice but certainly at a needed point oscar was getting put through the ringer
12:05and meanwhile the guy here monkey flip they are alive tonight yamanashi here
12:13and dyking the guy full steam in back elbow in on kosei fujina hip tops out of the corner
12:19lands it flesh on kose cover here for the guy and a two count only i mean you start to feel wrestling
12:26fans the way that the guy is going at fujina right here right now the guy is tired of the comparisons
12:32being made not just between him and fujina him and anybody that there has ever been in new japan for
12:37a wrestler thank you the guy wants to be a one-man show well we're going to see if the guy
12:43can find a way to find a way to show out against kosei fujina here
12:57watch this kosei fujina in and out one of that drop kick on the top rope yuto ice coming in with a huge
13:04assist there that knee strike right there
13:10huge clubbering lariat and it's oscar scoop and a slam that was nearly a 10 foot drop there for real
13:19hey
13:21i mean you can hear the shrieks of fear out of their our audience here tonight
13:29well just the imposing force that oscar is but right now it is down to kosei fujina down to
13:35dyke and a guy and the guy's got to make a big statement here on a potential contender for the
13:40junior heavyweight championship
13:45there's the guy now sends kosei off the ropes spine up spine down spine busted and it is dyke and a guy
13:54wants to step fujina over into that boston crab the staple hold of the no gay dojo the boston crab
14:02locked in here for the guy on kosei fujina multiple time junior tag team champion kondike
14:09the guy put down your best of the super junior winner right here
14:16oh it's fujina really really starting to fade right now

14:29and to the bottom rope go save fujina makes it
14:34oh
14:48My God, that was incredible.
15:04Just slap the soul out of taking a guy, and
15:09is gonna slap on the Boston Crab as well.
15:13That's gotta come here, the tap, it's over, it's over.
15:16Kose Fugina is not letting go.
15:25That slap might have just been hurt a few brief extras away.
15:29As Kose Fugina, that is a man who is tired of playing around.
15:34Wrestle Kingdom 20, the IWGP Junior title, four-way number one contenders match.
15:41All three other men better be worried about the force that's coming.
15:46Out of their way in TMDK zone.
15:48But for right now, Yuta Ice and Oscar have to turn their attention to
15:53Ryohei Oyewa and Zack Sabre Jr.
