00:00It was a hell of a war last night Yamanashi for this unaffiliated Young Lion in Daikinagai.
00:30It was a hell of a war last night.
00:59And it was last night in our main event.
01:27The hometown of one, Shingo Takagi, back in Yamanashi, Japan.
01:33It was six points put on the board by the War Dragons, Troll Maloney.
01:38And Shingo Takagi, that win over Satoshi Kojima and Taichi.
01:42But for right now, the attention turns to what's to come in about 48 hours time.
01:48And a very different threat.

02:32Takaimi, let's go!
02:43Good job!
03:02Well, it is a Young Lion and Katsuyama Arashima who will stand alongside this year's World Tag League entrance.
03:23Poulton Oleg and Toru Yano tied with the War Dragons and six points on the board.
03:28Oleg and Yano fighting victory last night over Chase Owens.
03:31And you throw Takahashi.
04:01HOKKAIDO NOMORINESHI KANKKO TAYSU!
04:05Yano toru!
04:10Six points on the board for Oleg Imiato, six points up for the War Dragon, Joe Maloney and Shingo Takagi.
04:19And that means one to watch out for.
04:21It is our semi-main event of the evening to come.
04:25On December 5th, we'll be live in Edeon Arena Osaka No. 2.
04:30And Edeon Arena Osaka, a very special venue, not just for myself, but for athletes here.
04:36I was talking to Joe Maloney earlier on in the evening.
04:38We'll be talking to Joe Maloney later on here tonight as well, depending on the results of this matchup.
04:43Maloney and Takagi feel up for it.
04:47Well, Maloney will sit right beside me in the English broadcast booth.
04:51And I'll tell you right now, I do not want an angry Joe Maloney in this broadcast, so I definitely know where my money lies.
05:03As the bell sounds, one fall, 20-minute time limit.
05:05And I'll tell you right now, wrestling fans, Joe Maloney has not exactly been the angriest as we've seen him over the past few years in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
05:13He's having the time of his life by the looks of things alongside Shingo Takagi.
05:17When you put two men who are so similar and yet so dissimilar from one another, similar when it comes to in-ring, similar in terms of trajectory in professional wrestling.
05:29Shingo Takagi, the current, maybe even the past, Joe Maloney representing the current and the future.
05:34And Takagi, a big elbow drop there to follow up on Sorayano.
05:39A very similar world wrestling philosophy between Takagi and Maloney.
05:45Hit hard, ask all the questions later.
05:47And that is if you can even remember the questions after all the blows that you're going to take in every single matchup.
05:53The War Dragons have been living up to their name fans in terms of bringing war into the streets here of Twin Nese Shizuoka.
06:00As everyone is going to be looking for tags on both sides, we're going to welcome our Young Lions, Katsyia Morishima and Daiki Nagai.
06:10And a really interesting story being told by Young Lion Nagai in last night's post-match comments.
06:17Just after the night, he went to war with Kosei Fujita in a TMDK action.
06:23Mirashla, a massive shoulder tackle there on Nagai.
06:26Nagai would tell a story about joining the Nogai Dojo, trying out the first time, getting rejected in the first round, and going on to join the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.
06:38Tag made for Joe Maloney, your legal man, and to continue talking about Nagai here for just a moment.
06:44Said that Nagai found out about Kosei Fujita's debut matchup while he was sitting there cleaning artillery.
06:51Nagai couldn't achieve his dreams, became a working man, and thought he would wear a uniform until he retired.
06:58And it was Nagai who gave credit to Kosei Fujita, saying, well, Fujita, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for the jealousy I had for you, I wouldn't have come back.
07:06I wouldn't have tried again.
07:08And that, well, really leading to the fire we saw out of Nagai against Fujita.
07:11I would love to see those two go to war one more time in the junior heavyweight division.
07:16But for now, we turn the attention back to the heavyweights.
07:19And Jerome Maloney and Bolton Oleg here, a force to be reckoned with, is Bolton Oleg.
07:25I know Chase Owens still nursing the wounds of sore ribs, maybe even crack beyond repair,
07:32thanks to that kamikaze and that verdict from yesterday in league competition.
07:47Ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:51Sometimes, wrestling fans, the sound of a chop is all about the technique.
07:57And sometimes, you just have ham hocks for hands like Bolton Oleg.
08:05Let's watch Oleg here, huge chop to the chest again.
08:11And watch this, Maloney popped in here.
08:14Oleg, Oleg, that amateur background coming into play here.
08:18Love that belly-to-belly suplex, but that chop right there is something you would have never seen on the amateur mat out of Oleg back in the day.
08:25He's still highly ranked internationally through Kazakhstan.
08:30We're afraid to take the man off the damn list by the ranks of things.
08:34As Oleg now, former Never Champion, popped up and in, Bolton bomb.
08:40Cover here for Oleg.
08:42Kick out at two.
08:43Let's go, let's go!
08:44Let's go, let's go!
08:46Time, Bolton-
08:48Yeah!
08:49No, no, no, no, no!
08:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:54And it is Troll Meloni kept a lot of that resilience from his junior heavyweight days.
08:59And Meloni going to show the little flash and flare for the time being.
09:03Drop kick here on Oleg, and Maloney's got to try and make a tag to somebody.
09:10Who's it going to be?
09:12And it is Young Lion, the guy who gets his wits about him.
09:15Takes the shot to Yano.
09:16Harder one to Murashima.
09:18And it is the War Dragons and the guy, the unaffiliated War Dog combination here tonight.
09:25As the back elbow for the guy, corner line for Maloney.
09:30And a southpaw style for Takagi.
09:33Whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, drop kick there from the guy.
09:38Perfectly placed off the middle rope, and a double shoulder tackle.
09:43Maloney and Takagi quickly discovering what it is going to take.
09:46To overpower the man the size of Oleg.
09:50And the time has come here tonight for the unaffiliated and the War Dogs.
10:00Push, push, push.
10:06As Maloney go to Helbo.
10:11And the guy to follow up.
10:13One of his own here.
10:15Cover again for the guy.
10:18Broken up by Murashima and by Yano as well.
10:21Yeah, well, Shingo Takagi calling for the guy to be the one to make the call here.
10:33And the guy looking to step over, plan in.
10:36That Boston Crab on Bolton Oleg.
10:39No, no, not even for a moment.
10:42Thank you, Lord.
10:43All right.
10:44As the guy just, the junior heavyweight cannot outpower Bolton Oleg here.
10:51What's that inside cradle?
10:52Going to be blocked now.
10:53No, no, no, the guy.
10:56Speedway roll up the guy for the cover too.
10:58No, no, no, no, no, on the shoulders here.
11:14The verdict.
11:16The verdict laid in for Bolton Oleg.
11:21It's over.
11:22Well, it is Bolton Oleg who talked all about wanting to right his wrong from New Japan Cup earlier this year.
11:41His elimination at the hands of Shingo Takagi in the quarterfinal.
11:46He put down Shingo Takagi's young boy here tonight.
11:49And the guy, how is Bolton Oleg going to fare when the points are on the line?
11:53It is Oleg and Yato taking on Takagi and Maloney.
11:58Two-on-two action.
12:00Coming your way in World Tag League 2025, December 5th.
