00:00I might hit that driller right.

00:17At time, it's dance, I'm making shine.

00:21See that I find this outside.

00:25It is the War Dragons duo here tonight, Alex.

00:38War Dragons.

00:39Drill Maloney and Shingo Takagi.

00:42What was the other name that they wanted?

00:43The Kitakita brothers.

00:45Yeah, we'll call them that.

00:46Well, you don't like the War Dragons.

00:48I don't like the War Dragons, that's the problem.

00:50I don't want them to have a cool name.

00:52Ah, I see.

00:53No, they need to be Kitakita or whatever the hell.

00:59Well, we've already had Dick Togo number two here tonight.

01:02Maybe you and Lance can be War Dragons number two one day.

01:06But right now, they are known as the War Dragons.

01:09They are Droll Maloney on your left, Shingo Takagi on your right.

01:12Two of the baddest men on the planet.

01:14Step into the ring.

01:15Battle Lizards.

01:16The Battle Lizards?

01:18Yeah, that's a good name.

01:19Oh, I guess so.

01:20Check them out.

01:21They look like a couple battle lizards.

01:22I don't think Maloney would go for that particularly.

01:24Yeah.

01:25Yeah, see even the fans are getting in on the action.

01:29Shingo Takagi and Maloney, six points on the board here tonight.

01:32Six points on the board for the battle lizards.

01:34Six points, on the board for the battle lizards.

01:39War Dragons 44, Caliber, Dodge Ram.

01:43Moda umgg ACsey into the final game.

01:48So you lizards do that exact thing?

01:49No, I don't know what lizards are waiting in.

01:52I've been in Florida and I have seen a couple of them to give me that look.

01:55I do appreciate a nice influence robe, though.

02:25And that is nice.

02:31Got a nice shape to it, complimenting the lat spread.

02:35The lat spread?

02:36Yeah, it's a mean lat spread.

02:38It's real analysis, though.

02:40The mean lat spread on that battle lizard.

02:55What is that sound?

03:08Toriano's entrance music, Alex.

03:11Yeah, but it's, you know, it's so dominant.

03:14It puts the fear in your heart.

03:16Well, what's really gonna put the fear in your heart, strike the fear of God in you is bolted Olin.

03:21Yeah, whatever fur that hat is made of, he killed with his bare hands.

03:27Chased it down in the woods.

03:31Rigid part.

03:33Don't tell PETA.

03:34Oh, no.

03:35Don't tell PETA.

03:36Oh, no.

03:37Oh, no.

03:38Where's Olin from?

03:39We're Kazakhstan.

03:40Is there PETA there?

03:42I haven't done the research.

03:43I'll look it up.

03:44I'll ask Jeeps.

03:45Jeeps.

03:46Hi.

03:47All right.

03:48All right.

03:49Six points on the board.

03:53I'll ask Jeeps.

04:08Jeeps.

04:09All right.

04:11Six points on the board.

04:16the board. For Bolton, Oleg, and

04:21Torigano, for the War Dragons, Joe Melody, and Shinya Tsukagi.

04:26And we are set here tonight for our semi-main event of the evening.

04:30Well, I have to ask you here, Alex, throughout your entire time competing in

04:35World Tag League, over the course of World Tag League, so you've competed in before,

04:39are you the type of guy to keep your eye on the opposite block to watch the action

04:44that's happening in block A while you're in block B, or are you focused on your own match?

04:48Well, you have to look ahead some, right? You've got to be prepared, right?

04:53It's like when you take a road trip, you go on MapQuest, you print out the directions.

04:57Right, still in 2025. Yeah, that's how I got here.

05:01Wow, all right. Let's call it a taxi. It's Shinya Tsukagi and Bolton Oleg coming out of here tonight.

05:07There's a little bit of history between these two men that goes back to the

05:10quarter-final of this year's New Japan Cup, Alex. It was Bolton Oleg in his second-ever New Japan Cup,

05:17taking on Shingo Tsukagi in the quarter-final. Tsukagi putting down Oleg in that quarter-final

05:23before losing to Shoto Umino in the semi-final. And it is Oleg who has said in post-match comments

05:28leading up to this matchup, hey, Shingo, I'm really only focused on you, you know?

05:32And so Oleg really gunning to try and get his victory back, so to speak, from New Japan Cup this year.

05:38I understand. I get it, you know? Sometimes, though, you put the blinders on like that,

05:43they can work to your disadvantage. Yeah, right. I mean, you cannot count out

05:48Joel Beloni really ever. Yeah.

05:53And Bolton Oleg certainly getting his ways about him here on Shingo tonight.

05:58It is a one-fall 30-minute time limit. The winner of this match will join

06:02Evil and Daunt Folly at the top of Block A, alongside Yota Suchi and Gabe Kidd.

06:09Shoulder tackle there from Shingo. Quick battle lizard.

06:15I believe Shingo would be the dragon side of the war dragons, and then Maloney would be the war.

06:20Right. Right, because Maloney is a war dog.

06:23Yeah. Well, now he's a battle lizard. Okay. Go ahead and jot that down.

06:29You can feed a horse to water, and you can't make him.

06:31You scared, Kawhi!

06:32All right, Toriano and Joel Maloney.

06:34Kawhi! I got the Kawhi scared of you! Kawhi!

06:38We got the Kawhi!

06:42Well, are you going to fucking take the corner pot again?

06:44Like you always do. Huh?

06:46Hold on, don't be all you want in.

06:48Well...

06:54No, I mean, Marty Asabi won't stop at this.

06:56Marty doesn't like it.

06:57I mean, you can't just... All right, well, Toriano and Joel Maloney in a race to the finish.

07:02See, Drilla.

07:03Oh, come on!

07:06Yeah.

07:06This is what experience does.

07:08Well, you're right.

07:10Look at the quickness that he got that corner.

07:12Yeah.

07:13Drilla Maloney's shoes are still untied.

07:20You know, you try and figure out sometimes who can untie these corner pads faster.

07:29Is it Toriano or is it our young lions who set up the ring?

07:32You know, that's the real question.

07:33Toriano, I think.

07:34Yeah, well...

07:36Senpai.

07:36Oh, yeah, certainly.

07:38Well, it's Joe Maloney who might have lost the turnbuckle pad battle, but...

07:43There's a whore still to fight.

07:44He won the Blizzard War or whatever.

07:47Okay, Alex, that's true.

07:49Oh!

07:50Oh!

07:51Oh!

07:52Oh!

07:52Maloney, cover here on Yano.

07:54Two count only.

07:58You pitched this question a little bit before this match came down to ringside.

08:03I'd like to ask him, which of these two teams, if you competed in the finals in this tournament,

08:07which are very well made, which of these two teams would you rather face?

08:11That is a very hard question, actually.

08:15I mean, I think when Oleg's on the team,

08:18it's like the other two are Oleg, but they're split up to where it's like half Oleg here,

08:30half Oleg there.

08:31Right.

08:31Hero leg, narrow leg, something.

08:34Okay.

08:35You know?

08:36So, I don't know.

08:37Okay, well, thank you for that one.

08:39Not that Yano, you know, not that I'm counting him out.

08:41Yeah, I mean, Tony Yano, an incredible amateur background.

08:44A lot of people tend to forget about that.

08:46That's because he's had such a lengthy career.

08:48A lot of the, you know, the aggressive, the amateur days of early chaos, GBH,

08:53whatever you might have seen in New Japan, I mean, are far and away gone.

08:56Yano now has sponsors to chaos.

08:59Yano's got stuff to sell to us.

09:02Smart man.

09:03Certainly not looking to sell out to Shingo Takagi at all.

09:09Still holding that collarbone, Drilla Maloney.

09:15Yeah, if you could believe it, Drilla Maloney,

09:16earlier on this year, was considered a junior heavyweight.

09:20Yeah.

09:20I think maybe ten bowls of ramen.

09:24Oh, well, yeah, maybe.

09:26Uh, Drilla Maloney, though, making a hell of a transition from junior to heavy.

09:31Maybe no noodles, all meat.

09:32Ah, all meat, ramen, yes.

09:37Joe Maloney made an incredible transition from junior heavyweight to a true heavyweight

09:41here in New Japan and did it all really in conversation with Shingo Takagi.

09:46It was less conversation and more fist fly.

09:48It was Takagi that broke Maloney into the heavyweight division back in Osaka,

09:53right here in this building, in fact, back in February.

09:57Yeah, battles in New Japan Cup.

09:59Joe Maloney wrestling his first ever Chief on Climax this year.

10:03Drilla seemed to adapt very well to the heavyweight, as you can see.

10:07Yeah, you certainly see it.

10:08By dropping Oleg.

10:09Not, not many can lift Oleg like that.

10:12And nobody's business.

10:14Oh, and a go-to elbow from Joe Maloney.

10:21Two count only for Takagi.

10:22You know, you asked the question, who would hell out of these teams would I rather

10:42meet in the finals?

10:42And I really just hope that Chase Ellens starts to get some points on the board,

10:50so I can see him there.

10:51Yeah, well, I'm sorry to tell you that's a lost cause at this point in the tournament.

10:57Never say never.

10:58I know a lot of people are disappointed by that.

10:59Oh, it's the Minoru Suzuki food poison rule, right?

11:02If everyone got food poison, Chase Ellens could make the final.

11:06I don't think you're right about that, though.

11:07That there are a lot of people disappointed about that.

11:09Oh, okay.

11:10Yeah, according to my research.

11:12Oh, you did a lot of disappointments?

11:14Yeah.

11:15Oh, Chingo puts the...

11:17Oh, Yano.

11:18He's a slick little weasel type of guy.

11:21Yeah, hair pull, mat slam from Yano.

11:23Yeah.

11:27Bolton wants his tag.

11:28Bolton will not be denied.

11:30And we flash back to the quarter final of New Japan Cup this year.

11:35Bolton, look at this.

11:38How do you deadlift a man the size of Chingo?

11:40Oh, back.

11:41Right in the large back of the man.

11:45Oleg, Oleg.

11:47Oh.

11:48Oh, oh, oh.

11:49Doesn't care.

11:49Double shoulder tackle.

11:51Look at him.

11:52Unaffected.

11:53Not a thought in his head.

11:56Well, the only thought is a drive to victory.

11:58Let's see if Oleg can drive the train here.

12:00Just rage.

12:02Look at this.

12:03Oh, my God.

12:05Bolton shake.

12:10How would you like to drink that?

12:11The Bolton shake.

12:12I'd rather not.

12:13Oh.

12:14Scooping a slam here.

12:15Seems curdled.

12:21Watch Bolton.

12:23Massive splash.

12:24Cover.

12:25Cover for Oleg.

12:26Two.

12:34Yeah.

12:35Oh.

12:39I saw Oleg lift two men like this.

12:42Throw him around, like, no problem.

12:44Oh, my.

12:46Come on, Shiko.

12:47A couple of right jabs.

12:49Oh, watch it.

12:50Oh.

12:51Oleg just stumbled by that one.

12:53Is that in the throat?

12:54Oh, right.

12:56Oh, my God.

12:57And on the shoulder.

12:58On the shoulder now.

13:00Shiko Takagi.

13:01Oh.

13:01Boloni driving out.

13:03Bolton Oleg.

13:04Cover here for the victory.

13:07Two points.

13:08Oh.

13:15Tag made in the blue.

13:16It's back to Joel Maloney.

13:17Jano's going to have to get himself back in this.

13:19Get his head back in the game.

13:21I mean, it's really been the power of Oleg.

13:23It's been the brain of Toru Jano that has been leading this team, though.

13:27Yeah, Bolton Oleg wasn't doing a lot of this on the amateur match back in Kazakhstan.

13:45I don't know who likes this more.

13:47They both appear to enjoy.

13:49Oh, ho, ho, ho.

13:51Wow.

13:53See, look at him.

13:55Right now, he hates it.

13:56It's like when you eat a spicy food and you're like, oh, I don't like it.

13:59Let me have another bite.

14:01He's a crazy person.

14:03Oh.

14:04Okay, go, go.

14:08Oh.

14:10One second.

14:12Oh.

14:14Oh.

14:16Oh.

14:18Oh.

14:20Oh.

14:22Oh.

14:24Oh, didn't want any more.

14:27Oh.

14:28Nipple in the third row.

14:31There is nipple fragments.

14:33Watch Moloney.

14:33Oh, right to the chest again.

14:36Yes.

14:37And a double jump.

14:39Moloney back up, though.

14:41Moloney's not done.

14:43Not even going.

14:45No, no, no, Maloney is the strongest man you'll find in a mile.

14:56He's done it, he's done it.

14:59Maloney powers up Oleg all on his own, cover for Trilla, is it?

15:04No.

15:05That is beyond impressive strength for Joe Maloney.

15:12Insane.

15:13That's just War Dragon.

15:20That was War Dragon.

15:22Yeah, it was.

15:22Jerome Maloney now.

15:24Whoa, wait a minute.

15:26Oh, gosh.

15:28We don't see Bolton Oleg from this position on the fin.

15:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

15:34My God.

15:35Good Lord.

15:36Good God Almighty, cover.

15:39No.

15:41Somehow was running.

15:42Got slammed in and took off running.

15:44Wow.

15:45Good time.

15:46Good time.

15:47Good time.

15:48Good time.

15:49Good time.

15:50Good time.

15:51Good time.

15:52T'Kage now.

15:54T'Kage now.

15:54Cohen plays with Maloney here.

16:01I don't know if Maloney has the spine left to hold himself up.

16:06No, no, no, no.

16:07Wait a minute.

16:08Wait a minute.

16:09Oh, no.

16:10Maloney has bodied the War Dragons here.

16:13Oh, he had powered him back up.

16:14Maloney, gore, gore.

16:16Gore.

16:17Come on.

16:18Gore.

16:19No.

16:20T'Kage takes out Yano here.

16:22The time has come for Joe Maloney and Shingo T'Kage will be joined the top of blockade here tonight.

16:41They got him in the sights.

16:42Watch Maloney.

16:43Super kick on the jaw.

16:44Off the ropes.

16:45Sliding.

16:46Hilarious.

16:47No.

16:48Every bit of it.

16:49No way.

16:50No way.

16:51Oh, my.

16:52Watch it.

16:53Oh, my.

17:01Oh, my.

17:02Oh, my.

17:03Watch it.

17:04War Dragons.

17:05Take it out with the suplex here.

17:06Watch the red corner.

17:07Look for the tag.

17:08Toruiano walks into this one.

17:09And there's the brains.

17:10Oh, let's see if Yano's brains can match the brawn of Drola Maloney.

17:15Oh.

17:16Oh.

17:17Oh.

17:18Oh.

17:19Oh.

17:20Oh.

17:42Oh.

17:44Oh, Yano, Yano into Oleg.

17:48Oh, wow.

17:49Bolton caught it.

17:50And Drola Maloney catches a big blow there.

17:54Spinebuster from Maloney, super kick on Bolton.

18:03No way, no way.

18:07It can't be, it can't be.

18:09No way, Boleg wanted none of that.

18:11Oh, another one.

18:12Takagi.

18:13Boom.

18:14Oh, big bomber.

18:17Piano's legal.

18:19Piano's legal.

18:23Oleg's a non-factor, Oleg's out of here.

18:26Oh, Maloney sends it into Takagi now.

18:28Piano blocks.

18:40The Lord Dragons are breathing fire here tonight.

18:44Oh, got it.

18:54That one was high, high angle.

18:57It's over.

18:58The semi-man event is done.

19:00Eight points on the board from the War Dragons.
