00:19What is the team that some on the internet have done?
00:24Two and a half men.
00:25We're not talking Charlie Sheen here.
00:27Six foot five, Shuji Ishikawa.
00:30I hear that Despy looks like Charlie Sheen.
00:32Wow.
00:33Under the mask.
00:34You've heard, you have so many rumors here.
00:36I got it. Yeah, well...
00:37I haven't heard any of this.
00:38Well, you're hanging out with their own people?
00:41Wow, I guess so.
00:42195cm, 130kg.
00:45He didn't originally, it was a lot of reconstructive surgery.
00:48Yeah, well...
00:51Shin-chou tai-jou fume...
00:56Just that means...
00:57Just that means...
00:58Eren...
00:59Desperado!
01:01Desperado does a lot of tweeting.
01:11Sometimes he tweets at me.
01:16Does he?
01:17Says things I don't like.
01:18Right.
01:19So, when I say this stuff, next thing you know, we're just saying things.
01:23Oh.
01:24It'd be perfect for full-time colored commentary.
01:28Just like to save it.
01:29Oh, yeah.
01:30Right.
01:31Oh, there...
01:32Oh, there...
01:33Haven't heard this entrance theme enough.
01:45Well, and that's really been the story of the tournament, hasn't it?
01:48I mean, for a majority, two out of the three...
01:50Who's the DJ of this place?
01:52Well, who's the DJ?
01:53I need to spin some new hits, but...
01:56Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, will you take a look at that entrance traffic that was just on your screen?
01:59I mean, Dick Togo number two has made his way down to ringside.
02:03Yeah, that is obviously show.
02:05But Dick Togo saying, well, he's stepping away on business.
02:09Is it Dick Togo number two or Dick Togo's number two?
02:13No, well, that's a good question, actually.
02:15Like, did he shit him out?
02:16Well, I was thinking more of the assistant of Dick Togo.
02:19Second to the second generation.
02:22Oh, he's his father.
02:24That's adorable.
02:33Ten bowls of ramen. Look at him.
02:35There we go.
02:37King of Darkness.
02:41Iberu!
02:46Six points on the board for Evil and Don Falling.
02:49Yeah, we're going to hear from Dick Shogo tonight, it seems.
02:53Yeah, I was asking him, I said, are you the openweight champion?
02:57And he was like, never openweight champion.
02:59I was like, I thought you had been the openweight champion.
03:01Yeah, well, show running down the people of Osaka.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Number one, bad town, it seems.
03:11Number one, bad town, it seems.
03:12Number one, bad town, it seems.
03:14Oh, I mean, this is Dick Togo the second.
03:19That's how he wants to be referred to tonight.
03:21Oh, I mean, this is Dick Togo the second.
03:22That's how he wants to be referred to tonight.
03:23Oh, I mean, this is Dick Togo the second.
03:24That's how he wants to be referred to tonight.
03:28Oh, I mean, this is Dick Togo the second.
03:35That's how he wants to be referred to tonight.
03:37That's how he wants to be referred to tonight.
03:44Hey, when I'm so careful, he'd get there to get to the point.
03:47You're as a kid and I'll give up at all the high school kids.
03:51Oh, he's a kid.
03:52Hey, oh, hey, oh, hey.
03:55That's how he wants to be.
03:58Hey, hey, hey, hey, tell your good friends what we want to do tonight.
03:59Hey, hey, hey.
04:00Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
04:02Hey.
04:03We're really doing this guy, I believe.
04:06Hey, hey, hey, hey.
04:11Hey, hey, hey, hey.
04:13Oh, Dick Togo 2 has issued the attack here from Evil and Don Fale.
04:19Now we're going to get this one started.
04:21We've got to get this microphone out of the ring.
04:23Let's get a bell sounded.
04:26We've got to get back in the ring, right?
04:28We haven't even heard the bell so far.
04:30Evil and El Desperado, Don Fale, and Shuichi Ishikawa.
04:34We have not had a bell sound yet, I believe.
04:37These guys should really listen to my commentary.
04:39They would know not to let them take you in.
04:41I mean, you've said it every House of Torture match, and we've seen it every time.
04:45So, obviously, there's been like 15 House of Torture matches.
04:48Well, this is true as well.
04:50It was because we got the big men battling it out, Shuichi Ishikawa.
04:54With a few men that can almost make Don Fale look smaller than usual.
04:59Meanwhile, Evil and El Desperado battling it out here in the arena number two.
05:06Oh, come on.
05:07And Dick Togo the second.
05:09Right in the belly button.
05:10Yeah, putting the fist in.
05:11On El Desperado here.
05:13Dick Tosho.
05:15Oh, yeah.
05:20I mean, have we had...
05:21Alex, have you heard a bell?
05:24Because I haven't.
05:25I have not.
05:25And that means that there's not going to be any legal way to stop this.
05:28I mean, Kenta Sato, he's not going to be able to just sound the bell right now.
05:32It's technically legal, right?
05:33Well, it can't be legal if it's not even sanctioned.
05:38We're going to get it in here now.
05:39Let's get a bell sounded.
05:40Okay.
05:41Now it's sanctioned.
05:42One fall, 30-minute time limit.
05:45I like...
05:45Okay.
05:46Back scratches.
05:47To the already heavily scarred back of El Desperado.
05:52That's a man who has a flavor for the death match.
05:55That'll open him right up.
05:57Cover it.
05:58Tender meat.
06:02Wait a minute.
06:03No.
06:03No, that's not true.
06:04No.
06:04I thought he beat him off a backstrap.
06:10That would be a back rake win.
06:12It's crazy.
06:13Well, that is quite the evil way to win a matchup, but Kenta Sato hasn't even...
06:18Didn't sound for that bell.
06:19Dick Togo II is on the run here.
06:22Oh.
06:23And Ishikawa runs right in to Dodd Follett.
06:27Real cheap.
06:28Real cheap.
06:30Now this match continues on here, fans.
06:32This has certainly been a one to watch.
06:33As six points on the board for both of these teams.
06:36The winner of this match will tie at the top of Block A alongside Yoda, Tsuji, and Kid Kidd.
06:43And we're not going to know if Tsuji and Kid top out Block A until our main event.
06:47If Tsuji and Kid beat Pishman in our main event, they already stand the number one in Block A overall.
06:52They're already through to the final.
06:55To the semifinal, at least.
06:58So we're going to see what happens here as Desperado and Dodd Follett continue to battle it out.
07:04You know, you're just punching and punching.
07:05And just hitting him right in the tin balls around him and getting nowhere.
07:13Whoa, buddy.
07:14Language.
07:26Is Desperado unofficially lost to a back break?
07:30Now, I mean, I don't think the match officially ended.
07:33Yeah, unofficially.
07:34Oh, unofficially, I mean.
07:35So I can tweet that.
07:36So, I mean, I guess so, yeah.
07:38Or exit it.
07:40Wait, exit it.
07:41I'm not leaving.
07:43Stick around.
07:43You're getting paid.
07:44Cover.
07:46Evil at Tsuji.
07:48There we go.
07:50Stay alive there, buddy.
07:51Alex, I mean, can you talk to me a little bit about what it's like to transition from being a junior heavyweight to junior tag.
08:01It's a lot like...
08:02Wrestling as a heavyweight, heavyweight tag.
08:04It's a lot like eating 10 goals wrong.
08:08Which you're not familiar with.
08:09Which I'm not familiar with.
08:10So it's been an uphill battle, but I think I'm doing all right.
08:15All right.
08:17As it applies for yourself, a former junior as a heavyweight, El Desperado is still a junior heavyweight competing in this year's tournament.
08:24And there are not many of them.
08:26Although Takahashi mainly wanted block B, but that's about it.
08:30Yeah, you know, I'm used to being a little bit bigger than my opponent, and now I'm in there with people who are a lot a bit bigger than me, oftentimes.
08:37And just some adjustments.
08:42Making some adjustments.
08:46Desperado could use a couple adjustments right now.
08:49Yeah, well, some spinal adjustment maybe for Desperado.
08:51No, that's great.
08:52No, that's great.
08:53Primarily.
08:54This is...
08:55Yeah, Patrius adjustment.
08:57I can see from here is Patrius is out of alignment.
08:59Wow, that's...
09:00You have an eye for talent.
09:02John Fale, I mean, something out of alignment here, and it might be knocked out by Shuji Ishikawa.
09:08Oh, yeah, well...
09:10He asked for it.
09:12Ishikawa, former All Japan Triple Crown Champion.
09:16Has held top gold nearly every single place he's gone.
09:19Don has won the real-world tag league in Japan.
09:21That's what they call it, not me.
09:23Whoa.
09:24A couple of times, actually.
09:262017, 2019, alongside Suwama.
09:29Kind of rubs me the wrong way.
09:30Yeah, it certainly me too.
09:32That's a different conversation.
09:34Oh, speaking of rubbing it wrong.
09:36Don Fale here.
09:38Watch the ropes now.
09:40Oh, big, big, big.
09:41Wow.
09:45Got a little bit too cocky there to Don Fale.
09:47He didn't need to hit those ropes.
09:49Yeah.
09:51Made the tag, though.
09:52Here comes the battle of the Hosses.
09:54Shuji Ishikawa.
09:55Don Fale.
09:56See the fear in his eyes?
09:57Screamed.
09:59There it is.
10:00Oh.
10:01Little payback there.
10:02Ishikawa, watch this, Alex.
10:03This is incredible.
10:04I'm watching it.
10:05Show me.
10:06Oh, that'll squeeze your ramen out the wrong end.
10:33He's got it.
10:34Well, Ishikawa, it's a big ask for anybody to get Don Fale off your feet.
10:43Ishikawa, no.
10:45One more time.
10:46Same idea.
10:47Wants two more points on the board.
10:50Hold it.
10:51Hold it.
10:52Oh, there we go.
10:53Just a moment.
10:54Oh.
10:55Got it.
10:57Don Fale had to run for it, but he got it in the end.
11:00He hates doing that.
11:02He hates it.
11:03You can tell by looking at him.
11:04He hated doing that.
11:06Tag made.
11:07In the blue corner.
11:08Here comes Evil.
11:10He smokes those cigars, you know.
11:12Does not make you want to run.
11:13Yeah, there's a lung capacity thing there.
11:16And meanwhile, Dick Togo.
11:18Oh, Dick Togo.
11:19That's him.
11:21Oh, and Ishikawa.
11:22Oh.
11:23There he goes.
11:24Oh.
11:25Oh.
11:26And Togo's trying to tap, and still, there's, I mean, this is, he's not an official part of the match.
11:31Ishikawa's got to focus on what's coming up here.
11:33He's tapping out.
11:34Oh.
11:35Uh-oh.
11:36Not this again.
11:42Took the turnbuckle pad off.
11:44Meanwhile, it's the never-open-weight champion.
11:46Oh.
11:47Puts the kick to the cup, Ishikawa.
11:49Oh.
11:50You can't, you know.
11:51Oh, oh, oh.
11:52Oh, no, no, no.
11:53Oh, no, no, no, no.
11:54Oh, no, no, no, no.
11:55Oh.
11:56Oh.
11:57Move it.
11:58Come on.
11:59Cover here on Ishikawa.
12:02Oh, did you see that?
12:04Like nothing.
12:08And Evil right back to the eyes.
12:10Ishikawa's not going to see much now.
12:12But Ishikawa felt it.
12:15And Evil set right into the canvas.
12:17Oh, here he is.
12:18Oh, here he is.
12:22Still feeling it from those, that back break, I think.
12:24Yeah, like slow heaps Desperata.
12:29Oh, going to try Gary.
12:30Oh.
12:31Desperate fights back with one of his own.
12:33Back to the eye.
12:35Oh.
12:36And Evil.
12:37Evil.
12:38Watch out.
12:39Up and over.
12:40Oh.
12:41Back suplex.
12:42Dumped him.
12:43Desperate on the cover.
12:44Desperate for the win.
12:45Two.
12:46But it's going to hold on tight.
12:47Smooth with it.
12:52That stretch muffler felt Desperata.
12:54Oh, his muffler is all jacked up and stretched.
12:57Yeah.
12:58Yeah.
13:00Catalytic converter eliminated.
13:02Straight piped it.
13:04Oh, boy.
13:05There's Van Ishikawa now.
13:09Look at him.
13:10Muffler's jacked up.
13:11Can't go anywhere.
13:12Oh, wait.
13:13Okay.
13:14Ishikawa.
13:15Oh.
13:16Oh.
13:21That hurt.
13:22Oh, yeah.
13:23Oh, yeah.
13:24Oh, yeah.
13:25One more.
13:26Oh.
13:27Triple stop.
13:28Oh.
13:29Oh.
13:30Yep.
13:31Cover here.
13:32Two.
13:33Two.
13:34Yeah.
13:35Cover here.
13:36Two.
13:37Two.
13:38Mm.
13:39Sometimes you're in that position and you're making this decision.
13:40Do I even want to kick out right now?
13:41I mean, it's a difficult one to tell, but when you're this deep in the league, when you're
13:54this close to a tag league semifinal spot, you've got to fight with all you have left.
13:59When it's six and six.
14:01Oh.
14:02Don Fale here.
14:03Oh.
14:04Oh.
14:05Oh.
14:06Oh.
14:07Oh.
14:08It's Ishikawa.
14:10Oh.
14:11Flattens down the big man.
14:12Oh.
14:13Just meat slapping meat there, boys.
14:17Ishikawa here.
14:18Oh, they want that double power bomb.
14:19Oh, no.
14:20Oh, no, no.
14:21Wait a minute.
14:22Oh, he gave it to the ref.
14:23What did he get?
14:24Oh, no, no, no, no.
14:25Oh, he said that there's an issue with his elbow.
14:27And meanwhile.
14:28Dick Jr.
14:29Dick Togo now.
14:30Oh, no, no, no.
14:31Wait a minute.
14:32Oh, he gave it to the ref.
14:33What did he get?
14:34Oh, no, no, no, no.
14:35Oh, he said that there's an issue with his elbow.
14:37And meanwhile.
14:38Dick Jr.
14:39Dick Togo now.
14:40No.
14:41Oh, no.
14:42Oh, he ain't gone.
14:43Oh, Fale.
14:44Fale is just yanked up.
14:45Shuji Ishikawa.
14:46Oh, no.
14:47Not this gimmick.
14:48Oh, no.
14:49What's that?
14:50It's the choker.
14:51It's the choker handed from Dick Togo to Desperado.
14:56Oh, blocked a low blow.
14:58Oh.
14:59Despe lift it up.
15:00No.
15:01No.
15:02Someone's got to win it here.
15:03Desperado could be the man.
15:04Rolls it.
15:05Rolls up to the champion.
15:06Two.
15:07Oh, no.
15:08Damn it.
15:09Damn it.
15:10Give me a damn break.
15:11Eva.
15:12Oh, my.
15:13Two more on the board for the house of torture.
15:309分 47秒.
15:31The amount of effort.
15:32Evil選手.
15:33The amount of effort.
15:34Evil選手.
15:35He almost out in there at the end.
15:37And it's the numbers game every single time, Alex.
15:48Hmm.
15:49And certainly so.
15:50The numbers have worked in the favor of the house.
15:52And they now work completely in the favor of the house.
15:57Evil and Don Fale.
15:59Eight points on the board.
16:02And victory here tonight.
16:04Wow.
16:05Oh, somebody get that fake Dick Togo out of here.
16:10The final part of the world is 9分 47秒.
16:14Evil.
16:15Evil.
16:16Don Fale.
16:17The win.
16:18Well, it is going to be back to the drawing board.
16:32Only one league match left.
16:34For El Desperado and Shuji Ishikawa.
16:37That's going to come against the already eliminated.
16:39House of torture.
16:40Yutro Takahashi and Chase Owens.
16:43December 8th.
16:44We'll be live and in living color right here on NJPW World.
16:54Fans, we're moving right on here tonight to our semi-main event of the evening.
16:57Bolton Oleg and Toru Yano.
16:59Six points on the board.
17:00Take on another six-point team.
17:01And the War Dragons.
17:02Shinko Takahashi and Joe Maloney.
17:03Keep your eyes right here on NJPW World.
17:04Who do I want to win that one?
17:05That's the question.
17:06Well.
17:07We'll talk about that in just a moment's time.
17:08Game.
17:09Show.
