02:29When you're in the ring with them, you can feel the experience.
02:34You can taste the seasoning, you know?
02:44Gabe looking like a machine.
02:53I mean, certainly so lean and mean in every single way is Gabe Kidd.
02:58And the meaner side of Kidd has seen, well, a lot more recently, thanks to a few disagreements he's had with his own World Tag League partner.
03:07We're going to talk about that heading into our main event here tonight.
03:12Gabe Kidd and Yodosuji have not seen eye-to-eye Alex Zane ever since they were live for NJPW World Action in Yamanashi.
03:20It was El Desperado and Shuji Ishikawa taking on Gabe Kidd and Yodosuji.
03:26Gabe Kidd wanting to take things hardcore.
03:29El Desperado and Shuji Ishikawa saying, sure, we'll go hardcore tonight.
03:34Yodosuji putting the kibosh on that, saying, no, this is a new Japan Pro Wrestling ring.
03:39This is World Tag League.
03:41That is not how we do things here.
03:43Well, the way that that match ended up going, things went hardcore whether Shuji wanted it to or not.
03:48And, well, luckily for Gabe Kidd and Yodosuji, it would end up winning them the match.
03:53But it would also lead to Gabe Kidd getting put through a table, a pile driver from Shuji Ishikawa out of the apron.
04:00So a lot of damage has been taken from Gabe Kidd in this year's tournament already.
04:04Yodosuji not too happy about it.
04:06These two not on the same page tonight.
04:08That table doing a little damage to the right arm, Gabe Kidd.
04:19And for all the damage that's been done to Gabe Kidd, he brought it upon himself.
04:23IWGP, Global Heavy Q Champion, Jean Blasto, Tsuji Yodosuji.
04:33You know, you hear a lot.
04:36Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
04:38And I wonder if they've checked Shuji's wardrobe.
04:41Well, this is a wonderful question.
04:44And we may have an answer here tonight.
04:46I think she's in Shuji's closet.
04:48Well, maybe so.
04:52There's a couple other things that might be in Shuji's closet.
04:55We're not talking skeletons.
04:57Come January 4th, 2026.
05:00Shuji bringing the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship out of the closet.
05:03He's out of the suitcase bringing it to the arena here tonight.
05:05It's what a good champion does.
05:06It's something that Kanosuke Takeshita, as IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, can't exactly say for himself here in New Japan today.
05:13Right, right.
05:13It is Yodosuji versus Kanosuke Takeshita coming up January 4th, 2026.
05:19A tall glass wall.
05:21Certainly so.
05:22We're talking both sides of that equation for Suji and Takeshita.
05:25But truth be told, all the pressure in the world on the shoulders of really this leader of the current generation, that's been Yodosuji.
05:33It's not been Uemura on the way that Uemura will hold.
05:35It's not been Shota Uemura, it's sure as hell.
05:38Not been Renderita.
05:39It's been Yodosuji out of this mainland Japan cast of individuals who is taking the mantle as global champion and saying,
05:45I want to go after the World Heavyweight title.
05:47And still now in the lead for World Tag League 2025.
05:51So all the pressure on the world on Suji over the next few months.
05:54Right.
05:54Do you think anything like that is in the strategy of having him start this match tonight versus Gabe Kidd starting?
06:02I really don't know if there's been that strategy talked about between these two ever since Yamanashi.
06:06Ever since that big disagreement they had in the match with Desperado and Shuji Ishikawa, I'm just not too much certain.
06:12Yeah, I heard they were separate in the locker room.
06:16They don't even really speak.
06:19And there is one person that I want to note, absent from ringside here tonight.
06:23And it may be based off the result that we saw in this match earlier on in the evening.
06:28But that's Gato.
06:29And Gato has been the one who's really been trying to mitigate all these different War Dog unaffiliated teams we've seen in this tournament.
06:35And it's Vishima on, will you take a look at that?
06:38Yeah, Gabe Kidd coming in on the wrong side there.
06:41And oh, right onto the midsection of Yonisuke.
06:48And the beats of the revolution tonight.
06:52Beat him like a drum.
06:53Look at the killer bicep, my brother.
06:59Yeah, you're right.
07:02As Gato and Yoshihashi now continue the assault here on the current IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion.
07:10And we return to conversation here.
07:12I mean, Alex, it's been so interesting to see throughout this tournament.
07:16Tsuji and Kidd really fired up a unified force heading into this year's tournament.
07:20It was right off the back, in fact, of Tsuji defeating Kidd for the White Belt himself.
07:26Defeating him for the Global Heavyweight Championship.
07:28Sometimes, you know, you go to war with someone like that, and that, you gain a little bit of respect for each other.
07:36But the split between these two men has not come over, oh, we suffered a loss, and now we don't like each other, oh, we can't exactly agree on who's going to start the match, who's going to end the match.
07:49The disagreement has come over as a complete difference in ideology when it comes to pro wrestling.
07:54Yonisuke walking a traditional linebacker in Yonisuke, Gabe Kidd, throwing caution to the wind here.
07:59And right now, this looks a lot like a Gabe Kidd strategy that we're seeing, keeping things on the outside of the ring.
08:05And it's Tsuji...
08:06Oh, okay. Language.
08:12Like it or not, Osaka has long been known as War Dog Country.
08:17And Gabe Kidd, one of the finest War Dog representatives, especially in our main event here tonight.
08:24I mean, it's been a stressful point, you can imagine, for Gato, who is not at ringside right now,
08:30has been trying to barely hold together the team of Moromo and David Finley.
08:34Meloni and Takagi are getting on well enough together at least, but then, now you have this wrench thrown in the plane with Gabe and Tsuji not seeing eye to eye at this point.
08:41All right.
08:42And it is Yonisuke here who's going to pick up the scraps from Gabe Kidd, try and bring Hiroki Goto into the ring tonight.
08:58Fans, we want to stress the point situation right here. Yonisuke and Gabe Kidd at eight points.
09:06If they win this matchup over Bishamon, they will officially be solidified as your number one team in Block A, even if, well, they lose their next outing.
09:15It's coming up on December 8th.
09:17Bishamon.
09:18Bishamon.
09:19It's certainly something they want to do.
09:20Yeah, certainly so.
09:21I mean, they could solidify their position in the semifinal.
09:23Meanwhile, Moroki Goto and Yoshihashi, they find a victory here tonight over Yonisuke and Gabe Kidd.
09:30It keeps them in the best spot possible, right away.
09:33Yeah, Tsuji and Kidd have really been the most dominant team in this year's tournament by a mile.
09:39This match.
09:40Yeah, certainly so as well.
09:42Tsuji, watch it.
09:43Now Tsuji, the avalanche.
09:46Cover.
09:46Two.
09:48And you'll notice it in tag team wrestling sometimes, Alex, I mean, you could certainly see it between yourself and Lance.
09:59A lot of vocality, a lot of talking back and forth between one another.
10:02This is the first time that we've seen Gabe and Tsuji really have any communication so far, and Tsuji didn't even have a word to say back.
10:09Yeah, it's interesting because they have completely separate, like, different ideologies.
10:13They're not communicating, but somehow end up on the same page.
10:17Five minutes past.
10:18Gah!
10:19Oh, wow.
10:20Gah!
10:21Gah!
10:22Gah!
10:23Gah!
10:24Gah!
10:25Oh, I'd rather get chopped.
10:27Yeah, I mean, you hear the snap on that one from Gabe Kidd.
10:30Look at the melon.
10:31Look at that melon.
10:32Gah!
10:33Gah!
10:34Gah!
10:35Gah!
10:36Gah!
10:37And he doesn't care.
10:38Gah!
10:39Gah!
10:40Gah!
10:41Gah!
10:42Gah!
10:43Gah!
10:44You know, if there's one thing, and there's not going to be a lot, but if there's one thing
10:48that continues to unify Gabe Kidd and Yota Tsuji, it is wanting the world to see New Japan Pro Wrestling
10:54as the greatest pro wrestling organization in the world.
10:57Gah!
10:58Gah!
10:59They have the same idea.
11:00Oh, but Gotoh had a better one.
11:02Oh, there it is.
11:03Gah!
11:04Gah!
11:05Gah!
11:06Gah!
11:07Gah!
11:08Gah!
11:09Gah!
11:10Gah!
11:11Gah!
11:12Gah!
11:13And Gotoh going to make the tag of the red.
11:14Here comes Yoshihashi.
11:15Oh, and Gabe, a little stutter step there, just now realizing Yoshihashi an illegal man.
11:22Misjudged the distance there.
11:27Yeah, Yoshihashi alongside Gotoh at his absolute best.
11:31There is no team in block A that is running as smoothly as Bishamon are.
11:37There's no team with more experience in the whole tournament.
11:40It's Gabe Kidd minorly rocked here by Yoshihashi.
11:52Going to have to continue on the assault right now.
11:55I want to put this one away sooner than later.
12:01Hashi now off the ropes caught by Kidd.
12:08Big exploder suplex from Gabe Kidd.
12:19The dogs have come out tonight in Osaka.
12:21And there's got to be a bigger bite here.
12:24Alex, I know you're a man who loves himself a big bite.
12:27I do.
12:28Gabe Kidd going to try his damnedest here.
12:31Oh!
12:33Those are some of the worst shots you can take, Alex.
12:35I've been talking about it all night.
12:37Absolutely.
12:38That's fine!
12:39Yoshihashi does not appreciate it.
12:44I'm a madman, you know.
12:47Oh!
12:48He is a madman.
12:50Let's go!
12:58That's fine!
12:59Oh!
13:00Oh, man!
13:01Let's go!
13:05Let's go!
13:06Let's go!
13:08This is the War Dogs favorite thing to do.
13:12Well, I mean, it's a testament of Will, Alex.
13:18Gabe Kidd wants to stick his chest out into the air
13:21and show the world what he can withstand.
13:24That's fine!
13:25Which is a lot.
13:26Oh, it's one of the most.
13:28That's fine!
13:33That's fine!
13:34Wow!
13:35Come on, motherfucker!
13:36That's fine!
13:38Yoshihashi, some of the hardest chops in pro wrestling today.
13:43Rapid fire.
13:45That pale skin of Gabe Kidd starting to redden underneath the pressure of Yoshihashi.
13:51Come on!
13:53Get back!
13:55Whoa, whoa, whoa!
13:57Good God!
13:58Cover!
13:59I thought it might have been it.
14:02The element of surprise for Gabe Kidd here.
14:05Yoshihashi!
14:06Oh, no.
14:07Yoshihashi blocked it.
14:08Turn Kidd inside out!
14:18Tsuji communicating now.
14:20Yeah, that only communication.
14:23Come on.
14:24Tag me in already.
14:25Right.
14:26Tsuji wants in this one.
14:27I wake up.
14:28Here we go.
14:30Whoa.
14:31Whoa-ho.
14:32New Japan Cup 2024 finalists.
14:37Maroki Goto and Yota Tsuji.
14:39One, two.
14:40Damn.
14:41Maramasa out of the corner.
14:43Goto, back suplex, lands it.
14:46Cover here again.
14:47Two.
14:49And Goto, Goto has Tsuji up on her shoulders.
15:06And here comes Yoshihashi.
15:08It's the mark of great.
15:09There we go.
15:10The mark of great tag wrestling.
15:12Knowing when your partner needs you in there.
15:14These two do it so effortless.
15:16Goto, Goto Shiki.
15:19Hard to find someone, uh, boom.
15:22To find a team more on the same page.
15:25Oh, and now, did you see that?
15:26Cape Kid.
15:27A little warning shot there to Yota Tsuji, I think.
15:31Should have spent more time protecting his partner
15:34than antagonizing him.
15:35Meanwhile.
15:36Mm-hmm.
15:37Zero.
15:38Watch it.
15:39Whoa!
15:40Assisted reverse GTR.
15:42Three.
15:43Come on.
15:44Two.
15:51It is our main event of the evening.
15:53Tsuji and Kid have to win this one.
15:55Oh, he's got a minute.
15:56Whoa!
15:57Whoa!
15:58Whoa!
15:59Whoa!
16:00Fuck you!
16:01Kid off the ropes.
16:02Goes on the shoulders.
16:04Ushi!
16:05Oh, wow.
16:07Tsuji, Tsuji, Tsuji, Tsuji, Tsuji.
16:11Tsuji, Tsuji now wants to play it out.
16:13Toto!
16:14Oh!
16:15He's got him!
16:18Didn't have enough to grab the leg.
16:21There are bodies all over the ring and pouring to ringside.
16:26And as the ring continues to empty, there are two men who are left in the wake.
16:42Yoda, Tsuji, and Hiroki Goto one more time.
16:47He's gonna be first to their feet.
16:54To their feet.
16:57Wow.
17:03Whoa!
17:06Yeah.
17:15Yeah.
17:17No.
17:38Inverted GTR, Matt with the knee, Soji, headbutt from Yota.
17:44The global heavyweight champion might have just rocked himself.
17:47A little bit.
17:47But he's got to rock his way into a victory here.
17:51Oh.
17:52Oh, and what the hell is Gabe Kidd doing here?
17:55Soji had this one in the back.
17:58What a gun.
17:58This certainly isn't helping.
17:59No, it's certainly not.
18:01You're giving Goto and Oshiyashi too much time here.
18:03Oh.
18:12Two heads are better than one.
18:15It's really putting their heads together in this one.
18:16Oh, finally, Kidd and Soji.
18:19Double suplex on Goto.
18:21Gabe Kidd your legal man.
18:23But we cannot forget that Yota Soji had that Gene Blaster ready.
18:27Now wait a minute.
18:38Wait a minute.
18:38Kidd and Soji.
18:40No, no, no, Soji held down by Yoshihashi.
18:42Goto and Kidd going at it in the ring.
18:44No.
18:49Oh.
18:51Out of nowhere, the Gene Blaster, the Kidd.
18:56And it's Bishamon on full throttle.
18:59Wow.
19:03Get up to his head from Bishamon.
19:06Gabe's legal.
19:07Gabe's the legal man.
19:10Been taken out by the Gene Blaster.
19:12And now Chantal lights out.
19:18It's over.
19:20Bishamon on eight points.
19:43You know, like you asked earlier, looking at the other block
19:47and watching how it's going over here, just in preparation.
19:53A lot of really dominant, strong tag teams.
19:58And a lot of notes I have to take back to Lance.
20:02I truly believe it.
20:04And I can see it all with the action we saw here tonight.
20:07Alex Zane, it's been an absolute pleasure to have you.
20:10And Hiroki Goto and Yoshihashi by Victory here on the evening.
20:14The main event of the World TAC League A-Block, the main event of the World TAC League A-Block,
20:20is the victory of Goto and Yoshihashi by Victory here on the evening.
20:26Victory tonight for Goto and Yoshihashi.
20:30The Goto Revolutionary Army standing strong on the evening.
20:34Oh, there has to be words between these two shared ahead of their battle with an already eliminated Satoshi Kojima and Taichi.
20:43It's coming up in Block A on December 8th.
20:52Incredible.
20:56These two have to find themselves on the same page this deep into the tournament if they want any chance of making the final.
21:05But for tonight, we're going to hear from Hiroki Goto and Yoshihashi.
21:13How's your Japanese?
21:18You want me to translate?
21:19No, I'm okay.
21:20Well, a massive thank you here tonight from Hiroki Goto to the people of Osaka.
21:28I'm the first year last I got the heavyweight champion in Osaka and I got the world heavyweight champion to understand already.
21:53Wonderful.
21:54Last time I was in Osaka I had the , I had the WGP bench.
21:58But as you can see, I don't have to wear that belt.
22:11I think there are a lot of people who have been doing this last year.
22:19I've always been on the second, Yoh-chan.
22:35And I've been on the front of my back, Yoh-chan.
22:44And now, I'm going to be a young man who wants to enter the Guto革命軍.
23:03The 5th Amendment is still over.
23:14Matumoto, you are the perfect 5th Amendment.
23:33Tatsuya Matsumoto and the GOTO Revolutionary Army.
23:36I want to make this happen to you guys.
23:38Nice haircut.
23:41I want to make this happen to you guys.
23:52I'm going to give you a shout out to you guys.
23:53Thank you very much.
23:59I'd like to end with G-Town's name, but...
24:12What's G-Town's name?
24:15Do you know what's G-Town's name?
24:20Matzomoto, do you know what's G-Town's name?
24:28It's G-Town's name.
24:34That's right.
24:39Let's end with the last one.
24:46Let's go!
24:48The G in World Tag League stands for Goto tonight.
25:01That's what they were just deliberating on, I believe.
25:04Oh, that's a smart kid in young lion Tatsumatsu Hoto.
25:08Kid who is four years older than I am, but I digress.
25:11Hiroki Goto and Yoshihashi, victory here tonight, eight points on the board wrestling fans.
25:17That's going to be all for us here in the English broadcast booth as Hiroki Goto and Yoshihashi make their way out of the building.
25:25Incredible night.
25:26Yeah, it was an absolute pleasure.
25:28Alex, what was your match of the night?
25:29What do you think?
25:30That's the main event.
25:31Maybe.
25:32Maybe.
25:33The War Dragons.
25:34Oh!
25:35They earned their name in my opinion tonight.
25:37Oh, there you go.
25:38Incredible.
25:39That was great.
25:40Well, coming up in about 48 hours, wrestling fans will be live for night 12.
25:44And Alex, any words that you have for your opponents coming up on the evening?
25:48As always, when I see you, I will eat you alive.
25:53Itadakimasu.
25:54It's been a pleasure and an honor.
25:56Thank you for having me.
25:57Well, thank you so much, Alex.
25:58You can take your leave.
25:59I'm going to close up the broadcast here tonight.

26:16We're going to be moving right into December 7th in Ehime in Kihoku General Park Gymnasium

27:02I'm out of the gate.
27:05I'm out of the gate.
27:07I'm out of the gate.

29:27I'm a big fan of the Fischer Mon.
29:37Of course.
29:39I'm a specialist of TAG.
29:43I'm a big fan of TAG.
29:52Last year, I lost my belt in March, and I lost my belt in March.
30:05I lost my belt in March, but I lost my belt in March.

31:10OK, I lost my belt in March.
31:14We're going to make a bear difference.
31:19OK, I lost my belt in March, and I lost my belt in March.
31:25Yes, I'm going to win the World War II.
31:28Let's get to the end of the World War II.
31:31Okay.
31:35Let's get to the end of the World War II.
31:38One thing I'd like to say is that
31:42I don't want to jump into the World War II,
31:47but I don't want to be a unit.
31:49I want to learn more about the World War II and learn more.
32:01I wanted to do this.
32:06I don't want to do it.
32:08My career is the shortest young man.
32:13I'm going to say that I'm going to win the World War II.
