01:45How long, Knockout Bros? This is what we came here for!
01:47Oscar coming up against each other?
01:49Oh yeah, that's gonna be something to talk about.
01:51Oh yeah, that's gonna be something to talk about now.
02:09Nearly three months and counting for Oscar and Utah Ice, the Knockout Bros.
02:13It's IWGP Tag Team Champions, and we're not gonna have to wait any time soon.
02:21These two men are already getting added, these four men rather.
02:23Oscar and Ice take on Zane and Archer here tonight, Donovan.
02:26We haven't even heard the bell sound yet.
02:29The fans would definitely be afraid of having these two giants around him.
02:35Yeah, I mean, you yourself, I believe, can speak a lot to the growth that Oscar and Ice have had ever since they first left New Japan to go on excursion in early 2024.
02:47They made some stops through the New Zealand Dojo.
02:49I know Oscar has had a lot of conversation to the media about your role in helping him to really work like a big man, wrestle like a big man.
02:56And Oscar has really taken a lot of that to become new Tag Team Champions now.
03:00Yeah, it's lost art, I believe.
03:04Right.
03:05I believe the big man style.
03:07So, you know, he's gonna learn a lot of stuff from Archer as well by matching up at this one.
03:19Definitely gonna learn that.
03:21Yeah, I mean, Oscar named yourself and Lance Archer as two of his biggest influences during his days as a young lion.
03:29And in a lot of his steps back to home Tag League 2043, whenever Oscar first teamed alongside and wrestled against Lance Archer in the other 50 preview tag team matches when Oscar was a young lion.
03:41And it was Lance Archer who said, oh, hey, I'm gonna give you this red bandana.
03:46You're gonna wear it for the night when you team alongside me.
03:49Oscar saying to the media, well, that was the first time it felt like anyone ever believed in you.
03:53And now Oscar all these years down the line getting to wrestle as IWGP Tag Team Champion and back against Monster Sauce in 2025.
04:01Yeah, it was amazing.
04:02It's been here for years and they've gotten to the level they are in that.
04:06You're looking at Yuto.
04:08It's an amazing transformation from that guy.
04:11The character he's showing is just out of this world.
04:16Yeah, Yuto is certainly one that you're gonna want to keep your eye on throughout this night.
04:21I mean, one of the hardest hitters that you are gonna find.
04:25And meanwhile, we're tearing apart ringside right now at Ehime.
04:29So what the hell are these two men thinking?
04:31The Knockout Brothers trying to take out Lance Archer early here.
04:34No, no, no, no, no.
04:36Oh!
04:39And face first goes Archer into those chairs.
04:42I think there's a good tactic to get rid of the big guy in there.
04:46Turn on the smaller one.
04:48Wait a minute, wait a minute!
04:49Holy hell!
04:50Oh my goodness.
04:53Oh!
04:54Didn't expect that.
04:56I don't think the people of Ehime expected it either.
04:59Saw it out of the corner of our eye.
05:01Alex Zane.
05:02Oh ho ho!
05:05Belt thrown into the air and hopes to replace that belt with a shiny new one that reads IWGP
05:11whenever he wins World Tag League.
05:13But he has to, alongside Lance Archer.
05:15Put down the Knockout Brothers.
05:17Tag made, rather the bell sounds.
05:19And a two count only.
05:21We are officially underway with this match tonight.
05:25Well that just shows the experience.
05:27Difference.
05:28This is the most amount of fire that we've seen out of Alex Zane and Lance Archer all tournament at long.
05:35And it's been all fun and games for Zane and Archer up until tonight.
05:40He has a cover and a kick out at two from Utah Ice.
05:44You have to think, Don, that the reason that we're seeing so much fire out of Zane and Archer here is because Zane and Archer know that they're on the risk of elimination.
05:53If Monster Sauce lose this matchup, then they are going to be out for this year's World Tag League.
06:07They are going to be out for this year's World Tag League.
06:09They've got a stampede out here.
06:11They're going to be out for this year.
06:12They're going to be out for this year.
06:13Yeah, there is a stampede of children running right in front of us.
06:14I mean they're running away from the monster.
06:15That does shot me.
06:16We have no seats, Lance Archer just wiped out their entire seats over there.
06:21And now, meanwhile, it is Oscar and Alex Zane here tonight.
06:26Oh, and Oscar, I mean, you cannot let Don,
06:29you cannot let these personal issues get in the way
06:32of what matters most, and that's the points that go
06:34on the board by the end of the night.
06:36If Oscar does not stop staring down the illegal man
06:39in Lance Archer, well, he's got to start focusing
06:42on Alex Zane here.
06:46And Alex Zane's certainly the focus now.
06:48Tag made in the red corner.
06:49Here comes Utah Ice.
06:52Come on, come on!
06:56Come on!
06:58Come on!
06:59Come on!
07:00Come on!
07:04I think Oscar using his experience of taunting Oscar,
07:09and I think Oscar has started to fall for it.
07:12Yeah, it's not too hard to get under the skin of Oscar
07:15and Utah Ice, and, well, Alex Zane and Lance Archer
07:18might just have to pay the price for it.
07:21As watch the knockout brothers here.
07:23Watch the call from Utah.
07:27Come on!
07:28Better hope I don't get my ass in there.

07:52Yeah, Oscar into Utah now.
07:53Well, wait a minute.
07:54Wait a minute.
07:55Zane might try and take one here.
07:56Two count only on Utah.
07:57Four points on the board for Alex Zane.
07:58Want to even up that record.
07:59Six and six here.

17:04Yeah, certainly so.
17:05I'll tell you this right now, Don.
17:09I've had both Lance and Alex join me in the English booth throughout this tournament.
17:14It was 2023 where Monster Sauce beat the then-IWGP Tag Champions and Hiroki Goton Yoshihashi in this tournament.
17:23Now in 2025, oh, they've beaten the reigning Tag Team Champions again.
17:28Knockout brothers, you live up to your name.

17:34But everybody dies to Monster Sauce.
17:38You are the IWGP Tag Team Champions.
17:44But we beat the IWGP Tag Team Champions.
17:51We need to win one more, Alex.
17:55Then we can go to the semis.
17:57Then we can go to the finals.
17:59Then we can win the World Tag League.
18:01And then we can win the IWGP Tag Team Champions.
18:31Lance Archer and Alex Zane have staked their plan for a semifinal spot.
18:39There is still more work to do.
18:42And it's going to be coming up very, very soon live in Pupuloka on December 9th.
18:51Oh my God!
18:52Oh my God!
18:52Lance Archer and Alex Zane have won the IWGP Tag Team Gold.
19:05They've already beaten the Champions, Don, but they have to win the tournament.
19:08They're coming for the IW Tournament.
19:12Top right ahead.
19:14There's still a lot of top fighters.
19:16Yeah, you're right.
19:18They're going to need a little bit of help to walk away with the tournament in a semifinal spot.
19:27Yeah.
19:29Come on!

19:40What's he doing?
19:41What's he doing?
19:46Oh, he's just lost.
19:57I thought he was coming over here.
19:58He doesn't want any of this.
20:00Well...
20:00You don't want any of this, mate.
20:02That's what it feels like.
20:06Oscar and Ice have been put through absolute hell here tonight.
