00:00Hello, Pro Wrestling fans. My name is Walker Stewart. It is time for New Japan Pro Wrestling's World Tag League 2025 Night 12, live from Kihoku General Park Gymnasium in lovely Ahime, Japan.
00:15It is time for six-man tag team competition to kick us off here on the evening.
00:19Thank you all for joining us here on this lovely Sunday afternoon. Things have gotten a whole hell of a lot darker with House of Torture now making their way down the ringside.
00:32It is Kujiro Takahashi and Chase Owens who walk in on the evening to World Tag League competition to preview their final league bout here tonight.
00:42Their last league outing, just about 48 hours to go, took down Satoshi Kojima and Taichi for two points on the board.
00:54Well, the gun-slinging Lone Star Outlaw alongside the Tokyo Pimps must be easy to understand what outlaw business Chase Owens has found himself in alongside the Tokyo Pimps here tonight.
01:21Chase Owens and Chase Owens, Tadidro Takahashi in beautiful Ahime, Japan competing in World Tag League 2025.
01:38And doing so tonight on the evening.
01:40Run line, Shumagato going to stare up and down every single side of the house.
01:51Meanwhile, talk about curvature, talk about angles.
01:54El Desperado and Shuji Ishikawa, the team unanimously dubbed two and a half men.
02:00Shuji Ishikawa and El Desperado looking to compete in preview action ahead of their final World Tag League bout.
02:06Oh, and we're already getting started here tonight.
02:22And it is referee Red Shizuno who is going to sound for the gong here on the evening.
02:26Chase Owens and El Desperado coming toe-to-toe here tonight.
02:30And it is quite the odd sight to see the way that El Desperado has been paired alongside Shuji Ishikawa.
02:37Mismatched in terms of its size and opposition here.
02:40For the junior heavyweight El Desperado, the heavyweight athlete Chase Owens.
02:44And much the way that Chase Owens first made his way to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
02:48Started as a junior heavyweight.
02:50Competed on the American Independent Wrestling scene before being scooped up by the National Wrestling Alliance.
02:55In his debut in New Japan as the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion.
03:00Now, while the National Wrestling Alliance has taken a lot of different shapes and forms in the year of 2025.
03:06And it is Chase Owens who makes his way out of the blue corner.
03:09Here comes Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
03:12Failed in challenge for the Super Junior Tag League tournament this year.
03:16Did Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Dick Togo.
03:18And speaking of Dick Togo, allegedly scheduled to be on the card here tonight.
03:22In an eight-man tag team competition.
03:24We will be seeing Dick Togo alongside Sho here tonight.
03:28Who, well, allegedly will be competing as Sho and not what we've been seeing the past few nights.
03:33That's been Dick Togo number two.
03:35So, for one, very interested to see an eight-man tag team competition here tonight.
03:40And your penultimate bout in Block B to come your way this evening is the reason we see referee Red Shizuno in our opening match this evening.
03:49Our main event soon to come.
03:51Shota Umino and Yuya Uemura walk in tonight on six points.
03:55Take on House of Torture, Sonata, and Red Narita.
03:58An opportunity to take the lead in Block B here tonight for one of these two teams.
04:04And it is a lot of teams that we'll talk about in Block B all throughout the evening.
04:07Stacked on six points.
04:09So, certainly a need-to-win situation for all who currently stand in tonight at four.
04:14And, well, Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi a lot less than both of those two points on the board.
04:20With a victory over Satoshi Kojima and Taiji.
04:22Cover here for Yujiro.
04:24And a two-count only on El Desperado.
04:26Looking to finish strong in this year's World Tag League.
04:29Our Owens and Yujiro.
04:30Cover again.
04:32Two-count only.
04:35Now, will it be possible for Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi to do just that?
04:39Well, that is a question that is on everyone's mind.
04:41And the final opportunity to come against El Desperado and Shuji Ishikawa.
04:46Maybe alive by the slimmest, barest of chances.
04:50But still life left in this year's World Tag League tournament.
04:53It's going to be a very, I mean, very close race, wrestling fans.
04:56The very end of Block A for Shuji Ishikawa.
05:02And El Desperado both is now the German suplex.
05:06And Yujiro finds the mark.
05:07Going to need to make the tag sometime soon.
05:10And here comes the 6'5", former All-Japan Pro Wrestling Triple Crown Champion.
05:16And it is Ishikawa well endorsed in the Zen Nihon ring.
05:20So we talk all the time about Ishikawa's Triple Crown Championship status.
05:24That's one of the highest status titles that Ishikawa has held in his career.
05:28But has competed freelance all across the wrestling scene.
05:31From Big Japan to DDT to, well, here tonight in New Japan.
05:36Oh, and Ishikawa.
05:39That is a harsh, harsh landing there.
05:41Ishikawa for the cover.
05:43And a two-count only here tonight.
05:44Well, Shuji Ishikawa promises a giant driver here on Yudro Takahashi.
05:59Yudro says otherwise.
06:01And it is Yudro who's going to take the step out here now.
06:05Ishikawa, the knee lift.
06:06But no, Owen's looking to lift up something a little bit bigger.
06:09Oh, and a huge pursuit there for Yudro.
06:13Finds the jaw of Shuji Ishikawa.
06:17As Owen's in Yudro now.
06:19Bam.
06:20Knee directly into the spine of both men.
06:22Chase Owen's going to keep the young lion at bay at House of Torture.
06:25Look to do what House of Torture do best.
06:28But failed to do a lot of the times out in this year's World Tag League.
06:32Have Chase and Yudro.
06:33And that is put down.
06:34Their opposing team managed to maybe turn a new leaf with Taichi and Kojima the other day.
06:38Yeah, these two men are really going to struggle here against Shuji Ishikawa tonight.
06:48No double line.
06:49Not going to work out.
06:50A double area here for Shuji Ishikawa is going to find the mark here.
06:57And it is Shuji Ishikawa showing out a major way.
07:01Going to have to make a major tag.
07:02Here comes Katamaru.
07:03Here comes the young lion, Shobakato.
07:09And watch Katamaru.
07:11Beautiful head scissor takedown tonight.
07:13And Kanamaru going to have to do something a little bit more to try and throw this young lion off his game.
07:19It has been an incredible showcase as of recent for young lion, Shobakato.
07:23Well, incredible and incredulous.
07:28Two certainly different words, distinct from one another.
07:31Two distinct athletes here.
07:33We're talking about Katamaru and Katamaru.
07:38Only one of these two men going to win out in the battle.
07:40And it is Shobakato.
07:43Huge suplex here tonight on Katamaru.
07:46Cover here for the young lion.
07:48Two count only.
07:49Meanwhile, the action continue on the outside.
07:55El Desperado has Chase Owens wrapped up.
07:58And Yudro wrapped up by Ishikawa.
08:00Can Shobakato put a wrap on this matchup here tonight?
08:04It's going to take a little bit more than that to put down at Rushnobu Katamaru.
08:08And watch here.
08:15Katamaru hung up on the top there and hit Kata.
08:19And Nobu now going to try and plant one away.
08:22Touch out.
08:22No.
08:23Inside cradle.
08:24Cover.
08:25Two count only.
08:30Katamaru coming in hot.
08:32Big back suplex tonight.
08:34And Yoshinobu for the cover for the win.
08:38Still two only.
08:44Yeah, well, if that back suplex wasn't going to be it, the Boston Crab certainly will.
08:48Yoshinobu Katamaru so well versed with this hold.
08:51Shobakato, meanwhile, trying to find his way over to the ropes.
08:55Trying to find any sort of escape.
08:57Any reprieve.
08:58There is no reprieve here on Katamaru.
09:00It's over.
09:01The tap made.
09:02Young lion Katamaru is out of here.
09:04Well, it is victory here tonight for House of Torchery.
09:19Well, victory is not going to matter too much.
09:21I don't think Red Shizuno is too happy.
09:25Well, with the actions of the house, sort of be out here in our opener.
09:28But, nevertheless, early day's job done for Red Shizuno.
09:32And, meanwhile, House of Torchery.
09:37Still a lot of work left to be done on the front here tonight.
09:40Chase Owens and Yudro Takahashi with two points on the board.
09:44And these two men are going to be looking to find victory on the evening.
09:48Coming up, 24 hours time.
09:52We will be live in Hiroshima.
09:54And it's going to be Chase Owens and Yudro Takahashi against El Desperado and Shuji Ishikawa.
09:59The final night of Block A competition comes here tomorrow.
10:02By the way, you'll have to hold a hammer, baby, I'm a long star at all.
10:09From the south of the north to the real frame, baby.
