00:00So naturally we'd like them to lose, you know? I'd like for them to lose.
00:21Ah, well.
00:22Yeah, me too.
00:23I can understand the point being made, of course.
00:25It was TMDK just yesterday who looked out, yourselves, Alex Zane and Lance Archer in league competition.
00:31But for right now, it is not the past that TMDK are looking at, but the present into the future, into making history.
00:39Zack Sabre Jr. has competed in many a World Tag League in his career, but it's never won one.
00:45Never alongside Taichi when they were tag team champions all those years ago.
00:49We're going to see if Sabre Jr. alongside his young protege in Rioja can achieve the final here tonight.
00:55To your point, if they look far enough in the future, they will still see Monstersauce.
01:07Because it's going to get sause.
01:10It is Zack Sabre Jr. and Rioja, Oyoa, B2 in this year's Block B action.
01:27We're in the back of the country.
02:54And it all comes off the bat of that man right there in Zack Sabre Jr.
03:01Goto and Zack Sabre have followed each other every single coast from the United States to Japan and beyond in the year of 2025.
03:08But neither man holding the World Heavyweight title at this point in World Tag League allows for Goto and Yoshihashi to reset to their roots.
03:17And it's Bishima versus TMDK, our semifinal, and the main event tonight in Nagasaki.
03:39And if they can win this, how close are they?
03:41They're one match away.
03:43One match.
03:45From their fourth World Tag League.
03:48Yep.
03:49We are set here tonight for main event action.
04:18And Bishima's Hiroki Goto and Yoshihashi take on TMDK, Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oyewa.
04:24Every red shoes, Uno, to keep the action under control for the evening.
04:34But you know there's going to be a lot of heat between these two men, specifically Goto and Zack Sabre Jr.
04:40Trading wins, trading losses, all throughout 2025 for that World Heavyweight Championship.
04:44And it was Zack Sabre Jr.
04:47Who, by the only way he could dethrone Hiroki Goto, coming back in June, had to put Goto on the injured list.
04:55Zack forced Goto to miss this year's G1 Climax just to gain back that World Heavyweight Championship.
05:01Neither man now in the World Heavyweight title picture.
05:03But who's to say Zack Sabre is not afraid to put Goto back on the shelf and force Goto to miss out on Wrestle Kingdom this year.
05:09He does like to exploit some injuries, doesn't he?
05:12Well, yeah.
05:13You came to find that out yesterday.
05:14Lance, I know that you yourself have a history that dates back into your time in Pro Wrestling NOAH and Zack Sabre Jr.
05:24Of course, an incredible student of the Pro Wrestling NOAH dojo, as well as his tag team partner in Ryohei Oyewa.
05:31Oyewa trained in the Noguei dojo, did his excursion over in Pro Wrestling NOAH.
05:36Okay.
05:36He had a lot of success over in Pro Wrestling NOAH did Oyewa, but has not managed to amount to much here back post-excursion in New Japan.
05:44Where it all counts, and for Oyewa to be in this position, and it's the deepest run in a tournament by far he's had in his New Japan career.
05:54Sometimes it takes a little bit of time.
05:57That time coming alongside.
05:59Oh, well.
06:02And it was that right there that Zack Sabre attempted the stomp to the right arm of Hiroki Goto.
06:09That would injure the bicep, I believe, of Goto.
06:12Put him out of action.
06:14And as he tag made in the blue and red corners, we're Ryohei Oyewa and Yoshihashi.
06:23Yoshihashi was somebody who kind of just existed in New Japan Pro Wrestling for the longest time until he found his tag team partner there in Goto, and they've had so much success.
06:33It's been great.
06:34Yeah, you're right.
06:35It's a difficult thing to do to kind of meander around in the mid-card.
06:38What do I do?
06:39What do I not do?
06:39You start throwing stuff at the wall of those slants, just hoping that anything sticks, and that's what the position Oiwa's kind of been in throughout the year.
06:47Well, it's working out pretty good right now.
06:49Yeah, certainly so.
06:52And as Oiwa and Yoshihashi continue to battle it out in the center of the ring here.
06:58Yoshihashi and Goto looking for their fourth World Tag League victory.
07:02They've already set the record with three World Tag League wins in a row.
07:06Has anybody won four?
07:07Nobody has done that.
07:112021, 2022, 2023 for Goto and Yoshihashi.
07:24That'll teach him.
07:24I love it.
07:35Yoshihashi, I mean, you can already see the chest start to red in of Ryoui Oyoa.
07:39Starting to look like your hair there, Alex.
07:41It is certainly a difficult position for Oyoa to be in.
07:45Oh, right there.
07:46Less handsome, but sure.
07:49Yoshihashi, some of the hardest chops to go find on the modern-day New Japan roster.
07:53Look at those heavy brick hands.
07:56You can certainly see it right now.
07:58Worn in the battle wounds for Oyoa.
08:00Oh.
08:09Well, Oyoa hesitated just a little bit too long there,
08:12and that's going to allow for Bishamon to take the advantage.
08:15Come on.
08:15Come on.
08:18Go on, go.
08:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:26Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:29And the beats of the revolution echoed throughout Nagasaki tonight.
08:33in full control you know gentlemen yoshihashi and hiroki goto have been one of those tag teams
08:45up until last year's world tag league tournament where they would be eliminated in the semi-finals
08:50where you almost started to feel like these men were untouchable alongside one another do you
08:55think that there is any sense of doubt in the minds of goto and yoshihashi knowing hey they did it
09:00three years in a row but well to be knocked out in 2024 maybe their momentum has been thrown off
09:05head to the 2025. well i think sometimes you have to have something happen like that to give you the
09:10motivation to get back on track. something we talk about a lot it's something we talked about the
09:19knockout brothers a lot throughout this year as well exactly this idea that if you are sitting at the top
09:24of the mountain for too long you get complacent you get comfortable yep you have to always be on the
09:29chase the hunt for something to keep you at your best and briole oyua certainly on the chase for
09:35something he's never been in before that is a world tag league final well for fighters for competitors
09:41i mean you're always looking for that edge you're always looking for that motivation you're always
09:45looking for that reason to keep fighting you know and like i said with uh bishamon you know the fact
09:50that they won it three years in a row they were on the top of the mountain and then they didn't make it
09:53last year i said if they want to get back to that top of that mountain well here's their path they're in the
09:58semifinals they have to win tonight and they can win the finals and then they can work their way back
10:03into iwgp uh tag team title picture you know we've said that we'd like kob to keep the titles but
10:08the last time we were here in 2023 we actually beat them bishamon as the champions and we never got
10:14our title shot so personally if anybody's going to win this league and go on to possibly beat kob
10:20i'd like to see bishamon do it just so that we can fight them and take the titles from them
10:25but if they don't i want kob to keep it so we can take it from them
10:28anything is better than tmdk winning at this point right well zach saber and riohe oil
10:36are going to starkly disagree with you and you'll notice zach saber jr i mean not afraid to take this
10:43aggressive approach here tonight targeting the left arm of both goto and yoshihashi i mean
10:48zach saber certainly in the mindset of goto if i'm not going to put you back on the shelf i'll put your
10:53lackey back on the shelf it's hard to win with one arm zach has some very stinky farts oh
11:00just putting it out there that's those it's that soy protein
11:08oil went out an incredible combination of riohe oil being a such a power-based wrestler and also
11:17very skilled in the technical that's going back into his days in pro wrestling noah trained under
11:22legendary junior heavyweight yoshinari ogawa yeah what kind of size is uh yoshi giving up here to
11:27quite a bit
11:29quite a bit
11:30tag made in the corner zach saber jr leave your legal man again
11:37a little combination offense tonight they did that crap to me last night
11:46and that's not the way you want to get out of it elbows shoulders everything
11:59been out of place and because you actually used some pretty good english right there
12:03yeah very clearly
12:06zach saber jr continues to hold in on yoshihashi tonight
12:18the way that saber jr approaches technical wrestling is not through a list of a thousand
12:26plus holds it's this idea that well anything i grab i can tear into any different direction
12:30that's what makes him so special as a technical athlete it's often a thousand holds in one
12:39turning a one hold into a thousand positions
12:46between those holds and the strike game is at saber jr many incapable of outmatching this man watch it
12:54saber jr for the uppercut
13:00oh god oh no oh
13:05and watch that now no no no set for the ride
13:08actually reversal there and a suplex for yoshihashi puts this man directly on a flight path
13:15to the red corner got to make the tag to hiroki goto right now
13:20she's ready
13:20and tag made in the red here comes hiroki goto
13:35oh
13:39goto in the corner money and out back suplex follows up in combination zach saber covered down for
13:54the victory and it is goto at two
14:00mishman having a history of putting down oiwan zach saber jr in world tag league it was last year's
14:05first tournament set night for block a where goto would manage to pin rio hey oiwan in ring competition
14:14so bishman have proven tmdk beatable
14:24go to go to go to reverse gtr off the ropes no saber jr
14:42hold the momentum go to build here's the tag for a little kick out
14:47nice big boy
14:52and a cover and a kick out in two for yoshihashi
15:01time for the arm bar or anything they like to they like to keep them under their control that's for sure
15:06watch goto now misdirected and valerian one more time right in the face
15:28there's yoshihashi when you need him the tag made out of the red corner here comes the headhunter
15:32of the running netflix instead of the running blockbuster since blackbusters close
16:01oh yeah maybe so he calls it the headhunter yeah oh okay sorry sorry
16:08that makes more sense
16:12yoshihashi could be looking to drive out and away we all hit oiwa
16:17says otherwise now
16:23yeah it was it was not there enough but
16:31you're gonna have to put a lot of tape on him if he makes it to the finals the tape budget
16:59that's it taking a hit
17:09warriors mentality
17:14back to the arm
17:15uh
17:21i'd say anything to try and stop from getting chopped again
17:31out of yoshihashi
17:37good lord
17:41start seeing some blood
17:44with the blistering on the chest already showing for oiwa this shortened to the matchup
17:48what we're seeing right now gentlemen is do or die shots out of yoshihashi
18:01bishop on no if they lose this is yet another year without a world tag league tournament that they
18:07have walked away with a win do you think if they don't make it that's the end of them oh well i'm not
18:12too certain i wouldn't call that shot that early but well yoshihashi and goto got to try and cut
18:18something up and sabre jr now plants in yoshihashi
18:23oh we want to take it in the sky we've seen this a couple of nights in a row a big boy up there
18:27watch it oh pancake down cover here for oiwa
18:33two two wow that's close
18:41zach sabre jr back to the outside put the attack in on coltso and oiwa left all alone inside that

18:53watch it keep in there dr bob cover
19:03big kick out survival
19:24unique pin combination here time just slowed down on that cover
19:28and even still wasn't enough oh goto beheading oiwa and that's bishman incredible timing
19:38watch it watch it on the shoulders
19:40oh
19:58and bishman working like the well-oiled machine
20:03oil taking a pin out of the dog there look at the chest oh that is disgusting looks like hamburger meat

20:57Yeah, we're gonna find out, and I think we have an answer.
21:00Ryohei Oewa steps to the charge, got it, look great.
21:05One, two, one.
21:07Oh, Yoshihashi up, Oewa again.
21:10Beheading Larry up, cover.
21:13Oewa out.
21:17Fighting spirit, personified.
21:22These two men, what a World Tag League final.
21:28You've got to be able to make it, all the way to Kumamoto.
21:32Good job, good job.
21:47Zack Sabre Jr. posted up in the blue corner, Hiroki Goto climbing to the red.
21:52And both of these sides really desperately need some tags, gentlemen.
21:59Who's gonna get to it first?
22:01Boy, it was a little closer.
22:03Dragging themselves.
22:06It's for what's on the line, that World Tag League trophy to be decided in the final.
22:11You've got to get through tonight to get to Kumamoto.
22:14Come on, Goto.
22:15And they both got it.
22:16Goto.
22:17Zack Sabre.
22:18Yeah.
22:19Oh, oh, oh.
22:20Yes.
22:21Yes.
22:22Oh.
22:23Yes.
22:24Baroque Goto in fuego here tonight.
22:27Yep.
22:28Oh.
22:29Yeah.
22:30Goto on the shoulders here.
22:32Watch it.
22:33Get it out.
22:34Oh.
22:35IWGP champion right there.
22:47Goto wants GTR of the Goto revolution.
22:49No, no, no.
22:50Zack got it.
22:51Zack got it.
22:53Oh.
22:54Folding in.
22:55Goto and this is exactly how Zack Sabre Jr.
22:59won the IWGP world title from Gotoh, ended his reign back in June.
23:05Well, that might be how Hiroki Gotoh loses out in yet
23:12another semifinal World Tag League.
23:16He's digging in there.
23:25Oh, Zack Sabre Jr. tying Gotoh into every single bot that he could possibly picture.
23:35Nowhere to go, nowhere to get anywhere.
23:38I don't even think he can tap out if he wanted to.
23:41It might need to be a verbal submission, Gotoh's going to try and break free,
23:45bring that lower half of the body to the bottom rope.
23:47Oh, no.
23:51Here come the people, they want him.
23:58Oh, he is wrapped up here, tangled up here.
24:04It's almost Christmas, Zack got in like a pressure.
24:08Watch it, watch it, no.
24:12Gotoh turns the pressure to the bottom rope again.
24:16Pure desperation power right there.
24:20Pure desperation, but gentlemen, look at how much damage might have already been done.
24:23I mean, that was over 60 seconds in that hold.
24:28Every single point of the body targeted by Zack Sabre Jr. in one.
24:3520 minutes fast.
24:4220 minutes fast.
24:4320 minutes deep.
24:44We have no time limit here tonight for our main event of the evening.
24:48The semi-final of World Tag League 20-25 rolls on.
24:52Gotoh is the warrior spirit, unlike any other, but how much can he take?
25:19Oh, two on one here.
25:23That's a numbers game you'll never win.
25:26Oh, PK off with his head.
25:33That's it.
25:34One, two, three.
25:35What?
25:39The most resilient man in pro wrestling today is named Hiroki Gotoh.
25:46He almost forgot on the second part that it was a tag team match.
25:49Hmm.
25:52Well, there is only so much.
25:54There are limits to what the human body can take.
25:57And I'm starting to worry about Gotoh going forward here.
26:00Zack Sabre wants it off.
26:02No, no, no, no, no, no.
26:03Yoshihashi inbound.
26:04Toadbreaker from Yoshihashi.
26:06Oh!
26:07Oh!
26:08Oh!
26:09A little snap dragon.
26:12Oh, the men are exhausted.
26:14Twenty minutes in, they've been going bonkers.
26:29The troops are rallying tonight in the Goto Revolutionary Army.
26:43Dishman, roll on here.
26:49And it's Goto and Yoshihashi working like a machine, but Zack Sabre looking to break it down now.
26:55It's right out of it.
26:58Dishman have so many good tag team stuff.
27:01Yeah, they do.
27:02And this is another violent flash.
27:04Gekunetsu, he's in now.
27:07Turn it out.
27:08The lights.
27:09No, no, no.
27:10Oyewa.
27:11Oyewa got Yoshihashi.
27:12Oh, that's not.
27:13Cover.
27:14Cover Sabre Jr.
27:15Oh.
27:16Oh.
27:17Nearly stole it.
27:19Oh.
27:21Oh.
27:22Jeez.
27:23Lariata from Hiroki Goto.
27:31There is only one man left standing, and he may be the man who wins this match for TMDK.
27:39Oh.
27:40Missed it.
27:42Little verse, little verse.
27:43Got him, got him, got him.
27:44Oh.
27:45Wow.
27:46Picture-perfect accuracy from Yoshihashi.
27:49Get out.
27:50Oh, he's gone.
27:51Yeah, he is.
27:52Oyo is out of here right now.
27:53Goto and Yoshihashi all alone inside.
27:55Let's go Bishmuk.
27:56Let's go Bishmuk.
27:57Let's go Bishmuk.
28:07I don't know.
28:08From the top, taking it from the heavens.
28:10Goto.
28:11Goto Shiki.
28:12Oh, no.
28:13Cover here from Koto again.
28:15What?
28:16Hmm.
28:17Zack Sabre Jr. survives.
28:18Oh, no.
28:19Oh.
28:20Get it to, he said.
28:21Not even stopping there.
28:22The violent flash leads on here.
28:23Shoto lights out.
28:24One, two, three.
28:25Call it a day.
28:26Oh.
28:27No, no, no.

29:09Oh, it's hit.
29:10Oh, it's hit.
29:11Wow, I'm not happy about that.
29:13What one hell of a fight.
29:14I'll give that.
29:15Incredible.
29:16Oh.
29:19Gentlemen, you may not be happy about it, but it was certainly a fight that was earned, it was a victory, hard-earned.
29:26TMDK have done it.
29:28One hell of a fight, like I said, all respect to the boys, all four of them, and they're killing each other, kicking each other's ass, but...
29:35Yeah, I was really pushing for Obishmo.
29:43Wow.
29:45For the first time in their respective careers, Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryo Heoewa are set for a World Tag League Tournament Final.
29:59You said he had to find his place.
30:03Looks like he's really close to finding him.
30:05We now have half of our vitals set for Kumamoto, December 14th, live on NJPW World.
30:18Zack Sabre and Ryo Heoewa will battle either the Knockout Brothers or Gabe Kidd and Yota Tsuji, the World Tag League Trophies, delivered to the winner on that night.
30:29God, what a war.
30:31That was a good one.
30:3325 minutes of brutality.
30:44Well, I have to say good night.
30:47God bless.
30:49I'm getting out.
30:50Thank you so much for joining me here tonight.
30:54As Monster Sauce take their lead.
30:56Alex, you sticking around, brother? What are you doing?
30:59I'm headed. I'm out of here.
31:01Okay, well, thank you so much, gentlemen.
31:04This is Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryo Heoewa.
31:08Always a pleasure to have Monster Sauce.
31:15All two of them in the booth.
31:16I had no idea that we could do that.
31:19Hey, Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryo Heoewa, victorious on the evening here tonight.
31:25I cannot wait to hear what Zack Sabre and Oye Heoewa have to say about this.
31:30This has been the fight of a lifetime.
31:32And I'll be quite honest, a hell of a World Tag League run for Oye Heoewa and Sabre Jr.,
31:38whether they win in the final or otherwise.
31:41Good Lord, have mercy.
31:55It is a hard, hard pill to swallow, though.
31:59That maybe, just maybe,
32:00Mishima do not have what it takes any longer.
32:10Terrain at the top of the tag team division.
32:12It is a young man's game.
32:13It is a new man's game.
32:15Ryo Heoewa, for the first time ever, the World Tag League finals.
32:19The World Tag League finals.
32:25It's okay, Zack.
32:26It's okay. It's okay.
32:27It's okay. It's okay.
32:28It's okay.
32:29It's okay.
32:30It's okay.
32:31Okay, I'm going to win the World Ducks League 3.
32:42I'm going to win the TMDK!
32:46I think I know you guys, but I think I'm going to be in this TAC League.
33:02I'm going to be in this TAC League.
33:06I'm going to be talking to you twice.
33:09I'm going to be in this TAC League.
33:23You don't care what you want to say.
33:27You know what I want to do in the ring.
33:33You don't care what you want to do.
33:37You don't care what you want to do.
33:40I'm going to be in this ring, and I'm going to be in this ring.
33:50I'm not just a fight for them.
33:53I'm going to be in this TAC League.
33:58Can I talk to you?
33:59I'm going to be in this ring.
34:02Thank you for the Nagasaki guys.
34:06I have a little bit to say.
34:08It's so hot.
34:09Everybody, thank you tonight.
34:12I'm going to be the TAC League winner.
34:14Yeah, it was good, Roy.

34:17But we're still, we're still, we're still a little bit.
34:20We're soon to the finals.
34:22This year, we're still a TMDK.
34:29We're the chin and the mallet, and the mighty don't kneel.
34:35TMDK have done it, but have they done enough to secure themselves a place in history?
34:57Yes, Zack Sabre Jr.
34:59Ryoho Iowa will call themselves finalists for the first time ever in a New Japan World Tag
35:05League, but will it be enough to call themselves the trophy holders, the tournament winners,
35:12and maybe even future IWGP Tag Team Champions?
35:25Zack Sabre Jr., Ryoho Iowa victorious here tonight.
35:28Wrestling fans, we will be back with more action coming up in 48 hours time.
