00:00Stay hydrated. Gotta hydrate.
00:02Wait, what's good here?
00:03Hey guys.
00:14Well, it's not just the War Dogs and the Unaffiliated versus the War Dogs and Unaffiliated here tonight.
00:19Look, your semi-manifending evening to preview our second semi-final match coming up.
00:25So that one's just a battle pop, right?
00:27Well, unaffiliated more than anything.
00:29Wait, that's what that means, right?
00:31Two semi-final matches?
00:32Yeah, semi-final tonight in our main event.
00:34Their second semi-final to call them.
00:36Oh, you're talking about the tackling stuff.
00:38December 12th.
00:39Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
00:42How do we have two semi-final matches tonight?
00:45Oh, yeah.
00:45I wasn't calling them. My bad.
00:54Okay.
00:55Okay.
00:59That's a War Dog, but also a Battle Lizard.
01:03No, no.
01:04They're called the War Dragons, Alex.
01:06Oh.
01:07I like Battle Lizards better.
01:08Battle Lizards, I think, is starting to catch on.
01:11Let's see if they...
01:12Fun story.
01:13The other morning, I got up, go to the gym, 6.30 in the morning.
01:17He was in the lobby.
01:18He's been up all night.
01:19Really?
01:19Having, let's say, a good time.
01:21Having some refreshments, if you know what I mean.
01:23Some adult memories.
01:24I hear it.
01:25Here's the other half of the Battle Lizards.
01:28Well, it is the War Dragons, who went all the way to the very end of league competition,
01:34lost out to Hiroki Goto and Yoshihashi to be eliminated.
01:40There's a lot of instances here.
01:42And it is one half of that semifinal to follow after the other.
02:05Game Kid and Yonisuji ending this year's World Tag League, the second-place winners in block A.
02:13Who is on teams?
02:15Who's on whose team here?
02:16These are all on the same team that we're talking about.
02:18Oh, my God.
02:19I know.
02:20It's a lot of men.
02:20Are they going to split them up between all the corners, or are they just going to all be in one corner?
02:24Do all the corners.
02:28Need a six-sided green for this one.
02:31That worked well.
02:35I think that's still going to be a cause, but 1-2-80cm 84kg.
02:39Taiki!
02:41A lot to talk about with Jokurai and Taiki, the guy ending out his 20.25 pro wrestling noah.
02:47Drimmer Moni!
02:53Rampage Dragon, Takahin Shin'Gon!
03:01Rampage Draft.
03:03I would have gone with Raging Lizard.
03:09Would you?
03:10Yeah.
03:11Rampage Dragon works, but Raging Lizard.
03:13Oh, what about Raging Reptiles?
03:16And then they get an RR?
03:18That works.
03:19That's nice.
03:21When do you think these monitors were made?
03:27Rampage Dragon, Tzu-ji!
03:29Yon-ta!
03:30Nah, maybe 90s.
03:32Early 90s.
03:33He was just stating the art at one time.
03:38That's the crazy part.
03:40Still kicking.
03:49Alright, 65 more inches.
03:51Let's go.
03:52Oh my God!
04:18And it is your GHC junior heavyweight champion,
04:22Horomo Takahashi,
04:24going to be kicking off 2026 in a major way with Pro Wrestling Noah.
04:28So is he affiliated?
04:30Oh, he's unaffiliated, but aligned with the Lord of Us.
04:34He's unaffiliated with the unaffiliated?
04:37Yeah.
04:37So he's actually affiliated with the unaffiliated?
04:39Yeah, it's a double negative.
04:40Oh, okay.
04:43And it was these two men who teamed up in Block B competition,
04:46and David Finley and Horomo Takahashi
04:48never exactly got on the same page throughout the turtle.
04:51No.
04:53Yeah.
04:55I think we all used Hidomo as a weapon at one point during our match.
04:59Yeah, I think so.
05:00I think so.
05:02Brings it upon himself.
05:03He really does.
05:05You know, he's just very, you know.
05:09Makes you want to take it out on him.
05:10Hey, look, the guys we beat.
05:12Oh, look at these guys.
05:14We're going to look so awesome with those.
05:16We're going to get the titles eventually.
05:18We're going to look so cool.
05:20They do not.
05:21Look at them.
05:21They look like they have just been nonstop off an ICP.
05:26So if we win them, do we get new belts with red leather?
05:29Oh, yeah.
05:30Yeah, we get them for sure.
05:31Okay.
05:32Look at these guys.
05:33Look, look, family.
05:34It is the IWGP Tag Team Champions.
05:38Alongside Kato here tonight, here comes Oscar and Utah Ice.
05:42Gentlemen, you are correct.
05:44You did manage to put down Oscar and Ice in World Tag League competition.
05:48But it's these two men who managed to make it to the semifinals nonetheless.
05:52Well, had they not?
05:54Broken my neck almost.
05:57It would be a different story.
05:59You don't have to speak semantics.
06:00They refer to him as the fearless leader.
06:20But I've seen him afraid.
06:22I've seen him.
06:25Hiromu gave him a her and Hirana.
06:28He went into a suicide dive.
06:31Right.
06:31And I saw the fear in his eyes.
06:32B Block代蔨 1 team, Ballet Club Uo Docks.
06:38IWGP Tag Champions Team, 2m 1cm, 125kg.
06:46Oscar!
06:48We have no choice.
06:52But to root for them, to hold on to those titles.
06:59Whoop, whoop!
07:03He's going chicken hunting.
07:04I can tell by looking at him.
07:07They should get Vanilla Ice to do their thing.
07:09They should.
07:11Ice, Ice, baby.
07:18They're probably Queen fans.
07:20Alex, I think you keep insinuating that Oscar and Utah Ice are big fans of Insane Clown Bombs.
07:25You know, the other Juggalos.
07:26Are they for real?
07:27He's blown.
07:28Do you know what Oscar's really a big fan of?
07:30Mayonnaise.
07:31Yeah.
07:31Wow.
07:32Mayonnaise.
07:32He's been non-stop writing letters, physical letters, to Faygo, asking for a mayo-flavored Faygo.
07:42Wow.
07:42Yeah.
07:43I don't understand what that's about.
07:46Well, the more you learn and the more you know.
07:49Big Mayonnaise guy.
07:50There's a lot to know about this matchup.
07:53Not just the fact that Game Kid and Yodosuji will take on Oscar and Ice coming up.
07:57Game Kid is not scared of Big Schnitz.
08:00Yeah, certainly not.
08:02December 12th, live in Satsuma Sendai, Kagoshima, Japan.
08:06Your final semifinal will come for World Tag League 2025.
08:10It was David Finley who joined me just a few days ago on English Commentary, gentlemen,
08:13where David Finley told me, hey, if it does come down eventually in some situation to War Dogs versus War Dogs,
08:19it's iron sharpens iron.
08:20And these men are fighting for rank right now in this militantly led Bullet Club War Dogs by David Finley.
08:27Would it be a dog-eat-dog World Tag League?
08:30Yeah, well, I mean, that's one way to put it, yeah.
08:36Whoa.
08:38Whoa, buddy.
08:39Meanwhile, I think referee Marty Asami is going to have his hands full here tonight.
08:44The bell sounds were officially underway.
08:46Yodosuji, Yuto Ice, kick things off tonight.
08:49Ding, ding, ding.
08:50Ding, ding, ding, ding.
09:00Yuto Ice's dream is to go to the gather.
09:04Really?
09:04Of the jugglers, yes.
09:05Oh, okay.
09:08Well, there are a few things I do know for a fact about Yuto Ice.
09:12A man grew up fighting on the streets, the mean streets of Gifu, Japan.
09:16We highlighted that all throughout the World Tag League Tournament this year,
09:19you can certainly see it in the way that this man carries himself i mean a very stark difference
09:23between how uto had to act when he was a young lion compared to the true man that he is today
09:29yeah it's uh impressive that he was able to hold it together in the system
09:35gotta find himself both these gentlemen nothing will find yourself like frosted tips
09:40i wonder if he puts the cap on and then i pulled the strands out i want to see frost it yeah i do too
09:56tag made in the blue corner tag made in the red tiji wants none of that gabe wants all of it
10:02gabe wants every single fight that he can get i mean he's a mad man you know anyone that steps
10:06opposite of gabe kidd is certainly going to be a man that kid runs down verbally
10:13and he's going to run him down physically as well but oscar one of the most
10:16opposed opposing forces you're going to find here in new japan main day
10:31oscar some very heavy hands but gabe kid going to throw a little bit harder for the right
10:37snap and slam
10:43scooping a slam for oscar here tonight big scoop
10:51you know lance i'm going to throw this question to you i think it's been really really impressive how
10:55oscar's been able to grow into his size over the course of his development and you can tell me from
11:00your own experience just how difficult of a process that can be in what especially is a modern day
11:04wrestling landscape that seems to be kind of the little man's world right yeah it's definitely a
11:09different game you know back in the day it was all about the monsters all about the giants it was all
11:13about the big men in the business the business is in essence probably smaller but more athletic
11:18faster uh more acrobatics all those things you throw into a lot of stuff that zane did as a junior
11:23still does it's a heavy because i keep telling him he's a heavyweight but watching oscar who is the
11:30biggest man in new japan pro wrestling right now kind of come into his own and become the monster
11:35uh oh here we go but that's why monster sauce is the best of both worlds
11:41yes
11:43yeah well we're going to be getting all of our worlds colliding
11:46come on with the gold spot when our semi-final hits dave kid and yoda suji take off the knockout
11:51brothers we might be clear all of nakasaki tonight it's come on a little chaos
11:56goodness come on
12:06now ice and king continue to battle now oscar giving chase to yoda ice on the outside of the ring
12:17me too she almost got taken out but she's happy she's amped we might need a camera corded
12:22up into every single side of the building here shingo and hiromo going toe-to-toe tonight
12:27well hiromo lost his footing there okay this is truly iron sharpens iron in every single way
12:35this is uh broken down as they say yeah certainly so referees not even counting 20.
12:41than gary
12:46i don't think he knows who's on teams
12:48oh
12:50i don't think he knows who's on teams
12:58i don't think he knows who's on teams
13:10marty you gotta get a handle on this thing
13:12and this is the worry that we have at the beginning of this match up these team teams absolutely
13:17volatile toward everyone else they step in the ring with the one they step in the ring with one
13:21another oh these groups are absolutely unleashed here who's legal i don't even remember
13:31yeah and it wouldn't surprise me i think kardi asami very well may have to call this one off that
13:39if we don't get legal men inside the ring i think game kid
13:42we're going to try and find his way inside maybe five minutes five minutes past five minutes of insanity
13:53i love that martin's still counting the five count
13:57everything else already lost all control shingo takaku set out here's gabe kid who i believe is your
14:03legal man now oh whatever he chooses i guess oh is gato legal gabe and gato are legal poor gato poor gato
14:21just getting none of his team is there it's just these two people just getting beat up
14:29i kind of like it
14:36there it is
14:40pulled my beard
14:41well takagi getting the wheels back on track here tonight and we're going to take the attention
14:51back to the center of the ring shingo takagi continuing to put the attack in on gato
14:58these teams so strangely mismatched it almost feels like we're living in a different universe here tonight
15:03we're trying to see them teaming alongside one another going after each other's stripes
15:09big double
15:10big
15:12big
15:19oh he's i think he's trying to become a film
15:31very serious discussion happening that translates
15:34and watch this the guy follows up after meloni nice elbow drop there from takagi cover here on gato
15:44and it is not going to be enough to put gato down tonight
15:48and finally here comes the real athlete

17:06there's that fear in his eyes again
17:10we're almost been a bit of a commanding force the past few days on finley and i don't think david's
17:14too happy about it at all figuring it out well how long was it going to take before he turned on it
17:21good technique good technique
17:26all right now it seems as though horrible and finley oh no as soon as they get on the same page well

20:25Oh, got the knee upped in Suji.
20:27How do you get it up there?
20:29Hey.
20:30And Suji again trying to get on the same page,

20:55Wait a minute, Young Lion Taika the guy has made the tag here, I believe.
21:05And yeah, Yuto's not letting up on Kidd.
21:09He's gotta turn his attention to the Young Lion.
21:11The attention's been turned.
21:14In Young Lion now.
21:16Oh, man.
21:17Got him off his feet.
21:30Oh, rocks his feet.

22:32for himself off the back of Finlay tonight.
22:34Spine-bustble.
22:35ları ass hurt.
22:36A huge one there but watch it.
22:37Oh.
22:38We'll peek it ice high and it's three. It's over
22:53Ice high from you know ice. It's all over right now
22:56And uh, wait a minute, what the hell is this? Oh, what the hell is going on now?
23:03That's the United Empire. That's the dumb little punks that we fought.
23:08Calum Newman, Great Okan, J.A.Y. putting the boots in on Hiromu.
23:17I have no idea what that was about.
23:20I'm glad they just beat up Hiromu.
23:24The United Empire were eliminated yesterday from this year's World Tag League by the War Dogs.
23:32By the War Dogs and Hiromu himself.
23:35I have no idea what's gotten into Newman and Okan recently.
23:38But you're gonna have to stay tuned to post-match comments to hear more about that.
23:43But right now, it is the Knockout Brothers, Oscar and Ice, Yota Tsuji and Kid Kid.
23:49The semi-final to come in Satsuma Sendai, December 12th.
23:53Live here in English on NJPW World.
23:56I wonder if Jay was asking Oscar if he had any minutes.
23:58No, he was... he for sure had any minutes.
23:59I wonder if Jay was asking Oscar if he had any minutes.
24:00No, he was... he for sure had any minutes.
24:01I wonder if Jay was asking Oscar if he had any minutes.
24:04No, he was... he for sure had any minutes.
24:08I wonder if Jay was asking Oscar if he had any minutes.
24:15I wonder if Jay was asking Oscar if he had any minutes.
24:17No, he was... he for sure had any minutes.
24:21No, he was asking.
24:23No, he was...
24:26Yota, Ice and Oscar have been able to talk a big talk all throughout this year's World Tag
24:31League.
24:32But in their first ever attempt, they're going to have to put their action where their
24:36mouths are.
24:37Oscar and Ice take on Kid and Tsuji.
24:39Coming up on December 12th.
24:41We will be setting our final for this year's World Tag League tournament.
24:49Today's Sumi-Mai-Dar is about 14 minutes.
24:52Yota, Ice, Oscar, David Minde, and Takashi are winning.
24:57We are winning the game.
