00:30It is house of torture that make their way down to ringside here tonight, and it is going
00:47to be far from the last time that we hear this music blare in the evening, Yoshinobu Kanamaru,
00:54Sonata, and Renda Rita, all with a sinister intention as always, darkness has been cast
01:01over this year's world tagline.
01:24Sonata, Sonata, Sonata, Narita, Laira.
01:33Sonata, Sonata, Naira.
01:38Young Lions Shomikatsu alongside your Hontai representation in El Tesperado.
02:08And your freelance representation in this year's World Tag League, former All-Japan Triple Crown Champion, Shuji Ishikawa.
02:18And it is Shuji Ishikawa, El Tesperado, and Shomikatsu victorious.
02:24Well, many a time throughout this year's World Tag League, Tesperado and Ishikawa at the very least.
02:29But none of it was enough to lead to a semi-final run out of this year's Block A.
02:38Shomikatsu, Shuji Ishikawa, El Tesperado, taking on a House of Torture.
03:04That is Renderita, Sonata, and Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
03:11And we get set for in-ring competition here on the evening.
03:15Your next match to come.
03:16And many of our matches to come, six-man tag team affairs.
03:19But as it stands here on the evening, it is Sonata and Renderita that will take the time out.
03:25Yoshinobu Kanemaru to stand toe-to-toe.
03:27A long, long history between these two men at El Tesperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
03:33Many a battle, some of which for junior heavyweight gold, many of which alongside each other for junior heavyweight tag team championship gold.
03:40While we're on the subject of tag leagues in New Japan for wrestling, Kanemaru and El Tesperado, your 2021 Super Junior Tag League winners.
03:48And sadly, for both of these men with different respective partners, Dick Togo with Kanemaru, Kukai with El Tesperado, neither team managing to win this year's World Tag League.
04:01However, the question still remains as to if anything is to be done regarding our IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions, Sho and Doki.
04:11Doki choosing to not compete at the Tokyo Dome this year, rather, a number one contender's bout scheduled involving El Tesperado, Sho, Kosei Fujita, and Taiji Ishimori.
04:24A four-way bout set for the Tokyo Dome, crown a number one contender for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
04:30When will we see that junior heavyweight title match take place? I'm not too certain.
04:34Could it be in Ota General Gymnasium for New Year Dash?
04:37Could it be in Osaka for New Beginning in Osaka come February?
04:40I'm not too certain, but the question still remains.
04:43Why in the world would Doki deny a Tokyo Dome payday?
04:48Maybe, maybe just maybe it was because Doki knew that a multi-man match was more than likely to take place.
04:55Doki does not want to be in a position to defend that junior heavyweight title against more than one opponent.
05:01Hell, I don't think Doki wants to defend that title at all.
05:03Doki does not want to defend that title.
05:06There's El Tesperado here.
05:09Yeah, I'm sure that clapping in the ear of Desperado is going to do a lot of good from that fan.
05:14As, meanwhile, Young Lion Shobokato has been sent to the chairs as well.
05:17We're going all around Zon Arena Satsuma Sendai tonight.
05:21Doki does not want to defend that title.
05:21As I am certain, I am completely and utterly certain
05:27that the house is set to be ringside alongside show.
05:31Coming up at Wrestle Kingdom 20, a sold-out Tokyo Dome
05:35awaiting El Desperado show Kosei Fujita and Taiji Shimori
05:39to crown a number one contender for that junior heavyweight goal.
05:44Meanwhile, it is Kanemaru and Desperado back inside the ring,
05:48and the road to the Tokyo Dome continues to heat up here.
05:51As a shot right to the midsection of El Desperado,
05:55tag made in the corner, and here comes Ren Dorita.
06:00There's no true position on the Tokyo Dome card to come well.
06:04Oh, hold on a minute. Hold on a minute.
06:06How the hell did Ren Dorita get that?
06:08That was the hammer for the gong that starts and ends our matches here tonight.
06:15Ren Dorita had back-pocketed that gong,
06:17and that is certainly not where you want it to end up.
06:20Right across the face of El Desperado.
06:23As I was saying earlier on, there is no true position for Ren Dorita
06:26to come in this year's Tokyo Dome card.
06:29Could we maybe see Ren Dorita end up in the Never Open Week
06:32six-man tag team championship Rambo matchup?
06:35Tortellano, Mastruato, and Yo scheduled to defend
06:38in a, well, it seems to feel limitless Rambo matchup to come your way.
06:43And that will celebrate the 10-year anniversary
06:47of the Never Open Week six-man tag team titles.
06:49Or will we be seeing Ren Dorita in a very different light coming up
06:54alongside Sonata, alongside the entirety of the house,
06:57when Evil takes on Aaron Wolfe.
07:00And Aaron Wolfe, gold medal Olympic Judica athlete,
07:04competing in a pro wrestling ring for the very first time in his career,
07:07January 4th, 2026, Desperado looking to take a trip to paradise.
07:14Desperado says no and is going to reject that ticket.
07:19Sonata still looking to cash it in, though.
07:21Up and, oh, basement dropkick.
07:24Lands out for Desperado on the night.
07:25Now, meanwhile, Shuji Ishikawa making for the tag here.
07:34Shuji Ishikawa makes it.
07:36Oh, and this is a freight train that has been rolling
07:39all throughout World Tag League this year.
07:41Fifty years of age plus is Shuji Ishikawa.
07:46And he has been moving like he's in his ripe 30s.
07:49Watch it.
07:50Double stop right to the midsection of Sonata.
07:53Cover here for Ishikawa one more time.
07:56Still not going to be enough.
08:00I, for one, have found it incredibly impressive
08:02to see Shuji Ishikawa make the appearances he has
08:06here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
08:07Watch Ishikawa now.
08:09What's that giant driver?
08:10And it's not going to happen.
08:12The fire thunder fought out of Sonata.
08:17Back to fluidity here for Sonata.
08:19But Ishikawa moving a lot more like oil than water.
08:23Oh, and a low blow.
08:31Oh, that is a cheap shot right there from Sonata to Ishikawa.
08:35And doesn't shock me whatsoever to see it.
08:37Five minutes have passed in this matchup.
08:45We have a 20-minute time limit here tonight.
08:48Sonata and Narita now came very close down to the wire
08:51in Block B competition.
08:53In this year's World Tag League found themselves
08:55eliminated by the end though.
08:58As Narita and Sonata went to the eyes.
09:00Ishikawa and Desperado like fighting in the jaw.
09:03But a low blow.
09:05Double up tonight for House of Torture.
09:08And tag made in the right corner.
09:15Here comes Young Lion Shomakato.
09:19Oh, the world is against Shomakato here right now.
09:22It certainly feels as such with Young Lion Kato
09:25being yanked out of the ring now by Kanemaru.
09:28No, no, no.
09:30Kato, Kato turned it around.
09:34These Young Lions are getting smarter and smarter by the day.
09:38As Shomakato feeling a lot more like a young pigeon right now.
09:42Flipping and flying all around the ring.
09:44Kato.
09:47And watch Kato win.
09:49There's that forearm shot to Narita.
09:50Former World Television Champion, Brent Narita.
09:53There's a cover here.
09:55Hook of both legs and a two count only.
10:04As watch Shomakato here,
10:06trying to get his hips underneath him.
10:08Red Narita knows certainly what it's like
10:10to be in this position as a Young Lion.
10:12But he's going to have to try and avoid the position
10:14that he's in right now.
10:18Scoop and a slam.
10:19Suplex here for Kato.
10:21Cover here tonight.
10:23Still not going to be enough
10:24to put down Narita.
10:30And sat down deep here tonight
10:32for Young Lion Shomakato,
10:35the Osaka native.
10:36Trying to do all in his power,
10:38but Ren Narita,
10:39a little bit smarter in the game here.
10:42Narita making his way directly to that bottom rope.
10:45An incredible technical athlete
10:47with incredible wherewithal
10:48inside that ring is Narita.
10:50And it's not something we get to highlight often.
10:52And now that Narita has joined the cheap shot
10:55that has been the house.
10:59Narita now,
11:00a little pinpointed and targeted attack here.
