00:00Is that the first time we've ever been on camera?
00:03Me and you together?
00:04Yeah.
00:05I mean, there was that one video we made.
00:07Do you guys usually get on camera?
00:09I thought they never show people.
00:12Anyways, my dream trios team would be the Florida brothers and Kikotaro.
00:18How good would that be in the Tokyo Dome?
00:21Fantastic.
00:22Well, we had some fun here tonight.
00:32We've had some surprises.
00:34And there were a lot of questions to be answered as well.
00:40I'm sure, LP, that you've heard the same rumors that I have.
00:43What's that?
00:44In terms of new business, new money.
00:47There is a new financial backer, the rumor goes, for the United Empire.
00:51Really?
00:52Yeah.
00:53I never heard that at all.
00:54Well, apparently the rumor is that those two mystery partners, there'll be Calum Newman,
01:00Great O'Connor and Hinari, and X and X.
01:04And whoever...
01:05Double X.
01:06Yeah.
01:07Whoever those double X's are, there is one man that is putting up the money and writing
01:12the checks.
01:13Who is rich?
01:18That...
01:19Well, I mean, the question could stop there, quite frankly, because, you know, I would
01:23like to know who's rich around here.
01:27Well, Elka would like to tell you that he's rich by posting receipts of his sponsored dinner
01:33that he doesn't pay for, pretending that he pays for them.
01:35Well, I think that's the thing.
01:36I mean, Great O'Connor lives a very high, extravagant lifestyle.
01:40Jacob's not rich, wearing a vest too small.
01:44Calum, not rich, only did half his hair today.
01:48Well, Calum Newman is looking to make some money off the backs of David Finley, the War
01:54Dogs, and the unaffiliated.
01:57A lot of aggression, a deep-set chip on the shoulder of Calum Newman.
02:10That makes sense, though.
02:11You know, he's been here for like six or seven years without getting opportunities.
02:16Been here for like two.
02:18Right, exactly.
02:20And was twice IWGP Tag Team Champion this year.
02:25Challenged for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
02:28So he built a very impressive resume.
02:31But for United Empire as a whole, a dismal year faded into the background.
02:38And Calum Newman puts the blame of that squirrely on the shoulders of David Finley.
02:43United Empire has never been the same since the Dog Pound Steel cage match
02:48that ended the New Japan career of Will Ospreay.
02:51Calum Newman said, I'm not motivated by revenge when it comes to Will Ospreay.
02:55I'm motivated by spite.
02:57And I'm directing all of that spite on David Finley.
03:00Calum Newman said he wants to do what Will Ospreay couldn't.
03:03And that means ending the War Dogs.
03:07And Hiroma Takahashi, I think, in the unaffiliated, caught in the crosshairs a little bit.
03:13It's worth a bit.
03:14Oh, my God!
03:15Yeah!
03:17Oh, my God!
03:18Oh, my God!
03:19Oh!
03:21Oh!
03:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
03:36Oh, my God!
03:38Hey!
03:40Well here's a trio I bet you didn't have on your bingo card when it came to the start
03:49of 2025, but it's one we have right at the end, Hiromi Takahashi, Shingo Takagi, and
03:53yes, GEDO.
03:54I kind of like it though, this unaffiliated and War Dogs collaboration, it all came about
04:08the same night that Carl Newman did challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
04:13against Hiroki Goto.
04:14The faction that Hiromi Takahashi, Shingo Takagi, and Yodosuji were in Los Ingobernables
04:19de Opon was dissolved when Tetsuya Naito and Bushi left the company, and so all of the
04:27people didn't have a faction, they were unaffiliated, and that meant they were able to team with
04:32the War Dogs.
04:33We had some great teams in World Tag League, and wow, oh my goodness.
04:36Yeah, get that in microphone, put the microphone to his face.
04:42We're gonna get in trouble.
04:43People wanna hear what GEDO has to say.
04:45What's on your mind, GEDO-san?
04:50Well, it's in a blue street as well.
04:54You see that lady fall?
04:56My goodness, we're gonna be in a world of trouble.
04:59This is dangerous, extremely dangerous.
05:03And this has been the case ever since.
05:07Callum Newman thought that enacting spite, enacting revenge would be Callum Newman and
05:14Great Okan beating Hiromi Takahashi and David Finlay and Walt Tagley.
05:19But that would give them a little bit of closure.
05:21Such was not the case, Finlay and Hiromi won that match.
05:25And ever since, were already a bitter violent individual that Callum Newman has
05:33become, I mean, it's gotten far, far out of control here.
05:38I mean, David Finlay has filed an incestus for Callum Newman, oh my god.
05:54That was dope.
05:55Newman has said in Finlay's absence-
06:01If they're gonna do this at Tork and Chris,
06:05could you imagine what they're gonna do at Wrestle Kingdom inside a sold out Tokyo Dome?
06:11There's gonna be, what, 46, 47, 50,000 people having to get out of the way and
06:17avoid the contact.
06:18All the Young Lions in the world can't help out fans here in the Tokyo Dome on January the 4th.
06:23And somewhere, someone, somewhere is putting the strings here.
06:35Folks, with the United Emperor, someone is funding this.
06:39Someone is encouraging Callum Newman.
06:42Who has a lot of money and
06:51is dumb enough to fund the United Empire?
06:55Who, Chris, who?
06:57Who could it be?
06:57Greater Khan just leveled a chair right over Hiroma in the crowd.
07:06They did ring the bell, Callum Newman and Guido legal right now.
07:13That is not a group.
07:15Jesus Christ.
07:16I don't need new guardrails after this, but.
07:19And there has been a lot of talk over the motivations of Guido Khan as of late.
07:25Guido Khan has showed up and showed up with a son of violence.
07:29We're steady on there.
07:31Guido can swear, you're not allowed to.
07:33Guido, Guido, Guido, Guido.
07:38Just as we all expected Guido to be the most over babyface in the company right now.
07:43Guido, Guido, Guido.
07:45Certainly isn't Guido Khan and it certainly isn't Callum Newman.
07:48He is just leveled a mighty roundhouse right to the sternum of Guido.
08:01And Callum Newman said that he feels at this point he is more War Dogs than the War Dogs are.
08:09Everybody in David Finley's faction has gone soft that United Empire are the killers
08:15that they should be right now.
08:17Certainly we're seeing that.
08:21Sidewinder, the suplex gets two and Guido somehow gets the right shoulder up.
08:26Nice oomph on that by Dre.
08:29Put that little extra power on that.
08:31What?
08:32Jake spinning.
08:33Jacob Austin Young, ever since he was left off the lineup for Best of the Super Juniors this year,
08:38he's had his own chip on the shoulder.
08:40He's had a lot of, a lot more aggression in this ring.
08:43He's been a lot more impressive than Michael.
08:45Look at this.
08:51Yeah, well, mocking Guido with the rope-a-dope here.
08:55And there's the right, Guido trying to make the tag.
09:05Shingo waiting, Callum's gonna cut him off and they're gonna keep Guido right there.
09:09Well, that's what they might look at Callum Heumann.
09:15Just a, a mockery here.
09:19Yeah, good job, Jay.
09:20You're beating up a 60-year-old man.
09:25What are you, like 25, 35?
09:27I can't tell, Jay.
09:28Guido's home.
09:29And again, Yuma goes after Hiromu.
09:37Man, and Hiromu would turn fire.
09:41I mean, at this rate, Hiromu, not just January 4th has to defend the GMC Junior
09:45Heavyweight Championship in Noir and the Budokha on January 1st against DeMaxi.
09:51He might not make it at the hands of the United Emperor, but now they're starting to fight back.
09:55They're running the clock in tomorrow, aren't they?
09:57Pumping Bamagedo into the cover.
10:00Asami there, and man, so is Newman.
10:03Oh, that kick was kind of low.
10:06Well, I mean, they've hardly been fighting clean from the outset.
10:12Watch it, Kessitore.
10:13Whoa.
10:15Face first.
10:16Nice, but Hiromu.
10:17A ball of fire right now.
10:22And there's the claw applied to Shingo Takagi.
10:26Shingo trying to fight back.
10:30Don't bite his hair.
10:32He spends a lot of time on his hair.
10:36Jealous.
10:36Pumping underneath.
10:39Hokan.
10:39Bam, got it.
10:42Daddy's looking good.
10:45Hit him with a three.
10:46Oh, we're gonna miss it.
10:49Oh, this looks very Frantasma-esque.
10:51I know, give him a brain salad.
10:52Oh.
10:54And then gonna feed him.
10:55It's the Kendo Black.
10:57The people are right.
10:58Oh, no.
10:59He's got to go across the back.
11:01Down goes Shingo.
11:02Calum just saved the match single-handedly.
11:11I thought that was gonna be it for sure.
11:16All right, now the tag.
11:17And in the meantime, nobody else has been legal in this matchup except for
11:23Gato this whole way.
11:25And you made your point, he's not exactly a spring chicken.
11:28But he is gonna fall right now.
11:30Fireball, no, that was overkill.
11:34That was overkill.
11:35David Finley's finish.
11:38It's over.
11:41You know Finley's gonna watch that tomorrow when he wakes up and
11:43he is not gonna be happy.
11:48Well, overkill, but it's overkill right now.
11:51Come on.
11:52Get up, young boys.
11:57Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
11:58Shingo, kill him.
11:59Well, Jacob Austin Young has a chair in his hand.
12:01And Shingo Takagi makes the save.
12:04The last few nights we've seen Calum Ewan trying to snap the neck of Gato
12:09inside a steel chair.
12:10Shingo Takagi's gonna prevent that from happening.
12:12Oh, no.
12:19Well, he gets out of the way.
12:20Yeromu making the save.
12:24Yeromu saving Gato's skin right here.
12:28Thank goodness.
12:31I mean, Gato has been a despicable bastard in his time.
12:34Wait, wait, wait, wait.
12:35You little shit.
12:37Shut the fuck up.
12:39Hey, come on, man.
12:41Hey, come on, man.
12:42All right.
12:43I don't know what this is.
12:44I'm going to get out of here.
12:49Okay.
12:49You two, you two, I don't give a fuck about Gator.
12:59X, two X, you know what?
13:03Christmas, right?
13:04You celebrate Christmas?
13:06Yeah, here's my Christmas presents you dumb fucks.
13:09I'll give you one X.
13:12What?
13:14Wait a second.
13:19What?
13:26My name is Andrade El Lido, La Sombra Is Back In Japan.
13:32I am not going to see Tanahashi.
13:37I am not going to see Tanahashi.
13:42I am not going to see Tanahashi.
13:46I am not going to see Tanahashi.
13:53I have business all over the world.
13:59But in Japan, I have a very good business with my friends, mis amigos, mis socios of the United Empire.
14:18Andrade El Lido.
14:19Andrade El Lido.
14:20Andrade El Lido.
14:22Andrade El Lido.
14:25Andrade El Lido.
14:26Andrade El Lido.
14:27Andrade El Lido.
14:28Andrade El Lido.
14:32Andrade El Lido.
14:35Andrade El Lido.
14:39Andrade El Lido.
14:41Andrade El Lido.
14:47Corkin is shook right now.
14:52We haven't seen, I mean the last time Andrade competed in New Japan.
14:56It was just La Sombra, the former IWGP Intercontinental Champion.
15:01What in the world?
15:02What did he get off doing that?
15:09And all this time, they're being bankrolled by Andrade El Idolo.
15:17Andrade, you're an empire, isn't it?
15:22He almost said he must be crazy, Andrade or former Incombenable.
15:30The layers to this, Chris.
15:33Think about this for a second.
15:36Former LIJ.
