00:00Well, later on, we're going to have Jacob Austin Young of United Empire out here in Coventry, and I think he's got a lot to answer to.
00:14We're going to have a lot of conversations and a lot of questions for him, no doubt about it.
00:20We'll put that behind us and we'll move on, and we'll move on to thinking about our main event here tomorrow night.
00:28In Corcoran Hall, El Desperado will get his shot again against the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Doki.
00:36It was far, far too long of a road to get to where we're going tomorrow.
00:52We're here in Corcoran Hall back in October.
00:56Show screwed El Desperado, rather, and made sure that Doki began his second reign as IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.
01:06Doki did everything he could to Doc Desperado, created the Doki Game, a number one contender's four-way match inside the Tokyo Dome.
01:16And tried to do everything in his power to make sure Show won that match.
01:20But it was El Desperado that won it and gets his shot against the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion tomorrow night.
01:26Cousin Torch is starting 2026 on shaky footing.
01:33They lost the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships.
01:36They lost the IWTP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships
01:40and EVIL lost the Never-Operweight Championship to that man.
01:49The Olympic gold medalist, the super rookie,
01:53Junika Aaron Wolf.
02:06The
02:09Yorotoru.
02:12Yeah, I know. High Spirit since ever.
02:16The
02:16Osaka-Fu, Ikena, Sports Shinzen大使,
02:20Wake the Grand Master, Master Wato.
02:29The Direct Drive, Yo-o.
02:36Never the champion of Never, 181cm, 115cm
02:46What an awesome debut it was, January the 4th in the Tokyo Dogs
02:54Certainly allayed a lot of fears did Aaron Wolf
02:58And only the world knows that yes, the guy gets it
03:02and he got the Never-Overweight Championship
03:05Wristled it away from Evil, wrestled it away from House of Torture.
03:35We just asked so many people who have been around the never heard for a six-man championships.
03:44Once you're on the bad side of the house, you can't be the curse that never ever seems to go away.
03:55And Evil might have taken a step back. Evil may have been humbled for one night, January 4th in the Tokyo Dome.
04:03It was the very next night of New Year Dash that Ren Narrington made a statement that he wants next.
04:09And we'll get next, February 11th, New Beginning in Osaka.
04:13And the Tickets are flying in the beginning of Osaka, February 11th.
04:21We're on the brink of a sellout.
04:23Tickets are flying in the beginning of Osaka, February the 11th, on the brink of a sellout.
04:36And I suspect, even off the back of only two matches announced, if you were to rank
04:48the big popular draws thus far, the Radian Arena on February the 11th.
04:53And Red Narita would be fourth of the names announced.
05:04Doki, up to January the 5th, was a double junior heavyweight champion,
05:09but only carrying one belt with him here tonight.
05:12Doki and Sho lost the IWGP junior heavyweight tag team championships.
05:18Two Robbie Eagles and Kosei Fujita.
05:21But later on, we'll see both Eagles and Fujita in singles action
05:25against each of Sho and Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
05:28House of Torture are fighting to regain those junior heavyweight tag belts tomorrow night
05:34in our semi-main event.
05:38And so that theme of House of Torture here in the top of the card,
05:42which is something a lot of people have a lot of criticism over.
05:47On a very regular basis.
05:49But they need to be beaten back.
05:52And El Desperado knows that he needs to regain the IWGP junior heavyweight championship.
05:57And Sander House of Torture falling back to where they belong.
06:02It's a very personal issue between Doki and El Desperado.
06:11These men have been tied together for years, will continue to be tied together for a very long time to come.
06:17Doki made his debut here in New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2019, thanks to an injury by Desperado.
06:25Doki was a late substitution that year into Best of the Super Juniors.
06:30Doki was a replacement, impressed enough to be a part of the Suzuki game at the time,
06:40which was the faction that Desperado was in, as was Taichi, who was a very key figure in Doki's early career.
06:47And it seems like, even though both men, both Doki and Desperado have worn the black hat at times,
06:58but as El Desperado saw the light, it seems Doki did as well.
07:03When Desperado was out with knee injury in 2024, Doki was a fantastic fighting junior heavyweight champion.
07:11And an injury in the Turkey Dome at Wrestle Kingdom 19 changed Doki.
07:17Put him on this dark path, put him into House of Torture.
07:20And just when it seemed like it would be a redemption story for Doki and Desperado to wrestle again,
07:30have that rematch when Doki was healed up and ready here in Cochrane in October.
07:35And along came Doki's personal lapdog in show,
07:40screwed Desperado out of his own junior heavyweight championship reign.
07:45And Doki so traumatized he was,
07:50and being injured in the Tokyo Dome,
07:53and he tried to do everything to avoid wrestling at Wrestle Kingdom 20.
07:58Can't avoid Desperado tomorrow.
08:01And, well, turning your back against House of Torture is never a good idea.
08:06Oh, wait a sec. Maybe that was a good idea.
08:11Great minds think alike. Great minds do think alike.
08:14Great minds do think alike.
08:23The eccentric Yoh was losing some of Toriano's own mannerisms back in the Tokyo Dome.
08:30But Yoh got a little bit too overconfident.
08:34Don't break the pudding there.
08:37And Yoh now being choked as House of Torture taking advantage on the outside.
08:41Over to my right.
08:42Oh, Doki just ringing Desperado off the stage here in Cochrane Hall.
08:47Oh, Ninhua Ren now taking the fight to never openweight champion Aaron Wolf out here.
08:54Hard right fist in the meantime.
08:56Evil and Dick Togo are putting a mug in on Yoh.
09:01What a senton.
09:02The master of the senton still.
09:04Dick Togo into the cover.
09:06Two count only says referee Sakamoto.
09:10.
09:28There's a lot of eyes in the back of your head when you're wrestling house or torture there.
09:32And sometimes it can be quite a surprise when you see Dick Togo applying the wrestling hold.
09:36Jorana's trying to expect the bums rush.
09:38Now the bums rush.
09:39And then it's Ujo Takahashi who gets the benefit of the tag here.
09:44And sits to work on the arm of Yoh.
09:55And then again.
09:57And then he's kind of falling out of the woodwork to the members of House of Torture.
10:01He's having extra punishment, injury, and insult.
10:06An insult to the injury rather.
10:08And House of Torture just last night continued a shaky 2026 thus far.
10:16And it was the members of Hontai being headed up by Yuji Nagato and Aaron Wolf that picked up the victory over House of Torture yesterday.
10:24So everybody's feeling in a cranky mood in the house here tonight.
10:28Even worse than they were coming off the Tokyo Open off of Yuji Nagash.
10:33And that very often makes House of Torture dangerous.
10:38As soon as they own the losing end, they go back to the drawing board.
10:42And Eagle's got a massive drawing board in that house.
10:45And they'll come up with every single plan they can to have double gold back.
10:50And to have the never championship.
10:52A new beginning in those, Takahashi.
10:54But Yuji tried selling that.
10:56To the never operate champion.
10:58The Super Rookie.
11:00And Wolf was in.
11:08Nice snap suplex.
11:11Gonna keep moving right here.
11:13Beautiful elbow drop.
11:14Here we go.
11:15Hook of the leg.
11:16And just about gets two there.
11:18Wolf is having to do an awful lot of learning on the job.
11:31And certainly had a little bit of a case.
11:35You could call it beginning's luck.
11:37You could call it adrenaline.
11:38You could call it an awful lot of things.
11:40But it was a damn impressive win over Evil to win an ever openweight championship.
11:45But one thing that Aaron Wolf has never had to deal with on the judo tatami.
11:52Is a leg-based submission.
11:54You don't get leg-based holds in judo.
11:57And that's exactly what Red narrative knows.
11:59That knee bar is absolutely vicious.
12:02And Wolf is really struggling here in that hold.
12:06Finally, now he does make the bottom rope.
12:08Let's talk about pro wrestlers as their career lengthens.
12:19The damage on the knees starts to accumulate.
12:23And Wolf may be new to pro wrestling.
12:27But right now he's making sure.
12:29Keep it up for lost time when it comes to damage to those ligaments.
12:35And the check there as well.
12:36But oh!
12:37Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
12:42Get someone off your back.
12:45Master Watto waits for a tag.
12:48And he's got it.
12:49Here we go.
12:54Super Junior winning at Watto.
12:56Being in the left high.
12:58Master Watto wants to be a Junior Heavyweight Champion in 2026.
13:03It'll be El Desperado that gets the first shot, Dick Togo, making sure Rato doesn't get the momentum, and here come the troops, all the house of torture, whoa, my, fear in the decks, and poor Abe-san just took a terrifying spill into our bleachers.
13:28Familiar sight for poor Abe, but that was a pretty painful one.
13:32In the meantime, though, Rato has Dick Togo, one in the sunset flip, one in Vendor Ball, perhaps.
13:39Togo down with the chip again.
13:42Look at this, La Magistra, oh no, stuffed his Togo, oh, nearly surprised Rato.
13:49Still one of the best junior heavyweights that there's ever been is Dick Togo, and look at the crisp mad work there, he's nearly, oh, he nearly had it, he nearly had it, Dick Togo.
13:59And that would be a turn-up for the books, it would be an upset.
14:03And I'm going to make coming right out here in front of me.
14:06Desperado and Doki tearing in each other's masks, but it's Dick Togo, the shoulders tearing, the Vendor Ball, the submission, but we need to get a look right here.
14:14All the while, as that hold applied, Master Watto making use of a distracted house, but it was Desperado that was tearing at the mask of Doki.
14:20And Doki was doing the same to his challenger tomorrow night, just like it was yesterday in Chiba.
14:30This man even barks around the ringside, and he wouldn't mind taking the mask off the face of Doki tomorrow night tomorrow night tomorrow night tomorrow night tomorrow night.
14:40with his junior heavyweight championship, but for now, one tie up.
14:47And yes, that is another loss.
14:50And yes, that is another loss.
14:52And it's just like it was just like it was yesterday in Chiba.
14:55In 2026.
15:25And it's February 11th for the titles on the line for Aaron Wolf.
15:33And it's tomorrow night that the title's on the line for Doki against Del Desperado.
15:38The event will have live English coverage for you all the way here on NJPW World as we keep rolling here in Word to New Beginning.
15:48And it's a new beginning.
