00:00.
00:18Whatever your name is, opposite Taheru Ishii takes you on a card.
00:23You know that he's put up on shut-up time.
00:25.
00:29.
00:35Well, Tatsuya Matsumoto will be the tag team partner tonight.
00:40He had to put up with a loss yesterday in Coral Quinn Hall.
00:45Tatsuya Matsumoto had to put up with a lot of vicious, brutal punishment.
00:5230 minutes, 36 seconds.
00:56The time on the clock.
00:58And time and time again, Ishii and Taichi like the Terminators they are.
01:03Just kept on coming.
01:05And Tatsuya Matsumoto kept kicking out.
01:07Tatsuya Matsumoto kept standing up.
01:09And Yuya Urumura.
01:11Oh man, sensational in support.
01:14All the way.
01:16Tatsuya Matsumoto showed.
01:18Tatsuya Matsumoto showed.
01:22In the closing moments yesterday.
01:26At last, that he and Urumura could have what it takes.
01:33So finally, on the third time of asking, put away Oscar and Utah Ice.
01:39The knockout brothers for the IWGP Tag Team Championships.
01:43They all face off February the 11th in Osaka.
01:46But it's a preview of that tag team title match that we're seeing here tonight.
01:50183cm, 103kg.
01:54Rough neck.
01:55Umino Shotao!
02:07There you see Yuya Urumura at ringside.
02:11In the corner of his tag team partner.
02:14He has the benefit of the night off here tonight.
02:22But also Shotao will have the benefit.
02:27Of much needed preview action with the IWGP Tag Team Champions.
02:33Tatsuya Matsumoto, rather.
02:36We have the benefit of big time experience here.
02:40Opposite the Tag Champions.
02:42And they are the Tag Team Champions.
02:46Yuta Ice and Oscar.
02:53Once Young Lions, just like Matsumoto.
02:56Just like before we've already seen in the Young Lion Cup here.
03:01On this evening.
03:03Their bond formed, not in the dojo of Nogue,
03:09but in the New Zealand dojo.
03:16Under the training of Don Fale.
03:18Their bond.
03:20Much closer.
03:22Their blood brothers.
03:24And that's why they're known as the Knockout Brothers.
03:27They went through the Young Lions system together.
03:31They went on excursion together.
03:33They were dominant in Europe together.
03:36And came back together.
03:39This summer.
03:41This summer.
03:42Immediately.
03:43Shot passed.
03:44Ishii and Tai Chi.
03:46To become the IWGP Tag Team Champions.
03:49The first team in over a year to successfully defend those belts.
03:54And it was a sensational first defense they had.
04:13in IwGoku last October at Umino and Urimori's expense.
04:34It was at, during World Tag League that we finally learned that yes.
04:47On certain given nights, a team can beat Oskar and U2Ice.
04:53But, they certainly picked up where it counted.
04:58They beat Urimori and Umino again in World Tag League competition.
05:02And even though it was Yohei Uwe and Zack Sabre Jr.
05:06that won World Tag League.
05:08And New Year Dash.
05:10In an incredible display.
05:13A phenomenal matchup.
05:15A phenomenal showcase in tag team wrestling.
05:20But they recorded their second defense.
05:23And, well, certainly, very little respect.
05:30Said very little respect to be had when it comes to Shotum.
05:36No, it's an Oscar especially.
05:39And they're seeing this as a tune-up matchup, no doubt about it.
05:48Oh, and it might be over already.
05:50Looking for that KOB finish.
05:52But, Mancemolto impressively out of the back door there.
05:55And a second big dropkick.
05:57Trying to wobble the big man here.
06:00Mancemolto, you gotta keep pushing hard.
06:03It's an intimidating sight in front of him.
06:05But you gotta keep going, kid.
06:07Uh-oh.
06:08Umana.
06:13A knee tremble there.
06:14Oh man.
06:15Umana.
06:16Right out in front of me again.
06:18Junior Headway's in our main event here tonight.
06:21That means because of the propensity
06:24for Junior Headway's to fly,
06:26the guardrails have been removed as a safety precaution.
06:29But that doesn't make me feel any safer.
06:32Well, I think we can put a pin in this one already.
06:40The KLB, the KLB, I'm at some old top, and this is done.
06:54One minute, 26 seconds, the Tag Champions didn't even break his sweat.
07:02And it's going to be a much, much harder task, two weeks from tomorrow, February the 11th.
07:19Eight weeks from tomorrow, even.
07:21February the 11th, new beginning in Osaka, the Tag Titles on the line,
07:28and it won't be Matsumoto in Uno's corner, it won't be YuYi Umur.
07:38There'll be a fired up, Uno and Umur with a lot to prove.
07:43A lot of dedication, a lot of determination.
07:47There is a lot of bad blood between these two teams.
08:00A lot of bad blood between YuYi Umur, a lot of bad blood between Oscar and Show Termin.
08:07Umur and Umur fighting, I've fought so hard to earn the respect to the people.
08:24And whether they earn the respect to the champions or not, they're seeking to earn
08:30the gold that's sitting on Ice's shoulder and in Oscar's hand right now.
08:47Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
08:51Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
08:54Oskar will be out here a little bit later on and I'm sure he'll have plenty of
09:01words to say and plenty of thoughts to share about that tag team title match
09:07February the 11th in Osaka on the verge of a set out again Indian Arena, Osaka.
09:16Two extra seats have just opened up, a lot of tickets moving on the strength of
09:23that announcement, that the tag team championship match is official.
09:30World Cup Brothers, KOB, Iba Zizuno and Urumura sent for February the 11th.
09:35Coming up next, Hontai, House of Torch, and a preview again of Osaka title action.
