01:38Callum Newman off the stage here in Corcoran
01:47Newman driven for so long by Spike two years ago David Finley drove Callum Newman mentor Will

02:26and the tough.
02:30Geez, Finlay and Callum Neumann went flying off the stage to our left here.
02:37Oh!
02:40It's a demolition derby.
02:44And Cora Cora Holt tonight, Jacob Austin Young and Gedo
02:51in the match officially underway.
02:55And still hardly any sportsmanship or fair play.
03:09Not a Greco-Roman Holt there.
03:11That is a full-blown choke from Gedo.
03:15And turning the air blue here tonight as well.
03:18Finlay and Hiromi yesterday got the Duke over Callum Neumann
03:23and Jacob Austin Young.
03:32Oh, fine.
03:37It's really just wiping out Watanabe here at ringside.
03:41Your pitch, this has gone full-blown out of control here.
03:44This has gone out of control.
03:46It didn't really start in control.
03:48Come on, Gedo!
03:50It started when Umbound Company jumped Jacob Austin Young before the bell.
03:55And it's gone downhill since then.
03:57And I think...
03:58Kenza Sato.
04:02You might want to call this one, but I think naturally at least we have somewhat settled down.
04:04And only somewhat.
04:05And only somewhat.
04:13Jacob Austin Young, Francesco Akira will be our first match on the docket for February the 11th.
04:19Man!
04:20What a standing moonsault.
04:21Akira right there gets two.
04:22And...
04:23Well...
04:24Thanks Sato abonishing Finlay, who is certainly going to make the cut.
04:26If the count had continued.
04:27Akira and Jacob Austin Young looking to face Hiromu Takahashi and Taiji Ishimori.
04:28A key start to what is a key nine to the end of the match.
04:29And now...
04:30Francesco Akira will be our first match on the docket for February the 11th.
04:32Man!
04:33What a standing moonsault.
04:34Akira right there.
04:35Gets two.
04:36And...
04:37Well...
04:38Thanks Sato abonishing Finlay, who is certainly going to make the cut.
04:43If the count had continued.
04:48Akira and Jacob Austin Young looking to face Hiromu Takahashi and Taiji Ishimori.
04:53A key start to what is a key nine for United Empire specifically.
05:01It is up and down the card.
05:05A chance for United Empire to really rewrite the pecking order here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
05:14To make good on the games that they've had with Jake Lee joining the faction.
05:21With Hinare's return.
05:22With Akira's return.
05:23The elements are there.
05:24But if United Empire are going to take the lead here in New Japan in 2026, well they've
05:38got to on every level prove victorious.
05:42Most of all, at the top between Yota Suji and Jake Lee for the IWGP Everywhere Championship.
05:47But I would say close second in significance.
05:51Calum Newman and David Finlay.
05:53Newman has tried to make an example of Ghetto as a means to get to David Finlay.
06:08And Finlay has been away.
06:12And now Finlay making the save.
06:19And here's Unbound Company mentor Hiromu Takahashi clearing the apron.
06:25And now much, much needed tag.
06:27And for the first time they're legal.
06:29Newman and Finlay.
06:30Newman taken right inside out.
06:43David Finlay sees a lot of himself in Calum Newman.
06:48I actually had a conversation with David Finlay earlier on this morning.
06:54And Finlay said that, to be fair, Calum Newman at age 23 is a much, much better wrestler than
07:02David Finlay was at the age of 23.
07:05And the sky is the limit for Calum Newman as long as David Finlay is around.
07:11Into the cover of the Irish Curse and gets two.
07:14Certainly wasn't cheated on the cover.
07:15All of the rape was right on the shoulders of Newman, who still managed to power out.
07:20We're five minutes deep in this one.
07:21It has been a wild affair from the opening bell.
07:26It has been a wild affair from the opening bell.
07:45Savage King takes aim at the Prince.
07:47Gonna charge.
07:48And Newman getting quick here.
07:55Nice.
07:58And Finlay roars back.
08:05I think that is the question we're gonna find an answer to at New Beginning in Osaka.
08:10We've seen Calum Newman's almost limitless potential.
08:15We bore witness to it in 2025, when he was the youngest to ever challenge for the top championship
08:22in professional wrestling against Hiroki Goto.
08:27But does he have enough in him to be arguably the top dog when it comes to our international competitors here in New Japan Pro Wrestling?
08:37To beat David Finlay.
08:39He's the opponent himself.
08:43Right at the top of the card.
08:45We'll find out in Osaka for Akira as well.
08:48And Jacob Austin Young.
08:50Against Hiromi Takahashi and Taiji Ishimori, two of the men.
08:54Hiromi Ishimori El Desperado, we always called them the big three in junior heavyweight wrestling.
08:59He's dominated the last decade in New Japan Pro Wrestling in the junior heavyweight scene.
09:08Hiromi Takashi, the winner's best in the Super Junior competitor of all time.
09:12But Akira, who's so badly, and may be badly beaten here tonight, but he gets the shoulder up.
09:20Akira, who so badly wants, desires, needs to be IWGP junior heavyweight champion.
09:27He cannot be back until he proves he's a clear step above Hiromi and Ishimori, and that's the story opening us up February the 11th.
09:37Hiromi has really done it all several times over.
09:45Will not be his first go around in Osaka.
09:51You might say that he has lapped the field several times over.
09:55And for Akira, a chance to get a huge pass and a massive stomp through the gut here.
10:03And watch Akira wave the boys on.
10:08Akira last night, a massive main event victory coming at the expense.
10:15The fireball from Akira completely catching Ishimori blindsided.
10:27And then that crown full finish of his giving Akira the victory.
10:33Whoa, Hiromi.
10:36My lord, just elevated Kyle Newman right up.
10:39He's still landed, quick as a cat.
10:41Hiromi in a ton of danger here.
10:43Bang, as Hiromi was caught in the tree of woe.
10:47Akira, cover again, cover again.
10:51And Finlay, again makes the same.
10:54And with that crown folded, Akira.
11:12Wouldn't be the biggest statement in his career to date.
11:16Vigedo Blasin, Jacob Ostinion.
11:19And well, okay, it started in carnage.
11:22It's continuing in carnage here.
11:24Over goes the Prince.
11:28Oh, they don't get along great as a tag team.
11:34But when they're winning, they sing it.
11:38Hiromi-chan bomb it.
11:40And up goes Akira.
11:43Time bomb 1.5 is not gonna do it here tonight.
11:50Here we hear Finlay give encouragement to Hiromi Takahashi.
12:02Akira trying to work his way free.
12:07Trying to escape the fake.
12:10The time bomb.
12:11The no, the cover, the shoulders, the shoulders.
12:15Gets two again.
12:25Takahashi on the run here.
12:27Hiromi caught it.
12:28Caught it, powerbomb.
12:29Look at the stack.
12:30All of it there.
12:32Oh, so much strength needed from Akira to kick out of that one.
12:38And meanwhile, talk about a test of strength.
12:41And David Finlay like two balls over to my right.
12:44Just rolling all over the floor here.
12:47Trying to get the upper hand.
12:49Either make a save or prevent one.
12:51Hiromi meantime.
12:53He's got Akira lands on his feet.
12:56Dragging on the fireplex perhaps.
13:00Jacob Austin Young had gotten three.
13:05Austin Young had gotten three.
13:09The assist, the dragon, the fireplex.
13:12Hits two.
13:13A little set up Akira here.
13:22He's at best of the Super Juniors last May.
13:24That Akira scored a huge singles win over Hiromi.
13:28With just that move.
13:30The fireball bait.
13:31I got you.
13:32And now crosses the legs over the crown fall.
13:41Crown fall right there.
13:44Dead center here.
13:45Hiromi.
13:46Hiromi.
13:47No answer.
13:48No answer for Hiromi Takahashi.
14:02To Francesco Akira.
14:07And you can see it was all over by the shouting.
14:10There's a lot of shouting still to be done.
14:12For David Finlay and Caleb Newman.
14:14They're brawling all over Conquered Hall.
14:16And they're going to fight all the way to Osaka in nine days time.
14:31Is that the scene?
14:33Is this the scene on February the 11th?
14:36Is this the scene in Indian Arena in Osaka?
14:41Oh, Francesco Akira and Jacob Austin Young going to depose.
14:45It's not just Hiromi but Taiji Ishimori.
14:47Are they going to set their dominance?
14:50On the two of the junior heavyweight big three.
14:52Yesterday it was Ishimori.
14:56Tonight Hiromi Takahashi.
14:58Akira has a list and is working his way through it.
15:02If you're Kosei Foodster Robbie Eagles, the junior heavyweight tag team champions.
15:14If you're Donkey or Master Watto.
15:17The champion in the next seeming challenge for the IWG PGD Airweight singles championships.
15:24You have to be looking at Jacob Austin Young and Francesco Akira.
15:28And you have to be sweating and sweating hard.
15:30Let's go!
15:31Let's go!
15:32Oh, today He's just a few days away.
15:34Let's go!
15:37breaking his tie.
15:39No, this is a magnet.
15:43This is a magnet.
15:45Get out trying to make the save here.
15:50Kedo's trying to make the save here.
16:20Kedo Desperado ringside on Japanese commentary and I think clearly the message for Akira being delivered to Despe.
16:43After Ishimori and Hiromu, Despe will be next to the big three for Akira to overcome.
16:49But first, Hiromu and Ishiroi at Edeon Arena Osaka in nine days time.
