00:30New Japan Cup 2026
00:31It is Young Lion Tatsuya Matsumoto
00:33That takes on Young Lion Taisei Nakahana
00:36To kick off our action
00:37Tonight in Numazoo
00:49And there you see your lovely
00:51Japanese broadcast booth as always
00:53Solo in the evening
00:54Your English broadcast
00:55My name is Walker Stewart
00:56And we are getting into the action here tonight
00:58Young Lion Taisei Nakahana
01:00Takes on Young Lion Tatsuya Matsumoto
01:02In a 3-0 record
01:04That's going to go the favor of your senior most Young Lion
01:07That being Young Lion Tatsuya Matsumoto
01:09The man who managed to defeat Taisei Nakahana
01:12Back in Cork and Hall
01:13At Nakahana's debut pro wrestling matchup
01:16It was back on March 4th of 2026
01:19And of course it was a little under
01:21One month down that line
01:22On the road to Sakata Genesis
01:23These two men would meet all over again
01:24Tatsuya Matsumoto put down Taisei Nakahana
01:27A little bit longer on that night
01:29Right here in Shizuoka
01:30On the other side of the city though
01:31And Hamamatsu
01:3210 minutes 23 seconds
01:34The longest that these two have shared
01:36In a singles capacity
01:37Taisei Nakahana has certainly pushed
01:39Tatsuya Matsumoto
01:40Past a 10 minute time limit
01:41So a 15 minute time limit set here on the evening
01:45And a lot of great wrestling
01:46To come your way throughout the night
01:47Wrestling fans
01:48Thank you for joining us as always
01:49Here on NJPW World
01:51Best of the Super Junior
01:5233 night 8
01:53Our main event of the evening
01:54A block B night
01:56Main evented by a block A encounter
01:57And certainly a lot to talk about
01:59Regarding Jun Kasai
02:01Taking on Francesco Akira
02:02That is going to be a one-on-one
02:04Here tonight live
02:05Our main event of the evening
02:06You have to imagine
02:07Blood will be shed
02:09Somewhere
02:09Throughout Kira Mese
02:10And Nubazza
02:12That's right into the side
02:13Headlock takedown
02:14And it is the
02:15Front position right there
02:17Taking for young lion
02:18Taisei Nakahana
02:19This young man
02:20Well a very
02:22Poor record
02:23Standing in singles competition
02:25Very poor record
02:26In all competition
02:26In fact
02:27Taisei Nakahana
02:28Has not been on the winning side
02:29Of anything so far
02:30In his New Japan
02:31Pro wrestling
02:32Tenure
02:340-25 record
02:35Going the way of
02:36Young lion
02:37Taisei Nakahana
02:38But that shoulder tackle
02:38Certainly going to do good things
02:40For this young man's career
02:4325 years of age
02:44Certainly matching
02:45His opposition
02:46In the
02:47Years department
02:4825 years old
02:49His young lion
02:50Tatsu Matsumoto
02:50As well
02:51But Matsumoto
02:52A little bit
02:53More fresh
02:54In people's mind
02:55He
02:56Of course
02:57Debut of
02:58Tatsu Matsumoto
02:59Back in New Japan
03:00Pro wrestling
03:01June 2025
03:02And take a look there
03:03That basement dropkick
03:05Going to take a big
03:06Big shot
03:07And now
03:08Down to the cover
03:09Young lion
03:09Matsumoto
03:10For two
03:10And it's going to be
03:11A little bit more than that
03:12If you want to be able to
03:13Stop Taisei Nakahana
03:14Here
03:17These two men
03:17Have not shared
03:18A ring
03:19And a singles capacity
03:19Since back on April 25th
03:21Wrestling red zone
03:22In Hiroshima
03:23Where Matsumoto
03:24Would put down
03:25Taisei Nakahana
03:26For the third and final time
03:27In a singles competition
03:29And right now
03:30Well that final time
03:31May not be too final
03:32A fourth time
03:33Could come the way
03:34For young lion
03:35Matsumoto tonight
03:35Especially knowing
03:36What's coming up
03:37Just two days down the line
03:39On May 29th
03:40Tatsu Matsumoto
03:41Gets a special
03:42Singles matchup
03:43With the
03:44Retiring Tiger Mask
03:46That's going to be
03:46Coming up in
03:47Subame City
03:47In Niigata
03:48You are not going to
03:49Want to miss
03:49Tatsu Matsumoto
03:50Stepping into the ring
03:51With Tiger Mask
03:52Forward for the first time
03:53And the last time
03:54In a singles capacity
03:55Right here on
03:56NJPW World
04:00As Matsumoto
04:01A big stump puller
04:03On that one
04:03In the left leg
04:04In a bad bad way
04:06Of young lion
04:06Nakahata tonight
04:10And Taisei Nakahata
04:11Looking to do
04:12All within his power
04:13To try and
04:13Bring Matsumoto
04:15To a prone position
04:16But instead
04:16Matsumoto
04:17In a good
04:17Good way
04:18Really having
04:19His own
04:19With Taisei tonight
04:21And immediately
04:22Right into that
04:23Stump puller
04:23Back into it
04:24And keeping
04:24Directly on that knee
04:26But instead
04:27Right on the knee
04:28Torquing at the ankle
04:29Putting all the pressure
04:30On that left leg
04:31Of Taisei Nakahata
04:36And the right leg
04:37Excuse me
04:38Is going to be
04:38In a world of shreds
04:39Right now
04:40It's Matsumoto
04:41Keep your eye
04:42On this one
04:42Nakahata
04:43Trying to scratch
04:44The bottom rope
04:45And immediately
04:45Is going to make
04:46His way to it
05:03A lot riding on this matchup
05:05Tatsu Matsumoto
05:06Does not want to enter
05:07His singles match
05:08With Tiger Mask
05:08In just 48 hours time
05:10On a down swing
05:11Of a note
05:12And right now
05:13Matsumoto
05:14Is going to have
05:15To do all
05:15Within his power
05:16To try and put down
05:16Taisei Nakahata
05:18Has not struggled
05:19To do so
05:20Over the course
05:20Of three singles matches
05:22As Nakahata
05:23Still shot
05:24For shot
05:24For shot
05:25And a basement
05:26Drop kick
05:26Right there
05:27To the lower region
05:28For Young Lai
05:29And Matsumoto
05:29Cover here now
05:30On Nakahata
05:31And a two count only
05:33Is all it's going to be
05:52Matsumoto
05:53Kick right to the midsection
05:54And a couple more strikes
05:56There to that left leg
05:57Off the ropes here
05:58And a big back body drop
06:01Taisei Nakahata
06:02Really managing
06:03To turn things around
06:04Right there
06:04And that is going to go
06:05A long long way
06:07For Nakahata
06:08Scoring his first victory
06:09Here
06:09In New Japan
06:10Pro Wrestling
06:14Let's see if Nakahata
06:15Can get the tape
06:16Underneath him
06:16To do so here tonight
06:20Nakahata
06:21Going to send
06:22The heavyweight
06:22And Matsumoto
06:23Right off the ropes
06:24Right into the side
06:25Of the jaw
06:26Cover here
06:27Now for Nakahata
06:28Just two
06:30And it's still
06:31Going to not be enough
06:32To put down
06:33Tatsu Matsumoto
06:34Here tonight
06:35You have to wonder
06:36What it's going to take
06:37To put down
06:38Any number of competitors
06:40That we're going to see
06:40In singles competition
06:41Our top six
06:43On the evening
06:43All going to be
06:44Block competition
06:45And block B
06:46Of course main event
06:47Block A
06:48Coming your way
06:49Between Jin Kasai
06:50And Francesco Akira
06:51That is one that is
06:52Certainly going to get violent
06:53But you have a litany
06:54Of different styles
06:55On display in this matchup
06:57And certainly on display
06:59All throughout the night
06:59Here is Nakahata
07:01Sitting down a wee bit deeper
07:02On Tatsu Matsumoto
07:04Here tonight
07:05Nakahata has spent
07:06A lot longer in the
07:07No Gate Dojo
07:08Than Matsumoto has
07:09In his lifetime
07:10But this is certainly
07:12Certainly not the position
07:13Matsumoto knows
07:14He wants to be in
07:20A little bit longer
07:21In the oven
07:21Taisi Nakahata spent
07:23And right now
07:25Looking to try
07:26And bust his way
07:26Out of the oven
07:27Take control
07:27Of the whole house
07:28And that is exactly
07:29What will come
07:30In the near future
07:31For Nakahata
07:31If he can score
07:32The victory here
07:34As off the ropes
07:35And Matsumoto
07:36Right on the money
07:39Standout dropkick
07:40Right there
07:40The No Gate Dojo
07:41Special for a cover
07:43And a kick out at two
07:4715 minute time limit
07:49In this matchup
07:49Wrestling fans
07:50And you know that
07:51Nakahata
07:51It would be as good
07:52As a win for him
07:53Here tonight
07:53To be able to score
07:54A time limit draw
07:56With Young Lion Matsumoto
07:57But Matsumoto
07:58Not going to allow
07:58That to happen whatsoever
08:00Control that knee
08:01And ankle
08:01On the left side
08:02Of Nakahata
08:03And Nakahata
08:04Has got to try
08:04And pull Matsumoto's
08:05Full body weight
08:06Over that bottom rope
08:08Here tonight
08:08But right back
08:09To the center
08:10Nakahata's going to
08:11Have to grit his teeth
08:12And call it a day
08:13This one's done
08:27A victory here tonight
08:28For Young Lion
08:29Tatsumoto
08:30And that is going to be
08:31Big, big things
08:32Coming away for Tatsumoto

08:41Tatsumoto
08:43Takes on Tiger Mask
08:45One on one
08:46In singles competition
08:48That right there
08:48Could be the
08:50Look of a winner
08:51And certainly
08:52That is not
08:53The look of a winner
08:54It's going to be
08:54Better luck next time
08:55For Young Lion
08:56Nakahata
08:56Now sporting
08:57An 0-26 record
08:59Here in New Japan
