00:03The Almighty
00:06The King of Creation
00:18It has been an outstanding rise
00:21all over again
00:23CML All's Finest
00:25T-Todd is back
00:27in-ring competition
00:2810 points on the board and a man who started off this tournament for a 5-0 record has
00:34been
00:34hoping in his last few matches has to hope to make 12 points here tonight against last year's
00:39tournament winner in Kosei Pujla. Yeah, T-Tan absolutely sensational.
00:54That career best first five match winning streak for T-Tan has gotten in so far and it
01:02's still to a point where you know I mean a win over Kosei Pujla would
01:06not quite but all but guarantee a space in the final four but it's a big if against last
01:13Year's winners.
01:28It was a slow start for Kosei Pujla in this year's Best of the Super
01:32Junior and a man with all the pressure on his shoulders from becoming a record-setting youngest ever
01:38Best of the Super Junior winner one year ago to look to do it all again.
01:42back-to-back years. Kosei Pujla walks in tonight on eight points and a
01:47victory here tonight will put him over T-Tan in the tie breaks. That's going to be
01:51a very important one as we get right down to the wire.
01:54Yeah, he will give already Pujla up over this tournament on Francesco Acura and Nick Wayne.
02:00So having a third tiebreaker with T-Tan would definitely benefit him a great deal.
02:23You can certainly call an emphasis on the word punk in Japanese young punk that moniker of Kose
02:29i Pujla.
02:34No true care for the Lucha tradition. Of course, it is Kosei Pujla that is
02:38in this for the most selfish of intentions. And I'll tell you here, Chris, I think that that, to
02:42be quite honest with you, is a valiant effort.
02:43I think Fujila, in every single way, is in this to make money, call himself the best, wants to
02:48be a champion, something he was not able to convert last year's tournament win into, the IWG
02:53P. Info title.
02:54Well, the same token T-Tan knows what it's like to come so close yet, so far
02:59away. It was the finalist in 2023. And this time, he wants to finally complete that journey.
03:11You know what I mean? If it is, it certainly behooves T-Tan to win this
03:15contest. Certainly, if he loses Walker, he would still be on 10 points. Kosei Pujla would
03:20move up. T-Tan very weak on the tiebreak situation.
03:25Wins over Master Watto and Jun Kasai. But all of his disappointing, they've been very front
03:30heavy in terms of the quality of the wins as well.
03:32And that might make it very difficult for him if it's all tied up by the end of the
03:37Action tomorrow.
03:37Now, the two losses that T-Tan has had against Robbie Exon and Wayne could certainly be
03:43pivotal by the end of this tournament, as it is our semi-main event of the evening.
03:46Not the first time that we've seen T-Tan and Kosei Pujla go
03:49to war. We take you back two years ago in Best of the Super Junior at 31.
03:53T-Tan managed to defeat a very different Kosei Puja back in any of
03:57The Arena Osaka.
03:57Now, two years down that line, Pujla, as said before, a very different man, a man who has
04:02already been to the top of the junior division in this tournament, is going to have to put down a
04:07man he's never beaten.
04:11He has it right into the flash. Same idea, same execution here.
04:27Smart of Pujla. Picked that ankle right into the top of the chest of T-T
04:31an.
04:32And you say Kosei Pujla won the Mexican standoff there.
04:35He certainly could.
04:38T-Tan would love to call himself a Best of the Super Junior winner for the first time
04:42in his career, and it could come so far in the year of 2026.
04:46Kosei Pujla looking to go back-to-back. I mean, a lot of pressure
04:49on that young man's shoulders.
04:52I don't think pressure is something that Pujla is too keen on rumbling under, especially after
04:57his success last year in tournament.
05:01Absolutely nice how to be in these big match positions.
05:06This is a big match indeed. T-Tan getting the hops.
05:09Watch it, T-Tan.
05:11Oh, nice catch, nice catch.
05:13Out of midair, and Kosei Pujla right through this hole.
05:16T-Tan trying to use that lower body.
05:18Scramble over to the bottom rope to find some safety.
05:22Right now, T-Tan is in TMDK's house.
05:24That is the Sabers and the Eagles, is it?
05:27The Oyewa, is it?
05:31And just getting a taste of the danger from Kosei Puja.
05:36You know, I'm looking at the different potential tiebreakers that we may face ourselves with tomorrow.
05:41And this very, very crowded deck at 10.
05:45If you were to perhaps temporarily say that if Kosei Pujla joins this mix at 10,
05:51you know who the strongest person of it all would be?
05:54It would be Jun Kasai.
05:56Wow.
05:56Tiebreakers over Robbie X, Kosei Pujala, potentially Nick Wayne and Master Wato.
06:01I mean, there's a chance here if T-Tan doesn't take the lead at 12, then
06:07Jun Kasai would be the de facto leader of A Block After 10.
06:11We're getting right down to the wire, and this best of the Super Junior is what that means for
06:14us.
06:15And Puja certainly senses that and has been on the attack, certainly showing it.
06:19Look at this.
06:21Staple hole to the no-gate dojo is that Boston Crab.
06:23T-Tan's been on the wrong side of it before.
06:26He's going to have to get on the right side of these ropes.
06:28That's again Pujla.
06:29Oh, that is nasty.
06:31That is more than just a Boston Crab.
06:33Almost half of the pressure of a Boston Crab, the talk of a lion tamer, both at once
06:41there.
06:42And T-Tan just barely makes the ropes.
06:50T-Tan and Kosei Fujita, very, very different men.
06:53They can match each other stylistically.
06:54We talk about Fujita in the technical department, a student of Zack Saber Jr. in the no-
06:59gate dojo.
07:00T-Tan, meanwhile, a student of the CMLL ranks, a man who certainly has mastered his
07:05fair share of the Yave technique.
07:06So what is the difference maker going to be between these two men in the singles match and fighting a
07:10Win?
07:11Well, I think it might just be a little bit of, I think Kosei Fujita thinks it
07:15's the attitude on him.
07:16It's the chip in the shoulder.
07:18I think for T-Tan, it's maybe the added bit of inspiration from the man upstairs as
07:23Well.
07:23Very deeply religious man, you know.
07:25I mean, sometimes that's where, you know, it's the soul within.
07:28That's what drives these men who are otherwise very, very evenly matched.
07:34Watch it.
07:35Fujita put right into that corner.
07:36Got the boot up, though, and T-Tan going to be slowed down.
07:39Matrix-style Dodge.
07:40Got it.
07:42Right on the money for T-Tan here tonight.
07:46Mucho Donato to come the way.
07:48If the best of the Super Junior win is inbound.
07:50T-Tan firing on all cylinders here.
07:54Oh, here we go.
07:55Oh, and out of the frying pan into the fire.
08:00Fujita gets what the nuts open.
08:03Oh, T-Tan Suicita to the outside.
08:09Five minutes into this one, 30-minute time limit, and we are not going to need all that time
08:14the way that these men are throwing caution to the wind.
08:16It is extremely hard and heavy hitting, and Fujita saw T-Tan out the corner of his
08:23eye.
08:23More danger.
08:24Get out of the way here.
08:25Look out!
08:29Suicita to the outside from T-Tan on Kosei Fujita.
08:35Fujita thought he was safe over here next to us, Chris.
08:38Certainly, that is not the case tonight.
08:40Take another look.
08:41You could see Fujita saw T-Tan out the corner of his eye, trying to get out
08:47of Dodge, and certainly
08:49didn't dodge that toe-play Suicita.
08:52This is a dangerous situation we have here right outside next to us, Chris.
08:57T-Tan has got to try and bring this one back inside the ring.
09:01There's a count of 14, and we are back into it.
09:04T-Tan, look at the height.
09:08Yeah, perfect splash.
09:10How could you not be amazed with a man like T-Tan?
09:13Inmortal for the cover.
09:16Two count here.
09:18They've got the kick up, but right into a potential one of those Yave techniques now.
09:29I think there's a little draw you could have on that maneuver to the Ron Miller special
09:33with one Robbie Eagle.
09:34Very similar, very similar indeed.
09:35He uses that to transition to the Yave Immortal if you can bridge into the version of the
09:41Mutalak.
09:41That Gideon stretch that he's been using and bridging version of the sharpshooter
09:47that's constantly adding to his repertoire is T-Tan.
09:56Chris, I think that there's a lot of similarities and differences between these two,
10:01but the difference in motivation could come for T-Tan in that recent injury he had sustained
10:05before competing at Best of the Super Junior this year.
10:08Yeah.
10:09I mean, he said it was by the grace of God that I'm here in this tournament that it
10:13healed
10:13in time.
10:15Whoa!
10:20I think in every single way, when you almost have all of it stripped away from you,
10:23everything taken away in an instant, T-Tan knows there is something bigger to fight for
10:27here, and is going to continue that fight against Kosei Fuji.
10:34Need to win situation for Fuji to keep your eye on this one here.
10:37Oh, again, the attitude.
10:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:40And a dropkick on T-Tan.
10:43Just like we said earlier, on that chip on the shoulder is what drives Kosei Fuji to...
10:50Covering a count of two again is going to keep this one rolling.
10:53And you think, Walker, somebody, you know, a young athlete who has already run this tournament
10:57before a lot of young athletes in his position would be coasting, and with some easily leagues
11:02Above everyone.
11:03That's not the case.
11:05Kosei Fuji to still wrestling with such an anger within him.
11:07I'd say at this point, that's sort of, yeah, that I think there was a slight change of
11:11pace,
11:11if you don't mind me saying, before he faced Master Watto.
11:14I think Watto kind of humbled Fuji on this route.
11:17Yeah, that's a very good point.
11:18Very good point.
11:23Oh, wow.
11:25If there is anything that is going to humble you, Chris, it strikes like these, from men
11:31like this.
11:34Hard to judge just by Sam, but I think T-Tan's hitting a little harder.
11:37Yeah, changing directions here.
11:39T-Tan can have a step ahead on that route.
11:41Oh!
11:42Oh, that last remark.
11:45T-Tan!
11:47Hold up tight here.
11:48T-Tan holds the DDT.
11:50Watch it now.
11:51Ellie Brunches for the train.
11:53Oh, Kosei Fuji to have got it.
11:57Come on!
12:01Come on!
12:03Come on!
12:04Come on!
12:07T-Tan and Kosei Fuji to are throwing everything and more at the wall here tonight
12:13to call themselves the winner of this year's tournament.
12:22I think we're scoring on points, and I know we're not, but if we were to do so
12:25in this Match,
12:26it might be a straight 50-50 split.
12:29Well, this might sit the favor in Fuchita's balance, who was looking for that German suplex
12:34denied.
12:35T-Tan off the ropes here, pops up, Fuchita victory rolls, T-Tan.
12:40And great transition, great transition, great transition.
12:43I love it, I love it again, I love it again.
12:44This time he's going to stand up for his back, let's get that Yalda Immort
12:47ale.
12:48If he can find it, it will be game over for the Japanese Young Puck.
12:52Oh!
12:53Too much time!
12:54Too much time for Ali Immortale!
12:57And instead of an M.O. Special!
12:59An M.O. Special.
13:00Colesay, Fuchita brought this to victory in last year's tournament.
13:05Fuchita is going to look to repeat it all over again.
13:10No, it's finished, it does, but not a strong enough grip on the chin,
13:13got to get to the arms instead, keep him away from the ropes.
13:18T-Tan so, so close for those ropes, and makes it there in the end.
13:42Fuchita, German suplex.
13:45Oh, there's a lot of ways you'd see Fuchita bridge on that, but it's not
13:49It's going to happen.
13:50Yeah, I think he has the pass that costs strength to be able to bridge,
13:54but instead pulling that audible, rolling into his second,
13:58Fuchita wants the hat-trick now.
14:03And he's got it, he's got it, he does have the bridge.
14:07Bridge for two, bridge for two.
14:10Fuchita and T-Tan are there.
14:18First of all, seeing this the past few minutes on the body of T-Tan,
14:21almost a seizing effect after every single one of these hard blows.
14:25T-Tan very well maybe pushed at his limits over the course of this tournament.
14:30A lot of punishment built up over the course of the past few weeks.
14:33He's a punch drunk at this stage in the game, very spaghetti-legged,
14:37but now he's got those feet underneath him.
14:40Those legs are working the five spinning wheel kick right there for T-Tan on Fuchita.
14:45Report inbound, watch it, watch it.
14:48Wow.
14:51T-Tan now for the cover.
14:55It won't be enough.
14:56He has only reached 12 points so far.
15:02What do you think, Chris?
15:04That double stone from the top.
15:05Wrong way out is Fuchita.
15:11And he's stopped right down on the forearm.
15:15Drills a hole through the Japanese young punk.
15:19It's over.
15:20No, no.
15:26It is rugged.
15:30Determination against divine inspiration.
15:38No, Fuchita rolls right through.
15:42Here we go.
15:43Here we go.
15:45Thrill ride.
15:47Where do you get it from?
15:49A thrilling ride for Fuchita.
15:52All the way to 10 points.
15:58All but one arm and absolutely out of nowhere.
16:02That Thrill ride struck T-Tan.
16:06Take a look one more time here, fans.
16:08Man, face first.
16:10T-Tan goes, and one more time again.
16:14Kose Fuchita, enough to call himself a 10-point standard in A Block this tournament season.
16:22That incredible surge of strength within Kose Fuchita.
16:28And one more time again.
16:31And one more time again.
16:31Still right stroking from an unlikely angle.
16:36Still right stroking from an unlikely angle.
16:37It's only one that T-Tan didn't see coming.
16:39And now we do indeed have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
16:45Tied up.
16:46Tied up.
16:50Anybody's ball game tomorrow night.
17:09Tied up.
17:10Tied up.
17:10Tied up.
17:11Tied up.
17:13Tied up.
17:22A-Block can take camp.
17:24Once the A-Block is complete, Francesco's Kiraksi
17:26I came to Escore
17:27Regarding the election of the Peiran staff
17:41Concions has now turned into some kind of election.
17:45A block was the one that was more cut and dry
17:49but it has become anything else than that
17:53Z-Sermes is Francesco Aikula
17:56Balance gets it 12
17:57it will be 12 points that settles it
18:00who will come out on top of it all
18:03once all is said and done
18:04I mean, you'd have to say
18:05Kosei Puigstra in the Drivers Team tomorrow
18:08that is a very, very winnable match
18:10against Akiki Nagai
18:11well, we are going to find out
18:13in 24 hours time right here on NJPW World
18:16but an opportunity for 12 points to come
18:18El Desperado take on Yo
18:20Our main event of the rare
