01:003-6 record is not exactly where Valiente Jr. wanted to end this year's tournament, but a
01:06debut
01:06taunt has never faced off against such high caliber talent in his career.
01:12It's such a quick stretch in tournament action.
01:16So Valiente Jr. doing his best possible, but by the end, eliminated from Block A in this year.
01:52We'll be right back.
02:16Young Ryan at Taisei Nakahara looking stronger than ever.
02:19We're standing alongside tonight a man who is set to come for retirement.
02:23A 31-year career comes to an end on July 7th.
02:27Tiger Mask.
02:28It's the penultimate night of Best of the Super Chains.
02:31Tiger Mask!
02:34And all throughout the tour, up and down the roads from Gunma to anywhere else that we've been
02:41across the New Japan Pro Wrestling landscape, Tiger Mask has been sharing a lot of great memories from his career,
02:47a lot of which coming from his early days back in Mishinoku Pro Wrestling all the way
02:51to deep into the early 2000s and 2010s with NJPW.
02:56Meanwhile, it is Tiger Mask who will be retiring in a matchup yet to be announced July 7th.
03:03Tokyo, Japan, Corican Hall live on NJPW World will be the New Japan Pro Wrestling retirement
03:09of Tiger Mask.
03:10Meanwhile, we start off here tonight.
03:12Young Lion competition to come your way.
03:14Taisei Matsumoto from the blue corner.
03:16Taisei Nakahara from the red.
03:17It is a one-fall, 20-minute time limit here tonight.
03:20And a little bit of history, not just between Taisei Nakahara and Taisei Mats
03:25umoto.
03:25Matsumoto, of course, the debut opponent of Taisei Nakahara.
03:29He was back at New Japan Cup 2026 night one.
03:32And for a long time now, we have been debuting Young Lions opposite ever-debuting
03:38Young Lions.
03:38That was not the case for Taisei Nakahara as Taisei Matsumoto's
03:42own debut opponent, one Zane-J, had defected from the no-key dojo.
03:47Threw away everything that he had learned in his training to join the United Empire.
03:51Now, it is Matsumoto who is the generational rival of Taisei Nakahara.
03:56I'm not sure I'd say the exact same thing about Taisei Matsumoto, meanwhile.
04:00But the drive into the corner tag here, welcome back Valiente Jr.
04:06Went six points deep into this year's Best of the Super Junior Tournament.
04:09Was off to a very rocky start for Valiente Jr.
04:13Suffered a Toma on the back of the knee, I believe.
04:16And Valiente Jr. would have a match against Ryusuke Taguchi.
04:20Ended in about 49 seconds back in Yoyogi due to that injury.
04:24So Valiente managed to finish strong, though.
04:27A victory that came on the final night in Cork and Hall would put the man up to six
04:31I'm watching.
04:32And when we talk about history, wrestling fans, not just history between Matatsu Matsumoto and Taise
04:37i Nakahara,
04:37but also history between Tiger Mask and the Valiente lineage.
04:41We're going to talk about Valiente Jr.'s own father, the original Valiente,
04:47who competed against Tiger Mask back in New Japan Pro Wrestling action later on.
04:51As Valiente now off the ropes here, and it is a big dropkick directly to the right knee
04:57Taisei Nakahara tonight.
05:01I think Valiente Jr. has some keen interest in stepping in the ring with Tiger Mask 4.
05:05But on the other hand, it is Taisei Nakahara who is certainly going to try and get his own
05:10Victory tonight.
05:12Over Taisei Nakahara.
05:16And certainly a man who has walked his way around the trash talk has been Tatsi Matsum
05:22oto.
05:22Meanwhile, oh, popped up over the top.
05:25There's a big back body drop right there for Taisei Nakahara.
05:29Managing to slow down Tatsi Matsumoto on his tracks.
05:32Meanwhile, Nakahara inching closer to the red corner.
05:35This comes with a tiger mask.
05:37That retirement's set to come July 7th for Tiger Mask in Corican Hall.
05:41And the world is continuing to wonder who and how many are involved in Tiger Mask's final matchup.
05:49For New Japan Pro Wrestling, I certainly have my suspicions, my ideas.
05:53I'll hold on to those for the time.
05:55As a victory roll for Tiger Mask, only going to find two.
06:00Yes, wait a minute.
06:01No, Tatsi Matsumoto going to be slowed down here.
06:04And trying to catch the leg, it was Matsumoto that fell to Tiger Mask in sequels competition
06:10earlier on on the road for Best of the Super Junior 33.
06:13And Tiger Mask had some very, very kind words to share.
06:16And a man who not too often at this stage in his career has had kind words to share
06:21about the future of New Japan Pro Wrestling.
06:23Tiger Mask share many of them for Tatsui Matsumoto.
06:26Says that New Japan is strong with the sign of young lions that fight the way Matsumoto does.
06:30And just like that, Matsumoto still wants to find a victory over his senior.
06:35Much before Tiger Mask calls it a day on July 7th.
06:38Meanwhile, Tiger Mask, that Savat kick going to turn things around here.
06:44And Tiger Mask is so, so talented at changing directions, changing levels.
06:49These shots right to the midsection, right to the chest, and of course the arm.
06:53But Tatsi Matsumoto certainly being worn down here by the Tiger.
06:59Keep your eyes on it here, Tiger Mask.
07:01Drop down to the basement one more time for Tatsi Matsumoto.
07:05And it is not going to be enough to call yourself a victor just yet, my friend.
07:09You have to make the tag to your own partner.
07:11And that partner, Valiente Jr., could be looking for a big win over the Tiger
07:15for the first time in his career.
07:19Valiente Jr. has wanted to get his hands on the Tiger
07:23for quite some time as a kid and a daughter
07:26Going to wipe down Valiente Jr. tonight.
07:30It was Tiger Mask who stepped into the ring against the original Valiente
07:35back at Wrestle Kingdom 6 in 8-man tag team action.
07:39Competed against Valiente on the road to power struggle in 2013.
07:42So there's a lot of history there between Tiger Mask
07:45and the original Valiente.
07:47But Valiente Jr. is going to have to turn his sights now
07:50To Young Lion Taisi Nakahara.
07:52It's been a relatively quiet series for the Young Lions
07:56like Matsumoto and Nakahara respectively.
07:59Three loud series for another Young Lion.
08:02We're going to be talking about moments away.
08:03Daikina Gai is in the building.
08:05We're going to be previewing 8-man tag team action
08:07as Unbound Companies Yoda Tsuji
08:10and United Kingdom Highers Calumens
08:11set for a championship matchup
08:14to come in the way the main event
08:15in Osaka-Jo Hall Dominion on June 14th.
08:21As meanwhile, Valiente Jr.
08:23We're going to turn it around
08:24and a big drop kick down for Young Lion Nakahara.
08:29Five minutes had passed in this one.
08:31Here's a cover.
08:32And a two count one more time.
08:34Cinco minutos.
08:35And we have a 20-minute time limit here tonight
08:38as it is indeed Nakahara's time to shine.
08:42Taisi is going to be looking to get this Boston Crab now
08:45as a staple hold of the No Gay Dojo
08:48and looking to get it down and deep
08:50Valiente Jr. is here.
09:06And watch it now.
09:07Tatsu Matsumoto inbound and here comes Tiger Mask
09:10trying to make the save for his Young Lion partner.
09:17Taisi Nakahara, the most recent debut
09:19taunt out of the No Gay Dojo
09:21There's still a lot to prove
09:22less than a year into his professional wrestling career.
09:27It is indeed up on the shoulders.
09:30Valiente Jr.
09:31Oh!
09:32Chops the sweat off the chest
09:34Nakahara here tonight.
09:37And watch it.
09:38Victory rolls right through.
09:40No, no, no, no, caught the legs there.
09:43And Nakahara really managed to turn things around on a dime.
09:47Big step up into Geary one more time.
09:49For Valiente Jr. all over again.
09:52Oh, thought you wanted the cover instead.
09:54Yeah, there it is.
09:55Sky Day Special.
09:57No.
10:02Sky Day Special for a kickout at two
10:04for Valiente Jr.
10:10Super kick clean on the jaw
10:12of Young Lion Nakahara.
10:14Yeah!
10:16Yeah!
10:16Yeah!
10:17Valiente Jr. has to try and
10:18walk himself into victory here tonight.
10:21And maybe walk a little bit closer to the center of the ring.
10:23These Young Lions never tested exactly themselves in Mexico.
10:27But I'll tell you here, Taisei Nakahara has a resolve unlike many in the world
10:33now.
10:34And that's the resolve it takes to become a professional wrestler.
10:38And a professional wrestler in dire need, Taisei Nakahara,
10:41is gonna make the tap here.
10:43And this one's over.
10:55Well, it is Valiente Jr. who's going to look to finish things strong.
10:59Much the way that he did back in league competition in Best of the Super Jr. this year.
11:08A victory on the night for Valiente Jr.
11:11and Taisei Nakahara as our action is kicked off here tonight in Gunma, Japan.
11:18Night 13 for Best of the Super Jr.
