00:00On le 26 juin, nous avons accompli l'un des plus grands objectifs de l'année dernière.
00:12IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, M.T.A.
00:25Nous avons pris cette lumière de Tenzan et Chono, à Tanahashi et Nakamura, à G.O.D. et à F
00:32.T.R.
00:32Nous prenons la liste de ces titres très sérieux.
00:39Oh, et...
00:40Oh, c'est...
00:40Oh, c'est...
00:42Oh, c'est...
00:42Oh, c'est...
00:45Oh...
00:46Oh, c'est...
00:47Oh, c'est...
00:48Oh, c'est...
00:49Oh, c'est vrai ?
00:55En 2019, Royal Quest...
00:57C'est allait comme à notre époque depuis de l'année dernière
00:59Mais c'est nous devenu plus enorgueulé pour cette belt
01:02Et donc, nous avons la victoire au variant champion
01:06Nous sommes l'empêcheurs, tu veux être les choses
01:09Ok, jusqu'au bout, 5 ans, tu pourrais que...
01:125 ans, c'est cool.
01:14Right now, 2022 FTR,
01:17c'est l'année de FTR,
01:18et nous reviendrons à Londres.
01:20Nous aurons accepté votre challenge.
01:21Notre premier tag team title defense
01:24de IWGP Tag Team Champions
01:26est contre vous, Asiopi.
01:28Et Londres, vous avez la matche.
01:30Top Guys, out.
01:32C'est un meilleur team.
01:35Corey Ellis.
01:43Ladies and gentlemen,
01:45your main event for night one
01:47of Royal Quest 2
01:48is a tag team match set
01:50for 1-4.
01:521-4.
01:53With a 60 minute time limit
01:55and it is for the IWGP
01:59Tag Team
02:00Championship.
02:11I have called many more Aussie Open matches
02:14than I have FTR.
02:17And for as long as I've seen them,
02:20I've said you are looking folks
02:23at the future of tag team wrestling.
02:26Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis.
02:28It's all come together now
02:32in 2022.
02:34Pandemic over.
02:36Knee of Davis healed.
02:38Fletcher maturing physically.
02:40Part of the United Empire.
02:43First strong Openweight Tag Team Champions.
02:46Everything is turning just so
02:49for Aussie Open.
02:51No better time than now
02:53for them to face FTR
02:56to become the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions
03:00before they even stepped foot in Japan.
03:03Yeah, it seemed three years ago
03:05in the first Royal Quest
03:07that everything was coming up
03:09Aussie Open.
03:10And that match with GOD
03:12in the Copper Box
03:13was a stunner.
03:15They were on track
03:16to be in World Tag League that year.
03:19but then it was the knee injury
03:21from Mark Davis
03:22and then the global pandemic
03:24that put everything on the shelf.
03:26But it showed them,
03:28it lit a fire in these two men
03:30to come back stronger.
03:32For Kyle Fletcher to literally
03:34come back an awful lot bigger.
03:36and this year has been the breakout year
03:39in New Japan Pro Wrestling,
03:41in AEW, in Impact,
03:43wherever they can be,
03:45they have dominated.
03:47And now it's time to run the world,
03:49but FTR won't let them.
04:157 stars,
04:183 Tag Team Championships,
04:20you see them with 2 of them.
04:24They became IWGP Tag Team Champions
04:27back at Forbidden Door.
04:29But this is their first defense
04:31and I wonder whether this is the key
04:33as London welcome
04:35Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler
04:38being pulled every which way.
04:43Wildly popular wherever they go,
04:45wildly successful wherever they go.
04:48Top guys, no doubt.
04:50But do they have the laser focus
04:52that Aussie Open had?
04:57But still, the track record
04:59speaks for itself.
05:002022 in straight Tag Team matches
05:03is FTR 15-1.
05:05Their last defeat,
05:06you have to go back
05:07to February 9th, 2022
05:10against John Maxley
05:12and CM Punk.
05:14Try telling that as a trivia question
05:17in a couple years' time.
05:19And everything that's gone on
05:20in the meantime.
05:20when you look at their success
05:24not just with the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships
05:29but also the Ring of Honor Championships
05:31as well.
05:32And the matches that they had
05:33with the Briscos.
05:34A thrilling pair of bouts
05:36that are going to get
05:37a lot of match of the year
05:38consideration.
05:39Which is very, very rare
05:42for tag teams.
05:43But well deserved.
05:44You talk about laser focus needed
05:48to beat Aussie Open.
05:50They are a throwback.
05:53To days gone by
05:55when tag team wrestling
05:58was at its premium,
06:00at its zenith.
06:02And that the best tag team in the world
06:05would take on all comers,
06:07would travel to different territories,
06:09and would take the best shot
06:11of anybody that would come at them.
06:15And you could throw
06:16to Midnight Express.
06:18You could take Tully Blanchard
06:19and Arnd Anderson.
06:20You could take Bret Hart
06:22and Jim Neidhart.
06:24Whatever combination
06:25for whatever promotion you want.
06:29Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood
06:31have taken something
06:32from all of them.
06:35And I think they have the focus
06:38But Aussie Open is next level
06:41right now.
06:42And this is very much
06:44Aussie Open's home term.
06:47Born in Australia.
06:49Made in England.
06:52Aussie Open.
06:57All the stars are aligning
06:59to the challengers here tonight.
07:06Let's put the point
07:07and the briscos in the mix.
07:10Aussie Open, FTR.
07:12Two of the top tag teams in the world.
07:15I think you throw the briscos in
07:17and there's your top three.
07:20And the fact that World Quest 2
07:22gets this as a main event.
07:26FTR!
07:27FTR!
07:29FTR!
07:29FTR!
07:30FTR!
07:33FTR!
07:33FTR!
07:34Like you mentioned.
07:35Almost a home game for Aussie Open.
07:38Almost a home game for Aussie Open.
07:40I mean, almost a home game.
07:42As as good as a home game.
07:45Mark Davis had been wrestling
07:49in Australia, always had eyes on the UK
07:53promulgé aux enfants.
08:03C'est parti.
08:35You saw it before anybody in 2018.
08:38I was singing their praises from the minute I laid eyes on them.
08:42That match that they had with G.O.D. at Royal Quest, everybody said, wow.
08:49And I said, just you wait.
08:50They are on their way.
08:52Mark Davis suffered a tragic knee injury warming up before a PWG event.
08:59Blown ACL, knee surgically repaired.
09:02Global Pandemic.
09:04How would they respond with the best years of their career?
09:10A lot of other teams, they might take that, especially if perhaps the pandemic was almost
09:17a blessing for Aussie Open in that respect because they were able to hit the reset button
09:21and then hit the ground running together and just so much hungrier and so much better.
09:28Mark Davis wants this more than anything.
09:31Carl Fletcher has always wanted it.
09:34And you can see the work that he put in.
09:36And if you watched Royal Quest 1 and what Carl Fletcher looked like then to today, and you've seen
09:43almost like a young lioness growth, a literal physical growth upwards and outwards.
09:47I saw, when I saw Fletcher and I saw Davis at the forbidden door, I said, my God, Carl, you
09:54keep getting taller every time I see you.
09:57On top of that, the muscle mass, he's at it.
09:59We begin, Carl Nobotaia.
10:03Oh, and Dax Harwood certainly knows the pressure to win in a potential hostile territory.
10:19So it's been the best year of the career of FTR, the best year of the career of Aussie Open.
10:28Good on good here.
10:30Roll the ball out.
10:31Let's see who comes out as champs.
10:33That's any mutual respect being shown, and Dax Harwood showing respect to Aussie Open, as did Cash,
10:40and kind of saying, well, hey, the future does belong to you guys, no doubt.
10:44It's just not your time yet.
10:53And while they were in England, they were playing their wares,
10:56holed up in a shabby apartment in Midlands, and venturing down,
11:00traveling all over Europe, fighting every team possible.
11:05Aussie Open continue to get better.
11:06The tag now, Cash Wheeler's in.
11:18And always for them, the plan for both Mark Davis and Carl Fletcher,
11:26that was eventually Japan, was eventually New Japan Pro Wrestling.
11:31England was a fine destination, fine place to grow, Red Pro, a fantastic place to grow and hone your craft.
11:38They wanted to be in Japan, they wanted badly to be in World Tag League in 2019, and that was
11:44not to be.
11:45Now, finally, strong Openweight Champions, they'll be in Osaka November the 5th in action,
11:51and they want to do it with not just the Strong Openweight Tag Titles, but the IWGP Tag Titles as
11:57well.
11:58Fred Chizuno, the official here, call for a clean break.
12:02Fletcher, technically clean break, applying the side headlock.
12:21O'Connor roll blocked.
12:23Beautiful fireman's carry takeover by Cash Wheeler, follows up with the arm drag, and he'll borrow the left arm.
12:31It says wrestling on the marquee, and tag team wrestling at its finest, with FTR.
12:47And Dunkzilla, Mark Davis, gets it dropped, toehold for his troubles.
12:55Max Harwood, getting tagged in, Davis backing away.
13:05It's a great draw by Mark Davis to create space and not allow himself to be controlled in the FTR
13:12corner.
13:14Of course, with Fletcher, it's athleticism, speed, high-flying skill for Mark Davis.
13:19It's power.
13:21Raw power.
13:22An indefensible set of skills.
13:28And he's come back from the knee.
13:31Yeah.
13:31Bigger and badder.
13:35Certainly, and then you look at Dax, and you can see, you know, the evidence is right there with that
13:41brace.
13:42Oh, right, look at, the evidence is on the chest of Dax.
13:46He turned away from the ropes, and his chest has been split open by Mark Davis.
13:51Oh, my goodness.
13:54Oh, my goodness.
14:18Blood is flowing freely down the chest of Harwood as he now, and there's some power right there.
14:25Oh, no.
14:28More evidence.
14:30Davis is bleeding from his chest.
14:39Is that, is it blood, Davis' blood?
14:43It's Davis' blood.
14:44My God.
14:45Both men bleeding from their chests after chopping the hell out of one another.
15:00And Fletcher is going to join the Weld club here, if not careful.
15:04Snap suplex.
15:05Harwood now floats over, leg drop, and he'll go for a cover.
15:11One of the best things FTR does is they control the ring.
15:16They cut the ring off in half, which is so, it's such a cliche in wrestling, but they truly do
15:21it.
15:22Look at the way Wheeler positions himself between Davis and the corner.
15:27You'll see little things, and little things that FTR does, no other team does.
15:34You're good, Carl. You're good. Keep with it.
15:38Things that I used to see quite frequently when I was growing up, but some of that has been left
15:44to the side in tag team wrestling.
15:46And now, Aussie Open taking advantage.
15:49Of course, in the United Empire, the Great O'Conn accompanying them to the ring.
15:54Wheeler fighting out of the hostile territory.
15:59And obviously, the Great O'Conn would love to see Aussie Open take those titles for the United Empire.
16:07It was Jeff Cobb and the Great O'Conn at Forbidden Door, part of the three-way match.
16:13Winner take all. Fletcher with the save.
16:16Great stuff. That's something that Aussie Open do superbly.
16:20And Carl Fletcher knowing Mark Davis was in trouble pulling him out of the way.
16:25It's a different environment to be in.
16:28Oh, it's...
16:29Dax wanted more.
16:31Hold that thought.
16:33Oh, no!
16:37And you see the power, and part of that, I believe,
16:42the added muscle, why it's so important to Carl Fletcher.
16:45Your tag team wrestling in the UK when you're on the independents,
16:48not just in Red Probe, but in a lot of rings across the world.
16:52Everything in the UK is so centred on the old, still a lot of old rings.
16:58Yes.
16:58A lot of rings from the old TV days, the old world of sport days.
17:0214 by 14, sometimes 12 by 12 rings.
17:05Right.
17:05You can't cut off the ring like an American tag team can.
17:09So it's very important to have the power to keep your other guy grounded
17:14because a little bit of distance, and that's a tag right there.
17:17And the way you add to the real estate is to take the match outside to the floor.
17:23FTR really looks to keep it within the confines of the ring,
17:27but Aussie Open expanding that real estate.
17:34And this crowd is just, they're loving this.
17:36They're loving every second of it, and how could you not?
17:39Ah, hands up! Hands up! Hands up!
17:43And it was at Forbidden Door where Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood winning the
17:53IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team titles to join the ROH titles they already held.
17:58Of course, it was Rocky Romero and Trent Barretta who were the third team
18:05and actually were the team that was beaten.
18:08So Cobb and O'Conn lost the belts to FTR without being pinned or submitted for them.
18:14It's a real personal issue with the United Empire here.
18:19Yeah, I think it's a personal issue.
18:22You know, that Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood, I think if they had their own way,
18:27the problem of winning these championships and all these promotions is that,
18:30oh no, you're a slave to a lot of different masters.
18:34I think perhaps if Dax and Cash had their own way,
18:37they would be flying out all over the place and defending those IWGP Tag Team Championships,
18:43settling this issue with Jeff Cobb and Great O'Conn in short order.
18:47But they've got to answer to the mighty boss tone at certain point.
18:52And he's a great promoter, and he knows to protect a great tag team like FTR
18:57and keep them on his program.
18:59And one of the things that, of course, you know, FTR has been, I think, the victim of,
19:05victim of their success, and it's hard for them to get matches.
19:08Here's a cover and a kick out at two.
19:10Mark Davis did a beautiful job of cutting off Cash Wheeler, preventing the tag to Dax Harwood,
19:16and then reasserting the control of Aussie Open.
19:20Like we talked about with Shota Umino and Will Ospreay and the comfort level
19:26and wrestling a Will Ospreay match.
19:28It seems like Aussie Open is very content wrestling an FTR-style tag match
19:34because they are so skilled.
19:35Was there a tag?
19:36Yes, there was.
19:46Dax didn't want to break down.
19:48They're going for a tacky over in the corner.
19:50And that brings Davis over.
19:53Davis getting Harwood, bouncing him off the railing.
19:57You see the blood on the chest.
20:10Legal men in the ring.
20:13Fletcher trying to get a tag.
20:17Cash Wheeler, low center of grab, and a great amateur background.
20:21Able to pop those hips and put Fletcher down with the suplex.
20:30Yeah, but those blows Fletcher landed on Dax in the backhand.
20:34Paying off there, paying dividends.
20:37Oh, no.
20:38That sets aren't missing, though.
20:40Yeah, going to the well for the third time.
20:42Coming up empty and a fourth, and again missing.
20:45It worked early for Davis a couple of occasions.
20:49And now, Marwood crawling back up to the corner.
20:53Fletcher, oh my god, right in the face.
20:57Fantastic presence for Fletcher,
20:59but that's letting his ego get the best of him.
21:03Standing switch, another back suplex.
21:06No, this time catapults forward.
21:16Calling for his partner, Dax down, got wiped out.
21:20Yeah, calling for the play here.
21:22Cash realizing it's going to have to be a solo effort.
21:25Watch out now.
21:27Oh, this is so, so dangerous.
21:30You cannot see where you're landing.
21:32Oh, it's from so high.
21:40And it was at Forbidden Door when FTR became the double champions
21:46that Dax Harwood had to leave the ring.
21:50Fear was is that he had either separated or dislocated his shoulder.
21:54Hell, he might have.
21:55But they were able to come out.
21:57And now the tag to leave it.
21:59Oh, no, no.
21:59Oh, Davis is there.
22:02Oh, oh, and this could be it.
22:07Beautiful.
22:08Brain buster.
22:09This is it.
22:09Oh, and a kick out from Wheeler.
22:17What perfect, perfect timing for Mark Davis.
22:33It wouldn't shock me to see Davis put a hold on Wheeler here.
22:38Grind him down.
22:40Control him.
22:41You've got to weaken Wheeler.
22:43Fletcher needs a little bit of time.
22:46They're not set for Coriolis just yet.
22:48Their finisher.
22:52Bludgeoning Cash Wheeler with chops.
22:54Dax Harwood has been neutralized over in the red corner on a couple of occasions.
22:59He's just slow to get up.
23:00Wheeler answers.
23:01What an uppercut for him.
23:07And the tag to Fletcher.
23:09The tag to Fletcher.
23:10And he will prevent the tag again.
23:14Uno is there.
23:15He can see it.
23:16They're so close.
23:17He can't get the tag.
23:19Just can't get the tag.
23:21Oh, he did it.
23:23And here we go.
23:31And the Asheville, North Carolina native.
23:35Shoots the inside cradle in.
23:42O'Connor roll.
23:43O'Connor roll.
23:44Two.
23:46Spring second rope.
23:47Cross body.
23:48Three different pinning combinations.
23:50Will this lead to victory?
23:58And again, it was Fletcher who was weakened.
24:05Davis probably the fresher of the two, but Fletcher's the legal man.
24:10Davis said to break up the momentum of Harwood.
24:16Davis won't go down.
24:24Swing and a miss.
24:27Oh, and Davis.
24:29Oh, my God.
24:30Ripped out of his boots.
24:31What a close line by Daryx Harwood.
24:32He's gone.
24:33Fifteen minutes gone.
24:38Standing switch.
24:39Another quick one by Harwood.
24:41Each man trying to jockey for position inside cradle.
24:44This time for Fletcher.
24:49German.
24:50Oh, no.
24:51Set for the ride.
24:52And Dax will hold on to Carl Fletcher.
24:58Oh, Fletcher's eyes.
24:59Looking a little bit classy.
25:02It might just take one more.
25:04Going for the hat trick.
25:11Looking down a little leapfrog.
25:14Leads to the trifecta.
25:20It was a team that would call themselves the world greatest at FTR.
25:25They're now in a position to do the same.
25:27Oh, yeah.
25:28A little Hassan Benjamin influence.
25:30No doubt about it.
25:37A word between Fletcher and Davis.
25:40Oh, man.
25:43And up they go.
25:47Davis is the legal man, too.
25:50And Harwood rips that shoulder up.
25:52This is a spectacular tag team match, folks.
25:55It's for the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.
25:58FTR, the champs, and the strong openweight champions,
26:02Aussie Open, their challengers.
26:05Rockies.
26:05Rockies.
26:06Rockies.
26:07Rockies.
26:09Rockies.
26:11Rockies.
26:12Rockies.
26:13From the butterfly.
26:15Watch out, Fletcher.
26:16Wait a minute.
26:16Wheeler there to make the save of his partner.
26:21Oh, out goes Davis.
26:22Out goes Fletcher.
26:23Oh, onto his own tag team partner.
26:28Why not?
26:36C'est parti !
27:07Bouncing Fletcher into the edge of the ring.
27:14Spine first goes Wheeler.
27:19And the match now breaking down on the floor.
27:22Ooh, head first into the ring post.
27:25Head first into the ring post goes Mark Davis.
27:28And we spoke before, not like a normal New Japan ring post.
27:32There's a square ring post with sharp edges could easily split the head open.
27:37Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.
27:39Oh, no, but it's Dax Howard who's split wide open.
27:52And that lighting trust had to have done all the more to open up a wound that's pouring blood on
28:02one half of the IWGP Tag Team Champions.
28:06All right, so we'll get a look at, yeah, a cut right above the I, above the left eye.
28:18And again, that could have happened at any time, but once he hit that lighting truss, that eye went split.
28:30And now trying to fire back, but some of the fire has been taken out of those strikes.
28:41Oh, my God.
28:46And Harwood's right eye, that's going to affect his vision.
28:52And look at the strength of Mark Davis.
28:59The airplane spin.
29:05Blood shooting like a long sprinkler as he hits them at two, almost new champs.
29:13Aussie Open has yet to go to Japan, but they could walk in to Osaka on November the 3rd as
29:23the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.
29:26Hell, save for FTR.
29:29Oh, my God.
29:30Red Shoes, Uno stopped our last match.
29:34But Shota, you know, he might have to think if Dax Harwood stays in the ring much longer, he's losing
29:40a lot of blood, Kevin.
29:43And again, that eyebrow being split.
29:48A lot of that blood going into his right eye.
29:53They couldn't get it before.
29:55They're going to get it now.
29:56They're going to get it now.
29:57Wait a minute.
29:58Again, the diving lead.
30:01But look at this now.
30:02Harwood, slingshot, powerbob, slingshot, powerbob, double pin, beat a bump, why not, almost.
30:15Again, the influence of Tully Blanchard, the slingshot suplex.
30:20Harwood taking it up a level with the slingshot, sit-out, powerbob.
30:28Now this is where the communication of FTR takes place.
30:32We talk about that unspoken bond with LIJ and what they're able to execute.
30:37A simple nod from Harwood.
30:39All that Wheeler needed to get in position for what they plan next.
30:47Oh, what is this now?
30:49It's a dangerous spot, though.
30:50They're going for the old power and glory move.
30:53Yeah, but from the challenger's corner.
30:55They're going for the lead there.
30:56Hey, Bridget, same.
30:58I have to say, a slight upforce there from Dax.
31:01All right, so attack.
31:03Attack.
31:04So Davis is legal.
31:06Davis and Harwood are the legal men again.
31:11Harwood's right eye being lacerated.
31:14And now it looks like Aussie Open is going to try the exact same thing, Chris.
31:18Yeah, that's exactly right.
31:21And here we go.
31:22Down goes Dax.
31:23Up the top goes Kyle.
31:25Oh, no.
31:26And on the knees of Harwood.
31:28Oh, no.
31:28Into the knees of Harwood.
31:30Wheeler stayed home.
31:32Saw what they were trying.
31:34Knew there would be an opportunity perhaps on Davis.
31:36Took advantage.
31:38Drilled over the top.
31:40Oh, it's sending to his own partner.
31:42Here we go.
31:43Backslide.
31:44Backslide.
31:44Two.
31:45Oh, no.
31:49Piledriver, no.
31:55274 pounds of Mark Davis going up that e-
31:57Oh, no.
31:59Over the top.
32:00Time for a sunset flip.
32:02Get him right back.
32:03Where's partner?
32:04Where's my corner?
32:06All times aware.
32:08Spike.
32:10Piledriver.
32:11Got him.
32:12Davis down.
32:15Wheeler.
32:16Legal.
32:16Fletcher.
32:17Driving save.
32:23And they are on their feet.
32:26Look at this crowd.
32:29Evenly split.
32:34These fans realized it was good on good.
32:38We were seeing the best against the best in tag team wrestling.
32:43And that's exactly what we've seen.
32:45We were seeing the best against the best in tag team wrestling.
32:56And that's exactly what we've seen.
32:59An answer by Fletcher.
33:03So now I'm trying to remember who the legal men were.
33:06I believe, I believe it's Mark Davis.
33:12And Cash, I believe, yeah.
33:14Cash Wheeler.
33:15Is it?
33:16I thought.
33:16It was the tag.
33:17Yes, it was the tag.
33:19Spike.
33:19Piledriver.
33:20So the legal men are in the ring.
33:21And now, of course, Fletcher getting one of those tag team titles.
33:28Guys, this match taking rather a different turn.
33:33Is this a play of frustration?
33:35Or is Carl Fletcher thinking one move ahead here?
33:37He's trying to set a trap.
33:39Hartwood realizing it, too.
33:41Oh!
33:43We got caught.
33:44He got caught.
33:45We didn't see it.
33:46Oh!
33:50Opportunistic taking advantage of the situation.
33:56Leads to a near fall.
33:58Fletcher's going to go for broke.
34:00Again, up in that neutral corner.
34:02Which way does he go, though?
34:04Does he go to Cash?
34:05Or would he go to Dax?
34:07Oh!
34:15And so smart to take out Dax Harwood because that leaves.
34:20Now, finally, third time's the charm.
34:23One, two, and Wheeler kicks out.
34:29Fletcher Campolino, neither can I.
34:3225 minutes gone.
34:34Chris Schoen and I are sitting here, jaws agape.
34:38At the match that we are witnessing.
34:42And we are the only two people that are sitting down.
34:47As all of Crystal Palace has been on their feet since about the 15-minute mark for this match.
35:15And the power of Mark Davis, Fletcher's in position, but Wheeler again slipping out from behind, retreating to the red
35:23corner.
35:26Oh, beautiful gory bomb.
35:31Kick Davis away.
35:32Go for the cover two.
35:34So smart.
35:34And so close to a three.
35:37It's getting to the point now, Kevin, where Manavir perhaps is pretty.
35:42It's just whatever you can do, anytime you can create a three-second opportunity, all four of these men are
35:49going to take it.
35:52And Wheeler, of course, now getting the alert from Harwood in the corner.
36:01Davis down on the floor.
36:03Fletcher, an incredibly weak in state.
36:06All right, so the tag, a little communication.
36:08Are they aware that Davis just got tagged in?
36:11Are they aware that there was a tag in the blue corner?
36:17Well, now a chance to talk in.
36:21Carl Fletcher is, or Mark Davis rather, is split right open as well.
36:27Wide open.
36:28Yeah, he got kicked, and that kick just busted him open.
36:37When Davis got kicked out of the ring, the boot of Wheeler must have caught him.
36:46Oh, no.
36:48Well, Dax Harwood was talking about looking forward to coming to London and downing some beers in the pub after
36:57this match.
36:58But before he can get the rounds in, he's had to deal some live rooms and take them as well
37:04in this one.
37:05You see the results.
37:10And back where we started.
37:14Bloodied, battered, but still beating the hell out of each other.
37:22Yes!
37:25Yes!
37:26Yes!
37:27Yes!
37:29Yes!
37:30Yes!
37:31Yes!
37:32Yes!
37:34Double leg.
37:34Oh, here we go.
37:36Here we go.
37:36Sharpshooter.
37:38Fletcher knows it.
37:39Tries to make the save at card.
37:44Double sharpshooters.
37:45Ah!
37:49Fletcher screaming out in pain, but the focus is Davis.
37:52Davis is the legal man.
37:53Ah!
37:54Ah!
37:55Ah!
37:56Ah!
37:57Ah!
37:58And you hear, you can hear Fletcher screaming, pleading with Davis not to tap.
38:06Look at him trying to hold the hand back.
38:09Fletcher, yeah!
38:09Fletcher's holding the hand.
38:12Oh!
38:15Don't you dare give in!
38:16Trying to fire him up his own corner, my God, with slaps across the face!
38:20I've never seen anything like that!
38:23Fletcher!
38:28Fletcher!
38:28How badly do you want to win?
38:30How badly do you want to be the IWG?
38:33The NBA Tag Team title.
38:34Just slap the pins on your own partner to prevent him from tapping out.
38:46C'est ce qu'ils ont payé le ticket pour, et ils sont d'accord avec leur charge.
38:54C'est parti, c'est parti !
38:57Sendu pour Big Rig, Fletcher t'exploite, s'appuie, s'appuie, s'appuie, s'appuie,
39:02Philippe a connerie et les droits !
39:09Oh mon, c'est parti !
39:21Kass avec les saves, Paul Fletcher, directement dans le nec et le haut de Max.
39:27Marc Davies, qui peut avoir un stinger.
39:31Grédo Kahn doit ce qu'il faut pour essayer,
39:34dans le coin,
39:37pour éviter les challengers.
39:49Marc Davies' sang doit être affecté son vision.
39:56La wound above Harwood's eye has closed,
40:00but one good shot could split it open again.
40:05FTR and Aussie Open.
40:08Is there any doubt in anyone's mind, win or lose,
40:11whichever team comes out on top,
40:14that these are not two of the finest tag teams in the world today,
40:18two of the best you've ever seen.
40:36Tiers pour tirade sur place!
40:45C'est parti!
40:46C'est parti!
40:48Il est parti!
40:49Il est parti!
40:51Il est parti!
40:53Le sang est parti!
40:53Il n'y a pas de dénié.
40:55Corialis, Corialis, here we go.
40:57If they hit this, they're the champs.
40:58If they hit it, they win.
41:00Oh, but they won't, Kevin.
41:01Not yet.
41:02We don't catch anything still with it.
41:09Tagged.
41:09Watch out.
41:15Oh, he got it.
41:17Oh, he got it.
41:20Big ring to...
41:22Oh, my God, FTR.
41:29Here are your winners.
41:32And still,
41:35the WGP Tag Team Champions,
41:39Cross-Wheeler,
41:41Daxo,
41:43FTR.
41:45That is as good a tag team match
41:48as I've ever seen.
41:53What a rollercoaster.
41:57And it's what's sat here,
41:59half a world away,
42:01in a studio in Japan,
42:02calling this match.
42:05I'm with all of the 2100
42:08on their feet
42:08in Crystal Palace.
42:12and I'm with all of the 2100
42:15on their feet.
42:15And I'm with all of the 2100
42:25on their feet.
42:26And I'm with all of the 2100
42:27And I'm with all of the 2100
42:27on their feet.
42:28And I'm with all of the 2100
42:28on their feet.
42:29And I'm with all of the 2100
42:30on their feet.
42:30And I'm with all of the 2100

42:33on their feet.
42:34And I'm with all of the 2100
42:39on their feet.
42:42And now the presentation of the championship trophies, the titles.
43:08I'll tell you what, the eyes, the vision on Cash Wheeler, all match long, counter, realizing.
43:17Hardwood's in trouble, I've got to act and react.
43:20He literally had to be the eyes for Tax when he couldn't see when blood was streaming into
43:27his vision.
43:29And Davis, of course, who got kicked square in the head, that split him open.
43:35Hardwood's eye got split open.
43:38A bloody war of attrition.
43:42But Chris, I think we can say, this is just round one.
43:48Somewhere, at some point in time, there'll be another meeting between FTR and Aussie Open.
43:54Show me, where are we doing it?
43:58Take my money!
43:59Save my money!
44:15That's three Batch of the Year candidates for FTR.
44:18Real quick, before this ring escalates, real quick.
44:22Shut the fuck up!
44:23Thank you, sir.
44:27This is the first time we have been overseas since 2019.
44:33And we thank you, for all of you, for this event.
44:40Thank you for that.
44:41I can't handle this enough.
44:44Two things.
44:46First things first.
44:47Tony Connelly still work for you.
44:49Book us, brother.
44:51Can't get a match in their home promotion.
44:54Second thing, and most important, and seriously, I've said it on Twitter.
44:58These guys are the future of tag team wrestling.
45:03They're the now of tag team wrestling.
45:08All egotism to the side.
45:11All self-preservation to the side.
45:14They may be the best of our team today.
45:16I'll be stepping away from them.
45:18Thank you, guys.
45:30Think about what you're about to do here, gentlemen.
45:34You represent New Japan as the strong Openweight Champions.
45:49Oh, well, great Okan has some business.
45:52He and Jeff Cobb.
45:58Let's make sure we understand one another.
46:00FTR, I'm done with the United Empire.
46:05The United Empire will now move forward and look to challenge FTR.
46:16But with Cobb and Okan, a rematch from Forbidden Door.
46:23Chris, I told Dax at Forbidden Door,
46:26this is the first FTR match I get to call.
46:29This makes two.
46:29And if this is all I ever get to do for the rest of my career,
46:32I'd be satisfied.
46:33And you got the chance to see my wrestling world.
46:37You've shown so much to me of Japanese history.
46:39This is what tag team wrestling has always been all about.
46:43Folks, that's going to do it.
46:44Night One, World Quest Two.
46:45For Chris Charlton, I'm Kevin Kelly.
46:47We'll see you tomorrow, everybody.
46:50We'll see you tomorrow.
46:50Bye bye.
