00:00Welcome to the house of torture
00:34Right
00:35Certainly shocked a lot of people when the announcements came and went for Super Junior Tag League of 2026
00:41block
00:41Didn't know that last year's winners the defending winners of Super Junior Tag League
00:482025 house of torture show and joking that will really split the means of production
00:54Show is reunited with the man he teamed with in the 2022 Super Junior Tag League Dick Togo
01:01Meanwhile, Doki will team alongside his 2022 partner Yoshinobu Kanemaru coming up later tonight
01:16Shou and Doki that looked down to their record from 2022 at a 2-7 win-
01:28loss
01:29The course of a five-match tournament in the year of 2026
01:54Meanwhile, when we talk about expectations
01:58And in Super Junior Tag League years past, it is Jacob Austin Young who had
02:04Every anticipation in the world the team alongside Francesco Akira in the 2025 Super Junior Tag League
02:11It is Akira who was taken out with an injury one year ago
02:15And was replaced with at the time the newest member of United Empire Tempario
02:20But there have been many new members of the Empire that have come and gone since then
02:24Francesco Akira has seen them all up close and personal
02:27Competing alongside United Empire in the United States alongside Will Ospreay
02:32It's easy to see where Akira's allegiance lies
02:35I have a lot of questions about Jacob Austin Young though
02:38From the Empire, J.A.Y. Jacob Austin Young!
02:47Crown of Fire, Francisco Akira!
02:54Kira Austin Young!
02:54Kira Austin Young!
03:01Kira Austin Young!
03:04Kira Austin Young!
03:05Alongside Zane-J as we get into the action here, and we're right ahead of the
03:10boil, Shohaz Kama
03:11Kira Austin Young!
03:16This is Taitama's countryside!
03:23I didn't even know where it was.
03:25Where am I?
03:29It's just that
03:30It's just hot.
03:32Kumagai bastard
03:34why
03:36Me and
03:3835th anniversary
03:39Even though Dip Integration is out there
03:41Why is the start of the league season
03:46It's so damn lame.
03:48I'm from Kumagaya, Saitama.
03:51What kind of harassment is this?
03:53All of that is...
03:54You guys
03:55It's the Empire's fault.
03:56These damn bastards
03:59Hey you guys
04:00We lost, didn't we?
04:01Hey, not Empire
04:02Yo
04:03In the Kumagaya Empire
04:05To the Empire
04:05Get out of the name
04:06I'll be a laughingstock for the rest of my life.
04:07This damn
04:08Either way
04:10You guys are easy.
04:12Bokobakarishal
04:422 points go on the board for a victory.
04:441 point on the board for a draw.
04:47It does include double count out, double DQ, or time limits.
04:500 points for a loss and you do not want to lose out
04:53in a tournament that only features five in-ring matches.
04:57Francesco Akira well aware of that fact.
04:59It's a former Super Junior Tag League winner himself.
05:02Back in the year of 2023, here's the cover for Akira.
05:05Beautifully applied on the crucifix down.
05:07Big drop kick there for Akira.
05:10First time getting to see Francesco Akira compete in the Land of the Rising Sun
05:15since night 19 of the G1 Climax Tournament that was back on August 16th.
05:20He's been competing heavily across all elite wrestling
05:23alongside Andrade Aluno and Will Ospreay.
05:27Multiple episodes of Dynamite that have come and gone
05:29and a lot of success that Akira has found over in the United States,
05:32but has not lost his roots whatsoever as Jacob Austin Young, in the meantime,
05:36tripping up Francesco Akira's opportunity here.
05:39It looks like Akira not too happy with Jacob Austin Young has been spewing as of recent.
05:45You're big side, right? You're fucking big side, right?
05:49This is certainly going to be a story to follow.
05:52I mean, we know that Francesco Akira's alliance is certainly going to lie on the side of
05:57Will Ospreay.
05:58Jacob Austin Young has to be in a really strange position right now,
06:01brought into United Empire, not by Callum Newman, not by Will Ospreay,
06:05but by the former Capitan that is TJP.
06:10TJP's lone addition to United Empire.
06:12Meanwhile, Will Ospreay has made a lot of changes in the United States
06:15that Francesco Akira has been privy to,
06:17and Callum Newman has seen the addition of Zane J and a few others right now.
06:21It is indeed Jacob Austin Young that's on the wrong side of this one.
06:27Dick Togo and Sho looking to fare much better than they did back in the year of 2022
06:34on the lower end of the point score in their block by the end of the Super Junior Tag League
06:39tournament that year.
06:43You really have to give a hand to the intelligence of Dick Togo
06:47and maybe even that of Sho as well, believe it or not.
06:49Covering a cat of two, says referee Yuya Sakamoto.
06:54Think about Sho and Doki, they could have easily entered this year's tournament.
06:58Say, hey, we're the defending Super Junior Tag League winners.
07:00We're going to go at it again.
07:02We could win the 2026 tournament all over.
07:04But Sho teaming alongside a veteran like Dick Togo,
07:07Doki is standing alongside Yoshino Bukanamaru.
07:09I think we're saying, hey, we have two former Super Junior Tag League winners.
07:13Let's go ahead and spread them across, House of Torture.
07:16That doubles the opportunity for House of Torture to have success in this tournament.
07:19So says the house.
07:21And I really do believe that is a great opportunity coming here,
07:26especially for a man like Dick Togo,
07:28recently challenged for the DDT Universal Championship back at Taichi's Old School Pro Wrestling 2 event.
07:34That's still available for pay-per-view purchase right now with English coverage.
07:38You can purchase that at njpwworld.com.
07:42Oh, good lord.
07:42Yes, it is.
07:43Oh, good lord, Dick Togo just sent Akira to J-A-Y, and that right there.
07:47That's why Dick Togo is one of the smartest men you're going to find in any room
07:51He sits in.
07:52That's why Dick Togo is one of the smartest men you're going to find in any room
07:55Francesco Akira certainly used to fighting from an underneath position.
07:59It was the story of the 2023 Super Junior Tag League tournament.
08:03Francesco Akira being beat down time and time again.
08:07Senseless by all flat.

09:16and they are not expecting to slow down.
09:205 minutes have passed.
09:21Akira on the inside,
09:22and here comes Dick Togo down to the ground.
09:24Watch it one more time.
09:25Akira is able to put the block in on Show.
09:27Rolls right through,
09:28and desperate need for the tag here.
09:30Jacob Austin Young wants into this one.

10:04Jacob Austin Young and Sho have had their own fair share of battles over the last few years
10:08Ever since,Jacob Austin Young was brought into the fold by TJP and United Empire
10:14Competed in his first ever Super Junior Tag League tournament just one year ago
10:18Alongside Templario, here's the cover of the Shining Wizard for a two
10:23Not nearly enough yet for Jacob Austin Young to score a victory
10:29Second Super Junior Tag League appearance for Jacob Austin Young
10:33Looking to do just a little bit better on the road to power struggle
10:37Let's go around as a big spit in the eye of Sho
10:40And talking about two real bastards here
10:43And Jacob Austin Young and the Murder Machine
10:47Off the ropes here, Shinjiro Otani, boot right across the jaw
10:53Washing the face of that dirty mug that is Sho
10:57Into the cover here for Jacob Austin Young
10:59Still not there at a count of two
11:01Come on Jacob, Jacob
11:05Opportunity for the first two points to be put on the board
11:07And you see Francesco Akir here calling for attack
11:11Jacob Austin Young believes he can call this one on his own
11:14And might be right about that in the end
11:16JAY won a brain rot instead
11:18Here Comes Sho
11:19The brain rots of a human that is the Murder Machine
11:21And going right back to the eyes is Jacob Austin Young again
11:26Oh and Sakamoto sent to the middle
11:28Spear from Sho
11:33Well that plan did not work out the way for Jacob Austin Young
11:37And Dick Togo now going to make the tag and isolate
11:40A singular member of the United Empire
11:43Jacob Austin Young and Francesco Akira
11:46Desperately need to put up results
11:49United Empire continuing to hang by a thread
11:51In the leadership dispute between Will Ospreay and Calum Newman
11:54And we know which side Zane JAY fits on
11:57JAY sits on the side of Newman
11:59Who will sit on the side of the Empire overall
12:01As well trying to put Sakamoto to good use
12:03But instead
12:05Oh
12:06Dick to Dick contact
12:07And a brain buster from Sho
12:11Into the cover here on Jacob Austin Young
12:14Two
12:19You only get five matches to prove over the course of the next week
12:22Plus that you are the best junior heavyweight tag team in professional wrestling today
12:27Let's get on there
12:29Sho and Dick Togo certainly have the makings of such to be put up tonight
12:33But it's all about Jacob Austin Young
12:34What he can accomplish here
12:36As that side headlock taken
12:37And here comes Sakamoto down to the canvas
12:39Here Comes Sho
12:41A hair pull mat slam from the murder machine
12:43And
12:44Well, this is a good show.
12:46Has Zane Jay pusted it down to the corner
12:50I don't like this
12:51I don't like this
12:51Follow on
12:52Follow on
12:53A spoiler choke from Dick Togo
12:56And here comes Francesco Akira
13:00Somebody's got to save the day at the end for all of this
13:02As Francesco Akira
13:03Beautiful leg lariat
13:04Take down Sho in the action
13:08You see that spoiler wire
13:11From Jacob Austin Young
13:13The spoiler choke wrapped around the throne of Togo and Akira
13:17A little bit of a different mentality here for Francesco Akira
13:20Okay
13:21You pick your side now
13:22You pick your side now
13:24Gentlemen you've got to get on the same page
13:25Don't let me do it now
13:26We need this right now
13:28Francesco Akira makes the tag
13:29And I don't think Jacob Austin Young
13:31Going to be happy about that one whatsoever
13:34United Empire desperately needing to put wins on the board
13:38Hold the string together for the beast

15:30There is no right way
15:32To get the job done
