00:00In the 4th match, the 6th match in the 30 minutes, the 1st match.
01:00.
01:24In the world of professional wrestling, you take your wins with your losses.
01:28You take your public drama unfolding for the entire world to see,
01:33and you take your regrouping stage.
01:35Right now, United Empire have never needed to regroup harder,
01:40ever since their own entrance into a dog pound cage match.
01:45Newest member of United Empire, Templario, will look to regroup this unit.
01:50Jacob Austin Young will look to continue improving this unit.
01:58Francisco Akira!
02:03And now becoming one of the longest tenured members of United Empire.
02:07Francesco Akira certainly looking to lead.
02:10.
02:15.

04:59The headband is E.A.P.
05:17I.W.G.P. Junior Heavy Q Champion, Shin-Tho Tai-Ju-Mu-Me, El Desperado!
05:27And it has been a heated one.
05:30All up and down the road to wrestling, Tontaku.
05:35And the road will certainly end for Templario, one way or another.
05:40Coming up, Saga Arena, Wrestling Hizenokuri, April 29th, 2025.
05:46This tour will end with Templario walking away, I.W.G.P. Junior Heavyweight Champion,
05:51bringing the title back to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre for the first time
05:55in many, many a year.
05:57Or it will end with Templario heading back to Mexico empty-handed.
06:04At a time where United Empire is fractured, in need of stability,
06:10the newest recruit by perceived leader T.J.P. into this unit.
06:17That being Templario, must put up results, one way or another.
06:22Meanwhile, you see the wounds of war worn on the spine of El Desperado
06:36from recent death match competition.
06:38.
06:47Bell sounds were officially underway.
06:49It's one fall, 30-minute time limit.
06:51Champion, challenger beating three days ahead of their title match schedule.
06:57.
07:06Very notable on non-televised competition that we saw just a few nights ago,
07:10Templario picking up a tag team match victory over El Desperado,
07:15scoring the pin over Desperado, proving once indeed,
07:18yes, I can pin the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.
07:23And while that very well may be the case,
07:25Templario is in need of proving one thing even bigger,
07:28a thing that Desperado has questioned all throughout this challenge
07:31that's been made.
07:32Yes, you can pin me in tag team competition,
07:35but can you pin me when the lights are shining down in Saga Arena,
07:39and you are in the main event for the Junior Heavyweight title?
07:42Let's go!
07:44And it will be Cabradora after Cabradora,
07:47a heavyweight,
07:49or rather a junior heavyweight,
07:54a middleweight in CMLL turned junior in New Japan.
07:59.
08:04It is Templario that is looking to not only show out,
08:06just so often we talk about men like Teton,
08:09men like Mascaratorada when he makes his way into the New Japan sphere.
08:14Templario, among them all,
08:16wants to show out for his home country of Mexico,
08:19his home organization of Consejo.
08:21But it's connected even deeper with United Empire
08:25than I truly believe many would have expected
08:28when it was first announced that Templario
08:30would be involved in United Empire competition going forward,
08:33wearing the green and gold when he's competing down in CMLL.
08:36That's not something that everyone can say
08:39whenever it comes to their involvement between Japan and Mexico alike.
08:43.
08:49As Templario all for pride,
08:51and just as much for pleasure here towards Aguchi,
08:54got the back elbow.
08:55.
09:03It's been very interesting to see throughout this series
09:05on an un-televised competition just how well Templario
09:08and Jacob Austin Young have gotten along.
09:10I know Jacob Austin Young considered the resident rookie,
09:13resident young lion even after 10-plus years of competition
09:16inside the squared circle, but it is a different level here
09:20here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
09:23As into the cover here, we'll only find two for JAY.
09:29.
09:33Jacob Austin Young picking up a few new tricks
09:35early on in the evening with Templario.
09:37Spoken man earlier on said that he is loving that Lucha Libre influence
09:41Templario is giving to United Empire.
09:44Oh man, and a disgusting influence out of Ryusuke Taguchi.
09:49We are going to have to readjust just how dangerous JAY can be.
09:53.
09:54Oh, wait a minute.
09:56Equally as dangerous is Taguchi face first, the cover.
10:01Oh, that was beautiful camera work from our NJPW World staff.
10:05And, well, Jacob Austin Young is going to need some time to freshen up.
10:09Good Lord man, make your way to the back.
10:11.
10:20And meanwhile it is Francesco Akira inside the ring
10:23and has no time for the fun and games here.
10:25.
10:34the flexibility of a man like Francesco Akira.
10:37.
10:39And we'll never forget it, the 53rd anniversary event,
10:41really a coming out moment for Francesco Akira
10:44when he stepped into the ring with El Desperado
10:47for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
10:49And yes, it was Desperado up in the end,
10:51but Akira, a wonderful performance.
10:54.
10:55.
10:56And a momentum built into the moonsault.
10:59.
11:00Here's the cover.
11:01.
11:02And it is only two for Francesco Akira.
11:04.
11:06And you can kind of sense it there, a little homage to one,
11:09the Hawaiian brother of Francesco Akira on the evening.
11:12.
11:13.
11:14.
11:15.
11:16.

12:26.
12:27.
12:28.
12:29.
12:30.
12:31.
12:32And it is not one more time.
12:37Very, very important for El Fantasmo to build back up.
12:42Within the next three days, the world TV title on the line for LP.
12:46Here's the cover again.
12:47Akira nearly stole it with a victory roll.
12:49Fantasmo, CR2 inbound, Canadian Revolution.
13:02No, Akira, and revolves in his own way.
13:05That's Fantasmo face first into the pad.
13:08Victory roll, and a shot to the heart.
13:19And tag made in the blue corner, it is your green and black dawned,
13:25Jacob Austin Young.
13:31And Jacob, light round house off the top.
13:33Here's the cover, and it is only two.
13:35To El Fantasmo one more time.
13:40Oh, look at this.
13:42High impact out of Che once again, and it is frequent covers.
13:46And not frequent enough to score the three.
13:58Fantasmo has a huge opportunity to regain the world television championship.
14:03Which, keep in mind, he was never pinned or submitted for.
14:06Back in Rhea Goku.
14:07Tempatio, huge off the top drop kick.
14:11And Jacob Austin Young on the cover on Fantasmo.
14:16No.
14:37Wow, Akira on Tempatio.
14:39One, two, three, four.
14:45Chance of that kid up throughout this building tonight.
14:48And Akira unloads Ope Conhiro to the outside.
14:53No!
14:56Tempatio's got the flair, but does he have the execution?
15:00And a Sasuke special will prove that yes, indeed, the challenger does.
15:06Oh, wait a minute.
15:09What are we gonna get from J.A.Y. here?
15:11Are we gonna get dangerous tonight?
15:13Oh, and it's sudden death.
15:15A dangerous night for Jacob Austin Young, indeed.
15:19And now Fantasmo off the top.
15:23It is an unidentified flying opponent.
15:28U-F-O.
15:34And this one is over.
15:36Yelsgitel.
15:38Hey.

15:58El Desperado says that he will be the only one to represent Mexico as IWGP junior heavyweight
16:25champion templario believes it is in his blood and it is in his soul for him to retain or rather
16:32represent Mexico and Japan alike as IWGP junior heavyweight champion but it is not about country
16:40it is not about creed color or orientation in professional wrestling and by god it never
16:46should be it's all about the grabs and the lucha grabs come to pass coming up april 29th wrestling
