00:15.
04:18It is the number one contender to the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship, Yuya Uemura.
06:28For only four more broadcasts on NJPW World, will we hear the chants of Naito echo throughout
06:49and JPW area.
07:52As short as one could imagine.
07:54And the future is bright.

08:37as IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion.
08:40But does Yu-Gi-Gi-Mura have what it takes
08:42to wrestle away Tsuji's identity
08:46as Global Heavyweight Champion?
09:07IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion
09:14180cm, 102kg
09:17Naito Tetsuyao!
09:37IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion
09:43Oh my, we're already getting started here.
09:47Well, it's not unlike LIJ
09:49to want to get the jump on a matchup like this,
09:51but Shingo Takagi, an absolute fire
09:55that has been unleashed all throughout.
09:57As Takagi, Takagi, oh my!
10:00Just sent Shoto Umino right into the English broadcast booth
10:04and we finally have a bell sound in here.
10:07IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion
10:10Well, Shingo Takagi not happy whatsoever
10:13with the disrespect that Shoto Umino has shown
10:16and seen it all across social media
10:18and it's not on me to repeat the words that were said.
10:21The point being proven.
10:22Shingo Takagi does not believe
10:24in what Shoto Umino presents himself to be.
10:28Even this quote-unquote rebirth of Shoto Umino
10:31is not in the belief system of Shingo Takagi,
10:34calling it false, calling it phony,
10:36and it will all be tested coming up on May 3rd
10:39in a special singles match as those two present.
10:43And it is indeed Hunomu Takahashi and Toohiro Ishii.
10:50One of my favorite interactions that I've seen
10:53over the past calendar year has been these two men
10:56and multi-man tag scenarios.
10:58A lot of holes to talk about filling within New Japan Pro Wrestling coming in the near future.
11:07In the most recent of discussion, Tetsuya Naito and Bushi.
11:10What does Los Ingobernables de El Pond look like without Tetsuya Naito,
11:15without El Ingobernable himself?
11:17And this is a question that we are going to have to find out the answer to
11:22in a very difficult fashion.
11:24Sawed out Tendanero there, a little do-si-do.
11:27And that was a double clothesline attempt there.
11:30Which is not going the favor of L.I.J.
11:34Hey, Toohiro Ishii just driving Naito down.
11:37Here's a little bit more of that tag team camaraderie
11:39that we saw all the way back just a few nights ago.
11:43Taichi and Toohiro Ishii defeating Horobu Takahashi and Tetsuya Naito
11:48in what was a very special, emotional tag team matchup
11:52at Wrestling Red Zone in Hiroshima.
11:56And this victory momentum has been leveraged by Ishii and Taichi
12:00into a call-out to the new tag team champions of the IWGP,
12:04Calum Newman and Great O'Conn.
12:06Great O'Conn will be in action later on tonight as a double champion,
12:10an opportunity to hold on to both of those titles
12:13against El Fantasma with the NJPW World Television title on the lot.
12:17And Tendanero will work out in favor of L.I.J. here.
12:22And Shingo Takagi doesn't need Taichi.
12:32We've seen that Saga dance a few times, too many.
12:35Now it's down to it.
12:36Shingo Takagi, Shota Umino.
12:39And it is a call of fire that we are seeing out of the Rampage Dragon.
12:43If there is anyone you will step into the ring with who will test your Moxie.
12:54That will test your grit, your will as an athlete.
12:57It is indeed the Rampage Dragon himself.
13:00And now you're gonna see it right out in front of us here at ringside.
13:03And I'm fearing for the safety of all involved.
13:06Takagi now with that ball sideways.
13:15And it is the fire out of Shota Umino that Shingo Takagi looks to bring.
13:19And it's what we're seeing already for wrestling.
13:22He's in no goodie.
13:30And now if you're asking me my own personal opinion,
13:33let's try and keep this violence in the center of the ring.
13:35And that's what Shota Umino has in mind here.
13:38Driving down Takagi with that shoulder tackle.
13:45Tack going to be made here.
13:46And it is Takamishinoku.
13:48And it is looking ahead to the action.
13:50Coming up, we'll be involved in the final matches for Los Ingobernantes de Japón as we know it.
13:57On the opposite end of the equation, Takamishinoku.
14:00Part of that just four guys retreat.
14:08As the attack gonna be made here.
14:10And it is on to IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, Yota Tsuji.
14:16Bringing out the big match whites here tonight, or Yota Tsuji.
14:19And no, I'm not talking about those pearly teeth of the Global Heavyweight Champion nor the white strap on the title which he brings down to ringside.
14:26But it is indeed Tsuji.
14:28Yota Tsuji will be doing battle in the semi main event.
14:34A lot of controversial words from Yota Tsuji have ensued in the build to this Global Heavyweight title matchup.
14:40Flattened down by Takamishinoku with the boot.
14:42And tag to be made here to your challenger on May 4th, Yuya Uemura.
14:54We know for a fact we have seen it true to light.
14:57Yuya Uemura has not only adapted but evolved every single step of the way since he shaved his head back in Sapporo in 2024.
15:04Since the injury that occurred the last time, these two men stepped into a singles encounter back in G134.
15:14Yuya Uemura has taken every single step he can to better himself and not only better himself but better the world around him.
15:22And it is.
15:24Uemura floats on the cover and will only find two.
15:27Yuya Uemura for the past month or so I believe has been
15:33collecting donations for fire relief here.
15:36A local fire having taken place in Japan.
15:39Damaging a sector of this country.
15:42Yuya Uemura delivering those proceeds recently to the city or to the prefecture rather.
15:48It was endangered by him.
15:50Yuya Uemura has done all he can to better pro wrestling.
15:53To better the world around him.
15:55And now looks to better the globe as Global Heavyweight Champion.
15:59But is going to have to get through Yota Tsuji.
16:02A very difficult beast to get through.
16:09And it is Bushi.
16:23Bushi has always been an incredible soldier for L.I.J.
16:25And that leadership L.I.J. belonging to Tetsuya Naito.
16:30Bushi going to give it the run around here.
16:33Bushi rocks it.
16:35Good God have mercy.
16:37That one has ascended into space here tonight.
16:46And we are crashing back down to orbit if you are Yuya Uemura.
16:50What a shot from Bushi.
16:52An incredible soldier Bushi has been for L.I.J.
17:05And where Tetsuya Naito goes.
17:06Bushi very well could be following if there is anywhere to go in the near future.
17:11But Bushi a little bit off the top with that rewire.
17:14And then Yuya Uemura looking to turn back time in his own right.
17:18And now we are back to it.
17:20It is Team Hontai and just four guys on the attack here.
17:29And it is just four guys and just three boots.
17:34Yuya Uemura finds the cover on Bushi and broke it up by Naito in the end.
17:38And it is just off camera shot here.
17:42But I am getting more anxious as time goes on.
17:44As much Shingo Takagi and Schultz Uemura like laying in these blows right in front of me at ringside.
17:51And we will take it back inside the ring though.
17:53Kanuki deadbolt suplex Yuya with the win.
17:58Oh well we were about to hear your ringing announcement.
18:08And it is not going to come soon enough.
18:10Yuya Uemura and Team Hontai are your winners.
18:13Oh god.
18:16A Chico Takagi.
18:17Hey what the hell are we doing here?
18:22Control yourself.
18:28We know things have gotten personal very very quickly between these two men.
18:43Shota Uemura questions the past of Shingo Takagi.
18:48Shingo Takagi questions the future of Shota Uemura.
18:52One will be written and one will be wrong.
18:54Coming up on May 3rd.
18:56Wrestling Tantaku 2025.
18:58Night one.
19:16I am getting a look at this steel chair right here.
19:18This is completely broken at ringside from what Shingo Takagi had attempted to do.
19:23Behead Shota Uemura into that turnbuckle post.
19:26And meanwhile much more of topic to discussion.

20:05Everybody in time winds.
20:10We only have three more appearances on NJPW World Broadcast.
20:31Oh, wait a minute, oh, wait a minute, no time for sentimentality.
20:36Tomahiro Ishii and Hiromu Takahashi are going to war out here.
20:40Ishii and Hiromu, what the hell is going on here?
20:55Well, I talked about enjoying the battles we've seen between these two men over the past
21:01year or so.
21:04Tomahiro Ishii has just had enough with whatever it is Hiromu is looking to serve here.
21:09We only have three more appearances here tonight, or rather than the rest of time for what Tetsuya
21:24Naito and Bushi in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

21:46to be one to watch out for a seven match card.

21:55Wrestling Dantaku 2025, it will be just four guys and Hontai taking on LIJ.
