00:00we're the best in professional wrestling we're on fire we're gonna take these things to the limit
00:12excited for this rematch ladies and gentlemen
00:15with that dominion the young bucks made history only the second tag team
00:20and the first non-japanese team to help both the iwgb tag titles and the junior titles
00:26more on that in a moment but the team that were the long-time champions the young bucks defeated
00:35are here tonight in america to regain their title yeah this is a rematch uh of the bout between the
00:43two of them we have to see what adjustments each team has made now that they've had
00:49uh such time to know each other as well as they can in the ring and even though the young bucks are
00:57technically heavyweights right now they are still smaller for the team here of losing over knowledge
01:03this day upon evil and sanada an outstanding duo
01:12led by their their boss tesi unido
01:21lawson gubernale sanada
01:24this is my wgb tag championship hey look the challenge evil wasn't able to get aside for
01:33customers pop on i do you like the mask he's wearing that reminds me of megadeth's mascot big
01:41brattlehead i've had some uh csa issues myself a month or so did you also try to bring it a giant
01:49reefer side onto a plane i did not i had nothing reefer oriented on me at all
02:01so one fall 60 here in the cow palace
02:08the building that you saw arguably the greatest tag team of all time
02:13ray stevens and pat patterson for that tag team magic happened so many teams
02:19copied and still copied nothing's anything wrong with it
02:27the imitation in that case is for a good reason
02:34i just expect a great tag team matchup because we have two outstanding tag teams and the prize for the
02:44winner hit me higher in their their vocation well if evil and sanada want to come out ahead
02:53they need to take advantage of their size they need to slow this match down and they've got to keep the
02:58young bucks from moving in unison because whatever size they might lack they're gonna
03:04more than make up for it with tandem tag team offense and speed
03:10what's worse than one young buck two and when they both get moving
03:14it's been insane now the champions in the red corner
03:20nate jackson and
03:22nate jackson
03:27they are the young
03:31seven times junior tag champion
03:34that's history in itself and then as we said only the uh second tag team in the entire history of this
03:40organization
03:54california native
04:01the other jackson's of california the other jackson
04:05the riverside jackson
04:06they say they're the best tag team in the world
04:13can't take any argument against that point
04:17look what they're holding look where they are
04:21back to your rare occasion to see him with only one set of belts to be perfectly honest
04:27bring a lot of titles they've never they've been carrying they've carried those plenty of times
04:32seven-time iwgb junior heavyweight tag champions they have part of the never hoping like six-man tag
04:38championship i think they've pretty much had every single indie title that has ever existed as a tag team
04:44well this should be an interesting matchup as josh mentioned
04:53it would seem the best strategy to beat the young bucks is to try to isolate one
04:59slow it down i love you nick take very few chances and
05:03and impose your size advantage but it starts the pacing of the match
05:10well you got to wonder what's the state of matt jackson's back is there is there still an injury
05:15there is there still something that could be exploited by evelyn sonata well the young bucks have
05:22had some injuries to deal with there's no doubt but
05:24they're always there they're always competing they're they never
05:28seemingly miss they're very resilient so i'm trying to say
05:34well they've been such veterans i know that you know they're they're young guys but they've been
05:39in this business for so long they've they've learned how to how to work through those kind of issues
05:46reminiscent of the ricky morton and rock and robert gibson the rock and roll express
05:51they beat so many teams that were bigger than them in high stakes matches
05:56it there is it can be done but to do it you have to dictate your pace
06:03smart excellent strategy
06:10and evil got the receipt well got to keep your eyes open especially in a situation like a tag team match
06:21you're looking for that skull end
06:26nice agility by sonata
06:31to the most athletic competitors you're going to see
06:35the young bucks
06:36you've got no arm triangles here
06:48scorpion death log
06:52rolls over the whole group oh wow
06:55who the hell's legal i don't even know does it matter
06:57matter that should matter right it shouldn't yeah it should should matter
07:05i want to i think sonata's legal sonata
07:08sonata and matt i believe
07:12either way sonata's going for a ride
07:13the tandem offense nobody does it better or has ever done it better in a tag team situation than the
07:25young bucks
07:28i imagine they would be absolute hell and tornado tags especially where you don't have
07:32oh wow you don't have to make that legal tag they work in tandem as much as possible
07:46or double team and it's just being
07:49operated there's a counter
07:51eagles in
07:56right in the rear glute i know that maybe that might seem silly to some of you at home but
08:01it's legitimate if if that heel of the boot is able to penetrate into that that glute muscle
08:07that kills the mobility of matt jackson and trust me mobility is a necessity for the young bucks
08:16isolation we talked isolation earlier can the bucks be isolated one from the other while tags
08:23are ongoing by their challengers for the tag titles we're seeing some of that
08:29the first trip now sonata going for the paradise lock
08:39and nick jackson here put into a pretzel
08:45that move was made famous i think at alcatraz
08:50or walla walla
08:51tag made here comes evil with those same intentions
09:06here we go cover
09:11nick jackson got the air driven out of it yeah that was a nasty senton hit square from evil there as he's
09:18now got both wrists of nick jackson's torching their shoulders and a hammer on those joints
09:25the one thing in my opinion that makes the young bucks so special is their resiliency
09:33they just seemingly can take a hell of a beating and still be able to regroup and finish their journey
09:40those matches between the young bucks and repungee 3k you know both teams fighting for injuries the
09:47whole time and no quit hardly at all and not until matt was able to put that sharpshooter on
09:58scorpion death block or sasori got them there however you guys would like to refer to it
10:03out there in tv land nick jackson trying to figure a way to get a tag
10:10just not getting it done right now the pace is what it is the isolation is what we predicted
10:19so now where will it go from here it's the next one
10:22nick wanted to make that day here comes sonata
10:28pulling his brother off of the apron
10:30that man sonata took matt jackson down and his face bounced off the apron
10:40well i can't feel too bad about any under anything underhanded happening to the young bucks they have
10:47showing us their fair share of underhanded tactics here members of the bullet club but
10:53around the bend came nick jackson got a little retaliation sonata
11:00that's agility there getting out of the way our pace quickens we got a tag
11:04so business has picked up here in the cow palace with the proverbial hot tag for matt jackson
11:12who's being double teamed whipped into the rope he ducks the clothesline double clothesline
11:19double clothesline from an adrenaline filled matt jackson one half of the iwgp tag team champions
11:28some right hands on the top of the head some chops
11:30the ropes yeah the ropes uh-oh matt got set a little bit early
11:39but recovers lands on his feet
11:45what a cutter sunset flip rolled up going right for the sparking deadlock
11:51the submission matt grabbed his back there he saw that i'm sure he didn't want to see it but
12:01it's there so to answer your question it looks like those that lingering lower back issue
12:06is still just that lingering for matt jackson well he aggravated it when he hit that cutter
12:11on uh sonata on the outside no give
12:16oh from the concrete lord that's a knee what a shot that was
12:21up there and over face buster an evil face buster potential motion
12:27the jackson the jackson's are everywhere here comes evil you're gonna see evil take flight are you
12:44kidding me somebody to call oh never mind hang up the phone
12:51oh drop kick paces clicking to a very young bucks level well everybody knows the devil's got wings but
13:01the young bucks managed to clip them when evil decided to want that he wanted to take flight tonight
13:07now everybody is paying the price a lot of extracurricular activity for this referee to try to adjudicate
13:22and matt getting to their getting to their feet first getting in the corner successful clean tags
13:29sonata matt jackson exchanging strikes in the center of the ring
13:37he wants to drop to the floor and
14:07lock the scissor around his body complete the skull and oh
14:14a giant swing version yeah now going up for a moonsault i imagine
14:20it's not it landed on his feet there's that uh don leo jonathan like
14:27on the apron might as well be in the parking lot
14:31you're getting back in the career shortener to say the least
14:37nick's lining him up
14:42get on target
14:46are you kidding
14:46I'm like, Matt Jackson, I don't believe that.
14:52Wow.
14:54That shows amazing resiliency by Sonata.
14:59The Bucs are firmly in control right now.
15:01They've isolated Sonata.
15:04Matt's got that Scorpion Deathlock on him in the middle of the ring.
15:07Knicks playing interference, keeping Evil out of the equation.
15:11The Bucs of youth are on fire.
15:14They're controlling this match.
15:15It's only just why they are so good in regard as the best team in the world.
15:21The eyes on Nick, keeping Evil out.
15:25Look out, look out, look out out there.
15:29All we need to get rid of Evil in the world is Nick Jackson, apparently.
15:34Sonata on the verge of tapping.
15:39Sonata on the cliff.
15:41Let me tap.
15:42The referee says no.
15:43He's saying, that wasn't my hand, that was my wrist.
15:51Scorpion Deathlock.
15:53Is it going to get the win, JR?
15:55Sonata's close, but he's trying to gut it out.
16:00What a surge of energy and adrenaline.
16:03Sonata leaks and grass the bottom rope like it was a life preserver, and he's floating at sea.
16:11Well, he took a heavy toll for it, though.
16:13He managed to get out of the fire, if not to end up right back into the frying pan.
16:18So, the question we always ask, how much damage did the extended Scorpion Deathlock do?
16:26Oh, we see him just laying there prone.
16:30Matt, he's back, giving him some trouble.
16:32Maybe that kick to the glute from earlier, too, as he walks gingerly.
16:36Bucs' eyes are big.
16:42So, are there plans?
16:44Oh, going for more back for your Bucs.
16:47Sonata.
16:49Well, the money's no good here.
16:51A double bonus.
16:54Avoiding both the Bucs, who rarely make two mistakes like that with that significant back-to-back.
17:01Now, Evil's in.
17:03Yeah!
17:04Just a brutal suplex.
17:07Here's the size, and the power can be coming to this major advantage for opponents of the Young Bucs,
17:14especially these two, Evil and Sonata.
17:17Release German's doing some serious damage here.
17:21Right on his head.
17:23Come on!
17:24Jackson folded up like an accordion from that belt of back release suplex.
17:29High impact.
17:32Nowhere to go with back in the corner.
17:34Fireman Carey pickup.
17:36Tag champion's in trouble.
17:38Oh, darkness falls.
17:40Powerbomb.
17:43Like you've said many a time, JR, he's not controlling the shoulders on that.
17:46He didn't control it.
17:47The impact, he thought, he meaning Evil, would have been enough.
17:52But it wasn't.
17:53You gotta cover those shoulders.
17:57Spinning through, looking for the old Sodogari.
17:58Oh, strong reverse elbow.
18:03Really nicely done by Nick Jackson, stepping right into it.
18:07Made it special.
18:10Good amount of power still left in Nick, but...
18:12Double team.
18:17Evil with a cover.
18:19Tons are on the line.
18:20And out of nowhere, out of nowhere came Matt Jackson.
18:24Sonata taking him down the outside.
18:31But Evil is residing and holding court.
18:34Everything is Evil right now.
18:41The reverse elbows have been a friend of the Young Bucks tonight.
18:43The referee was not invited to the superkick party.
18:52But he crashed the party, to say the very least.
18:57I would suggest another official be summoned before it's too late, Josh.
19:04There's a ladder.
19:06No.
19:07It's a panel chair.
19:09Boom.
19:11Tandem superkicks take the referee right out of this match.
19:14There is no authority here in the ring.
19:19Evil's got a steel chair.
19:23Swings to the fences.
19:27Hot potato.
19:30Oh!
19:30Well, can't win a wall in a battle of the hot potato chair.
19:45Matt Jackson moving a little, in a little slow, painful way.
19:53The Bucks are taking some tandem.
19:56Here we go.
19:57Melker driver.
19:59Oh!
20:00And the counter.
20:03The counter.
20:04The counter of a chair.
20:06Are you kidding me?
20:07Oh!
20:08He's crushed.
20:12The referee being manhandled.
20:15Looking back in the ring.
20:17The shoulders are down.
20:19Oh!
20:20Oh, my God.
20:21How close was that?
20:24Referee's hand was descending to the canvas.
20:27But Matt Jackson doesn't look like he's in this fight at all.
20:31Look at him.
20:32He's laying there prone.
20:34He's shaking his head.
20:36He's got some feelings.
20:37He's all the way back in it.
20:38Oh!
20:39No!
20:44Lesson!
20:45Houston Houston football!
20:47Dome team again for the challenge.
20:48Barlet is hooked. Shoulders are flat.
20:53E. Bell cannot believe it.
20:56And that was just a gut check for Matt Jackson.
20:59And he passed the damn test, let me tell you.
21:02Sonata went up to Nick.
21:04Over to the top.
21:07Sonata looked like a missile.
21:11It looked like he might have injured himself a bit in that exchange.
21:15But the point was to get Nick out of the equation.
21:18Backslide.
21:19Boom.
21:21Right in the temple.
21:25Takedown by Matt Jackson.
21:28Yosotogari.
21:30He runs right into the superkick by Sonata.
21:32A pair of superkicks for Sonata to chew on.
21:36No barbecue sauce, just leather.
21:39I don't even know if barbecue sauce could make Pat any better.
21:42Oh, look at this.
21:43Young Bucks going back to it.
21:45Going back to it, brought him to the dance.
21:47They nail it.
21:50One, two, three.
21:57What are your winners?
21:59Nick Setson and the Young Bucks.
22:00It's the Young Bucks.
22:01It's the Young Bucks.
22:01It's the Young Bucks.
22:01It's the greatest tag team in the world.
22:03I'd love for you to bring me who he is.
22:05And there's still high WCP Tag Champions.
22:08They battled with bigger opponents, stronger opponents.
22:12They cut their ass off to leave the Cow Palace as the Tag Team Champions.
22:24Nobody I've seen in recent memory can execute the handle offense
22:29any better than the Young Bucks are doing right now.
22:34Agreed, JR.
22:35And, man, did they have to fight through it to come out on top tonight.
22:40Evelyn Sonata gave them everything they could handle and then some.
22:43And I really honestly thought that they had possibly lost this match
22:48at several moments.
22:50These two young men are really beat up.
22:53But they're physical, they're tough, they're resilient.
22:56because the Young Bucks just defeated the Tag Team here tonight
23:02to retain the tag title.
23:06This is a history-making combination in the Jacksons.
23:14Big money ballplayers.
23:16Three, two, three, three.
23:18The Buffs showing respect to their fans.
23:37And it is reciprocal.
23:39They really earned their money's worth tonight.
23:56The fans feel like they got their money's worth as well.
23:59No doubt.
23:59You're right.
24:00Great effort by both teams,
24:02but the best team in the world prevailed here in the Cow Palace.
24:08And the match that I'm sure it was making
24:09the great Ray Stephens and Pat Patterson
24:12the all-time greatest team let's go.
24:14Very, very proud.
24:17These two kids are refining the art
24:19of tag team wrestling.
24:21The psychology, the strategy,
24:22the whole game.
