00:30THE END
01:00Wrestling fans, this match
01:09Is not only going to be a tag team match
01:13In the scale of what is to come here tonight
01:15But it is a chance to set the tone
01:17For what could be the most historic night
01:20In one Callum Newman's career
01:23Win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship on the line
01:26In our main event
01:27Tag team champion alongside Callum Newman
01:30Great Okan, teams along
01:31Jacob Austin Young and Chris
01:33An opportunity to set pace
01:35Yeah, yeah, exactly
01:36An opportunity for the opposite numbers
01:38Of the World Heavyweight Champion
01:41And challenger in our main event here tonight
01:43Great Okan, Callum Newman's partner
01:45And Yoshihashi, Hiroki Goto's partner
01:48Obviously
01:49And also a chance for Jacob Austin Young
01:51To show out
01:53Showed a lot more aggression
01:54Yesterday than what we've seen of late
01:56And feels a little bit snubbed
02:08From the best of the Super Genius lineup
02:10Well, I've got a feeling
02:11It's going to take out some aggression
02:12On a BOSJ winner in Master Watan
02:15Fate Grand Order Sponsored
02:18Tarabini G-Store Ambassador
02:20Dominator
02:22Great Okan!
02:27You guys in the same way
02:28He won't run
02:28Your amis
02:50You soon came back now
02:50You soon came back now
02:54from one half of the heavyweight tag team champions great okan to one half of the new
03:05IWGP junior heavyweight tag champion
03:08it was back at wrestling izen no kuni in saga arena when master wato and yo in their very
03:19first opportunity alongside one another challenge robbie eagles and co-stage fugina for the IWGP
03:26junior heavyweight tag team championship and well the first go around for wato and yo saw victory
03:32and well I believe master wato carries a lot of momentum heading into best of the super junior
03:37historically a champion walking into the tournament never really tends to have the best luck yeah
03:43whether you're a tag team or a singles you've got that mark on your back of bullseye so to speak
03:49shaman 180cm 102kg
03:53yoshihara shiru
04:01IWGP junior heavyweight champion way to the grandmaster
04:06並みに大阪府池梨スポーツ shinzen大使
04:11master wato
04:16all right so last year's best of the super junior off obviously thanks to knee injury last time he was in a tournament he won the whole thing the best of the super juniors in 2023
04:30master wato will be entering this year's best of the super junior tournament in block eight
04:42will be kicking off the tournament on night two against Clark Connors Connors is going to be fresh off of a long long travel schedule when it comes to competing in resurgence we'll talk about resurgence as we get into the night as we are kicking off this match up the bell sounds and we are officially underway united empire getting the jump
04:48yeah that's uh why in a sense that first two days the best of the super juniors we got both blocks in action but a split crew and it's because of chiefly Clark Connors really you know i think a couple of other guys as well
05:02going in at the last minute and so Clark's definitely going to be feeling it going off of that big tag team match bullet club pass versus bullet club present now we can now we can properly cool it
05:16and of course hitting a little bit on new japan pro wrestling's upcoming schedule with resurgence live english coverage in ontario california may night it's going to be an incredible time and while we do not have the full card release chris a little bit of an elephant in the room iwgp world heavyweight title on the line with cal
05:46newman and hiroki goto and jacob austin young takes down with the russian leg sweep we have no idea which of those men will go to the resurgence in ontario and who would challenge them all we know is that the title will be defended in toyota ream yeah and so you would have to look at some of the big winners
06:05oh my goodness great okan a lot of aggression to yoshihashi
06:09shingo tsukage picked up a big win yesterday walker i know he got in the face of kanosuke tikeshita but he could just as easily throw his oar in with the world heavyweight champion
06:19taksaber junior defeating marashita as well
06:23every win that's why even tag team matches such as these you can say well this is a preview sets the pace for later on but it can also set the pace for something big in your career jacob austin young if he beats master
06:39but it might not immediately change his future when it comes to best of the super juniors but it will certainly give cause to the selection committee
06:48as he cover to be made here in a quick kick at one for great okan you know we talk about big victories we harken back to yesterday no victory bigger and more detrimental to your physical state
07:02than the dog pound cage match victory it was david finley and the dogs picking up the win over the house it wouldn't shock me if david finley had championship gold
07:09somewhere in his mind in the near future
07:11well gate kid has gave them won the match in the end to the only he scored the last four i think david finley is certainly going to have
07:18his eyes wait
07:20once they get past this match with the bucks and whoever the bucks will bring next friday i think
07:28more closely immediately on his agenda walker will be evil demanding a dog collar match after he was
07:37strung up and nearly hung by evil at the end of that matchup yesterday
07:42it's not about bullet club anymore i think it's you know it's about ending one or the other entirely perhaps
07:51and has become all too personal all too uncomfortable with david finley and evil but great okan knows how to
08:00keep this one exactly where he wants it
08:04might be time for a nice sit walker
08:06and just where great okan wants to be hey look at this it can't catch it on our camera shot there but jacob austin
08:21young was working over that
08:23left arm of master watta where the official wasn't looking at just getting a little bit of an extra tweak and that's something that jacob austin young didn't used to do but something that he started doing recently you know i mean i think that's
08:25it's nothing big you know i think jacob austin young is a very experienced competitor he knows his way around the ring you know it's it's the little things
08:35and the little signs of aggression the little signs of not just being happy to be here but making sure that you stay here and that you stay successful
08:45you know it's the little things and the little signs of aggression the little signs of
08:49not just being happy to be here but making sure that you stay here and that you stay successful
08:56and there is no one that knows it more than great okan as the sleeper slam for watto is going to take
09:01down the iwgp tag team champion it's very difficult to make it anywhere in this sport being a nice person
09:09chris charlton great okan and jacob austin young well aware of that as yoshihashi is going to look to hunt some
09:15heads here tonight well we know that tomohiro ishi and taichi have laid down their own challenge for
09:21the iwgp tag team championship however yoshihashi roki goto still throwing their hat in the midst of that
09:28conversation even following that tag title match in hiroshi yeah for sure and uh yeah i mean the iwgp
09:35world heavyweight championship the singles contention certainly foremost on hiroki goto's mind but i think
09:41if there is a chance then bishmo won another crack at the tag title as it is okan off the ropes
09:51underneath for yoshihashi and hunter for the man who caught it cover again for yoshihashi and it will
09:59not be tonight goes without saying that yoshihashi is gunning for the head of great okan to keep
10:09himself and hiroki goto in that iwgp tag title conversation
10:25there's one thing that
10:29helps unite the empire in tag team success i mean great okan and callum newman snatching the iwgp tag
10:36team titles then friday night in ontario resurgence templario and tjp looking to become strong tag team
10:44champions you're right it's great okan up and over the top it's gonna be a lot of strength on yoshihashi
10:52can he kick out of it and the answer is yes you know you really look at united empire chris and
10:59you're going to notice that a majority of the success coming out of the green and black has been
11:04in the tag team division with the iwgp tag team championship prior
11:12we'll see if that tag team dominance maintains tonight in tontaku
11:19she actually got rocked there and here we go
11:21and here we go kozai you know ddt from yoshihashi
11:31see who gets the tag first great okan's got further to go to get to jacob austin young but
11:37yoshihashi hasn't really stirred as of yet
11:40everyone's looking for the tag blue corner red corner here's jacob austin young and here is master
11:48watto
11:48master watto missed out on best of the super junior last year jacob austin young never
12:03competing in a best of the super junior before and is not going to here in this one
12:08and now the campaign to bos j33 begins for jacob austin young and it shows out with a victory over
12:18master watto potentially inbound chris oh if he beats master watto and maybe if he has that little
12:25bit of an ex of aggression puts a little tweak in there oh i know master watto's got another tweak
12:32indeed looks like he might be out of best of the super junior well jacob austin young just beat him
12:37you know i mean you never know what might happen right you're right
12:44as it is jay great okan on the running and jacob to follow up
12:50and it's jacob off the cover here and it is still not going to find the victory
13:02and things well in hind for united empire here
13:21now watto might want that sutinkaku german suplex survey says wanto off
13:32and the heights that master wanto has gotten to
14:02so many ways that wanto can beat you whether it's that but it's for sentimente
14:08but it's the vinderwald submission that versatility has brought into best of the
14:14super juniors before and it could again here in 2025
14:23well you mentioned sutinkaku chris you mentioned osaka we're going to be making a pit stop in osaka
