00:00The third match will be a one-on-one 20-minute tag match.
00:31As we all in Japan got used to the first G1 in a long time.
00:38Without Ishii out of the lineup.
00:41Fans in all elite wrestling.
00:45Got to see the Stone Pit Bull do his thing, but now he is back home.
00:53But still with his eyes on international prizes.
00:57Ishii and Hiroshi Tanahashi won a number one contenders match in Washington, D.C.
01:03Oh, look at Toma.
01:07As we see Ishii head his way to the ring.
01:10Ishii and Hiroshi Tanahashi became number one contenders in the Strong Oak Boy Tag Team Championship.
01:28Height 170cm, 100kg.
01:32Ishii Tomohiro!
01:58I think for this combination, another Strong Oak Boy champion Gabe Kidd of the singles variety.
02:08And Jake Lee.
02:10Your eyes might be on the other set of tag goals.
02:15As Shane and Mikey hold, that being the IWGP Tag Team Championship.
02:19Shane and Mikey not on the tour, at least at the time being.
02:25And both men have made it very, very clear.
02:28Jake Lee certainly did when he put pen to paper on his New Japan contract.
02:33That he and Gabe were looking for IWGP Tag Team Championship gold.
02:42But in Shane and Mikey's absence,
02:44they want to create some destruction.
02:47And we're going to get to it right here, right now.
02:51Gabe and Ishii.
02:53Jake Lee and Homma.
02:56And Mad Bastards Tag Team.
03:00All came to pass right here in Corcoran Hall when Gabe and Jake Lee fought all over the place during their G1 Climax matchup.
03:09Ishii exploding off the guard rails.
03:13And they're going right at him right in front of him.
03:23And Gabe's body racked against the steel.
03:26Jake Lee taking Tomoaki Homma west.
03:33The warning going up to stay clear.
03:36The warning going up to stay clear.
03:42Homma with his hardcore pass from Jake, great delight.
03:47And welcome Jake Lee as an official member of the New Japan roster.
03:54East met west there.
03:56And meanwhile, on the east side of the building, it's Ishii and it's Gabe.
04:06Gabe beating, fighting rather at the stone pit ball.
04:15Jake Lee and Tomoaki Homma.
04:22And Homma's wheelhouse out on the floor though.
04:26Homma can be a hardcore fighter.
04:30In the meantime, we're getting hardcore up in the stands.
04:33Gabe Kidd and Ishii.
04:36This is out of control here, maybe over before we even get started.
04:53Not trying to keep my head on a swivel.
04:57Tomoaki Homma taking charge.
05:00Oh my goodness, the number of bloody wars Homma has been.
05:05In this building.
05:08Jake's not getting the drop on Homma that he thinks he is.
05:20Jake and Homma now coming up behind instead.
05:23At least getting vaguely near the ring are Ishii and Gabe at least.
05:26And now for the first time.
05:29Ishii thrown inside, Gabe's inside.
05:33And finally.
05:35Oh, Shigekin Sasato has run the bell.
05:50It's not getting any easier for Ishii.
05:54Oh, come on now.
05:57Difficult lack of respect for Gabe Kidd.
06:02Obviously showed no respect for these people here in Gargoyle Hall.
06:06Just like he had no respect for the people in Washington D.C.
06:10Capital Collision.
06:13Racked up his second defense of the Strong Openweight Championship.
06:16Defeated Leo Rush.
06:18In front of Leo's home crowd.
06:21A couple of months ago, defeated Ultimo Guerrero.
06:24Defeated Ultimo Guerrero.
06:26In what is de facto Ultimo Guerrero's home turf.
06:31The Fantastica Mania.
06:34In San Jose.
06:36And Gabe Kidd enjoys being in hostile environments.
06:39None more hostile than being in the corner with a rabbit stone pitbull
06:45pounding away on you.
06:47And the chops and the jabs and the chops and the jabs.
06:50A tenured combination in the corner.
06:55Referee wanting none of it.
06:59Watch out here against Sato after what happened at the start of this matchup.
07:05Could be a situation when Sato calls this one early.
07:10At his discretion of course.
07:12Ishii charges in.
07:17Ooh.
07:19And now a tenured light combination from Gabe Kidd.
07:26And a choke with a boot.
07:45And still.
07:47Hardly a scientific contest.
07:49There's not much scientific thought going through the mind of Tomoya Ishii right now.
07:53Nor many thoughts at all.
07:55I think that was lights out with that swap from Gabe Kidd.
07:59Ishii now finding his feet.
08:00Gabe.
08:01Big boot.
08:02Shot off.
08:03Massive.
08:04Right forearm shiver.
08:07Has not been slowed with a summer off.
08:09Wasn't a summer off at all.
08:10But Gabe Kidd delivers a big brain buster and Ishii's on his feet.
08:17Ooh.
08:19Huge suplex here.
08:25Now both men down.
08:26But Jake Lee is nearer to Gabe in the War Dogs corner than Ishii is to Homma.
08:40Tag made both sides.
08:42Jake swung with that boot.
08:44Gabe to Homma.
08:46Underneath there are a few men more prideful rather than Tomoyaki Homma.
08:55But a sheer stubbornness.
08:57He's still walking, let alone wrestling.
09:01He's near paralyzed.
09:02Made a miraculous recovery.
09:05Even though he doesn't move like he used to.
09:08He hits just as hard.
09:10And is just as strong.
09:12Look at that.
09:13Massive suplex there.
09:19And here we go.
09:20Corcoran Hall about to get happy.
09:22Goal.
09:23Kiss it.
09:26The smaller version of.
09:35Let's see if the rocket blasts off.
09:37And it does.
09:38Oh.
09:39But it explodes on the launch pad.
09:42Jake Lee.
09:43Squatting Homma aside.
09:45And now.
09:47A heavy brain buster to Tomoyaki Homma.
09:50Kabo.
09:51Lackadaisical.
09:53Arrogant.
09:54Disrespectful.
09:56Jake Lee.
09:57Fitting right at home with the War Dogs.
10:01Albeit much more cognitive than Gabe Kidd is.
10:08A smart bastard.
10:12As he puts it.
10:15This combination with Jake Lee and Gabe Kidd.
10:20Might be the most dangerous in professional wrestling.
10:23This combination of brains and brawn.
10:28And smarts and psychopathy.
10:32Could be big danger for all the other tag teams.
10:35And that was big danger for Tomoyaki Homma.
10:37Right down on the back of his head.
10:39Cover there.
10:41Ishii just about making the save.
10:44There was no kick out from Tomoyaki Homma.
10:47I don't think there would be.
10:49That was a hard impact for Homma.
10:53And now Gabe and Jake Lee are cooking up.
11:01So even more sick torture.
11:04Homma's already dead weight for crying out loud.
11:07Oh no he's not.
11:11He'll keep swinging.
11:14There's still breath in his body.
11:27Impacts on both sides there.
11:30And well that might be it.
11:32That roundhouse kick to the dome.
11:35And still Homma.
11:38That stubbornness from Tomoyaki Homma.
11:41Seeing the left shoulder come up.
11:45And Homma trying to pull himself up and find solace in the corner.
11:51He might find solace in sweet oblivion.
11:54Jake Lee gonna close the gap.
11:56He's taken aim.
11:57Well pulled the trigger.
11:58Face break shot.
12:02Homma.
12:03Homma.
12:06And that is Wahe.
12:08Come on now.
12:12This was done and dusted with the FBS.
12:23And instead.
12:26Again.
12:27Oh straight down right in front of Tomoyaki Ishii.
12:30Ishii's own move to pin Tomoyaki Homma.
12:34And there's the three.
12:38And you look to Ishii as he makes the cover himself.
12:43A vertical drop brain buster.
12:46Jake Lee had the match won.
12:51And he took sick pleasure in putting Homma away using his tag team partner's finisher.
13:01Left, left, left, left, left, left.
13:05Left, left, left, left, left, left.
13:13Oh Lemon Sour is a plenty.
13:17For the Sourest tag team in professional wrestling perhaps the most dangerous.
13:25Jake Lee wants a little bit of play time.
13:28Getting in the face of Ishii and Gabe from behind, it's a 2-on-1 situation.
13:33Homma has already been carried away, unconscious, and now Ishii falling prey to the Mad Bastards here.
13:44The dogs giving Stone Pit Bull a mauling.
13:58Up in the best of weeks for Tomohiro Ishii.
14:12After a painful farewell from the States.
14:19Welcome back, Gabe, to the beatdown from the Mad Bastards.
14:29Ishii enjoys the fight.
14:34There'll be more to come.
14:36It might just be a matter of time before we're talking about Gabe Kidd and Jake Lee
15:04as the IWGP Tag Team Champions.
15:25Alright, I didn't hear what Gabe said, but I'm going to apologise on his behalf anyway.
15:34Thanks for watching.
