00:00The second match will be a 20 minute one-on-one match.
00:30The G1 Climax Tournament winner.
00:32For everybody else, well the onus is upon you to create your own path, your own narrative,
00:42and your own road to the end of the year and on and on.
00:46January the 4th and 5th to the Tokyo Dome.
00:49Shota Umino wanted to be in that top spot.
00:53They still in fact, thanks to a different structure this year.
00:57Don't forget that Shota Umino beat Zack Sabre Jr. during the G1 Climax.
01:03And I'm sure will be cheering for ZSJ to take the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
01:10October the 14th at King of Pro-Wrestling.
01:12Because Umino would have a claim.
01:18Certainly Umino and well yeah, let's say as well,
01:21Masipita, Jado, they want to punch their ticket to the Tokyo Dome.
01:27However it takes.
01:29And you can punch your ticket to the Tokyo Dome as well.
01:32International tickets.
01:34You can be a part of the action wherever you are in the world.
01:37NJPW1972.com has the information.
01:42And we want you to be there.
01:45January the 4th, Wrestle Kingdom 19.
01:48January the 5th, Wrestle Dynasty.
01:51And already those tickets are going fast and going hard.
01:57Man, Wrestle Dynasty with not just New Japan Pro-Wrestling,
02:00All Elite Wrestling as well.
02:02CMLL, Ring of Honor started a mega night January the 5th.
02:07And that after the biggest night in the New Japan Pro-Wrestling Canada.
02:13On January the 4th.
02:16A little bit of extra meat and drink action was shown to Umino and Jado.
02:20Umino, at the end of G1, officially invited Jado into Hontai.
02:28Because Jado was always loyal to the Tongans.
02:33Always loyal to the Gorillas of Destiny.
02:37And GOD were now Hontai friendly let's say.
02:41But there was never really an official.
02:45I think Jado can come out and wear the Lion Mark T-shirt.
02:50There was never really sacrosanct.
02:53Shouji Umino extended an official invitation at the end of the G1 Finals.
02:57Jado a little bit quiet about it.
03:00Still mixed emotions I'm sure.
03:04And we await as well.
03:06The Red Corner, Master Heater, Jado Oh!
03:23183cm, 103kg, Rough Neck, Umino Shota!
03:36El Phantasmo who was really going through the ringer through the G1 Climax.
03:43Physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally.
03:47And Evil and House of Torture attempted to prey on that.
03:52Extended that invitation, gave that T-shirt to El Phantasmo.
03:55Thought that they could capitalize on that.
03:58Bring them into the cult that is House of Torture.
04:01And El Phantasmo resisted.
04:04And did the right thing.
04:06That paid a physical price in the process.
04:09We haven't seen El Phantasmo since the G1 Climax Final.
04:13I'm sure when ELP is back they will be held to pay for HOT.
04:17I think they'll be held to pay for HOT here tonight as well.
04:20Kanemaru in the front and yes, Ren Narita behind.
04:26With that damn push-up bar, bar, board, bar.
04:30Easy for me to say.
04:33173cm, 85kg.
04:36Kanemaru Yoshinobu!
04:40Kanemaru drinking on the job.
04:43Just like so many of us do to get through House of Torture matches.
04:50Referee Sakamoto Yuya.
04:54What? That's water.
05:04And this vendetta between Shota Uemura and Ren Narita continuing.
05:11You can really trace it to pretty much one year ago.
05:17At the time both men part of HONTAI or HONTAI adjacent.
05:22Ren Narita was alongside Minoru Suzuki and El Desperado in the short-lived strong style team.
05:29And there was that best of seven series.
05:34Six-man tag team matches.
05:37And they went 3-3-1 over that period in Narita and Umino.
05:42And when they thought, or Narita said, Umino said rather,
05:46the best way that we can move forward is if we both fight together.
05:50And they formed a great tag team during World Tag League.
05:55All that is until Ren Narita stab Shota Umino in the back.
06:01I was never ever interested in being your friend.
06:05Got close to Shota Umino just so that he could deliver that knife in the spine.
06:10And just like that attacking Shota Umino from behind again is Ren Narita.
06:18Ren Narita charged in low there.
06:26Low bridge. Kanemaru into Narita.
06:28Could be a quick one here.
06:30Big slam for Shota Umino.
06:32Here we go.
06:34Lippin sent on and hits the cover.
06:37Gets one out of referee Yuya Sakamoto.
06:40Shota Umino.
06:43I mean generously let's say a mixed G1 Climax effort.
06:48Not the results that he wanted.
06:51And a lot of that down to the hip injury, the lower back injury.
06:55Now he's had that extra time to heal up and get in good form.
07:00And certainly just off the jump here.
07:04Moving well as he delivers the blows.
07:07And let's see if Jado can jump up high.
07:11Oh my goodness.
07:14The two meter vertical leap on Jado there that you saw on full display.
07:19The massive heat up will go to work on the Heelmaster.
07:29Yes sir. Tickets on sale worldwide right now for the Tokyo Dome.
07:33January the 4th Wrestle Kingdom. January the 5th Wrestle Dynasty.
07:38And closer to home if you're in Lowell, Massachusetts that is.
07:42November the 8th.
07:44Fighting spirit unleashed will be coming your way.
07:46Just like Shota Umino comes your way into your living room right there.
07:49Courtesy of Ren Narita.
07:51Tickets on sale right now.
07:53Be a part of our first event in Lowell for the first time since 2019.
07:57Kanemaru takes away the base there.
07:59And Jado in the air coming out of Corcoran Hall like a balloon.
08:08Jado is having his base worked upon.
08:20Ren Narita not up at all.
08:23Enjoys inflicting punishment.
08:31And down again across the leg of Jado.
08:34And Ren Narita will take a special delight glee.
08:40Albeit in the fact that he did not make it in two.
08:43Or whether it was the cover in a two.
08:45A cover with a damn choke as well.
08:47Now Sakamoto sees it.
08:51And again well broke one choke to apply the other.
08:59Narita made the absolute most of the referee's five count there.
09:03Narita will take a special pleasure.
09:05Yes didn't advance out the block stage during G1 Climax 34.
09:09But did perform better in B block than Shota Umino did in A.
09:13And for the most part I think that's driving most of Ren Narita's decisions in professional wrestling still.
09:20Oh well come on Sakamoto.
09:22Terrible refereeing. Terrible officiating.
09:33A lot of people very upset about this incarnation of Ren Narita.
09:38A lot of broken away from the comments of being a Katsuyori Shibata clone.
09:41And needing to be his own man.
09:43And a lot of fans don't like the fact that Ren Narita has decided to be his own man in House of Torture.
09:49And I think a lot of the decisions that he's made have been made with Shota Umino in mind.
09:57When you talk about those generational rivals.
09:59Those people that are tied together forever.
10:01I think every single career decision that Ren Narita makes is making and will continue to make.
10:09It's all about how can I cause the most emotional distress and discomfort.
10:15And anger and pain and frustration to Shota Umino.
10:19I've never seen anyone with such singular hatred in his mind than Ren Narita.
10:25As Kanemaru continues to set to Jado.
10:31And now the tag mate.
10:36And many a way the sins of the son being applied to the father here.
10:40El Phantasmo has offered that shirt.
10:45How evil.
10:46And Dick Togo at the G1 Climax Final.
10:50And El Phantasmo thought it over and thought it over.
10:54What felt like an eternity before he cast that shirt aside.
10:57And said no I won't be a part of this cult.
11:06And Jado firing up there with a thunderous shoulder block.
11:12And if he can and he can and he will.
11:17He makes the tag and here we go.
11:19Shota Umino, Ren Narita, Umino in the first position.
11:21Umino in the first position.
11:26Clears Kanemaru out of the equation.
11:28And now.
11:29Oh no.
11:31Military distraction.
11:32Narita takes charge.
11:33Umino underneath.
11:34Here we go.
11:35Big fall on.
11:38Anything any of us will, any of us will forget.
11:41The near street fight they had right here in Cochrane Hall back in February.
11:47Umino powerbombing Ren Narita through a table down the stairs here.
11:55And still and still and still this vendetta is not over.
11:58It may never be over.
12:00Fishman suplex.
12:01Here we go.
12:02There's the cover.
12:03Gets two and two and a half.
12:06This is our official here.
12:17Shota Umino looking for a theme, looking for something to move ahead.
12:25Ren Narita wants to keep Shota Umino right where he is.
12:31If he's ever the threat.
12:34Shota Umino wanting to or possibly making a step up.
12:37Ren Narita will be right there to grab his heel.
12:40Just like Ren Narita was there to make sure he challenged.
12:45For the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against Jon Moxley.
12:49Before Shota Umino did back in the spring.
12:54As I said, every single thing he does, every decision he makes.
12:59Might be down to what TV he watches, what he has for breakfast in the morning.
13:04He thinks what might piss off Shota Umino the most.
13:08And Shota Umino.
13:09Shota Umino.
13:11Certainly enacting his frustration and anger there.
13:14Big time drop kick.
13:16Jado waves Umino home.
13:20Recovered somewhat is Massive Heater.
13:33Into the bread basket.
13:34Jado changes gears.
13:40What a nice combination there.
13:41Nick bringing Jado with a cover.
13:45Leg hooked. Kanemaru makes the save.
13:47Shota Umino.
13:48Oh no.
13:49Kanemaru had the wherewithal there.
13:52Always such a dangerous combination is Kanemaru and really anybody.
13:56But Shota Umino is driven and determined to take out the trash.
14:02And the damage may be done as Jado is hobbled here.
14:08Umino might be better served to get on the apron and call Jado home for the tag.
14:13Jado prideful and Shota Umino wants his teammate to win.
14:18In the meantime Kanemaru has just sent Umino barreling into the guardrails.
14:23Jado hasn't seen the fact that Kanemaru is on his own two feet.
14:27Jado wants Green Killer.
14:28Narita draws the referee.
14:30Whiskey in the eyes.
14:31God damn it.
14:33And look at this now.
14:34Narita.
14:35That push up board.
14:36Right to the knee.
14:44And now the submission applied and Jado forced a tap.
14:47Damn it.
14:53You can smell sad at ringside.
14:55The alcohol that was sprayed in the eyes of Jado.
14:59Just as I said it.
15:00It came to be.
15:01Kanemaru and absolutely anybody is a lethal tag team combination.
15:18And Shota Umino once again frustrated.
15:22And angered.
15:24By House of Torture.
15:25And that's going to make Ren Narita sleep very comfortably indeed.
15:46That's a bummer for us here.
15:48Anybody anti-House of Torture I hope.
15:52Ohtai will be on the come up.
15:54Over the never six man championships coming up next Saturday in Noboribetsu.
15:58In the meantime House of Torture with a circle by their names on the ledger.
16:01Action continues right here in Corcoran Hall.
