00:00The last one is the Lema Vsevskiu-seviki-jai.
00:03The Lema Vsevskiu-seviki-jai, 60 minutes, one time game.
00:30L, B, someone can't hear it!
00:37E, L, B,
00:45A, L, B, someone can't hear it!
00:52The NJPW World Television Champion, El Phantasmo, in the building tonight in Ontario, California.
01:11LaVada, no amount of fur coats and light-up glasses, as incredible as they are, are going to prepare you for the war that is set to come.
01:20But it is LP that has been in this battle, not just once, but twice over.
01:24Against, for my money, the greatest pro wrestler in the world.
01:28It all skates to Kesta. It's the never-open weight title, on the line, here tonight.
01:33A, L, B.
01:46You mentioned earlier how that TV Championship match ended at the time limit, which for those title matches is 15 minutes.
01:58However, for the never-open weight championship, it's a 60-minute time limit.
02:03They're, they're not going to be constricted and constrained by just that 15 minutes.
02:09This could go up to an hour.
02:11And it will be an absolutely cruel battle, for sure.
02:15Let's go here, sir.
02:16Here.
02:18How'd you go?
02:27How'd you go?
02:28Wait, there's a bunch.
02:30Go, Oh!
02:32Oh!
02:33In protect.
02:34Yeah!
02:35Thears are pretty...
03:12Thank you, Rocky Romero, and of course, the NJPW's best ever openweight champion, it is Kandosuke Sikesha, Rocky Romero, accompanying Kandosuke Sikesha to the ringside ever since last time we were live on NJPW World Pay-Per-View here in the United States.
03:30Rocky Romero has shifted allegiances and is as far and away from a fantastical as Rocky can get with the Don Callis family and right next to the best pro wrestler in the world, Kandosuke Sikesha.
03:42Yeah, I had been wondering if Rocky Romero, and of course, is the NJPW World Pay-Per-View.
03:49Kandosuke Sikesha here tonight.
03:52IKETAKESHITA!
03:54IKETAKESHITA!
03:56The company Dakeshita here today
03:58has a whole new life
04:00and I know the questions
04:02as I think it's like we said
04:04not only is Rocky
04:06alive with Dakeshita through the
04:08godfellas family but he also has this
04:10ongoing hostility
04:12with El Phantasma
04:18Isn't it a slight conflict
04:20of interest to be vice president
04:22of New Japan of America in a line with
04:24a man as vile as Don Callis
04:26on the side of AEW. I think Rocky's
04:28playing both lines here
04:30Rocky Romero did not
04:32get to where he is in life
04:34by not making sure that
04:36he stays one step ahead of everyone
04:38if there's a plan, Rocky's
04:40on top of it. We can't understand
04:42what's going on inside that brain
04:44IKETAKESHITA!
04:50And while it is El Phantasma that reigns
04:52as world television champion, it is
04:54Konosuke Takechita that walks into
04:56day 126
04:58and attempt number 6
05:00at defending that never open weight gold
05:02already set the never open weight
05:04title defense record back at
05:06Sakura Genesis against Rioja Iowa
05:08tonight an opportunity to further
05:10the number
05:12IKETAKESHITA
05:14able to set that record for
05:16defenses while also
05:18traveling around the world
05:20you know we see him every week
05:22with AEW for conferences
05:24with New Japan I mean his schedule
05:26is beyond virtually anyone else in pro wrestling
05:30and he continues to defend that title
05:34it is just incredible
05:36you know that was something at one point in his career
05:38El Phantasmo heavily prided himself on
05:40as well to catch it up very quickly
05:42one of that blue thunder El Phantasmo
05:44out and we're getting right into the litty gritty
05:46of it here, no 15 minute time limit
05:48here tonight
05:50I'd like to imagine that Rocky Romero could
06:10keep his hands off of El Phantasmo
06:12keep his mouth out of the eyes of the official referee
06:16gold shoes tonight
06:18but Rocky Romero just plays
06:20by a different set of rules than anyone else around here
06:22he gets to do so as VP of New Japan
06:24of America
06:26oh
06:34oh
06:36slipped across the jaw
06:38I mean
06:40beta you look at the list of men that
06:42Takeshita has defeated
06:44for this never open weight title
06:46from Shingo Takagi
06:48back at Wrestle Kingdom 19
06:50off the minimum
06:52and Fantasmo hitting classic LP tonight
06:54oh and Takeshita
06:56one step ahead of it on the play
06:58wow
07:08Takeshita not afraid to take high risks
07:10up and over
07:12up and over
07:14Takeshita Korgiru
07:16to the outside
07:20Takeshita has run through Tomohiroishi

07:28against Angel de Oro
07:30most recently in Oya
07:32that is a list of heavy hitters
07:34of junior heavyweights of technicians
07:36and none of them have been able to put down Takeshita
07:38yeah Takeshita can take his
07:40to take on
07:42all challengers

08:24just so good at what he does
08:26if you fight with him in the stand
08:28he'll knock you sideways
08:30if you want to grapple with him on the ground
08:32then hour two
08:34can also get Takeshita in that realm as well
08:36and that comes with both
08:38El Fantasmo and can also get Takeshita
08:40having amateur wrestling backgrounds
08:42back up in the corner
08:44but Takeshita is right there
08:46it was
08:50some people's favorite match

11:59oh no but it is not paying off for the Kester right now
12:02canadian hammer with the cover
12:05no
12:16Fantasmo has seen every decision
12:18against Konosuke and Keshta
12:21all except the win
12:25LP sudden death caught by Keshta
12:28the better of the exchange Rocky
12:45the never openweight champion
12:48the Keshta went down hard
12:50this gives Fantasmo some time to try to recover himself
12:58make a difference
12:59the probably

13:47They both go down.
13:54Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
14:24To catch the throws has to feel like five for El Fantasma.
14:30Oh, now up on the top rope.
14:33What is, well, what is Takeshita thinking here?
14:38Well, Takeshita wanted to drive LP down.
14:46Oh, LP, LP.
14:49You see Rocky Romero frantic at the back there.
14:51What's here or two for this position?
14:55I thought Takeshita fought his way out, but now he got five.
14:58Oh, oh, five, oh, driver.
15:04Junior keeping it 10 minutes of past 10 minutes.
15:13Come on, Takeshita.

15:23Get up there.
15:24Come on, Takeshita.
15:25Come on, Takeshita.
15:27Breathe in.
15:31Now, what's El Fantasma thinking here?
15:34Yeah, eight.
15:37Oh, well, this isn't good.
15:38The official was starting to count, and Fantasma shook his head and said no.
15:44I mean, he's got something else in mind.
15:48There's a running table.
15:50Still under carriage here.
15:52For El Fantasma.
15:55The referee called shoes tonight.
15:56Trying to do something.
15:57Trying to call this one in, but.
16:03Oh, wait a minute, Veda.
16:05This is.
16:05I need a table.
16:07Well, Fantasma says he needs this table, but.
16:10It's just like what we saw back in Corican Hall.
16:17Oh.
16:21This is right in front of us, too.
16:23Fantasma wants revenge from Corican Hall here tonight.
16:32Oh, just like in Corican.
16:35Takeshita with control.
16:36No, no, no, no, no, no.
16:40The Blue Thunderbomb threw this table.
16:44Oh, Fantasma wants to find safety.
16:46And safety, not for long.
16:58Takeshita able to save himself.
17:00No, no, no, no.
17:02No, no, no, no.
17:04No, no, no, no.
17:06It's going to take some repositioning to find the mark.
17:13Oh, now what is.
17:15He's.
17:16Takeshita's pulling.
17:20Takeshita has something in mind here, and.
17:22It's going to take some repositioning to find the mark, but.
17:27LP starting to.
17:29Get back in control here, it looks like.
17:31Oh, this is.
17:33Oh, no, no, no, no.
17:34Fantasma.
17:34Oh, it's a catch.
17:38Off the top.
17:44Turned inside out.
17:46The cover.
17:48No.
17:55We nearly thought we saw a sixth defense for it to catch up tonight.
18:00Oh, it's Hasmo now has something in mind of his own.
18:09And now it's back and forth, back and forth.
18:12To catch up.
18:14To Stone.
18:17Oh.
18:19And it's not over.
18:21Not yet.
18:23It's a Dinashe driver.
18:27Wow.
18:30Come on, Kevin.
18:43To catch up.
18:46Reaching.
18:48Reaching out for the hair.
18:51Dragging.
18:52LP back up.
18:54Might be thinking raging fire here.
18:56Wait.
18:57Could be.
18:57No.
18:58No, no, no, no, no.
18:59And now, from Chicago with Tanahashi, Ontario.
19:06Son of death.
19:11We can very well see it.
19:13We can see a new never-open-weight champion.
19:16Whoa.
19:17Whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:18Wait a minute.
19:19Okay.
19:20He tore Dinashe.
19:22Bastard driver.
19:23Oh, my God.
19:26How is Van Tassel still doing this?
19:30How is he still breathing in there?
19:32And Chakestas up in one.
19:36For the fire.
19:38For the soul.
19:39No.
19:40The soul knocked out of El Van Tassel.
19:43He's making it.
19:44He's making it.
19:47Holy God.
19:48It was Joel and trying to put it back into position.
19:51Oh.
19:51Fantastico.
20:00Poison run up.
20:05Oh.
20:07That's it.
20:08The cup.
20:09These two men eat, sleep, and breathe.
20:20Never-open-weight.
20:23Two in a row.
20:25Takeshita down again.
20:26I mean, what could even put him down?
20:28Could it be?
20:29CR2.
20:30Imbound.
20:31Got it.
20:31Canadian Revolution.
20:32Let's not forget him off the table.
20:34In the cover for LP.
20:36Oh.
20:36Oh.
20:37Oh.
20:37Oh.
20:37Oh.
20:37Oh.
20:38Oh.
20:39You can see Rocky Romero's heart jumping out of his chest right now, Vena.
20:48Just like all these fans here tonight in Ontario, California.
20:53This is awesome.
20:56This is awesome.
20:59Making the climb.
21:01Got the cross.
21:02A good set up for this to see a new champion.
21:09Thunder Kiss 86 time.
21:12One, two, yeah.
21:14Oh.
21:15Damn it.
21:16This is one thing.
21:19This is why you need Rocky Romero at ringside.
21:22You don't need Rocky Romero.
21:23You don't need Rocky Romero.
21:23You don't need Rocky Romero.
21:23No one ever.
21:24No one ever.
21:24No one ever.
21:25No one ever.
21:25No one ever.
21:26No one ever needs Rocky Romero again.
21:28That's the title.
21:31He's just explaining the situation.
21:34Oh, Rocky Romero.
21:35This is the true cancer of Phantasmus has been dealing with.
21:47Oh.
21:50Oh, no.
21:51Yeah, Rocky's going to get what's coming to him.
21:55A power bump through the table.
21:57Oh, no, no, no.
22:23And now it's over.
22:43Ready, shake, fire.
22:47One, two, three.
22:48That's it.
22:53Defense, six.
23:07Another successful defense of the never-own-a-way champion.
23:12Champions against it continues to make the record.
23:14The number of the hour for Kodalski to catch the may be defense of ourselves.
23:34So the focus here tonight for all they've done is the record of 0, 1, and 2.
23:42And this is it, because keep in mind all this match, even came about when we were at Chicago
24:00for Wiggy City Ryan.
24:02Jakeshin was extremely disrespectful to LP after that match against Tanahashi.
24:07And now to catch the extent of the hand of respect, LP earned that here tonight.
24:14And Al Fantasmo has been earning it.
24:16And we will continue to all across social media in the viewing world as a J.P.W. World
24:21television champion.
24:22Still two more championship matches to come here at Resurgence, our big doubling event.
24:51And it is the first of two coming up next on the marquee.
24:55And it's coming up now.
