00:00I'm Shinichi Jr's Kazuyo Tani.
00:11I'm Shinichi Jr.
00:15The people here and you are all idiots.
00:19I'll make it easy for you to understand.
00:21Hey, next time, challenge me.
00:27I'm the strongest challenger.
00:30SHO!
00:32Don't be stupid.
00:34Don't be so cocky.
00:37If you refuse, I'll break your belt.
00:40I'm the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.
00:48DOUKI!
00:50SHO!
00:54I'm here.
00:56I'll show you who I am.
01:00You're the worst.
01:02I'll accept your challenge.
01:08I'll beat you again.
01:11I'll show you who I am.
01:22I've always wanted DOUKI to beat me.
01:26Nice to meet you.
01:28You're always the same.
01:30You want to see me again, don't you?
01:35You're too easy.
01:38I'm too strong.
01:40You're the one who's lowering the value of the IWGP title.
01:46If you run away from wrestling, you'll lose.
01:55I didn't run away, so I became a champion?
01:59Shut up, Kakushita.
02:02I've been doing my best all my life.
02:08If you don't shut up, I'll beat you again.
02:11You're wrong.
02:13I'm the one who's going to beat you.
02:20IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
02:24The challenger is SHO vs DOUKI.
02:38Chris, I know we're about to head into the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship matchup,
02:42but it's incredibly difficult to move past what we just saw.
02:46An emotional announcement from Hiroshi Tanahashi.
02:48He saved the date, January 4th, 2026,
02:51will be the professional wrestling retirement for the Ace of the Universe.
02:54But from that into a house of torture beat down from the Goom Squad,
02:59and all of a sudden, another house of torture appears.
03:02SHO, to compete for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title tonight.
03:06Well, I mean, it shows.
03:07Even though they lost again tonight to Tanahashi,
03:11Evil and his goons will not let this night go.
03:16They already ran out a brand new world TV champion,
03:20Evil, saying he wants to put Tanahashi out of the business.
03:23Wait a minute, wait a minute.
03:25What the hell is going on?
03:28Do we have any order in this damn company?
03:31Third verse, same as the first.
03:34In this year alone.
03:37Back in April, Doki was challenger.
03:40SHO was champion.
03:42And thanks to a clap card for a house of torture interference,
03:47Doki lost.
03:50Best of the Super Junior, similar story.
03:55That's not yours.
03:59I mean, you remember what happened back at the press conference days ago, Chris.
04:02SHO stealing the mask of Doki, attacking him from behind.
04:05Yeah, right.
04:06Yesterday afternoon.
04:12And if SHO is here tonight for this matchup,
04:15you know a house of torture not far from behind.
04:17I mean, we just saw them.
04:33No, what is the-
04:34Oh, come on.
04:35Oh, come on, now.
04:36Come on, Asami, do your damn job.
04:39Sidney Shomakatsu now-
04:41Oh my gosh, what the-
04:44Our young lions piled on top of our official here tonight.
04:47We haven't even heard a bell.
04:48We're not even close to it at this point.
04:57No, no, no, no, no.
04:58Oh my God.
05:03The chair just exploded over the head.
05:09Are there any levels that the house will not go to?
05:12Well, maybe this one is a new low to sink to.
05:15No, no, no.
05:17A piled driver on the outside.
05:27This organization has been terrorized by a house of torture for far too long,
05:31and nobody has been able to stop it.
05:45Doki, his pride.
05:49Forcing him to accept this challenge.
05:53No doubt, said Doki, SHO is the worst IWGP Junior Champion in history.
05:59No, no, wait a minute.
06:00Wait, wow, my goodness.
06:02What the-
06:05What is-
06:06What in the hell?
06:09Doki's been unmasked, what is this?
06:15This is a force we've never seen dealt before.
06:19A miss to the eye of SHO.
06:22Doki almost challenging the Kishin spirit of Liger.
06:30And we might need to protect ourselves out here, Doki-
06:33What the-
06:39And we see not just Jushin Liger when he was unmasked,
06:43a similar demonic spirit, El Desperado.
06:46What the-
06:47The same.
06:48Well, that's it, Suplex de la Luna.
06:51But it's not-
06:52Wait a minute, no, bringing it right back up.
06:56This is-
06:57This is otherworldly Suplex de la Luna.
07:01And still Junior Heavyweight Champion.
07:26A spirit unlocked within the past 24 hours
07:30since the removal of that mask at that press conference.
07:33Doki has gone to a level we have never seen before.
07:41Well, some things are best left unseen, I guess.
07:48Well, he's-
07:52As soon as he put that mask on, Walker,
07:54he seemed to snap back into-
07:59Good old Doki again.
08:04Forget talking about-
08:06No, what in the world?
08:08Oh my God, oh my God.
08:14Haven't we seen enough tonight?
08:16What is going on?
08:17Can we not have one good thing?
08:22So put away in 14 seconds at Kanemaru.
08:25He already lost his title shot, Walker.
08:28I mean, you were right, he was back at Kobe, but-
08:31Oh, not again, not again, damn it.
08:39Someone's got to stop this.
08:41Wait a minute, wait a minute.
08:43Wait a minute.
08:44It's-
08:45It can't be.
08:47It is Master Wato.
08:57And welcome back to Master Wato.
09:03I remember Walker was against these two goons
09:07showing Kanemaru with Wato at his knee
09:11back in January.
09:14Uh-oh.
09:31This is the true way to the Grandmaster.
09:38Different look on Wato.
09:40Wato, gone is the blue hair and sunny demeanor.
09:44This young man means some business, I think.
09:48And that business is surrounding the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
10:02Everybody and Doki.
10:05It's been a while.
10:07Oh, and there's history between these two men.
10:11I'm back, I'm healthy.
10:18And I will challenge you for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
10:40Wato.
11:02Walker, four years ago,
11:05a young, timid, scared kid called Master Wato
11:09came out in colorful pants and blue hair
11:12and made his debut
11:14and was beaten from behind by that man Doki.
11:18Now, four years later on,
11:20I think Master Wato has become a man
11:23to challenge the Junior Heavyweight Champion.
11:25But will he become the Grandmaster?
11:28That is an incredible question
11:29and one that we are going to have to wait
11:31to find the answer to.
11:32A little bit of time off and a little bit of reinvention
11:35can do wonders.
11:36Master Wato looks to be in the best shape of his career
11:40and is coming for championship gold.
11:4814 seconds. Doki, defeating Sho.
11:51Love to hear it.
