00:00All action, all the way, during Best of the Super Juniors.
00:05There is nothing like it in the world.
00:09Sadly, we thank you for joining us on NJPW Wild live English coverage all the way.
00:16There really, truly is nothing like being here live.
00:22And you might see moments like this, eight down, two to go.
00:25This is your semi-main event of the night, your semi-main event of the night.
00:30A match that was the main event in San Jose, a battle in the valley earlier on in January.
00:38And it was the main event of Dominion last summer.
00:41The Best of the Super Junior 31 final is now the last B-block match of the night.
00:51Taiji Ishimori versus El Desperado.
01:00And as you heard on the ring call there, Taiji Ishimori is 0-2 in this year's competition thus far.
01:12And as you heard on the ring call there, Taiji Ishimori is 0-2 in this year's competition thus far.
01:19Taiji Ishimori is 0-2 in this year's competition thus far.
01:29Not only has tied here with Ishimori 0-2 and best in the Super Junior 32, he is also 0-2
01:57in the last 365 days against El Desperado. Yes this was the final of this tournament last year,
02:05a tournament that El Desperado beat Taiji Ishimori in the final of that El Desperado won in 2024
02:14and went on to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, lost it to the now injured Doki,
02:21won it back at Tokyo Dome. And Taiji Ishimori was his first defense of that reign that has since
02:30seen him get to V5. El Desperado has seemed unbeatable in 2025, at least until that streak
02:38was broken by Nick Wayne yesterday. Let's see if he can get back on it tonight.
02:43He is a champion of the best of the Super Junior, a champion of the best of the Super Junior,
02:50a champion of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, El Desperado.
03:01El Desperado is looking for singles win number 8. And this year so far…
03:07in this calendar year which would be a tremendous achievement,
03:21put him right in the upper echelon in singles victories this year including,
03:27I'll put him right alongside Hiroshi Tanahashi.
03:30and she's in on the typical arbiter of the crowds, and I think being a little bit generous
03:58towards Taiji Ishimori there. 90-10 Desperado.
04:05And we're off to the races here, up and over goes Ishimori. We're starting out fast on this one,
04:11as we may know each other very, very well indeed.
04:17And I would anticipate Taiji Ishimori wanting to go up to the shoulder of the arm of El Desperado,
04:26El Desperado wanting the knees of Ishimori. That's how so many of their matches have played out.
04:31Ishimori forced into the first error of the night, and an unforced error from El Desperado.
04:38Faded in by Ishimori, perfectly timed kick. And that rung the bell of El Desperado here.
04:53The winning can be contagious. Winning has been contagious for El Desperado thus far this year.
05:08And just like, as we talked about with Nick Wayne earlier on in the evening, when you
05:12want to run it until the wheels fall off, the problem is eventually those wheels are going to fall off.
05:21A lot of yardage covered by El Desperado. A lot of miles added to the clock. A lot of bumps taken off the car.
05:28This year already, you see it. And all of the scars in his back. And all the glass that's still working its way out there.
05:38And the fear, if you're El Desperado, is that once one domino falls, the rest will follow.
05:54Just like all the chairs out here in Corcoran Hall as the fans scatter.
05:59The fear is that after all those contagious wins, one loss could set off a massive slump.
06:08Taiji Ishimori is going to take his time. Yes, El Desperado has time to rest, but Taiji Ishimori has time
06:14and away from the referee's view to remove that corner pad. Put a pin in it, bear it in mind.
06:21See how Taiji Ishimori is standing. Now you don't see it. Now you do. Standing in the blue corner, so that Red Shoe Zuno does not see.
06:35I guarantee you, El Desperado will not think of it. And that even if I have told it to you right now,
06:44you and I both will likely forget that that corner has been exposed. But Ishimori will always remember.
06:55And he is sure to go to that steel buckle later on this evening at some juncture. Ishimori now taking control,
07:03hammer locks the arm. And he uses the fingers to wrench the wrist and take
07:12the IWGP junior heavyweight champion down. All eagle, four fingers in the grasp of Taiji Ishimori.
07:22Oh, watch this. This is dangerous. This is dangerous here.
07:27Yeah, there's the stamp.
07:29Not just the elbow, the wrist as well.
07:40Awkwardly taut
07:43by the boot of Taiji Ishimori. Two times a finalist in this competition
07:52in 2018 and again last year in 2024. But has not won it. And there you go.
08:06Right there. Into that buckle went El Desperado.
08:10It's a target he loves to have. Right there on the left shoulder, the left arm.
08:32And as he wrenches and walks the dog on the junior heavyweight champion.
08:42Every single step, every single movement he makes
08:48is another step closer to the bone lock. Another step closer to submission
08:55for El Desperado.
08:56He never ceases to amaze me that big back of El Desperado absolutely scarred up.
09:14Those external wounds, those scars he'll bear for the rest of his life now being joined by internal injuries.
09:23Well, Desperado.
09:29And that shoulder worked over and we've spoken earlier on this evening.
09:33We speak about it an awful lot. How shoulder injuries, if they do get injured, can take forever to heal.
09:40Really never heal. And when you're the champion and you're working on the champion's schedule,
09:44it's going to be even harder to heal them. Desperado tried to stop going for the ride here.
09:50Tried to block the Irish whip. And instead found his arm being pulled further out of socket.
09:56Desperado! Desperado! Desperado! Desperado!
10:02Desperado! Desperado! Borja будет veneré.
10:10Again the arm being pulled this time!
10:13Oh!
10:16Desperado to hang on and head his side, Su Sixt.
10:18semi-main event you could call this the main event of b-block here tonight it's a rematch
10:27at best of the super junior's 31's final best of the super junior 32 b-block action
10:34el desperado and taiji ishimori
10:38ishimori 0-2 in his first two matches two defeats really cannot afford a third
10:51which would put him down along with kevin knight at the bottom of b-block on zero points
10:58desperado is a champion cannot afford to create more future contenders down the line
11:05oh the grounded dragon screw and now this bay has found his favorite target
11:14and he the base of ishimori
11:19and that stretched muffler hold painful enough if
11:25this bay is able to get those wrists later on turning into numero dos it really would be over
11:32oh no wow desperado he tripped and fell
11:36he tripped and fell what are you gonna do
11:42tripped and fell did a little bit more damage to taiji ishimori on the way
11:47a happy accident
11:48in sneer quotes
11:51that's a big ask on the hurt shoulder to hoist him
12:02yeah if you could tie down hell that left arm
12:06hurting despe badly who settled for a kick to the knee instead now he's gonna summon it up deep breath try it
12:13again ishimori over the top that jams his knee on the landing
12:17oh nicely done there wow crucifix bomb and straight into the bone lock
12:30the right hand ishimori over the top that he is
12:35re-transition into the bone lock el desperado
12:40he's hurting here
12:43mirror yet so far to the ropes now breaks the plane no he doesn't
12:49the camera angle looks like he's broken the plane of the ropes
12:54In fact, he had, said Referech Yuzuno.
13:01Nishimoe forced to relinquish the bone lock for now.
13:07Come on, first boy, honey.
13:20Ten minutes past, 30-minute time limit on all league matches in Best of the Super Juniors.
13:28Oh, well, Desperado pulling a trick out of Ishimori's book.
13:40Oh, but there's no one better. Ishimori wrote the book.
13:45Sajiji Ishimori was reminded right there of the corner buckle he'd exposed earlier on in the matchup.
13:54And said, oh yeah, I do have that. Thanks very much.
14:00Watch this. Big time shoulder breaker.
14:04Oh, but down on the knee, down on the hurt knee.
14:09We've seen this oftentimes quite a few times so far in this tournament.
14:14When guys start to feel themselves, start to feel a little bit overconfident
14:18and wind up re-injuring the body part that's been worked over earlier in the matchup.
14:25But Desperado is feeling it more.
14:28Nishimoe, press position. Here we go. Watch for La Mystica.
14:32Oh, put on the brakes. Rolls through.
14:36No, back again. Yes, lock.
14:40Yes, lock. And Desperado is screaming in pain.
14:56Has worked his way out of the grip, but only for a second.
14:59Oh, what a transition.
15:01Got one wrist.
15:08Gator rolls him through.
15:11All the way up.
15:13That's it.
15:14Nishimoe does roll.
15:16Back the other way.
15:18Oh, the seatbelt.
15:20Yes.
15:21Sensatial back and forth.
15:35In the end, that seatbelt block's the Hoyer River is special.
15:43Added on top, all of the pain in the shoulder.
15:47A little Desperado.
15:49B-Block of the World Series is the winner of B-Block of the World Series.
15:54Desperado has lost his last two straight and turned to Ishimori finally on the board in B-Block.
16:02And maybe, yes, those wheels are falling off for El Desperado.
16:22The realization of frustration, you can read it even on the mask face of the champion,
16:31who's now lost his last two straight.
16:43Ishimori against T-Tan up next, and Ishimori knows that he can beat T-Tan and has done so in the past.
16:51And Ishimori will be in the main event Saturday night.
16:54It will be Desperado vs. Mao.
16:56And that's a difficult match to read for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion,
17:01who might be in a world of trouble as we enter the middle phase of this tournament.
17:07The only main event is still to come.
17:10Francesco Akiuri almost, and Hiromi Takahashi up next.
17:14I'll be back.
17:28I'll be back.
