Steven ConwayHOST
How does that affect New Japan's plans for Lucha Kingdom, Junior Tag League, other events for that matter? We'll talk about that.
Steven ConwayHOST
Plus, we're going to look at Taichi's promoted event in his old middle school up in Hokkaido.
Steven ConwayHOST
We'll look at that show, preview the Junior Heavyweight Tournament, and talk about a few other things that have been on our minds.
Steven ConwayHOST
With Jeremy Finestone, I'm Stephen Conway.
Steven ConwayHOST
We're going to go over that one in a little bit.
Steven ConwayHOST
It's not the most consequential.
Steven ConwayHOST
It's mostly a show done for Taichi's hometown.
Steven ConwayHOST
So...
JohnHOST
There's not that many.
JohnHOST
I was going to do the Taichi one too, but then I just kind of didn't have time to watch it.
JohnHOST
So, it's all right.
VelkejGUEST
No, it's fine.
John CarrollHOST
There's not that many.
John CarrollHOST
I was going to do the Taichi one too, but then I just kind of didn't have time to watch it.
John CarrollHOST
So, it's all right.
Velkej BrachaGUEST
No, it's fine.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
We have the Knockout Brothers taking on Will Ospreay and Callum Newman for the IWGP Tag Team Titles.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
Then we got Gabe Kidd defending the IWGP Global title against Taichi.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
And then we have a non-title three-way match.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
Yota Tsuji versus Bolton Oleg versus Kenny Omega.
Josh SmithHOST
But it is what it is.
Josh SmithHOST
I know we got some questions here.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
Yeah, so Millie Quintana says, since it's very likely the IWGP Global Championship is headlining Power Struggle, how much opium are we all putting in to a Taichi victory on a scale of 100 to 1,000?
Josh SmithHOST
Yeah, and the question from Rambone Slam Pig is also essentially right in the same field.
Josh SmithHOST
Oh man.
Josh SmithHOST
But yeah, we got a great show to jump into so much going on, you know, the Tai Chi produce everyone's favorite tournament of the year, the super junior
Jeremy DonovanHOST
tag league.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
Let's go, you know, not
Jeremy DonovanHOST
And, yeah, maybe we can get his hot takes on World Tag League.
Josh SmithHOST
Well, let's without any further ado, let's let's jump into it.
Josh SmithHOST
And Jeremy, I do got to tell you, I was able to squeeze in a little Tai Chi action, you know, over the course of today.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
All right.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
yeah
EricHOST
guess who I'm betting on he's always he's wrestling Tai Chi they're finally gonna wrestle they've been dude Gabe Kidd has been in his face for months as he's been doing commentary talking shit mad shit dude Gabe Kidd's awesome
GatorHOST
you think he holds the AEW world title at some point
EricHOST
not to get off track of our match of the week we kind of just flew off the rails here
DaveHOST
W- so what are they doing there again with Gabe?
JoshHOST
Gabe's got Taichi in a power struggle with Gabe Yu here at Wrestle Kingdom.
DaveHOST
They're gonna do Gabe Yu, yeah?
JoshHOST
I think Yu's taken Shota, [laughs] but I think poor Shota Umino-
DaveHOST
Oh, yeah, like he beats Taichi and YuYu comes out and...
DaveHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
DaveHOST
Okay.
6 MINS LATER
JoshHOST
I didn't get what I wanted.
Gregg KannerHOST
But, uh, um, yeah, I'm going to, uh, eventually check s- check out some of that stuff and, and follow it a little bit more because, uh, you know, a bunch of the, the guys are, uh, gonna be involved.
Joel DehnelHOST
Yeah, Gabe Kidd still holds onto that IWGP Global Heavyweight title, so he is bound to be, uh, so long as he, uh, defeats Taichi, which I, I think everybody expects him to at Power Struggle, he'll be going into the Tokyo Dome holding one of their major championships.
Joel DehnelHOST
So, I mean, he's, he's obviously presented as one of the big players in New Japan, whereas his AEW presentation is he's been more of a background person.
Joel DehnelHOST
You know, I mean, he's kind of like a, he's back to being a hired gun with the Death Riders and moved away from the Dogs, um, which, you know, I, I think is the right decision since the Dogs have been presented as just, you know, kind of undercard tag team.
BrettHOST
... because-
DJHOST
Taichi says that if he wins, Gabe Kid can never step foot in New Japan ever again?
BrettHOST
Yeah.
DJHOST
I know.
SP3HOST
But anyway, then we had tag team action, trios action.
SP3HOST
El Desperado, Taichi, and Yuya Uemura facing the House of Torture, Sanada, Yoshinobu Katamaru, and Yujiro Takahashi.
SP3HOST
Sanada and Uemura started things off.
SP3HOST
They were working each other's arms and shoulders off.
53 MINS LATER
SP3HOST
I thought it was a good choice with Tai Chi because it plays into what I think is going to happen for WrestleKingdom.
SP3HOST
Who was the only guy that beat Gabe Kidd, that was the only New Japan homegrown talent, Japanese talent that beat Kidd in the G1? It was Yuya Uemura.
SP3HOST
Who is Taichi's understudy? Who is Taichi's protege? Yuya Uemura.
SP3HOST
So Kidd versus Taichi plays into what I think we're getting at Wrestle Kingdom.
