Transcript

00:00Well, tell us how we got here Walker cuz I think you were directly involved

00:08in how this became a Ryan Rigoca match in the first place.

00:11Yeah, well, good thing I've been studying up on my Nihongo, huh?

00:14Because Sonata hitting ringside just a few nights ago,

00:19meeting a translator, Joel Maloney said,

00:22do you agree to know DQ rules or

00:24else I'm gonna break this acoustic guitar over your friend's head.

00:27And Sonata's saying, well, I don't care about Kanemaru,

00:30but please don't break my guitar.

00:32That's not as stoic as ever.

00:36What's this all about?

00:41Whoa.

00:47No, wait a second.

00:51Wait a minute.

00:52If that's Sonata.

00:55And that other guy, Sonata, then who's driving this bus?

01:00What the hell is going on here?

01:06There you see in the hand, the acoustic guitar, one of many,

01:11Sonata has had on stock file.

01:14And a majority of that stock, Chris Charlton, has been driven straight through the head

01:18of Drill Maloney, even right here in Ryogoku, the last time we were out in this building,

01:23back for Sakura Genesis in April, when Sonata betrayed the War Dogs and turned his back on Maloney and the crew.

01:32And now, well, it's almost been sort of an identity crisis for Sonata ever since that point.

01:37What does Sonata look like in Hells of Torture?

01:40The fashionista certainly hitting Ryogoku Sumo Hall tonight with that intention, but

01:45I'm still trying to figure out who the hell, who the hell was that at ringside?

01:49I think Sonata's dragging someone shopping with him, as well as that guitar.

01:53Well, I'm not even sure who the real Sonata is.

01:59Yeah, I'm really struggling to figure this one out.

02:05Well, it all came down the other night in Saitama Walker, and you were right there.

02:10Drill Maloney said, make this in no DQ, no count-out match, or I'll smash this guitar

02:15as he'd taken off the Sonata over Yoshinoba Kanemaru's head.

02:18Sonata, not particularly concerned with Kanemaru, but definitely concerned over his guitar.

02:23Yeah, roundabout telling me to translate to Drill Maloney live in the arena on the evening.

02:29That guitar costs more than you make in a year.

02:34I don't think Maloney's here to deal with numbers tonight.

02:37Sonata!

02:41No, I don't think Drill Maloney's here to draw time, so I think he's here to draw blood.

02:45What the hell happened to that other Sonata?

02:48Yeah, I'm not understanding here.

02:50I mean, that was Sonata.

02:54I mean, it looked just like- No, I think this is Sonata, Chris.

02:58Short.

02:59I'm gonna hit that to the right.

03:08I'm gonna hit that to the right.

03:11That time is that time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time.

03:16I'm 99% certain that this is Sonata.

03:19Yeah, that's definitely Sonata.

03:21But we are 100% on the spot.

03:25And Drill Maloney is the man to soon hit ringside.

03:28I don't know who that extra was.

03:30A lot of people are saying you could be a stand-in for Aaron Wolf if he's down one day.

03:35Enough Gaga, Drill Maloney all business here.

03:42Yeah, Street Fight attire here tonight.

03:45We're gonna try and keep it the best we can inside Ryogoku's small hole.

03:49And we're up among the people.

03:51I think they might be coming up this way.

03:5444 caliber, junior turned heavyweight, Drill Maloney.

04:00And we gotta get this belt sounded sooner rather than later.

04:02It is the Riot and Ryogoku matchup.

04:04No disqualifications, no count outs.

04:07And this all being board press off the back of Sonata,

04:10trying to run in every single encounter that Maloney and Sonata have had

04:15leading up to this series date.

04:17Yeah, you're right, you see the rules there, right?

04:20And Ryogoku, very, very simple.

04:21There aren't really any rules.

04:22No DQs, no count outs.

04:24All right, Sonata's gonna fall.

04:26Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay.

04:27All right, Abby.

04:30And Sonata, that fork in hand.

04:33And Joel Maloney gonna try and disarm and engage himself here.

04:36That blonde is gonna be covered here tonight.

04:42If Maloney has his way, I mean, Chris, let's be honest here.

04:45New Japan Pro Wrestling, no strangers to riots in Ryogoku's dual hall.

04:49Wow, and Drill Maloney, no stranger to this sort of environment

04:52has been fighting on the streets his entire life.

04:55Sonata, definitely a stranger to this environment.

04:58You know what I mean?

04:59He always, we always used to know him back in the old days in LIJ

05:02as the quintessential classical pro wrestler.

05:05When Hiroshi Tanahashi, you know, wrestled Kenta for the U.S.

05:09Championship in a street fight, you know, it was a Pyrrhic victory.

05:12He wanted to cleanse the palate.

05:13But he chose Sonata as his challenger because he wanted that classical style.

05:17This, anything, nothing could be further removed.

05:20No, no, no, no.

05:22Maloney, that steel chair in hand.

05:24Sonata's already, he's already busted.

05:26Yeah, this isn't good.

05:29This is exactly what Joel Maloney wanted, Chris.

05:31And we've been saying it leading all the way up to this date and time.

05:34I don't think it's about getting the win tonight for Joel Maloney.

05:37Maloney wants to find that acoustic guitar right at ringside.

05:40There you see it on your screen and bust it over Sonata's head.

05:43If Driller Maloney gets the win without breaking that guitar,

05:47then he won't be happy.

05:49Conversely, I mean, if he loses the match, but he smashes that guitar,

05:53Driller Maloney will still be, he'll find something to celebrate about tonight.

05:57And not a lot of no disqualification experience for Sonata.

06:02He's won a couple matches in 2013 for All Japan Gold against Rhea New 3rd.

06:07You have to think back to the Dog Palette still cage match.

06:10Welcome back in May of this year.

06:11Yeah, you're right about that.

06:14My goodness, Driller Maloney.

06:17We're in a way, ringside seat of humanity scattering here, New Goku.

06:21Yeah, I don't think Driller Maloney cares much one way or another,

06:24whether New Japan Pro Wrestling gets banned from Rhea Goku for another few years.

06:28Again, yeah.

06:30Well, good luck.

06:31It might happen soon at this rate.

06:33All right, we gotta be careful here.

06:34Yeah, we gotta make sure our fans are kept safe.

06:37And what the hell is Maloney doing here?

06:40That's the question we've been asking for a long time about this man.

06:42Well, Driller Maloney has been, you know,

06:44he's wearing that T-shirt all during this tour, RIP Sonata,

06:48with that date of death being October the 13th, 2025.

06:52You know, I mean, I think quite frankly,

06:54Maloney is finding a burial spot for Sonata right here.

06:58Oh, no.

07:06Well, Driller Maloney now, not just one, but two wooden folding tables

07:11from that steel frame as well in the undercarriage,

07:13and we know exactly where he's going with them.

07:15Well, there's the old myth of Japanese tables, Walker.

07:22Well, I'm saying myth.

07:23It's a very, very accurate statement.

07:25Nothing like tables that are made in Japan.

07:29Good old Japanese construction as solid as you can imagine.

07:34Well, Maloney's not exactly taking up construction science

07:37in his spare time here.

07:38You can see he's been hit in the gym.

07:40He's been eating cleaner than ever.

07:42Come on, I need it.

07:43Driller Maloney, I mean,

07:44it's all been in preparation for this.

07:46It's all been in preparation for the blood to be shed.

07:48You're right, Rio,

07:49because Maloney has had an incredible 2025.

07:52That transition to heavyweight, great success.

07:54Beat Shingo Takagi back in February.

07:56Incredible G1.

07:57Whoa, whoa, whoa.

07:58Means nothing if he can't beat Sonata.

07:59No, no, no.

08:01And Sonata slipping right over the top here.

08:03Might be blinded by his own mask.

08:04Wait, wait, wait.

08:05Oh!

08:08Sonata did everything he could to try and deflect the damage.

08:12And still, it wasn't enough.

08:19And this is a matchup that we talked about

08:20as soon as the rules were confirmed, Chris.

08:22We were live there in Takoto Zawa.

08:24I was, at least, saying live on air.

08:26Well, this is something that you'd think

08:28with Driller Maloney's intensity would favor him.

08:30But right now, you also have to think about the presence

08:33somewhere in this building of House of Torture.

08:35Yeah, you're absolutely right.

08:36I mean, hopefully, the rest of the War Dogs

08:39are cognizant of that as well.

08:42Maloney has certainly said he expects there to be interferences.

08:46Bring it on.

08:47Bring as many people as you want.

08:48Yeah.

08:49Maloney wants to be the one-man record of Sonata.

08:53That's one man with the boot up in Maloney.

08:55No, look out, look out.

08:56Watch it, watch it.

08:57Watch it.

08:59There is no give to those wooden tables.

09:03The only deformable structure Walker in that exchange was the spine of Driller Maloney.

09:08I mean, landings like that have not only shortened but ended careers before.

09:20Absolutely, absolutely.

09:21I always think back to Shawn Michaels situation back in the day.

09:27That was a very similar spell.

09:32Sonata now.

09:33Yeah, really wants something.

09:35And it's something so simple, but the give certainly giving for Driller Maloney.

09:43Yeah, it's very rare, Chris, you've been seeing Driller Maloney's career for a long time,

09:47back to his dates, on the English independent scenes.

09:50It's rare you hear his cries of agony from Driller.

09:53Always Driller Maloney, you know what I mean?

09:55We say from junior heavyweight in a new Japan sense,

09:58junior heavyweight to a heavyweight competition.

10:00Driller Maloney started his career as a heavyweight, slimmed down to junior

10:05so he could be the most dominant junior in that division.

10:08And now bulking back up, always Maloney,

10:12the most dominant fighter in any fight.

10:15Maybe not this one, though.

10:16Now, maybe Sonata cover here, lateral only into two.

10:21And as much as Sonata might be reeling a little bit from a lack of blood,

10:25that should be inside of his skull.

10:27Driller Maloney, that lower spine, certainly feeling the damage.

10:31Yeah, I think all the blood coming out of Sonata external,

10:34I think there has to be a lot of internal bleeding on the part of Maloney right now.

10:39Yeah, for so long, we were just still, it's so hard to get an insight into the mind of Sonata,

10:53and just what he's thinking never says it.

10:55You know what I mean?

10:56You can only go by his actions.

10:58So I think the one solid, the one defining point is how much he enjoys wailing on Triller Maloney.

11:05Oh!

11:06Oh!

11:07Well, that was absolutely intentional.

11:11Doesn't even have to pretend nowadays.

11:13No disqualifications here tonight.

11:15Come on, come on, come on.

11:18Sonata will try and convince himself that he's rightful, that he's righteous.

11:22But still, Maloney with the hops, beautiful.

11:25Yeah, that's beautiful indeed.

11:26Maloney now, look at this.

11:30Hasn't missed a step.

11:32That sliding drop kick to the outside.

11:34He's still trying to power through.

11:38I think clutching at that kidney area.

11:42This has been a long time coming since November of last year.

11:49Nearly one year to the day.

11:51Jerome Maloney has wanted this one-on-one with Sonata.

11:54Maloney's always said, go to hell, Sonata, or rather, go to Hellbone.

11:58Got it.

12:00Cover here for Maloney.

12:02Two count only in Ryokoku.

12:04They're doing all of that, Warga.

12:13You see the grimace on his face, gritty teeth.

12:16The adrenaline can only take you so far, far enough to beat Sonata.

12:23We'll find out.

12:26This is something we haven't seen landed at all throughout this series.

12:29Never on Sonata before.

12:30It's that Drilla killer, Chris.

12:32It's just not gonna happen, not gonna happen after that spine driven through

12:37those tables at ringside.

12:42Maloney, more than certainly the aggressor in this matchup.

12:45Sonata trying to wrestle the smarter game here.

12:47It's gonna be evasive from Sonata.

12:49Bring it back inside the ring, back to the outside.

12:52And it's been all mind games from the sound of-

12:54This is exactly- Oh, no.

12:55Goddamn it.

12:56Come on.

12:57Knew it.

12:58No give in this acoustic tonight.

13:01Sonata absolutely controlled the pace on that exchange.

13:06They tip Maloney in, and another time.

13:09How many is that now?

13:10Four, five?

13:11Yeah, I mean, but this time, this time that guitar not shattering over the head of Maloney still.

13:15He's got that fork again, Walker.

13:17Might even be more brutal.

13:18Here's that fork.

13:19Oh, good lord.

13:20Maloney now busted.

13:21Oh, and you see the pile of blood on the ground next to Maloney's body.

13:26Yeah.

13:27Oh, good lord.

13:30This is- this is uncomfortable.

13:36And we- listen, I understand these two want to tear each other apart, Chris, but at a certain point you have to have limits to human decency.

13:42This is- yeah, you can see that is a distressing puddle.

13:47I think cut right, you can just about see right above the temple of Driller Maloney, and he is absolutely leaking right now.

13:57The sight of your own blood can do one of two things to you, Chris.

14:01This sport has proven that to be the case.

14:03It could tear you down, or it's gonna fire you up to maximum.

14:06Well, Maloney has had that sight more than a few times, courtesy of Sonata.

14:11The sight of his own blood for Driller Maloney, driving him to a riot in Ryugoku tonight.

14:20No, no, and this has gotta stop.

14:25This has gotta stop.

14:27This has gotta stop sometime soon.

14:28Sakamoto can't end this match like this, Chris.

14:30He's not gonna be able to just call this one off.

14:33Well, can you imagine if he did?

14:37When Maloney would be, you know, I mean, we'd have to get Sakamoto out here pretty damn quick,

14:41in a car out the back of this building before Maloney got his hands on him.

14:45Sonata now, in the meanwhile, ascending to the top rope.

14:48Here comes Maloney.

14:50And Locks Zaito.

14:52That four.

14:53Good God.

14:54This much blood shed already within a ten minute period.

15:01Now look at this.

15:03Almost a cruel mockery.

15:05Wow.

15:06With his mentor, Keiji Muto.

15:09Blood-soaked Shining Wizard.

15:11And now this is the classical Sonata.

15:15This is what we've come to know.

15:17Sonata, grounding body press, missed out.

15:19Here comes Maloney now.

15:20Wants it.

15:21Got it.

15:22German.

15:23No.

15:24Sonata on his feet again.

15:25Oh, no.

15:26Come on.

15:27No, no, no.

15:28Well, it's not gonna make any difference.

15:30You're right, but no one's gonna count the cover.

15:32No one can end this matchup.

15:33Sonata might be trying to end it right here.

15:35It might save Maloney in the end.

15:37No, no, no.

15:38Maloney, Maloney.

15:39On the shoulder.

15:40But there's no referee, Chris.

15:46There's no one to call this match out.

15:50And the fans counting eight, nine, and here comes the cover.

15:55Yeah, eight or nine different assholes in House of Torture.

15:58I cannot believe this.

16:00Only two for the time being, but the rest are around here, certainly.

16:04Dick Togo, Yoshinobu Katamaru.

16:20Sonata, I mean, this is a mockery.

16:25It's a mockery of the stipulation, of the rules, of the cover, and it's a two.

16:31A mockery of the rules, Walker, there aren't any rules.

16:34You're right.

16:35I hate to say it, but you're right.

16:38This is exactly what I was talking about.

16:40When Triller Maloney made this situation, he played directly into the hands of Sonata.

16:45Now, Carl Connors running his way back from the showers.

16:48You're right, it's Connors.

16:49Mark Connors at ringside, inside, taking out Katamaru.

16:53Shot to Dick.

16:58And it would be.

17:00Clark's dog for really, really.

17:04Whoa.

17:05Clark's dog for really, really.

17:08That's the newest member of the War Dogs, Chris.

17:10Look at that.

17:14Tire shots to Dick Togo and Yoshinobu Katamaru.

17:17Joe Maloney has been tired enough of Sonata for two down long.

17:23We've been all tired.

17:26All of us have been waiting for this day for House of Torture to rue.

17:30Sonata, the loss of blood leading to an early fade here.

17:44One last pathetic swing.

17:47Yeah, pathetic indeed.

17:48And look at this.

17:49There's that acoustic.

17:50This is the tune Maloney's been wanting to play for nearly a damn year.

17:54And for good reason, he's gonna get that opportunity.

17:57Go ahead.

17:58Get him, Trilla.

17:59Well.

18:00As soon as Sidada sits up, stands up.

18:05He's not gonna like the tune that's gonna be played.

18:07For too damn long.

18:12Hell yeah.

18:14Maloney.

18:16Trilla killer.

18:22One, two, three, two, three.

18:27It's over.

18:3113 minutes.

18:32It's over.

18:33It's over.

18:34It's over.

18:35It's over.

18:36It's over.

18:37It's over.

18:38It's over.

18:39Well.

18:40Sweet.

18:41Sweet.

18:42Sweet.

18:43Peter catharsis.

18:46Riot in Ryugoke was exactly the right name for this one.

19:05A six month vendetta.

19:07Vigilla Maloney finally at an end.

19:12Riot in Ryugoke is the winner of Moroni.

19:21Trilla Maloney has won your Riot in Ryugoke.

19:33The hope for Maloney, the hope for the War Dogs now.

19:36And we're gonna wait some post match comments for confirmation, but certainly so.

19:40To leave House of Torture in the past.

19:42To leave Sonata in the past.

19:44This is gonna open up the floor now.

19:46The next two to three months to set the stage for the War Dogs, Maloney and Quater specifically.

19:52If there's a route to the Tokyo Dome,

19:54Joe Maloney might have just paved it for himself tonight.

19:57I would certainly think so.

19:58Joe Maloney now finally putting away Sonata.

20:02Has cemented in my view, Walker.

20:05A completely successful transition between your heavyweight to heavyweight.

20:09Openweight, whatever you call it.

20:11Any division.

20:12Drilla Maloney has to be one of the most dangerous players in any field you put him in.

20:17Well, we're gonna have a little bit of time for our next matchup, Walker.

20:36We got a lot to clean up over here.

20:38Yeah, you're certainly right about it.

20:40As we sent Drilla Maloney off to the showers, it's gonna be a very long shower to wipe.

20:44Oh, that specimen off Maloney.

20:48Nice.

20:49Hashtag NJKOPW to talk all about the action.

20:52That's New Japan, King of Pro Wrestling for the uninitiated.

20:54And we are moving right on in to your next match of the evening soon enough, Chris.

20:58Hiroki Koto's return.

21:00Excuse me.

21:01E-Honda's debut in Pro Wrestling.

21:05Hiroki Koto's back tonight.

21:06Well, Honda versus Zhang Yim, perhaps.

21:09Hardy Jackson on the other side.

21:10TMDK versus former members of Chaos.

21:13Why doesn't Aaron Wolf have a broom?

21:15He was a great sweeper the other night.

21:17Well, we already have had a cleaner here in New Japan Pro Wrestling, so.

21:22Well, true.

21:24Six-man tag team action coming up very soon.

21:26It is, well, in some ways, a spiritual chaos reunion.

21:30Bishima's Goto and Yochi Haji and Yo will take on the heavily absent from this year's series.

21:37Ryohei Oiwa, Hartley Jackson, and Kosei Fujita.

21:40It'll be TMDK's first outing throughout the entire tour coming up right now,

21:45live on NJPW World.
