Sudden Death backfires as Suzuki-Gun reclaim tag gold
After the scheduled main event on February 25’s Road to castle Attack was altered as a result of Hiromu Takahashi’s torn pectoral muscle, El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru challenged the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions El Phantasmo and Taiji Ishimori in a rematch of January 30’s Road to The New Beginning event Thursday. );
Not waiting for the bell or the referee’s checks, Desperado charged in on Phantasmo to start the match before the bell officially rang, and Kanemaru kept up the pressure with boots in the corner. Well used to controlling his opponents in the BULLET CLUB corner, Phantasmo found himself the subject of targeted aggression, until a low bridge from Ishimori sent Desperado to the floor and brought control from one villainous duo to the other.
