NJPW Best of the Super Juniors x World Tag League Finals
December 11th, 2020 | Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan | Attendance: 3,564
Try as I may, I couldn’t keep up with reviewing the endlessly dull World Tag League. I’m here for the finals though, along with the much more entertaining BOSJ!
Bad Luck Fale, Chase Owens and Taiji Ishimori vs. Robbie Eagles, SHO and Toru Yano
I actually don’t hate this as an opener. Sure, Fale is awful and his team with Owens was boring in the tournament but everyone else involved is pretty sweet. Speaking of sweet, it was pretty great to see Ishimori against SHO and Eagles. Those three guys are always really good and had some of the best matches of the tournament, so they made this work. Yano was his entertaining self and the other guys didn’t get in the way, so this came off well. That said, this was still nothing special and kind of standard NJPW multi-man opener fare. Eagles was put down by the Grenade Launcher finisher from Fale and Owens i
Karl Fredericks is out of tomorrow’s Super J Cup card.
The company reported this morning that Fredericks is injured and won’t be able to compete on tomorrow’s card. Fredericks wasn’t a part of the tournament, but was set to take place in a tag team match, teaming with Ren Narita against Hikuleo and KENTA.
As a result of the injury, Kevin Knight has replaced Fredericks in the match. Knight will be making his debut for the promotion, having previously participated in the September 2019 LA Dojo tryout.
The other tag match on the card will have Rocky Romero and Fred Rosser team up to take on JR Kratos and Danny Limelight of Team Filthy.

One New Japan Pro Wrestling star resorted to desperate measures during the 27th Best of the Super Juniors tournament earlier today.
In the co-main event and final match to determine the Best of the Super Juniors, there was a moment during his bout with Hiromu Takahashi that El Desperado completely removed his torn mask. As seen below, Desperado’s painted face was exposed as a result.
