Results from 12/2-12/5
The Dec. 2nd show saw El Desperado and SHO break away from the pack, with wins over IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori and Hiromu Takahashi respectively. Both matches cannot be missed.
The night also proved a major crack in the armor of newcomer Master Wato. It is quite possible that Hiroyoshi Tenzan’s heavyweight influence is holding back the former Young Lion.
