NJPW Best of the Super Jr. XIX - 27 май-10 юни 2012

[nWoHulkster]

New Japan today announced participants for “NJPW 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR ~ BEST OF THE SUPER JR. XIX ~THE DOOR TO THE GLORY~“, Japanese wrestling’s most famous junior heavyweight tournament.

The big news first is the announcement that All Japan masked man BUSHI has moved to New Japan on a one year loan deal as of May 1st, which is a new initiative by New Japan that will help train and improve other wrestlers, similar to when they go overseas. This is much like they do in football/soccer with young players and could well take off in Japan now as a way of diversifying rosters and giving young men more experiences.

PAC of DRAGON GATE is another BOSJ debutant, while “Russian Hooligan” Alex Koslov, who recently left his WWE developmental deal and is well known for his work in Mexico, is also in. Young CMLL talent Angel de Oro makes his New Japan debut in the tournament and will hope to make an impression. Last year’s “ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT” winner on the NEVER brand, Daisuke Sasaki, has also been invited back for a second time. Here is the full list, blocks will be announced in the near future…

Black Tiger (NOSAWA) беше арестуван заради трева. Заместникът му в турнира е young lion-a Hiromu Takahashi.

Пресконференцията за турнира:

Alex Koslov = звездата на пресконференцията. Конфронтацийката между Liger & Romero също беше забавна. Shut mouth, bastard! Fuck off! :D

8. Best of the Super Jr. - Final: Ryusuke Taguchi beat Low Ki (17:01) with a Milano-saku Dodon's Throne.

At long last the “Funky Weapon” Ryusuke Taguchi wins the Best of the Super Jr. tournament! A momentous finale to the BOSJ saw Taguchi beat PAC in the first semi final then Devitt again fall to Low Ki and apparently get a legitimately injured knee in the process. Taguchi then did the seemingly impossible and stalled the Low Ki juggernaut, which had seen the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion win nine matches in a row in the tournament. Taguchi dug deep in a Rocky Balbao-esque performance after getting his eye injured, coming back to sink Low Ki with the Milano–saku Dodon’s Throne! It now looks almost certain that these two will clash in six day’s time for the title at “DOMINION 6.16″. Can Taguchi use this momentum to not only go on and win the title but finally escape from the shadow of his sworn friend and tag partner Devitt?
