WEEK ONE: New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s World Tag League & Best of the Super Jr.27

During the first week of World Tag League and Best of the Super Juniors we saw some amazing matches with the league tables all looking very close at this point, going into week two we will see some front runners emerge.  

In World Tag League we have all ready seen two inter-faction match ups involving Bullet Club, with G.O.D. being particularly vicious and determined in these bouts and a more friendly CHAOS match up with Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI facing Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano.

On the Best of the Super Juniors side of this past week has seen phenomenal match ups involving Hiromu Takahashi, El Desperado, Taiji Ishimori and Ryusuke Taguchi. Takahashi faced fellow Los Ingobernables de Japon member BUSHI in the main event of night three while SHO and Robbie Eagles faced each other in a hard hitting bout to see who the best Junior Heavyweight in CHAOS is.
