From Hiroshima, Japan:
1. Ryohei Oiwa and Kosei Fujita
Both men battle to a draw.
World Tag League 2021 Matches:
2. Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. TAKA Michinoku and Minoru Suzuki
TAKA actually picked up Kojima and hit a Michinoku Driver (which I popped for). Tenzan makes the save.
Kojima pinned TAKA after a big lariat.
3. Tomoaki Honma and Togi Makabe vs. Tiger Mask and Yuji Nagata
Makabe pins Tiger Mask after he hit a knee drop from the top rope.
4. Toru Yano and Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Chase Owens and Bad Luck Fale
Before the match, Owens was mouthing off to Tanahashi about how he beat him in the G1 Climax.
Owens was about to hit a Package Piledriver which gave him the win in the G1 until Yano made the save.
Yano dispatched Fale to the floor. Tanahashi hit the High Fly Flow on Owens.
Tanahashi pins Owens.
5. Aaron Henare and Great O-Khan vs. Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, with Jado
Tanga Loa pins Henare after a Magic Killer.
Great match! United Empire was very competitive and gave GOD a tough match.
United Empire elevated themselves in this tournament. Henare looks great and has improved on his timing in the ring and is more aggressive. GOD was like their “final exam”. Despite the loss, United Empire, as a tag team, should be put on the level of Dangerous Tekkers, GOD or Los Ingobernales de Japon.
Great O-Khan deserves a lot of credit. With the injury to Ospreay, he helped to build both Jeff Cobb and Aaron Henare in 2021.
6. SANADA and Tetsuya Naito vs. Yujiro Takahashi and EVIL, with Dick Togo
SANADA had EVIL pinned with an O’Conner Roll. Yujiro hit SANADA right in the groin with his Pimp Stick.
EVIL hit SANADA with Everything is Evil.
EVIL pins SANADA.
Usual tricks by House of Torture leads to a win.
7. YOSHI-HASHI and Hirooki Goto vs. Zack Sabre Jr. and Taichi
ZSJ and Taichi tried to destroy Goto’s left knee all match long. Goto refused to submit. Goto kicked out of Tekkers’ double team moves.
ZSJ and Taichi were frustrated. Taichi was about to hit a Tensho Jijuhou, but YOSHI-HASHI grabbed his leg. Goto rolled up ZSJ in a Goto Ni Shiki.
Goto pins ZSJ.
Wow! Great Match! The pin and win for CHAOS came out of nowhere. Tekkers were pissed at the result.
They announced that Goto and YOSHI-HASHI will face House of Torture in Ryogoku on December 15 to determine the World Tag League Winners.
Final Standings for WTL 2021:
Dangerous Tekkers - 16
Suzuki /Michinoku - 0
Kojima /Tenzan - 6
Tiger Mask/Nagata - 2
Honma/Makabe - 4
Guerrillas of Destiny - 14
United Empire - 14
Owens/Fale - 12
Yano/Tanahashi - 14
House of Torture - 16
YOSHI-HASHI /Goto - 18
Los Ingobernales de Japon - 16
On December 15, in Ryogoku, Tokyo, Japan, it will be the finals for the Best of Super Junior 28 and World Tag League 2021.
Predictions:
BOSJ 28: YOH vs. Hiromu Takahashi
Hiromu should win here. The bigger match for Wrestle Kingdom is Hiromu vs. El Desperado for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship. Hiromu is a crowd favorite so I think he makes more sense as a draw.
WTL 2021: Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI vs. Yujiro Takahashi and EVIL
CHAOS should win. House of Torture already has the NEVER Openweight 6-man Titles. They do not need another title. I would expect SHO to get involved in the match. CHAOS winning would give Dangerous Tekkers a solid challenge at Wrestle Kingdom.
