10/21 NEW JAPAN SUPER TAG LEAGUE RESULTS

By James Kurokawa on 2023-10-22 13:51:00

From Saitama, Japan:

1 - Yuto Nakashima, Ren Narita and Shota Umino vs. Callum Newman, HENARE and Great O-Khan

O-Khan taps out Nakashima with a head and arm choke sleeper.

2 - Yuya Uemura and SANADA vs. Boltin Oleg and Oskar Leube 

Uemura pins Oskar with a double underhook suplex with a bridge.

3 - Hiromu Takahashi and Tetsuya Naito vs. Gedo and Taiji Ishimori 

Naito pins Gedo after a tornado DDT.

Ishimori is jacked and looks to be close to his original form.  Ishimori has been out for months due to a spine injury suffered in a match with Hiromu Takahashi at Best of the Super Juniors 2023.  It was a good first match back against Hiromu to shake off the rust.  

After the match, Naito, who has been carrying around a bag which holds his Title Contract at Wrestle Kingdom, reached into his bag and gave some Los Ingobernales memorabilia to a young female fan.  She thanked him politely, but then broke down in tears of happiness when Naito gave her the LIJ Fist Bump.  That was an awesome moment to capture on camera.  These types of moments will get fans to spend their money at Wrestle Kingdom.

4 - Kosei Fujita and Robbie Eagles vs.  Francesco Akira and TJP

Catch 22 hits 2X2 on Fujita.   TJP pins Fujita.
