El Phantasmo and El Desperado have taken over B Block with their wins today. They lead the block with four points each. Phantasmo beat Master Wato previously and Bushi today. Desperado beat Titan previously and TJP today. Both Master Wato and Titan don’t have a single win in the tournament thus far.
In the most grueling match of the tournament, Phantasmo caught Wato with a Sudden Death kick as he leapt off the top rope. Phantasmo pinned him with a CR2.
El Desperado scores another win. Courtesy: NJPW.
Desperado got one over TJ Perkins by rolling out of the way of his top rope splash. Desperado bridged out of a pin and flipped TJ into a Pinche Loco to take the two points.
The tournament continues on Saturday. The finals are on June 3rd.

Best of the Super Juniors Night Four Results
Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Yoh versus Suzuki-gun (TAKA Michinoku and Yoshinobu Kanemaru)
Yoh pins Taka with the Direct Drive. Poor Taka. I don’t think he has won a single match since his return to NJPW. Kanemaru kicks Yoh’s knee out from under him after the match in an attempt to gain an advantage in their match on Saturday.
Winners: Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Yoh
Jado, Ryusuke Taguchi, Clark Connors and Alex Zayne versus Bullet Club (Dick Togo, Gedo, Sho and Taiji Ishimori)
Gedo taps out to Taguchi’s ankle lock. Ishimori strangles Zayn with a t-shirt after the match. Ishimori faces Zayn on Saturday in the tournament.
Winners: Jado, Ryusuke Taguchi, Clark Connors and Alex Zayne
Tiger Mask and Ace Austin versus Los Ingobernables de Japón (Hiromu Takahashi and Shingo Takagi)
Takagi pins Tiger Mask with the Pumping Bomber. Hiromu and Austin get nose to nose and share some nasty words.
Winners: Los Ingobernables de Japón (Hiromu Takahashi and Shingo Takagi)
Wheeler Yuta versus Douki – BEST OF THE SUPER Jr. 29
Yuta gets his first win of the tournament with the Seatbelt Clutch.
Winner: Wheeler Yuta
Titan versus EL LINDAMAN – BEST OF THE SUPER Jr. 29
LINDAMAN drives Titan into the mat for a big victory.
Winner: EL LINDAMAN
Robbie Eagles versus Bushi – BEST OF THE SUPER Jr. 29
Bushi scores a win by hitting a destroyer and an MX on Robbie Eagles. Let’s hope that Bushi is getting more of a push from this. They really need to stop using him as pin fodder when he is a decent wrestler.
Winner: Bushi
Master Wato versus El Phantasmo – BEST OF THE SUPER Jr. 29
Winner: El Phantasmo
El Desperado versus TJP – BEST OF THE SUPER Jr. 29
Winner: El Desperado
