At the end of the second night of the NJPW Best of the Super Junior tournament GCW World Champion Blake Christian leads A Block with Titan. They are both tied at four points each. Christian notched his second win in a row by defeating Kevin Knight via nefarious means. Christian gave Knight a stunner on the apron. He then kicked the ropes into Knight’s “lower abdomen” as he was stepping through the ropes. The crowd booed and booed. Christian stomped Knight on the apron and pinned him with a Springboard 450 off the ropes.
There is a three-way tie in B Block. The Cinderella story of the tournament so far, Ninja Mack, is tied with Taiji Ishimori and Kushida with four points each.
Los Ingobernables de Japon pals Bushi and Titan went to war on night two. Bushi tapped out to Titan’s Llave Inmortal submission hold, his version of the Muta Lock. Titan has won both of his starting BOSJ matches while Bushi has lost his.
