Hiromu Takahashi and Taiji Ishimori continued to dominate the B Block in the Best of the Super Juniors tournament on night ten. Both have 12 points each leading Robbie Eagles, Douki and Sho who have ten.
Ishimori defeated Sho to score two more points. Ishimori had Sho in the Bone Lock but Yujiro Takahashi rung the ring bell. Ishimori thought he won. While Sho distracted the official Yujiro leapt onto the apron. Ishimori knocked him off with a handspring kick. Sho low-blowed Ishimori. Ishimori reversed a Shock Arrow into a Bloody Cross for the win.
Before Hiromu Takahashi tangled with Drilla Moloney, Tetsuya Naito came down to join the Japanese commentary team. Robbie Eagles wondered why he didn’t get the same treatment when he joined the English announce team earlier.

Hiromu managed to put a foot on the ropes to escape the Drilla Killa. Moloney pulled Hiromu into the middle of the ring for another try at a pin. Hiromu rolled him up instead for the win.
An angry Drilla put Hiromu in a figure four leglock around a steel post and refused to let go then finally released Hiromu still raging at the loss.
