At the end of the second day of competition in the Best of the Super Junior 33 tournament, A and B blocks have ties at the top. Ryusuke Taguchi and Titan are tied at the top of A Block with 4 points each and Sho, Daisuke Sasaki are tied at the top of B Block with 4 points each as well.
For me, the most entertaining superstar of the tournament continues to be the insane Daisuke Sasaki. I like this dude. He is crazy and reminds me of a modern version of The Great Kabuki. He took on Kushida tonight. While they battle on the top rope though, Kushida beats him to the punch by taking the wrestling boot Sasaki ripped off of him and stuffing it into his face. Sasaki does the same to Kushida. Sasaki misses a flying elbow as Kushida puts him in a Hoverboard Lock.
Kushida takes a sock off his foot and puts him on his hand. Kushida clotheslines him. Kushida locks on the Mandible Claw. Shout out to Mick Foley! Kushida kicks Sasaki with his bare foot. Sasaki catches the foot and bites it. Sasaki puts Kushida in a crossface. He rips the sock off Kushida’s hand and stuffs it into his mouth then reapplies the crossface. Kushida taps out.
