Before tonight’s action NJPW had a tribute to Dory Funk Jr. including the traditional ten bell salute.
On night 12 it was a civil war with Jake Lee and The Great-O-Khan, both members of The United Empire, doing battle for those precious two points and to stay in the tournament itself.
There was no holding back either. Lee started off the match hurling Khan into a steel barricade but Khan caught him coming back into the ring kicking the middle rope into his “lower abdomen”. Khan tried to lift Lee off the mat but Lee lay clutching his crotch. The official motioned for Khan to back away from Lee to give him some air. Khan grabbed the official by the throat. Lee hit Khan from behind in the “lower abdomen”. He kicked him in the ass sending him through the ropes and to the floor.
Lee pulled out a protecting cup out of his tights revealing that he was protected all along from Khan’s attack. As he danced and laughed in the ring, Khan snarled on the floor. He grabbed a steel chair bringing it into the ring. The official warned Khan if he used the chair he would be disqualified. Khan pushed the official to the mat. He swung at Lee but missed with the chair. Lee grabbed the chair, hit the mat, threw the chair to Khan and then fell down.
As the official got back to his feet he saw Khan with the chair, Lee laying on the ground and disqualified Khan immediately.
As Lee winked at the camera Khan threw the chair at him. Khan put Lee’s head on a chair and prepared to strike him with another. Jakob Austin Young rushed into the ring pleading with Khan to stop.
Lee stood up immediately offering his hand to Khan. Khan rolled out of the ring.
Boltin Oleg gets one of the biggest wins of his career beating IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Yota Tsuji with an Avalanche Kamikazi.
