Steven ConwayHOST
We are days away from the Super Junior Tag League beginning, but injuries have caught up to El Desperado, and one of the biggest stars in the whole tournament has been forced to withdraw.
Steven ConwayHOST
How does that affect New Japan's plans for Lucha Kingdom, Junior Tag League, other events for that matter? We'll talk about that.
Steven ConwayHOST
Plus, we're going to look at Taichi's promoted event in his old middle school up in Hokkaido.
AndyHOST
I didn't look at any of the stuff, and I guess this wasn't announced yet.
AndyHOST
But we get El Desperado and Yano out to the ring.
AndyHOST
Here we go.
AndyHOST
We're going to have some kind of weapons match or something, probably, right? And the other team is Yudo, Ice, and Gato.
Dylan FoxHOST
You mentioned him earlier, Mystico.
Dylan FoxHOST
He is teaming with El Desperado.
Dylan FoxHOST
And also in a block, you've got Ryusuke.
Dylan FoxHOST
Yeah.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
Well, let's jump into the A Block.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
So first, we do have the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, El Desperado and Mystico.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
So I know there was a lot of debate whether or not Mystico was going to actually, in fact, be a part of the league.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
Well, here he is in the league, and this is a debut entry for Despy and Mystico as a team in Junior Tag League.

Jeremy DonovanHOST
So, you know, we've seen Kukai come in for a couple of tours now.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
You know, originally kind of linked up with Doki.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
He was teaming with Doki, right? It was El Desperado.
Josh SmithHOST
And I, you know, I know that they can't work together anymore.
Acefield RetroHOST
It's hard to establish meaning from the beginning, whether it's the Owen, whether it's the C2, history has to build on it and now you have New Japan having these as an option to win.
Acefield RetroHOST
A block features the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight champions, El Desperado and Mystico, alongside Tashi Ishimori and Robbie X, Do- Doki and Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Ryusuke Taguchi and Kazuma Sutommu, Master Wato and Kukai, and Kushida and Nick Wayne.
Acefield RetroHOST
So Kushida teaming with Nick Wayne is immediately what's interesting me.
Acefield RetroHOST
Of course, we just talked about Nick Wayne coming off his dub over Chris Jericho.
Acefield RetroHOST
Several points of interest beyond the New Japan regular roster, which is what they're trying to do is if they're continuing to retool.
Acefield RetroHOST
In a future IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship opportunities described as likely for the winners.
Acefield RetroHOST
El Desperado and Mystico are not, uh, if they don't win themselves, of course, we have seen that before in the past.
Acefield RetroHOST
Uh, but the confirmed prize is the new trophies with the tournament available live in English on New Japan World.

James TruepennyGUEST
You had Hiroma Takahashi, Will Ospreay, and that junior heavyweight division that were also excellent.
James TruepennyGUEST
You had people like El Desperado on the rise in that particular era.
James TruepennyGUEST
He's now the ace of the division.
James TruepennyGUEST
All of these things were it was a constant turnover of great talent, telling great stories and having marquee matches on a monthly basis with two major championships that were highly respected.
10 MINS LATER
James TruepennyGUEST
Obviously, yes.
James TruepennyGUEST
Yeah, absolutely.
James TruepennyGUEST
Tom, out of those 12 New Japan Wrestling matches to watch, how many featured El Desperado? None of them, which is disappointing.
James TruepennyGUEST
So I've not actually seen a match with my favorite wrestler in, which is very disappointing.
