[Apoho Creed]

I'll take anyone besides the past Winners winning this Year please.​

I think YOH Separated his Shoulder at Sakura Genesis so he might need to be replaced in the BOSJ.

YOH injured; to miss Best of Super Jr.​

Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

During a match for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship at Sakura Genesis, YOH sustained an injury that necessitated the match being stopped. YOH went on to have a full medical assessment, and it has been determined that YOH sustained a dislocated left shoulder as well as damage to the shoulder labrum.

As a result of his injury, YOH will not compete in Best of the Super Jr. 31, beginning May 11 in Chiba. We apologise to fans who were looking forward to seeing YOH wrestle, and appreciate your understanding. A replacement for YOH in the tournament will be announced at a later date.

NJPW joins fans in wishing YOH a full and fast recovery.

I wouldn't even mind KUSHIDA making the Finals and putting over someone new because this Tourney needs a major spark.

A BLOCK

El Desperado
Kevin Knight
BUSHI
Titan
TJP
Kosei Fujita
Blake Christian
Clark Connors
Yoshinobu Kanemaru
HAYATA

Three debut entrants combine with the most experienced members of this year’s field for a highly intriguing balance. Will it be youth and a fresh approach or veteran instincts and wiles that book two places in the final four?

B BLOCK

KUSHIDA
Hiromu Takahashi
DOUKI
Francesco Akira
Robbie Eagles
Taiji Ishimori
Drilla Moloney
SHO
Dragon Dia
Ninja Mack

Fresh entrant Dragon Dia joins a B Block group that’s a melting pot of styles from the spectacular high flying Mack through the brutal hard hits of Drilla Moloney to the expert technicians like Eagles and Ishimori. Who advances?​

 

[Canadian Dragon]

this is a fantastic cast

 

[Canadian Dragon]

blake, Ninja and Hayata are some BASED choices for non njpw entries. I love it. they put Kushida as NJPW but I count it as a TNA entry

 

[Apoho Creed]

Akira vs TJP or Despy tell me that shit wouldn't put us in a fever I'm I right?
