IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship set for Death Pain Invitational!
Title match official for Korakuen special
The June 24, Korakuen hall final singles showdown for El Desperado and Jun Kasai has begun to take shape, after a sudden surprise from Kasai, and a press conference request from Desperado.
This year, Kasai has twice scored direct pinfalls over the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, in three way and tag team environments. That prompted Desperado to request one more singles match with the Crazy Monkey, what would be their third after a fateful 2019 no contest and 2022 TAKA Taichi Despe Mania rematch.
Desperado had vowed to win Best of the Super Jr. 32, and then to use his trophy win as leverage to nominate Kasai as his next challenger. That didn't come to pass, with Kasai appearing at the BOSJ final to assure the champion that it was the man holding the belt rather than the belt itself he was after. All the same, as eventual winner Kosei Fujita declared that he had no interest in wrestling an IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion preoccupied with other matters, Desperado would make a request to the IWGP Committee to put his title on the line in Korakuen,
Now the match is on, in what should be a new water (or should that be blood?) shed for the junior heavyweight championship. The ruleset for this contest is currently to be announced, but with the event itself bearing the branding of the Death Pain Invitacional at Kasai's suggestion, one could imagine the kind of punishment both will go through on June 24.
