New Japan Pro-Wrestling has officially released the blocks for this year’s Best of the Super Juniors tournament, as well as the full match cards for every single show.
The tour will feature 15 events spread across 3 weeks of non-stop action, including a run that will see a staggering 40 tournament matches take place within the span of just 5 days. As always, a win will be worth 2 points, a draw will be worth 1 point, and of course a loss yields nothing.
Best of the Super Juniors will kick off on Monday, May 13th and culminate with the tournament finals on Wednesday, June 5th. NJPW has also confirmed that Hiroshi Tanahashi will return at that show in a match against “Switchblade” Jay White.
