KBS Hall sees lucha action
Night two of the intense CMLL and NJPW festival sees Fantasticamania come to Kyoto’s iconic KBS Hall. The stained glass wrestling chapel sees more relevos increibles action tonight as the tour continues and the interfaction tournament looms near.
Watch Fantasticamania LIVE on NJPW World!
Main event: Relevos Increibles- Volador Jr. & Mistico vs Atlantis Jr. & Templario
After teaming with Hiroshi Tanahashi in the main event of night one, it’s Los Depredadores leader and former Historic Welterweight champion Volador Jr. that’s Mistico’s partner tonight against Atlantis Jr. and Templario. This is the second night in a row for Templario opposite the Skywalker Volador, and both will look to make a sustained statement, while rudo Templario and fan favourite Atlantis Jr. will have to try to stay on the same page.
5th Match: Relevos Increibles- Hiroshi Tanahashi, El; Desperado & Ultimo Guerrero vs Hechicero, Magia Blanca & SHO
Trios action sees more ‘incredible’ odd couplings in the semi final. SHO once again teams with Hechicero, with the addition of the popular Magia Blanca, for whom SHO’s shortcutting stylings may cause offense. In the opposite corner, the strange sight of El Desperado teaming with Hiroshi Tanahashi; though Desperado’s position in the Strong Style team has moved him adjacent to Hontai, seeing him team with the Ace will certainly take some getting used to.
Perhaps Desperado might feel at home getting his hands dirty with the big boss of Los Guerreros in Ultimo Guerrero, but can the two of them bring Tanahashi along for a rule breaking ride?
4th Match: YOH, Kosei Fujita, Ryusuke Taguchi & Soberano Jr. vs Los Ingobernables De Japon (Hiromu Takahashi, BUSHI, Titan & Testuya Naito)
Eight man action will see a Los Ingobernables De Japon quartet face Soberano Jr., Ryusuke Taguchi, YOH and Kosei Fujita. At Anniversary on March 6, YOH and Lio Rush will take on Hiromu Takahashi and BUSHI, ahead of Rush’s challenge for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship March 21. Can YOH get some revenge for his Sapporo loss early this month, and set the pace for his tag team partner tonight?
3rd Match: Tiger Mask, Master Wato & Dulce Gardenia vs Barbaro Cavernario, Hijo Del Villano 3 & OKUMURA
Master Wato, Tiger Mask and Dulce Gardenia provide an exotic trio to melt hearts the world over in six man action. How will they fare against the rudo team of Hijo Del Villano 3, OKUMURA and Barbaro Cavernario?
2nd Match: Ryohei Oiwa & Captain Suicida vs BULLET CLUB (Taiji Ishimori & Gedo)
For the third consecutive night since retiring another man with a long Mexxican past in NOSAWA Rongai, Taiji Ishimori and Gedo will face young fan favourites in Ryohei Oiwa and Captain Suicida. Will Ishimori and Gedo continue to make a mark on behalf of the beleaguered BULLET CLUB?
1st Match: Yuto Nakashima & rey Cometa vs Just Two Guys (Yoshinobu Kanemaru & DOUKI)
Action kicks off with Yuto Nakashima and Rey Cometa against Yoshinobu Kanemaru and DOUKI. Veteran Cometa will be guiding Nakashima in this tag battle, but they’ll need all the wiles they possess against the ever devious J4G combo.
