00:37things certainly have not gone as intended
00:40in Best of the Super Junior this year
00:43for the man himself known as Kushida
00:45he is your Filipino pro wrestling champion
00:47the same title held by men like Mike Madrigal
00:50Jeff Cobb and Cuatro over in the Philippines
00:53Kushida representing the Philippines well
00:55but some can't say the same
00:57in Best of the Super Junior
00:59I'll tell you one place Kushida does have a winning record though
01:02over his opponent
01:03six years ago
01:05El Desperado and Kushida last collided
01:07in the New Japan ring
01:08and it all comes to light here
01:10in Best of the Super Junior 33
01:27El Desperado takes on Kushida
01:30one-on-one tonight
01:56it feels as though in the modern day
01:59El Desperado does not have many men
02:01he can say he has a losing record against
02:04but Kushida does stand as one of them
02:06but that losing record in that last match happening
02:09about seven to six years ago
02:11El Desperado and Kushida
02:13go one-on-one all the way down the line
02:15here in 2026
02:16the points on the line
02:17an opportunity for El Desperado
02:20to stand as the sole man
02:22in double digits
02:23B-block could make it to ten points here tonight
02:26and that is if and only if
02:28El Desperado can even up the record
02:30against Kushida
02:31in Seagull's action
02:55four points on the board
02:56for Kushida
02:57eight points on the board
02:58for El Desperado
03:00and if El Desperado can find a victory
03:03in this contest
03:04he will be the first man in B-block
03:06to ascend
03:07to a double-digit mark
03:22he is your IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion
03:26is El Desperado
03:27and something tells me
03:28Kushida intending to wrestle a very different match
03:31against El Desperado
03:32than these two men might have had
03:34seven to six years ago
03:35it was 2017
03:37Best of the Super Junior 24
03:38to kick off the whole tournament in Corican Hall
03:40where El Desperado would go one-on-one with Kushida
03:44upon Kushida's return to New Japan Pro Wrestling
03:46that would be a tournament that Kushida would end up winning
03:49back in the year of 2017
03:51and El Desperado would be
03:53one of the few men to be able to beat Kushida
03:55in that year's Best of the Super Junior
03:56ever since then though
03:58IWGP Junior title matchup
04:00back in Hiroshima
04:022017
04:02Kushida putting down El Desperado on that night
04:05Kushida putting down El Desperado the following
04:07Best of the Super Junior
04:08in BOSJ 25 2018
04:12that was the last time that these two men
04:14went to war in a singles capacity
04:17very different men at that point in their career
04:19very different men
04:22stylistically Kushida has really taken on a lot more of this
04:25martial arts approach for this year's Best of the Super Junior
04:28and I think it's sort of a matter of
04:29hey, I may not be able to win this year's Best of the Super Junior
04:33but I'm going to showcase my technique
04:34I'm going to showcase everything I've learned
04:36everything I've been teaching the students over at the NJPW Academy
04:39everything I've gained during my time as MLW World Middleweight Champion
04:43and of course Kushida representing a CMLL over the course of the last year as well
04:47as a part of the Hontai main unit
04:52Kushida immediately taking down here
04:54that left arm of El Desperado
04:57had a number done on it by show
04:59back in Best of the Super Junior competition
05:01about a week ago
05:04but it is El Desperado right back to the bottom rope
05:06that is going to force the break here
05:15it is do or die for Kushida here tonight on four points
05:19if Kushida loses this matchup
05:20he will be eliminated
05:21from Best of the Super Junior contention
05:25and right now
05:26Jacob, rather, El Desperado
05:28excuse me
05:29going to do all that he can
05:30to try and put down Kushida
05:32it was El Desperado who earned his last two points
05:34over Jacob Asunyong
05:35back in B-block competition
05:38and once again
05:40another man who has fallen to Jacob Asunyong
05:43in this tournament
05:44being Kushida
05:45I think that Kushida has a lot on the line here tonight
05:48more ways than one
05:49to try and put down Desper
05:54and Desperado
05:55really
05:56no, no, no
05:57hold on a minute
05:57Kushida immediately
05:59into that crossface
06:00hold on Desperado
06:02and is going to slow time down
06:04for Desper
06:04going forward
06:06look at this
06:07just grinding
06:09grinding the tricep
06:11into the neck
06:12into the side of the skull of Desperado
06:14even still
06:14Despe holding on tight now
06:16side headlock taken in
06:17for Kushida on Desperado
06:19one more time
06:19and a drop to hold
06:21going to find the money
06:22and Kushida right back out again
06:24into the side
06:25one more time
06:29if Kushida wins this matchup
06:31that means that
06:32every single person
06:34in B-block today
06:36will go into Corken Hall
06:38still mathematically alive
06:39in best of the Super Junior contention
06:42I think that means
06:43a lot of potential
06:44the world is going to be watching
06:46Corken Hall
06:46June 2nd and June 3rd
06:48live on NJPW World
06:49as Desperado

06:59you see those knees
07:00heavily
07:00heavily taped up
07:02from action
07:03over an MLW
07:04action in CMLL
07:05and now action
07:05back in a New Japan
07:06pro wrestling ring
07:07I can absolutely understand
07:08why Kushida
07:09would have these injuries
07:10that are starting to build up
07:11and linger
07:12but right now
07:13that is a
07:14difficult
07:15difficult opponent to face
07:16with a knee injury

07:18a man who loves to utilize
07:20that numero dos
07:21stretch muffler

07:32a 1-2 record
07:342 going to Kushida
07:351 going to Desperado
07:36Desperado wants to try

08:02Kushida is not exactly
08:04the type who's known
08:04to get extreme

09:54IWGP junior heavyweight champion best of the Super Junior winner in 2024 main event in Domin
10:01ion to hold that title high
10:03It is El Desperado here at tonight who is really in every single circumstance dog walking Kushida
10:15and look at this I mean Desperado just butterflying the legs of Kushida tonight
10:21Kushida really trying to attack those fingers and a poke right to the eye El Desperado has
10:25had enough
10:28Kushida gonna take things into the bottom rope here that's gonna force the break
10:31and a little bit of separation is gonna go a long way for Kushida in this one
10:56Desperado now keep your eye on it here no no no wait a minute really was going for
11:02that knee breaker
11:02Kushida turns things around and immediately immediately into that cross arm El Desperado
11:07trying to alleviate some of the pressure now but El Desperado one more time that boot scraping
11:13across the eyes of Kushida and now you can see Kushida in real time elevating to the
11:20killer instinct
11:20that he has certainly yelled to become junior champion in the past Kushida what a war we're seeing
11:27as a hip toss cartwheel right into the dropkick
11:33the bare feet of Kushida go right across the skull of El Desperado
11:41and now those feet are gonna go oh good lord have mercy somewhere a wee bit more disrespectful
11:49I mean you talk about putting your foot in your mouth and El Desperado had to run his
11:53a little bit
11:53too long in post-match comments yesterday Kushida is really oh good lord good lord oh
11:59oh Kushida well the separation of the toes there for Kushida I think he's trying to pop
12:08it back into
12:08place now because that was a debilitating blow as Kushida now really gonna fight the fire with
12:15fire
12:16oh and separating the hand of El Desperado one more time

12:58El Desperado in the worst of ways trying to hold on for as long as he can possibly
13:04manage to do so
13:05against Kushida here
13:08Kushida trying to advance even further above the game that El Desperado has played here tonight and
13:14again
13:14right back to the center Desperado though Desperado taking control of that left leg
13:18the numero dos certainly going to be applied soon that stretch muffler attempt is working out very
13:25very well for the junior tag team champion
13:40Desperado putting the pressure on that knee but Kushida has that arm hammerlock to hell right
13:46now and
13:46certainly one of these two men is going to walk away with a win over this one
13:52and right now Kushida Kushida maintains leverage control maintains control right into the hoverboard
