DespaWato: The Ballad of Super Jr. Tag League

Speaking of Strong Style

Jeremy Finestone and Steven Conway are back! It was a busy week in New Japan, and Steven related his experiences at both the Sphere and in the crowd at Fighting Spirit Unleashed. The pair broke down the Las Vegas card, including Shingo Takagi's title victory over Tama Tonga, Eddie Kingston defending his STRONG title against HENARE, Giulia facing an impressive Hyan for the Strong Women's title, Hikuleo and El Phantasmo's title defense against Lance Archer and Alex Zayne, plus a legends match featuring Hiroshi Tanahashi, Atlantis, Mistico, Rocky Romero and more. They also went through a packed week of shows back in Japan, with Super Jr. Tag League coming down to its final night of block action. They discussed how El Desperado and Master Wato made for the tournament's most interesting subplot, Catch 2/2's run as a babyface team, Clark Connors and Dan Moloney turning up the heat as the War Dogs and how Kosei Fujita and Kevin Knight are on their way to being superstars. Steven and Jeremy also looked ahead to Power Struggle on Nov. 4 as New Japan sets up angles and matchups for Wrestle Kingdom.
