Sasaki Triumphant In 20th Anniversary Match

Daisuke Sasaki and IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champion El Desperado were successful in their first-ever match as tag partners in the main event. They downed the pairing of Shuji Ishikawa and Antonio Honda, two men who have played major roles in Sasaki’s career.

This was Sasaki’s return to the ring after dislocating his shoulder during his tag title match at Wrestle Peter Pan last August 30th. After the match, he said in jest that Desperado carried him the entire match and sent a message to Masa Takanashi, telling him to do his best to live.

Takanashi, who is also one of Sasaki’s former tag partners and stablemates, injured his neck during the main event of Judgment, fighting for the KO-D Openweight title against his current tag partner, Chris Brookes, last March. Sasaki would pay homage to him during the match by attempting one of his signature moves, the Takatonic.
