El Desperado Retains For V8

El Desperado is still the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champion after defeating YOH in the main event for his eighth successful defense. The challenger gave him all he could handle, but Desperado escaped a Direct Drive attempt and managed to hit his big moves to pull through once again.

The victory is a huge confidence booster for the champion, as he had lost all three of their previous singles matches. As for YOH, he will have to go back to the drawing board after another terrific performance goes for naught, as he fails to capture singles glory.
