El Desperado Praises Kosei Fujita in NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors

By: R. Faliani

It seems like this year’s Best of the Super Juniors tournament is focusing more on the young talents of the Junior division rather than the same wrestlers in the last 10 years. Kosei Fujita is one of these young wrestlers who are making a name for themselves at the said tournament, and his match with El Desperado, even in defeat, proves to be another example of what the TMDK young protege can bring to the table. So much that he has Desperado praising him.

After the match, Desperado made his post-match comments and said what everyone was thinking in that arena. The former IWGP Junior Champion declared Fujita to be more than a punching bag. He said the young wrestler from TMDK put up a great fight, and he finished up by stating his next opponents are Hiromu Takahashi and BUSHI, two wrestlers who have become common opponents in this competition he’s aiming to win.
