By: Lewis Carlan

The New Japan Pro-Wrestling Best of Super Junior 32 tournament is rolling along as the promotion held its eighth night of action on May 22nd.

The main event of night eight saw the current IWGP Jr Heavyweight Champion El Desperado face YOH as Desperado attempted to reach 8 points. Unfortunately for Desperado, YOH was the better man on this occasion as he emerged victorious over the IWGP Jr Heavyweight Champion.

In the co-feature, AEW’s Nick Wayne attempted to become the first competitor to reach 10 points but Taiji Ishimori had other plans. Ishimori prevented Wayne from getting to 10 points by defeating the young star with his Bloody Cross finisher.

Both Block A and B have eight participants each tied in second place with 6 points.
