New Japan ran Day 5 of Best Of The Super Junior today, with the third day of Block A. This is the last day of standalone action for Block A as after tomorrow’s event, both blocks will run together on all remaining tournament events.
Today’s event was held at Aomori Prefectural Sports Park Maeda Arena in Aomori and can be watched on demand on New Japan World in Japanese and English.
The announced paid attendance was 1720. Based on the layout and seating capacity of the venue, that was possibly a sellout.

Match 2: Shingo Takagi & BUSHI beat Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Master Wato. Takagi pinned Tenzan after Pumping Bomber.
