New Japan ran Day 3 of CMLL FANTASTICAMANIA 2023 today, running the first half of a 4-team mini-tag team tournament as the featured attraction.
Today’s event was held at Osaka Municipal Central Gym Sub-Arena in Osaka and can be watched on demand on New Japan World. All these events are available in Japanese AND Spanish…puroresu in espanol? Bueno!
The announced paid attendance was 962, which reportedly was a legit advance sellout.

Match 2: Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito beat Yoh & Capitan Suicida. Takahashi pinned Suicida with Unnamed Hiromu Roll.
Match 3: Sho, Barbaro Cavernario & Templario beat Kosei Fujita, OKUMURA & Hiroshi Tanahashi. Sho pinned Fujita after a cross-arm piledriver (that sounds an awful lot like Shock Arrow).
