Breaking injury news from New Japan: After jokingly blaming his DDT match today against Chris Brookes for having holes all over his body, El Desperado got serious and announcing he is headed to the sidelines. Meniscus surgery for an injury he’s been dealing with for 6 months. Out indefinitely but it’ll be several months. With the G1 CLIMAX now underway, he & the Junior Heavyweights get a few weeks off so it comes at a good time. Desperado has vowed to come back at 100% and reclaim the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
