Here is your post-NJPW Fight Size update following The New Beginning in Hiroshima night one.
– Hiromu Takahashi and SHO made history in the main event, competing in the longest IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title match in history. The bout lasted 35 minutes and 38 seconds. Hiromu picked up the victory, retaining his title.
– Following the bout, El Phantasmo once again retired from commentary to try and attack Takahashi. BUSHI made the save with Taiji Ishimori also getting involved. ELP challenged Hiromu for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title. Hiromu agreed, but only if Ishimori and ELP were willing to defend the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles first.
Hiromu: Hey Phantasmo, why not? I’ll fight you with the title on the line, but on one condition. You and Ishimori but those tag belts on the line first! Come on, get out of here!https://t.co/jZU6JDbqn5#njnbg #njpw
