New Japan World Tag League 2019 Update11/23/2019 One of the biggest parts of New Japan's calendar is their yearly tournaments starting with the New Japan Cup in March then Best of the Super Juniors in June to the busy month of August with both the G1 Climax and Super J Cup both taking place in this month. Following that things are quite until November which is where we are at now with the last tournament of the year being World Tag League. The tournament actually started last weekend and it is by far one of the most unique tournaments in wrestling as there is nothing like anything we see in American wrestling. Check below who was included in the tournament:
The amount of talent in this tournament is incredible and just shows how deep the New Japan is for one and how serious they take these tournaments. Remember in WWE when was the last time you saw a main event talent in a King of the Ring it's been a while, but yearly the IWGP World Champion is in the G1 Climax. In this case Guerrillas of Destiny are the IWGP Tag Team Champions and are in the tournament and currently aren't leading in the standings with four points. Even though some might question the booking in reality they have the least amount to prove in the tournament and could help improve the tag scene in NJPW. Either way keep an eye out for any news about this years tournament which comes to an end on December 6. Current Standings: Tournament Continues 11/23/19 (Click Here for More Information)
