NJPW issued the following press release announcing a new tag team matchup for the August 19th All-Star Junior Festival. BUSHI will be teaming with Shun Skywalker to take on YOH and Matt Sydal. Details below.
Unique is certainly a word to describe the All star Junior Festival, as matches and teams that few would think a reality appear before our eyes. That describes the latest addition to the lineup. BUSHI and Shun Skywalker will make some strange masked bedfellows as they face YOH and Matt Sydal on August 19 in the 2300 Arena. Can Skywalker, not known for playing nicely with others, co-exist with BUSHI in the face of highly credentialled opposition?
