For the first time in his New Japan Pro-Wrestling career, Taiji Ishimori won a singles title at Wrestle Kingdom 13.
His newly crowned title came at the expense of KUSHIDA, who won the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship at King of Pro-Wrestling in a four-man tournament.
Ishimori was able to hit the Bloody Cross and score the clean pin in another decent, but relatively short back-and-forth encounter. Ishmori is also the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team champion with Tama Tonga
and Tanga Loa. Check out some highlights from IWGP Jr. Heavyweight championship match:
