YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto Win NJPW World Tag League 2021
Goto wins World Tag League for the third time
Chaos' YOSHI-HASHI and Hirooki Goto won NJPW World Tag League 2021 today, defeating House Of Torture's EVIL and Yujiro Takahashi in the final at Sumo Hall.
House Of Torture tried their usual shenanigans, including interference from Dick Togo, as they looked to pick up the win. This prompted Tomohiro Ishii to make his way to the ring, though, and The Stone Pitbull took out every House Of Torture member he could find to even the odds.
The match then continued and YOSHI-HASHI blocked a Low Blow attempt from Yujiro while the referee wasn't looking and the two Chaos members hit a new tag team finisher on Takahashi for the victory.
With today's win, Hirooki Goto becomes a three-time World Tag League winner, having previously won the tournament with Karl Anderson in 2012 and Katsuyori Shibata in 2014. YOSHI-HASHI won the tournament for the first time today.
YOSHI-HASHI and Goto earned a spot in the final after picking up 18 points in block matches, only losing twice.
The World Tag League winner traditionally advances to Wrestle Kingdom to challenge for the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. The current champions are Suzuki-gun's Dangerous Tekkers.
