Former IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions, Jushin Thunder Liger & AKIRA, ventured into Big Japan today to challenge power fighters Daisuke Sekimoto & Mammoth Sasaki for the BJW Tag Team Title. Both of the heavyweights have plenty of experience against big leaguers, Sekimoto having had that somewhat unsuccessful series against Nakanishi and Mammoth representing Apache Army against GBH, and it showed as they scored a big win. Sekimoto pinned AKIRA, but Liger wasn’t satisified and challenged him to a singles match next year! Sekimoto accepted, so a match against Liger is likely to be booked some time soon.
