Get ready for some peanut-butter-in-your-chocolate crossover between lucha libre and puro, because CMLL and NJPW have teamed up once again for Fantastica Mania.
This year’s tour has four shows that will air live and in full with English commentary on NJPW World, so why not watch along with the best pro wrestling community on the internet?
Today’s action takes place in Tokyo’s legendary Korakuen Hall, kicking off at a ripe 5:30AM Eastern / 2:30AM Pacific, and is headlined by the first round of a tag team tournament pitting CMLL’s top families against one another.
