– Also at today’s NJPW event, Taichi and Zack Sabre Jr. failed to regain the tag team titles against Guerrillas of Destiny. G.o.D. won the match by DQ. However, Taichi did manage to retrieve his iron fingers. Taichi was so worked up that after getting the fingers back, he almost attacked Kanemaru. You can view some clips from the matchup below:
