Two members of the villainous Suzuki-gun stable are on their way to WCPW. October will see the arrival of Minoru Suzuki, the group's leader and founder, as well as the mysterious El Desperado.

Those familiar with the world of Japanese wrestling will already by familiar with Suzuki's uncompromising brutality in the ring. Always able to put on a fantastic (and often terrifying) show, he was a part of Wrestling Observer Newsletter's match of the year in both 2012 and 2014, against Hiroshi Tanahashi and AJ Styles respectively. The experienced grappler also has an extensive background in mixed martial arts, and was the co-founder of Pancrase (one of the world's oldest MMA promotions) back in 1993.

El Desperado is more of an unknown quantity, having only made an impression upon NJPW and Pro Wrestling Noah in the past couple of years - but what an impression it has been. The masked dervish is one of the most striking figures in the wrestling world right now, and his terrifying visage is matched by a destructive in-ring style.
