10 Must-See Matches At NJPW Best Of The Super Jr 29
8. Block A: Francesco Akira Vs Alex Zayne
Two of the best young high flyers in the industry, Francesco Akira and Alex Zayne will face off on 24th May at the legendary Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. This will be the opening match of the night, but who will be victorious when all is said and done?
Francesco Akira is the newest member of Will Osprey's villainous faction, the United Empire, and he is already making an impact. Hailing from Bergamo, Italy, and trained by Alberto Copler, Akira is a seven-year veteran at just the tender age of 22. He is quick on his feet and has been training with former BOSJ winner Osprey, who seems to be moulding this young man into the future of the business.
Alex Zayne on the other hand has been a part of the industry for at least a decade longer than Akira. Zayne is 35 but is just hitting his prime as a competitor, creating a buzz for himself in the last few years and even having a small excursion in the hallowed halls of WWE. Now Zayne is back, representing both GCW and New Japan Strong, The Sauce might become one of the best things about the A Block this year.
