BOSJ 29 is already shaping up to be a needed refresh for the junior heavyweight division and should interest fans from all across the globe with names like Ace Austin, Wheeler YUTA, Titan, and even Alex Zayne having their own distinct fanbases. Continuing to build their relationship with GLEAT is a positive sign as El Lindaman and El Desperado will get to clash in a match that both have been posturing for for some time now. LA Dojo graduate Clark Connors gets the nod to represent his school and may transition this into a proper full-time run in Japan if he impresses.
