Best of the Super Juniors - wikipedia Best of the Super Juniors This article is about the professional wrestling tournament. For the South Korean boy band, see Super Junior. The Best of the Super Juniors ( often abbreviated BOSJ ) is an annual professional wrestling tournament held by New Japan Pro-Wrestling ( NJPW ), typically in May or June. Originally known as Top of the Super Juniors, the first tournament was held in 1988 with annual tournaments taking place since 1991. The wrestlers in the tournament are typically junior heavyweight wrestlers from promotions all over the world. NJPW has held 28 Super Juniors tournaments. Two wrestlers have won the tournament three times, Jushin Thunder Liger and Koji Kanemoto, while only one wrestler has won the tournament in two consecutive years as Tiger Mask IV won the tournament in both 2004 and 2005. Kanemoto holds the record for the most finals appearances, having wrestled eight finals between 1997 and 2009. Liger has participated in the most tournaments as he has wrestled in all tournaments except the 1995 and 2000 tournaments. His participation in the 2017 tournament marked his 26th and last Super Junior tournament. History and format The tournament was formed in 1988 by NJPW. It was originally called the Top of the Super Juniors. The tournament is a round - robin style tournament where a wrestler scores points. The winner, assuming they are not already the champion, receives an opportunity to wrestle for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship not long after the tournament is over. Since 2010, the title match has taken place at June / July 's Dominion event. In 1994, the tournament was renamed to the Best of the Super Juniors. Since 1996 the tournament has been divided into a two - block system used in many other puroresu tournaments. In this format the top two scorers in each block advance to the semifinals, at which point single - elimination rules take effect. During the round - robin portion, a win is worth two points, a draw is worth one, and a loss zero ; all matches have a 30 - minute time limit, though in the past it has been twenty minutes.

The points system at this time was different from today 's, though exactly how is unclear. The two wrestlers with the most points at the end of the tournament, Shiro Koshinaka and Hiroshi Hase, faced off in a singles match to determine the winner. The winner, Koshinaka, went on to win the Junior Heavyweight Championship from Owen Hart on June 24, 1988, after failing to win the title from Hiroshi Hase twice on March 19 and May 8.

Pegasus became the first foreign wrestler to win the tournament as a result. He also went on to challenge the champion Liger unsuccessfully on August 8.

The participants were announced on May 4 ; outside entrants included Kenny Omega ( DDT ), Máscara Dorada ( Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ) and Ricochet ( Dragon Gate ). For the first time in four years, the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion did not take part in the tournament as Kota Ibushi was concentrating on chasing the NEVER Openweight Championship. Alex Koslov dislocated his left shoulder in his first match against Ricochet on May 30 and was forced to pull out of the tournament, forfeiting all of his matches. Alex Shelley won block B of the tournament, but was forced to pull out of the semifinals after suffering a shoulder injury in his final round - robin match. As a result, Taichi, who had finished third in the block, advanced to the semifinals.

The tournament became known for a controversial match between Ospreay and Ricochet on May 27, which received widespread attention in the professional wrestling world with some, like William Regal, praising the two and others, like Vader, comparing the match to a `` gymnastics routine ''.
