God forbid wrestling fans don't have hypocritical double standards when it comes to different companies.

I don't get how I was being hypocritical but whatever you say. I'm all for fun in wrestling no matter the company.

Daryl's not dead. He'll reform as a much bigger Daryl and will headline the January 4 Dome Show in a "Rip Your Opponent To Shreds Match."

Finally caught up. Rest in Peace Daryl (don't want to shorten that, it brings up too many bad memories of what that monster did to him). I never seem to learn. Kids, don't fall more than a day behind when watching the G1. You will hate yourself for it. I fall for it every year.

I say this all the top, but I feel it should be mentioned once again: Juice Robinson is putting in some motherfuckin work. Whether it's the tags or the actual G1, he is damn near flawless every time. He does all the basics of wrestling really, really well, and he does a lot of subtle things awesomely too. His work ethic is just mindblowing. I'm sticking with my original theory that he will beat Okada in their tournament match. Especially when Okada himself is giving such praise to him: https://411mania.com/wrestling/kazuchika-okada-says-juice-robinson-is-the-future-of-njpw/

I'm a little behind on the G1 Climax but so far from what I've seen my favorite matches have been Naito/Ibushi, Omega/Tonga/ and Okada/Elgin. I've also enjoyed the performances of guys like Juice Robinson, Evil, Sanada, Suzuki, and Zack Sabre Jr.

The rumors going around are Naito/Omega for the final, which I'd be good with. If it were to go that way I'd see Naito pulling out the win and taking on Okada at Wrestle Kingdom next year while Omega will get Kota Ibushi.

If Omega doesn't get okada and beat him at wrestle kingdom he should bail.

Omega gets Okada in the G1 and he'll probably beat him there finally. I don't know if he'll get him again at Wrestle Kingdom but I'd be down for it if Kenny comes out on top in the G1 but he won he last year so I doubt he'll win it again.

Omega should be their babyface champion imo.

I agree that he should be, he's over big time with the fans. He does have the IWGP US Title right now but I agree that he should have been the top champion by now.

Every year I forget how all encompassing this tournament can be... wow... I guess I should have known that Omega/Okada III would be a deciding match for block B... but looks like we're getting Omega vs Tanahashi... I couldn't imagine they will do Omega vs Naito, although I would like to see it.

Agree about Juice and really wish he would have gotten a better shake in the tournament.

So Naito vs Omega. I guess I won't completely know who I want to win until the match happens. I would like Naito because I'd frankly like to see him in the main event at the Dome Show vs Okada. After the whole Omega and Okada feud this year, it would be nice to see the rematch at the Dome Show and have Omega win it.

I guess I'm leaning toward Naito though.

I'd personally prefer Naito to win it. Omega is already getting his title shot regardless, and I don't want the "historic first US Champion" to have to just vacate the belt, and if he's gonna be Heavyweight champ, it'd be almost dumb to have him lose a match before his shot. I'm still shocked (yet estatic) that my boy Juice got a win over him. I believe that since Juice did what Okada was unable to do, that makes him the best in NJPW right now, right? :D I just really want Naito to win this thing, 100%, and I'm gonna honestly be upset if Omega takes it.

We don't necessarily need spoilers and you won't get in trouble for not using them. I was just trying to be polite to anyone who might have yet to watch it :)

And Yeah, I think I am closer to agreeing with you about what I want to win.
