Oooh, will try and peek this if I can. Always randomly check out matches from the G1 the past few years and they've always blown me away pretty much.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Pretty please New Japan make a new winner of the G1 Climax that hasn't been one for before. How many times guys like Okada, Naito, or even Ibushi be the winners of this constantly and us as viewers care about the win and run. I want something new the gates are being open so hopefully this time around they new people in there enough of the Yano antics clogging up the bracket or Fale slothing his way through Matches let's get back to business. Shingo, Taichi, hell if Shibata is ready throw him in there. I just want to see something new.

[Comrade Khan]

Very dissapointing cast. Archer being the only non njpw is underwhelming.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Seems like Okadas to lose as well

 

[CakeWalker]

Can only imagine TK has unreasonable demands for talent - or there was never a real conversation

 

[Comrade Khan]

Didnt know you knew him personally

And considering yuta went and jobbed youre likely wrong.

Either way, no ibushi, no danielson, a bunch of njpw us guys that have no shot at winning. Big meh to me. Only intetesting thing is El P .

 

[Comrade Khan]

Wouldnt be so bad if Jay White didnt beat okada making it very obvious (to me) its gonna be okada winning it n getting his title back at WK. Pretty standard njpw booking. Mb ill b surlrised though

 

[CakeWalker]

The line up is actually great lol - just expected more AEW guys.

And I know him very well - ive spent my whole like surrounded by Fulham stooges. Typical FS behaviour

 

[CakeWalker]

Yano the only jobber - actually quite well done by the booking team.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Its the same cast as usual as far as im concerned minus Ibushi + jonah. Its not just aew ppl either, they could have had impact and noah folks too so ya i personally find this very weak when they just had a star studded bosj. Its a let down for me.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Yano the only jobber - actually quite well done by the booking team.

Fale, yoshi hashi and takahashi say hello.

N yano isnt a jobber hes mr g1

 

[CakeWalker]

Fale was literally the IWGP Tag Team Champion.
Takahashi also a Never Openweight Champion
Yoshi-Hashi midcarder at worst

literally no jobbers

 

[CakeWalker]

first time four blocks since 2000

i am loving this to be honest - 100% motivating me to watch again
