I put the show on this morning as soon as i woke up, caught the end of the Tama match and then saw the ZSJ magic....I don't think I've ever had a day start so wonderfully that soon

 

[Roy Mustang]

As someone who hates EVIL, that was fucking GOATed. Pure TEKKERS

Being serious:

Without watching last two matches yet but knowing the results:

A Block is between: Okada, JONAH, Archer and maybe Cobb
B Block is between: White, Tama and Sanada (i'm guessing Taichi is out)
C Block is between: Sabre, Tana, Naito and Goto
D Block is between: Fucking everyone?

I think final 4 are: Okada, Tana, Sabre or Naito, Ospreay or Shingo

 

[Chris]

Yeah its gonna be Zack or hopefully Naito (I've found myself cheering for him to win the block as the tournament has progressed) there. Lol at Block D

 

[Chris]

I think Block B is essentially only Tama and Jay White left realistically (some might not technically be out) and they fight last day so I think that'll just be a dub for Jay. Block A should be Okada the way its shaking out for sure

 

[Roy Mustang]

D block has the fucking Toyko Pimp at the top. Disgraceful. Low key want a 7 way tie at this point for banter. Yeah B block feels between Tama and White for sure. I think Tama gets some revenge to set up a title match. Okada feels obvious to win unless NJPW want to give an AEW or NJPW strong guy a final 4 spot. C I didn;t think Sabre had a chance but he has been by far my fav this G1 (which has felt kind of mid).

JONAH vs Okada is my match of the G1 (Until I watch my boy Tom Lawlor vs Okada)

 

[Chris]

I actually picked Sabre to win the Block before the tournament started I think I can't remember lol

Agreed its been mid this year, I think a lot is the scheduling tho. Especially early on when they were only doing 1 match from each Block a day, was such a slog

Tbf there were some days I outright skipped cause I looked and was like "I'm more interested in watching Main event than this shit".

Also can we replace Jericho with Archer on commentary. He was so good

Yeah I shockingly rate Archer over both Tom and ELP so far as the guest commentators lol he's really a natural you can tell he's just winging it, if he had time to like really prepare he'd be even better.

Also I actually think you might be right on Tama winning against Jay to set up the title match at power struggle or sometime soon now that I think about it. The story works out really perfectly, it's not a bad loss for Jay to take angle-wise and he'd get the win back anyway. I don't think Jay wins the whole thing obviously so he'd either have to take that loss or a loss in the semis or finals which if that's the case would more than likely be against his actual WK opponent

Only real complaint would be.....they literally had Tama beat Okada kinda randomly last year just to get a title shot at Power Struggle but this is much better angle-wise so I can forgive it

Yeah he felt so smooth and really sold the action well. ELP who I love was kind of like Jericho. Very annoying at times.

I forgot he randomly beat Okada as well .Yeah I can't see Jay winning the whole thing and unless it is Okada getting his win back in the semis to lose to Naito or Shingo, that feels weird to me. Jay losing to the guy he betrayed could be some fun storytelling for sure.

 

[Chris]

Yeah tbh the Tama/Jay singles match later and Jay not having to wrestle in the semis or finals (especially if he's still feeling them heatstroke symptoms) just sounds like easy booking and Gedo would be foolish to make it more complicated lol I'm not exactly hype for a second Tama/Jay singles match for the title but what do I know

 

[Roy Mustang]

Oh I'm not watching the rematch unless the first blows me away . I could even see Taichi getting a bye win to give Jay something to be pissed off about going in too. Who does Taichi have on the last day?

Taichi has Jay on Saturday and O-Khan on Sunday to wrap up his tournament. If I'm right, I think he can TECHNICALLY still be in but only if Jay White and Tama go to a no contest (not a draw) and get 0 points

TAICHI VS SABRE FINAL IS STILL ON . Tama can still win if Jay beats Taichi so Jay probs wins that if it happens. Unless they want Sanada alive on final day

 

[Chris]

After, Taichi’s loss to Tama Tonga in Hiroshima, the Holy Emperor is out, with hsi only hopes to tie at the top being if Tama Tonga and Jay White go to an unprecedented no contest at the Budokan.

This is from the preview for Saturdays show on NJPWs website so I'm right but also in this same preview right above this line they say Taichi is mathematically eliminated lmao bout to copy and paste the whole thing into this thread anyway tho
