When Kaito pins him in the g1

When Kaito pins him in the g1

I will love it, but also Okada is going the face like "What the fuck?! This punk pinned me?"

All 3 of those dudes better be in Okada's block

 

[Apoho Creed]

Alot of jobbers in this one but I'm happy seeing ELP and Kaito for the G1 Climax. Taichi or Shooter for the G1 Climax but neither will win and it will break my heart of course.

 

[Alexa]

If Kaito wins the G1...holy shit, man. Also, Marufuji could him Kaito pointers about Okada
