Next show is tomorrow at 5:30 EDT/10:30 BST yet again. Like most of these shows there's two matches that should be great on paper. Wednesday July 28th from Fukuoka Convention Center Mascara Dorada and Tiger Mask vs Jay White and David Finlay Nagata, Kojima, Taguchi, and Komatsu vs Bullet Club (MGKA, Yujiro, Tama, Cody) Honma, Elgin, and Captain vs CHAOS (Nakamura, Ishii, and YOSHI) (doubt Shinsuke will return for this but going off official listing) Hirooki Goto and Jushin Liger vs CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada and Gedo) G1 Climax Block A Match:Toru Yano vs Doc Gallows G1 Climax Block A Match:Togi Makabe vs Hiroyoshi Tenzan G1 Climax Block A Match:Katsuyori Shibata vs Kota Ibushi G1 Climax Block A Match:Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Bad Luck Fale G1 Climax Block A Match:Tetsuya Naito vs AJ Styles Wonder if the crowd's gonna cheer for Styles in that main?

oatgan posted:huge win for mike elgin In light of said massive victory putting Shinsuke in a massive hole even if he returns Saturday, it's gonna be interesting to see how they do this. I think it'd make sense for Okada to sweep his block and make the Finals on a huge winning streak before losing to Tanahashi. That would show that Tana's still in his head before Okada finally beats him in the Dome at WK10.

Would you really blow the tiebreaker (3-3-1 both sides) and Okada/Tanahashi 8 on an already sold out Sumo Hall?

Today I realised that the non-commentary shows have one real downside: You can clearly hear the wrestlers in the ring, and that unfortunately includes Honma. Seriously, when he's trying to catch his breath in between moves he sounds possessed. Yes I know, destroyed vocal cords from hardcore wrestling, but man, he is painful to hear.

You're gonna have to job Okada more now to have Shinsuke win though, and that's IF he's able to return Saturday.

If Nakamura doesn't return, I'd do Anderson and Ishii as the top two because any two of Ibushi/Styles/Tanahashi can beat those two (or lose to them) with little issue. Okada could lose 2-3 times and get his wins back at any 2-3 of the finals/Destruction/KOPW/Power Struggle.

This is true and follows the MO of many G1s, I just feel it's best to protect your champ as well as possible especially in this case when he just had his huge win against the #1 heel after being in a bit of a tailspin during the spring.

On the other hand, you get to hear AJ Styles lecture Tanahashi on how Tama Tonga is going to kick his rear end.

Shibata/Makabe was a pleasant flashback to the bomb-throwing sprints that were many of last year's G1's best matches. I think the matches getting more time this year has on average been worse for match quality. There's no good reason for matches like Goto/Yujiro to be going over ten minutes, either in or out of kayfabe.

there is no incentive to go out of your way to watch 3-4 hours of wrestling every other day when half the card has no implications on the tournament and half of the scheduled singles matches aren't so great on paper either. 2013 G1 had multiple shows of the year a couple days in, 2014 had lots of surprises and well rounded shows and this year has had maybe 2-3 truly good matches of note so far. I hope the August stretch is as good as it looks.

I always watch the undercard matches with the young lions because all of them are really good. That does mean seeing a lot more lovely Ryusuke Tamagotchi than I'd like tho

I'm kind of surprised how often they are letting Shibata win. They never do anything meaningful with him. I really like he could be a credible finalist, even if I know deep down he won't be. Infact, I would book Ishii/Shibata. That match would be my kinda poo poo.

shibata is currently my favorite wrestler to watch. i think okada and nakamura are "better" in the sense that they are so good at everything, but shibata is 100% unique. there hasn't been a singles match he's done that i didn't thoroughly enjoy. obviously some are better than others but i love everything about how he puts on matches. i'm still bummed out he and goto didn't get a longer tag title run and i hope he gets a real main event feud soon. or, they could just do shibata vs goto every other event because i love, love, LOVE their "we are best friends who love to punch each other sometimes" thing. i don't remember which show it was, but that one event that took place at that partly outdoor stadium where it was POURING rain on some of the seats, they had that match where they went at each other like mad the entire time, then at the end they carried each other out. one of my favorite things in wrestling ever. shibata and goto, fighting bros

Shibata is the only decent wrestler because his stuff looks legit (MiSu not withstanding).

I really like Shibata, but for my taste him and Goto bring out the absolute worst in each other.

honma is actually the best wrestler because he's the most sympathetic babyface in japan and possibly the world

Imagine Nakamura missing out on the rest of the G1, but only coming back so that Honma doesn't get a win this year. hahahaha what the gently caress yujiro beat nagata?! he's like the only guy besides Honma and Elgin to have 0 points.

Nakamura just RT/tweeted that he is off the show tonight too and is very sorry to everyone. Odds are he'll be out of the G1 entirely.
