Worth pointing out that not only is Tama's new shirt sold out but he's second only to Naito in merch ranking on the NJPW store

Main event was good.
Goto vs. Henare was solid.
Yano vs. Fale was short and about what you'd expect, both good and bad.
Depending on if you're interested in the aftermath of the Pieter storyline, there's stuff at the start of Ospreay vs. Yujiro.

Weirdly, the crowd kind of lost their minds and were making a shitload of noise during Ospreay and Yujiro.

he knows...

Lesser wrestlers have to be gone for three years or win a title in a 5 star match that takes months off their career to get a pop in the clap crowd era. Huge Yuj just creates a simple two night storyline of heartbreak and reunion in the middle of the G1 and doesn't have to take a single bump for it. Massive legend

Liked Goto/Henare, Henare has a mean kick

Tama/Ishii was great, too. The delayed sell spot was really good

Smile. Win. Yay!

Another 3-1 day for me, can't believe bastard Fale didn't let himself get counted out and kept me from a perfect score. I've been skipping the undercards to try and keep on top of my backlog, but all the block matches were pretty good, even Yano/Fale didn't outstay it's welcome for me.

Plus master storyteller Big Yuj was very good

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

They had a match in Warrior Wrestling recently which was quite underwhelming. Hopefully they turn it up for G1.

Really enjoyed the top two matches on the last show. 30th looks solid and maybe the 31st will surprise me?

Catching up: that Archer/Lawlor match was really fun. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Lawlor wrestle as an underdog like that. Even in his match against Moxley in DEFY he was on more even ground. I dug it.
