Man, even aside from the fact that Vince can't make up his mind on a winner, a WWE G1 would be a shitshow of awful non finishes to keep everyone on parity. At least when the G1 keeps the scores close it's through solid matches with clean(ish) finishes that generally make the winners look great and losers look valiant in defeat.

This of course reminds me of a great Observer Radio segment where dave starts booking the TNA tournament like it was done by Giant Baba or whatever.

Omega beats Okada with a rollup when Naito's music distracts him.

Why not go the reverse and book a G1 like TNA!

Anyway I don't think we'll get any run ins tomorrow. g1's finals tend to be clean and I think they want Naito/Kenny to be the next big feud till we get Kenny/Okada again in the second half of 18. But given that Naito/Kenny was great last year this final should be great

Edit: Also in any other year Naito/Tanahashi or Ishii/Okada would be in running for feud or match series of the year but it won't even sniff it this year

Hey, so greatest matches, we live in the golden age, life is good. Quick question though. Was that a loving Tiger Driver goddanged 91 Kenny did? Because I leapt out of my chair thinking that would be the finish. Neck damage all day and then they go and do THAT.

Man, Okada's style in and of itself isn't very dangerous. He doesn't do any neck drops except his tombstone, which is really easy to pull. He doesn't do any crazy dives, the closest is his over-the-barricade crossbody. But he's more dedicated than maybe any wrestler in the world to making his opponents look like absolute killers in the ring, and that means that anyone he fights with a hard-hitting style is going to legit brutalize him in their matches. It's definitely got me anxious, and hopefully he gets to spend the rest of the year mostly coasting in multi-mans and healing up

Taichi can do his entrance, then just leave the ring and go to the back. It's best for all concerned.

Was Callis bullshitting there or was that the massive thing for 2018 that the Bucks have been playing coy about (some kind of collab with HBO)?

I turned the stream on 15 minutes late(I thought it started at 2:30) and from what I saw from the end of that first match I feel like I might've already missed the one of the best parts of the show.
