HM: Jeff Cobb vs. Hirooki Goto - NJPW G1 Climax 31 Night 6 - 9/29

Good God Jeff Cobb is STRONK. Just powering Goto around like nothing, and Goto giving everything he's got to take down the man doing to him what he usually does to his opponents and see if he can finally stop the seemingly unstoppable.

HM: Tama Tonga vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi - NJPW G1 Climax 31 Night 6 - 9/29

Tama Tonga brought his working boots and the Ace is the Ace, and they had a shockingly good match and HOLY gently caress that ending was so, so, so loving good!

Will agree with HM. Adam Cole doing the NXT face stops it from being MOTYC. Hopefully he is deprogrammed

All from AEW Dynamite, 9/29/21


Adam Cole vs Jungle Boy was amazing stuff, maybe the best Jungle Boy match yet and that's a high standard.

The 16 man tag was a bit of a mess early on, but 100% earns this based on the story it told and the final sequence.

Miro vs Sammy was awesome, pretty much a perfect big guy vs little guy match. Miro looked like a monster, the turnbuckle spot coming back to haunt him was great, and Fuego helping his buddy without straight up interfering was a perfect extra bit of storytelling.

Tomohiro Ishiii vs Tanga Loa
- Big Tom doesn't have bad matches, even against the worst guy in the tournament. Tanga Loa showed more here than I thought him capable of, Jesus all these Bullet Club guys were good behind the interference all along

Kota Ibushi vs Toru Yano
- Maybe the best sub 5 minute match i've ever seen, it had maybe 5 spots before Kota caved both sides of Yano's skull in



Also Yujiro/BUSHI was good, defying all expectations from before the G1 began
