So Honma only beats Yujiro the final night is the easiest prediction I feel.

I said the same thing last year and it still didn't happen

Beat Shinsuke Nakamura in a main event upset this morning

Updated Standings (was going to try to wait until I caught up on today's first two block matches but twitter spoiled me):

The next show is tomorrow morning at the same time (5:30 EDT/10:30 BST). It will have full camera work and commentary like Night 1 had.

Friday- July 24th at 5:30AM EDT - 10:30AM BST from Kyoto Budo Center- BLOCK A DAY

Kojima, Liger, TMIV, and Komatsu vs Elgin, Dorada, White, and Finlay
CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii and YOSHI-HASHI) vs Bullet Club (Yujiro Takahashi and Cody Hall
Hirooki Goto and Captain New Japan vs Bullet Club (Karl Anderson and Tama Tonga)
Yuji Nagata, Tomoaki Honma, and Ryusuke Taguchi vs CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Gedo)
G1 CLIMAX BLOCK A MATCH Togi Makabe vs Bad Luck Fale
G1 CLIMAX BLOCK A MATCH Kota Ibushi vs Doc Gallows
G1 CLIMAX BLOCK A MATCH Toru Yano vs AJ Styles
G1 CLIMAX BLOCK A MATCH Katsuyori Shibata vs Tetsuya Naito
G1 CLIMAX BLOCK A MATCH Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Hiroyoshi Tenzan

On paper this might actually be the weakest night of the G1. Still, Shibata vs Naito could be excellent and YTR vs AJ will almost assuredly be fun even though it probably won't be good from a workrate perspective. Hopefully Tezan can recapture some of last year's form in a main event match against an elite opponent.

AJ and Tama Tonga are a real good team. Push Tama Tonga.

Super God spitting truth about Tama Tonga and the mediocrity of the show. Tama Tonga is BC A-team material and Mao YB is the true Bullet Babe.

I know the hard can setup up hurts my enjoyment, but I've been way more into house show matches using the same setup. Not a strong start for Block B.

I predict that Nakamura will win the next seven straight and wrestle a sweeping Okada to force a tie on the last day of the tournament.

I liked the last two matches, and to the lesser extent Honma/Nagata, but i wish they would have frontloaded the tournament a little more.

The alternating blocks may be better for the wrestlers and is definitely better for the gate, but yeah 10 packed shows was kinda cooler for the fans. The tournament should get better though

I tried to watch the show live but the fixed camera/no commentary/barely audible crowds basically made it a slog and I gave up halfway through.

I'll try to catch Okada/Elgin and Anderson/Nakamura when I get a chance, but those are both matches I'd far rather have seen with a traditional camera setup.

Yeah, the cam setup seriously impacts my enjoyment of the show. I watched all of the tournament matches in the day, but I didn't get into it as much as past show.

If you even try to throw to my side of the field in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.
I just finished up this morning's show and it was overall meh. I enjoyed the Nakamura/Anderson match, and was kind of surprised that Karl got the upset over my boy Nakamura but it is about time dude got a singles push. I also thought Elgin showed well in his singles debut in the promotion.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

I will say that Chaos girls cheering through the show was actually worth all the annoyance for her response when Karl picked up the win.

I need Japanese commentators screeching in terror as they witness impossible physical feats being effortlessly performed, dammit.

Losing the audio due to licensing issues is even more apparent on a show like this.
