I am once again predicting Tetsuya Naito to win the G1.

Last time Shingo Takagi wrestled Zack Sabre Jr. was in wXw in 2009 in the 16 Carat Gold semifinal. Shingo went on to beat Drake Younger in the finals of that tournament lmao

Just an extra reminder for people who may have skipped over it in Thauros's post and especially for Jerusalem who forgets it every single time but it's a Sunday so the show starts in ONE HOUR.

I think Taichi/Goto is actually one of the weaker pairings for both men in ring which is a shame because a) they're both great and you'd think they'd pair off well and b) their characters play off each other well. I thought it was a good match in spite of that and think they'll both have better matches throughout the tournament. It's a shame Taichi's best opponents are in the other block though

Once again my prediction that Naito will win the G1 falls flat

Veryslightlymad posted:I know Shingo's in that block, but I have to feel like Naito leaving and Ibushi winning the last two G1s means that there's room for them to get weird with the block winner. Gimme an Ishii or Zack finalist, you coward. https://twitter.com/thesuperjcast/status/1440194305579118592?s=19 Make lemons out of lemonade imo e: i totally hosed that up but won't change it because it made me laugh and is more accurately describing what NJPW does recently

ZSJ's next match being Shingo is pretty perfect for this situation though. You've got the angry champion going up against the cocky prick who just put his best friend on the shelf.

The commentators keep saying everyone gets 2 points from Naito forfeiting but that is WRONG. Only Tanga has those two points because there's still a chance of a double forfeit which is 0 points each.

So there are two new referees. This is Taito again.

SANADA vs Tama Tonga somehow being a great match is a sign that maybe this cursed G1 is also simultaneously blessed.

There was a high school kid on my train telling his friends that Zack beat Naito and Shingo so he is "of course" going to win the G1 and I wish I could go back to thinking about pro wrestling like that instead of how it would be bad business to run that match in the Tokyo Dome or whatever.

Here is Zack Sabre Jr.'s fantasy booking for WK16 Night 1: Dangerous Tekkers successfully defend the tag team titles in the main event Night 2: ZSJ defeats Will Ospreay to shut Ospreay up for good in the main event Night 3: ZSJ once again defeats Shingo and becomes Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion in the main event Then his first challenger will be Bryan Danielson who he will beat (presumably in the main event of some other show) https://twitter.com/okamotospo/status/1441210365363163140?s=19

Burn Down Canberra posted:I think they realised there are so many bc dregs that if if was all nonsense it would get pretty miserable The Tama Tonga promo they show at the start of shows is him apologising for his last G1 fwiw. It's funny that Yujiro is wrestling basically clean and beating Ibushi while EVIL has to cheat to beat YOSHI-HASHI. HOT has its true ace.

Am I crazy in saying B Block shows have been higher quality than A Block show. I'm not expecting them to be able to keep up with main events after already doing Okada/Tana but the undercard matches have been better, right?

Jerusalem posted:I know it's understandably a low priority, but is there a proposed timeline on when vaccination levels are high enough and COVID numbers low enough that we can start having proper crowd noise again? Vaccination levels passed the USA's today. Tokyo had 235 cases after having 4000 again. Japan is less cavalier than the US or UK but there's an election in two months and I think "everything back to normal" just before it might be how things go.

Jerusalem posted:Please God let us have a proper crowd for Wrestle Kingdom The crowds not making noise thing is a promotion/venue decision as the only thing the government is asking for is to stop selling alcohol and events capped at 50%/5000.
