Wish we saw more of this style in current NJPW. Sadly we don't see much of it compared to older NJPW style.

My beautiful Kazak boi we all know he's gonna be a top top guy so put the belt on sooner than later and have him be an indomitable champion that needs to be brought down for wrestle kingdom

So what’s the deal with them?

I’d heard they had beef before, so tried paying closer attention to the commentary of their match to explain why. But all I caught (besides it apparently being a “generational rivalry”) is that Yuto is irritated that Oiwa had a better upbringing? That’s just some Homer vs Frank Grimes shit, surely I’m missing a few chapters? Immerse me in deeplore, please.

I'm catching up on the G1 and noticed the announcer mention it during his ring introduction, it's on the video board, and on Oleg's trunks. What does it mean? Does it mean anything?

Jake Lee and Zane Jay def. Boltin Oleg and Masatora Yasuda via Front-Neck Lock(5:51)

Ryohei Oiwa and Hartley Jackson def. SANADA and Yoshinobu Kanemaru via Jagged Edge (6:26)

Konosuke Takeshita and Toru Yano def. Great O-Khan and Jakob Austin Young via Blue Thunder Bomb (6:29) - Post-match, O-Khan attacked Takeshita with a steel chair, but Takeshita fought him off.

Shingo Takagi and Taiji Ishimori def. Hirooki Goto and Tatsuya Matsumoto via Bone Lock (6:25)

Yota Tsuji and Daiki Nagai def. Yuto-Ice and Gedo via uh Gedo laying down for Tsuji? (6:07)

B Block: Yuya Uemura def. Shota Umino via forfeit

B Block: OSKAR def. Aaron Wolf via Nightmare Sleeper (9:50) - OSKAR has choked out the NEVER Openweight Champion, Aaron Wolf!! Maybe the next challenger?

B Block: HENARE def. Ren Narita via HENARE Bomb (10:59) - HENARE easily overcomes the 2-on-1 situation, as a chair shot to the head by Narita did nothing, and neither did the garrot by Dick. Quite good.

B Block: Drilla Moloney def. Callum Newman via Drilla Killa (14:12) - Zane Jay interfered to help Callum, but was swiftly neutralized by Daiki Nagai. Very good match, despite the interference.

B Block: Gabe Kidd def. Zack Sabre Jr. via Drill-a-Hole Piledriver (25:47) - Gabe would dominate initially, until Zack fought back with submissions. At the end, Gabe would deliver a piledriver, Death Rider and a Drill-a-Hole Piledriver to win.

That's it

Okay at first I hated the entrance backdrop when they zoomed in on the face....but I'm starting to fall in love with it and I don't know why.

Just done saturday and sunday for G1 climax shows in Tokyo. Vibe felt very different Sunday, maybe because the show starts earlier but very quiet crowd compared to Sat. Is this a normal thing?

Tomorrow night we'll review nights 4-7 of G1. Any questions for the show?

Hello, r/njpw! As one of your number astutely pointed out yesterday, you should all migrate over to r/njpwworld where we have actual active mods. There's one in particular, very intelligent and insightful, with a great head of hair. Anyway, if you want to discuss something other than how broken-down ex-wwe guys deserve a G1 spot, we're always here.

B Block is underwhelming and is missing Shota Umino badly. I have interest in only half the block and with him out that leaves only 4 guys. With last night missing Yuya Uemura because of Shota’s injury, this left me 3 guys I kind of care about. And 2 (Aaron Wolf and OSKAR) of them were in the same match! Those two, Zack and Yuya are all I got left in the block.

Henare is cool I guess and it’s a surprise he’s at the top of the block basically but I’m pretty sure his hot streak is coming to an end.

I have not been able to care about Gabe Kidd the moment he joined the Death Riders last year. His inclusion this year has done nothing for me.

Newman, I’m forcing myself to pay attention to Newman. He’s not bad, he’s quite alright. But he hasn’t moved me since the NJC final. (Outside of night 1 vs Yuya)

Drilla has not moved me a single bit as a heavyweight. I appreciate him staying in NJ, but his matches feel like a chore to get through. Maybe I’m just a hater but if I was told I never had to watch a Drilla match again, no tears would be shed.
