    Not directed only at @Sign Language but yes directed at sign language too

    Imagine being a wrestling fan and not watching / not knowing about this tournament....I've never had more enjoyment out of pro wrestling than I have during this G1. A new level in regards to amount of quality matches. Never seen anything like it


    Here's to the finals hoping they wow me again! (I know they will)

    If I look at Kobashi and Misawa's best matches. That may be the only trilogy better than these three Omega/Okada matches.

    >>>>> Okada/Tanahashi & Taker/Michaels

    Okada and Tanahashi's best match imo, I don't remember if it was the invasion attack one or KoPW, is one of my top favorite of all time. Their rivalry was the first thing I checked out after AJ got me into NJPW. But as far as a string of three matches I give Kenny and Okada the upper hand.

    I've had family in the hospital, sorry the G1 wasn't my top priority.

    Also I'm getting ready to move so I've been busy with that.

    I'm just busting your balls man. I was lucky this fell during my summer break or else I wouldn't have got to keep up either.

    @NJPWBros Recently on Being The Elite they introduced a plot point were WWE sent BC a cease and desist letter banning them from saying f--- The Revival

    Take it for what it's worth but they were asked about it in the recent Q&A session and seemed to be serious when they said it is real and they can only say FTR now.




    I'm so pissed :ctown1:

    Imagine if Bullet Club invades WWE and ends up dethroning Vince & HHH as well. The thought of it alone is too sweet.:sweatt:

    @NJPWBros
    Threw a quick list together of my favorite G1 Climax 27 matches w/ the dates they took place for anyone who didn't get to follow the tourny. doesn't include Omega vs Okada from this morning cause I need to rewatch to form a full opinion -- on first watch it is my third favorite match of the trilogy (but still incredible). Also no matches from the finals as that is taking place tonight and should be a packed show w/ several title matches!

    There are a ton of 3.5-4* matches that are totally worth your time if you feel like watching a ton or just see some enticing matchups that I don't have listed here.


    Kota Ibushi vs. Tetsuya Naito July 17th ****3/4
    Kenny Omega vs. Minoru Suzuki July 20th ****3/4
    Kazuchika Okda vs. Michael Elgin July 22nd ****3/4
    Kenny Omega vs. Michael Elgin July 27th ****3/4
    Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Tetsuya Naito August 11th ****3/4
    Kazuchika Okada vs. Minoru Suzuki August 8th ****1/2
    Kazuchika Okada vs. EVIL August 5th ****1/2
    Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Zack Sabre Jr. July 17th ****1/2
    Tetsuya Naito vs. Tomohiro Ishii July 29th ****1/4
    Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kota Ibushi August 1st ****1/4
    SANADA vs. EVIL July 20th ****1/4
    Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Yuji nagata July 23rd ****1/4
    Kota Ibushi vs. Tomohiro Ishii July 23rd ****1/4
    Kota Ibushi vs. Zack Sabre Jr. July 21st ****1/4
    Yuji Nagata vs. YOSHI-HASHI July 17th ****1/4

    It's pretty clear that Okada is the tournament MVP....the guy is insane



    EDIT: HERE IS THE FINAL CARD 2AM EDT 13th

    KUSHIDA, Jushin Thunder Liger, Tiger Mask IV & Hirai Kawato vs. Suzukigun (Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Taichi, El Desperado & TAKA Michinoku) Eight Man Tag Team Match 20
    Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi vs. Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Roa) Tag Team Match 20
    Togi Makabe & David Finlay vs. CHAOS (Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI) Tag Team Match 20
    Satoshi Kojima, Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Juice Robinson vs. Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens) Six Man Tag Team Match 20

    The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) (c) vs. Taguchi Japan (Ryusuke Taguchi & Ricochet) IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship Match 60
    War Machine (Hanson & Raymond Rowe) (c) vs. Bullet Club (Cody & Hangman Page) IWGP Tag Team Championship Match 60
    Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi & Michael Elgin vs. Suzukigun (Minoru Suzuki, Zack Sabre Jr. & Takashi Iizuka) Six Man Tag Team Match 30
    CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano & Gedo) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA, EVIL, BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi) Eight Man Tag Team Match 30
