[07/14 - 08/12] NJPW G1 Climax 28 - Match Schedule Announced

[TheGodling]

So MiSu's storyline for this G1 is that he completely destroys his opponents the entirety of the match where it seems it will be a squash only for him to lose to four moves at the end making him look like a complete loser? I don't see the genius plan here, Gedo. At least with Okada you can already see the monster run that's about to happen later in the tournament. And while Jay White might be great as a heat magnet, he's a very dull wrestler. I honestly believe he's only pushed hard because Gedo wants him ready as instant back-up the second Omega decides to ease out and cash in to WWE.

Can't wait for Yano's matches in Korakuen, dude is primed to trigger that magic once again in at least one of the two matches he'll have

As someone that doesn't care about spoilers for this type of stuff, do I really have to spoiler tag everything once I read the results?

Legit question, don't wanna fukk everything up for other people. But given that every day is streaming live and available to watch pretty much ASAP once it's done, I think this should be a spoiler heavy thread at least until the Budokan shows

NH but Sho & Yoh chest game is admirable AF

Nah, I don't think everything should be on spoiler tags. People who haven't watched aren't going to check the thread until they do, I think.

[MenacingMonk]

Can't recall seeing you in the threads.

I've seen you post in E related threads from time to time.
