[7/18 - 08/14]NJPW Presents: G-1 Climax 26

[jackswstd]

Tenzan vs Ishii was dope, these older cats can still go

 

[MightyHealthy]

Tenzan had a Hell of a match with Ishii!!!

 

[MightyHealthy]

TANA BACK
TANA BACK
THERE'S ALL THESE bytchES SCREAMING THAT TANA BACK

 

[stro]

They really dropped the ball with Omega since his big IC title win

Probably because they realized he's never going to be more than a comedy dude, much like the Young Bucks. The Omega push at the start of the year was a knee jerk reaction to do SOMETHING to make up for Nak/AJ leaving. Obviously did not work and they didn't stick with it, either.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Sanada is showing out, holy shyt!

Spoiler

HE MADE TANA TAP

 

[MightyHealthy]

Okada started cocky, Marifuji is putting him through the wringer now though.

I predict a draw.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Spoiler

HOLY shyt. Marifuji was allowed not only to kick Okada in the face thirty times, and get bigger pops, but also got a W too.

What a start to the G1!!!

My three must watch matches:

Ishii/Tenzan
Sanada/Tana
Okada/Marifuji

 

[MightyHealthy]

I'm throwing reactions to results in spoilers, out of courtesy.

One of the big questions I had for this year's G1: with so much talent gone...could NJPW still deliver?

The answer is yes. I'm hooked yet again.

 

[stro]

I refuse to believe Ishii/dead armed Tenzan put on a great match in 2016.

 

[TOAD99]

high chance we get another Tana/Okada match in the semi finals That match has happened way too many times.

Would be cool if we got an Okada/Shibata final but chances are slim

Gedo and his predictable ass booking

 

[KingBeez]

Where can I watch?

 

[Tanahashi Coates]

Didn't even get tagged for the thread I'll catch this later tonight

 

[Jmare007]

I wonder if Sanada or Marufuji get the mandatory "Day 1 upset"

.

what a shocking turn of events

 

[stro]

what a shocking turn of events

Almost as if Gedo is the most predictable and lazy booker going right now

 

[Jmare007]

Almost as if Gedo is the most predictable and lazy booker going right now

Yeah, it's as if we've been seeing the same shyt with no progression for 4 years

To be fair though, the G-1 is normally really predictable and Day 1 upsets are as old as the tourney itself.
