Official NJPW G1 Climax 30 [9/19 - 10/18] thread UPDATE: MATCH CARDS SET!

[stro]

Curious to see how gassed up Ospreay looks, moves, and how it will change his work going forward. KENTA also looks to be in the best shape he's been in in like a decade, definitely since before his WWE run at least. This should be the first year in ages where everyone isn't already beat to shyt heading INTO the G1, so there's potential for some real classics.

NBA playoffs and G1 running at the same time is gonna be rough

NBA playoffs and G1 running at the same time is gonna be rough

To be fair, this would technically be viewed as a good problem, from an entertainment standpoint. We eating, breh.

That first night card looks pretty good. If Osprey ends up eating that first night upset L to Yujiro

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

They giving Osaka Shingo vs Okada.

Kobe Hall getting the PPV treatment.

Predicting Shingo and Yano with the day one upset.

 

[Jmare007]

@Sid Justice , can you post this in OP for quick reference?

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

You know what, in my Gedo mindset, I won't be surprised Okada beat Ibushi then turn around and lose to Yujiro.

Man, really interesting choices for a final day. Much harder than usual to predict the matchups that will work as "semifinals" because there are no heavy hitters facing each other. Instead they are all wrestling dark horses or people that are there just to spoil their chances.

It does seem evident that Ospray is either gonna get a huge push to get into the final day with a chance at the Finals, OR he's gonna get a huge W by spoiling Okada and fukking up his chances of getting into the last match of the tourney.


On B Block. Naito vs KENTA is a no brainer as a "semifinal". With Sanada vs EVIL as a darkhorse in case Naito and KENTA spoil each other. ZSJ vs Tana is also probably a match were one will spoil the other.
