Tanahashi vs Natio (Winner goes to Finals)

The undercard is looking really good as well with The Young Bucks and Cody back in action after a few weeks off. Should be another fantastic show.

And like always, the first two undercard matches will be on their YouTube page which I'll link to once it starts

You're god damn right it is

Here is the free stream on YouTube for the first two matches -

You just might see someone die. Minoru Suzuki has three Young Lions to feed on
---

I have njpwworld. I'll be casting it on my TV as I lay down. Whatever I watch I watch.
---

Idk what feed you watch. I watch the English when available. This coming from a guy who typically watches subs for anime instead of dub. I love Cyrus aka Don Callis.

I like the Japanese guys better, but I still listen to the English version so I can keep up with storyline stuff, lol

I love Don Callis as well. Been listening to a lot of his podcast with Lance Storm
---

Suzuki, it's okay, these guys are the future. Don't kill them!
---

Looking real jacked, baby!
---

Stop hitting him so hard!

Fuck me, stop it!
---

Slapping the bronzer off him.

I'm not a big Kevin Kelly guy but I think he works off Cyrus well.

And that storm and Cyrus podcast is tremendous.

These shots can't be good for the brain.
---

I've watched every event of the g1. I'm shocked I have.
---

I see a lot of potential in Sanada but man I cannot stand that tie up knot spot he does. Spots like that always urk me.

I've watched every match as well. Been loving every second of it

Is this your first time with New Japan?
---

I'm not enjoying Rocky in the booth
---

Nah. I got it in November last year. Been watching some of the events. I got lost a little in April and got randomly sick in May so I missed the junior cup. Been watching every event since Dominion.

He does sound a little awkward right now. Maybe he'll get better as the event goes on.
---

Ugh there. That stupid spot.

When I was younger watching New Japan, I fucking couldn't stand the pin that Super Delfin did. So I get it

---

That bothers me too. With a pin like that aren't his shoulders technically up? Lol.

I guess not everything can be perfect as far as clean work rate goes.
---

Is there a reason there's on 3 matches booked for Sunday? I assume they'll book more when the tournament is officially done?
---

These matches are going quick. I'm assuming the tournament matches will be long.

Kojima is thick as shit for an Asian guy. Damn.

Yep, there will be more matches booked
---

This 10-man should be fun
---

I'm of the opinion, in order for njpw to expand into America they for one need to have way more English commentary and to have an American touring division with rotation. Rotate like 15 guys and they do shows in wrestling hot beds like New York Philly Chicago Toronto and LA. I'd like to see them success. Someone's gotta put WWE in their place. I'm sick of them. Lol
---

These guys are so talented athletically I just wish they'd exhibit more psychology and selling. Speaking specifically about guys like ricochet and the Young bucks. But like I said earlier not everything can be perfect.

I fully agree. I would even go as far as to say that I don't like The Young Bucks and Ricochet all that much. Highlights only, please

But many people do like them, so I don't mind them at all. Just not my cup of tea
---

Yeah. I feel the same way. They could be so much more if they incorporated the basics. You know it's like, a baseball player that can hit home runs but can't get you that single when you need it, so you lose that game. I'll take a .300 hitter with 20 home runs over 35 home runs batting .220 if you get my metaphor.


Fun match though.
---

That 0/5 Moonsault spot was pretty fun
---

Okay, here is our preview for the epic clash tomorrow!
---

Oh man muffin ass come to me plz.
---

Thoughts on Yano?
---

I'm not a fan of the shtick personally. Funny stuff has its place in wrestling but from a booking stand point idk how you can legit put him in the G1. Maybe it's a cultural thing I don't get since I'm not Japanese.
---

Love the story they're telling with Okada. He's working so hard to keep winning it'll eventually come back to haunt him. I'm pretty sure Omega is gonna win tomorrow. I wouldn't be shocked if he won convincingly.
---

Block match time!

But that's it for me tonight. I have to get some sleep
---

Finally. I hope it can end before 8 lol. I doubt it. But I'd like to be awake before 2pm eastern time.
---

Never forget Yuji Nagata vs Fedor and Mirko Cro cop.
---

Didn't see your edit. Catch you later. I'll watch a bit more.
---

No, I couldn't miss his last G1 match

I'm not crying
---

Hell of a night
---

I watched every match but fell asleep for Tanahashi vs Naito lol. I gotta catch that in a few.
---

I can't believe we're finally at Okada/Omega III tonight!
---

Yeah I watched. Great match. Part of me thought it'd go to a draw.
---

Half-hour before it starts!
---

Let's do this!

Like always, first two matches are free on YouTube -

---

I'm here I'm here. Here till I knock out again.
---

Taka Michinoku looks good. Them Japanese don't age.
---

She puts the climax in the G1

haha
---

I love Cyrus man. "some people eat rabbits you know",
---

ZSJ is an asshole and I love it. He's such a dick heel and should never be a face again
