MOTYC: Ospreay vs ZSJ
HM: Okada vs Archer
HM: KENTA vs SANADA

The EVIL vs Tanahashi match didn't do much for me for some reason.

HM: Will Ospreay vs Zack Sabre Jr G1 Climax (7/30)
MOTYC: Kazuchika Okada vs Lance Archer G1 Climax (7/30)
HM: KENTA vs SANADA G1 Climax (7/30)
HM: EVIL vs Hiroshi Tanahashi G1 Climax (7/30)

i triple love zsj but brexit boy's silly poses annoy me more than archer's steiner-esque escapades entertain me. also it kept moving throughout whereas the evil match had the what seems to be typical "slow bit in the middle of an evil match" portion. kenta being a prick is still fun and sanada's finishers worked for a change but no paradise lock just nudges it for okada/archer for me. he made a child cry! and then okada checked in with him after the match!! top flight stuff. this was a really fine evening of wrestling!

Okada going over to check on the kid postmatch was the best :3:

Would have only been bettered if Okada had pulled Archer over at some point and let the little kid whack him

I could definitely see this ending up being a top 5 show this year. With number 1 almost certain to be Kobe Pro Wrestling Festival.
