G1 Climax B Block Match:Tama Tonga vs. Chase Owens
G1 Climax A Block Match:Lance Archer vs. Bad Luck Fale
G1 Climax C Block Match:Hirooki Goto vs. Tetsuya Naito

Main event should be good, I'm interested in Archer/Fale just for the spectacle and the strong chance it kind of isn't very good. Finlay, Yujiro and Chase though.... oof.

28-man field might make more sense next year when young lions are back and more foreigns want in.

Thought they'd probably extend it to 32 people just so Chase and Henare keep their spots

Just finished the show.

Kenta v zsj was excellent. I really liked taichi v ishii too.

The ME was also pretty reasonable but well below a normal shingo match. Thought the ending was very sloppy.

The other match well it was a yano match and I have major yano fatigue

I thought it was OK. Didn't deserve to be the main event and the finish was weird though.

I hope Jonah does more than just be a lumbering monster heel who is there to make other guys look strong when they throw him around.

Me too, but on the basis of his work on Strong so far I'm not hopeful. He's the member of his stable I'm least interested in, and this is a stable that includes Mad Mikey.

2-2 Today, already losing the plot. Taichi/Ishii and Kenta/ZSJ were excellent as expected, the other two were just fine. Definitely should have given Taichi final promo so Miho could vamp for longer

I watched the JONAH/Yano match and my partner laughed so hard at the finish.

I only caught the tail end of KENTA/ZSJ but it was pretty unique (also superior to their last G1 match, which people loved, but I personally found too long). KENTA should just slap the poo poo out of everyone

I just looked at the up coming line ups since i wanted to see when Filthy Tom's first G1 Match is, and some of the people will already be on their 2nd tournament match before he has his first?? That pacing of the tournament feels off

EVIL has this too. It's so weird. Before the undercards were released, I'd assumed Tom was getting in late or something

My favorite bit of pacing comedy was on first block show. After the ELP/Ospreay match, it was announced that ELP has his next match with Yujiro...and Ospreay also has his next match with Yujiro. Meanwhile, Yujiro's next match he's building up to is David Finlay

I am going to watch tonight’s show, but unless you lot tell me that a miracle occurred, I’m probably only gonna watch Kosei Fujita, Tomohiro Ishii & Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Juice Robinson, KENTA & Jay White. What a card.

It's not that kind of test.
Woof, when the preview tags all look more interesting than the block matches something ain't right. Goto and Naito could have a banger but it seems like a foregone conclusion.
