Very good match, loved the hometown crowd cheering for their boy, finish was great, storylines continue! This is the most interested I've been in the Pure title since like the mid-2000s when Chris Hero had it.

Just an HM for me because it was a cold match. Ending sequences were awesome though.

Do you guys not know what a cold match means? It means there wasn't any big build-up angle to it. Nothing to do with the crowd. They were rabid for their hometown guy and it added a ton to the match.

It was the third match in a sequence between these guys, who are in opposing factions in a broader feud. I don't know how it could have been built up further.

This is the young lions' first time performing in front of a vocal crowd and they really drank in the moment. They all got a chance to shine and they all got to go toe to toe with Suzuki.

HM: EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Murder Machine SHO & Dick Togo vs. Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI, YOH & The DKC

The House are so loving over. YOH is really coming to his own in this feud. There were some absolutely ridiculous spots. The DKC was probably the star of the match and it's amazing how quickly Korakuen have taken to him.

HM: Tetsuya Naito, SANADA & BUSHI vs. Zack Sabre Jr., Taichi & El Desperado

The very different dynamics between SANADA/Taichi and Naito/ZSJ carry this match, which is even better than the LIJ/SZKG match from yesterday despite switching Hiromu for BUSHI.

HM: Shingo Takagi & Hiromu Takahashi vs. El Phantasmo & KENTA

Great main event to cap off two wonderful nights of pro wrestling featuring one of the most creative ways to break up a pin that I've seen.


Fantastic show, probably better than last night. The crowd was louder. It felt like everyone was having even more fun. The angles were funny. Highly recommend the whole show.

Yeah agreed

This year's G1 sure feels like it's not at the same level as past years. I only started keeping a spreadsheet last year but after 10 nights I had 11 MOTYC & 10 HMs, this year I'm at 8 MOTYC & 10 HMs, so not a huge difference. But last year there was Shingo vs Ishii at *****, Tana vs Okada at ****¾, & both ZSJ vs Naito & ZSJ vs Shingo at ****½. This year Taichi vs Ishii is the best match through 10 nights, at ****½. Wish I'd kept a spreadsheet from earlier so I could compare to 2019 but definitely seems like there has been less stuff that's hit the top level.

The 4 block 28-man field really hurt it, there were too many people there just filling up numbers and it kept the best workers spread too thin so there were less big name matches

This is exactly how I felt. I had trouble tracking stories and kept forgetting who was in what block. I hope they go back to 2 blocks next year.

GEORGE W BUSHI

If they do stick with four blocks then go all the way to 32 so at least they can have four matches all from the same block per night (and some eight match double block nights) to make it easy to follow. 28 is a weird number

Also they scheduled it so you had no way of knowing how the blocks were actually progressing.

Yeah, when NOAH did 4 blocks last year they had a field of 16. And it was fine, it meant you only had to see 3 Kendo Kashin matches. If there were much bigger blocks of 4 that would have been interminable.
