I was ready to accept an EVIL win, but this gave me hope. Gedo taught me an important lesson: never dream.

Props to Gedo for pulling it off yet again; it basically took hours for people to no longer think Hikuleo advancing was the worst choice he could have made this tournament

Doesn't matter how many years I follow or how many I take a break for, the man is absolutely consistent with his work as sure as the sun will shine somewhere :wow:

Tama Tonga wins and the crowd are like oh OK that means evil is going to win because shingo winning is too difficult to navigate.

Just before the match they announce oh don't worry we've got a plan for a tie. You will see shingo v tama tonight to decide the block if shingo wins. Crowd now get their hopes way up

Evil wins

I'm sorry but that's art

i kinda wish gedo went full sicko mode and had shingo kick out of the finish only for the match to go to a time limit draw

It's been a good G1 (far from the best, but far from the worst too), just tonight was a spectacularly bad main event/result that also unfortunately threatens more of the same bullshit to follow in at least one of the big Quarter Final matches.

The fact that the match had become a really entertaining clusterfuck in the last few minutes somehow only makes it worse

All the hope spots and faction warfare had brought the crowd to a fever pitch, so much so that the disappointment and confusion that followed was absolutely palpable

Tbh the crowds have been weird this g1. They've had a few real good ones like at Aichi and tonight. Where something like okada v ospreay I would say was probably a bit disappointing for the office

Missed today's show, sounds like Eddie vs Finlay is the only thing to watch? Going to miss tomorrow too, was looking forward to Naito vs Tana live but I forgot I already had plans to go see a movie! I'll catch it later and give it ALL THE STARS in my imaginary newsletter.

They make such a big deal out of how much he hosed up the tournament that I want to believe it's some kind of angle but I just... I just can't any more. I have reached the "Girl who ran into the ring and begged Kiyomiya to stand up for himself is now just sitting distracted on her phone while doing her nails" stage of fandom now.

I think NOAH as it stands are incapable of rehabilitation but that's more a reflection of how bad their booking is.

That said, Kaito, go to All Japan. Top of cards with Yuma, Kento, Anzai, Ashino, Honda, Nomura & Kaito? Hell loving yeah. Quick, someone find a money mark to throw cash at All Japan
same, but don't think he will do it :cry:

It seemed to me that Ishii got the crowd more into that match with Evil than anything I've seen in a HoT match post lockdown. I pray to Crom that Gedo doesn't interpret this as Evil being ready for another run on top.

Yup. His name was Giant Singh. And that match with Candido WAS really good
I survived the 2002 Gigante Singh vs Gigante Silva feud in CMLL, AMA.

Something exceptionally weird came from this ------ Shibata was on his excursion back then and at the anniversary show that year he teamed with Khali as part of a trio against Silva and his partners. For real, Televisa Deportes broadcast it and everything. Think it was Wataru Inoue, shocker and Doc that were the rest of the guys in the match.
