A Block Preshow discussion and preliminary tag edition G1 Climax night 7 Ablock(night 4) RIGHT NOW IT IS 9 PM EASTERN. ON AT 5:30 AM EASTERN 7/20 THATS 8 AND A HALF HOURS FROM NOW Watch on taima dot tv/r/woooalt for english commentary Watch on taima dot tv/r/wooo for japanese commentary. Match Card >Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi and BUSHI(LIJ) vs. Tomohiro Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI and Ren Narita >Jay White, Yujiro Takahashi and Chase Owens(Bullet Club) vs. Jeff Cobb, Tomoaki Honma and Toa Henare >Taichi, Minoru Suzuki and Yoshinobu Kanemaru(Suzuki-Gun) vs. Hirooki Goto, Toru Yano and Yuya Uemura(CHAOS) >Jon Moxley and Shota Umino vs. Juice Robinson and Yota Tsuji >Zack Sabre Jr. (0-3) vs. Bad Luck Fale (1-2) >Hiroshi Tanahashi (1-2) vs. Lance Archer (2-1) >KENTA (3-0) vs. EVIL (2-1) >Kota Ibushi (1-2) vs. SANADA (1-2) >Kazuchika Okada (3-0) vs. Will Ospreay (1-2)
Minor Story stuff for those who dont know and are interested. >Minoru Suzuki and the rest of Suzuki-Gun have been wreaking havoc in the prelimin tags due to Suzukis omission from the g1 tournament. Suzukis out for blood and has named Okada as someone who needs to watch his back. Suzuki-Gun (with Minoru Suzuki) is undefeated in tags. They look to continue this tonight. >Moxley beat Shota at Dominion, he kidnapped his fallen foe as a for of respect. Now shooter and mox partner with each other as Moxley continues to mentor Shooter. >Zack Sabre Jr. Is in full blown rage after losing all 3 of his g1 matches so far. Coming up short in losing efforts against SANADA, Kazuchika Okada, and in a match against the then winless Hiroshi Tanahashi. Fale upset EVIL but lost to Lance Archer and Kazuchika Okada. Can Zack vanquish the fat fuck or will Zack hang himself by the time the climax ends. >Hiroshi Tanahashi is in the whole tournament the man who has had the longest combined match times. He lost against Kazuchika Okada, KENTA but finally getting his win against fellow winless Zack Sabre Jr. EVERYBODY(except KENTA) DIES when they go up against Lance Archer. Archer has defeated Will Ospreay and Bad Luck Fale. Will The one true ACE of the Universe continue his momentum or can ACEs die? >KENTA is one of two people who are undefeated after beating Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Lance Archer. Evil lost his first match against Bad Luck Fale but is riding high with two strong wins against Kota Ibushi and SANADA. Will KENTA stay undefeated or will he become the next big name to fall to EVIL.
Juan Jenkins
>Kota Ibushi recieved an ankle injury against KENTA, its been a target since then. His most recent match almost went 30 minutes against an injured Will Ospreay. Kota Ibushi and SANADA both sit at 1 and 2. Kota Ibushi SANADA beat Zack Sabre Jr. Opening night but has been on a losing streak in matches against Will Ospreay and EVIL. On the flip side Kota finally picked up a win against Will Ospreay after losing to KENTA and EVIL. Will SANADAs bad luck finally turn around or does fortune favor Kota Ibushi? >Kazuchika Okada is one of two men in this block who are undefeated beating Hiroshi Tanahashi, Zack Sabre Jr. and Bad Luck Fale. Will Ospreay won the best of the Super Juniors and is the Jr heavyweight champio. Sitting at 1 and two losing to Lance Archer opening night beating SANADA and losing his most recent match against Kota Ibushi. Will ospreay is dealing with neck issues and had a hellacious match. Can Ospreay overcome his injuries and finally beat Okada or will Kazuchika Okada's rainmaker reign supreme.
Go to sleep anons so you can start yout badass weekend saturday early with some g1 climax kino
I am watching the episode right now. Will post my thoughts in the game thread
David Cruz
It's weird that Moxley isn't wresting Shingo in the undercard before their match but I guess it's because LIJ don't have enough wrestlers for two undercard matches

I spent like 15 minutes working on the op 3 posts. The least you could do is read the thread subject and the first two lines of the original post.
Christian Parker
Thanks man.
Sorry Mate
Ryan Robinson
>Zack Sabre Jr. (0-3) vs. Bad Luck Fale (1-2) Can't pick a winner here I don't see Zakku going 0-4 but I don't see Fale submitting either. Maybe Fale gets dq'd. >Hiroshi Tanahashi (1-2) vs. Lance Archer (2-1) Go Ace! >KENTA (3-0) vs. EVIL (2-1) KENTA with another win, let's hope the match isn't too bad >Kota Ibushi (1-2) vs. SANADA (1-2) Ibushi got this, that match should be great >Kazuchika Okada (3-0) vs. Will Ospreay (1-2) The Jr. Heavyweight champ beating the hebbyq champ would make the crowd pop hard. On paper this should be MOTYC.
Jeremiah Cook
Could this be Fale's last year? Are they gonna have him give some people big wins?
Owen Reed
skipping this one, looks like an absolute snoozefest
Elijah Phillips
You're welcome It's alright. Get some rest. After tomorrows show we get a few days break then the action picks up with night 8 B Block night 4 on Wednesday 7/24 also at 5:30 AM Eastern

OP Here >Zack Sabre Jr. (0-3) vs. Bad Luck Fale (1-2) ZSJ >Hiroshi Tanahashi (1-2) vs. Lance Archer (2-1) GO ACE >KENTA (3-0) vs. EVIL (2-1) Fuck it I know KENTAS gonna win but I am going with EVIL >Kota Ibushi (1-2) vs. SANADA (1-2) Kota Ibushi >Kazuchika Okada (3-0) vs. Will Ospreay (1-2) Okada though I want Ospreay to win. I enjoy tag matches but I only really want suzuki-gun to win their match as well as shooter and mox.

my picks for todays G1; >ZSJ >Tana >KENTA >Ibushi >Okada I'd be happy with Ospreay, SANADA and EVIL all winning their matches too though.
The Time is 11:00PM EASTERN. 6 AND A HALF HOURS UNTIL SHOWTIME. SHOW STARTS AT 5:30 AM EASTERN 7/20
Robert Ross
Ospreay vs Okada has actually not been blow away great both times its already happened. Their Anniversary match was really good but not great, and their NJC match was marred by the fact that Okada had to work twice more after it and couldnt really go all out.
Jeremiah Robinson
Though I’m a B-Chad, thinking I’ll just keep cycling caffeine and booze until bell time and eventually pass out at 8:30 am ET
the last 2 matches and the tana/archer matches should be good not as good as the Best Block machine tho
William Nelson
wtf I want to die too
Owen Davis
No man dont worry its ok. EVERYBODY dies.

Reminder if you want something to watch tomorrow Dragon gate is having a massive show with English commentary for the first time might fill the G1 void for one of the days we have off
Evan Lee
>Jon Moxley and Shota Umino vs. Juice Robinson and Yota Tsuji
Weird logistics to get this one this card. They're going to do it again before their match at B block finals only with Narita in place of Tsuji.
Kayden Robinson
I am a NJPW novice almost done with my first year. Fuck wooo I just dont know any other links besides taima although I guess you are right I should link to njpwworld is that the link for future notice? If you want to post the links to both njpw and cozy I will gladly add them. I am about to go to sleep. The show will start in 4 hours and 20 minutes
Last years G1 already had 5 stars at this point but this G1 as a whole is a lot more consistent and entertaining. The weakest link is literally half of A block.
Noah Taylor
My sister woke me up an houd after i fell asleep, she went to the bar tonight so she decided to call me to let me know she got home safe. Been tossing around since. 1 hour 40 mins until showtime.
Jaxson Campbell
Does she look full?
Isaac Powell
I love being a Yuro, comfy In bed after a week at work watching G1.

>waiting for the show to start >has start time in GMT >it's BST right now Fucking Japanese, what good is having a timezone that literally nobody in the world is on right now?
Gavin Harris
It's awesome for Australians.
Aiden Kelly
Huh?
Asher James
How will Kenta do tonight? Will he finally put in a good performance, or will he flab around picking up the win while the audience chant for the other guy? Kenta solutions are also welcome if you have any. Mine is that he should start doing a Kentaroonie, I think it would tie his character together nicely.
Kenta needs to pick a personality and stick to it. He's a heel one minute, a tween another, and kissing Tana's ass as a face in the other.
Julian Gutierrez
google a time converter you simp
Matthew Stewart
Shouldn't we be live now?
Isaac Gonzalez
22 minutes.
Landon Bennett
That's not the problem, BST is just GMT+1, the problem is i'm not a fucking temporal nerd who instantly thinks it's wrong when they give us the wrong timezone for the time of year.
Nolan Sanders
Yeah I misread the OP. Can't wait for tonights matches

Doing good. 3 hours of my shift left, made a fresh cup of coffee and ready to watch in taima
Jaxson Powell
Anyone else from England feel like ZSJ is faking his accent? He sounds like such a mockney to me, it sounds really awful. Nobody talks like that.
David Bailey
he's a marxist, nothing about that boy is right

Oh I am making it through the whole thing. These are my predictions
How many young lions will die if Minoru Suzuki suffers his first loss in the g1 personally to Yano. Now I get to here Rocky gush about Jay White jobbing. Based

Xavier Bennett

William Brown
The more i watch NJPW the more I enjoy the young lion matches desu.
They are pretty based.
Easton Adams
one of the reasons I think Takeover as a faction would not work is that they would have too many singles guys, Kenta, Gota, Maybe shibby if he isn't kill, also the LA Dojo guys wouldn't be able to tag with any other faction besides them
Thomas Reyes
Yano can't trick Suzuki like he tricked everyone else in the G1 brother
Mason Myers
I Like this young lion, he doesnt afraid of Minoru Suzuki.

>“…After returning home from the restaurant, the couple got into an argument, with Honma reacting quite violently to her. Ichiki, believing that she went too far, attempted to bow to Honma on her knees to plead for forgiveness (a Japanese gesture to express deep shame for one’s actions). Ichiki claims that Honma then kicked her upwards in the head when she knelt down. >Ichiki’s mother happened to be present at the scene, and tried to bow with her daughter to make Honma stop. Ichiki claims that Honma does not believe violence is bad. Honma, upon seeing Ichiki’s mother bow to her knees, is said to have shouted: ‘How the hell did you raise your kid this way?’ >…Ichiki claims she had previously been dragged through the hallway and had her head struck, losing consciousness. Even though Honma has immediately apologized with tears after such episodes of abuse, promising that it wouldn’t happen again, the violence was a recurring event in the household. They have called the police before to deal with their issues. >…Ichiki is considering splitting up with Honma. The deciding factor for wanting to split was not the physical abuse, but Honma’s verbal tirades. Ichiki finds it difficult to say goodbye to a man she had lived with for 18 years. They both own a dog they both cherish, but Ichiki claims Honma has even shouted at the dog, threatening to take the dog to a shelter. She cannot stand Honma treating their pet like that.”
Honmamania runs wild

Samuel Campbell
I haven't been watching New Japan long. What is their obssession with using so many wrestlers in these huge tag mtaches? Is it just so everyone gets a go?
Leo Robinson
He's got kids as well and has lived in Japan for ages. And I thought he was like 20
Jack Sanders
It's so the people in the upcoming G1 matches can face off, and so you can see the stars not in the block that night. They all want to see Naito for example. Sometimes a tag match pin can lead to a title shot as well, but less so during the G1.
Gavin Nelson
Tradition. Everyone is on the tour bus anyway
Zachary Turner
More or less,there's a also a title for 3 vs 3 matches and faction stuff
Camden Hughes
is it true naito has serious neck issues
Jaxon Evans
BUSHI getting the pin. Now for my favorite part of commentary. Rocky Romeros consistent shitting on BUSHI
Parker Gonzalez
Moxley made Ishii look weak last night and it's still bugging me.
Wyatt Taylor
in NJPW and most japanese promotion they will have a bunch of tag matches to get everyone on the card with 2 or 3 big matches at the bottom and singles young boy match at the start. outside of bigger shows. they noramlly advance stories and give people pins who need them. but in the g1 they can be a bit tedious
Anthony Parker
what y'all eating for breakfast? for me, it's 2 spicy pork sausage patties, a hunk of pepperoni, no pulp OJ with pineapple, and Snyder's potato chips

Doe Shingo have a stable contract with New Japan or is he a freelancer?
Tana vs Lance has the potential to be EXTREMELY based

god lance archer is so based
Aiden Gomez
Quick question since I don't know the history of NJPW, where does Chono rank all time in the promotion?
Grayson Taylor
Archer has legit been the standout of the G1 so far, had no idea he was this good. Give him the US or IC strap Gedo. EBD!
Robert Scott
Best music
Jace Wood
based ty fuck watchwrestling
Sebastian Fisher
tana should cut some weight, it might even help his knees
Aaron Sanchez
a-fags, ladies and gentlemen.. a-fags.
Angel Perez
He's legit a bigger Karl Anderson at this point. He improved a lot.
Jaxson Edwards
I'd estimate top 10
Adam Diaz
I love Archer's shove, everyone sells it well. Apart from Kenta who just flopped over like the lazy fat fuck he is.

James Young
he'd be the most main stream star outside of antonio inoki. he's still doing TV/Ads(twitter.com/McDonaldsJapan/status/1071902371515678727) but he only held the top title for like 40 days and and won 5 G1's, he's a pretty big deal i'd say top 5
Brody Williams
CLAW TIME MOTHERFUCKERS
Thomas Taylor
>there are newfjaags here who think tanahashi is jobbing to archer
I wasn't the biggest fan of his but he's hugely important. Admittedly, I know I haven't watched his best shit. But he was easily one of the most important Japaneses wrestlers in the 90s with NJPW and WCWs copromotion at times. People like him, Sasaki, Ultimo Dragon and Liger (sure some guys don't immediately come to mind) were the most memorable names to a lot of US fans in the 90s even if they didn't follow Jap wrestling. Also was cool to see some Osaka Pro guys get burn in WWF.
They're overpushing that faggot so much. Kenta is a shitter now.
Austin Rodriguez
KENTA winning this one too? I don't see EVIL taking it.
Carter Bailey
Yeah, Kenta sucks, Archer obviously dragged broken ace, plot countouts. This G1 this far is just meh.
Joshua Martin
Hiromu is too small
Adrian Young
*wipes sweat on towel for you*
Asher Ward
Kenta has worked me into a seethe lads. I fucking hate him. He's fat, slow, ugly, and his moves look like dogshit. I want EVIL to win more than anything.
Christopher Parker
Hiromu is a manlet, Will is taller than a bunch of the heavyweights
Adam Young
it's A-block man. a lot of charismalets are getting exposed
John Roberts
Women's pussies are melting when Baced Ace wipes his sweat on their towels and tosses it back.
Thomas Brooks
Ospreay can go into G1, get 8 points and still come out looking decent If they put Hiromu in it he better at least win the block
Carter Barnes
New.
Anthony Howard
I dont hate KENTA since I saw him at his best in 05 throughout his NOAH time, but I really want EVIL to fuck him up
Caleb Sullivan
Please let Evil win, fuck Mehnta
Kevin Turner
I'm glad EVIL has upped his gear in last 2 years. During G1 27 and before his gear was fucking embarrassing, like a $25 laser pointer on his hand and a $30 halloween grim reaper cape/mask/slasher outfit i swear these japs are retarded sometimes
