[07/14 - 08/12] NJPW G1 Climax 28 - Match Schedule Announced

[Bryan Danielson]

I love how a powerbomb fukked up Omega for like 10 minutes after the Ibushi match. But if it was in a match, he'd kick out at 2 and 30 seconds later be spamming V-Triggers

Wrestling logic

We need Cornette to see this so we can sense the fukkery.

In all fairness.... that Powerbomb came courtesy of an angry strong vicious Tongan in Bad Luck Fale


Much different from taking a powerbomb from Jr Weight ZBJ or Jay White

Is the Tongans' thing old school Bullet Club non stop interference in every fukking match now

Well, they do call themselves Bullet Club OG

I like how they have all their cameramen use the same settings. Gives all of their pics a "feel" I think it's the aperture in particular.

I love how they immediately give them an ice pack

I mean, it makes sense, but just so unusual to see as someone who hasn't watched this stuff for long. White threw Owens into the railing and they immediately had an ice pack on that back.

Those ice packs been doing miracles for decades, they senzu bean status in puro I do wonder what promotion started using it first and when @stro?

Okada sad Budokan ban balloons.

NJPW really restoring the feeling for me, brehs. So many great characters and matches. Best promotion in the world by far.

Shout out to MLW, Impact, ROH, Lucha, too

 

[Jmare007]

Budokan back

I wonder what kind of set up they are gonna run if they have a stage and ramp, maybe 13k?

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

just watched the Naito/Ibushi match. These dudes do not give a shyt about their necks

I've been trying to watch more NPJW since WWE has been so trash and the more you get to know who is who, the better all these matches get. Since I don't know the booking of NPJW, nothing is predictable and really helps you get into the match.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Bet no one expected that guy in the finals.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Spoiler

Tana beats Okada to win A Block, damn great match.

I think this is Ibushi's time

 

[julesocean]

As expected, Tanahashi / lil Kazu oGOATa was amazing.

Quick question, purolove has the main event lasting 30:30, was it a typo?

Only 6,000 for the first night. Even less than last year's first night at Sumo Hall (which had an impressive 7.5k), it's disappointing number but then again they've ran Okada vs Tanahashi to the ground at this point, and nothing else in Block A could draw a damn. Besides, it's very likely tomorrow is a sellout or close to it, and then the Finals are gonna be a standing room sellout.

Last two shows been impressively booked Gedo is NOT doing the Tana/Okada angle for Naito which is good, now we gotta see if he has a plan for him at all though..Okada's arc has some legs now. It's too bad there's no big company for them to feud with, he's in a position were either invading or representing the King Of Sports against another company would be perfect to give him other stuff to do. Only real options left is a real stable reshuffling and legit stable wars.

Also, for tomorrow, BCOG can't interfere...or else

Just finished ZSJ/Omega. I liked that one a lot. Zack had Kenny on the ropes (literally) with all those submission moves. Would like to see a longer match between the two in the future.

I like what the BC OGs have been doing. Basically there to be dikk heads and fukk shyt up -- and if they happen to get wins in the process, so be it, but it's not important to them.

Starting the August 2nd show now. I'll probably just jump to the finals once that gets online because there's no way I'll make it through the rest of the matches I want to see before that time.
