I hadn't made the connection but now that it is in front of me, yes, Jay White is the Seth Rollins of NJPW and that is intentionally an insult to both of them and the fans. They're not vanilla midgets only because their height precludes them from being midgets.

Decent match- I prefer Mox v Ishii though. This didn't have the same

One of the fun parts of the G-1 is projecting scenarios as the tourney gets to the last dates, let's see what we've got with B Block now that Gedo went full fukkery once again 
-The main thing is that Gedo has to have at least two matches with legit stakes for the Budokan show, it's a big ass building and you can't go into it with "well, Mox has been dominant and has this in the bag", you gotta sell at least 1 other match as a possible "semi final" of sorts.
-That means Mox has to start losing and one of the people that gives him that L (White and/or Goto) have to win out to have a chance on the last day.
-Naito could win out but for him to have a chance he needs Yano to at least get a double dq/draw out of Mox and for White and Goto to beat him too. That could lead to 3 matches at Budokan having Finals stakes, depending on how Ishii or Goto get to that final day.
-More "traditional" scenario would be White winning out (that means he beats Moxley), needing to beat Naito at Budokan and for Juice to spoil Mox so he could reach the Finals.
I think Naito vs White HAS to have real stakes going into the last day because that's the match that really makes or breaks a show in a place like Budokan. Even if Mox would've become a draw (we can't really know tbh) at that point, him facing Juice is not getting 12,000 people in a building so they gotta build up at least 1 other big match as a seller.
If Ishii wasn't facing Taichi in the last day, I would put him as a dark horse. He could realistically win at least 3 of his last 4 matches left, but I don't see him vs Taichi being a marquee matchup for Budokan. Even in a scenario were Naito/White, Juice/Mox and Ishii/Taichi all have chances of getting a finalist, it would be the last in the pecking order of legit reaching the Finals.
PS: This made me realize that a fukking White vs Okada Finals is actually a realistic scenario

Seems obvious that Ibushi is going to win his remaining matches, so he goes into his match with Okada with two losses, and I think Okada loses to SANADA, so this sets up Ibushi needing to beat Okada. They'll probably tease a 30 minute draw, but I think Ibushi wins in the last minute.
I do have a feeling White makes the finals, ,as that Mox/Juice match final night has from day one felt like they're gonna use it for Juice to cost Mox and set up match for Juice to win the US title back in the fall.
Thought the Mox/Naito match was very good but it seemed like they rushed a little to the climax. Felt like there was another 4-5 minutes they were building to, then they went straight to the finish.
Man, I would love Mox to only have a gentleman's agreement with AEW and get on that Rick Rude showing up on Nitro shyt and sign full time with NJPW. It's never happening but he feels right at home in New Japan.

Question, does everyone one in NJPW has like an alternative theme or second music? It’s like some times they leave to something different than what the come to or Vice versa.
Anyway, this recent night was cool.
Loved the interaction between Naito and Moxley with him trolling Mox.
Okada vs Kenta. I don’t know why I believed Kenta was gonna go over.
I should’ve figured they was gonna protect Bad Luck somehow. I’m still relatively new to NJPW as this like my 3 G1 I’ve watched it so. I don’t think I’ve seen him get pinned or submitted too many times. Most of his L’s are DQs

I still think Ibushi is taking the whole thing but what would be more lazy than a White vs Okada Finals?
Yeah, I'll say it again... I'd rather see Moxley full time in NJPW rather than AEW at this point. Loving this run.
I thought you said you weren't watching this year because it didn't look interesting

I said this was the most interesting G-1 in years with the new additions (Mox, Shingo, KENTA, Cobb). I said I wasn't watching every match, I haven't done that in a long ass time tbh, but there's way more matchups that seem interesting to me to check out, and I have.And you don't need to watch every match to do math breh
Moxley slowly becoming GOAT status

Decent main event, not at the very top level of G1 matches but some good stuff. These dudes are the Okada's of trolling reversals and counters
at Naito exploding through the railings and landing on his head with the hurricanrana.

This is worst case scenario, tbh
I got your non-interest confused with what you say in the AEW threads. That's why I mentioned it because I thought it was super strange someone who said they weren't interested in G1 would write and post so much about it.
And you don't need to watch every match to do math breh
My bad, breh.
