What is it?
G1(Grade One) Climax is a month long tournament taking place over numerous shows around Japan. Previous names of the tourney included World League(1974-77) MSG League(1978-82) International Wrestling Grand Prix(1983-1988)and World Cup Tournament(1989) before adopting the G1 Climax name in 1991.

Wrestlers are separated into two blocks, block A and block B. Winning a match earns 2 pts, a draw earns 1pt, while a loss yields 0. The wrestlers with the most points in their respective block meet each other in the G1 Climax final with the winner going on to wrestle the IWGP Heavyweight Champion at Wrestle Kingdom(NJPW's Big Event) in January at the Tokyo Dome.

Google NJPW World English and click on the link on F4WOnline (that's Dave Meltzer's site) for the English registration page for NJPW's network.

It's really easy to use once you get the hang of it, and there's gonna be an English button on the bottom from Google, which makes the site much easier to navigate.


ETA: Here just click the English language link here:

Great work on the thread :salute: I'll add some matches, predictions and maybe some Observer history later on

Does anyone with NJPW World ever watch live? I always catch replays cuz I haven't figured out time zones, but I may try to watch some of G1 live :patrice:
Click to expand...

2am for the first show, Meltzer usually puts the time zone in his preview (I think some others have better start times for the US)

G-1 opens up on 7/20 in Sapporo with a Sunday night U.S. time show (2 a.m. Eastern;11 p.m. Pacific) show with the G-1 bouts being Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Doc Gallows, Togi Makabe vs. Toru Yano, Tetsuya Naito vs. Bad Luck Fale, Katsuyori Shibata (at least it’s still listed that way) vs. A.J. Styles and Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kota Ibushi. It goes into full swing the following week with shows on 7/24, 7/25, 7/26, 7/28 and 7/29.

Damn strong first show, the top two matches :banderas:
