Goddamn Shibata's arm

I don't think he's surviving this G1 brehs
he's gonna look like a mummy by the end
i agree that shibata/aj was good, but didn't live up. probably due to shibata being hurt. they could have an amazing match down the line though.
tanahashi/ibushi was amazing. tanahashi proved he can still go when it's time. ibushi continues not being able to win the "big one" on the big 3. great story and when ibushi finally gets his win it will be huge.
other three matches were

. naito tried hard, but fale fukking sucks. that botched pinfall finish
the tag matches were what is to be expected from guys taking it easy. the six man tag before the G1 matches was a pretty good showcase of elgin though.
i think night 2 is going to have more good G1 matches than night 1. 4/5 have potential to be good-really good, but i don't think anything is gonna touch tanahashi/ibushi on night 2.
Kojima/Ishii, Nagata/Honma, Okada/Elgin, and Shinsuke/Machine Gun
