NJPW: G1 Climax 25 FINALS TONIGHT!

[Silkk]

probably

Naito's heel mask

Tana/Ibushi is a must watch. AJ/Shibata was good but it ended rather abruptly

The rest is skippable. I'm gonna skip all the multi tag, Gallows and Fale's matches

They gotta cut Gallows and Fale, they are absolute garbage

Jeezus no way im going to have time to catch every show

Got a link to the first 2 you mentioned?

Yeah doesn't look like it's going up on Dailymotion so quick this year.

I've got NJPW World too but I depended on Dailymotion to download matches to add to the old collection

Tanahashi/Ibushi was

Clearly the match of the night. Loved Tanahashi going after Ibushi's legs so he could try to ground him. AJ/Shibata was good but like it was already stated could and most likely will be better down the road. I must say I enjoy Yano's trolling heel tactics

Not sure who's fault it was on the Naito/Fale pin botch but I'm interested in seeing where they go with Naito's new found persona though

He name dropped the stable he joined in Mexico during the G1 press conference. La Sombra is the leader of the squad in CMLL. Seeing as how he works a lot of NJ anyway wouldn't be surprised to see him come over and do it with Naito for a little bit.

Spoiler: Eat

AJ/Shibata was good but couldn't manage to live up to my unrealistic expectations, Shibata's arm seemed like a hindrance and it seemed like they left a lot left in the tank. Still though a lot of cool stuff, AJ shouting out to that one fan who chanted for him was hilarious, the abdominal stretch counter from Shibata was smooth as fukk and I loved him trying to tighten up the choke by biting his own hand. Although it ended a bit quick it was kinda cool to see a finisher being instant death after the Owens/Cena match.

Tana/Ibushi was outstanding, incredible finishing run. Tana has never been my favourite but dude still brings it despite being half crippled. Holy fukk at taking these two moves one after the other

I'm going to keep a list of the worth watching/essential matches in my posts through this (hopefully have to spoiler it soon for length). I only watched the top two matches but it doesn't look like I missed anything in the others, but if I do miss a match that should be watched be sure to point it out.

Bold = Must watch

Day 1: 7/20 AJ Styles vs Shibata

Day 1: 7/20 Tanahashi vs Ibushi

 

[Andrade Almas]

Still haven't watched the whole show but I'm 4-1 in the VOW Pick'em.

 

[Jmare007]

I was actually surprised Tana won, Day 1 usually has a big upset. Damn good match.

Shibata/AJ wasn't what I was hoping for. I hope that doesn't happen with Daisuke/Yuji

 

[TOAD99]

Ibushi/Tana was dope, I know Tana almost always works on his opponents legs but it was nice to see it ground Ibushi. Was hoping Ibushi would get the win but

Had higher expectations for Shibata/Styles like everyone else but I'm guessing his arm prevented him from delivering. Still a good match.

Finally got a chance to watch. Shibata/AJ was good just seemed a little short. When did Shibata hurt his arm?

Tanahashi/Ibushi was as dope as everyone said. Was hoping Ibushi got the win tho. Still holding out hope for a Ibushi/Swagsuke final. It needs to be the Golden Star's time brehs
