NJPW Presents: G1 Climax 27 (July 17 - August 13; Scores Updated 8/7)

.Because he's old...and in a block with Tana, Ishii, Naito, Ibushi, and Goto

That's lazy as shyt breh

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Oh yeah, Yano and Suzuki meet my expectation of fukkery

 

[Superkick Party]

This might be my favorite of the trilogy

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Toru Yano is the greatest wrestler of all time, you cannot convince me otherwise

The Turnbuckle Pad/ Low Blow Gawd. The levels of fukkery he's brought to the table for the G1 is just

EDIT: Just caught the match. Suzuki is going to search for the fountain of youth so he can stay alive long enough to murder every one of Yano's descendants

Just catching up now - Tama Tonga vs The Paradise Lock

That was easily the best Omega/Okada match. Way more focused and no filler. Okada had a weakness and Kenny exploited almost to perfection. But the champ is the Ace for a reason and he's gonna everything in his power to avoid the L against his new big rival. Sumo Hall wasn't as hot as I imaged it would be but they were still very into it and added to story. I marked out at Croyt's Wrath and HOLY shyt at Omega's knee strikes, dial it back a bit breh !

 

[Mr. Negative]

I'm not gonna lie, man.

Sometimes watching ZSJ wrestle, shyt seems unfair.

Like you're wrestling a demonic, coked up octopus.

It's like he automatically makes you want to root for whoever he wrestles against.

Whole wrestling style seems evil and unfair.

A perfect fourth member for my imaginary heel WWE wrestling stable "Proper Villains", with Wade Barrett, Mason Ryan, Britani Knight (paige) and managed by Lord Steven Regal. Never could find a proper 4th member.

That's a great description

The most demonic holds come after his pin attempts too - like "Kick out if you want to, but you don't want to know what's coming next..."

His counters are too - like his opponent finally gets some breathing room and thinks "Finally this nikka isn't climbing all over me. Elbow drop time....wait.... what?..... Noooooooo...."

ZSJ as part of a Euro Trash faction would be . All vignettes to be shot in a greasy spoon cafe in East London. Would throw Cesaro and Tommy End in over Barrett and Ryan though. And Scurll as the mouthy guy who gets them into fights. Paige is just dying to unleash her inner chav too. She's been hiding it for years - that's why she's whylin now.

I can't fukk with ZSJ when most of his matches still look like exhibition matches or training matches showing cats how to apply holds, but his tenure in NJPW is helping him tremendously into putting a psychology and purpose into his ring work that was sordidly needed and he would never have obtained if he had signed with the E.

 

[Silkk]

Oh shyt, I forgot about this

Yeah, I'm still on Sabre. I remember Davey Richards also dialing down his annoying tendencies and being a good performer in New Japan. Then he would come back to the indys and do the same ol' "Daveyintensity" bullshyt

This shyt feels so hollow

Hell No. Wasn't shyt at stake in this match for Okada.

Win or lose, nothing changed for him.

I've stated my issues with the other two matches plenty of times. This one had none of that so it's easily the best I've seen from them
