2015 G1 Climax

[Red_And_Yellow]

Jushin "Thunder" Liger attempting to pin wrestlers in their sleep. Hon-malarity ensues.

[Greg_McNeish]

I like that Red can't understand the commentary beyond "aye", when what they say is "hai".

[GooberBM]

That was a much better day out of B Block. Now we're getting somewhere with this little tournament

[Red_And_Yellow]

I agree. I thought it was a really solid night for Block B, who hasn't had a non-house show yet. Nakamura/Yagata was probably the best match on the show with Okada/Honma not very far behind.

[Red_And_Yellow]

I am no longer NJPW
I am Los Ingobernables
NAITOOOOOOO

[Red_And_Yellow]

But Block A is so interesting right now, as we predicted, it is really tight at the top:

Kota Ibushi - 4
Tetsuya Naito - 4
Katsuyori Shibata - 4
AJ Styles - 4
Hiroshi Tanahashi - 4

[Red_And_Yellow]

Goober, going to throw this out there:

I think your call for Naito to win Block A may be legitimately on. Nakamura to win Block B (if his elbow will allow him to continue) would've been a better call than Nagata I think.

[GooberBM]

Greg had already settled on Nakamura and Styles to win the blocks, and logically I agree with him. I specifically went with Naito and Nagata just to be different (Naito because we've been convinced he's going to be the next IWGP Heavyweight Champion that isn't Okada/Styles/Tanahashi, and Nagata because I'm calling an old man run to the G1 Climax finals, every year, until we get one)

[Greg_McNeish]

Goober's nothing if not a man of principle.

[Red_And_Yellow]

It could be right one day, it's probably not going to be right in a Okada, Nakamura, Goto and Anderson block.

[Greg_McNeish]

If Nagata was in A Block, I'd have probably picked him for the finals.

[Red_And_Yellow]

I wouldn't have. I don't think any of their older guys are primed for the finals. I think if we're going to see an older wrestler make a miracle run to the Final it's going to be Tanahashi in a few years.

[GooberBM]

Well fuck, Nakamura's out for today (at least) with an elbow injury. This is not good

Haven't caught up on the weekend shows yet but Naito being such a douche to get the fans to CHEER FOR AJ STYLES was awesome.

[Red_And_Yellow]

Highly recommend if you get a chance to check these matches out from Day 8:

Elgin/Honma
Goto/Okada

[Red_And_Yellow]

Nagata/Ishii was some awesome stuff. Highly recommend it.
