>>18489485 (OP)
In A block only Taichi & SANADA are the only ones eliminated. All EVIL & Uemura need to do to advance is win, while others have more complicated ways to try and get in. Uemura vs Finlay is the main event of block finals on Sunday, with Tanahashi vs EVIL as the semi-main and Tsuji vs Newman before it.

Currently out in B block are ELP, Great-O-Khan & Gabe Kidd. Respective wins for Zack & Takeshita would lock them into the playoff stage.

Whosoever after this post comments Grim will suffer an imbalance of their four humors. Looking forward to a good show lads.

>>18489485 (OP)
Grimmest timeline got me rooting for Umino...

>>18489528
>not even drilla
how retard

Excited to see Zack give Drilla his 3rd good match this year

Feel good after yesterday. I hope this won't be a let down especially the main event.

>half to stare at a half empty yoko budokan so see zack to top scorer again
grim

>>18489532
I mean specifically to beat Takeshita.

CRASH THE MAT TWIX

Taichi was robbed

To be the strongest here puts you as the best-- one of the best wrestlers in the world.
The Savage King will be back on top.
>guitar break
Let's go, baby! G1 Climax!
Makin' new records and that starts with this year's G1 Climax.
Real. Violence.
If you're my dog *bark bark*

Can't believe Boltin survived the dreaded flying coconut

>>18489581
don't think he could had won or else, but losing a match against newman who was almost crying in pain for his back was such a choice

>>18489590
kek they really call it that???

Still mourning the elimination of Lord Taichi

I should go watch those 30 minute Yano/Tanahashi classics

Im from the future, Shota is beating Takeshita to set up a challenge after Takeshita wins the title at FD

this awkward banter is based

This next ass grippy nigga had MOTT yesterday

Oiwa is so cute

anal with oiwa

SANADA and Oiwa SEXO

I hope Oiwa wins. He's not making it through anyway

SANADA why are you harassing Milano anymore, that shit was fun

>See SANADA is getting over
>Book yourself to go over him (after tanking a guitar headshot) and knock him out the G1
Im still mad at President Hotdog

kek based

LMAO

I hate the british

>Jakob Austin Young & Callum Newman
fucking bleak negative dimes I'm afraid

Tsuji is from Yokohama but they never put him in big matches here.

>>18489688
united empire might as well be thrown out. its not like they sell merch like los ingo

I hope Tsuji will finally break his back in their match.

JaKWAB Austin Young morelike!

props to newman trying to get some heat

Easy to pick on the young lion

How the fuck is Tana still walking?

149 days left bros

The housewives praying at the local Shinto shrine.

CLEAN FIGHT

Masterful mind games on behalf of the King of Darkness EVIL

Togo has his working shoes on tonight

BEAT THAT NIGGA ASS MURASHIMA PLEASE

They actually Togo actually wrestling. A miracle

NO ACE DONT FALL FOR IT

Why does Tana have the Naito?

chin~ ton~ shan~

FOUR SAVAGE GENERATIONS

TAKE THIS AS MY DECLARATION

Gedo dropped the shillelagh, that's 7 months bad luck

Let's go Honma

This could be MOTT if they got 20+

So Yuya is winning the whole thing right?

YOSHIHASHI having this many points is insane

>>18489775
he should have more

>>18489775
They gave him all those points to make up for jobbing to ELP

about to have 5 new TV champions before these 2 leave

>>18489770
better be

what the fuck lol

Hilarious, YOSH-HASHI was just chilling

>>18489789
Must have missed it, what happened?

never let this shitter in this tournament again

>>18489794
A heel turn would save him

>>18489793
He went for a top rope moonsault to the outside but YOSHI-HASHI was just resting on the apron the whole time. He messed up his foot a bit and ELP took over again like nothing happened.

>>18489796
Next member of House of Torture

CAM ON HEADBANGA SCORE SOME FFACKING POINTS

Spotlight following the wrestlers any time they leave the ring is kino

ELP IS SO ASS

Only bear Yoshi-hashi could hit the kuma-goroshi on is a cub brother.

This match is wack.

fuck elp

Shingo would've been out if Yoshi-Hashi won there (or tomorrow)

>no more ELP matches
based

YOSHI-HASHI would be an interesting TV champ.

>ZSJ vs YOSHI-HASHI
that gonna be rough for YOSH's joints

ELP is hoping one of these kids keeps the title forever

I MIGHT HIT THAT DRILLA RIGHT

>>18489827
Kek it just keeps reappearing in front of him.

What kind of title is TV champ anyway?
Yes, I'm a newbie on NJPW and I only know it's a recent title belt

2 awful fucking theme songs

>You can have it I don't want it
lmfao is ELP leaving soon? dude has been burying the company all tournament

>>18489833
15 minute time limit and every match is free on YouTube. Made to advertise NJPW World.

this match will either be great or a great pile of shite

>>18489834
Brits need to get their music taste under control

>>18489834
Zack using this theme is part of his heel turn.

>>18489838
Oh ok. Thanks anon.

>>18489842
zsj's music taste is normally pretty good, but he's been too much of a kamixlo/mechatok fanboy by adopting this remix

>>18489855
his previous two themes were great but that doesn't mean they needed to be combined

drilla's shoulders are too big they were still on the mat

ZSJ thinks he's bret hart

>>18489835
>Booked to have a shit G1
>Given a meaningless title belt
>Attendance is visibly poor every night
>Company aren't doing anything differently to change things
>Can't get a job at the money mark promotion like all your friends
If I was ELP, id be pissy too

If Jakob is really hurt then that means O-Khan doesn't have a partner for Sunday and we only have 8 matches. Let's hope and pray

>>18489864
He is the world champ for a reason brother

>>18489866
I doubt ELP has nay solid ideas on what to change.

>>18489864
Even Bret didn't tank houses this badly

>>18489871
It's Gideon Gray's chance.

>>18489601
I don't think he could have "won" too, considering it's scripted.

>>18489883
kek you beat me to it. was gonna say they have something in common besides their technical style

This is pretty decent so far

UK(Gay) vs Yookay

>>18489899
World of Sports match between two UK wrestlers

Zack may have lost aura being champion

>zero extension
>taps out

yeah that was pretty good

KWAB

>>18489917
the idea of it was enough to make him tap out

>12 points for Zack
grim

Time for Shingo to get fucked

Looks like a pretty good crowd

>>18489590
i have enjoyed fale and dick togos antics this tour and hope they keep it up. i think they could be a good low card heel tag team too, but i doubt the DON wants to do a full anything besides a bucket of chicken

>>18489947
The amount of butthurt that team would generate in World Tag League kek

>>18489602
Falling coconuts kill a few people a year.

I hate this match already

based daiki

Ren just has zero rizz. Everyone in HOT is charismatic apart from him. It'll be a very sad day when he becomes the leader

>>18489980
Yeah I expect this to still be fun with shingo in there but EVIL is just too good at pissing off the crowd for the babyface's sake

>>18489980
Him licking up whiskey from the mat while dodging glass shards for the finish of the last match got him over with me

>>18489927
>12-14 points for hebyQ
What the fuck did you expect?

>>18489980
I can see why they tried to put him in to help him but he's not charismatic enough to fit with the comedy antics and not vicious enough to be a more wrestling-heavy monster.

took another young nigga's nose

At least Narita can take a beating, he has that

WTF IS THIS BS

HIROMU WHERE ARE YOU

At some point New Japan's management needs to be investigated for allowing HoT to run amuck like this

Like seeing Nagai get some shine

HoTties...we failed again...

Kek I love Shingo

>>18490023
nvm we're back

3 stars

Muscle Asami should take more bumps, that way he can get up faster

that flab

umino-kun ganbatte!

AURA

FUCK ROCKY and FUCK TAKESHITA. Get this nail polished queer back to DDT.

Any prediction on the outcome? Takeshita gonna lose because he brainbusted Shooter out of the ring? Shooter gonna grow some balls?

>>18490047
Dude, he's married

>>18490055
to a boy

>>18490055
You can't be queer and be married? It's 2025, come on bro

Shota looks like and walks around like a Raven flunky in white. It's like infinite boo boo face

>>18490060
God, I wish.

I already can't wait to see this match run back at Daily's Place (aka the American Korakuen Hall)

>>18490061
He's japanese. It's not Edo period anymore, sadly.

shooter is a fucking geek

chris and walker forgetting tournament results already lol

>>18490066
Kek you a fujoshi or just a normal fag?

Oh god not this neck bullshit

>>18490087
I'm one of those Oiwa lovers, where this puts me?

>>18490099
Think it's called Bara

Shota can't be dimes unless he is bald

That made up for the shitty DDT apron bump

TAKESHITA with the EVIL-tier laugh

>Shingo call
>now Umino call
Is this some dumbass gaijin doing this?

Shota's getting ANGY

SHOTA IS SHOWING HIS FIGHTING SPIRIT. HIS FIGHTING SPIRIT FOR NEW JAPAN. HIS SHIN NIHON SPIRIT

DONT YOU PUSCH MY DAD

Pathetic oversell from Red Shoes

He should had shouted うるさい at the crowd, he can't commit to be a real bastard.

>>18490115
Rocky will pull him out of the ring later

>2,448人
Down from the sellout last year but more than what they did 2 years ago

>>18490123
Was it the same night last year?

>>18490126
NTA they said that korakuen was sold out

Remember the legwork, guys?

>>18490122
It's been the same date 3 years in a row because of a loose tradition

>>18490129
Umino's piddling offense couldn't scratch The Alpha

FADING
fading

Fucking retard let go of a passout finish

Kek Shota really is still the shin ashe

Why they are dragging this

Shota TANKED everything

>>18490140
Gotta make Shota look strong. It's just a worse version of the Takeshita/Yuya match from last year

>>18490140
It's the main event brother

>>18490140
time limit draw

>missed the whole show besides this match
it’s too early

>>18490148
KWAB

based shootski

I hope you guys liked that match because it's the WK main event

>>18490149
You really didn't miss anything

bullshit

holy shit look at everyone bail out

THIS IS SHIN NIHON BITCH TAKE YOUR UGLY ASS BACK TO COLLISION

>>18490152
The fans will vote Tanahashi's match the main event since Shota is the new Naito.

>>18490146
he won but doesn't look strong to me, so what

>Main events two WKs in a row without winning a single G1
Lmao this company

forgot that shooter has this lisp

>>18490161
you're a retarded fat online contrarian you don't matter at all bitch

I enjoyed that despite it dragging but Yuya/Oiwa clears for sure

>>18490170
not even a shooter hater. his performance didn't give me anything, why i have to be contrarian to say that?

Kek he's taking over Gabe's "I love NJPW" gimmick

>>18490173
who do you think you're fooling bitch? stfu.

>>18490172
Oiwa will end up the best of the newer guys

>>18490176
and i thought we were schizos free in these threads

>>18490175
I've told you.

>>18490177
based big buns oiwa

Shota screams upper midcard but that's excellent for him

"THIS IS MY YARD" - Shota "The Big Dog" Umino

How many days until the block finals?
I haven’t been able to watch any G1 this year, but want to see the Block finals and actual finals.

>>18490557
The next 2 shows are block finals: Sunday and Wednesday

What are the finalist requirements for the remaining people?
