Totally going to the Hammerstein show
|
EVIL vs Fale was decent. Typical Fale style G1 match minus Bullet Club shenanigans.
|
:lol: at Sabre making a mockery of the 20 count.
|
SANADA vs Sabre was great.
|
Fale and Evil was okay, and I had sex for most of Zsj and Sanada but the ending was good.:naughty:
|
Wow Kenta was great I loved that brutal match
|
Ibushi vs KENTA was very good overall.
|
Okada vs. Tanahashi was great.
G1 Climax Dallas was a very good to great show overall. Helps that this came off as an actual NJPW style show and not something watered down or with ROH baggage. |
:lol: at NJPW cutting the post-show interview with Okada short because of a terrible question asked by one of the backstage reporters.
The reporter pretty much tried to bait Okada into trashing Impact because they hold a show tomorrow in the same city and his past history with the company. Also the reporter somehow thinking that Okada's great showing tonight was him "sending a message" to Impact over their failure to use him well during his time there. |
Will have to watch later, can't watch now...saw part of Jeff Cobb's match...good finish. Arena looks good on TV, could see New Japan returning there.
|
Fucking Ishii vs Cobb is gonna be fun
|
According to PWI, ROH won't be involved in NJPW's next US tour. Main reason is scheduling issues due to ROH holding events in Las Vegas during the same time.

YOSHI mother christing HASHI and his perpetually taped shoulder. Time to take a piss.
|
It's kind of weird to me that Lance Archer is still a thing in wrestling. Good for him.
|
I think it's cool AXS is going to air Saturday g1 shows on the same day at least. The g1 matches in 2 weeks are pretty solid looking
ZSJ vs Bad Luck Fale Kazuchika Okada vs. Will Ospreay Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Lance Archer Kota Ibushi vs. SANADA KENTA vs. EVIL |
Wish I could go seethe show in Philly but I can't see it happening. I saw the War of the World's show there a couple years ago.
|
Fucking hope KENTA gets it out there. I feel genuinely bad for the dude feeling like he did.
|
Kind of want heel Jericho to make an enemy out of "broken" Shibata and KENTA to have a match with Jericho at some point. It may not be either man at max wrestling athleticism, but I think they are talented enough workers to pull out something genuinely special.
|
Out on a limb..his match tonight was better than any match he had with NXT/WWE
|
the fuck is EVIL wearing? Is he aware he's wrestling in the G-1, and not the captain of the Battlestar Galactica?
|
I saw him at the Royal Rumble and he was easily my favorite part of that match. There's just something about guys when they're so experienced and they get the "work" part. KENTA is really fucking good, you can tell.
Man, I'm just imagining what it is like to take a shot with WWE and you're going to go over there and you know you're good, and you know people there know you're good, and you're going to show them how good...and then you end up spending five years in developmental never really getting to be yourself and just going through the motions and then you're five years older, sorer and like you haven't been you for a long time. I don't know what it is about KENTA. You could probably say that about most of the roster. |
EVIL reminds me of Rhino. By the way, I think Rhino will end up doing work for New Japan and Impact Wrestling. And I think New Japan and Impact Wrestling will start working together.
|
Has Will Ospreay gotten better? Might have asked this question before. Some people seem to love him, but I'm not sure if it's because they like that style or if he's actually worked on becoming a better storyteller or whatever.
|
Fuck yeah, here we go Sabre vs SANADA
|
Asian Viking from 3099 SANADA >>>>>>>>Pirate SANADA
|
fuck that sequence was brilliant
|
God damn what a clinic.

If you like his style of wrestling, then he's gotten a lot better this year and arguably is the front runner for Wrestler of the Year and Match of the Year stuff. He's been having a lot more "big fight" feel type matches recently. If you don't like his style or were expecting he'd evolve more into a storytelling direction, then not really. He's still the type of wrestler that won't win over someone like a Jim Cornette or those that despise modern indies "flippy wrestling." |
Fucking awful GTS
Romero: Delivers it right to the head! *as the replay clearly shows him hitting it under Ibushis arms. |
Yeah, dunno about KENTA yet. It was a good match, but there were spots where it definitely felt like he was still wrestling the WWE style. Probably gonna take some time some time to shake that off. Shit though, being in the G-1 is a good way to fast track that.
|
Anyone else thinking Jericho/Liger on 1/4?
|

Great finish to Okada/Tana
|
From someone who has never really followed a G1, they basically just started off with a PPV level show that impressed me in the ring and subverted a lot of my expectations, but now I'm ready to see what the B Block guys can do.

He's probably not for me then. I had to skip through his match with Ibushi at WK this year. |
What I’ll say about Ospreay is his selling is miles and miles better than it was a few years ago. Really helps tell a story now.
|
Really fun opening night. Here’s hoping Okada eats a pin in this G1 or Survivor might damn well run to Wrestle Kingdom when Liger puts someone over on the way out.

According to Voices of Wrestling, the official attendance number for G1 Climax Dallas show was 4,846.

That is pretty good for Dallas. Just wish they'd have booked a smaller venue.
