NJPW G1 Special in USA airing live tonight at 8 PM ET on the "AXS TV" cable channel if you guys have that...
 

Anyone have that channel...

I think I will watch... Jim Ross doing commentary and a bunch of guys whose names I recognize are wrestling.

Lots of white guys on the card...

I'll watch but probably not live. Have been watching the marathon on AXs tv all day. Okada has to be front runner for wrestler of the year by far.

I'm curious to find a way to track it down.

Opening match is cool...

Currently watching although missed the first 30 minutes.

First match was good... idk about putting on another multi-team tag match right after though... but at least it was kinda short. This show seems like it will be very long...

Think the show is lasting till at least midnight. Same for tomorrow's show.

Been checking in on it but will watch the whole show once the NASCAR race is over.

Juice vs Sabre Jr was pretty good overall.

Saber Jr looks like a 12 year old Ken Shamrock, but holy hell can he work. That finish was just barbaric.

Billy Gunn is botchy tonight.

I wonder if they do some sort of bait-and-switch and have Billy Gunn subbed out by one of the other guys in the match to give Tanahashi something with more meat?

Heard bad reviews of the Tanahashi and team versus Billy Gunn and team tag.

Finlay (or Finaly as he was called) was decent. Tempura Boys were good. Tanahashi is limited right now. Gunn was God Awful.

Match wasn't that good overall even by NJPW multi-man standards and Tanahashi didn't really do anything in the match.

Seems NJPW just wanted to save Tanahashi from doing any real work till tomorrow.

God, that's a shame. It's not like I expected him to be good, but I was hopeful that this would be an opportunity for him to give it his all and let himself be carried to something that wasn't offensive. I had a perverse joy in seeing him and Tanahashi. Now I am worried.

I know its a staple of NJPW and all but I'm not digging all the 10 man tags..

I find it amusing seeing people wearing Naksmuras NXT shirt at a NJPW show

:lol: ref teasing at wanting to punch Naito during his entrance.

Hmm

Seems like almost everyone is in the Bullet Club...

11 according to Wikipedia although not counting any part-timers.

I can't imagine an Ishii vs ZSJr match

Good match... Omega rules. Seems like he has an infinite amount of energy bursts

damn @ Razor's Edge powerbomb

Come on ref

Great freaking match

Omega-Elgin match was amazing.

Cody/okada is going to be a letdown compared to Elgin//Omega

Okada seems depressed in all those promos

What's going on tonight? Is Cody just in an "exhibition" match or is he actually in the G1 tournament?

He is wrestling Okada right now for the IWGP championship

Oh. Damn. Sounds like a huge match. No way Cody wins though, right?

Fuck it. Looking for a stream.

Like Triple A said its for the IWGP title but this weekend is more like a pre-G1 appitizer event than the actual tournament itself.

There were rumors for a while about NJPW wanting 2 days of the actual tournament to be in the US before changing their mind. Still kept the G1 name since most of the people involved are in the tournament.

2nd half of the show specifically Tag Title Match Omega/Elgin Ishii/Nsito and Cody/Okada was a really good 2 hours. The first half I could have done without other than the ZSJr match

ZSJ vs Ishii intrigues me.

I thought the Los Ingovernables vs Team Liger match was pretty strong. Lethal vs Page wasn't quite as good as some of the second half matches, but it told a good story with lethals injured ribs.
