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. https://www.njpw1972.com/tornament/4417?showCards=1 |

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.

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...

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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.
