    Welp, Korakuen was incredible. Night of upsets. Review coming.

    Tanahashi does it again. Serious consideration for big match GOAT. Tanahashi vs Ishii was fantastic.





    Tanahashi worked subtle heel because it was Ishii. Go find this and watch it. Too short for MOTY, but just a great great pro wrestling match.

    The whole show was awesome. Fuck. New Japan. Woo.

        Night two review:

        With a solid night one of G1 Climax in the books, New Japan rolled into Tokyo's Korakuen Hall for night two, in what ended up being a fantastic show loaded with upsets and big stars falling into early 0-2 holes.

          A lot of people calling last night's show the best show of the year.

          I wouldn't go that far, but it was pretty fucking awesome. Better than any non New Japan show for sure.

            Once again, the world's first review: http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/201...t-three-recap/

            Weakest of the three nights, with some first half stinkers, but still a good show. Davey Boy Smith Jr is the man. BIG APPEAL.

              G1 presser with subtitles



              Lots of wacky nicknames ("The Man With the Worst Personality in the World", "Noble Master Thief", etc), and some amusing promos.

              Introductions start around 4:50

                  Remember how Night Two was being touted as Show of the Year?

                  It took two days for New Japan to top themselves. HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

                  This company.

                    Night four from Osaka: http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/201...-itself-again/

                    "Another amazing show from New Japan. This is shaping up as the greatest G1 in history. Two nights after Korakuen got Best Show of the Year buzz, Osaka tops it with multiple MOTY contenders and a red hot crowd. It’s starting to sound like a broken record, but go out of your way to watch this, particularly the Ishii/Shibata match onward. If you aren’t watching New Japan these days, you are missing out on a special place & time in the history of pro wrestling."

                        On Night Five of the G1, New Japan had the impossible task of following up a legendary show in Osaka. Maybe the bigger challenge was the crowd at the Ishikawa Industrial Exhibition Hall #3 following up the red hot Osaka fans. They failed. This was Exhibit A in a crowd murdering a wresting show.


                        Look, they couldn't all be winners.

                        Fuck that crowd. If you ever imagined a what a wrestling show would be like in a library, well here you go.

                        Move along, nothing to see here.

                            Night 6, or "Standings are a Jumbled Mess" night

                            After a disappointing night five, New Japan looked to rebound on night six of the G1 Climax in Sendai. The crowd was much, much better in this town as opposed to the funeral like atmosphere from night five, which helped tremendously. It matters a lot, not only for atmosphere, but psychologically as well for the athletes. Remember, these men are live action performers, and they feed off the energy of the crowd.


                            Karl Anderson liked the crowd better. So did I.

                              Tenzan (broken ribs) & Goto (broken jaw) pull out of G1. Both will forfeit their three remaining matches. Booking is obviously fucked.
