He totally doesn't care about anything but the contest in front of him. If his matches themselves weren't so intense I'd almost say he's Tranquilo. Instead, he's more like a large, excitable puppy..... Imma rename my dog Kota now.

Man this card lived up!

Yeah, that all makes sense, but I still think a 5 should be SPECIAL, y'know? And anything above that, man, did it touch Omega v Okada? Hart v Austin? Will people really, genuinely, be discussing Ospreay v Okada in a year's time? A month's? I don't care, dude can do whatever he likes, I'm just a fan of posterity and think there should be a differentiation between "If you are looking for a classic match from the 2010s, watch this" and "This is a style of match I enjoy between two wrestlers I personally like". Anyway, more importantly, I think the greatest character growth of this tournament has been Jay White's beard. From a scrappy late teen's patchy, with ginger highlights, attempt of a beard to full on, black, moustache, just short enough to look like a proper douchebag prick. It's been great long-term booking.

No? Do share. I'm super tired and burned out from binging so much aha. Luckily everyone is so fire this year. Goto, Okada, Ibushi, Naito fucking with Jay White. I've made it to the block finals in the space of two days essentially I'm watching the final Final in the morning. Avoided spoilers too somehow...

One of my favourite overall days tbh

Yano and Fale tag team when? Technical wrestling out the yazoo.

May need to watch those two matches soon. Seems a bit of a loose connection though. Man, Night 12 was my jam. Everything I love about NJPW in Yano v Moxley and Naito v Juice. Comedy, grit, character work. Naito's ear looks NASTY. God damn that nasally fucking "DESSTTIII-II-II-NNNOOOOOOO" fucking call though. Fuck English commentary. Fuck it sideways. If you can be bothered working it out so I'm not spoiled, can you gimme a list of what the scores were by the end of Day 12 please? I wanna watch the rest tomorrow with full context.

Mox v Naito was da bomb. It's funny watching G1 in such a binge. I notice this every time I do it. So many spots or general feels get repeated every show. Chair play. Headbutting your way out of a punch. Mox taking to the crowd. Just little notes repeated. I guess it's tough to create so much great wrestling so uniquely in such a short period of time. Okay, I HATE English commentary. Hate it. Fucking B grade Mauro thinking he's so smart with his allusions to WWE. "Uh, he's been in a CAGE for years". Fucking Rocky "I sound exactly like Juice Robinson dewwwwwd". Fucking fuck them. But "Everything's coming up Yano" was a good call. Made me lol.

Ishii v Mox... there was a lot of stuff I liked. But was it Match Of The Tournament? No. Not even the best match I've watched this past two hours. Actually, the more I think about it, two spots aside and pacing (which was on point) aside, I actually don't think this was a "good" match. Weird.

I mean, I know I'm an LIJ fanboy, but I think you downplayed EVIL v SANADA a bit.

Agree, would also add:

My dudes, July/Aug is such a busy month for me entertainment wise. SGDQ, WSOP, ASG week and X Games, on top of other things, has distracted me for too long. But I finished my X Games watch last night and will bust through the G1 shows I've missed. When's the final? Is it this weekend?

No love for Naito v Yano? Ishii v Naito was... not my favourite of their 9 (is it 10 now?) matches, but not the worst either. The bar has just been set so high. The entrance with them both showcasing their different Champion qualities, Ishii no nonsense defending his pride, Naito stating the NEVER is so far beneath him that once he holds both the Intercontinental and Heavy he wouldn't even bother taking the NEVER. Eurgh, such an arrogant twat lol Started fine, lulled in the middle, ending was legit from the second Destino attempt onwards. 8/10 would rewatch, but wouldn't recommend as a Must See For New Fans.
