G1 Climax 25 Day 1

[Shadowmancer]

Ishii and Elgin are staring each other down something chronic

 

[Shadowmancer]

Its also good to see Tiger Hattori being the ref for all of the matches so far

 

[Shadowmancer]

They are setting up Elgin something fierce with these strength spots. And I reiterate Naomi needs to watch Taguchi to truly learn butt based offence

 

[Shadowmancer]

Okada's dropkick is such a thing of beauty

 

[Shadowmancer]

Okada with the pin on Ryusuke Taguchi

 

[Shadowmancer]

IPW needs to book Jay White on his off times when he isn't being a dojo boy

 

[Shadowmancer]

Kojima being the grumpy fuck that that generation of wrestlers is known for

 

[Shadowmancer]

hour and a half into the show now. I think this is the intermission and then we have the 4 Block A matches

 

[Shadowmancer]

Okada is one handsome man

 

[Shadowmancer]

Correction 5 matches, and dear god is Honma's voice scary, but that is to be expected since his voice box was damaged in death matches

 

[Shadowmancer]

Its good to see that even at the press conference Naito is continuing his heel turn

 

[Shadowmancer]

Its hilarious that Tama Tonga is Karl Anderson's fashion accessory

 

[Shadowmancer]

Tanahashi Vs Ibushi is the first match of Block A, Potential Match of the Year candidate coming up

 

[Shadowmancer]

still discussion about the matchups going on, not exactly the most interesting stuff since I don't speak Japanese

 

[Shadowmancer]

Its starting now. I like this set up that NJPW have for this

 

[Shadowmancer]

Doc Gallows Vs Hiroshi Tenzan up first in spite of what I said before.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Tenzan is fairly popular with his mullet

 

[Shadowmancer]

Though when was the last time you could say that the NWA world Heavyweight Champion had a mullet

 

[Shadowmancer]

This is a hoss fight. I love those in small doses, I think they planned out all of Block A so there aren't two hoss fights on a card

 

[Shadowmancer]

And Gallows taps out to the Full Anaconda, you would think with Gallows time with CM Punk he would have learnt how to avoid the Anaconda Vice

 

[Shadowmancer]

Yano Toru Vs Togi Makabe this should be quick and it should be good

 

[Shadowmancer]

I really wish they were able to play the legit entrances as Makabe's is awesome

 

[Shadowmancer]

Toru Yano going for cheating and rollups, nothing surprising there

 

[Shadowmancer]

Fighting Spirit Makabe

 

[Shadowmancer]

Am I the only one watching this?
