#g1 climax

A Block | B Block | C Block | D Block

It's G1 season babyyyy! And you know what that means... It's PowerPoint time! I was blown away by all of the positive feedback to last year's (honestly expected like 3, maybe 4 people to read my ramblings). So I was determined to get back on my bullshit again this year. And here it is! Now in glorious technicolour! Very serious, very objective. No jokes here. The Dave Meltzer of wrestling PowerPoints, if you will.

Anyway, hope you find it entertaining and possibly even a tiny bit useful! If you're new to New Japan or are thinking about getting into them after Forbidden Door, feel free to send me any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them! Part 2 on B Block, Part 3 on C Block and Part 4 on D Block are now out!

Some examples of excellent New Japan camera work in an (of course) excellent match.

One year someone should show up to the G1 presser in a John Wick ass fit by which I mean a suit but also so disheveled and bloody it looks like you were thrown off a building down several flights of stairs before the presser. This is never explained.

The fourth and final part of my guide to the G1 Climax! Cutting it a bit fine with less than 12 hours to go until the start of the G1, but going right up to the time limit seems in the spirit of the season somehow...

Before I go any further though, I have a correction to make. In my initial intro I said that the top scorer in each block would go through, but apparently it's the top two scorers going through this year! (Like they did in this year's BoSJ) Then there'll be quarter finals before the semis. I usually hate any kind of change because it's scary and weird, but I actually think this'll make things even more exciting! It means some more complicated maths, but it does open up the possibilities quite a bit!

And... that's it! That's every wrestler in the G1! Check out the other three parts if you haven't already. Thanks for reading and for all your lovely comments! It's been a blast to do this again, and has made me so happy to see people enjoying it and finding it useful. If you're new to NJPW and still have any questions, shoot me an ask and I'll do my best to answer! And feel free to let me know how you get on with the G1 if you do decide to watch! I always love talking wrestling!

Anyway, happy G1 everyone! May the best man (Toru Yano) win!
