sevendaughters Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Super show for the A block final. Felt like a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 I thought that matches itself were all enjoyable, yes even Sanada/Fale, but I don't really get the booking here. I think only Okada and Ibushi got positive score? I don't get it. And I don't get why Sanada after beating Okada finishes with a loss to Fale. Like maybe give him one more win and build him up? Only match that I had issues with was Tanahashi/Ospreay due to it feeling a bit like two separate matches. Separation obviously being that tap out tease. I thought that they did wonderful job setting it up and then just to brush it aside. Like my problem here is that it could have been very great and ended up being just great. So you know, first world problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 yeah while it was only a roll up (and a very good one at that) it felt needless. protecting Fale has limited utility these days, we all know he's a solid midcarder rather than worthy gatekeeper. hell, let Sanada get the cheeky win. no one needs to see him get his win back.

Archibald Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 LIke, if it happened at another time, before Sanada defeated Okada, then I'd probably wouldn't have much if any problems with that finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprintingFromAmerica Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I find Fale's wrestling wins amusing - one of the G1's mini-projects has been rehabbing the Bullet Club B-Team a bit, so I can see why they went there. Sanada was up against 3 guys there and is gonna be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd have had him win big and clean despite the interference. I'd also have Archer come out tomorrow or Monday and challenge for a title. Any of them. Would be good in the short term.

John E. Dynamite Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I cannot tell you how pleased I was when the finish of Ibushi/Okada involved Ibushi countering Okada's stupid fucking Discus Rainmaker with a knee to the face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Dynamite Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 He breaks the wrist clutch to do it. It looks weak. It looks like a move where the other guy should just hit him in the face when he does it. Hence - great finish. The writing was on the wall for Will to get his big win here and they did it the right way. But I don't love neither SANADA nor EVIL finishing with losing records. You want to rehab Bullet Club? Shift the damned units around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been rumors of SANADA leaving prior to the Dome, so he might be doing farewell jobs on his way out. Ospreay Vs. Tana was amazing, I made an audible gasp when Will hit the Hidden Blade. I thought Tana was going to turn it around somehow, but when his elbow hit the back of Tana’s head, that pretty much meant the end.

Jiji Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 If Sanada is leaving why the hell would they have him beat their ace? I do not understand why they keep the bullet club guys around. So stale. Main event was very great, probably in that 4 5/4.75 range for me. In defense of the discuss lariat, he's been putting some extra oomph on it lately and it's looked good as a result.

Blue Dragon Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Naito vs Ibushi? Mox vs Ibushi? Jay vs Ibushi? Wonder if Jay will win the G.1? Edited August 10, 2019 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Two of the best matches from this year's G1 Climax in Will Ospreay vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kota Ibushi vs. Kazuchika Okada. Not sure whether I preferred the former to the latter or the other way round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll guess Naito/Ibushi even though we've seen it a number of times. Second guess goes to Moxley/Ibushi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I don't think there's a chance of running a match again that has been done so many times as Ibushi/Naito. That would not be very good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Also, they'd probably both try to kill each other on such a high level show. We all know Jay White is winning the G1 and at the Dome and holding onto the belt for 2 years before jumping to WWE without giving notice, so he can be buried in the undercard on NXT.

Jiji Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I remember last year when Dave was doing the press event for the San Francisco show, he was adamant that I believe both Juice and Ospreay had no interest in WWE. Was White included with that group? I think he was or he's expressed that himself. Of course, things change and big money offers help to spark such change as well.

Ryan Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 All three will be in NXT after their next contract roll-overs. As NXT is put on FOX and draws better ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I think Jay will get the final. They're not fucking around with this guy. He could have a great one against Ibushi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I feel like Kota/Mox is a fresh match, Kota can do the hardcore-highspot-hybrid thing well, and it's a match they may not be able to run again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
