sevendaughters Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 so that was definitely Moxley's best match in years and one of Ishii's greatest moments, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 8 hours ago, username said: I thought Goto/White was the best match on night 2. Well, in that case I'll check that out. Thanks. I saw most of the G1 matches up to night 3 but it sounds like I'll be checking all of nights 4 and 5. I also saw the hyped tag match with Karl Fredericks and I very much see dollar signs even in his Young Boy phase. The guy's going to be a star for sure, will need to see what other tags he was in on the other shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His loosing streak extends for another day. 0-3 against the faction he betrayed, even their class clown. It's a beautiful little story. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Ok, I have been on Vacation for the whole tournament sans Night 1 thus far. What's my must watches up to now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Maybe it’s because I’m watching Sumo at the same time. But there needs to be more draws in the G1 Climax again. In Sumo, because there needs to be a winner, they only determine winners mostly through record. So no point system. G1 Climax has a point system for a reason to create the possibility of a wonky score at the end due to draws, and double dq’s. It’s not a major issue, but it does annoy me that having points sometimes seems irrelevant to what determines a winner.

Ishii from night 6 I honestly would recommend you just watch all the tournament matches if you are catching up, and skip the opening tags(Even though they’ve been real fun this year).

The Natural Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Thank you for that. I usually ask for the must watch matches as the tournaments on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'll second the notion that there really hasn't been any bad matches, and it's worth watching all the tourney if you can. Real good shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) I'm not doing star ratings per match or posting up the DAVEs (no sub) but I am finding this year extraordinarily breezy and yet good quality. The basic assessment after 6 nights is both blocks really good, the good on paper matches deliver, and the less enticing ones hit home more often too. It feels different to the last few years because of Moxley, Shingo, KENTA, Ospreay and even having Archer back in his new guise feels like a positive reboot. Plus Jay is just such a better character 1 year on. Edited July 19, 2019 by sevendaughters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firebreaker Chip Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Mox and Ishii worked really well together. I enjoyed Mox having two high angle Death Riders countered and then wising up and hitting a quick snap version to set up the win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custos Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Well the end of night 6 was quite fucking something wasn’t it. I don’t want to spoil it for those catching up by describing everything that happened in the match, but you should definitely make time to see Moxley vs Ishii. Cody has his neat little wish list written in his wife’s handwriting, Moxley’s catharsis from his creative frustrations is written clear as day through his performance between his DoN debut, the Janela match and then this drag out fight. If that’s taking your ball and going home, then I hope a few more folks choose to do it if that is the result. Ishii making him look fantastic (as he does with everyone) obviously helped too. A side note, Ishii also has my favourite entrance theme in New Japan, apart from Suzuki’s. It gives the same Pavlovian response to me as APAs music, as you know shit is about to go down, and has that big fight quality too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Suzuki now comes out to horrible music. So Ishii takes your first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custos Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I haven’t heard Kaze Ni Nare for a while, they seem to dub over some themes all the time on NJPW World English stream so I wasn’t sure if it was a music rights issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I want Yano to win the whole thing, win the title at WK and hold the belt for at least the next 5 years. I also want the WON MVP Award to be renamed the Yano/Thesz/Flair award. Seriously I went BANANA at the finish of his match vs Jay White. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 @LoneWolf&Subs you need to add this to your list of matches: Zack Sabre Jr vs. Bastard Wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 So, I guess NJPW doesn’t care at all that Kenta was just a jabroni in WWE’s junior heavyweight division. I mean, if he can dominate in the G1, presumably Mox will be undefeatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I think he means from Night 5. Fale is much better than The Wall anyway, was a fun match today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
