    Same. I was watching day 1 of the G1 and in between matches I pulled open Facebook on my phone and that's how the news got broken to me. I tried to continue watching but just couldn't get invested after that

    Raziel Ice like Paul Wall but I can't take mine out

    Just finished the first hour and a half of day 2 and I really enjoyed the tag matches from today except for the bullet club vs tanahashi/Finley match. I'm not a big fan of Finlay, I don't care for his look or his cockiness, not to mention I think he only has 2 moves. The Juice Robinson match was great, that jumping impaler of his is pretty sick as well; definitely one of my personal favorite manuevers.

    I just finished the second half of the show and I felt that it paled in comparison to night 1. I wasn't all that into any of the matches if I'm being honest they all had their moments though. SANADA gave Evil a beautiful tiger suplex, I could have done without the michael Elgin/tonga match. The okada match was funny to an extent but I'm not sure I want to watch another 8 matches with his opponent, I've gathered that he's a wild card but it's kind of silly in what's considered very serious tournament. The omega/Suzuki match was great but I can't help but feel all of omega's matches end the same, with a ton of knee triggers and a one winged angel. It's gotten a little stale to me. Juice Robinson probably surprised me the most .

    I feel block A has the superior matches at this point and is stacked with the better wrestlers imo. I also don't know much about most of the guys wrestling so I could be wrong and I hope I'm in for more surprises

    I'll more than likely rewatch the juice, SANADA, and omega matches again just to make sure I didn't miss anyrhing. Today wasn't the best of days for me so I'm not sure I enjoyed it ad much as I could have

    ^^You just gotta get used to the stories being told in ring, I wouldn't say any Omega match or finish has been the same this year

    Also just finished night 2

    Ibushi/Lion ZSJ Desperado - 3.5
    Tonga/Elgin - 4
    Sanada/Evil - 4.25
    Juice/Kojima - 3.75
    Omega/Suzuki - 4.75

    Missed the Okada match skimming through, is that a good hilarious @Changeling ?

    Saying the finishes are all thecsame is poor wording I guess, I just don't particularly care for the abundance of knees he starts throwing when it's time to end the match

    @NJPWBros Finally finishing night 3, watching Naito vs Yoshi Hashi right now

    My thoughts so far

    Makabe vs Ishii ***3/4
    Nagata vs Goto ****
    ZSJ vs Ibushi ****1/4
    Tanahashi vs Bad Luck Fale **3/4


    Any of the lower card tag matches good? I skipped them

    Definitely my least favorite night so far

    Highlight of night 3 was ZBJ vs Ibushi but Ishii is really winning me over with all of his performances lately.

    Omega/Takahashi (and his girl) vs Tonga/Owens is pretty essential going into tonight. It was an awesome comedy match but told a great story. Lots of tension in the club.
