G1 Climax 28 day nineteen is upon us – the finals of the entire tournament where we’ll see the winner of A Block, Hiroshi Tanahashi, collide with the winner of B Block, Kota Ibushi. The winner receives a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Read more…

NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Eighteen
The second-to-last day is here! Today we find out who will advance to the G1 finals from B Block and there are so many things that are going to blow my mind and break my heart today. Omega/Ibushi, Naito/ZSJ, and Ishii/SANADA?! I was so excited to see this good stuff that I slept past my Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Sixteen
It’s the sweet sixteen baaayyyy beeeee! Or at least G1 Climax 28 day sixteen. We’re coming off of a two-day break and back with B Block action where things are really coming down to the wire. Naito/SANADA and Omega/YTR should be fun matches with Ibushi also in contention to take the block. At this point Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Fourteen
Things are starting to get real, real interesting now and I don’t know if my heart can take it. It’s a race to the top with Omega, Naito, and Ibushi leading the block but anything is possible! Tonight we see yet another man swing for the fences as he tries to end Kenny Omega’s G1 Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Twelve
Best Block is back with G1 Climax 28 day twelve! This night is loaded with what should be some insane match-ups in tournament action – SANADA/Juice should be fun and good if not great, Naito/YTR should be the same, and Omega/ZSJ or Ibushi/Goto are the clear front-runners for match of the night. Can anything top Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Ten
B Block stands for Best Block so I’m awake as of 3:45am and ready to watch this sucker live! Yes, I could easily just watch this show once it goes up in full on NJPW World but there are too many potential classics happening in the tournament tonight for me to sleep through it. Onward Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Eight
It’s back! It’s finally back! I know it’s only been three days since the last G1 show but, really… has it really only been three days? It feels like forever since I’ve last climaxed and I’m happy to be back to normal for another few days. Day Eight is a B Block show with some damn intriguing Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Six
B Block is back baaayyyy beeeee! I decided to forego the 4:15am alarm clock so I could instead sleep in and catch this in the morning after our puppy inevitably wakes us up way too early for a Saturday. I’ve mentioned how much of a fan I’ve become of SANADA lately so I’m looking forward Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Four
Day four is here! The tournament rolls on with more B Block match-ups including potentially my most-anticipated match, Toru Yano vs Zack Sabre Jr. I’m pulling for YTR to tap-out ZSJ now that he’s attempting to turnover a new leaf. The show starts off with a tribute and ten-bell salute for Masa Saito who recently Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Two
I’m well-rested (well, as well-rested as one can be trying to tame two insane puppies all day and night) and ready to recap the second day of the G1 Climax! This one aired at the more reasonable time of 1am Central Time but I was still a bit too wiped from getting up at 4am Read more…
