[Guest Black Tiger]

1. El Samurai & Blue Wolf beat Wataru Inoue & Toru Yano (11:32) when Wolf used a Mongolian slam on Yano.

 

2. Minoru Tanaka, Masahito Kakihara & Masayuki Naruse vs. Koji Kanemoto, Jado & Gedo went to a draw (15:00) when the time limit expired.

 

3. Tigers Mask , Billy Ken Kid & Kuishinbo Kamen beat Jushin Thunder Liger, Super Delfin & Ebessan (14:06) when Kamen used a Cancun Tornado on Ebessan.

 

4. Masahiro Chono beat Three Masked Men (2:48) by DQ. This was the big "Mr X" deal? What a joke

 

5. G1 Climax - Block B: Masahiro Chono [7] beat Tadao Yasuda [4] by forfeit. Pitty, now Lurch is in last place.

 

6. G1 Climax - Block A: Yutaka Yoshie [2] beat Hiroshi Tanahashi [4] (10:38) with a rolling backfist. Damn, now Yoshie is on the board, even if he is in last place.

 

7. G1 Climax - Block B: Manabu Nakanishi [5] beat Kenzo Suzuki [4] (11:17) with an Argentine backbreaker. Probably was pretty good. Nakanishi has supposedly improved a lot since his training with Gotch.

 

8. G1 Climax - Block A: Yoshihiro Takayama [8] beat Shiro Koshinaka [4] (12:00) with a German suplex hold. Takayma is now a shoe in for the semi finals

 

9. G1 Climax - Block B: Yuji Nagata [5] vs. Osamu Nishimura [5] went to a draw (30:00) when the time limit expired.

 

10. G1 Climax - Block A: Hiroyoshi Tenzan [6] beat Kensuke Sasaki [6] (??:??) by referee stop. Tenzan makes it to the semi finals after several losses to guys like Takayama, and Koshinaka.

Will Nagata, Nishimura, and Nakanishi have to do a 3 way dance for 2nd place, Nagata lost to Nakanishi, Nakanishi lost to Nishimura, and Nagata and Nishimura had a draw.

Will Nagata, Nishimura, and Nakanishi have to do a 3 way dance for 2nd place, Nagata lost to Nakanishi, Nakanishi lost to Nishimura, and Nagata and Nishimura had a draw.

Nakanishi and Nishimura will have a match to decide who goes on to face Takayama. Either way it'll probably be a Tenzan VS Takayama final with Tenzan finally winning.

I really like how this G-1 has helped to make Nishimura, Tanahashi, Suzuki, Takayama, and Nakanishi all look good. I feel Chono has done a fine job booking this year's tournament.

[Guest CED Ordonez]

I concur with DA, definitely fine job thus far booking the G-1 by Chono. Everybody that should be elevated got elevated, Yoshie got used deservingly as a jobber, and the possibilites made most matches compelling and worthy of note.
