G-1 Climax 2001

[Guest Johnny Blaze]

Hey, I just finished watching the 2001 G-1 Climax and I'm curious what you all thought about it. Its the first new NJ stuff i've seen in a while. I was thoroughly unimpressed with Yasuda and Nakanishi, but Nagata and Minoru Tanaka are 2 guys I'd like to see some more of. I wasn't overly impressed with it as a whole. No real stand out matches, but enough decent-pretty good matches to make it worth watching, although some of the early matches were terrible.

 

Curious as to what star ratings anyone would give the following matches

 

Liger/Tenzan

Nagata/Tanaka

Nagata/Mutoh

Nagata/Chono (I think it was the best of the tourney, probably 3-3.5 *)

Kojima/Chono

Kojima/Mutoh
