It’s that time of year again, and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW)'s G1 Climax tournament is back to ruin sleep schedules all over the globe!
This year's version, the 28th annual, will feature 20 men competing across 19 dates for a spot in the finals on August 12. Each show will be broadcast worldwide on New Japan's streaming service, NJPW World.
We'll have open threads & results for each show as well as the standard match recommendation posts at regular intervals throughout the tournament, so why not watch along with the best pro wrestling community on the internet?
Our second day of action takes place in Tokyo’s Ota City General Gymnasium, kicking off at a ripe 2AM Eastern / 11PM Pacific, and it's all about B Block, one of two groupings whose winner will go on to a spot in the finals.
Tomohiro Ishii over Toru Yano by pinfall with a low blow into La Casita.
Tama Tonga over Juice Robinson by pinfall, reversing Pulp Friction into a Gun Stun.
Hirooki Goto over SANADA by pinfall with GTR.
Kota Ibushi over Zack Sabre, Jr. by pinfall with Kamigoye.
Kenny Omega over Tetsuya Naito by pinfall with One-Winged Angel.
Moving forward, we'll post records and standings. This being the second day overall and day one of B Block, all competitors start on even ground!
Enjoy the show!
