Imagine letting KUSHIDA walk because you wouldn't make him a heavyweight but now, we got Will The Goober Osprey about to be in the G1. L. I'm catching up on the BOSJ Final, and right as I read this post Osprey was entering the ring and doing the stupidest sword unsheathing bullshit that I've ever seen

Shingo wants to be in the G1
Good lord this G1 could be stacked this year
If Naito is going to win, he's going to have crazy competition if Moxley and Shingo get in

I've fallen out of the loop on NJPW between New Beginning and Dominion, any particular cards/matches people would recommend me to catch up on for both quality and the running stories currently?

The previous two Ibushi/Naito matches from the New Japan Cup and G1 Supercard were excellent. Shingo/Ospreay at the BOSJ is a must. My favorite NJPW match all year.

At this point there's a bloat of additions from last year, and that will probably include 2x NEVER champ Taichi. Most of the folks from last year should still be in.

I don't think anybody would be sad to see Tama and YOSHI-HASHI out this time around.

Moxley confirms he will be in the G1 This is big. He'll be the first former WWF/E World Champ to do the G1 since Flair in 1995.

The way these brackets can turn out is going to be insane
You're obviously going to have Okada and Naito on opposing sides and you have to take into account their respective matchups over the years against diff people and who they have never faced.
Tana and Okada in the same bracket is always a certainty. White I can see in Naito bracket because they never faced off and you don't want to run him and Okada into the ground. Ibushi and Naito have been fighting all year and they said that was their "last match up" so him in Okada bracket makes it damn interesting
Add in the wildcards in Shingo, Mox, and KENTA and you have some crazy matchups on the way

So when you look at last year's G1 competitors:
Hiroshi Tanahashi Kota Ibushi Kazuchika Okada
Kenny Omega Jay White Zack Sabre Jr. Minoru Suzuki Tetsuya Naito EVIL Tomohiro Ishii YOSHI-HASHI SANADA
Michael Elgin Juice Robinson Togi Makabe Hirooki Goto
Hangman Page Toru Yano Bad Luck Fale
Tama Tonga
Taking things at face value, Omega/Elgin/Page/Tama are out. That leaves four spots (if they're keeping it at 20). Adding in Shingo, Mox, KENTA & Taichi immediately fills those empty spaces. New Japan could always remove Fale/YOSHI/Makabe and put people like Ospreay/Cobb/Kojima, but that's more Western fantasy booking than reality.
Either way, I'm hyped for this year. NJPWWorld only has three live shows on the Kizuna Road tour - June 16, 17 & 25. Expect competitors, blocks and cards formally announced on those three days, respectively.
