So Ishii is a easy bet for the All Atlantic match.

Nice to see Connors back in Japan already. Ishii is the obvious pick for the winner of this mini-tournament, but even this short tour for Clark is a good sign.
We’ll have official blocks in one week – any predictions on big matches they might go for? I wonder if they finally pull the triggers on Naito/Ospreay and Jay/EVIL.

This year's G1 format will be easier on the body as they will only have six matches instead of ten

Connors back in Japan already? Between that and getting snubbed in the G1, it's no wonder Fredericks blew stuff up yesterday.

The new format of this year's G1 should provide some nice and fresh matchups after a lot of similar ones the past two years due to the restrictions. You can play around with the semi finals and final matchups too so it should be quite unpredictable as well. I'm intrigued to see the Blocks.
Initially I was disappointed that someone like Danielson wasn't in it but if the crowds are still gonna be just clapping then I get it- plus I'd rather we got 9 matches out of Danielson in a G1 than just 6. I thought we would have some NOAH involvement though...especially with Kojima becoming GHC champ.

I am surprised someone like Cima after his NJC Performance isn't in it

I don't think Kojima is with New Japan now, they've not mentioned him or brought up his matches in NOAH

I don't think Kojima is with New Japan now, they've not mentioned him or brought up his matches in NOAH Everywhere I see he's been signaled as part of New Japan. He's also still on their roster page. As far as we know, he's just in NOAH as a loan of sorts (probably until their next big show), courtesy of the improved relations on both parts.

Sounds like we’re getting competitors and/or the bracket tonight for the NJPW STRONG tag title tournament. The opening round (and maybe semis) are all happening this Sunday in Hollywood. We already know Fredericks/Daniels, and both WCWC and LA Dojo’s Knight/DKC hinted at being included as well.
