I've watched the final 3 times already and I'll make this bold statement here: That was Ospreay's best match. Better than any of his Ibushi or Shingo matches.
I don't even think it's close, either.

I say either Finlay or JONAH was the breakout star of this year's G1

I say either Finlay or JONAH was the breakout star of this year's G1 Canβt argue with that. JONAH got a clean win over Okada, and Finlay did far better than anyone would have expected.

Tama making it all the way to the Semis against Okada makes the decision to take the NEVER title off him all the more baffling. I think they just wanted to get some more titles in Bullet Club, since they were being built back up. Lets not forget, if he hadn't gotten injured, that Juice would still be U.S. Champ right now.

Also, Tama wouldn't have lost the NEVER belt like Karl did. Did they think we couldn't tell the difference between that belt and the 6-Man belts?

Even having barely watched njpw I loved Ospreay using the trademark moves of guys that have beat Okada.

It fits his unhinged promo from the night before talking about how he's seen it done, but hasn't been able to do it clean, himself. He has one win over Okada, and that's only because Bea Priestly and The Great O-Khan got involved.

Apparently there is a special later today on TV Asahi known as G1 SPECIAL in Roppongi Hills. Not sure if this will end up on NJPWWORLD, though I believe something was mentioned for 8/27 distribution. Whatever the case, here's the card:
Naito, Shingo, SANADA & BUSHI vs. ZSJ, Taichi, Despy & TAKA GBH vs. Cobb & O-Khan Tanahashi & Wato vs. Yano & Taguchi Goto, YOSHI, Ishii & YOH vs. EVIL, Yujiro, SHO & Gedo Suzuki vs. Fujita Nakashima vs. Oiwa

This tour has me wanting Bad Dude Tito to get more ring time in New Japan.
He has an old-school gaijin style that could easily make him a star.

One thing I've found frustrating is the eye rolling from certain parts of in Internet about Tama Tonga getting a big push. Because God the crowd LOVES him. It has very 2012 Karl Anderson energy where, yes, he's not on the same level in ring wise, but he's their homegrown guy and he's getting their shot and they love him for it.
If they have the title match at Royal Quest it's a terrible decision. This match needs to be in front of the home crowd and needs to get that OMG HE MIGHT DO IT reaction.
