THE BIGGEST PRO WRESTLING TOURNAMENT IN THE WORLD, THE G1 CLIMAX, COMES TO AMERICA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 29 YEARS AND WILL AIR LIVE FROM DALLAS ON AXS TV SATURDAY, JULY 6

Los Angeles (March 1, 2019) – A pro wrestling spectacle unlike any other, NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING (NJPW) will hold the opening night of the 29th annual G1 CLIMAX tournament for the first time ever in the United States live on AXS TV on Saturday, July 6. NJPW takes over the American Airlines Center with the sport’s best athletes competing for glory as the top heavyweight wrestler of the summer.

The G1 CLIMAX is the most prestigious tournament in pro wrestling, beginning with night one in Dallas, Texas and continuing across Japan until the Aug. 12 finale in Tokyo. The best of NJPW’s roster will be represented in the tournament with around 20 wrestlers participating every year. Acclaimed NJPW commentator Kevin Kelly will call the action on AXS TV.

“The G1 CLIMAX tournament is the greatest tournament in pro wrestling and differentiates NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING from the competition,” said AXS TV FIGHTS CEO Andrew Simon. “Having night one take place in the United States shows that NJPW is now a global company with worldwide interest. We are excited to broadcast this historic night live to AXS TV fans.”

The event will be the fourth NJPW U.S. event to be broadcast live on AXS TV.

AXS TV premieres new episodes of NJPW every Friday night at 8pE/5pP as part of the weekly “Friday Night Fights” block leading into the new hit series WOW-WOMEN OF WRESTLING at 9pE and LEGACY FIGHTING ALLIANCE live at 10pE.

Ticket prices are crazy but I'm hoping to be able to grab one. This is too "once in a lifetime" to pass up.

Man, I do want to go; I've did LA in 2017, San Fran last year, and I'll be at MSG in April, so I'd love to make the trip south for this one, but it might just not be doable with my summer travel budget.

Still thinking they'll work out a deal to have Omega there for this one.

This looks like it might have a higher capacity then MSG if it sells out saw from 18-20k depending on layout

Tickets are on sale and going fast. I was on the site right as they went on sale and still had to wait to get to the selection screen. Very little of the ringside floor was left. some ramp seats were though. I had several seats I was one click from buying that ended up sold as the page loaded but ended up with a decent one I believe.

Sounds like another sellout is imminent

[Final Countdown Jones]

New Japan proving they don't "need" the Elite now to keep their American expansion going well. And unlike the inconsequential specials they've run before this is the goddamn G1. Crazy.
