Here's a fun guessing game - name this year's G1 Climax participants. You can choose with your brain or your heart, but you only get 20 choices.
People have discussed the turnover in New Japan this year, yet there are feasibly 30 wrestlers that could be part of the round-robin tournament this summer. In previous years, wrestlers would leave and NJPW would have replacements at the ready. This year is no different.
New Japan will likely not have Kenny Omega or Hangman Page this year, but the remaining 18 competitors from last year can return. Will Taichi join them? Can Ospreay work both Best of the Super Juniors and the G1? What about newer outsiders like Cobb, Nicholls and Cabana, or Western veterans like Finlay and Owens?
So who makes the cut?

New faces in like Jeff Cobb would be great. I could see Taichi getting in if they are pleased with his work that he's been doing, I wouldn't be against it. Maybe give him Tama's spot, given how much he shit the bed the last two times, though I'm sure he'll get in to do his Good Guy shtick.
In any case, please no more DQ fests again. Not saying every match has to end clean, of course not, but between Jay, Tama, Fale, and will they or won't they cheat Yano, shit got old last time.

Go completely out of left field and bring in PCO or something.
If only so Minoru isn't the oldest guy in the G1.

Tama gave up the Good Guy thing after the New Beginning tour. Wildcard prediction: I'm not sure how it'd work with the schedule AEW is trying to run before autumn, but I think there's a legitimate chance they're going to end up giving Omega a hefty pay day to return for the tournament. |

I think Taichi is definitely in this time and there is a good chance of Ospreay as well. The real question is do Fale and Tama Tonga get punished for last year's antics in the tournament? If so, that leaves openings for even more wrestlers, possibly Lance Archer as a big man to replace Fale. I also noticed no Kojima, which is surprising as he hasn't retired from the tournament like Nagata and Tenzan, but can still go strong and has fully recovered from his injury unlike Honma.
