G1 Climax 30 will take place in the fall of 2020 - WON

[HMARK Center]

Due to many of Tokyo's key venues being used for the olympics next August, the decision has apparently been made to push G1 back to autumn.

As a teacher who has a lot more free time during July-August than September, allow me to take this moment to say

[This Player Hating Mothman]

As someone horrified by the fact you take the time to watch G1 undercard tag matches, this is for your own good, you lunatic.

[Fundertaker]

Yeah, I was imagining they would either do most shows outside of Tokyo and make the finals there in September or change it around.

EDIT: Wait a minute... I was thinking of going back to Japan next year either in June or September. This might sway my decision.

Yeah, you may want to postpone your trip until AFTER the circus that is the Olympics is finished tearing through the town. It's going to be a total shitshow no matter where you go (with the tourist prices doing no help) if you go with less than two months away from the island getting even more overpopulated.

Next Summer

Suzuki: Trying to trick me again, New Japan? Have you learned ANYTHING from the hell we raise?!

Olympic Official: Sir, this is the Tae Kwon-Do event.

Well, I wasn't planning to go to Tokyo (doing Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe this time around) as I already went there last year, but yeah stuff's gotta be more expensive pre-Olympics than post.

I'm kinda glad. I feel like the stretch of time between the G1 and the Dome Show is too long.

I agree. I only watch NJPW here and there, but if they have it run say September thru October that'd be perfect. The G1 is already there Rumble in a way, so why not have it closer to your WrestleMania.

[Convoy]

I was wondering how they would handle it. We were actually planning a trip during the summer to do both the Olympics and the G1, so this news will have us take a look at that plan.

Hey, if you can think of a better way to kill an hour during the time of year when you mostly work on weekends yet still have to wake up at 5:45 each morning because your girlfriend really wanted to adopt that puppy but she still has to go to work so you get to stay up the whole time watching the new dog and making sure she doesn't piss everywhere and also involves seeing Bad Luck Fale, then I'd like to hear it.

You know what I'll give it to you but only for how incredibly specific an overshare this is because I get you, man

Suzuki wins silver medal in rhythmic gymnastics. Rest of Suzuki-gun banned from competing in synchronized swimming after attacking another team.

I shall echo the teacher sentiments. It's going to be a lot tougher to keep up with in the fall, for sure.

In their defense, El Desperado attacked first, so they all had to do it.

Yeah, there’s that, and I think that one of the benefits of scheduling it where it is is that guys have time to heal up before WK if they’re carrying or pick up a nagging or significant injury.

Taking away a month or two away from that recovery period could potentially be pretty significant.

[Deleted]

I feel like if anything that might make me a little more open to the idea of potentially watching it. While the biggest reason I haven't is because I find just the idea of watching that much wrestling in that short of time to be absolutely exhausting, that it's so long after it happens before it reaches its payoff kind of makes the whole thing feel extra pointless to me. Granted that also isn't helped by how the winner of it always just blows the title match anyway.

Actually going to Tokyo next autumn, hopefully there will be a Korakuen show while I'm there.
