Kenta vs Cobb, that's a match worth watching next week. KENTA/Cobb and KENTA/Moxley are the two potential match ups that could easily be MOTY candidates.

Tanahashi told Ibushi that his time is almost over and he has to become God now.

Actually a really good angle and promo from Ibushi and Tanahashi. With most their tag teams split up and out of the country, it's definitely a great way to keep the tag scene interesting. I love Taichi to death, but I hope Tana beats both him and ZSJ in the G1. Great heeling by those two.

Good to see they will be having it this year Question is if they will be making it smaller blocks, throwing in everyone they can, or putting in a few Japanese outsiders. The last one I don't see them doing too much, but it's an easy way to handle the Kaito/Okada stuff and maybe show off an awesome talent like Okabayashi, but maybe it's like the NJ Cup where jrs are in.

Seeing Tama Tonga clean shaven now just isn't right

You have three chances to guess who got pinned in the 4th match and the first two don't count

If it's a 19 show tour, then it must be the full 10 wrestlers in 2 blocks format. By my reckoning, there are 8 people from last year's G1 who'd need replaced.
The following are heavyweights who have been on recent shows: Suzuki, YOSHI-HASHI, Makabe, Nagata, Yujiro, Kojima, Tenzan. If you add in Hiromu then you're back to 20. Obviously folk won't be too keen on YOSHI-HASHI & Yujiro being present, and I'm not sure if Nagata would be willing to renege on the "This is my last G1", but he could undoubtedly still go if they needed him.

I'd rather see Nagata, out of those listed, but I'd rather it be YOSHI-TASHI if it meant Nagata was allowed to keep his word. That is more important to me, if it's important to him.
