I never want to hear New Japan fans give out about repetitiveness in WWE title match booking when we're getting EVIL/Naito for the fourth time in five months. I know New Japan rarely deviate from one-on-ones, but this match is screaming out for a gimmick or an extra participant- there's no reason you can't throw SANADA in there to make it a 3-way.

And we have now kicked off. It looks like NJPW World has a new video player, the UI looks different.
Yano is on commentary, and his KOPW opponent is in the main event against CHAOS. Expect shenanigans.

The G1 is so grueling that I don't think I ever want to see a scenario where the G1 Winner loses it. MAYBE temporarily at KOPW before winning it back at Power Struggle but even then it would have to tie in to some narrative. I do expect major shenanigans when Ibushi/White face off leading to White/EVIL at WK That, and the G1 title shot needs to more consistently be something that pays off. Isn't Tanahashi the only guy to win the IWGP title with his title shot yet? Like, I understand that winning the G1 is an honor in and of itself, but you seriously need to have the winning ratio be better than 1 in 7 or however awful it currently is. Losing the briefcase, unless maybe the winner managed to win it back in time, would just further damage the idea that the G1 winner has a golden ticket.

Here I thought Gabriel Kidd was going to pick up the win. 😉

If not for the pandemic we would've gotten new Young Lions from Fale's dojo this year

Something I wonder, is Okada recruiting Kidd to join Chaos. He wouldn't team with just any ordinary Young Lion

Tanahashi vs Moxley does sound too tempting to pass up
