It'd be Okada's 5th G1 if he wins. Yep, something no one has done since Inoki except for Chono. Still, I feel like it'll be Naito's day. |

Great main event, but ZSJ is the best he's ever been and takes Okada out of his comfort zone, so that was expected.
EVIL beat SANADA as "clean" as Ospreay beat Omega at Forbidden Door, so I'm fine with it. Plus this SANADA reign is just dragging and the fans genuinely reacted to that upset, so let's see what the semis bring.

Giulia will defend The Women's Strong Title against Yuu on Sunday.
Iwatani will finally make her first defense of The IWGP Women's against Utami Hayashishita there.

Controversial, but I am okay with EVIL having won here. SANADA will beat him in the rematch they no doubt get when EVIL feels entitled to a title shot, but this keeps SANADA from facing Naito or Okada yet, two matches they no doubt want to save. I suspect Naito wins the whole thing, though Okada also makes a level of sense. The problem with EVIL winning is that it's EVIL and he sucks |

Almost anyone else in the C Block would've been a better choice than him. Imagine if Shingo had faced Sanada, or Eddie had instead. He's no damn good and it's embarrassing to watch his matches. |

I'd have liked to see either of those matches more, but I also feel like "two former tag champions" is the kind of thing that Gedo had difficulty passing up, especially given both left LIJ, obviously in very different ways. I can see why that'd be compelling, but obviously, how EVIL's been used is where that falls apart. |

I wouldn't say doomsaying or anything but I think he just sucks the life out of everything and he keeps going over better/more interesting guys. It's not as "why the hell did they do this" as Hikuleo making it over the young guys, but the fact that he's in the Semis and will get a title shot soon is pretty alarming. |

Carthwheel is at AAA's Triplemania show tomorrow and so is Mike Bailey. Surprised CMLL aren't objecting to them given both are at The Festival next week

That's an interesting matchup. ELP seems to have rejoined G.O.D. and The DKC may also be as well.

That will be interesting. Finlay teamed with Ace & Bey in Wrestling Revolver and it didn't go well. He refused to really acknowledge them, and ending up brawling to the back which led to them losing. Fits his "unless I allow you to be, you aren't really in Bullet Club" mindset, and those are two guys still loyal to Jay. |
