That is what I'm doing for this.
Depends on who is in it really. Some people I just don't bother with, like Fale or Tiger Mask.
Wasn't a fan of Elgin either, but I'm coming around after the match with Okada.

Really glad they've given Goto 2 main events so far.
Checking in.
And in typical Goto fashion, he lost both.

As I will be enroute to the Outer Banks when it airs, I'm going to go ahead and post the card for tomorrow's show.
(1) Michael Elgin & David Finlay vs. SANADA & BUSHI
(2) Toru Yano & Jado vs. EVIL & Hiromu Takahashi
(3) Minoru Suzuki & Taichi vs. Tama Tonga & Yujiro Takahashi
(4) Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Kenny Omega & Chase Owens
(5) Juice Robinson & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Kazuchika Okada & Gedo
(6) G1 A BLOCK MATCH: Togi Makabe vs. Yuji Nagata
(7) G1 A BLOCK MATCH: Kota Ibushi vs. Bad Luck Fale
(8) G1 A BLOCK MATCH: Hirooki Goto vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
(9) G1 A BLOCK MATCH: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. YOSHI-HASHI
(10) G1 A BLOCK MATCH: Tomohiro Ishii vs. Tetsuya Naito
Obviously Naito vs. Ishii is the standout, but we also get a Goto/ZSJ rematch, Ibushi vs. Fale which should be interesting, Tanahashi vs. Y-H should be great with Y-H playing the underdog, and old guys smacking the shit out of each other in Nagata vs. Makabe.

I keep going back on forth on Omega and Okada being the best. Which in a way makes me feel like they're BOTH the best.
And the G1 match between them is gonna be godlike.

I'm just catching up with the most recent day now. Poor Yano
The fact that it's Yano being beaten in this tournament in Yano-esque ways is tremendous booking.

Yup. I loved the way Okada played the heel for that match, you could tell he was enjoying it.
Yea how he opened the match by leading the crowd into a Kojima chant and then immediately turning around and belting him was great.

That shit eating grin when he got the ref to kick Tenzan out of the ring, him chuckling during the boos when he did the Rainmaker pose.
Magnifico.
So who pins Okada? The more wins he gets the more likely it seems that Kenny will beat him.

The only person left who even has a chance seems to be Suzuki.
If he doesn't do it then yes, it's probably Omega who's gonna get the W.

what'll happen if there's a tie at the top spot on the block? Like if both Kenny Omega and Okada have just 1 loss while everyone else has at least 2?

Punjabi prison match tiebreaker
I think so. I reckon Kenny is losing another one beforehand, Kenny beats Okada and Okada goes onto win it with Kenny finally getting his win and Okadas only black mark in the entire competition.
If Omega and Okada finish tied then whoever won the match against each other will advance to the final.

I'm pretty sure Omega's winning to set up Okada/Omega 4 at King of Pro Wrestling in October. Plus by then Okada will only be a few days away from breaking Hashimoto's record for longest single reign so they'll probably play that up too.
I'm catching up on the last couple of days and holy heck is Juice going to be one of the most over babyfaces there by the end of this thing. His selling makes the Japanese crowd adore the guy.
edit: I'm not sure if I'm okay with being picked up and briskly standing on your feet 1 second after a tombstone piledriver for a rainmaker.

Fale/Ibushi was very entertaining.

Jeez Sabre has been so good in the G1. This match with Goto is two thumbs up.
