Couple of great puro shows to watch while we wait for the G1 - first, a New Japan show from May that has finally surfaced, featuring the young lions of Takahashi & Watanabe taking on Taguchi & KUSHIDA in the opening match, the team of TenKoji, Liger & Tiger Mask facing Yano, Iizuka, Jado & Gedo, Tama Tonga testing himself against Shinsuke Nakamura, a big 6-man tag with Tanahashi, Naito & Captain New Japan against The Rainmaker Kazuchika Okada, ZERO1's Masato Tanaka & YOSHI-HASHI. Plus, in an excellent main event Hiroki Goto defends his IWGP Intercontinetal Title against Tomohiro Ishii in a tough-fought, hard hitting bout.
