I am studying for my medical school finals and trying to get into puro. Can someone compile a list of the matches I should check out at the G1 Climax? I was Youtubing the first day, but the first few matches really weren't anything special.

What is this Bullet Club and what is this Rainmaker?

Bullet Club is a stable. honestly, it's essentially Prince Devitt and Karl Anderson's show.

Rainmaker is Okada with a godlike gimmick.

BULLET CLUB is Prince Devitt's newly formed heel stable with other gaijin (foreign) wrestlers, namely, Karl Anderson, Bad Luck Fale & Tama Tonga. They're pretty much the most hated heels in New Japan at the moment as they cheat A LOT to win matches.

The Rainmaker is the arrogant, over-the-top persona of current IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada and also the name of his finishing move;

Prince Devitt is the absolute best

I just hope after this tournament they tone down all the bullshit in his matches. Heard a podcast of a review from the finals and he said it seems like the fans are getting sick of all the crap in his matches and is leaning towards x-pac heat. The man can wrestle so why don't they let him wrestle with little interference and not prevent him from having good matches because everyone knows crap is going to go down.

Thanks for the recommendations Bootaaay. I just finished day one and don't realistically have enough time to watch everything, so I think I'm just going to follow your list from here. Post Breaking Bad G1 Marathon TN.

Just watched Pain and Gain. The Rock..sorry, Dwayne Johnson... was the best part of that entire movie. So funny. He plays the 'roided moron perfectly...
 
Really kills me to see all these G1 references in spoilers, I'm slowly catching up.

Strobogo's WCW reviews got me to download quite a bit of 96-98 stuff and man, Hog Wild '96 was fucking awesome. Bull Nakano! Harlem Heat drawing insane heat from the racist biker hick crowd. Malenko vs Benoit for 30 minutes, going into double overtime (20 minutes standard time, 5 minutes overtime and then another 5 minutes) and the hick crowd actually appreciated it all. Eddie Guerrero vs Ric Flair! And Hogan winning the belt and spray painting it with "nWo". Awesome.

Why has Ambrose ditched his security gear vest thing in favour of the tightest wife beater ever worn by man? Looks a bit weird with his super bulky trousers and Reigns & Rollins normal gear.

It means he's turning face soon. Gotta make him look presentable for the kids that he will be pandering to soon.
