Any idea why they don't have English commentary for every night?

Shit's expensive. I believe Kelly and Callis work on a per-appearance basis, and New Japan really only wants to have them for the big nights. NJPW typically has the big matches during the first four nights and the last two at Ryogoku, so that's where they have the English commentary.

If anyone was wondering what Yuji Nagata's been using at the beginning of his theme during the G1 that's been causing the copyright audio blank-out.

The dub one is far better, though you lose crowd noise. :/

I'd add EVIL vs. Juice Robinson from night four. Also every ZSJ match is great, though yeah, the Ibushi one is a standout.

Also any match that YOSHI HASHI loses is automatically awesome. Don't want to spoil results though.

May as well get it out of the way now, here's the full card for tomorrow's show in Fukushima.

(1) Togi Makabe & Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Kota Ibushi & Shota Umino
(2) Tomoyuki Oka & Katsuya Kitamura vs. Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI
(3) Yuji Nagata & Hirai Kawato vs. Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi
(4) Zack Sabre Jr., Taichi & El Desperado vs. Bad Luck Fale, Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens
(5) Hiroshi Tanahashi & David Finlay vs. Hirooki Goto & Jado
(6) G1 B BLOCK MATCH: Satoshi Kojima vs. Michael Elgin
(7) G1 B BLOCK MATCH: Tama Tonga vs. EVIL
(8) G1 B BLOCK MATCH: Juice Robinson vs. Minoru Suzuki
(9) G1 B BLOCK MATCH: Toru Yano vs. Kenny Omega
(10) G1 B BLOCK MATCH: Kazuchika Okada vs. SANADA

Not much of note in the undercard except for Taguchi returning from his European vacation, other than that it's pretty easy to determine who wins each match. For tomorrow, I have: Elgin, EVIL, and then three big upsets with Juice, Yano, and SANADA.

Okay so I'm not crazy there's no English commentary for day 5? when do they come back?

If they want to grow and push more into America they need to have English commentators for every show maybe find some cheaper guys to fill in. I am available I am cheap lol

Tried to avoid spoilers so far, but I realize I sadly won't have the time to watch all of the G1... so: what are the must watch matches so far in the G1?

Edit: Already watched Ibushi/Naito and Kenny/Suzuki from night 1 and two respectively.

I hope Omega vs Yano will be the thing that brings the end to my mourning over the loss of Daryl.

Was there anything worth watching on RAW last night folks?

Kid legit pissing Ishii off.
Ishii threw him in his corner to tag out and he didn't do it and keeps coming back at Ishii.
