Love these end of event promos even if I don't understand much of it. SO HYPE

Someone posted a twitter that translates most of the promos

 

[Foggy]

Gooooooood shit

 

[ANuclearError]

Suzuki/Yano tomorrow

MOTY INCOMING

I expected Suzuki to still be in the running for this, so now I'm unsure if he'll get Yano'd. Part of me wants to see a Yano NEVER Openweight run actually, would be amazing.

so happy Naito won, there were a couple of times I really though Tanahashi was going to win it. The high fly flow to the outside was bonkers and they both sold their respective arm and knee injuries well. The main events for Tomorrow and the Finals are going to be so good, best wrestling in the world no doubt!

 

[Foggy]

Tremendous

 

[Clegg]

Tanahashi will have no knees by the time he's 50.

 

[Hex]

Tremendous

When you think about how Fale has been, tossing around announcers, tearing up Daryl, bad mouthing everything you see how much of a moment that was.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Tonights show was too notch, friends!

 

[pbayne]

Awesome night from start to finish. You are spoilt when Goto/Ibushi is maybe the weakest match. Nagata just shit man what a perfect moment for him.

Tana is just the man. No one else would get the crowd as close to 50/50 as he managed tonight. Its Naito's year tho baby.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I have high hopes that Naito will win this G1.

"Taichi, the laziest man in all of wrestling"

Rocky Romero's a treasure.

 

[pbayne]

I find Taichi a bit of a guilty pleasure. Especially with his hilariously awesome Noah theme.

How was Rocky on commentary tonight?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I like how Fale gave Yuji some respect after the match.

 

[Kensation]

*end of Nagata match*
Is someone chopping onions in here?

 

[lucebuce12]

NAAITTOOOOO TETSUUUUUYAAAAAAAA

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

I have to admit Taichi pretending to sing during his entrance theme is somewhat funny.

It has a certain charm to it.

There is a vid of Himoru Takahashi singing it in the back before Taichi comes over and things get weird with underwear

Oh god. I remember that happening.

Jeez Kenny looks and sounds like shit. He says he is doing better than had been though so it will be interesting to see the match with Okada, likely to be heavily influenced by the injuries/wear-down of the tournament in terms of storytelling.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I'm guessing the next one starts in a couple of hours, right?

Starts at 5:30 am EST. Catching up on last night's show now and getting hyped for Omega/Okada 3 (though I don't expect it to be better than the other 2).

Not sure, but you could always just go straight to the Shows page.

So if Kenny beats Okada today but losses to Naoto, who would be in line for a title shot first, Kenny or Evil. Just wondering what the possible main event I've got in store for the King of Pro Wrestling show when I'm in Tokyo in a few weeks.

Kenny has the win over Evil so I would think him

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Just finished yesterday's in time. ZSJ/Ishii was great. Nagata got me in the feels. Glad Naito won, I was expecting it, but when he got him in the cloverleaf again, man.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Hey guys look Iizuka's back


Finally ZSJ in proper Suzuki-gun black

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Zack laughing his ass off when Iizuka was menacing the crowd lol

Here come the super-no-music-rights duo

TODAY IS THE DAY

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

TODAY IS THE DAY

You're expecting a lot out of Suzuki/Yano too I see.

Will Yano make it 4-0???

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

You know, I've really enjoyed Makabe during G1. He's been so much better then I've seen him since I started watching NJPW.

 

[Hex]

Monsault tease was so good

 

[pbayne]

Could watch the ten man tags everyday. So much fun.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Yup. LIJ vs Taguchi Japan especially I could watch forever.
