I ended up watching the whole show this morning. It was okay. Elgin vs. EVIL was my favorite match. Really looking forward to tonight as B Block is a lot more interesting to me. Starts with a bang with Omega/Naito and Ibushi/Sabre.

evil/elgin was very good. i dug white/okada too truth be told, even though i think everybody on the planet saw that white win coming (i actually put together a mock g1 climax out of total boredom the other day). very disappointed in the sudden comeback of tanahashi against suzuki, even though suzuki kayfabe totally destroyed his knee. yoshi-hashi/makabe was pretty underrated too, best yoshi performance ive seen since i began watching.

to continue that boredom, ill post my mock g1... even though i only went 2 for 5 last night.
block a: 1: white o okada, tanahashi/suzuki draw, evil o elgin, fale o hangman, makabe o yoshi 2: tanahashi o white, suzuki o makabe, elgin o hangman, okada o fale, evil o yoshi 3: tanahashi o fale, makabe o evil, white o elgin, okada o hangman, suzuki o yoshi 4: hangman o tanahashi, okada o makabe, elgin o yoshi, white o suzuki, fale o evil 5: tanahashi o makabe, suzuki o elgin, okada o yoshi, white o fale, hangman o evil 6: tanahashi o yoshi, makabe o fale, okada o elgin, white o hangman, suzuki o evil 7: tanahashi o evil, hangman o makabe, elgin o fale, okada o suzuki, white o yoshi 8: tanahashi o elgin, white o makabe, okada o evil, yoshi o fale, suzuki o hangman 9: okada o tanahashi, elgin o makabe, evil o white, hangman o yoshi, suzuki o fale
which would put the top of the standings at: okada 16, white 14, tanahashi 13, suzuki 13
b: 1. omega o naito, ibushi o zsj, goto o sanada, tama o juice, ishii o yano 2: omega o goto, ibushi o juice, naito o ishii, zsj o yano, tama o sanada 3: omega o tama, ibushi o yano, naito o juice, sanada o zsj, goto o ishii 4: omega o juice, sanada o ibushi, naito o tama, zsj o ishii, goto o yano 5: omega o sanada, ibushi o ishii, naito o goto, juice o yano, zsj o tama 6: zsj o omega, ibushi o goto, naito o yano, ishii o tama, juice o sanada 7: omega o ishii, naito o ibushi, juice o zsj, tama o goto, yano o sanada 8: omega o yano, ibushi o tama, sanada o naito, zsj o goto, juice o ishii 9: ibushi o omega, zsj o naito, goto o juice, ishii o sanada, tama o yano
top of the standings: ibushi 14 wins tiebreaker, omega 14, zsj 12, naito 12
yes sobriety gives me way too much free time.

I was surprised Jay White got the win over Okada, it seems he's getting elevated and rightfully so. Tana vs. MiSu was good while i really enjoyed Elgin vs. Evil. in other news Hiromu tweeted this pic.

I missed the first night of the G1 Climax, but caught up on the winners. Im surprised Jay White beat Okada. Im interested in what Okadas doing lately. He seems to be going a little unhinged since losing the title. Anyways, the B block matches today were great. I missed the first half hour of the show cause i thought it started at 3, so when i work up around 2 30, i figured id sleep for another half hour before catching the whole show, only to see they were live, and Suzuki was on. I liked Yano vs Ishii, longer match than i expected. Tonga vs Robinson was good. SANADA vs Goto was great. I wanted SANADA to win, but i like Goto, so its all good. Ibushi vs Sabre and Omega vs Naito were amazing. Ibushi vs Sabre told a great story, while Omega vs Naito had me at the edge of my seat because i wanted Naito to win (Im a Ingobernables mark).

omega/naito was incredible, both of those guys are tremendous. zack sabre amazes me more and more every time i see him. every match in block b was at least solid, tama/juice was probably the weakest of the 5, and even that was solid. yano/ishii was a surprisingly good, and goto/sanada was a lot less surprisingly good. both of those guys are underrated, sanada is really really good, just waiting to be elevated.

I agree about Sabre. I remember not particularly liking him in the CWC. That was the first time I'd actually seen him perform. The more times I see him now the more and more I dig what he does.

So after losing interest and faith in WWE's main roster programming, I took a look at NJPW World and subscribed. As a new viewer, I got a question or two:
1) Do all new shows have English commentary versions? 2) Do shows go up on NJPW World immediately, or is there a delay?
Thanks in advance.

All G1 and major shows have English commentary, the house shows do not. 2. All shows go up immediately.

Ya AXS airs them on delay but they are trying to shorten it.

Day 3 was alright, It's clear Jay White is gonna do well in the tournament since him beating Tana was a little surprising.
