Hm, I guess that’s my bad then, for some reason I thought Sabre had beaten Ibushi. Carry on.

My picks for the finals are Tana vs. Omega or Ibushi vs. White. Ibushi winning the G1 makes all the sense in the world and a match at WK13 against Omega would defiantly push the attendance to 40 000 people. I don't see Naito going to the finals since i think he's going to have his rematch with Chris Jericho soon while i don't see Jay White winning since he's probably going to feud with Okada over control of Chaos.

Im actually surprised Tanahashi won Block A. Was thinking Okada would win. Im hoping Naito wins Block B, but at that point, Im thinking Ibushi or Omega wins block B.

Another excellent match between Okada vs. Tana, kinda surprised they went to a draw just like 2 years ago.

Here we go.. Naito falls to Zack Sabre, Omega/Ibushi is winner take all (or Omega goes on a draw like Tana did).

Ok, I did not expect Tanahashi vs Ibushi in the finals. I really don't know where they'll lead to this, cause I honestly don't see Omega walking out of Wrestle Kingdom as champion, and the only two I could see beating him for the title were Okada and Naito. Makes things more interesting.

It will definitely be an interesting match. I am pulling for Ibushi. After their match last night, I want more of Omega vs. Ibushi.

an amazing match, with a bit of a disappointing ending. im not outright upset, it was just kind of physically draining, watching that pre-ending sequence and thinking it was gonna be ibushi at any second... just to see tana overcome again. when i watch it again tonight/tomorrow, im sure ill be more appreciative of both guys effort, because it was incredible... but man, i really wanted it to be ibushi. good stuff though. great stuff, actually.

So Tana vs. Ibushi was f!@#$ing amazing. They both just went to another level especially Tana, what a performance. I'm excited to see Omega vs. Tana at WK13 and it'll probably be match of the decade.

With the announcement of Okada separating from Gedo as his manager, I guess its official that Okada is completely a face now. That means Tanahashi, Okada, and Omega are the top three faces. So who are the top heels in NJPW? I for one think Tonga is getting there.

eh, i feel like heel and face is kinda blurred, and with njpw presented more an athletic competition, then a straight good guy vs bad guy type thing, i dont think it matters that much. for an example... kenny is cheered like nuts, but still has tons of heel mannerisms/moments in the ring. naito is stupid over, but id say hes probably closer to a heel than a face in the traditional sense (unless spitting in someones face is looked upon fondly in japan, as opposed to america). okada and chaos still have heel moments, but it feels like jay white is moving closer towards the pure out heel aspect, and okada is cheered for the most part.
in fact, ill go ahead and say that suzuki-gun are full out heels (although suzuki gets cheered a good portion of the time too), the tongans are full out heels, and jay white is a full out heel. everybody else is kinda blurred, and then of course you have guys like tanahashi, ibushi, taguchi, kushida, are full out faces. but yea, im gonna stick with the lines being blurred mainly.

Forgot to mention, it was great seeing Katsuyori Shibata in Tana's corner.

Wow, that match was phenomenal. Unfortunate that Ibushi didn't get the nod, but what a way to end an exceptional G1. There's quite a few matches in consideration for best of the tournament, and this one is one of them.
Also very interesting will be Omega/Ishii and Juice/Cody coming out of the show.

I think they're saving Omega vs Ibushi for the MSG show...anyway, Omega vs Tanahashi at the dome will be great. I feel like they're also building towards Okada vs Jericho, but everything else still needs to play out. I think the next few months will be excellent!

Hopefully Omega is still there by April.

I'm a little surprised Omega vs. Ishii is happening on a Destruction show, i guess Ibushi will face Omega at King Of Pro Wrestling in October.

Is there a NJPW World app on the Roku or is the only way to watch it though their site on a computer?
