Also, I really loved the Ospreay/SANADA match last night. I wasn't sure if they were gonna go for the deal of Ospreay throwing everything he can at the heavyweights but still coming up short, so I was happy to see him get the win against SANADA.

I really hope Naito goes on a winning streak after this lost. Like, i didnt mind him losing to Taichi. It made perfect sense for the story they told. Im more mad at his loss to Toru Yano.

There is just something I dislike about Taichi, as much as you dislike Taguchi Ive actually warmed up to Taguchi this year, but i understand your feeling lol. Yoshi Hashi made the top of my list of people i dislike in NJPW

I liked Taichi characterwise, but never saw him as anything other than midcard. In the last year, hes changed my mind. He's not main event good, but he's "let him feud with the upper card guys" good.

He was good in the match with Ishii at Dominion. I don't see enough of him to have a valid opinion on him though.

, Ospreay was so close! I thought he was gonna hit Storm Breaker on that last attempt. At least next week Kenta or Okada have to lose, or at least draw. Let’s go Ibushiiii.

I'm surprised KENTA is undefeated so far, his match with Okada next week is gonna be very interesting. The best matches from Korakuen Hall this week has to be Ibushi vs. Ospreay, it might be better then their match at Wrestle Kingdom.

Both Ospreay matches were great. Moxley vs. Ishii was awesome too.
I guess I’m not over seeing Kenta in WWE and not really caring for him, so I’m just not into him leading with Okada. I’m hopeful that Okada vs. Ibushi will decide the block on the last A night.

My god, those two Ospreay matches (vs. Ibushi, vs. Okada) are two of the best I've ever seen. And I just watched them on the same day. Fun day!

will ospreay has been incredible this year. he legit has 5 match of the year candidates... okada, g1; ibushi, g1 and wk; dragon lee, dominion; and my personal favorite, vs takagi in the super jr finals. but man, that okada match was visually phenomenal, and told such a great story and continuing of ospreays ascension to heavyweight, and how close he was to taking down the man in njpw.

I am surprised how Archer has just been an awesome monster in the g1 matches....stepping his game up. Sad to say Kenta hasn't brought it like I thought he might, but I hope that is just my opinion and he is impressing people everywhere, because he deserves the recognition.

I would say he's better than he was in WWE, but I'm just not into him at this point. Maybe purely because I didn't follow his career pre-WWE like others, I don't know. But he just hasn't clicked with me.
Anyway, so this is looking like Ibushi's road to the finals... if he wins out he has 14 points. Okada would need two losses to be tied with him at 14, or really one loss because the 2nd would come from Ibushi. KENTA would need to lose twice to be at 12 points, or if it was a three way tie at 14 I can't say I know how that would play out. Tanahashi wouldn't be a factor since Ibushi would beat him in this scenario, and while EVIL is also at 6 right now it's fair to say he won't be a factor. Okada will face Archer, SANADA, and EVIL before the final block night against Ibushi. Hopefully he'll drop the match to SANADA, who kinda needs a big win with just 2 points so far.

Wow. B Block might be all Moxley at this point. At least from Naito’s standpoint he’d have to win out with Mox LOSING out to outscore him. I don’t think Mox is losing out.

I was slightly disappointed that Kenta lost to Okada. It looks like he's going to go on a losing streak now.

After last night, I gotta change my prediction for G1 Finals. Moxley vs Okada, Okada wins.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in the corner sad in the fetal position lol
