In my mind those are the same thing and anyone outside of the WWE fandom isn't in the "IWC".

Both G1 semifinals were pretty great, real excited for the finals, would be happy to see either Tsuji or ZSJ win. G1 final usually has something interesting happen storywise on the undercard too so that'll be fun. Probably been the best G1 since 2019

Hell yeah ZSJ did it. I didn't really expect it, second gaijin to ever win the G1. Finals was a solid match
He's taking the title match at KOPW which is interesting. I really wouldn't be sad to remove the G1 WK main event link, I think it opens up more potential winners.
Also pretty into Hiromu challenging Henare for the NEVER title. Hiromu as open weight champ would be great and open up a lot of potential matches with heavyweights.

dude wen't through the long way in japan going through noah learning from ogawa and actually taking the business seriously. good on that guy, really. hes been himself and has always wrestled and presented himself as such. seems like a nice guy the couple times ive chatted it up with him. for them to trust him enough to get the G1 and seemingly have a lot of ppl into it (in japan) is really cool to see.
it finally came home

Yeah it was very clear Zack never had the tourist mentality a lot of other foreigners have when working regularly for a Japanese company. Feel like there were so many times over the years that Zack could've conceivably been shot to the top (first thing that comes to mind is his run with Taka as his hypeman). Really glad to see him get the big G1 win - hopefully it converts.
I'd see Zack all the time at shows in Brooklyn in the mid 2010s when he was living in NY. Dude was a real one going to like Tuesday night noise shows and shit.

Always been high on ZSJ. That totally rocks and he deserves it. Heβs another one, like Dragon, who can pull a good match out of anyone because heβs that good.

He's got the title match at KOPW then Royal Quest is a week later so I really hope he wins the title and comes into the England show as champ, that'll be such a sick moment. Also makes the next few months more interesting, to figure out what's the WK main. Usually post G1 NJPW isn't super exciting so hopefully this year it's a bit different. Just an awesome moment to see him win it though

I think doing the title match before WK kinda sucks and telegraphs that they're bringing in an AEW guy to main event. Ospreay, Okada or Kenny

What are your thoughts on Tombstone Jesus? I had never heard of him untill now & I like him. He jobbed to Joey Janela in GCW, which I also enjoy.

Ospreay, Okada or Kenny I'm thinking it lets them elevate Zack by having him win the G1 then the title then he goes into Royal Quest as champ, but also means they can crown a Japanese talent at the Tokyo Dome, sort of gives them best of both worlds? However I dunno who that would be, probs a bit soon for Yuya, Tsuji, Umino or Ren? Hard to say, I hope it turns out interesting.

Oiwa is the guy once he gets back from NOAH. Oiwa absolutely killed it in the tag match I saw at KHall. Kaito/Oiwa vs Kenoh/Owada. Definitely go out of your way to check it out - a lot of great heat from the audience. Oiwa and Owada were the clear highlights.

He'd be fine with that since it would free him up to skeeve on the 19 year olds at NXT
