Has anyone ever done an angle where the champ is tired of being champion but wants to lose it honestly so he’s getting more and more frustrated because he keeps winning when the odds are stacked against him? Seems like it’d be a perfect Cena angle. snt that just brock lesnar's gimmick?

N4 Tama vs sanada-zzz Yano vs zsj-fucking great! Better than the ishii match. Yano is great at this no BS thing this year, but I think the thing people are underplaying is that it is great solely because he’s been doing the other stuff for so long. You can’t separate it, it’s all the same package Juice vs Ibushi was decent, nothing crazy but solid Naito vs ishii- they always have good matches and this is no different. Not their best but great anyway. Ishii was straight clubbing him Goto vs omega—also great. Wont change any apinions on omega but liked it a lot
B block continues to be really good
there's enough matches now where I can do an easy top 6 so far (just to get the ZSJ vs. Yano match in there ha)
1. Omega vs. Naito N2 2. Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Kota Ibushi N2 3. Tetsuya Naito vs. Tomohiro Ishii N4 4. Kenny Omega vs.Hirooki Goto N4 5. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Minoru Suzuki 6. Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Toru Yano

Five for that last one is absurd

Seems like it’d be a perfect Cena angle. I’d love to see this as like a lazy heel ala Don Muraco wants to lose the title because he doesn’t like carrying it around in a Halliburton, but keeps accidentally winning.

G1's been solid so far, it's very cool to finally have english commentary for all the dates.

im having a feeling they're gonna have Jay White go up against Omega. Seeing as he beat him for the US title, that would be nutty though if they had him drop to Jay White. Fuck that, that won't happen. But, I do see Jay White getting his shot. Soon.

I can see White making it to the finals, but doubt he’d win the whole thing. Or if he does win maybe he’ll lose that stupid briefcase.

Stephanie McMahon is making a "historic announcement on Raw". I'm hoping for a Vince retirement but I figure he'd probably do that in person himself.
Also, does a GWN subscription get you live showings of the Impact PPVs or do they go up like a day later?

Yeah I fucks with SANADA, but Tonga is a shit sandwich.
Checking out Dojo Pro, this guy doing a shitty Mankind rip is whack.

I'm just skipping G1 this year. I'll look to this thread for the matches to watch. I just can't be bothered.

Played catchup this morning N5 ok fell asleep last night so just going back and starting n4 over
elgin vs. white-some scary mess ups. a lot of it is fairly generic, by the end it got pretty good. it's still a lifeless elgin match, and he just isn't really bringing anything to the table right now. some will definitely say this is white's best match so far, because it is closest to what people who want traditionally "good" g1 matches want
hashi vs suzuki is ok but seems a bit long in the tooth.
evil vs makabe-fine, nothing stood out
tanahashi vs fale was pretty great, I was prepared to write it off as nothing but by the end, great
okada vs hangman-this is probably the best hangman match I've ever seen. solid main event n6 ibushi vs yano-yano is 3/3, he's having the most fun matches of the whole thing. this was a little bit more of traditional yano tactics, but ibushi was game and it was tons of fun
sanada vs. zsj-this was wrestled much more like a zsj match that I thought it would be. this isn't sanada's best match or anything but I think that it is possibly one of his most interesting? because he isn't trying to do the traditional njpw style. crowd was real into it and it was good
naito vs. juice-kind of felt like your typical naito match, then got turned up at the end and got really good. the most "normal" njpw match of the night so far.
tama vs omega-I haven't checked twitter yet but I feel like people will trash this, but I liked it. there's a lot of bs obv but I thought it all worked and was fun. would rather see that than tama try to work a normal match
ishii vs goto rocked, one of the better matches so far, you know the deal here
this may have been the best overall show so far. thought it was a ton of fun top matches so far: 1. omega vs naito 2. zsj vs ibushi 3. goto vs ishii 4. naito vs ishii 5. goto vs omega
