Show starts @ 2am EDT / 7am BST. 75 MINUTES TILL SHO-TIMEAfter ninety league matches across 17 events across the Pacific and all over Japan, we are down to our final three bouts in G1 Climax 36. Tonight will see the final set, as well as a fond farewell being issued to a three time G1 Climax tournament winner in Hiroyoshi Tenzan. Opening VTR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8Fk_El5K2sThe Complete History of: Hiroyoshi Tenzan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8qy87Ox6QI>Hiroyoshi Tenzan Retirement Exhibition Match (Ceremony after the match)Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs Satoshi Kojima>G1 Climax 36 Semifinal MatchYota Tsuji (A1) vs Yuya Uemura (B2)>G1 Climax 36 Semifinal MatchRyohei Oiwa (A2) vs Callum Newman (B1)>6-Man Tag MatchAaron Wolf, Boltin Oleg & Tatsuya Matsumoto vs TMDK (Zack Sabre Jr., Hartley Jackson & Kosei Fujita)>10-Man Tag MatchTogi Makabe, Toru Yano, Yuji Nagata, YOH & Master Wato vs Unbound Co.

(Drilla Moloney & Daiki Nagai) vs Death Riders (Gabe Kidd & Wheeler Yuta) >8-Man Tag MatchKonosuke Takeshita, Taichi, El Desperado & Ryusuke Taguchi vs HOUSE OF TORTURE (Ren Narita, SANADA, DOUKI & SHO) >8-Man Tag MatchHirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI, Masatora Yasuda & Taisei Nakahara vs United Empire (HENARE, Great-O-Khan, Francesco Akira & Jakob Austin Young)
>>21007041Here's the final standings for this year's G1.Great O-Khan finishes dead last within the entire tournament. Based off their own unwritten rules, O-Khan will likely need to qualify for next year's G1 should he not be able to at least pick up some major singles accomplishments before then (this in kayfabe is why OSKAR, Yuto & Wolf had to qualify).
shota umino fucking sucks
>>21007041I will be crying during the Tenzan retirement
>>21007041/GRIP/chads how we feelin tonight
This G1 has been boring
This G1 has been kino
321OSHAAAAAAAA
>>21007064grippin hard
This has honestly been the best G1 since 2019 easily
This has been the best G1 of the decade. The final four are all solid (sure I would've swapped Newman out, but for who, with Umino out? The B block was kneecapped from the start)
>>21007134The future has started to feel bright this year and there are even more solid guys on excursion right now that I have high hopes for
>>21007164Even the guys not on excursion look great. Nagai and Matsumoto are both showing great character and Nakahara will clearly get there once they loosen the reins on him a little.
Boltin should be the gaijin they heavily push to the top, not this Callum faggot who's gonna get in the toybox soon
>>21007164Murashima is gonna hit like a fucking wrecking ball when he comes back
haven't watched Oiwa/Takeshita yet, I'll do that since it sounds like uncle Dave slept on it
>>21007223I thought it was takeshita's best of the tournament honestly, I really like how Oiwa approached their match
I haven't been watching but it makes me happy to hear that New Japan fans have apparently been enjoying it. No way I'm going to get caught up but maybe I'll subscribe and watch the semifinals.
>>21007223>Dave rated Takeshita vs. Oiwa the same as Kevin Knight vs. Chris JerichoThe day he's listed as having a stake in AEW is the day we can lay this memelord's modern influence to rest
>>21007275keep seething you fat titted bitch kek
>>21007261You don't have to watch it all. Just make sure you watch Tsuji vs. Boltin, Tsuji vs. Oiwa and Oiwa vs. Takeshita.
>>21007281Is that some schizo you're obsessed with, I don't follow the retarded drama of this board
>>21007314>He says, obsessing over AEW and some jews star ratings
>>21007275I'm sorry Dave hurt you :(
>>21007328bitch I just want people to stop acting like he's an authority on anything anymore, I'll assume you're just talking shit and not actually whiteknighting Meltzer
Heineken, Caesar salad, and wings. I'm ready!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2judm5t9Qdo
>>21007063I have no attachment to him, but that career retrospective video hit me in the feels. Kojima was really the only option for an opponent
>>21007367Only AEW fags throw it back for him, don't even acknowledge them
oh we feeling bros
ITS TIME
>>21007441I'm excited for the semi finals but I'm legit more into Tenzan's retirment after watching some of his old G1 stuff.
We all love Tenzan don't we, lads?
why aren’t you faggots watching stardom right now? they’re live, come to the stardom thread, now.
>>21007447understandable. he will never wrestle after this while the guys in the semifinals have 10 and more years on their way
>>21007449Yes, Trump-san.
TIME FOR SOME REAL PRO WRESTLING.
>>21007453Only if maika is on
>>21007454and that's why it is bullshit for NJPW on forcing him to retire.
>>21007441Watched ddt last two days shows and ignored b clock, feeling pretty pumped to see the outcome of this g1really happu that both yuya and oiwa made it to the semi
>>21007134Agreed. This year's G1 was a massive win compared to past years. People like Oiwa and Yuya massively leveled up their status and showed the fuck up for this G1.
Wow no more IPhone screen video trons
>>21007460I don't think the he can't wrestle at his top
>JAY on Tenzan's retirement showWhere's /ourguy/ Robbie X??
>>21007460Have you seen what his ankle does when he walks? The man can barely walk.
>>21007408>tfw it’s 2 ampizza bagels and liquid death it is i suppose
>>21007475CHUD
>>21007472thishe literally needs a bunch of steel rods put in his leg or something, maybe a bone transplant like Adam Cole had
O-Khan had a generational G1 (derogatory)
>Great O Khan
I shoot forgot Ospreay was the third member of the Champs
>>21007483like your 350 pound ass could do any better
I feel like I am the only guy who likes heel Oka. It just fits him to be a piece of shit. I can't forgive him eliminating Boruchin Orekku though.
Kinda wild how a haffu with a luchador father in Yasuda ends up lacking the most flavour of his young lion group and the previous, seemed like a surefire thing but his twin brother seems to have found that sauce in NOAH
>>21007488you gonna be alright seething at shadows champ, O-Khan won't fuck you
>>21007499>but his twin brother seems to have found that sauce in NOAHI don't know if I agree with this. I agree on Yasuda though, but I think his injuries have also slowed him down a lot. It's kind of like Yuto pre-excursion, but he came back a completely different man so maybe that goes for Yasuda too.
Akira stole those pants from a 2000's goth raver's closet
>>21007514but at least his hair are no longer green kek
>>21007514He seems to have stolen 20 extra pounds while he was at it
>>21007514i was just thinking he looks like a geek like Quackenbush
>>21007518He came back to italy during the whole g1 run, please understand
>>21007518pizza pasta will do that to ya
>back to back shitty heel tag matches
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
>Sanada might leavefuck
>>21007529>he doesn't understand HoT KINOFor shame anon
Well at least Callum can't have whatever remains of his back thrown into chairs tonight
>>21007537it's not the same without Evil
>light up thighs stayed on for once but the electric board is bugging outthis outfit is cursed isn’t it? kek
>>21007538Oiwa's not like thatHe's gonna GRIP it and pull it right off the bone
is the doll the DDT universal champion?
>>21007534I think it was supposed to say Bye Bye Tenzan
>>21007547fuggin rip if so
>>21007546That's Taguchi
holy fucking based
>>21007546No. The Universal is not the ironman heavymetalweight championship
>all the Taichi kino we missed out on in this G1
why is Taguchi trying?
mongolian choppy was a nice touch
>>21007578>ishii over jake lee>taichi to sub in for uminoThe perfect G1 was right there
lol ddt
WE SKYWALKIN
OH FUCK
THE YE TAY
more like house of BDSM
>spends 5 minutes in ddt and does a dieno spot in his first match back
Did Ren just have his role taken live
You boys think HoT is gonna become more workrate-y with Shun now or is he just gonna be the only guy who tries
I guess we're saving Shun hitting his finish on Take for tomorrow
They couldve made a bigger spectacle out of that desu
Well goddamn Nooj actually managed to snag Shun fucking Skywalker. That's a huge get.
Is that his DG music?
>>21007606third option he gets sucked into the vortex of interferrence spam
>>21007587I just really, really hope it didn't come down to that one American show being the deciding factor in Taichi not getting in
HIT THAT DRILLA JUST RIGHT
>>21007605He was never a leader guy, he just doesn't have the character for that>>21007616Yes.>>21007619He kind of already did that in Z-BRATZ
I MIGHT HIT THAT DRILLA RIGHT
POST IT
Nagai looks so adorable without facial hair, I just want to pinch his cheeks
wait wtf I didn't look at the card Yuta is here
why is yuta here anyway?
shoulda let the third death rider come out with his two cups of soda
>>21007646maybe he was in town visiting his grandparents or something
yuta looks like a young lion lolget his ass, big daike
DAIKI CHADS WE HERE
>>21007646gabe is playing the whole "i hate njpw" angle and i guess that yuta being there as death rider makes sense... and he probably has a visa to go back to america
Why is Yuya SANADAmaxxing his body
>>21007657I deleted my Nagai webm. Awkward
>theyre comparing Yuta to DaikiGrim Rider
>>21007661*YutaToo many fucking four letter Y names wrestling for this company
based Death Riders are everywhere
>>21007663i miss by wife, hyo.
Oh shit he showed up early
>>21007668KWAB
>>21007668kek
>>21007663Yuta is the perfect foil for Nagai to get a first win with
>>21007662I got you anon
Odds on Moroni betraying UnCo here?
Killa this nigga, Drilla
>>21007678Well after Gabe spitting at him and whatnot I doubt it
>>21007667fraid’ so
>>21007675Lmfao, this is literally the one I had. Thank ya
>>21007678Where would he even go?
>>21007682I don't know man, rememeber the match that made him join the War Dogs? ...Or how much sense Kidd betraying NJPW made?>>21007688The toybox
>>21007688Take a detour off king’s road and head through the forbidden door
>>21007686One more for your good taste anon :.)
boooooooooooooooooo
based AEW always comes out on top
>Yuta got the winShooketh
>>21007703HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LETS GOOO TONIKAN! FUCK NJPW!!!!
>joins HoTalready ruined
theyre playing Garcia's music lol
>>21007698I definitely prefer him with facial hair desu
>>21007711The stache fit him really wellGlad he trimmed the hair though, he looks great lined up
>>21007709Tbf Yuta's actual music is dogshit
Man how bad was Umino's concussion if they can't have him challenge?
did the guy controlling the music have a stroke
>>21001911Lock in
>>21007722zack ripped his head off, pls understand
>>21007722i hope they took his brain out, washed some of the kwab off of it, and put it back in
NO WHERE MY BROTHERS AT?
>>21007722I thought he was jumping Gabe tomorrow. But it may be after Gabe defends against Drilla
>>21007722He will challnege, at Wrestle Kingdom.
ya hear them birds chirping, nigga?
No more BROTHERS?Oh well, LETS GET HIGH is a solid replacement but I'm gonna miss it
>>21007738This gimmick is over af with me brother
>War Dogs gearMy man gets some new shit it's been 8 months
Let's get high does NOT work as a tag theme
Yuto Ice is just Jap Guy Fieri
>>21007746Ishimori is grandpa status now, sorry you had to find out this way
oh, YOH has the belt
Walker do not pull "all the stars are here" with Nagata walking out
The power level and aura difference between these teams is crazy
stupid that nagata didn't get his own entrance as a 3rd generation mate retires
Makabe just randomly picking fights with young niggas
yoh needs to steal my virginity right now
>>21007757Good chance he comes out during the retirement ceremony
>>21007756Gedo evens it out for his team
>>21007760Genuinely a good thing. He lights it the fuck up when he does, for whatever fucking reason. He made that Uemura undercard match feel like a main event
>>21007760that's his son
nice, theyre still on the tag matches. was worried i missed the good stuff
>>21007761i can’t believe sho time traveled just to make this post>>21007768kek ice does look like he could be his son
Fucking love OSKAR. Good big guy and premeire hater.
WHAT
>>21007791you son of a bitch
>>21007791thanks a lot
>>21007791I was fucking LOSING IT when he was on commentary for SANADA vs. O-Khan
I assume Yano's homecoming main event is him and Makabe vs KOB
>OSKAR/Yano angle
fucking crazy result lol
>>21007802guaranteed at this point
I CANT THINK
What is this succulent Chinese meal meme?
>we are getting KOB vs. MVP>in 2026
this nigga got two surnames
tmdk theme is genuinely timeless
>>21007811https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4bPMxeCnos
>>21007811>he doesn't knowEducate yourself, anonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4bPMxeCnos
>>21007298i think shingo vs takeshita was the best match of the tournament so far
>>21007815I'll never forgive Zack for changing his at his peak
>>21007811anon please, you’re making me feel old
>>21007823You are either going to have your mind blown by the matches I mentioned or we have completely different tastes.
Tatsuya looks like a stud. Maybe a little sexo
Matsumoto finna draw the fujo dimes when he returns from excursion
>>21007819>>21007821I can't say I've ever seen anything like that before. Kino I guess
Matsumoto being paired with these guys is so fucking perfect for him. I hope Goto-gun gets to become their own proper stable soon, they have the members now.>>21007828>>21007829He already gets huge pops everytime he trashtalks someone and the fujos realize how deep his voice is
The amount of Strong Zero in Hartley's bloodstream right now
>KAZAKHSTAN GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD>ALL OTHER COUNTRIES ARE RUN BY LITTLE GIRLS>KAZAKHSTAN #1 EXPORTER OF POTASSIUM>ALL OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE>INFERIOR POTASSIUM
>>21007828this latest haircut is sexo repellent i’m afraid
>>21007824you can pinpoint the exact moment the crowds stopped popping for him. It was when he changed his theme
>>21007827or maybe im just someone who really likes shingo and really hates takeshita lol
>>21007837what food has potassium?
>>21007841you’d be stoned if you said you hate takeshita in an aew crowd, not even kidding
>>21007841Then surely you'd like a match without Take more?
Holy fucking prime 2010s NJPW-level tag spot
Boltin you fucking beast
damn bitchtits got lifts
Wolf vs Fajita to lead into Wolf vs Zack?
>Wolf vs FajitaHoly fuck
>>21007868>>21007870fucking kino dude
>>21007868probably the best dome match they can do for Wolfe
Damn that's a nice logo
Oh my fuck

>>21007899AI is always a bit off sometimes
I AM GRIPPING MY SHIT. HE CAN'T LOSE
Praying circle for Oiwa to kill that fucking chud
GRIP GODS WAKE TF UP

so it's confirmed that oiwa is kojima and tenzan's love child
*cums inside Kane*
>>21007912bro out here looking like a viking
>>21007924Nani?
At this point Oiwa has more momentum and support than Tsuji and even Uemura.
>>21007924wut
>Inoki aindroid is actually going to come out at a WK and shoot on the heavyweight champ
brootal broozes
>>21007924
Send Callum off to AEW please Grippa
>>21007931he’s the next money mover, they need to hurry up & strap a rocket onto him before its too late. like deadass
Finna thigh slap
>>21007943we don't want him
>>21007904What were your thoughts on flair’s match that night?
Do those in the box seats if you wanna impress me
>starts match>immediately takes back bump on chairsThis is a JR hiring ladies to beat him up situation, right?
good thing he wears long tights, the bruises on his thighs are worse
>>21007538you were so wrong kek
Oiwa Must Suffer
>>21007964oh now the Tenzan helmet cursed him already?
HE GRIP
yes, callum he's kawaii when he suffer
OOOOOH WE HEADLOCKIN
>back already busted up>do a spot to blow it out even moreospreay taught him well
>>21007954it was as good as anyone could expect from a 70 year old man with an artificial heart who was also extremely drunk. I enjoyed the match immensely.
So this is what sold out Ryogoku looks like with mostly 2 per box seat >7,777人(超満員札止め)
Oiwa is unintentionally fucking Yuya by going arm-based while being more over
>can survive long tours by only doing headlock takeovers, headlocks, and a spinning lariat in multi-man tags>will still get popsOiwa is a fucking genius
>>21007984thank you tenzan for drawing the house
>>21007988Ehhh, Oiwa is a power/technical guy, Yuya is more all around. Oiwa has four fucking finishes, only one of them targets the arm. And Yuya is still super over, I don't think it's hurting him
>>21007991He gets the business
hahahaha get fucked`
COME ON OIWA
>>21007988Has Yuya hit the Deadbolt in this G1 yet?
>>21008001He's hit the release. I don't think he's done the pinning version deadbolt
MONEY CLIP LOCKED IN
SNAP THAT FUCKING ARM
>>21007988>Oiwa is unintentionally fucking Yuyaoiwa would never, he would intentionally fuck yuya
that's a nice hold
He's being a little too Tenzan focused bros I'm feeling nervous....
Im GRIPPING my shit with anxiety
MAKE WAYMAKE WAYMAKE WAYPUNCH HIS DICK
Callum's thigh slaps really are egregious
Oiwa losing
>>21008020you’re way too comfortable , you must be a nigger
Wrestling Oiwa and Uemura must feel like a (relatively) easy night
finisher is a side headlock?Fucking BASED
FUCK YES
GET GRIPPED
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Grippa vs Yuya final incoming Very based
HE DID IT BY GOD
WE GRIPPIN THAT TROPHY, BROS
WE’RE GRIPPING IT ALL
OIWA OH MY GODDDDDD I CAN DIE RIGHT NOW
>>21008029finishers are a side headline and a spinning lariathe's a certified /OUR GUY/
IMMA GRIP AND SIP NIGGA
Sun vs Moon, lfg
>>21008043that fucking rules
FUCK OFF GAIJIIIIIIIIIIIIN YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
HOLY YUYA TOWELS
here comes the 2026 G1 winner
I'm not gonna lie I dont care who wins this Im in it for Oiwa tomorroq
OSSHATEMASU
Yuya's first A Block match
Oiwa being there when at the start of the year Yuto was calling him just a mob kek it feels good
Wildfire is based btw
WE FUCKING DID IT GRIPSTERS
This song is a rib that's gone too far
>>21008054I reckon Oiwa takes it, but this is going to be a fucking banger
BIG MATCH TRUNKS, NO SMILE. FUCK
>>21008064genuinely amazing theme song but go ahead
Gotta give Callum credit, he was a believable winner there: helped sell the finish well
>wildfire
Tsuji's Phillip Marlowe gimmick is so weird
>>21008069for a woman maybe
Lmfao fucking crazy stats
don't let this nigga enter Wrestle Kingdom with this shit. it'll be a repeat of the Zack/Shota main event where the crowd is too disgusted to even react to the match that takes place after
WHY IS TSUJI IN TRUNKS WHAT THE FUCK
Still can't get used to yuya's toothpaste panties
>>21008074keep seething & just accept your sexuality already
>>21008079That's his final boss trunks. When he wears them he can do the reverse powerbomb he never does otherwise
>>21008073I looked into it, Marlowe is a popular bakery-cafe in Japan that makes a cup pudding that was hot for a while
NEW>>21008086>>21008086>>21008086
>>21008079His big/personal match gear
>>21008078>*Is the first and only gaijin Wrestle Kingdom main event winner and does it with the worst theme song ever in you're path*
>>21008089Yeah thats where "Trust the Flan" posting comes from. It's still a bizarre gimmick, but Tsuji is based so it doesn't really matter
>>21008091>>21008088It looks horrible
>>21008100As with the hat/trenchcoat/pudding gimmick/jpop theme it's literally just Tsuji being Tsuji, and Tsuji's a fucking dork. It works in a weird way
>>21008108trunks do not work with tsuji
I like to believe that the youth movement this year started because of Ice's 1.5 promo
>>21008148damn right
