John Pollock & Wai Ting review NJPW’s G1 Climax 29 Day 13 (August 3) headlined by Kazuchika Okada vs. Sanada and Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kota Ibushi.

A BLOCK
August 3, 2019
Osaka, Japan
Osaka Prefectural Gym (EDION Arena Osaka)

  • Kazuchika Okada vs. Sanada (Recommended)
  • Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kota Ibushi (Recommended)
  • Will Ospreay vs. EVIL (Recommended)
  • Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Lance Archer (Recommended)
  • KENTA vs. Bad Luck Fale

CORRECTION: While unlikely, KENTA and Hiroshi Tanahashi are not mathematically out. There is a scenario where KENTA can win his final two matches and end the tournament tied with Okada and Ibushi at 12 points. KENTA has a loss to Okada and win over Ibushi and would force a playoff. Tanahashi’s is more complicated as he could end with 12 points and be tied with Okada, Ibushi, and EVIL. Tanahashi has a win over EVIL but losses to Okada and Ibushi. Tanahashi’s scenario is so complicated I don’t see any hope of it happening. The multi-person playoff is not something typical of recent G1s.
