NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [A & B Block Finals]: Golden Ticket.

DAY SEVENTEEN - A BLOCK FINAL – Lance Archer v EVIL - Archer has had a very very good G1 and this was a huge win over EVIL, who just took Okada to the near distance just a couple nights ago. Perhaps that was the story. A chokeslam reversal of EIE, an F5 and the …

NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Fifteen & Sixteen Review]: Made In Japan.

DAY FIFTEEN - A BLOCK – SANADA v Lance Archer - A good match between two hungry guys, one who has shocked the world and had himself a tournament, and another, who's had a fine, albeit disappointing G1 (compared to 2018), but shocked the world with a win over the tournament favorite and IWGP champ …

NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Thirteen & Fourteen Review]: DestinWHOA!

DAY THIRTEEN - A BLOCK – Bad Luck Fale v KENTA - Bad Match Fale needed a roll-up to defeat 205 Live's Hideo Itami! Need I say more? No, but I will. To KENTA's credit, he was able to pull one of the better matches in this tourney out of the Worst Wrestler of 2019. …

NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Eleven & Twelve Review]: CHAOS From The Top Down.

DAY ELEVEN - A BLOCK – Kota Ibushi v Bad Luck Fale - Kota Ibushi in a *1/4 match. Nuff said. - 1.25/5 – Zack Sabre Jr. v Will Ospreay - As great as you'd imagine. Two of the, if not the two best, British wrestlers in the world go full out for 20-minutes. From …

NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Nine & Ten Review]: Trankillo.

DAY NINE - A BLOCK – Kota Ibushi v Lance Archer - I'm happy that Archer's vast improvement is getting recognized in the thick of Moxley and KENTA's WWE-to-NJPW excellence. Big Lance has been great. This opener was no exception, with some of the most serious knee strikes you'll ever see (sorry, Omega!). One knee …

NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Seven & Eight Review]: Starmakers.

DAY SEVEN - A BLOCK – Zack Sabre Jr. v Bad Luck Fale - I'll take a 6-minute count-out loss for Fale! - 2.75/5 – Hiroshi Tanahashi v Lance Archer - A really good match that felt more like an appetizer for the two than anything truly epic. But the story was great and Archer …
