After revealing most of the key matches yesterday, New Japan Pro Wrestling has now announced the full schedule for this summer's G1 Climax.

All of the shows will air live on New Japan World. The first four shows, along with the final three shows, will feature English commentary from Kevin Kelly and Don Callis. Alongside Block A and Block B matches there will be tag matches on the cards featuring action from the opposite block. Overall, each show is expected to have around 9-10 matches.

NJPW's site did not specify which matches will main event and which ones won’t, but considering what was announced at Kizuna Road yesterday morning, those matches will probably be the ones that headline each card.

That's just how Gedo does things with the prelim matches. There is nothing to read into it. Nothing that happens between stablemates in NJPW tournaments matters.

not that i was expecting any storyline stuff, but it's a match that I just wasn't expecting seeing and I do have some interest in seeing the interaction.

See... I just don't get how you can be interested in seeing the interaction if we all know it will never lead to anything.

because I like wrestling and especially love seeing new match ups, in promotions where stories are the priority, i follow it like WWE which i just look at clips and read recaps, but haven't watched a full show in a loong time
