NJPW G1 Climax 25: Day 7 (7/29/2015)- Fukuoka, Japan

JAY WHITE & DAVID FINLAY JR. vs. MASCARA DORADA & TIGER MASK IV- 4.5/10

RYUSUKE TAGUCHI, SATOSHI KOJIMA, YUGI NAGATA, & YOHEI KOMATSU vs. THE BULLET CLUB (Yujiro Takahashi, Karl Anderson, Tama Tonga, & Cody Hall)- 5/10
Well… now I know what Tama Tonga’s finisher is.

MICHAEL ELGIN & TOMOAKI HONMA vs. CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI)- 6.75/10

HIROOKI GOTO & JUSHIN “THUNDER” LIGER vs. CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada & Gedo)- 6.25/10
AWESOME face-off between Okada and Goto at the beginning, both wearing their belts. Good match. I can’t wait to see these two face off.

G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Toru Yano Doc Gallows (w/the Bullet Club)- 0.5/10
A match of mostly bad comedy which didn’t make me laugh, and scene of the Bullet Club laying the boots to Yano, which had me cackling with glee when I was supposed to be afraid for Yano’s safety.

G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Togi Makabe vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan- 4.5/10

G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Kota Ibushi vs. Katsuyori Shibata- 8/10
Imagine an awesome match that occasionally gets derailed by doing stupid Ishii sh*t.

G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Bad Luck Fale (w/Cody Hall & Tama Tonga)- 6.75/10
A fine match, but I thought that Tanahashi finally getting the body slam came way too early.

G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Tetsuya Naito vs. AJ Styles- 8.5/10
AWESOME!

A pretty up and down show from New Japan. Just watch the good tournament matches and skip the rest.
