listening to F4W's DR. KEITH PRESENTS: New Japan's 2014!
There was mention of a rumor that G1 Climax turning 25, they want to do a huge show bringing in people from all over the world and make it a 4 block tournament

I guess it depends how big the blocks are. It could get WAY out of hand just in terms of show length, but they could also use it to get guys some days off. The main problem is that I don't really see them bringing in that much "foreign" talent. Aside from the Americans they normally use, they'd probably grab one or two guys from ROH (Cole if he's healthy, or maybe Bennett), one or two guys from CMLL maybe Alberto if AAA will let him lose enough (could set up title defenses for him in Mexico), Rob Conway, and MAYBE Jeff Jarrett. I really don't see them using too many "new" guys than that.

i'm guessing the same thing, blocks are already 11 guys, maybe reduce the blocks to 8 and expand the tournament to some more dates. I can also see them bring in some NOAH and DG guys who could easily jump from show to show without much expense.
red, if you haven't, check that podcast out, it was a really nice review of NJPW's 2014

Heheheh. They only gave Okada vs. Tanahashi from this year's Dome show ****1/4
NAKAMURA IBUSHI 83 MILLION STARS! AND LAST YEAR'S G1 MATCH WAS BETTER!
It would not surprise me if they jacked off to New Japan matches.
