My Ratings for Block Match from G1 Day 18
Posted: Aug 16th, '16, 22:37
Since I can't find the full show, here are thoughts and ratings for the Block matches from that day.
BLOCK B MATCH: Tomoaki Honma vs. Yuji Nagata- 6.5/10
BLOCK B MATCH: Toru Yano vs. YOSHI-HASHI- 0.5/10
YOSHI-HASHI does the impossible by actually making Yano wrestle like a normal wrestle for an entire minute or so before it devolved into the same old Yano spots.
BLOCK B MATCH: Katsuyori Shibata vs. EVIL- 6.75/10
EVIL hits Shibata in the injured arm with a chair. No DQ. Aside from that the match was very good, with EVIL working over the shoulder the whole time before picking up the surprise win to spoil Shibata’s hopes of winning the tournament.
BLOCK B MATCH: Michael Elgin vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima- 8.25/10
Nakajima worked over Elgin’s knee as well as his injured shoulder. There was a NOAH contingent at ringside to cheer Nakajima on, and he picked up the win. This loss crushes Elgin’s hopes of winning the tournament, but at least he gets to cap off a great showing in this year’s G1 with another awesome match.
BLOCK B MATCH: Kenny Omega vs. Tetsuya Naito- a PERFECT 10/10!
HOLY F*CKING SH*T THIS MATCH! AMAZING storytelling, MASTERFUL selling by Omega, and some absolutely UNBELIEVABLE reversals by Naito! Now I’m going to have to go back and rewatch Scurll vs. Ospreay and the Tokyo Dome main event before filling out my year-end awards ballot.
