NJPW
G1 Climax 34 Night One
Osaka, Japan
July 20th, 2024
A pretty good opening match here with a big size difference. Oleg came off looking like a monster pretty much.
3.75 / 5
Shota didn’t always look great here but still didn’t expect him to lose this.
2.5 / 5
This was fine but El Phantasmo just doesn’t do much to impress me.
2 / 5
Really good match here that mixed some stuff and showed Great O trying to out technical ZSJ.
3.5 / 5
7 minutes of both guys going full speed at each other and I loved it.
3.5 / 5
Sanada losing in under 5 minutes in a nothing match really.
1.5 / 5
A lot better than expected with a winner I didn’t see coming. Told a story here in the match with Uemura taking punishment and still pushing through.
3 / 5
Kidd shined here but sadly we got typical Evil which isn’t anything worth watching really.
2 / 5
A few parts that didn’t land right and the action really picked up going towards the end here. Takeshita really gave it his all and this was all action from both guys.
3.75 / 5
Fantastic main event to end night one. Two guys just going at it trying to prove to the other they are better. Great build up here and they didn’t over do it with too many close falls or finishers.
4 / 5
