G1 Climax Update: Part 2

7/24/2019

0 Comments

 
With the 29th edition of the G1 Climax fully underway it's our chance to pull back the curtain and focus our attention on those talents that are putting themselves right into the spotlight for the rest of the year. Currently IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada is tied for the #1 spot in Block A with eight points which is very similar to Kenny Omega's performance last year in the tournament. A number of new faces to the main event level are trying to establish themselves as big names in the promotion two names that have caught my attention are KENTA who returned to New Japan very recently. The other name is former IWGP Tag Team Champion Lance Archer who has never really been given an opportunity as a singles competitor in New Japan. 

At this point, the biggest surprise of the tournament so far in my book was seeing KENTA defeat the former World Champion and "Ace" of New Japan Hiroshi Tanahashi and with his victory it very likely that Taichi will be receiving a title shot against Naito in the future.
