The G1 Climax: Part 1

We are two days away from the beginning of the most prestigious tournament in wrestling that being the G1 Climax. From experience it is excessively difficult to keep track of all the shows and the matches. This is why I will be doing something a little different this year as I will be posting weekly updates on the tournament and the status of each competitor as the G1 progresses. To start we need an overview of the first part of the tournament which for me is the month of July and early August. Below are a list of the matches that have been announced for the tournament take a look, because in my opinion this year's tournament is stacked!!
