Everyone had a decent chance in the ring and everyone looked good, but no one really got into a super competitive frame of mind. If anyone, Juice Robinson looked like he was taking it the most seriously.

It started in violent fashion with Suzuki Gun attacking Bullet Club before the bell and taking them all through the crowd. This gave Suzuki Gun a huge advantage which they continued to press back in the ring. They did their usual dirty tactics, but Bullet Club managed to mount a comeback with some good teamwork. I really like how they&#8217;re setting up Omega versus Suzuki. It should be a great, violent match with the possibility of getting crazy and chaotic. They also dropped hints that Tama Tonga might not even try to defeat Kenny Omega when they eventually have to fight in the G1 Climax by saying he&#8217;s more interested in Bullet Club than winning the G1.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Minoru Suzuki chases Kenny Omega and attacks him.

This one felt quick because of the nice pacing. It started with everyone a little hesitant, but it quickly became clear that the members of LIJ wouldn&#8217;t hold back very much. The match began with some nice individual efforts and moved on to some great tandem work by both teams.

Okada and Gedo mostly tried to take the match seriously, but the antics of Yano and the goofiness of some of Jado&#8217;s actions seemed to get them off of their game.

It started out as kind of a typical bout, but YOSHI-HASHI started to turn up the aggression by using the barricades at ringside and slapping Nagata on the head when they got back into the ring. Nagata didn&#8217;t like that very much, and the match become much more hard-hitting from there. YOSHI-HASHI showed some nice endurance by managing to work his way out of some submissions after having been in them for a long time. I feel like Nagata is going to have a tournament similar to Liger&#8217;s Super Jr. tournament this year, meaning he won&#8217;t win much but he&#8217;ll be the sentimental favorite.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 6<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/?tag=g1-climax-27-a-block-match\"><strong>G1 Climax 27 A Block Match<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Bad Luck Fale vs Togi Makabe<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Marty Asami; ring announcer: Makoto Abe; commentary: Kazuo Yamazaki, Soichi Shibata, Hiroki Mikami, Jushin Thunder Liger)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6034a61c0f','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6034a61c0f\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6034a61c0f\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Bad Luck Fale wins via pinfall after a Grenade<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 9:25<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nA pretty good match.

With was another big-man match, but the pace was very high throughout. Goto and Ishii went after each other hard right from the start. There were lots of stiff strikes, lariats, and headbutts, and both men absorbed a ton of punishment. One of my favorite sequences was when they ran the ropes, each of them changing directions multiple times and chasing the other until one of them finally hit a lariat.

Sabre used his technical skills to pick apart Tanahashi, but Tanahashi was able to counter with some big moves. Tanahashi&#8217;s injured arm was a huge target, but it seemed like Sabre wasn&#8217;t going for it. It all seemed to be part of Sabre&#8217;s plan though. This was a tough first match for Tanahashi, and it sets him up with a huge disadvantage going forward in the tournament. If Tanahashi was kind of injured before, he&#8217;s very injured now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 9<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/?tag=g1-climax-27-a-block-match\"><strong>G1 Climax 27 A Block Match<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Kota Ibushi vs Tetsuya Naito<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Red Shoes Unno; ring announcer: Kimihiko Ozaki; commentary: Kazuo Yamazaki, Soichi Shibata, Shinpei Nogami, Jushin Thunder Liger)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e6034a61d27','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e6034a61d27\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e6034a61d27\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Tetsuya Naito wins via pinfall after Destino<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 24:41<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother great match! This one increased in pace and intensity extremely well. Naito started off being his usual self, making Ibushi wait and telling everyone to &#8220;take it easy,&#8221; but Ibushi didn&#8217;t wait long before he started pressing the attack. Ibushi didn&#8217;t fight dirty, but he fought very aggressively. Naito matched Ibushi in aggressiveness though, going after Ibushi&#8217;s neck often. The match built to the point where many near falls took place, some of them nearly unbelievable (but not quite). This was a superb way to end the first night of the long journey towards the end of G1 Climax 27.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a very good show with consistently good matches (and a coupld of great ones). I think all of the tournament matches delivered a lot of excitement for this year&#8217;s G1 (except the Fale\/Makabe match which I thought was just prety good). I also liked the way the non-tournament matches set up some increased interest for the start of B Block on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Kota Ibushi vs Tetsuya Naito<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was definitely a great main event match. As much as I liked the two matches that preceded it, Naito and Ibushi put on a show that was on another level. This was the first night of the G1, so they needed to start things off in a good way. They certainly did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Block A Standings<\/strong><br \/>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-50\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-50\">\n<thead>\n<tr
