This was a battle of power with lots of big slams and suplexes. The pace was methodical for most of the match as both men were trying to overpower their opponent or find some leverage advantages to take control of the next round of slams. There were some heavy strikes thrown in increasingly as the match went on (mostly from Shingo), and the pace did pick up as the match approached the ten minute mark. Shingo&#8217;s momentum seemed to be growing later in the match, but Cobb&#8217;s power shut Shingo down more than once.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>G1 Climax 30 A Block Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Yujiro Takahashi<\/strong> (0 pts) <strong>vs Kazuchika Okada<\/strong> (0 pts)<br \/>\n(referee: Marty Asami)<\/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_69e73c6370f2c','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_69e73c6370f2c\" 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_69e73c6370f2c\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kazuchika Okada wins via submission with the Money Clip<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 12:01<\/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 \/>\nGood match. We&#8217;ve seen these two men face each other a lot since NJPW returned from hiatus, and Okada has had an overwhelming advantage in the series. For that reason, I didn&#8217;t see a ton of tension or intrigue heading into the match. The biggest new factor in this match is that Okada had his lower back taped up, and Rocky Romero said on commentary that Okada has had lingering back issues. That didn&#8217;t play a huge role in the match though, so there wasn&#8217;t a whole lot here that we haven&#8217;t seen before between Okada and Takahashi. Plus, without Gedo or any other Bullet Club members at ringside, Yujiro struggled mightily. The action was fine, i just felt like we&#8217;d seen it all before (and probably a little better).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Intermission<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe ring is cleaned and sanitized during a brief intermission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>G1 Climax 30 A Block Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Taichi<\/strong> (2 pts) (IWGP Tag Champ) <strong>vs Minoru Suzuki<\/strong> (2 pts) (NEVER Openweight Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Marty Asami)<\/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_69e73c6370f65','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_69e73c6370f65\" 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_69e73c6370f65\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Taichi wins via pinfall after Black Mephisto<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 12:11<\/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 \/>\nVery good match. This started with an extended brawl outside the ring with all sorts of weapons including a whole lot of chairs. Referee Marty Asami was nowhere to be seen after getting knocked down early in the match, so Suzuki and Taichi just tried to kill each other at ringside. Eventually Asami woke up, and the match made it into the ring. From there Suzuki and Taichi started trading a few hard shots, but a lot of the rest of the match was focused on holds and counters with both men looking to hit their finisher as quickly as possible. It felt like the first finisher would win, and it was really either man&#8217;s match up until the very end. I liked the match, though the later parts of the match inside the ring were more entertaining for me than the earlier brawling outside the ring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>G1 Climax 30 A Block Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Will Ospreay<\/strong> (2 pts) (RPW British Heavyweight Champ) <strong>vs Tomohiro Ishii<\/strong> (0 pts) (NEVER 6-Man Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Red Shoes Unno)<\/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_69e73c6370f99','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_69e73c6370f99\" 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_69e73c6370f99\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Will Ospreay wins via pinfall after Stormbreaker<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 18:20<\/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 \/>\nGreat match. Ospreay has put on a lot of muscle since before NJPW&#8217;s hiatus, and that helped him immensely in this match. Early on, it looked like Ospreay might try to fight Ishii in Ishii&#8217;s style of hard-hitting match, but Ospreay was able to pull Ishii into more of a hybrid of Ishii&#8217;s own style mixed with Ospreay&#8217;s faster-paced, counter-heavy exchanges. That mix seems to be exactly what this new version of Ospreay is going to bring to the ring, so in that sense, Ospreay had a strong advantage. However, Ishii is tough, and he&#8217;s angry all the time, so Ospreay still had a very hard time dealing with his fellow Chaos member. It was super fun seeing Ishii fight a different match than we&#8217;re used to seeing him have while still hitting Ospreay really, really hard with a whole lot of strikes. It was also super fun seeing Ospreay get frustrated when his own strikes seemed to do almost nothing to Ishii, so Ospreay varied his attacks until the started to have an effect. I think Ospreay&#8217;s new approach and his incredible confidence is going to serve him well in this year&#8217;s G1 Climax.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 6<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>G1 Climax 30 A Block Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Jay White<\/strong> (2 pts) w\/ Gedo<strong> vs Kota Ibushi<\/strong> (2 pts)<br \/>\n(referee: Red Shoes Unno)<\/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_69e73c6370fcc','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_69e73c6370fcc\" 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_69e73c6370fcc\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Jay White wins via pinfall after Blade Runner<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 20:28<\/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 \/>\nGreat match. Jay White had a game plan that he stuck to throughout the entire match, and it was a plan that could have ramifications throughout the rest of the tournament. Almost immediately, White attacked Ibushi&#8217;s knee, and he kept attacking the knee at every opportunity. Ibushi struggled for a while, but he eventually went into his zone where very little seems to affect him. Even then though, Ibushi was still limping and visibly slowed by White&#8217;s attacks. There were, of course, some distractions from Gedo and some stalling tactics from White, but for the most part White just fought a very smart match without resorting to some of his dirtier tactics. With the damage White did, it will be interesting to see how that affects Ibushi in his next few matches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show
