The 14th day of G1 Climax action took place in Osaka’s EDION arena. This card featured matches from the B Block.

Author’s note: This recap is going to be a little less detail-oriented than the last one. Unfortunately, I was unable to watch this live, and thus was not able to provide thorough notes as I was watching. Thankfully though, there are only two matches really worth discussing in depth.

And, of course, SPOILERS FROM HERE.

 

Hirooki Goto vs. Tama Tonga

NEVER Openweight Champion Hirooki Goto defeated Tama Tonga via disqualification when, of course, Tanga Loa and Bad Luck Fale interfered. It’s pretty clear at this point that the “Bullet Club OGs” storyline is a complete disaster. It’s one thing to have characters want to spread havoc, but when they don’t even care about winning matches through their havoc, what reason does the audience have to care? The Tongans have go away heat, plain and simple.

Oh, the match sucked and nobody cared.
