NJPW G1 Climax 32 tournament is in full swing and we’ve got the full results from the stacked card of professional wrestling excellence!
For the uninitiated, the G1 Climax tournament is one of the biggest tournaments in wrestling, with a major prize on the line being chased by 28 different men, across four blocks of action.
The winner of the tournament will receive a IWGP Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 17 in January 2023.
However if the current IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, Jay White, wins the tournament then he gets to choose his own opponent for the big event.
The night was headlined by Jay White versus Taichi with the IWGP champ coming out victorious, after an exciting match with enough intrigue that many thought Taichi would actually pull out the win.
After the match, White cut a scathing promo while some in the disappointed Tokyo crowd were seen leaving the building. White, taunting them, asked in Japanese where they were going.
