New Japan Pro-Wrestling continued the G1 Climax on Saturday. The show was most notable for the four-way tie that emerged at the top of A Block. Jay White, Will Ospreay, Kota Ibushi, and Kazuchika Okada all ended the night with 10 points.
Each man had a rough road to this four-way traffic jam. White didn’t even change into his ring gear for his match against Bullet Club stablemate Yujiro Takahashi, and nearly ended up losing the match in his track pants. Ibushi had to go strike for strike and stretch for stretch with Minoru Suzuki, in a match that gave the Japanese announce team flashbacks to the days of the UWFi. Okada and Ospreay both had to fight against unfamiliar opponents in bouts that can be considered some of their best of the tournament.
