NJPW G1 Climax 25: Day 5 (7/26/2015)- Hiroshima, Japan
HIROOKI GOTO, TIGER MASK IV, JUSHIN â€"THUNDER†LIGER, & YOHEI KOMATSU vs. MASCARA DORADA, TOMOAKI HONMA, RYUSUKE TAGUCHI, & DAVID FINLAY JR.- 4.75/10
Standard fare with this group. Everyone has their thing and does it competently.
CAPTAIN NEW JAPAN & YUJI NAGATA vs. BULLET CLUB (Cody Hall & Yujiro Takahashi)- 4.75/10
CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI) vs. BULLET CLUB (Karl Anderson & Tama Tonga)- 5.75/10
MICHAEL ELGIN & SATOSHI KOJIMA vs. CHAOS (Kazuchika Oakda & Gedo)- 6/10
Fun.
G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Bad Luck Fale vs. Doc Gallows- 4/10
Why are the Bullet Club guys hitting each other with weapons? And why aren’t there any DQs for these weapon shots?
G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Toru Yano- 3.25/10
More weapon shots with no DQs. There was a surprising amount of blood here, especially considering that the blood didn’t come from the weapon shots.
G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Togi Makabe vs. Katsuyori Shibata- 6/10
I was very impressed with Shibata’s ability to fight like a hoss even though he’s so lean and lanky.
G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Kota Ibushi vs. AJ Styles (w/Cody Hall)- 8.25/10
Not as awesome as last time, but that would have been hard to top.
G1 CLIMAX 25 BLOCK A MATCH: Hiroshi Tanahashi VS. Tetsuya Naito- 8.25/10
Another awesome match that just beats the semi-main out for match of the night.
A two-match show. Everything else is shippable, but if you’re excited to see some great G1 action, the top two matches on this show have it.
