Now that the blocks are done, Naito has some more comments for how the tournament ended up in this format:
>I still think we should narrow it down a bit. G1 is a major event in the world of professional wrestling. But now the bar has been lowered so low. I don't think it's G1 if anyone can participate
>I think it would be more noteworthy if we did it in a shorter period of time. It has been too long, and no one remembers the first half. I think we should rethink the duration and the number of people involved.
>When I was watching the matches, it was tough when all the matches were single matches. I think it made the matches faster and easier to watch. However, I think "pauses" are very important in wrestling. I think that point has been ruined.
>If there are eight matches in one night and they are all official fights, then 20 minutes may be a good idea. However, considering the history, tradition, and weight of G1, I think it would be better to reduce the number of single matches per tournament and have a single 30-minute match as before.
