The sizzling summer of 2023 gets even hotter as New Japan Pro-Wrestling presents its annual G1 Climax for the 33rd time. 32 wrestlers split into 8 across 4 blocks will battle for the next 3 weeks round-robin style. The top 2 from each block will then move on to the elimination stage on 8/10 in Chiba: A1 vs C2, B1 vs D2, C1 vs B2, D1 vs A2. The 4 winners of those matches will move on to Ryogoku on 8/12 & 8/13 for the semifinal and Final respectively.
