Why does no one care about the G1 anymore?

new jaCHADS stay in their threads to discuss their promotion instead of shitting up the entire board with console thread spam

He only won one, the problem was him making the final 4 straight times

Oh shit I forgot about 2020 he did win twice, my bad. Making the final 4 straight times is worse, though

The only draw that New Japan has left is Okada. Everybody else is either washed, a foreign shitter, or too new.

This. NJPW is the best, so there's no need to brag.

Bros I haven't consistently watched NJPW since 2019, I knoe the covid era was shite so where should I pick it up from?
I watched this Year's WK and loved ot so after that?
I'd really like to spend August binging NJPW and getting back into it like I used to

January - June was great all around, Sakura Genesis especially. Start with New Beginning in Osaka and go from there, New Japan Cup undercard is optional

I like the 4 block format. I don't like it being 32 guys.
I did initially, as giving new guys a chance to shine where new fans will see is a great thing. There's a huge disconnect in star perception because so many Western fans don't watch anything besides major events. Master Wato has looked good for years; he pretty much figured it out in like six months, but everyone who only watches Wrestle Kingdom and the G1 treated him like a dweeb up until he won BOSJ this year and said "wow, when did Wato suddenly get so good?". You can't build new stars if there's the same 20 guys trading wins and losses every single year.
However, there's been so many shitty matches this year, I think you're going to have to cut down the field next year. Nobody is going to buy a ticket to see Mikey Nicholls or Tonga Loa. Still prioritize building new stars, but not like this. I would love to see 4 blocks of 6.

i preferred the G1 as a two-block tournament, with mostly just the best of the roster
the fact that the guys were wrestling 4-5 nights a week in both singles and tags made it seem more gruelling so I didn't want to miss any matches out of respect for the wrestlers who were all tired and banged up
now it's just so saturated with shitters and the quality matches are so infrequent that i mostly don't give a fuck

I don't mind the 4 block format either. I wouldn't say I like it, but it's definitely not
>omfg 4 blocks tournament is ruined now fuck gedo
that people doomposted about. It's not a huge deal

>I would love to see 4 blocks of 6.
The problem with 4 blocks is that it's reliant on having a large pool. 4 blocks of 6 means you get a G1 where each guy has 5 matches. Is that really something you want? That sounds awful
If they can get the tournament size back down to 24 in the future it should absolutely go back to the 2 blocks everyone is used to
