>>11156541League matches weren't all bad. Some were bad, some were really good. The bad ones were usually the ones involving shitters like Tanga Loa, Tama Tonga and Eddie the Poo. Tanga Loa especially had no business competing in the G1.
Everyone else pretty much had at least one or two good matches. A Block was dimes. B Block was unironically carried by YOSHI-HASHI although Ospreay, Taichi and Okada did good as well. C and D Block matches kinda sucked in comparison except for HENARE and Takagi in C block and ZSJ and Cobb in D Block.
The playoff matches were all great in their own way. NJPW provides so much high quality wrestling content that people are now spoiled by it. You won't find these types of matches in WWE and AEW.
