Who I Picked :

Who won :

Shota Umino 1-2-1 = 2

Gabe Kidd 2-0-2 = 4

Taichi 2-0-2 =4

(First time meeting!! Imagine being the owner of defy and hearing your promotion name drop and your world title in the middle of the G1!! Must be rad!! 

Ridiculous belt off wasting time. We were one minute a.m. when everybody was already laying around. Fun stuff)

Uncle Dave stars: ***3/4

Who I Picked : Yota Tsuji 

Who won : Yota Tsuji 

Yota Tsuji 1-1-2 =3

Chase Owens 2-0-1= 4

(Chase Owens  just looks better and the deeper and deeper this tournament go’s! Yo ta is going to be a big big star! Of all the graduated young lions I can see him having a great run stateside. This match told the story of the crafty veteran being multiple steps ahead of his younger appointment, but not being able to him down. I have no idea how the points of this block are going to look at the end! )

Uncle Dave stars: ***3/4

Who I Picked : El Phantasmo

Who won : El Phantasmo

El Phantasmo 1-0-3 = 2 

Tanga Loa 2-0-2 = 4

( I think new Japan needs a smart ass, American baby face, and I think El phantasmo is that guy. I don’t know why I’ve become such a sucker for the baby face Gorillaz of destiny, but I definitely have. I had low expectations and  it definitely over preformed!)

A Block Ren Narita X vs. Hikuleo

Uncle Dave stars: **3/4

Who I Picked : Ren Narita

Who won : Hikuleo

Hikuleo 1-0-3

Ren Narita 0-3-1

(I really like these big man little man match his butt the big guy seldom capitalizes on his big man stature! you did a little better here, but not enough to tell the story of power versus technique. But not a bad match at all)

Who I Picked : YOSHI-HASHI

Who won : Kazuchika Okada

Kazuchika Okada 0-0-4

(me and the historic Herkenhoff was really pulling for Yoshi. It was a fun match and if I’m being honest they had me tricked by the momentum and near falls.) hey

Who I Picked : Kaito Kiyomiya

Who won : SANADA

SANADA 0-0-4 = 8
