You absolutely need to see this show! Or at least the final two matches… It’s back to Korakuen Hall today for the fourth round of this year’s G1 Climax – with block B action featuring Michael Elgin vs. Tetsuya Naito and an enticing encounter with Katsuyori Shibata and NOAH’s Katsuhiko Nakajima.
With the promise of Kazuchika Okada vs. SANADA, New Japan’s gotten a lot of people out of bed early on Saturday morning (or in the States, kept them up very late on Friday night!), so let’s get to it! Day two in the first four-day stretch of the G1 Climax continues now…

Live from Hokkaido, the 26th G1 Climax is underway!
