Takeshita looking very emotional at that win!

I remember first seeing him on AEW Dark and being all in straight away. So much my partner got me a signed Takeshita pic years ago.

To see him win #G1Climax35 is incredible.

What a match!!

(I am sure there will be some twisty takes and folk will be determined not give that final its flowers)

One of the best of the #G1Climax35!!

Jeez-o! What has SHO been up to? Lean as!

Y'know, not to be objectifying him or anything.

Also, I have missed SHO calling everyone bumpkins.

Oskar and Yuto are back!!! #G1Climax35

I don't get the Yuya thing. He is okay, but I don't think he is better than Oiwa, Shota, Yota, Gabe, plus more. He is a fine wrestler. But the internet consensus doesn't scan for me.

But even if it did, should've had #G1Climax win? A given that he'll main even the Dome? Seems pretty fast for NJPW.

I don't doubt NJPW for its long-form storytelling. Other companies could rarely do what they achieve. Especially compared to American wrestling.

So I can sit in the discomfort & be patient. I might not personally like who is on top. But the pay off when someone comes in who I do like will be sweet!

Just saying this to ensure that we don't allow all English-speaking NJPW fans to be painted as a homogeneous Western Reddit bubble...

Whilst I am not a lover of House of Torture, I have not had enough, will not be boycotting the product or slamming Gedo if the #G1Climax35 goes a particular way.

I have loved this #G1Climax35. I am a huge Takeshita fan. He has had some of my favourite matches this tournament. But I didn't want him to make it to the final.

But I think that is mainly because I am still hurt by the Moxley IWGP belt run last year. Hope Takeshita sticks in NJPW longer.

Can anyone explain if it is an American thing that "mental" is being used as a noun?

"Tsuji has the mental."

The mental what? Mental strength? Mental fortitude? Mental capacity?

From what I am hearing of what is happening on New Japan Reddit, I would probably get mauled for enjoying this #G1Climax35.

But more so for not buying the Yuya hype. He is a decent enough wrestler. Hate his promos. And I don't think, as some do, he should be shot to the moon yet. Too soon.
August 10, 2025 at 3:45 PM
Thank fuck! The level of jeopardy I felt there. I felt nauseous.

Finlay (and Taichi) have made Block A for me this #G1Climax35. Bloody over the moon he beat Yuya and has made it out of the blocks!

I am still thinking about how much I enjoyed their #G1Climax35 match.
If El Phantasmo and Konosuke Takeshita had a lifelong feud I would be forever happy.

I could watch them wrestle everyday.

I stopped being online for a bit. But here to say, this #G1Climax35 has been absolutely phenomenal.

Takeshita, ELP, Zack, Shingo, Finlay and especially Taichi just lighting up my life.

Pretty happy with Callum and Boltin too who are looking so confident and strong this year! 💪🏻

Crowd are eating this up! And rightly so!

I fucking love Goto. But I don't care what people say, Callum Newman is great.

I want Goto to retain, but I am chuffed he is getting this opportunity and I wholeheartedly feel he deserves it.

Naito isn't even out yet and I have shed a tear.

The minute the crowd start chanting his name I will be gone. 😭

Last night I dreamed that I was telling Zack Sabre Jr that Mark Brisco was reading my copy of International Booker nominated Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico and was getting through it quicker than me whilst pausing to saw through a glass door.

I got my tickets for AEW Forbidden Door in August. It took a while to decide to go (very tempted with Glasgow), but it was Forbidden Door that got me into New Japan wrestling which is now my beloved promotion and might not get the opportunity again.

Very excited now I have tickets and hotel booked!

Just finished watching Dynasty and after a strong start to the year for AEW. For me the build for this PPV was not great. Some of the matches were really great, but ended trying to remind myself why I persevere with AEW.

Might be judging unfairly against my beloved NJPW and awesome Sakura Genesis.

I am about to go out on strike next week in face of opportunistic redundancies being threatened by my employer. Lots of organising happened this week and have some union tasks I need to attend to later.

But for now... FANTASTICA MANIA!!! 🎉
March 2, 2025 at 7:52 AM
Patiently anticipating Fantastica Mania though. Shame NJPW isn't televising more of them. But I will take whatever I can get.

Gotta say the last month of AEW has been awesome. Everything in the run up to Grand Slam in Australia was brilliant and the show was great!

I hope they do it again and maybe even make it a PPV event Australia. The crowd were awesome and as a viewer it was so fun to see people enjoying it so much.
