Day 14 of the G1 Climax (short, need to catch up)

Tomohiro Ishii vs. Toru Yano
Felt like a better version of their 2018 meeting. Ishii pushes & forces Yano into showing what he really got under all of those comedy tricks, and it results in super fun action. Ishii's selling is otherworldly & Yano busting out them takedowns and lariats is a treat. A G1 gem. ***3/4

Juice Robinson vs. Taichi
***

Hirooki Goto vs. Jeff Cobb
***1/2

Jay White vs. Jon Moxley
This ruled. Mox was really awesome with his whole chaotic brawling mixed with viciously focused technique -style, and White continues to deliver brilliant heel performances. Very exciting, quality stuff. ***3/4

Shingo Takagi vs. Tetsuya Naito
Two stablemates brutalizing one another for nearly 30-minutes. Doesn't drag at all, and the whole story between Shingo & Naito made sure that everything felt even more compelling than it would've been had it just been a "random" meeting without any of that said history. ***3/4
