NJPW CASTLE ATTACK 2021
Jay White vs. Tomohiro Ishii
In theory, a match focused on Jay White attacking Tomohiro Ishii's mid-section with vicious focus sounds like something that I'd really like, especially given the fact that I thought their previous two G1 outings were some pretty great stuff, but to put it bluntly, this was just long. Some neat moments revolving around that said work on the ribs yes, but for the most part, the match was just straight up forgettable, dull & boring as hell. I could just say that them going 25+ minutes isn't ideal (it isn't), but to be fair to them, looking back at those great G1 matches of theirs, they weren't that much shorter than this one; just had a completely different, better energy & spirit to 'em. **

Great-O-Khan vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
This was less fun than their Tokyo Dome match, but it was still a real solid one. O-Khan continues his good showings with his very good, pretty impressive & consistent selling of Tana's usual legwork here. **3/4
