NEW JAPAN G1 CLIMAX 30 B BLOCK RESULTS FOR OCTOBER 1

Opening Match:

1. Yota Tsuji vs. Gabriel Kidd

Both men fought to a time limit draw.  Interesting result.   A draw does not happen often.  

B Block Tournament Matches:

2. Juice Robinson vs. Toru Yano

Yano sprays the hand sanitizer in the eyes of Juice from his spray bottle which he carries to the ring.  Yano rolls him up for a two count.  Juice blindly walks around ringside.  Juice finds a bottle of water to wash his eyes out.  Yano slides out of the ring and is met with a bottle of water in the head.  Juice takes Yano's spray bottle and empties the contents into Yano's face.   Yano rolls back in the ring and is writhing on the mat trying to clean his eyes.  Juice throws Yano in a corner and nails him with punches and kicks.  Yano tries to unbuckle the pad in the corner but Juice stops him and re-ties the pad on the corner.  Yano runs to the opposite corner and removes the turnbuckle pad.  He tries to hit Juice but Juice takes the pad away.   Yano leaves the ring and heads up the entry way.  Juice, at first, refuses to follow.  Juice gets mad and follows Yano.  Yano hits a reverse atomic drop and pulls out tape and starts binding Juice's ankles together.  Yano walks back to the ring, expecting a count out win.  Juice hops his way back to the ring before the count out.   Juice is literally hopping mad and chases Yano.  Yano runs in a circle around the ring but Juice cannot catch him.  Yano kicks him in the stomach.  Juice ducks a punch and hits a full nelson slam on Yano.  Juice frees himself from the tape.  Juice tries to attack Yano but Yano grabs the referee.   Juice hits the Left Hand of God.  He goes for Pulp Friction.  Yano escapes and drops down attempting a school boy pin.  Juice drops to his knees, grabs Yano's feet, and pins him for the win.

Fun match.  This victory brings Juice to a tie for the lead of B Block with Tetsuya Naito and Toru Yano with 6 points each.  The placement of this match on the card was perfect.  

3.  Hirooki Goto vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

Goto still has the taped shoulder.  ZSJ went after it immediately locking in a shoulder submission.  Goto was screaming and got to the ropes.  The referee tried to separate the two but ZSJ attacked Goto with kick strikes to the shoulder and upper body.  The referee got shoved by ZSJ across the ring, which caused gasps by the announcers and the crowd.  The referee recovered and separated both men.  Goto, favoring his ring shoulder, fought back with left hand chops.   But ZSJ locked in a octopus lock stretching Goto's shoulder.   The pace begins to pick up.  Goto hits a lariat and a ushigoroshi.  Goto nails a kick to the chest.  He sets up ZSJ for a GTR.  ZSJ drops down and rolls up Goto in a European Clutch.  Zack Sabre Jr. gets the pin and two points.

Short match but fine for what it was.  Goto may be really hurt, which explains the shorter length of the match.

4. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. YOSHI-HASHI

Both men trade armlocks at the outset of the match.  They are careful not to make a mistake.  YOSHI-HASHI gets the advantage by blocking a Tanahashi kick and hitting a leg whip.   He attacks Tanahashi's leg with submissions.  Tanahashi fought back and hit a leg whip on YOSHI-HASHI.  Tanahashi with a senton from the second rope.  Pace of the match starts to pick up.  Tanahashi avoids a standing neckbreaker, but YOSHI-HASHI connects with a spin kick, a super kick, then a sit down powerbomb.  YOSHI-HASHI gets a two count.  Tanahashi hits a Geman suplex.  Both wrestlers start brawling.  YOSHI-HASHI hits a lariat and applies the Butterfly Lock.   Crowd cheers Tanahashi to get to the ropes.   YOSHI-HASHI adds a Hammerlock to the Butterfly Lock.  Tanahashi screams and pulls himself closer to the ropes.  He almost reached the ropes, until YOSHI-YASHI transitioned into a sleeper, then hit a backcracker.  YOSHI-HASHI went for Karma, but Tanahashi reversed it into Twist and Shout.  Tanahashi hit two leg whips, then went for the Texas Cloverleaf.  YOSHI-HASHI rolled him into a small package for a two count.   YOSHI-HASHI tried to apply the Butterfly Lock again, but fought it off.  Tanahashi with a roll up for a two count.  Another leg whip on YOSHI-HASHI.  YOSHI-HASHI with a Half Nelson Suplex and a double knee strike to the face for a two count.   YOSHI-HASHI hit a Bunker Buster for a CLOSE two count.  YOSHI-HASHI goes for Karma but Tanahashi gets free.  Tanahashi hits a Slingblade.  Tanahashi hits a High Fly Flow on a standing YOSHI-HASHI.    Tanahashi hits a second High Fly Flow for a pinfall win.

Great match.  Both men looked great in this hard battle.  Tanahashi had positive words with YOSHI-HASHI after the match.
