10/6 NEW JAPAN G1 CLIMAX 30 B BLOCK RESULTS

Opening Match:

1.  Yota Tsuji vs. Yuya Uemura

Wrestlers battled to a draw.    I think some tournament matches will be going short.

B Block Tournament Matches:

2.  Hirooki Goto vs. Toru Yano.

Goto hit Yano to the back of his head.  Goto tied up Yano's legs and Goto rolled him up for a pin and two points.  Yano was complaining to the referee but to no avail. 

3.  SANADA vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

Match started fast and became a wrestling clinic.  Too much to cover here.  SANADA locked in Skull End.   He lifted ZSJ up and over in a reverse suplex.  With ZSJ's legs on the ropes, SANADA hit a TKO.   SANADA then hit a moonsault for a pin!   

Great match!  

They announced 2020 World Tag League and 2020 Super Junior 27 both starting November 15 and ending on December 11.  Looks like they will be running them simultaneously.

4.   Juice Robinson vs. EVIL, with Dick Togo

EVIL attacks Juice at the bell.  Togo distracts Juice and pulls him to the outside.   They double team Juice and destroy his back with a suplex onto a stack of chairs.  Juice tried to fight back with a leg lariat and spinebuster.  Juice layed out Togo who kept interfering.  Juice hit a cannonball onto EVIL in the corner.   Juice hit a body press from the top rope for a two count.  EVIL hit a lariat and a stomp off the ropes.  EVIL missed a Senton, but Juice hit a Senton of his own.  Juice hits a Superplex, holds on then hits a Jack Hammer.  Impressive!  Two count only.   Togo hits Juice with a chair.  EVIL follows up with a lariat.  EVIL hits Darkness Falls.   Two count.  EVIL goes for Everything is Evil.  Juice reverses and tries for Pulp Friction.  EVIL reverses out and Juice hits a lariat.  Juice throws EVIL into Togo.  Juice hits EVIL with The Juice Box.  Two count.  Juice blocks a low blow and EVIL pushes him into the corner.  Juice hits him with an elbow.  Juice connects with a right fist.  Togo jumps on the apron.  Juice throws a Left Hand of God but EVIL ducks and connects with a low blow.  Evil finally hits Everything is Evil and gets a pin.

Good match.  Juice Robinson has been looking really good in this G1 Climax Tournament despite this loss.  He is showing he can compete with the best in New Japan.  His NXT days are definitely behind him.
