Awesome match!  YOSHI-HASHI had an injured shoulder but it did not hinder his attacks.  Ospreay had to fight hard to earn this victory.  

After the match, Ospreay taunted David Finlay with the US belt.  They had words and said they will settle their issues after the G1.

B Block:  Taichi, with Miho Abe, vs. Jay White

White pins Taichi, needing two Bladerunners to get it done.

Jay White remains the only undefeated wrestler in the B Block and in the G1.  He will face Tama Tonga on Tuesday in his final G1 match.

Good match.   Some shenanigans from Gedo and Miho Abe.   But both men looked good.  Taichi looked strong even in defeat.   

After the match, White said he was not sick with heat stroke during the few events.   He just did not want to wrestle in matches that don’t mean anything.   He wanted to save his energy for those matches that mean something like his match with Taichi and the upcoming Tama Tonga.

*mathematically eliminated 

For A, B and C Blocks, the leaders are almost determined.    D Block will come down to the wire.  There are too many scenarios to review here.  Yujiro Takahashi is done with his matches so he will have to wait on the results.  Kevin Kelly said there is a possibility that there could be a 5-6 way tie for the lead. That would be a mess to sort through and it will be determined by tie breakers, not wrestling additional matches.
