It is still early in the G1 Climax, but you can see the elevation of certain talent. With the absence of veterans like Hiroshi Tanahashi and Tomohiro Ishii, several young talent has stepped up their game. Shota Umino is being called the new Ace on commentary. Gabe Kidd looks like a tough bad ass. Boltin Oleg is a prodigy. Yota Tsuji won the New Japan Cup in early 2024. Yuya Uemura leads the B Block now. HENARE is the NEVER Openweight Champion. Ren Narita just defeated the Television Champion, without House of Torture assistance. ]
The records will begin to balance out now and the drama will build in each Block as we get to mid August.
