G1 Climax 27 Night 2

• Chase Owens and Bad Luck Fale defeated Finlay and Tanahashi

G1 Matches

• Juice Robinson (2pts) defeated Satoshi Kojima (0pts)

  • Robinson picked up a win in his first ever G1 match.
  • He kicked out of a strong lariat and hit Pulp Friction for the win

• Tama Tonga (2pts) defeated Michael Elgin (0pts)

  • Commentary played up how Tonga is the most elusive wrestler in the game, and has a very unique style.
  • Tonga countered a move from the 2nd rope into a Stun Gun and got the pin.

• Sanada (2pts) defeated EVIL (0pts)

  • A battle between members of Los Ingobernables!
  • Finish of the match saw Evil repeatedly get out of the Skull End, but Sanada then hit a moonsault for the pin.

• Kazuchika Okada (2pts) defeated Toru Yano (0pts)

  • A lot of your normal Yano shenanigans and comedy.
  • After both of them nearly getting counted out, Okada locked in the Red Ink and got the tap.

• Kenny Omega (2pts) defeated Minoru Suzuki (0pts)

  • Omega went to do a moonsault from the guardrail early, but Suzuki kicked it out from underneath him. His leg landed on the guardrail and Suzuki would focus on it for much of the match.
  • There was a ref bump mid-way through the match when Suzuki pulled Red Shoes in front of him as Omega was going for a V-Trrigger knee.
  • This brought out Suzuki-Gun, which would eventually bring out Chase Owens and Bad Luck Fale.
  • At one point Omega hit everyone on Los Ingobernables with a top rope senton into the first couple of rows of seats.
  • The two factions cancelled each other out (possibly building towards a match at the next ROH PPV) and it was down to 1-on-1.
  • Suzuki focussed again on the leg but Omega made a comeback.
  • He hit quite a few V-Triggers, and there was also a fairly botched reverse hurricanrana attempt as well.
  • Then Omega hoisted him up and hit the 1-Winged Angel for the win.

The G1 kicked off early yesterday morning in Sapporo Japan.

The first night of the tournament was highlighted by Kota Ibushi’s return, as he faced the 2013 G1 winner, Tetsuya Naito.
