If you’re a fan of New Japan Pro Wrestling, this time of year is sort of your Wrestling Christmas. G1 participants have been announced, match-ups are also coming out, and it’s become apparent that NJPW is really going all out this year. With names like Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay and KENTA involved in the top tournament this year, it’s already created some dream combinations for many.
What if we took that a step further?
I went ahead and created my dream G1 Climax field, choosing from any and every active wrestler working today. Any promotion, it doesn’t matter, just the best of the best, true Mortal Kombat style. No part-timers, if you can’t wrestle nine matches a year, you can’t do it in a G1 either. Also, while it includes all promotions, I still imagine that the tournament is being held under the NJPW banner, therefore, an NJPW style and flavor will be expected. There are a couple surprises, both with whose in, and whose out, and I’m sure that will drum up some discussion.
But, why stop there?
Because I’m a glutton for punishment, not only did I choose the field, I also went ahead and booked out the ENTIRE tournament. So check out my field now, and keep an eye out for exactly how I see this fantasy G1 playing out in the days to come!
