NJPW G1 Climax 2022 B-Block Results: SANADA [4] Defeats Great-O-Khan [0] After Picture Perfect Moonsault (07/30)

Earlier this year at Wrestle Kingdom in Tokyo Dome, SANADA would prove he’s the better technical wrestler against Great-O-Khan. Tonight, they meet in the B-Block, with both men entering at two points. Great-O-Khan has yet to claim a win, with Chase Owens blinding him with powder and breaking him down – and tonight will be keen on finally proving he can beat SANADA at his own game.

Starting Off With Some Crisp Chain Wrestling

SANADA & Great-O-Khan would kick this one off with some chain wrestling, very reminiscent of their Wrestle Kingdom encounter. Great-O-Khan would end up on top, but wouldn’t even get a one count off the pinfall attempt. Chain wrestling would continue, with SANADA getting on top before being kicked off.

A lock up would see SANADA get forced to the ropes, before having his legs caught and this one went right back down the mat. SANADA would fight off the Kimura Lock, before a standing lockup led to the ropes again. Five minutes in, and so far Great-O-Khan was dominating on the mat – and he’d grab a heel hook in the middle of the ring.

SANADA broke free and would float over the ropes before a picture perfect springboard dropkick. Great-O-Khan was sent to the floor, before a vaulting body press would land. SANADA would work to hype the crowd up, before taking this one back to the ring.

SANADA Wins His Style Of Match

Great-O-Khan would look to apply the Iron Claw, but was unable to get SANADA up for the Eliminator – before taking a kick. SANADA would have his face slammed into the corner pad, but would fire back with a dropkick before being dropped with a massive lariat for a near fall. Great-O-Khan would hit some Mongolion Chops to SANADA, a move he is the rightful owner of in NJPW after defeating Hiroyoshi Tenzan.

He’d offer himself to some return strikes from SANADA, absorbing the blows before SANADA would offer the same. The knees would buckle after some vicious Mongolian Chops – and SANADA hit an unintended low blow – before a European Clutch for a two count. SANADA would follow up with the rolling elbow before the TKO planted Great-O-Khan, and set up the Muta Moonsault – but he’d land on the knees.

Skull End attempt would be blocked into the Sheep Killer, with SANADA getting free using the long braid of Great-O-Khan. He’d have his eyes raked before the Sheep Killer would be applied again, before using the ropes to move into Skull End. Going to the previously injured eye would get Great-O-Khan free, before a straight right hand to the jaw. Pop-up TKO would set up the moonsault, and SANADA would be able to get the victory!
