Browsing: G1 Climax 30

Los Ingobernables de Japon (LIJ) Sanada was able to earn his spot after defeating his former Cold Darkness tag team partner, Evil. The duo won the 2017 & 2018 World Tag League tournament and also were two-time IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.

The opening tournament match of G1 Climax 30 Night 18 saw CHAOS member Yoshi-Hashi and the KOPW (presumably King of Pro Wrestling) titleholder Toru Yano battle for pride after both were long since eliminated from possibly winning the B Block.

While not having any effect on who could win the B Block of G1 Climax 30, the final day match between former two-time IWGP Intercontinental Champion, five-time NEVER Openweight Champion, and CHAOS member Hirooki Goto and former two-time IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Juice Robinson was important to determine the pecking order in possible future singles title matches.

While neither former eight-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion, G1 Climax 17 winner, G1 Climax 25 winner, and G1 Climax 28 winner Hiroshi Tanahashi and former four-time Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro) Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion and Suzuki-Gun member Zack Sabre Jr remained able to win the G1 Climax 30 B Block and advance to the finals, the match remained an important one for both.

The headline match for G1 Climax 30 Night 18 was an opportunity for IWGP Heavyweight and IWGP Intercontinental ‘Double Champion’ and Los Ingobernables de Japon (LIJ) leader Tetsuya Naito to keep his hopes of advancing to the finals alive.

The marquee match of the G1 Climax 30 Night 18 event saw the final block match of G1 Climax 30 and decided who would win B Block. The former Cold Darkness tag team were two-time IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions and winners of the 2017 & 2018 World Tag League tournament.

The first tournament match of G1 Climax 30 Night 17 saw former NEVER Openweight Champions face one another. Bullet Club member Yujiro looked for his first victory of the campaign against Jeff Cobb who has shown impressive form as of late.
