Can someone make an looping GIF of Will Ospreay getting superkicked off the apron by The Young Bucks only to be picked right back up by Cody and Kenny Omega?
It’s from Honor Rising Night 2.

“Good wrestlers will get along better with good wrestlers.” Kenny Omega discusses wrestling chemistry over dinner with the Young Bucks.
REACH FOR THE SKY, BOI!
Fatal-Four Way IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championship Match: reDRagon (c) vs. The Young Bucks vs. Roppongi Vice vs. Matt Sydal and Ricochet:
I would've preferred it if it was reDRagon defending against Ricochet & Sydal and had Bucks/Vice be a #1 Contenders Match, but alas it's going to be 10 minutes of Flippy Shit and it's going to be a blast to watch.
Six-Man Tag Team Match: Toru Yano and two mystery partners vs. Bullet Club (Tama Tonga, Bad Luck Fale, and Yujiro Takahashi):
Not much of a story here. Takahashi and Yano have the heat, but it should be harmless. I'm expecting TenKoji to be YTR's partners, but I would be fully pleased if it were some NOAH guys.
ROH World Championship Match (Should Jay Lethal defeat AJ Styles at Final Battle): Jay Lethal (c) vs. Michael Elgin:
This has been brewing for months, even before Elgin got insanely over in Japan and winning Survival of the Fittest recently. A highly motivated/over Elgin+an always great Jay Lethal should make for a hell of a match in the Dome. Also, I'm penciling in Lethal to walk into the Dome as Champ because AJ has an even bigger on this night.
IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship Match: Kenny Omega (c) vs. KUSHIDA
Their past two matches have been fantastic and this should be no different. I especially expect this one to tear the house down given that it's in the Dome.
IWGP Tag Team Championship Match: Bullet Club (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) vs. Great Bash Heel (Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma):
Should be a hard hitting encounter with plenty of hot spots and shenanigans. If/when GBH gets the pin, I'm fully expecting Honma to be the one to do it. And the crowd is going to ERUPT.
Hirooki Goto vs. Tetsuya Naito: This match does make sense as NJPW's version of Los Ingobernables have been a thorn to Meiyu Tag's side for much of the fall. Nice to see Naito and Goto in a Grudge Match that actually has some build behind it.
NEVER Openweight Championship Match: Tomohiro Ishii (c) vs. Katsuyori Shibata
This should be renamed: ACTUAL MURDER: THE MATCH because that is exactly what this match is going to be.
IWGP Intercontinental Championship Match: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. AJ Styles
This is going to be a CLASSIC. This is a first time ever meeting on a stage this big and a position this high on the card. This COULD be the main event on any other show if not for....
IWGP Heavyweight Championship: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi This is IT. This I believe will be the blowoff to their nearly 4 year long feud. They have been far more aggressive whenever they have touched these last few months than they have in their entire feud and with good reason. The story is so clear: Okada is going in as the Champion, but he still isn't at the top of the mountain. He still isn't "The Ace" until he's beaten Tanahashi. I don't see this ending any other way but with Okada's hand raised in victory. This will be another classic between them.
TL;DR Stop watching WWE, watch this instead, and you'll feel better about yourself as a wrestling fan.
Night 13 of the G1 was really just a one, maybe two match show. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Katsuyori Shibata was another incredible entry into their series of matches and an instant where the shock pin worked. Must-see match for sure. Another match that is not really “must-see”, it was really good and that was AJ Styles vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan. Everything else was fun, but skippable.
The G1 Climax begins tonight! The hype is real!
Kazuchika Okada attacks AJ Styles, following AJ’s IWGP Heavyweight Title defense at NJPW Invasion Attack.
After losing to him in several tag matches and a singles encounter in the New Japan Cup tournament, Kazuchika Okada extracts his vengeance, as he defeats Bad Luck Fale at NJPW Invasion Attack.
RPG Vice (Beretta & Rocky Romero) defeat The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) to win the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Titles at NJPW Invasion Attack.
Omega vs. Dorada is next.This should be a blast to watch.
Ibushi and Styles have the potential to give us the next Invasion Attack classic. I cannot wait!
