Is it me or did New Japan pull a page out of the NCAA playbook (Makabe/Nagai entrance match)?
Shibata beating Chono, that is a surprise. A huge surprise.

Wolf defeated Shibata...there's an upset...I hope Takayama's alright...Anyone can win this...

[Pheonix_Chi25]

So do I, I hope whatever is wrong with Takayama he will be ok. But man, this is unbelieveable. This G-1 is starting to look better and better as days go by.

[Haiku Warrior]

Hey guys! Back from the beach, I missed Hurricane Alex by this much :uses fish expression:

At first I thought Nagata was going to win. But now I couldn't care who the final is going to be I'm just anxious to see who the final will be...

I agree with Edgehead: anyone could win this at this point. This is why NJ is the best in Japan right now.

I hope Takayama will be alright.

[edgehead1984]

Well Takayama's out of the G1, he has a blood clot in his brain...

no surpises for me...I was kinda hoping that Nakamura would win...

[Luds]

I was expecting Tenryu to come on top, as he only had 2 points. ANd Nagata to defeat Shibata to keep their rivalry feuled up!

I like the books again this year!

[Haiku Warrior]

I like Nagata going over Shibata too.

Tenzen & Sasaki drawing makes things interesting if the best in the Semis.

I feel bad for Takayama. I hope the guy returns soon.

[edgehead1984]

I would of thought that Shibata would beat Suzuki...

[Luds]

I expected Suzuki to beat him, but not that fast. Shibata is still looking good as he defeated Chono & Nakamura. But he's behind Tanahashi in the youth movement, so I'm not shocked that he's 2-3.
