NJPW G1 Climax Day Five Review

Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Toru Yano

Result: Toru Yano defeats Hiroyoshi Tenzan via pinfall.

Rating: 2.2 out of 5 stars

Yano sprayed his water bottle on Tenzan and nearly got a quick pin. He continued trying to play mind games until Tenzan got infuriated. He hit Yano with a chair but got his arm taped around the barricade. Tenzan barely got back in the ring before the count out.

Yano then tried choking Tenzan with a wire and nearly got a pin.

Tenzan finally worked back with a take down and hit slaps to the side of Yano’s head. He connected with a suplex for a near-fall.

After an elbow from Tenzan, Yano’s head got busted open. After a brief brawl, Yano pulled down Tenzan for a surprise pin.

Rob’s Note: This isn’t something to go out of your way to watch, either. Not much wrestling involved with this. It turned into a brawl from the start and ended properly for a brawl. Hopefully we get some better wrestling matches coming up because these haven’t set the world on fire, yet.
