A Block part 1 | A Block part 2 | B Block Part 1 | B Block Part 2

We're on the home stretch now with part 3, featuring the B Block (the B is for 'British', apparently). Check out parts 1 and 2 if you missed them! Edit: part 4 is now also out!

I was so gutted to hear about Gabe's injury, but I suppose an advantage of being so late with this guide is that I won't get anyone's hopes up unduly... Gabe was one of my most anticipated wrestlers of B Block and this had been such a great year for him so far, so it's rotten timing. Get well soon ya mad lad!

Also, until sitting down to write this I hadn't quite appreciated that all of the notable omissions from this year's tournament were former CHAOS members! No Ishii and no Yano for the second year in a row is just unconscionable! #Justice4Yano

A Block part 1 | A Block part 2 | B Block Part 1 | B Block Part 2

Fashionably late, here's part 1 of my traditional annual powerpoint guide to NJPW's Festival of Big Meaty Men!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, like having a job now, I wasn't able to get it out before the G1 started, but better late than never I guess! And it's still early days, so there's still plenty of time to start watching!

It's even more 'no thoughts, just vibes' than usual this year, so if you spot any factual inaccuracies, my excuse is that I'm making my own kayfabe.
