11 HUGE NJPW/ROH G1 Supercard Predictions You Need To Know

11. The Honor Rumble

The G1 Supercard's Honor Rumble is, ostensibly, a big bad banter match.

This pre-show "Rumble rules battle royal" will see 30 men attempt to throw each other over the top rope with nought but pride and glory on the line. The winner isn't guaranteed any kind of ROH or NJPW title opportunity, and there's every chance that it could end up as inconsequential as WWE's Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royals, regardless of who walks away with the victory.

Only six wrestlers have been announced at the time of writing. Jushin Thunder Liger was named during the post-New Japan Cup press conference on 25 March, with ROH's Cheeseburger, Brian Milonas, Beer City Bruiser, PJ Black, and Kenny King following him three days later. One would fancy unbooked NJPW mainstays like Minoru Suzuki to hop in as well, but who knows? It's a lottery.

The safest option, as things stand, is Liger. This is effectively part of his farewell tour, with the puroresu legend confirming he'll retire following next January's Tokyo Dome shows. Let's say his employers give him a crowd-popping victory before an audience that may never see him live again.

Winner: Jushin Thunder Liger.
