Every NJPW G1 Climax 28 Entrant Ranked From Least To Most Likely To Win

12. Tomohiro Ishii

The G1 Climax is the point on the annual wrestling calendar that thousands of fans across the globe suddenly remember that Tomohiro Ishii is one of the best in the world.

CHAOS' squat slugger is rarely booked in singles matches outside the G1, typically working tag bouts with comedy merchant Toru Yano instead. A shame, as no other wrestler does as good a job as conveying hurt and pulling viewers into his struggle as the 'Stone Pitbull,' but he isn't a pushed commodity.

Ishii will again finish as a leading 'Wrestler Of The Tournament' candidate, but that's it. He isn't winning the G1.
