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

20. Toru Yano

Whatever your thoughts on the DVD-shilling comedy act, Toru Yano is in the company's good books, providing a rare silliness to NJPW's strong-style product. Believe it or not, YTR is going into his 11th G1 tournament. Sure enough he wasn't always the complete goof he is now - but that is good going for a comedy act.

Expect low-blows, exposed turnbuckles, and all nine of his matches to be less than five minutes a piece.

Comedy characters have their role, but that does not entail a victory in the hugely prestigious G1.
