NJPW G1 Climax 2018, Week 2: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

20. SANADA Vs. Tama Tonga (19 July)

Rating: **

The closest Tama Tonga's thus far come to having a singles clash that justifies his current push, the Block B battle failed to live up to sleeper hit potential but did at least supply a satisfying finish for fans of hard-working winner SANADA.

The LIJ star was out-numbered and out-gunned by Tonga and his Bullet Club brethren for much of the match, but his ability to outshine them as an outsider to the 'BC OG's tension with Kenny Omega et al provided pleasing relief from the endless stream of deeply disappointing disqualifications.
