NJPW G1 Climax 2018, Week 3: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Kenny Omega Vs. Juice Robinson (26 July)

Rating: ****

The sporting handshake Kenny Omega offered Juice Robinson was the nicest the ‘Best Bout Machine’ would be to Robinson’s damaged paw.

Shaken by Juice’s early onslaught (itself a symptom of the confidence he’d gained since beating Omega LAST year), Kenny had no choice but to target the injured limb before over-powering and over-whelming the United States Champion. That he continues to put in shifts of such quality with an injured heel remains particularly impressive, particularly as he continued unblemished in his Block.
