NJPW G1 Climax 2018, Week 4: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

20. Hirooki Goto Vs. Tama Tonga (4 August)

Rating: DUD

Tama Tonga, the most cringe-worthy wrestler in the world, hit rock bottom in an awful match epitomising everything wrong with the ongoing Firing Squad angle. Interference, a referee bump, a terrible Tanga Loa pre-match promo: mark all three off on your bingo cards.

These bouts would be fine if the action leading up to the shenanigans was delivering. It isn't, though. Instead, Tonga is continually exposing himself as a bland, unengaging worker before the inevitable. His character is toe-curlingly bad, particularly when he opens his mouth, and while his Gun Stun finisher always looks good, it's the only part of his arsenal that does.

'The Bad Boy' is, in the words of Jim Cornette, "a preliminary f*cking wrestler," and he has been badly exposed in this G1.
