NJPW G1 Climax 2019 BLOCK FINALS & GRAND FINAL (Aug 10, 11 & 12): Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Juice Robinson Vs. Jon Moxley

A match that made a little too much fun out of some serious stakes and two supposedly serious competitors, Juice Robinson and Jon Moxley's second encounter couldn't quite live up to their spectacular opener nor did it massively service their eventual rubber match over the United States Title.

Juice Robinson's life and career took a turn the moment 'Mox' was revealed as the payoff to the mysterious Death Rider vignettes, with his increased intensity a welcome addition to this year's midcard. Consistently improving, he'll be elevated by this programme in the long run, but the middle chapter will surely be remembered as the weakest.

Moxley winning would have secured him near-certain victory in the tournament, but it was the pair's task to remove the obviousness of this not occuring. In this aim - arguably the most important - the match missed the mark, but the work was worthy nonetheless. A good brawl that never quite reached the level both have managed to find more often than not in the tournament, this lacked a certain spark that should have present considering the points permutations.
