NJPW G1 Climax 2019 Night 9 (July 27) - A BLOCK: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Will Ospreay Vs. Bad Luck Fale

Still very likely to be considered the Wrestler Of The Year by Dave Meltzer and countless other esteemed voices of wrestling, Will Ospreay somehow found himself in the worst match of the entire G1 Climax thanks to the wrong type of bullsh*t being dished out in his token rest night with Bad Luck Fale.

Everybody understands the Fale formula, but it shouldn't get in the way of the quality to this extent. Against Kazuchika Okada, the tension was ramped up as 'The Rainmaker' fought back against the nuisance Bullet Club run-ins. Here, Ospreay was ground down by the sh*thousery until referee Red Shoes worked his own Shane McMahon gimmick in order to facilitate a finish.

A Chase Owens package piledriver had the 'Aerial Assassin' down for the count following some groan-inducing interference from Fale's friends, long after the original official had lost total control. How it was thrown out in this manner was more maddening - NJPW's loose control of the rules gave them an easy out, but this was an extremely hard watch.
