10 G1 Climax 27 Matches That You Need To See
4. Michael Elgin Vs. Kenny Omega (27/7/2017)
If you’re counting, Elgin vs. Omega is the third high profile feud Omega has been a part of this year after Ishii and Okada. It’s also the third to produce match of the year quality wrestling. However, he did wrestle that child once so let’s all talk about that instead…
It would be missing a lot to put all of this down to Kenny, though. Big Mike is an elite worker and he showed that throughout the G1. His ability to pluck people out of the air is extraordinary and an opponent like Omega allows him to show that off. Throw in a Burning Hammer to finish things and we're being spoiled.
With Omega having picked up a win at the G1 US Special and Elgin having evened things up here it seems likely that we will get this one again, perhaps with the US title on the line. If you are upset about that, then it’s probably fair to say that you aren’t thinking straight.
