9 Things You Need To Know About The G1 Climax 25 Tournament
4. Highlights In Block B
Kazuchika Okada aka "The Rainmaker", 2-time G1 winner (2012, 2014), and current IWGP Hevyweight Champion. He just recently won the title from AJ Styles, so it will be interesting if they meet up again the finals. Since he's already the champion, if Okada happens to win this tournament, he would get to pick his opponent at Wrestle Kingdom.
Shinsuke Nakamura won G1 back in 2011, and is probably the favorite to win in this block as he is incredibly talented in the ring and crazy popular with fans. He's the guy who shaves part of his head, and loves to copy Michael Jackson. He was in a "match-of-the-year" contender with Ibushi, and has some killer -- or maybe, "Thriller"? -- entrances.
Michael Elgin, former Ring of Honor champion will give it his best shot, although not likely to win. There are two Bullet Club members in this block: leader of the group, Karl Anderson and Yujiro Takahashi.
