G1 Climax

Edit

The G1 (Grade One) Climax is a professional wrestling tournament held each August by the New Japan Pro Wrestling promotion. Created by NJPW founder Antonio Inoki as the World League and later being renamed four times and currently known as the G1 Climax, the tournament has been held annually since 1974, It is considered a successor to the World Big League held by Japan Pro Wrestling Alliance between 1959 and 1972, predating the All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) Champion Carnival tournament by a year.

The G1 draws standing room only crowds each night, record receipt gates and generates front-page coverage on the sports sections of several of the daily newspapers in Tokyo. Though it has sometimes been held as a single-elimination tournament, it is usually (and currently) held as a round-robin, with winners from two blocks wrestling in the final to decide that year's winner.

In its current format, the tournament lasts four weeks. The winner of each block is determined by a points system; two points for a victory, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss.

Tournament history[]

NJPW had an annual tournament since 1974 under various names: the World League (1974–1977, based on the World (Big) League tournament from the old Japanese Wrestling Association held between 1959 and 1972);[1][2][3][4][5] the MSG League (1978–1982);[6][7][8][9][10] the International Wrestling Grand Prix (IWGP) League (1983–1988; although the first winner, Hulk Hogan, was awarded a championship belt, this is not the beginning of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship).[5][11][12][13][14][15] Most of these tournaments were dominated by NJPW's founding top star Antonio Inoki. In 1989, there was a World Cup Tournament, which included wrestlers from the then-Soviet Union.[5][16] No tournament was held in 1990.

With Inoki's dominance over NJPW gone, the promotion established the G1 Climax tournament in 1991 as a platform to showcase the company's top heavyweights and have them compete in round-robin matches where the winners of the two divisions would then square off in the tournament finals. NJPW's then president Seiji Sakaguchi named the tournament after the G1 horse race.[17] Though considered a continuation of the previous tournaments,[5] officially NJPW does not recognize the earlier tournaments as part of the G1 Climax lineage.[18] The first G1 was held from August 7 to August 11, 1991, at Tokyo's Ryōgoku Kokugikan. The winner of the tournament, assuming they are not already the champion, has traditionally earned a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Since 2012, the winner has earned the "Tokyo Dome IWGP Heavyweight Championship challenge rights certificate", a contract for a title shot at NJPW's largest event, Wrestle Kingdom in Tokyo Dome, held annually on January 4. Much like WWE's Money in the Bank contract, the certificate is kept in a briefcase that the wrestler then has to defend until the end of the year.[19][20] Since its inception, the contract has never changed hands in these matches.[21] In 2015, the tournament format was changed with NJPW reducing the number of G1 Climax matches per show, giving the participating wrestlers more time to rest between matches. This increased the tournament's length to four weeks.[22]

The G1 Climax tournament has often been used as a platform for NJPW to push their rising stars. Wins by young up-and-comers over Japanese legends would usually take their respective careers to new heights. The first tournament was specifically created to make stars out of Keiji Mutoh, Masahiro Chono and Shinya Hashimoto, three NJPW wrestlers who had just returned to the promotion from their overseas learning excursions.[17] Past winners include Mutoh, Chono, Hashimoto, Yuji Nagata, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and others who have gone on to become wrestling superstars.

Unlike the New Japan Cup, the G1 Climax features the then-reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion as one of the participants, except in 1992, 2001, 2004 and 2008, when then-champions Riki Choshu (in 1992), Kazuyuki Fujita (in 2001 and 2004), and Keiji Mutoh (in 2008), respectively, did not compete in the tournament. Often being labeled as a favorite to win the tournament, the IWGP Heavyweight Champion has reached the final five times, the first one being in 1995 when Keiji Mutoh won the tournament. Mutoh would repeat this feat again in 1999, but would lose the final to Manabu Nakanishi. Other then-reigning champions to reach the final include Kensuke Sasaki in 2000, Kazuyuki Fujita in 2005 and Yuji Nagata in 2007. Mutoh and Sasaki are the only two wrestlers to have won the G1 Climax while holding the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.[23] Overall, Antonio Inoki holds the record for most tournament wins with ten, while Masahiro Chono with his five wins holds the record for most tournament wins under its G1 Climax name. Hiroyoshi Tenzan has taken part in the G1 Climax tournament a record 21 times.

The opening night of the 2019 G1 Climax would take place on July 6 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, marking the first time any G1 Climax show has taken place outside Japan. In 2020 it was announced that for the first time in the tournament history that G1 Climax would be held in the fall as opposed to the summer due to the 2020 Summer Olympics being held in Japan during the summer.

2000[]

The 2000 G1 Climax was a round-robin tournament, featuring four blocks of five, with each block champion advancing to a four-man tournament to decide that year's winner; it was held from August 7 to August 13. Also note that the points system was modified from the original: 1 point for a victory, and zero points for a draw or loss. This was the first time that two recognized junior heavyweights; IWGP titleholder Tatsuhito Takaiwa and previous champion Jushin Thunder Liger, were invited to compete in the heavyweight tournament.[37]

2004[]

The 2004 G1 Climax was a two-block, sixteen-man tournament held from August 7 to August 15. As well as the increased number of participants, it introduced a format in which the second and third runner-ups from each block would advance to a four-man tournament, the two finalists of which would advance to a second four-man tournament also featuring each block winner; the eventual winner of this tournament would win the G1 Climax. Also, it would seem that, for this particular year, matches which ended in a double countout or double disqualification would result in zero points for both competitors.[40]

2015[]

The 2015 version of the G1 Climax tournament took place between July 20 and August 16, 2015. Taking place over 19 shows, it was the longest G1 Climax in history.[107] The final three days took place back at Ryōgoku Kokugikan.[108] Participants in the tournament were announced on June 7.[109] For the tournament, NJPW introduced a new format, where each show would only include five tournament matches all from the same block, giving the other participants more time to rest.[22] Shinsuke Nakamura injured his left elbow in his second match, forcing him to forfeit his third match against Michael Elgin.[110]

2016[]

The 2016 version of the G1 Climax tournament is scheduled to take place between July 18 and August 14, 2016.[130] On June 27, NJPW announced the participants, which included two outsiders; Pro Wrestling NOAH's Katsuhiko Nakajima and Naomichi Marufuji.[131] Originally, former three-time G1 Climax winner and the wrestler with the most G1 Climax appearances, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, was left out of the tournament. However, on July 3, Tenzan's longtime tag team partner Satoshi Kojima gave him his spot in the tournament.[132]

Main article: G1 Climax 31

On July 8, 2021, NJPW announced that the 2021 edition of the G1 Climax would take place from September 18 to October 21, with the final two days being held at Nippon Budokan. That was the second time the tournament was held in the fall, due to the 2021 Summer Olympics, which were originally scheduled to be held at the same time of the tournament, prior to the postponement of the Olympics due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic. On September 5, during the second night of Wrestle Grand Slam in Metlife Dome, NJPW announced the participants for the tournament. Jay White, Juice Robinson, Minoru Suzuki and Will Ospreay did not take part of the tournament, due to travel restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 in Japan. This led to Chase Owens, Great-O-Khan, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa replacing them for tournament, with O-Khan, Owens, and Loa making their tournament debut. On September 21, it was announced that Tetsuya Naito would be forced to forfeit the remainder of his block matches, following an injury suffered on his openning match against Zack Sabre Jr., therefore, his scheduled opponents earned two points.

2024[]

Main article: G1 Climax 34

On April 3, 2024, NJPW officially announced the 2024 edition of the tournament between July 20 and August 18; as usual, the tournament took place over several cities and locations across Japan.

For the first time since 2019, the tournament was spread across two, with ten competitors in each block. The list with the eighteen participants spread across the blocks will be announced on June 18 while the other two competitors of each block were determined in qualifier tournaments. The tournament also saw the return of the classic format. The twenty-eight participants were officially announced on June 16, 2024. The list included participants who were marking their first appearance such as Jake Lee and AEW-DDT representative Konosuke Takeshita.

On August 11, Yuya Uemura suffered a legitimate right arm injury in his match with Yota Tsuji, resulting in Uemura having to withdraw from the tournament, with his last remaining tournament match against Boltin Oleg being declared forfeit on Uemura's part.
