The G1 Climax 32 is a professional wrestling tournament promoted by the Japan-based New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). The tournament started on July 16 and was concluded on August 18, 2022. It was the fifteenth edition of G1 Climax and the forty-eighth edition of the tournament counting its previous forms under different names.[5][1]

Considered NJPW's most important tournament, the G1 Climax features twenty eight wrestlers, divided into four blocks of seven ("A", "B", "C" and "D"). Each participant faces all six other wrestlers within the same block in singles matches. The winner of each block is determined via a point system, with two points for a win, one point for a draw, and no point for a defeat; each night of the event sees the seven members of one block compete for the tournament, while the members of the non-competing block perform in tag team matches that have no influence of the tournament results. On the final day of the event, the winners of a tournament consisting of the winners of the four respective blocks face each other in a singles elimination tournament to determine the winner of the G1 Climax, who gained a future match for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom, NJPW's biggest yearly event.

As usual, the tournament took place over several cities and locations; the 2022 edition marked the first time in two years that the G1 Climax tournament is taking place in the summer since the 2021 Olympic Games, while coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6]

At twenty-eight participants, it is the largest field in G1 Climax history and the most amount of competitors since 2014. The tournament will also run in a four-block round-robin format for the first time since 2000. The tournament will also see the G1 Climax debut of Tom Lawlor, Jonah, whom will mark their debut in Japan, El Phantasmo, Aaron Henare, and David Finlay. as well as Lance Archer's first participation since 2019.

The tournament will be broadcasted live on TV Asahi and Fighting TV Samurai in Japan, AXS TV in the United States, in tape delay, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling World worldwide.

On April 9, 2022, during the fifth night of Hyper Battle '22, NJPW officially announced the 2022 edition of the tournament between July 16 and August 18; it was announced that the tournament would be held at in August, marking the first time in two years that the tournament would be held in the summer.[7]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic[]

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, other wrestling promotions began to cancel or postpone their shows in an attempt to prevent further spreading of the COVID-19 virus.[8] At the end of February 2021, following recommendations by the Japanese Ministry of Health regarding the coronavirus outbreak, NJPW canceled the events between March 1 and March 15 including the promotion's Anniversary Event and the first and the second round of New Japan Cup.[9] On March 23, NJPW also canceled the 2020 Sakura Genesis event, which was originally scheduled to take place on March 31.[10] On April 8, NJPW canceled more events from April 11 through May 4, leading to the cancelation of both nights of 2020 Wrestling Dontaku and would also cancel the whole Best of the Super Juniors tournament as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on May 6.[11][12] Various wrestlers such as David Finlay, El Phantasmo, KENTA, the Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa), Jay White, Juice Robinson, Will Ospreay, Rocky Romero, and Robbie Eagles were unable to work on NJPW events due to travel restrictions because of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, NJPW wrestlers and staff created the NJPW Together project in order to do bring content to NJPW World with interviews and old archived matches.[13] On May 6, NJPW announced that their Wrestle Dynasty event would be postponed to 2021, due to the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.[14] On June 8, during an online press conference, NJPW Chairman Naoki Sugabayashi announced that the promotion would start to held shows on June 15, starting with the Together Project Special and the return of the 2020 New Japan Cup between June 16 and July 11, with all shows being held behind closed doors. It was also that the finals of the New Japan Cup and the Dominion in Osaka-jo Hall would be the first shows to allow fans into the arena, but only a third of the venue's normal capacity, after the Japanese Government lifted some restrictions on many regions in Japan.[15] On August 11, NJPW announced that all G1 Climax show would have a limited number of wrestlers participating on the tour, with B block wrestlers not competing on A block shows throughout the tour, due to prevention measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16] On October 6, it was announced that the 2020 Best of the Super Juniors would be resumed alongside the 2020 World Tag League, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, with the tounaments taking place between November 15 until December 11. With both tournaments consisting of ten nights, taking place on alternate days opposed to each other with the exceptions being the first round on November 15, final round on December 6 and the finals on December 11.[17]

On November 29, 2021 Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced that foreigners would be banned from entering Japan, due to the spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant from South Africa, with those being permitted woud be forced to abide by a 14-day quarantine. The following day, NJPW President Takami Ohbari, in an interview with Tokyo Sports, addressed the situation stating that new travel restrictions implemented in Japan due to the COVID-19 Omicron variant would not apply to talent that already had visas.[18][19] However, due to the decrease of COVID-19 cases in Japan in light of the Omicron variant, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced on February 12 that on March 1, it would start letting foreigners to arrive Japan, only for essential reasons such as professional, study, family reunion and health or humanitarian reasons, with those being permitted being forced to abide by a 3-day quarantine.[20] On April 6, the Japanese government announced that it would lift its travel ban on 106 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, with the people arriving from these 106 countries not being subject of an entry denial. However, the Japanese government clarified that despite lifting the travel ban from these countries, it would not mitigate the current restrictions.[21] On April 9, it was reported by Fightful Select that NJPW was starting to work on securing visas to bring its foreign talent to Japan for events in the future, including this year's Best of the Super Juniors and this year's edition of the G1 Climax. Previously, several foreign wrestlers were not allowed to wrestle in Japan due to the on-going restrictions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. However due to the restrictions, many big names that wanted to work in Japan were not allowed due to the company not wanting to bring more talent at the time.[22][23]

Tournament Rules[]

As per usual G1 Climax tradition, the tournament features twenty wrestlers, divided into four blocks of seven participants ("A", "B", "C" and "D"). Each participant faces all seven other wrestlers within the same block in singles matches, with the winner of each block being determined via a point system, gaining two points for a win, one point for a tie, and no point for a defeat; each night of the event sees the ten members of a same block compete for the tournament, while the members of the non-competing block perform in tag team matches that have no influence of the tournament results, typically facing their future tournament opponents. In case of several wrestler sharing the top score, the results of the matches those wrestlers had when facing each others in the tournament act as tiebreaker, with the one having the most wins over the other top-scorers determining the winner of the block.[24][2]

On the final day of the event, the respective winners of both blocks face each other in a singles-elimination tournament to determine the winner of the G1 Climax, who would gain a future match for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, NJPW's top championship, at Wrestle Kingdom, NJPW's biggest yearly event; if the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion himself wins, he gets to pick his opponent at Wrestle Kingdom. The low-card matches have a twenty-minutes time limit, while the matches of the tournament have a 30-minutes time limit (with the time limit being reached resulting in a tie); the semifinal and final matches between the four block winners has no time limit.[24][2]
