The Doc Says…G1 Climax, Top 20 NJPW Matches of 2019, Styles-Ricochet

Follow @TheDocLOP

This week, The Doc focuses on New Japan Pro Wrestling.  Late last year, his WWE fandom waning but his pro wrestling love unwavering, he turned to NJPW.  It was a rejuvenating experience.

Rarely has New Japan been given a proper spotlight on The Doc Says, however.  All Elite Wrestling has captured his imagination and dominated post-WrestleMania Season attention.  NJPW shall no longer take a backseat.  The G1 Climax has begun!  What an amazing tournament it has already been and promises to be.  Doc runs down his thoughts from the early-going.

Of course, NJPW has had yet another banner year, so today also offers a half-way through 2019 account of New Japan’s Top 20 matches, pre-G1.  Did your favorite make the cut?  Or perhaps you may be looking for a viewer’s guide?

Before signing off, Doc heaps praise on the recent heel turn by AJ Styles in WWE ahead of his United States Title bout with Ricochet at Extreme Rules.
