Andrew’s G1 Climax 31 Day 16 Results & Match Ratings: 10.14.2021

The dreaded B Block is on match 8. Can EVIL finally be eliminated? Will he ruin Cobb’s undefeated run?

The dreaded B Block is on match 8. Can EVIL finally be eliminated? Will he ruin Cobb’s undefeated run?

So we all know I can’t stand this block. The matches have been mediocre, most of the block has been irrelevant for what seems like half of the tournament already and EVIL is garbage. Like I brought up in Day 14, we saw a similar set up when it was Jay White, Tanahashi and Okada…but they were likable. Hell even the year before that we saw EVIL, Omega and Okada in a similar spot, but this was still underdog EVIL who bounced back from a concussion in the Kenny Omega match to beat Okada.

Do we finally get a story out of this? Is there a big upset? Is there something interesting?

God, I hope so.

Ratings:

  • Taichi w/Miho Abe vs Chase Owens: Chase wins via Package Piledriver @12:05 – *** ¼
  • SANADA vs Hirooki Goto: SANADA wins via Japanese Leg Clutch @15:32 – *** ¼
  • YOSHI-HASHI vs Hiroshi Tanahashi: Tanahashi wins via High Fly Flow @14:13 – *** ½
  • Jeff Cobb vs EVIL: Cobb wins via Tour of the Islands @16:45 – ***
  • Kazuchika Okada vs Tama Tonga: Tama wins via DSD @24:25 – ****

 

Results:

Taichi w/Miho Abe vs Chase Owens

Interesting match where Chase tried to tempt Taichi into a Sumo style start with a lot of stalling and then Taichi tosses him to the outside. They fight on the outside and Taichi maintains control until Chase runs him into the guardrail. After that bump, Taichi’s ribs are on full attack.

Taichi did a great job fighting through the pain, finding openings for hope but he’s wearing a hat he’s not used to. At one point Chase starts asking Miho for a kiss, where she very audibly says “No”. Chase then attacks Taichi every time she rejects him, and you see it getting harder for Miho to say No. Taichi finally gets mad, no sells some offense and Chase starts groveling. But as I said, Taichi isn’t used to the white hat, so even though he lands solid kicks and an Axe Bomber, Chase manages to continue exposing the ribs.

Chase lays out Taichi, looks to the ropes, hits Alabama Jam, then a Package Piledriver for another win! The Bobby Eaton flair and mention from Chase is nice, a little too much of a face move, but I’m not TOO upset with it.

SANADA vs Hirooki Goto

I completely blame the pacing of this tournament for my indifference to this match. There were a lot of solid counters, interesting ways of adjusting one another’s offense…but it was such a typical match from the two.

Goto pulled off many signatures, Ushigoroshi, GTW, and even some Corner Hunger Neckbreaker. SANADA did his usual where he wrestled well enough, had a sloppy transition into the Skull End once or twice, missed a Moonsault here or there but did actually pull off the win with the Leg Clutch.

If you’ve seen one match with these guys, you’ve seen most of them…at least this year.

YOSHI-HASHI vs Hiroshi Tanahashi

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Some may look at this as a match where HASHI showed he could hang with Ace…but those people are delusional. Tanahashi has been on a downward slide for the last few years, and watching HASHI get believable hope spots and near falls really makes you realize that Tanahashi’s time around the main event is coming to a quick end.

HASHI also getting the better of transitional Dragon Suplexes, a nasty neckbreaker when Tanahashi blocks Karma and just generally really good moments, is concerning. Concerning because HASHI hasn’t gotten better, he’s been the same dweeb for the last 6 years, but the bar has lowered so much during Covid its finally at a point where HASHI looks competent.

At least Tanahashi managed to win, which I suppose is supposed to prove he’s not completely washed just yet, but he is.

Jeff Cobb vs EVIL

So early on we get a lot of Cobb trying to put something together and Togo distracts Cobb to give EVIL an opening. Cobb’s power was on heavy display at the right times through the cheating. Togo and EVIL did the “chain wrestling” but Cobb powered through it and flipped both men. Then Cobb babyfaced himself to all of Japan. Early on EVIL tormented poor Abe the time keeper, but Cobb decided he’d flip the script. So he beats on EVIL, Abe moves, he puts EVIL in the chair with the bell hammer and walks over to Dick Togo, manhandles him and then drives him into the guardrail sending EVIL flying. The crowd is very receptive to Cobb beating the hell out of EVIL.

EVIL takes advantage of an exposed buckle and manages to drive Cobb into it, Cobb tried the corner stampede, but Togo jumped up. Cobb tried to ram EVIL into Togo, but got the referee instead. So double team stuff goes on for about a minute. Magic Killer on Cobb, Togo rolls in Asami, and only a near fall. Darkness (near) Falls is next up before EVIL tries to use the exposed buckle again, but Cobb absorbs it and charges through EVIL.

Cobb catches EVIL with a Spin Cycle, but EVIL grabs the referee. More double team stuff but Cobb fights through most of the cheating. EVIL tries to use a chair, Cobb ducks, short arm Tour of the Islands, and Cobb has ended EVIL’s hopes of winning the G1!

Kazuchika Okada vs Tama Tonga

Early on this looked like Okada didn’t totally take the match seriously. But as Okada was playing too much, Tama interrupts Okada’s fake out clean break spot, does a few Leap Frogs and then pulls off the Haku style Chop. Tama starts to take over, they go to the outside, Okada jumps the guardrail after getting Irish Whipped, but Tama Stuns him over the rail. Tama bodies Okada for a while until Okada can stall the offense with the Flapjack.

Okada starts to apply his corner offense and Tama doesn’t have a direct answer as Okada stays a step ahead. Tama stays on the receiving end for a while, even after they go back outside. Once back in the ring, Okada applies the Money Clip and tries to see where this takes him. After two breaks, Okada slams him and goes for the Macho Elbow followed by the classic Rainmaker pose and zoom out.

Things look to be over, goes for the Rolling Rainmaker, but Tama stops him and hits Veleno, and a Tongan Twist. Okada hits a desperation Rolling Rainmaker, but Tama fights off the pickup with a Pele Kick. Okada goes for the Fire/Thunder Driver, but Tama reverses into a Death Valley Driver, then Supreme Flow, but only a two! Back and forth fights and counters, Tama gets Gun Stun blocked at least four times, but he fights through on the last one and pulls off the delayed Gun Stun.

Okada barely gets his arm up by 2.9, then Tama hits DSD and that’s all she wrote! Okada got his first loss!

 

Overall Score: 7.5/10

Alrighty, so this was finally a tolerable pay off day. It started off slow but Taichi is a soft spot for me, so I tend to always care about his matches. From the New Japan perspective, this was probably a solid night for YOSHI-HASHI’s credibility. EVIL is officially eliminated so everyone loved that. Tama beating Okada is a big feather in his cap, coupled with the fact that he’s been wrestling like a Babyface, so a shift in the Bullet Club seems inevitable. Plus Okada finally losing puts all the pressure on him for the last night.

In a perfect way to ruin the fact that Cobb became Mayor of Japan after eliminating the one we all hate, would be if Ospreay returned to Japan PURELY to get involved and screw Okada. Cobb has done it himself, been an upstanding wrestler, but one big heel thing after what he accomplished today would be a good way to build tension.

Let’s get to the standings!

 

B Block:

  1. Jeff Cobb / 8-0 / 16 Points
  2. Kazuchika Okada / 7-1 / 14 Points
  3. EVIL / 6-2 / 12 Points – Eliminated

Kali Armstrong & Natalya VS Nikkita Lyons & Zayda Steel!

The WWE Evolve Women’s Champion is certainly strong like her name suggests, but even she can’t win a 2v1, and that’s why someone had to come to her aid. Can there be a Kali Connection between her and The Queen of Harts? Or will #BigKatKita & The Real Deal sink the champ and The BOAT?

The teams sort out, Kali and Lyons start, and the fans rally up. The two talk trash, then start shoving! They tie up and go around, and Kali puts Lyons in the corner. The ref counts, Kali lets off, and the two reset. The fans rally as Kali takes swings but Lyons bobs ‘n’ weaves to BODY SHOT, then ELBOW! Kali staggers back to her corner, ELBOWS Lyons away, and Natty tags in. Natty runs up, slips around to waistlock, but Lyons switches. Lyons lifts, Natty victory rolls and has the legs! Lyons BOOTS Natty away, and Kali tags back in. Kali and Lyons tie up, Lyons KNEES low, but Kali fires rights ‘n’ lefts! Kali avoids the heel kick to ROCK Lyons!

Lyons tags Zayda, Zayda runs in but Kali fireman’s carries. Zayda slips free, kicks, but Kali blocks to LARIAT! Kali brings Zayda over and tags Natty in now. Natty rolls Zayda up, TWO! Natty CLUBS Zayda, whips, but Zayda reverses. Natty dodges in the corner to then slingshot SIT-DOWN! Natty steps on Zayda, then runs to BOOT! The fans fire up and Natty covers, TWO! Zayda flounders but Natty grabs the legs. Natty steps through but Zayda kicks free! Natty chases Zayda to ropes and the ref has Natty back off. Zayda then YANKS Natty into the ropes! Zayda argues with the ref and Lyons BOOTS Natty down!

The fans boo but Zayda drags Natty over. Tag to Lyons and they mug Natty in the corner! Lyons fires body shots and a KICK! Then Lyons runs Natty side to side to bump her off buckles, then fires off more kicks while Evolve goes to break.

Evolve returns and Lyons has Natty down with a chinbar and armlock combo. The fans rally up while Natty endures, but Lyons grinds her down with a full chinlock. Natty fights up, arm-drags free, and the fans fire up. Natty runs but Lyons picks her up! Lyons RAMS Natty all the way to the other corner! Tag to Zayda, she talks trash on Kali, then runs up to SHINING WIZARD Natty! Zayda snapmares Natty, says kiss this to Kali, and she basement DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Zayda KNEES Natty in the back and clamps on the chinlock. Natty endures but Zayda throws her down! And steps on her! The fans boo, but Natty rolls Zayda up! TWO!

Zayda and Natty scramble, and Zayda drags Natty away from Kali. Zayda bumps Natty off buckles, stomps her, then tags Lyons. Lyons fires body shots, then brings Natty out for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Natty stays in this but Lyons stays on her with a chinlock. The fans rally, Natty fights, but Lyons leans her whole weight on Natty. Natty still fights, still rises, and fires body shots! Lyons THROWS Natty down by her hair! The fans boo but Lyons tags Zayda. Zayda drags Natty up, facelocks, and CLUBS away on her. Zayda powers Natty to a corner, RAMS her, then swaggers. Zayda fires forearms on Natty then tags Lyons.

But Natty ELBOWS Lyons and BOOTS Zayda! Natty crawls past Zayda to hot tag Kali! The fans fire up as the champ rallies on Zayda! Shoulder after shoulder, then one for Lyons! Lyons staggers to a corner, Kali runs in and she RAMS Lyons! Then she goes corner to corner and RAMS Zayda! Kali whips Zayda and picks her up for a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Lyons breaks it! Natty runs up to ROCK Lyons! Lyons ROCKS Natty! Natty ducks the heel kick to DISCUS LARIAT!

The fans fire up while those two bail out and Kali says she didn’t need that help! But Zayda rolls her! TWO, and Kali dodges Zayda to SNAP POWERSLAM! Kali builds up speed, builds speed, but Natty tags in?! KALI CONNECTION! Natty then steps in and has the SHARPSHOOTER! Zayda TAPS, Natty & Kali win!

Winners: Kali Armstrong & Natalya, by submission

Well, okay, Kali didn’t need Natty tagging in at the end, but she admits that’s a good combo. Kali & Natty humble Zayda & Lyons for at least tonight, but Natty glanced at the title. Is the Queen of Harts looking to Evolve as a champion?

 

Stevie Turner talks with Sean Legacy & Timothy Thatcher.

The “Prime Minster” of Evolve says the last few weeks have been some of the biggest in this brand’s short history. She thanks Legacy & Thatcher for helping shape the landscape. Legacy appreciates that, and knows her time is short, so he’ll get to business. He wants first crack at Jackson Drake and that Evolve Championship. Stevie appreciates his initiative, but he’s not the only one who wants it, and she’s already several inquiries. Legacy says he’ll do whatever it takes to be the guy. What if it was a gauntlet against Vanity Project? Thatcher says, “You wanna do what?” Legacy just wants to know, would that be enough?

Stevie double checks: Legacy takes on and beats every man in Vanity Project in a row? Yes, that would make him #1 contender. Then let’s do it! They shake on it and Legacy heads out. Thatcher shakes his head, and says Legacy will just have to learn the hard way. Can Super Sean make it through Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes and Bryce Donovan, just to get after Jackson Drake?

 

Backstage interview with Jordan Oasis and Marchs Mathers.

Chuey Martinez is with The Nomad and Philly’s Finest and says we’ve been following both men’s journeys. A WWE ID Showcase is here! What’s going through their heads? Oasis says he was looking out the window on the bus, rolling down the I-4 on his way here, and he couldn’t help but think of Jackson Drake. That’s because Drake is also WWE ID, and he is the inaugural WWE Evolve Champion. Now, Oasis didn’t put miles and miles on his boots, and ride for hours and hours on buses, only to get this far. His journey to become Evolve Champion starts tonight!

Mathers stops Oasis there, and says if we’re talking journeys and moments, this is Mathers’ Evolve in-ring debut. This is a moment he has pictured over a thousand times. And while Oasis is a big man, he and Mathers have the same goals, and only one can get there first. And Mathers has all the confidence in the world that it will be him. Chuey says the showcase is up next! Which one of these world-traveled wrestlers will take that huge step towards the title?

 

Masyn Holiday & Layla Diggs talk in the locker room.

Masyn knows a lot is going on, and honestly someone here has to know what is going on. First Brinley Reece was attacked, then Dani Palmer, then Carlee Bright. That’s pretty wild. Layla asks, “Is it? Because Zara, we haven’t seen you in a few weeks.” Jin Tala says she and Kendal Grey were just thinking the same thing. Kendal says Zara has to be the attacker! Zara says she didn’t do it. Then does she have proof? No, but that’s not her style. If you got issue with her, let’s settle it in the ring. Okay, let’s do it! The locker room is on edge, but will the Petite Powerhouse prove her innocence?

 

WWE ID Showcase: Marcus Mathers VS Jordan Oasis!

While Sean Legacy wants to run the gauntlet, these two have been working their way up the indies and are now ready to Evolve. But will Philly’s Finest make a huge splash in his debut? Or will the Nomad prove that he belongs?
