B Block Wrestlers Make Their Statements at G1 Climax Press Conference
In the aftermath of a heated A Block press conference, the B Block wrestlers took the stage in Sapporo to share their thoughts and intentions for the upcoming G1 Climax tournament. While there were moments of laughter from the crowd, the underlying tension and threats were palpable. Fans can soon watch the full conference on NJPW World.
Kazuchika Okada, the winner of the last two G1 Climax tournaments, addressed the crowd with a determination to win once again. Despite the lack of cheers in the past, Okada called on the audience to bring the noise and promised to tear through the competition in B Block.
Will Ospreay, the newly crowned IWGP US Champion, expressed his confidence and dismissed any potential threats from his opponents. Ospreay declared himself on a level above everyone else and claimed that the G1 Climax is already his.
Taichi, a dual career pro-wrestler and YouTuber, had a unique approach to the conference. He emphasized his desire to win the IWGP World Heavyweight title for the first time and highlighted the importance of achieving results for his YouTube channel. Taichi urged fans to “like,” “share,” and “subscribe” to support his endeavors.
KENTA, known for his brash demeanor, took the opportunity to taunt his fellow B Block competitors. Speaking in English, KENTA declared that the G1 Climax 33 would be his tournament and mocked the appearance of his opponents. He claimed the title of “best looking” in his block and promised to emerge victorious.
YOSHI-HASHI, the IWGP Tag Team Champion, admitted to feeling nervous about his attire for the conference. While he opted for a sport jacket and tee instead of a suit, he expressed relief that only Okada was dressed formally. YOSHI-HASHI aimed to prove his worth in the singles tournament and showcase his handsomeness to KENTA.
Tanga Loa, who recently returned from an injury, expressed gratitude for the support of the fans. Despite his injury, Tanga Loa promised to give his all in every match and thanked the audience for their continuous support.
El Phantasmo (ELP) was absent from the press conference due to a reported “sore throat.” A prepared statement was read on his behalf, which included backhanded compliments towards his fellow B Block wrestlers. However, ELP’s statement notably praised Tanga Loa’s physique in a sincere and earnest manner.
Great-O-Khan chose not to comment during the press conference, leaving fans in confusion and speculation. Additionally, Great-O-Khan refrained from participating in the wrestler group photo, further adding to the mystery surrounding his intentions.
As the G1 Climax approaches, the tension between the B Block wrestlers is evident. Each competitor has their own motivations and strategies for securing victory in the tournament. Fans can catch all the action on NJPW World and witness the intense battles that will unfold in the coming weeks.
