It might be cheesey, but I'm really hoping the final four for this year's G1 end up being the R3M and Yuya. All of them have had a lot of development this year and moments to shine.
Umino main evented WK and lost in his title challenge. Lost to Khan and shaved his hair. Mild redemption by making it to the Cup finals only to lose again, this time to Finlay. Another title challenge failure against Goto. A heated feud with Shingo and again another loss.
Narita got to lead HoT for a short period while EVIL "quit" and won the trios title. He had a break out moment in the War Dogs and House of Torture Dog Pound Cage Match.
Yuya beat SANADA, his former stable mate twice in a row and continued his feud with Tsuji.
And Tsuji has been on a roll. Defeated Finlay to win the Global title. A dramatic double KO with Gabe. Defeated EVIL and Yuya in title defenses.
Shit. If we have the same format as last year, add Gabe and TAKESHITA to the list for the final six. Both of them have had their own shining moments as well with Gabe's war against Kenny and winning the dog pound. While TAKESHITA is the reigning NEVER champ with a record V6 and defeated Tanahashi in his final US match. The 6 rising stars of current day NJPW.
