ADMISSIONS:

  1. Oleg Boltin: This is due to a recent injury. I could very much be wrong about this to be honest, as Oleg Boltin has appeared on G1 Climax 2026 promotional material

  2. Great-O-Khan: Sorry, I’m just not a massive fan of this guys work. I don’t think he makes the cut with the other United Empire members. I don’t necessarily hate the Great-O-Khan, it’s more that there’s 20+ guys I’d rather have.

  3. HENARE: I do actually really like HENARE, but if Great-O-Khan doesn’t appear, I don’t think his tag team partner should either.

  4. El Desperado: One day please, I think that both El Desperado and Hiromu Takahashi should’ve been in the G1 Climax last year. I’m being extremely hopeful with this, I’m pretty sure it’s not gonna happen.

– I know people may disagree with two guest entrants (with Andrade El Idolo and Chris Brookes), but with my unconditional bias towards DDT and the first night happening in the US, I think it’s very much worth it.
– In this scenario, I’m guessing that Taichi won’t appear on the first night. They would probably do what they did with Konosuke Takeshita back in 2024 were he missed the second night and wrestled on the third instead.
