I'll just start off my saying while I love Takeshita and I'm happy for him winning. For the G1 this year it had some good to great matches but I don't think it has elevated anyone outside of the winner to a higher position.
For most guys like Tsuji, Narita, Shota, Yuya, etc. I'd say each one has shown a semblance of improvement in terms of the in ring. But I don't think any of them are above the other.
The G1 is a long tournament & certain matches felt like it was just there. And others felt like the booking stopped it from going to that next level.
I'd give it a 7/10. It wasn't higher or lower than last years. And it didn't make me feel excited about the remaining 4 months of the year.
