Goto and Hashi worked stiff, but it was a slow stiff. From an action perspective it worked, but Yoshi-Hashi doesn\u2019t for me. His matches, though technically sound, just don\u2019t have enough drama behind them to get to the next level.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) ZACK SABRE JR. vs. TORU YANO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNER: ZSJ via submission ***1\/2<\/p>\n<p><em>(Heydorn\u2019s Analysis: Yano matches typically don\u2019t work for me within the confines of this tournament. I liked this a lot though. ZSJ sold the Yano gimmick well and Yano trying to out-wrestle ZSJ on the mat was a fun nugget. These guys had chemistry and it showed.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) SANADA vs. KENTA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Sanada via pinfall ***1\/2<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2840068512\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>(Heydorn\u2019s Analysis: Just a smooth match all the way through.

Since both Naito and Juice are beloved babyfaces, it was tough to figure out who to side with. Because of Naito\u2019s arrogance, he almost came off as the heel, which isn\u2019t a consistent portrayal of his character. That along with the length created some awkward moments. Still though, action packed with an invested audience.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) HIROSHI TANAHASHI vs. EVIL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNER: EVIL via pinfall ***1\/4<\/p>\n<p><em>(Heydorn\u2019s Analysis: I continue to be impressed with Tanahashi\u2019s ability to tell stories. He uses psychology to push narratives and emotions in his matches and those engage his audience. There was a lot of interference here, but that helped tell the story of the match in which Tanahashi simply could not overcome it all. Not only does that paint Tanahashi as sympathetic, but it gives EVIL the heel heat he needs moving forward.)<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/10\/07\/10-5-new-japan-g1-climax-results-day-11-fanns-report-on-ibushi-vs-takagi-cobb-vs-okada-ishii-vs-takahashi-jay-white-vs-taichi-will-ospreay-vs-takagi\/\">10\/7 NEW JAPAN G1 CLIMAX RESULTS \u2013 DAY 11: Fann\u2019s report on Ibushi vs. Takagi, Cobb vs. Okada, Ishii vs. Takahashi, Jay White vs. Taichi, Will Ospreay vs. Takagi<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3752579097\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-107260374\"><div id=\"pwtor-338451810\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>HEYDORN&#8217;S NJPW G1 CLIMAX 30 &#8211; NIGHT 12 REPORT (B Block) OCTOBER 8, 2020 AIRED ON NJPW WORLD STREAMING SERVICE (1) HIOOKI GOTO vs. YOSHI-HASHI WINNER: Goto via pinfall *** (Heydorn\u2019s Analysis: Good athleticism, but <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/10\/14\/10-8-new-japan-g1-climax-results-day-12-heydorns-report-on-tanahashi-vs-evil-sanada-vs-kenta-zsj-vs-toru-yano-goto-vs-yoshi-hashi-naito-vs-juice\/\" title=\"10\/8 NEW JAPAN G1 CLIMAX RESULTS \u2013 DAY 12: Heydorn\u2019s report on Tanahashi vs. Evil, Sanada vs. Kenta, ZSJ vs. Toru Yano, Goto vs. Yoshi-Hashi, Naito vs. Juice\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":102314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,9,14,5610,542],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tvshowsandevents","category-results","category-results_japanliveevents","category-njpwg1","category-new-japan-ppvs"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/08\/IMG_4950.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106331"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106333,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106331\/revisions\/106333"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
