Yujiro Takahashi (0-3) vs. Minoru Suzuki (2-1) (G1 Climax 30 A Block Match)
Our A Block opener for this evening was Yujiro Takahashi of the Bullet Club facing NEVER Openweight Champion Minoru Suzuki of Suzuki-gun. Takahashi came in at 0-3, while Suzuki came in at 2-1 following his win over Cobb on Night 5 of the G1 Climax 30.
Both men came out shoving before the bell. This led to a fiery exchange of big boots to start this G1 Climax 30 contest. The action went to the floor, where Yujiro choked Suzuki with his pimp cane. Back in the ring, Suzuki gained the advantage and took it back to the outside. Suzuki caught him with a stiff elbow to the jaw. Once back inside, he looked for the choke. However, Yujiro fought him off and hit a Fisherman's Buster. Yujiro showed more fire against Suzuki who wasn't taking him serious at all times here.
Yujiro fought out of a choke and looked for Pump Juice. However, Suzuki rolled out and locked on the choke before he transitioned to the Gotch Piledriver for the win in just under eight minutes. Minoru Suzuki gets another two points in the G1 Climax 30. Yujiro remains winless. This was well worked and solid for what it was.
Results: Minoru Suzuki (6) defeats Yujiro Takahashi (0) via pinfall
Star Rating: **3/4
