Toru Yano (8) vs. Jeff Cobb (6)
Neither of these men could advance to the finals, and their fight would be for pride and ranking alone. Yano has constantly entertained during the tournament, and it's been a great introduction to the silliness that even the most serious promotion is capable of.
Yano attempted to smuggle five rolls of tape into the ring, wrapped Cobb in his own singlet, and attempted two pinfalls before the first minute of the match had exhausted itself. Yano exposed two turnbuckles and Cobb slammed his back into one of them before dragging him up. Yano let Cobb get very close, and Yano threw Cobb down with a belly-to-belly suplex.
Cobb tool the wind out of Yano with a Kashigushi move and his finisher, the Tour of the Islands, to pin him. Cobb ends his G1 tied with Yano at 8 points. Congratulations to both men for their accomplishment!
