Powell’s POV: Ospreay received medical clearance to work this show after sitting out of a non-tournament match on Monday with a neck injury. The show will stream live Thursday morning on New Japan World at 4:30CT/5:30ET. I will have a review of the G1 matches available at some point on Thursday. The tournament will continue on Friday and Saturday at Korakuen Hall and runs through the finals on August 12. My coverage of the first four days of the G1 are available in our NJPW PPV Reports section.
