For the A Block, the notable matches include Okada vs. Tanahashi, and Suzuki facing both men. The B Block should be outstanding with just Omega matches alone given that the new IGWP Heavyweight Champion will be facing Ibushi, Naito, Sabre Jr., and Sanada, not to mention the various matches with those wrestlers all facing one another. Each of the G1 events will be broadcast in English on the New Japan World streaming service.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>NEW:<\/b> Help support Prowrestling.net when you shop Amazon by starting your online Amazon shopping at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/prowrestling.net\/amazon\">Prowrestling.net\/amazon<\/a>.
