Hopefully this year we get the debut of Bryan Danielson in the G1 Climax: first-time dream matches v. Okada and ZSJ beckon (heck, a match against Great O’Khan would be a mat classic), as do intriguing rematches v. Shingo, Tanahashi, and KENTA. Maybe bring the whole BCC…

1. I really do hope TK let’s Bryan enter the G1 this year, all the matches you have listed would be fantastic; some other opponents I’d love to see Bryan lock up with: Jay White, Ospreay, Ren Narita, Ishii, Desperado, Naito, Hiromu and Shota Umino.

2. Before Bryan retires he said he wants to wrestle in japan and with cheering crowds coming back more and more it’s possible. We don’t have much time and we should do it this year if possible.

3. Everyone talking about Bryan vs ZSJ, but i’m still waiting for the ZSJ/Mox match we were going to get before Covid fucked it up.

4. Obhari wants to accelerate talent development, so it’s possible vets like Tana and Kenta get cut. There’s only so much room in a 20M format and I’m curious what direction they’ll take.

5. Does he want to do the g1, has he commented?

6. zsj would be a rematch also i think

7. Please tell me I’m not the only one who wants to see Danielson Wrestle Taichi

8. Great-o-khan v Danielson would GO

9. If he’s in the G1, then I am 100% buying into it.

10. God I want to see Danielson not only have a G1 run but a NJPW run overall

    It’s never happening but Danielson seems like a guy that would make it work and maybe even put someone over at WK when he does leave

11. Maybe it’s just me but this year is starting to feel like the last chance we have. I know Bryan has said he’ll wrestle way past this contract, but it feels like when he says ‘this contract is the last time I’ll wrestle full time’, he also unintentially means ‘I’m not doing a month-and-a-half tour after this.’

    I just want that Shingo rematch with Shingo at his best and most polished.

12. I think you save the Okada match for later, plus you can’t put all the big names in one block lol.

    Danielson sharing a block with ZSJ, Will, Tanahashi, and KENTA is how I’d do it.

13. I want to see Naito and Danielson fight.

14. I’m desperately yearning for this. Also so badly want to see one or two other guest competitors from AEW, same thing for BoSJ. Hope Bandido does it again– or even the G1!– as he’s rapidly become one of my favorite guys.

15. Back to this again? Everyone agrees with this – why keep posting about it? I posted something about it long ago (last years g1) and my post was removed. What has happened to the mods since then?

16. Takeshita to G1 pls

17. TK doesn’t want him wrestling in Japan, so probably be when his contract ends

18. i would watch bryan danielson vs japanese wrestling.

19. Danielson vs Zabre jr 😍😍😍

20. Danielson vs Ospreay would fucking rule.

21. Bryan isn’t going to be in G1 aew arnt going to give up one of there top guys for a month+

22. Would love if Bryan Danielson joined the G1

23. Actually, Danielson and Tanahashi has happened before

24. He needs to rematch Takagi.

25. Same
