Throughout the summer, 28 competitors will dwindle down to four, one from each block. These four winners will face off in two semifinal matches in late August, with the two respective winners battling it out in the finals on August 18th. The G1 is one of the most intense, respected, and sought-after tournaments in the world. There’s truly nothing like it. This year has a slew of potential winners, include last year’s winner Okada- can he go back-to-back? One thing’s for certain, the matchups this year are incredible. There will be no shortage of “match of the year” contenders.
Twenty-eight competitors.
Two months.
One goal.
Who will survive and become the winner of G1 Climax 32?
