New Japan ran Day 16 of G1 CLIMAX 32, returning to the Machida area of Tokyo for the first time in 3 years. Despite a typhoon (hurricane) battering this part of Japan, the event went on as planned.
Today’s event was held at Machida Gym in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on New Japan World in Japanese and English. This was a Samurai! TV broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 2212. Taking the typhoon/hurricane into consideration, this was a really good number. Yoshinobu Kanemaru is the guest on Japanese commentary.

The September New Japan World broadcast schedule is set, and unfortunately the vast majority of the Burning Spirit Tour next month will not be available live or on demand. That includes a Korakuen Hall event, which is unheard of. At this time just 5 of the 17 scheduled events will be available live & on demand: 9/2 (Yokohama Budokan), 9/5 (Korakuen), 9/18 (Beppu B-Con Plaza in Oita), 9/23 (Takamatsu City General Gym 1 in Kagawa) and 9/25 (Kobe World Hall-tour-ender). 9/25 will have live English audio.
