New Japan runs Day 2 of the G1 CLIMAX 35 Tournament today, and like yesterday it’s all about tournament matches. 10 total matches are set for today with the main event scheduled to be a Block B match of Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Gabriel Kidd. After main eventing Day 1 yesterday Hiroshi Tanahashi is instead in the first match facing Callum Newman. The top Block A match in the semifinal slot today is Taichi vs. Yuya Uemura as the former Just 5/4/3 Guys factionmates square off.

Today’s event will be held at Hokkaido Prefectural Sports Center Hokkai Kita Yell in Hokkaido and can be watched LIVE on New Japan World in Japanese and English. All the matches have 30 minute time limits so while it could go over 5 hours it’s more likely to be in the 2 1/2-3 hour range.

Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Callum Newman (Block A)
Shota Umino vs. Drilla Moloney (Block B)

10 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE form Hokkaido Prefectural Sports Center Hokkai Kita Yell in Hokkaido.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. They drew just under 2600 yesterday (the venue’s capacity is, I believe, at least 3500) so I’ll make an initial guess of 2500 for today. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 2520)

When we start…not a good sign as Gabriel Kidd comes out on crutches, his right knee taped. With microphone in the ring. He asks the ring staff to translate as he speaks in English. Hyperextended knee yesterday. Out today. Status uncertain but Kidd says he is not pulling out of the tournament. Presumably this means the main event today is off and Zack Sabre Jr. wins by forfeit, which would mean Taichi-Yuya Uemura is now the main event. And that is now official.

Zack Sabre Jr. beat Gabriel Kidd by forfeit. Sabre is now 1-1, 2 points. Kidd is 0-2, 0 points.
