Fantasy Wrestling presented by Pop-Up Powerbomb City, B*tch!

Suplex City, B*tch! proudly presents the following Special Event: G-Spot Climax Tournament:











WHEN:This is a current ongoing tournament. It started on July 20th and runs through the Finals on August 16th.
WHAT:  New Japan Pro Wrestling - G1 Climax 25 Tournament
WHERE: Somewhere in Japan. If you want to see the entire cards or how to watch you can go here:

You can also read up on the whole thing in Speeps' awesome thread right here: midwestsportsfan.freeforums.net/post/82368/thread
WHO: YOU! However it should be noted that this event is OPTIONAL.
WHY: Because NJPW is the best wrestling on the planet.
HOW: Ok here's the deal.  This is an annual tournament in New Japan. The winner of the tournament gets to face the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion - Okada, at a future date. Okada is also in the tournament, but the current champ hasn't won the tournament in like 20 years or something. Nakamura was/is a heavy favorite but he was recently injured (work/shoot?) and even had to miss one of the days. (In my opinion he was just scared of Michael Elgin.) Anyways...........

If you participate, you have one thing to do: PICK THE WINNER of the Finals (The Finals is the respective winners of Block A and Block B). The tricky part is that you must submit your winner by Monday, August 10th 11:59 ct while the tournament is still in full swing. So either your guy makes the Finals AND wins or you lose.

If you choose not to participate, do nothing.

The special scoring structure for this Special Event is quite simply:
Plus 3 points for a win.
Negative 1 point for a loss.

So that's it. You're either in or not. If you're in, your pick must win the tournament....or you lose. And you either get a +3 or a -1. 




As a reference point, here's the current standings and who's all in Block A & Block B. (Winners meet in the Finals)

Nakamaura seems obvious, but so did Ibushi. AJ doesn't need it, Okada winning just doesn't make sense to me either and I have a funny feeling about Naito. I'm leaning Shibata but I'll pick tomorrow. Over thinking this to the max

Real gutsy picking Okada KS. Really thought you'd go with Tanahashi.

scorejr is on his way home and wasn't sure he was gonna make the deadline. He's taking Naito.

Is he at beansnappers again??

I wouldn't doubt it.

For the record I was thisclose to taking Tanahashi. I just want to be able to brag about that later if he actually wins it.

Was going to go with Okada but its just been so long since a champion won
