Yes (Kevin Kelly and Don Callis)
I'm not sure of the time, yet. I would assume 5pm PST, just like most PPVs. They're also in California

fair, I assumed first AXS (live) show, since I don't get the station.

wonder if any of this will end up on RoH weekly?

I'm sad Kojima won t be there (Bread Club 4 life) also no Minoru Suzuki saddens me
---

I don't know. The second night, July 2, will be on a fucking tape delay until the 7th. I'm happy I have my PC back, though, so I can get New Japan World. I honestly forgot about it until right now

The G1 is one of my favorite things in wrestling, and I will spend my Summer watching it

No way Cody is winning that right? They aren't that stupid.

Nope, This is 100% NJPW, No ROH involvement at all.

It'll probably be on NJPW World.

production team, maybe, but some of the guys on the card are RoH guys.

I'm just not sure how their working relationship works.

It's being booked by Jado & Gedo, not Delirious. It's being funded by New Japan, not ROH. It's a New Japan show, but as you know, they have a working relationship. They let talent work other places

He got a decent match out of Fale, I'm sure he can a better one out of Cody.

So pumped for next week. I got 6th row seats for night 1 and front row for night 2!

I agree

Winner faces WWE Champion in Main Event of SummerSlam. The G1 is the best booked tournament in wrestling

Holy shit. If he beats Okada, would Cody be the first to ever hold the ROH and IWGP titles at the same time? That would be insane.

Wow

^ No

I was going to guess Morishima, but if I was correct (I'm not) he wouldn't win the GHC World Title after he lost the ROH World Title

So are you saying that Cody wouldn't be the first to do that? Who did it already?

lol, whoops.

To be honest, I'm a little drunk and I have no idea why I phrased that post like that. I guess I was thinking you were asking if someone had done it, and I was saying no.

My mistake.

No, no one has held both ROH and IWGP titles at the same time
