The G1 Climax has been going on over the last week. This is an annual round-robin tournament held by New Japan Pro Wrestling, split between Japanese wrestlers and gaijin – I don’t know much about it, but a lot of my twitter friends are REALLY INTO IT so I’ve been learning by osmosis.
It’s kind of as if the Royal Rumble happened over 5 days, every match was full-length it and featured all of the best wrestlers in the world that aren’t currently booked to WWE.
Here’s the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G1_Climax
Anyway, there’s a person making astonishing gifs from the tournament, and here’s a gallery. Take a look! If nothing else, you’ll see some goddam amazing moves.

If Spike really ends up dropping TNA, I hope they pick up NJPW instead.
The gifs are….wow!
