NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day 1

The G1 (Grade One) Climax is a professional wrestling tournament held each August by the New Japan Pro-Wrestling promotion. Though it has sometimes been held as a single-elimination tournament, it is usually (and currently) held as a round-robin, with winners from two blocks wrestling in the final to decide that year's winner. In its current format, the tournament lasts four weeks. The winner of each block is determined by a points system; two points for a victory, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. A BLOCK -- Saturday, July 14 -- Tokyo -- Ota General Gymnasium (Opening Day) Togi Makabe vs. YOSHI-HASHI Hangman Page vs. Bad Luck Fale Michael Elgin vs. EVIL Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Minoru Suzuki Jay White vs. Kazuchika Okada
