The very first match in the N-1 and it left a great impression on me. Go watch Manabu Soya vs Katsuhiko Nakajima if you get the chance, seriously!!!

My G1 Climax 33 and N-1 Victory 2023 Final Predictions

As we are only 5 days away from G1 Climax 33 beginning in Sapporo and less than a month away from N-1 Victory 2023 beginning in Yokohama, can say with full confidence that I have my predicted finals for 2023 and here they are:

For G1 Climax 33, my predicted final will be Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Tetsuya Naito.

Now, I have 3 ways as to how each will make it to the finals in which I have 3 sets of predictions of who will be my final 8.

The first set of my final 8 will be Shota Umino and Kaito Kiyomiya from A Block, Kazuchika Okada and El Phantasmo from B Block, Eddie Kingston and EVIL from C Block, and Jeff Cobb and Tetsuya Naito from D Block. In this first set for Kiyomiya to be in the final, I have him beating Jeff Cobb and El Phantasmo while I have Naito beating Okada and EVIL. Interesting fact, this first set of 8 I have predicted would've had Okada and Kiyomiya in the finals but if I want Naito in the final, tough decision had to be made in which Naito will beat Okada and then EVIL to face Kaito Kiyomiya.

For my second set, I have Kaito Kiyomiya and SANADA from Block A, El Phantasmo and KENTA from Block B, my top 2 from Block C remains unchanged (Eddie Kingston and EVIL), and in D Block I have Tetsuya Naito and Zack Sabre Jr. Now, here for the final, I will have Kiyomiya overcoming the House of Torture to defeat EVIL and then defeat El Phantasmo to advance to the final. Tetsuya Naito...have him beating SANADA in what could be a preview for Wrestle Kingdom 18 should Naito win the G1 and then have him beating KENTA avenging a Ryogoku loss from 3 years ago. In this second set here, should this final come to be, have Naito facing Pro Wrestling NOAH's past (KENTA) in the semi-finals and NOAH's present (Kaito Kiyomiya) in the overall finals. Be interesting to see how that'll work out.

My third and final set of my final 8 will have once more Shota Umino and Kaito Kiyomiya from A Block (they were also predicted in my first set). El Phantasmo and KENTA from B Block (predicted in my second set). You can say C Block is pretty much set in stone because I just feel that Eddie Kingston and EVIL will be the top two no matter what the prediction is. And D Block...same as the first set, Jeff Cobb and Tetsuya Naito. The final 4 I predicted here would be NOAH's past meeting NOAH's present while at the same time a LIJ betrayal that could lead to a revival. That predicted final 4 in this set is KENTA (NOAH's Past) vs. Kaito Kiyomiya (NOAH's Present) and EVIL (the traitor) vs. Tetsuya Naito.

Now, who do I have winning G1 Climax 33? Many know that this year, this G1 will belong to Tetsuya Naito. Have Tetsuya Naito going all the way and it'll be interesting if he'll keep the promise that Kenoh and Kiyomiya made in Hachioji.

That promise is that the G1 Climax 33 winner will meet the N-1 Victory 2023 winner in a singles match in a Pro Wrestling NOAH ring.

Speaking of N-1 Victory 2023, I have my predicted final but how I have them reaching the final remains to be seen as the match cards will not be announced until July 15th 2023 after which I'll have an image as how this final will come to light. But...I have my predicted N-1 Victory Final and...it'll be Kenoh vs. Go Shiozaki in which I'll have Shiozaki finally defeating Kenoh and getting not only that first win over the former Kongo leader but his first singles tournament victory in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Interesting fact, even when it was Global League, Shiozaki has never won the finals itself. He reached the finals in 2017 and lost to Kenoh in that year's overall final. This year, in 2023, I feel like this will be his chance to win this tournament and show us all age is just a number. Shiozaki is the oldest of the 16 N-1 Victory 2023 participants competing at the age of 41.

So, to recap this...despite a promise being made, neither Kaito Kiyomiya or Kenoh will be able to keep it as both will lose in their finals to Tetsuya Naito and Go Shiozaki respectively. Again, be interesting to see if Naito and Shiozaki will go along with the promise that Kiyomiya and Kenoh made in Hachioji.

G1 Climax 33 begins July 15th in Sapporo and will end on August 13th in Ryogoku Kokukigan. N-1 Victory 2023 begins August 6th in Yokohama Budokan and will end on September 3rd in EDION Arena Osaka.
