...despite the fact that that Tay Conti has fallen to the Beast Bomb in both of her previous attempts to defeat Nyla Rose, she continues to

In wrestling, one of the best things about each match is the wrestlers entrance. It is always layered with their personality, and even if it's only a bit, each entrance has a unique flair. One thing that I wondered about was, if maybe entrance order could determine the outcome of the match in a persistent way.

In 2018, Kota Ibushi got to the final of the G1 after winning his block and was denied what would have been an incredibly special clash with Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 13. Hiroshi Tanahashi went on to face Kenny Omega and the 1 on 1 showdown between Omega and Ibushi for the title never happened.

IT'S HERE! But is it any good? Not a question that is usually as prominent at the beginning of G1 season but after the abomination that was Dominion 2020, it is a fair question. The answer?
