G1 Climax 2003 Block A Match 

Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Manabu Nakanishi 

They didn't click, too much sloppyness here. Still an enjoyable match but nothng special.
**3/4

G1 Climax 2003 Block A Match 

Masahiro Chono vs. Osamu Nishimura 

A 2003 Chono singles match going 25 minutes may not seems really appealing but if someone can pull it off it's Nishimura... and he did. Good legwork, the kneedrop is an awesome visual.
***1/2

G1 Climax 2003 Block B Match 

Tadao Yasuda vs. Yoshihiro Takayama

Yasuda is bad. Takayama's offense make the match watchable but my god Yasuda is garbage and he's dangerous too.
