I needed almost 700 words to properly explain what was at stake as the A Block’s final card progressed through the complicated mess of tiebreakers a few days ago, but the B Block is much simpler:
If Kazuchika Okada wins the main event against Jeff Cobb, Kazuchika Okada wins the B Block. If Kazuchika Okada doesn’t win the main event (including a draw), Jeff Cobb wins the B block. That’s it. 32 words, and I used full names.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to fight for on the undercard, but that’s all for personal accomplishment and positioning as the NJPW calendar rolls past the G1. In the semi-main event, SANADA will look to surpass his career low of 8 points by keeping EVIL away from his career high in a grudge match of former tag team partners. In the third tournament match of the night, Hiroshi Tanahashi looks to get into the double digits for the first time since 2019 as he faces off with Taichi who has already locked in his career-low G1 points. Further down the card, Hirooki Goto is avoiding his all-time low, as he enters his match with Tama Tonga with just 4 points in this year’s tournament. And the tournament action will begin with two wrestlers entering the night with four points as YOSHI-HASHI and Chase Owens open up the tournament action.
It can not be ignored that JAM Project will be kicking off the proper card at 6:00pm JST, performing the G1 Climax theme song, Max the Max. Prior to JAM Project, Hiromu Takahashi and BUSHI will lay another beating on Kosei Fujita and Ryohei Oiwa beginning at 5:30 JST.
If Jeff Cobb Wins, Jeff Cobb wins the block. Cobb would be the only wrestler with 18 points.
If Kazuchika Okada wins, Kazuchika Okada wins the block. Okada and Cobb would be tied at 16 with Okada holding the head-to-head tiebreaker over Cobb.
If Jeff Cobb and Kazuchika Okada go to a draw, Jeff Cobb wins the block. Cobb would be the only wrestler with 17 points.
G1 Climax 31: B Block Table
Main Event G1 Climax 31 B Block Match Kazuchika Okada [14] vs. Jeff Cobb [16]
It has been 7 years since Kazuchika Okada ended a G1 Climax with a victory. The last time Okada ended his tournament with a win was in 2014 when he went on to win the tournament. In the six tournaments since then, he is 0-4-2 on the last night of block competition.
G1 Climax 31 – Tournament To Date
Jeff Cobb looks to go undefeated through the B Block tonight. Only four wrestlers have ever gone undefeated through G1 Climax block competition.
Riki Choshu – 1996 (five-wrestler block, won tournament)
Kazuyuki Fujita – 2005 (eight wrestler block, lost in semi-final to Toshiaki Kawada)
Hiroyoshi Tenzan – 2006 (five wrestler block, won tournament)
Shinsuke Nakamura – 2009 (seven wrestler block, lost in final)
In just eight matches, Kazuchika Okada’s 3 hour, 9 minute, and 7 second G1 Climax tournament is the second longest tournament ever. Okada will break Tetsuya Naito’s 2020 record with a 19 minute match against Jeff Cobb in Budokan.
Okada’s 3:09:07 total match length is over 1 hour and 10 minutes longer than Cobb’s across their first 8 matches.
Kazuchika Okada’s 23 minute and 38 second average match length is the longest in G1 Climax history. His average is currently 35 seconds per match longer than Tetsuya Naito’s 2020 tournament.
While Kazuchika Okada has been wearing down his opponents to gain competitive advantage, Jeff Cobb has been dominating quickly. Cobb’s 14:51 average match length is the second shortest in the B Block, third shortest in the tournament.
Cobb’s longest match so far in the tournament was 19 minutes and 5 seconds. Only one of Kazuchika Okada’s wins in this year’s tournament ended in less than 19:05 (Chase Owens).
The 8 minute and 47 second difference in average match length is the widest margin of any two wrestlers entering a winner-takes-all block match in the last 10 years.
Kazuchika Okada accounts for 13.8% of Total B Block match time, Cobb accounts for just 8.67% of total block time.
Jeff Cobb now holds the record for the most points scored in a single 20 wrestler G1 Climax Tournament at 16 and the most consecutive G1 matches won in a single tournament (8). The previous record was held Hiroshi Tanahashi who scored 15 points in 2018. Kazuchika Okada, AJ Styles, and Shinsuke Nakamura all scored 16 points in 2014 when the tournament featured 11 wrestlers per block.
Kazuchika Okada has been flirting with Time Limit Draws all tournament. Two of Okada’s victories in this year’s tournament have ended over the 29 minute mark. His 29:36 win over Hiroshi Tanahashi was the third-longest G1 Climax match ever to render a decision. His 29:14 win over SANADA was the fifth longest G1 Climax match ever to render a decision. Kazuchika Okada needs a win to win the B block, a draw sends Jeff Cobb to the final.
Recent History – 2021 Singles
Kazuchika Okada’s 13 singles victories in 2021 are third-most in NJPW this year.
About half of Okada’s 6 hours, 27 minutes and 4 seconds of total match length has occurred during this year’s G1 (3:09:07).

Jeff Cobb’s 27 minute and 41 second victory over Kazuchika Okada at the MetLife Dome was the longest singles victory on record in Cobb’s career. Even if Cobb doesn’t win, if he can sustain for just 2 minutes and 19 seconds more to achieve a draw, he will win the B Block.
History in Budokan
Budokan Hall may be Kazuchika Okada’s kryptonite. It is rare to find a notable building in Japan that Kazuchika Okada has not won in, but he has wrestled two singles matches in Budokan Hall and neither has resulted in a victory.
In 2018, Kazuchika Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi went to a Time Limit Draw on the last night of A Block competition in G1 Climax 28.
In 2019, Kota Ibushi defeated Kazuchika Okada in 25:07 to win the A Block of G1 Climax 29.

In Jeff Cobb’s third G1 Climax tournament, he has matched the cumulative output of his first two tournaments combined (16 points)
Jeff Cobb’s 5 hours, 47 minutes and 48 seconds of Total G1 Climax match length is still the lowest among B Block competitors who are not making their G1 Climax debut.
