On today’s episode, we are looking at the career and the G1 Climax run of a wrestler who is well known for being in a promotion outside of New Japan. Some would even call him a NOAH legend in his own right. A multi-time GHC Heavyweight Champion and tag team champion. Has held every title in the promotion and beat Kenta Kobashi’s record for most successful defenses. He is the killing machine, Takashi Sugiura!

The G1 Climax is New Japan Pro Wrestling's elite summer tournament. Not everyone gets an opportunity to compete in the G1 Climax. Some wrestlers never appear, while some compete year in and year out. Every other week, host Ryan Neitzey will discuss the run of those wrestlers that have only competed in this exclusive tournament only once.
