Thoughts on the G1 participants?

Now we know the participants and those in the play-in’s, what do we think?

It’s very likely we’ll see Yuto Ice and OSKAR in, and I think both will help freshen up the blocks.

Goto, having missed last year, can have an interesting tournament.

I’m overwhelmingly disappointed that the AEW rep
is Gabe Kidd (I know Takeshita is in too, but he’s part-time NJPW)

Kidd may be technically AEW, but he’s constantly in NJPW like the kid who graduated high school but still hangs around outside. Also, Kidd is just a guy in a midcard trio in AEW. Sure, he won the Trios Titles there, but they like switched those titles 4 times in 3 weeks.

I would have loved Andrade but AEW seems to have big plans for him, and won’t give him up for a month.
