G1 Climax 31 Contest: Day 9 Results

Today marks the official half-way point of this year’s G1 Climax. Two key losses today have made for a log-jam in terms of the point leaders in the A-Block. All competitors in the A-Block are technically still alive but the distance between the top and the bottom is widening.
In the all-important POST Wrestling C-Block, only one participant got a perfect 5-for-5 score today to take sole possession of first place. Scroll down to see who!
