Yano injects some laughs into the G1 Climax

Night Two of the G1 Climax Tournament took a comedic turn as Yano Toru unleashed his “sneaky style” on an unsuspecting Hirooki Goto in their match.

Yano came out with some sort of official mascot. Not sure who they were, sorry.

Yano almost pins Goto in the first few seconds. The fight goes to the floor where Yano misses with a turnbuckle pad and is thrown into the ringside barricade. Yano heaves Goto into the barricades, rolls him under the ring along with the mascot to block him in.

Yano then disappears under the ring as well. The official begins his count. At the count of 16, Yano pops out from under the ring to beat the count. Goto emerges with the mascot’s head on his head. Unable to see, Goto bumbles around the ringside area stumbling into steel posts and rails.

Goto finally ditches the costume rolling back into the ring to beat the count. Goto charges at Yano. Yano ducks out of the way and Goto hits the exposed turnbuckle for a two count. Goto battles back with a clothesline off the ropes, a flying leg lariat and a bulldog for a two count. Goto gets slung into the exposed buckle again damaging his back. Yano attempts to punch Goto in the “lower abdomen”. Goto blocks it.

Goto traps Yano’s arms and head butts him again and again and again. A GTR pins Yano as Goto scores two points.
