MOTYC - Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega for the IWGP Heavyweight Title at Wrestle Kingdom 11

Not quite the ending I wanted, but the match built and built to an incredible final 10 minutes of escalating back and forth action and nearfalls I somehow completely bought into before an incredible finish. Maybe not quite up to last year's Tanahashi/Okada masterpiece but drat close.

This so hard. I liked it more than Tana/Okada from last year but that's probably because I watched that one with english commentary.

Edit: actually I change my mind the Jr. Title match had a few botches and the never match just wasn't on the level of the other two which were out of this world.

I'll just chime in with this. Back in the late nineties/early 00's I was pretty into tape trading and keeping up with NJPW, AJPW, AJW, ARISON, and other promotions in Japan. Then I got into WWE again and let my love of Japanese wrestling slide.

Fifteen years later, Omega vs Okada rekindled my love of Puro. So MOTYC all day every day for this.
