Minoru Suzuki - I have never, and quite possibly will never, have as powerful a moment in wrestling as witness MiSu's entrance live at Royal Quest. It was an honour and a privilege.

I love how you can tell Suzuki is having the best time during this :3:

Of a top star. He has charisma but it's very much not the charisma of an Okada or Tanahashi and will always contribute to holding him back from the top of the card.

A moment so good it made me forget about the severe pain in my knee from a fall earlier in the evening.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

It's time to vote for the overall finals. Kazuchika Okada vs. Tomohiro Ishii.

In real life, Okada and Ishii have faced off four times. Okada won three of them.

8/8/13 - Okada won in the G1 in just 11:21. Okada entered with 6 points, Ishii with four. Neither would advance in the tournament, with Ishii finishing in last place.

8/7/15 - Okada won again in the G1, picking up a victory after 17:08. Both entered this match with 8 points. Okada ended up tying Shinsuke Nakamura for first place in Block B, though Nakamura advanced to the final via a head-to-head tiebreaker.

8/6/16 - Again in the G1, Ishii picked up his first win over Okada in 18:43. Ishii again finished near the bottom, but this win allowed Hirooki Goto to win this block.

3/23/19 - In their first singles meeting outside of the G1, Okada defeated Ishii in the semifinals of the New Japan Cup. Okada went on to defeat Sanada in the final.

Please make your choice for the Hulka of Matts. You have until next Sunday at 7 p.m. eastern to make your selection.

Tomohiro Ishii. Tanahashi vs Okada at Invasion Attack got me interested in New Japan, Shibata vs Ishii in the 2013 G1 made me fall in love with New Japan.

Kazuchika Okada

since he's better in every way than the other guy. That's the way it goes sometimes. I have great respect for Ishii but let's not turn this into a silly farce. This is pretty important. Don't vote for Tomohiro Ishii unless you want to bother me quite a bit.

I'm sorry to do this to you twice in one year, Ishii, but Okada is just on another level.

I love so much that it's come down to these two in yet another fan poll :hellyeah:
