I really didn't enjoy Tanahashi / Suzuki like a lot of others did. Which suprised me. I thing NJPW is the best promotion going right now. Tanahashi is brilliance. And Suzuki is REAL strong style, not some impersonation. So given the great reviews, I sat down ready to be blown away. And I really wasn't ...

The start was too slow for me. The middle sequences were drawn out up until Minori almost ripped off Tanahashi's arm in a very believable cross arm-breaker. And by the time they got outside the ring, I was kind of underwhelmed. Great finish, but just not as great of a match as others think ... in my opinion.

[187_Joeism]

Yeah i agree even if i am not as high with Okada as the rest of the people are, NJPW is the promotion hands down they only need to improve more their junior division and now they seem to start doing it.

[syxxpakk]

For me, the top 3 so far this year is Davey Richards vs. Michael Elgin, Triple H vs. Undertaker, and Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode.
