Onita vs chono 99 at the Tokyo dome.
Most of the Stan Hansen stuff is decent
Kenta Kobashi vs. Kensuke Sasaki
More recently nakamura’s run in like 2014-16 in new Japan was great. The stuff he did with ibushi in the g1 was fantastic.
Kenny omega’s cleaner run was great.
Nice thanks!
What about current Japanese wrestling? Do you watch nowadays? Is there anything good happening now? Any events/matches/wrestlers you'd recommend for contemporary Japanese pro wrestling?
Can't seem to find the onita chono match. Theres a video of the entrances which look great tho!
I’ll see if I can find it for you
I thought Kenny vs Gabe Kidd at WK this year was really good.
I haven’t been paying too much attention cause it seems like every promotion is in a rebuilding phase.
I really liked naito for the majority of his run between 2016-2019.
The g1 always has some banger matches.
As much as I thought AEW was going to help the American wrestling landscape it’s really hurt Japan. Mainly new Japan. As much as I’m sure NOAH and DDT have good wrestling the cinematography in NJPW unmatched.
Definitely watch the Kenny Omega v Kazuchica Okada quadrilogy. That’s some flair steamboat type storytelling.
Okada v tanahashi matches are another good place to start for more modern NJPW.
