Rewatched Tetsuya Naito vs Kazuchika Okada tonight from WK 14. It continues to be one of my favorite moments in watching New Japan. A moment where I felt truly fulfilled as a fan to see Naito’s final ascent. I had missed seeing him move in the ring at that absolute top speed that was countered so beautifully by Okada stopping El Ingobernable dead in his tracks. For my money, it is one of the best New Japan matches of all time. And, of course Naito would sour his own moment with the KENTA run in. He always needed a little more, I’m just sorry we didn’t get to see this one in the Dome again when Naito got his final roll call in 2024. Absolute classic match.
