[2016-03-04-NJPW] Tetsuya Naito vs Tomohiro Ishii

[superkix]

Much more neat and concise than the 5/3 'spectacle' and is easily my favorite Nahito match of the year so far. He's the perfect weasel dick here here with that shit-eating grin of his, consistently cutting off and countering Ishii's attacks and building the anticipation for when Ishii finally gets his hands on him. The apron lariat spot was a super dramatic payback moment as the crowd explodes and Naito is slumped all dead-like on the apron. There's a few missteps and they fuck up the Destino counter spot toward the end but Ishii rectifies that by hitting a big Emerald Flowsion. The second half is a bit overkill but it was fun and exciting to watch, not a chore like the 5/3 match. Some big nearfalls leading to a strong finish for Naito. Good stuff.
