[2017-05-22-NJPW-Best of the Super Juniors] BUSHI vs KUSHIDA

[bradhindsight]

These guys just know how to work each other and I liked this more than any of their title matches from '16 that I have seen. They both work in dropkicks on seated opponents outside. BUSHI hits a draping snap DDT off the ropes to the apron in some good early targeted neck work. He has a great corner dive through the ropes here also. KUSHIDA's arm stuff seems to be wilting, BUSHI sits in it for some time here. It does feel like the crowd is dampening a bit on KUSHIDA, he's been on a losing streak going into this, but we get a great story here and a new finisher (small package driver / god's last gift - I saw him use this in December on ospreay actually) post submission to put BUSHI away. A worthy main event and one of the best matches of the BOSJ so far ****
