[2018-08-01-NJPW-G1 Climax 28] Kota Ibushi vs Hirooki Goto

Liked this a lot more than their G1 match last year which was also really good. I know we can't and shouldn't get Ibushi going crazy in every match or else he would crash and burn by the end, but I was hoping for just a little bit more danger in this match. What we got was completely fine though as Ibushi and Goto showed they have some pretty great chemistry. I wouldn't mind a rematch in a few months with Ibushi challenging Goto for his NEVER title, ****1/4.

This was good but never quite clicked for me. They took a little while to get going and while the finishing stretch was good, I thought the action was rather underwhelming compared to their match last year.
