Not sure if this topped SHO's match with Shingo, but it got damn close. The narrative was similar but instead of SHO stepping up to his perceived rival, he was stepping up to the champion. Really dug the armwork and how that affected both men's stamina and offense the longer the match went on. You really got the impression they were running on fumes as 30 minutes got closer and closer. Lots of hard-hitting offense and worked at a much brisker pace than the typical NJPW main event style.

A must-watch. ****3/4
