What is the best finish or finishing stretch of a match?

Pretty much the entire Okada-Omega series and most of the Okada-Tanahashi series. Particularly the first time Okada refused to break wrist control after Tanahashi slapped him. The Misawa-Kobashi series also has some pretty unreal finishing stretches. The best has to be 6/9/95 though, being the greatest match of all time and everything  |

It has to be 01/20/97. Everything after the TD 91 was just perfect.

Got to be Omega/Okada 1 for me. It basically had a 10-minute finishing stretch that had me jumping out of my seat several times. It has also, for better and worse, influenced many matches since it happened.

I love love love the finish of Hansen/Tenryu vs Jumbo/Yatsu from the 89 tag league. Hansen hits a drop kick on Yatsu and calls for the lariat. Yatsu hits a dropkick. Hansen throws a lariat, Yatsu ducks and hits an enzugiri. Yatsu grabs a rear waistlock as Jumbo comes in for their Jumping Knee/German Suplex combo. Right as Jumbo hits the knee, Tenryu flies in and enzugiri's Yatsu. Hansen lariat. Ball game. The timing on the Jumbo Knee + Tenryu Enzugiri is brain melting. I rewound that shit over and over when I first saw it.
The Hokuto/Kandori DreamSlam Double Punch.
I watched Liger vs Sasuke from the Super J for the first time in god knows how long and it not only holds up as an absolutely outstanding match, I still think Sasuke botching the springboard is the best.
Austin/Hart remains one of the best.
Hansen/Kobashi 7/93 with the lariat of death.
Hogan vs Andre just for the slam.
