Kazuchika Okada vs. Minoru Suzuki (NJPW - 8/8/2017)
Perhaps the best match between these two (either that or the Royal Quest match). Okada is coming off his first loss in the 2017 G1 and nursing a neck injury while Suzuki has already been eliminated but is still incredibly dangerous and looking for a big win. There's a bit of shenanigans at the beginning with Okada dealing with Suzuki-Gun, but once they're ejected this turns into a war. Suzuki relentlessly targets the neck while Okada does his damndest to fight valiantly. Suzuki eventually draws Okada into his fight which is basically a slap exchange and Okada, despite being beaten up for the better part of 30 minutes and with the clock ticking, will not back down and gives Suzuki almost as good as he gets. It's a truly thrilling finishing stretch with both guys beating the piss out of each other as time begins to run out.
Another terrific match for an all-time great year from Okada.
