(Apologies for posting my nominations in the wrong part of the forum!)
I'm probably going to be the only person that has this match high on their ballot, but I love this match. This was the first ever puro match that I watched and I have a lot of nostalgia for this, but I've rewatched it twice in the last year or so and I'd say it holds up as a classic in my eyes. This is the perfect Dome match. From the larger than life entrances to, the emphasis on hardcore wrestling and the special moments like Liger getting his mask ripped off, this was New Japan doing sports entertainment and it pays off supremely well. I can't name a better you a better performance from Mutoh as Muta either. He gets frustrated that Liger has got his number and he's a treat to watch.
