Inspired by a match thread comment... what is the best of the series?
I watched these together not terribly long ago so I am not going to be able to bring myself to do it again soon. I came away liking all of the matches a little more than I did before the rewatch, but still favoring Dominion 18. It isn't an exciting take, but I think it builds off everything they had done up to that point well and the 2/3 falls allows the internal logic of the match to mirror their broader rivalry in an interesting way.

I'll do a proper recap/review of each match eventually, but yes I agree Dominion 2018 is the best. I've seen at least one person refer it to as kind of the culmination of the current NJPW style and it's definitely a very valid take. All 4 matches made my ballot and barring massive change they will all probably remain.

You guys are gonna make me watch the fourth match, the only ever match that actually gave me headache (like, literally)... Fine.
I'll watch them all this week. Then we'll talk.

I re-watched them all fairly recently and I'd go with Dominion 2018, WK11, Dominion 2017, G1 27 in that order. Having said that, I think WK11 suffers the most on re-watch. What was once a mind-blowing creative match has become more ordinary with a lot of the epics that we have seen in wrestling since then, though it's still an incredible match.
