IWGP Heavyweight Title Match: Kazuchika Okada (c) (w/Gedo) vs. Naomichi Marufuji NJPW King Of Pro-Wrestling 2016 - 10/10/2016
I truly love this match. Phenomenal execution on strikes, counters and storytelling. Okada's selling is sublime as well. He makes Marufuji's hard chops one of the most dangerous moves in wrestling and makes a potential upset seem very, very possible. And that closing sequence really solidified its classic status with me as Okada hits an Emerald Flowsion to the ultimate Misawa protégé and hits a rainmaker to win. The ultimate big league move by the ace of the promotion. *****
