Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Kenoh (NOAH - 10/3/2021)

One of the MOTY contenders for 2021. This was the N1 Final for 2021 and it felt like a really good 80s NJPW main event at times. By that I mean we got one of t basic goods of a professional wrestling match - two violent men hitting each other hard. You really don't need more than that to work from. With Kenoh and Nakajima, they were able to build from that quite nicely and gave us quite a emotional match with high stakes involved. As you would guess from now, this was quite stiff, and you pretty much felt it the whole way. Nakajima in 2021 was really quite ferocious, and was able to put together some great matches around beating the sh*t out of other people. Kenoh went blow-for-blow with him though, and the result was one of my favorite NOAH matches in the past few years. Really good stuff. ****3/4
