Another great NJPW match this time from the Tokyo Dome show in January 2013. (I'm using New Japan World)

Nakamura vs. Sakuraba for the IWGP Intercontinental Title

Great match, it wasn't all that long, but it is a totally different style from anything I've seen before. The match played itself off as an MMA match, with a ton of kicks and knees, and very little in terms of pro wrestling moves. Sakuraba actually knocks out Nakamura legit at one point with a knee to the face as Nakamura was shooting in for a takedown. He knew he screwed up there for sure.

So happy that I subscribed to this service, I'm down to watching WWE PPV only with my son, completely ignoring Raw and Smackdown for some time. NJPW is filling my need for pro wrestling and giving me a far better product than I've been watching for a long time.
