>>7999818>No additives, no garnish, just pure perfection of technique with simple but layered storytelling. Shibata/Okada and Suzuki/Iishi are the two matches I started my NJPW rabbit hole dive on. I think Shibata is my favorite.Everytime I watch him, I love him more. His selling and the way he structures and paces matches is so masterful, I'd get invested if they were a mintue long and comprised of one exchange.
I'm introducing a friend to Shibata's via his 2010 return-run, slowly building to the Okada match. Will probably end up doing the Okada vs. Tanahashi feud and possibly Okada's record reign as well since those all overlap in one way or another. Expect webms of all that popping up over the coming weeks, depending on how much time I get with live events.
