1. This match ruled. Look at that crowd, amazing. Also, that rare screwdriver is 10/10.

2. 141 DRILLER TO ZSJ NEXT.

3. The magic of the Hall on full display.

4. I hope this is a portent for the rest of Ishii’s 2023. Choice.

5. Ahhh, the rare “Ishii Driller”, a.k.a. “Fuck Your Neck”

6. Man I loved this match

7. And Captain New Japan makes an appearance!

8. MISHI DRIVER!

9. Ah, the match and the G1 that put Ishii on the map.

   He only had two wins in this tournament (he had three but Goto had to sit out) but those 2 matches against 2 guys that were white hot at the time were star making performances.

10. 1- The posters of the wrestlers surrounding the arena look cool

    2- I started following NJPW in late 2017, yet I do not understand why Ishi did not win the heavyweight title

    3- The package piledriver is not my favorite piledriver anymore

11. Best worker of all time.

12. Ishii is the only man who can make a japanese crowd boo Tanahashi

13. 10/10

14. Put some respect on the Franken…. Steiner Screwdriver.

    Yes he stole all his moves from Japan, but he did it before it was cool 😀
