NJPW G1 CLIMAX 27 – Tetsuya Naito VS Kenny Omega

20 comments

1. The athleticism in this match, after a full G1 tour, is pretty astonishing. This match is an all-timer and IMO the best mat of 2018. Just incredible agility, impact, intensity, and story.

   It’s unfortunate it gets lost in the subtext if the Okada/Omega series.

2. No wonder their bodies are so broken down these days.

3. That piledriver on the table is one of my favourite spots ever. Looks so brutal

4. great fast paced match from these two. The cardio and stamina these two have is just on another level

5. u/savevideo

6. And now you know why Kenny is the most broken man ever. And Naito’s probably on borrowed time himself. I’m 53, and I have my doubts that either of them will live to that age, or be completely crippled by then – which would probably be worse than dying, when you stop to think about it.

7. Omega was on another level

8. For me? It’s 2016
   Put Kenny on the map

9. I refuse to believe it’s already been 5 years since this classic

10. I love NJPW commentary when they get hyped for Naito

    Nothing like a big ol’ DESSSSSSSSTIIIIINOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

11. Take me back

12. That top rope powerbomb into hurricanrana blew my tiny mind when i first watched this match

13. One of my favorite matches. This is peak NJPW and why I love it.

14. I’m convinced Naito, Ibushi, & Omega hate their spinal cords.

15. Naito is my favorite New Japan wrestler. Some of the moves he pulls off are absolutely nuts. Would be good to see Omega putting on matches like this in AEW.

16. This looks absolutely bonkers

17. Best part of this show was shibatas return

18. i need more…that’s the comment

19. My favorite Omega match personally enjoyed this more then any of the Okada matches

20. Better than their G1 28 match the year after, not as good as the one they had the year prior
