This was miles better than their G1 Climax 24 encounter but that one was also a banger. What really makes this one unique is the finish, which is Nakamura forcing Okada to tap out. He still remains the only guy to make Okada tap out as the rainmaker.

I was there! This was my first live attendance for an NJPW event
One of my favourite finishes to a match. What a counter.
A match that showed that as good as the Rainmaker was at the time, he still had a little ways to go before he became the top dog in the company; also the last time that Okada was made to tap out.
Fun fact: this was the last time Okada has ever tapped out
One of my favorite matches ever and one of the most underrated matches ever
