I agree with the OP. That was the match that really made me pay more attention to NJPW.



NJPW overall has given us numerous classics throughout this decade.

man, i was gonna hype a lucha underground match, but we gotta be honest, punk and cena in chicago was THE defining match of the decade

punk had people believing it's still real to them, damn it

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

[Bryan Danielson]

Killshot vs AR Fox

[Novembruh]

Dunno if it's my favorite of the decade, but I know it's one of my favorite off the top of my head - Zayn/Cesaro 2-out-of-3 falls. That kickout at one was a fukking moment. That was real wrestling storytelling, where even on mute, the sheer defiance in that one thing was palpable. It was the most non-verbal 'No! fukk that and fukk you!' I've ever seen in a match without needing to outright flip someone off.
