Takahashi vs. Kushida - Excellent submission work.  The crowd were super-super into Kushida ending it with a submission, which made it really dramatic.

Goto vs. Shibata.  Shibata is just such a badass.  Nobody plays that role better than him.  It's like he's just as fine taking punishment as giving it.  I love Goto, too, he's a fantastic brawler and he has some really unique offense.  I liked this match a lot.

Omega vs. Okada - Holy shit.  Quite possibly the 2017 match of the year.  If it happened last year, I would have easily named it MOTY for 2016.

Those freaking table spots were brutal.  That double stomp with the table on top of Okada was an awesome looking move and then the second one, bloody hell, I can't believe Omega got back up.  They need to get the cheap-ass tables the WWE uses instead of those steel reinforced beasts Japan favors.  Also, my god, that Dragon Suplex from the top rope.

The closing stretch was magic.  At least one girl in the audience was crying.  Both guys acted like they'd been in a war afterwards, with the winner falling to his knees after this arm was raised.  

Omega was so damn good.  He's strong, he's really quick, he bumps great, he sells great, and he has so many innovative moves in his bag of tricks.  I also love all the things he does as a heel, like spitting in Okada's face and then doing Okada's Rainmaker pose.  He's absolutely one of the best.
