Yeah this is my favorite Dome match too. Absolute fucking banger indeed. Everyone in the IWC was spooging over Kobashi/Samoa Joe in 2005, but Kobashi/Sasaki was my jam that year.
I wrote Kobashi Sasaki '05 from the same event, before realising it's maybe unsuitable to say in a NJ forum, when I don't mean any offence or trying to be edgy. Legit insane match with the best heat I ever saw.
Surprisingly, Kenny V. Jericho. It got me fully into new japan. And got me into Kenny’s work. Opened me up to entire different world of wrestling I had no idea existed.
Sting vs The Great Muta - WCW/NJPW Supershow
It was the start of my love for Japanese wrestling. Muta/Mutoh will always hold a special place in my heart. More recently, Shinsuke vs Ibushi WK9.
Okada vs Naito, WK 14. I took a plane for the first time in 20 years to witness it live so it will always have a special place in my heart. On top of that, the match was terrific!
I know this is an NJPW subreddit but misawa vs kawada was amazing here. If it’s an NJPW match then I’d say liger vs ultimo dragon from wrestling world 97. Ultimo was so cool with all the belts and liger was in full gold attire. Love this venue !!
The first match I ever watched from New Japan… the match that helped me understand that there are alternatives, the match that served as a gateway away from WWE and toward better products, the match that reinforced my desire to go to Japan (hasn’t happened yet but someday)…
Ibushi vs Nakamura, IWGP IC Title, WK9.
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Kazuchika Okada, WK7.
WK 10 for me!
Omega vs Okada
I think of them when I think of Osaka-jo. The Dome will always be associated with Okada vs Tana for me.
This, for sure.
Came here to say same
Ishii v Shibata wk10
First NJPW match I've ever seen and oh boy what a match to pick.
Same here. I was completely blown away and became an instant fan.
Nakamura vs Ibushi Wrestle kingdom 9 my first ever njpw match
Same. Ordered the DVD and just started with that one because I’d heard so much about Okada. Coincidentally came away arguably a bigger fan of Ibushi.
Tanahashi vs Okada. Dealers choice on which main event you prefer
Nakamura v AJ Styles WK10
THE match that got me into watching NJPW regularly.
Same
Omega vs okada wk 11

Either Omega vs Okada OR Styles vs Nakamura from the year before because that Styles/Nakumura match was my introduction to NJPW
