It's the end of a legendary era as Jushin "Thunder" Liger wrestles his final Best of the Super Juniors tournament match after over 20 years. Perhaps it's fitting that his final opponent is the obnoxious Taichi and the Suzuki-goons. I mean, what a bunch of dicks. Here is Liger, trying to celebrate his last night, and Suzuki-gun keep shitting on the party. The crowd wants nothing more than to see Liger shotei Taichi's stupid nose from his face but whenever he heats up, Taichi cuts him off. He's choking him with cords, plastic-backed chairs, even the time keeper's hammer. After Taichi starts unlacing the mask, there's an amazing visual of a dazed Liger tumbling from the top turnbuckle. When he finally hits the shotei, he's taken too much of a beating to capitalize and Taichi and his goons are able to continue the assault after Taichi takes out the referee. When he tries to restore order, Taichi shoves Liger into him and then Suzuki-gun really starting pissing on Liger's legacy, tearing his mask, cutting the liger mane, ripping open his outfit. Finally, Taguchi and KUSHIDA make the save and Liger fires on all cylinders, hitting a big shotei, whipping him with a powerbomb and finishing him off with a brainbuster in a span of about 30 seconds. Outmanned, Liger is able to get his revenge on Taichi with the Suzuki-gun storytelling really adding something to the match. Great stuff!
