Dragon Lee vs. Kamaitachi (NJPW, 01/24/16)

These two didn't stop. I mean, they did when Kamaitachi was working the leg but man, they didn't stop. Everything was crisp, the offense was innovative, which is hard to find in a world of constantly trying to out-do what's already been done. Kamaitachi's wrist-clutch dragon leg screws are a thing of beauty. Dragon Lee's bearhug Orange Crush and roll-through Regal Plex were awesome When they flew, they really flew. This is what I want my lucha to be, and granted, the legwork was borderline meh but it still played a decent role in the match and wasn't completely ignored. I'm sure these guys will be back for the BOSJ 2016, which will inject some much-needed vitality into the juniors scene, and who knows...maybe we'll see these guys face off again in the finals. We're still in January and already, New Japan is topping the lists.
