Today I watched the Tetsuya Naito vs Kenny Omega match from the G1 Climax 2016 B Block Final. This is one of the first big matches Kenny had in his run as Best Bout Machine. I believe he performed well in this spot. The chemistry these two have together is something special
Early on Omega hurts his knee and Naito goes right after it with a dropkick #NJPW
Omega gets back in and hits a brainbuster on the bad knee and it hurts him too #NJPW
Omega is unable to spring into the moonsault because of his knee. He takes too long and Naito again hits a dropkick to the knee #NJPW

This match was awesome for many reasons. I loved the way Omega sold his leg The finishing stretch of big moves and counters was just like all the main NJPW match endings which is still awesome. I might rewatch the others to see which is my favorite of the 3
