Just under years after debut the best Okada gets his first title shot he has also gone blond for this and has his own entrance music.
This was everything I wanted it to be, fast furious really stiff and plenty of fire from the best Okada.
They really went for each other with some great brawling started with a nasty fall through the ropes for both men and an Seoi nage on the floor that was just nasty. The best Okada took some nasty bumps in this such as the fall through the ropes and aforementioned Seoi nage as well as just being splattered on a lariat. I did think they overdid it with the lariats from the best Okada where he hit three in a row for successive 2 counts.
Really good match I hope Koji keeps this going through a long title reign ***3/4
