2025-06-06 00:55:52 +0000 UTCOh, I forgot to add. There's one point in the match when Naito tries to do a flip around Omega's arm, Kenny interrupts him before he finishes, and you asked what that was. That's Naito's finisher "Destino", which is a pretty cool flip into a reverse DDT. I believe the technical term for the move should be "half nelson somersault reverse DDT", but that's too nerdy. Even for me.

2025-06-05 22:59:42 +0000 UTCNaito would start out as a tag team with current rat Yujiro Takahashi called No Limit, winning some belts. He'd then decide to break out in singles co peting in his first of 15 g1 climaxes. After losing a lot of wrestle kingdom matches, he finally decided he needed a change and going down to Mexico did it. In 2015, he formed LIJ as a heel. Alongside guys like EVIL, BUSHI,and SANADA. He would finally won the big one a year later. His finisher is the Destino shown at 27:45 and on his trunks. As for now, LIJ are no more with injuries piling up for him, he Left the company along with BUSHI while most of the other members joined diff factions

2025-06-05 22:28:35 +0000 UTCThis would be the 3rd G1 climax that would start getting 5 star matches with KO grabbing a lot of them along with Naito. And yes their G1 27 rematch is a banger as well! Shocking that u didn't see Naitos 2 Forbidden door matches, although they weren't that great. And you could hear that rat Rocky Romero on CC. Similar to the Continental classic, the G1 would be paired up in 2 blocks. But instead of 12 guys, u got 20 here. 2 points for a W instead of 3. 30min time limits instead of 20. No junior heavyweights obviously although being kennys 1st G1, he had to make the weight being a former junior champ. The winner of the following match between him and Goto (who is the current champ) would go on to face the champ (who also competed in this) at the next wrestle kingdom!

2025-06-05 22:14:20 +0000 UTCNaito is indeed a sicko. He has a match against Ibushi at Dominion in 2019 that has some of the gnarliest head/neck bumps I've ever seen. Now, about this match, it's absolutely amazing, and the best part is that it's probably their worst. Like, the match is fantastic, 5 stars and all that, but I think their 3rd is just better, and their 2nd is in my top 10 favorite matches of all time. So, yeah, it does somehow get better.
