Tomohiro Ishii may be one of the oldest wrestlers working for New Japan right now, but 2018 has been an exceptional year for the former NEVER Openweight Champion.

Ishii's hard-hitting style has not only helped him stay in great shape between the ropes, but it has also helped him develop a solid fanbase over the years. It was the contrast between that style and the high-flying technical approach of Kenny Omega that made this match just a sheer joy to watch.

Seeing these two wrestling pioneers go one on one late in the G1 tournament made for compelling viewing, and Ishii's eventual victory of the IGWP World Champion was one of the best moments of the entire tournament.
