#1- Kenny Omega vs Tomohiro Ishii

Who could deliver a match even better than the finals? The Best Bout Machine of course!
On every Match-of-the-year list, there has to be an Omega-Ishii encounter. That's how good their in-ring chemistry is! This year's encounter, like many before, was a violent, engaging encounter that proves the worth of both men involved.
Ishii always proves his amazing skill at the G1 but always ends up short someway or another. He has a mixed record with Omega, both having wins and losses against each other but this time, surprisingly, the stone pitbull came through to become the victor.
This was the first loss for Omega in this year's tournament which eventually led to his collapse in the end against Yano and Ibushi, thereby ruling him out of the finals.
This match had everything, mocking slaps on the head, stiff strikes and one-count kick outs at the perfect moment. This effort of Ishii has led to him becoming the next challenger to the newly crowned IWGP Champion and we can't wait to see them fight again!
So, that's it for the list, what other matches did you like?
