Featuring two of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s biggest stars, the G1 Climax 24 finale was considered very special as CHAOS stablemates Kazuchika Okada and Shinsuke Nakamura went into battle with each other for the very first time since 2012, and by the year 2014, this match was already billed as one of the biggest dream matches of all time.
Nakamura and Okada were two of the biggest heads of NJPW and their CHAOS faction and their match at the 2014 G1 Finals seemingly decided who the ‘Alpha Male’, is between the two Japanese sensations.
By the end of an eventful evening at the Seibu Dome, it was ‘The Rainmaker’ who stood tall over ‘The King of Strong Style’ after unleashing three Rainmakers on the latter to win the prestigious G1 Climax tournament.
