Why I Love Wrestling: Match of the Year contender 004

New Japan puts on their biggest show of the year, Wrestle Kingdom, in January. This year, Wrestle Kingdom 9, was a huge step forward for NJPW. In addition to have some truly incredible matches on the card, it was simulcast in America with English commentary.  Jim Ross and Matt Striker called the card live in Japan. And the excitement Jim Ross displays during his commentary is infectious. His hype levels were perhaps no greater than during the Shinsuke Nakamura and Kota Ibushi match. It was an absolutely incredible match and a strong contender for match of the year. Check it out below and let me know what you think. Follow me on twitter and instagram @geekadedan.

Dan Ryan

Dan Ryan was once the most feared and respected luchador in the world until the "Great DDT Disaster of '85" where Dan unfortunately DDT'd his opponent so hard into the ground that he opened a gate to the underworld that let unholy things into this world. After that, Dan refused to wrestle anymore but he's found new life writing and talking about his favorite hobbies here at Geekade. He pens the weekly Why I Love Wrestling series, co-hosts The Stone Age Gamer Podcast, expertly pairs video games with beer, and much, much more. Dan is a personality that Geekade simply would not be the same without.
