This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Thank you J-Ru!

I’m curious how this would have worked if we could vote for tag teams as one unit. I know I would have put several in my top 10.

It is too perfect that Ishii got the most number 1 votes and yet still lost to Okada. Such as it ever will be for 141 Tough and Hard, held down because he is too perfect.

Check out his match with Shingo Takagi on 8/8 of this year and with Kenny Omega in last year's G1 on 8/4.

Meltzer gave his match with Omega from last year's G1 *****1/2 so that'd be a good start.
There's also vs Okada from the 2016 G1. Shibata vs Ishii from 2013's G1 is great. Match with Moxley from this year's G1 is a blast. Ditto the match with Shingo.

Actually you can't really go wrong with most Ishii G1 matches since 2013. He's so consistent. Outside of the G1, him and Omega had some great matches like at Destruction last year. There's a surprisingly amazing match against Tomoaki Honma from the 2015 New Beginning tour. Match with Kota Ibushi from May 2014, forget the show name

For something a little different I'd recommend his match with tag partner Toru Yano from last year's G1 as well. The gimmick at the time was Yano was going to wrestle "straight", drop his bullshit.

I like to think it's legitimately a case of Taichi refusing to be known as "Ishii's worst match," then suddenly realizing he liked having good matches and kept doing it with everyone else.

beautiful top 20, thank you forever J-Ru. Idk why I was surprised that Okada was number one hahaha. For some reason I almost expected Jericho or Omega to top out. But Okada is the right choice and holy gently caress I didn't know he was only 31.
