HM: Takashi Iizuka, Minoru Suzuki & Taichi vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Kazuchika Okada and Toru Yano - NJPW Takashi Iizuka Retirement Match - 2/21

Seriously, a match predominantly focused around Iizuka and Tenzan was good! Full of great callbacks to Iizuka's career and interactions, everybody was in on the joke (including the crowd and commentators) but took it seriously and produced a match that was just plain fun and about the best way a wrestler like Iizuka could ever hope to go out.

Honestly? Everything on the show was at worst fun and totally worth a watch. Not HM mention calibre but seeing Kojima make Suzuki's chest bleed from chops? I'd say that's worth a watch. (It was probably just a scratch but the idea is cool)
i thought ishii/tacos vs nagata/toa was a really good little undercard match as well
