Kazuchika Okada To Challenge For IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Next Month
NJPW sent out the following:
Wrestle Grand Slam in Tokyo Dome on May 29 will get a huge main event, as Kazuchika Okada will challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against either current champion Will Ospreay or his Wrestle Dontaku opponent Shingo Takagi. );
On April 4 in Ryogoku Sumo Hall, Ospreay shockingly defeated Kota Ibushi to lift the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, and wasted no time in issuing a challenge of his own. Stating that he needed revenge for his defeat on January 4 this year at the Tokyo Dome, Ospreay demanded a rematch, this time with the gold on the line.
The difference between an average WrestleMania match and a
great WrestleMania match is pretty severe, and you start to feel that here. The matches ranging from 100-51 on this greatest of all-time list are all inherently solid, and begin to verge on truly great as the numbers get smaller. Every match in this chunk is something you could show a non-wrestling fan in an attempt to get them to understand the mystique of WrestleMania and it would translate (well, maybe not a certain Bray Wyatt/John Cena experiment from last year, but more on that in a bit).
The real sparks start to flare as we break into the top 100, inching enticingly closer to the best of the best. Let’s get into it.
