Awesome match! Both men wrestled a great match. Lots of credit to Okada who suffered from an illness and came back to perform well against Takagi.
Shingo Takagi deserve a lot of credit. During this year of 2021, Shingo had a great matches with Jeff Cobb at Wrestle Kingdom, with Hiroshi Tanahashi at New Beginning, and with Will Ospreay during the New Japan Cup Finals. This was just in the first half of the year. Also, with all the injuries and illness which befell upon the wrestlers and staff of New Japan, Shingo remained healthy and a consistent performer for the company. As far as I am concerned, Shingo Takagi already earned "Wrestler of the Year" for 2021.
