Anyone seen Nakamura vs Tenzan from last year's G1 Climax? I saw it on a Best of Puro 2011 poll over at Puroresu.tv (Bigbuxxx, get your ass over there now!) and I thought it was decent enough until Tenzan gets the Anaconda Vice locked in. The crowd lose their shit and the energy in that arena is absolutely electric. Four star match for the last five minutes. ****

^^ Great match, probably second favorite of the tourny behind Naka/Suzuki. The crowd was on fire for the Tenzen match though and it's the match that really got me in to Nakamura.

Wasn't as high on Naka/Suzuki as you. Similar structure to the Tenzan match. Meh build-up, fantastic finish. If the build-up was better, I'd have it on the same level as Nakamura/Tenzan. The counter to MiSu's finisher was awesome. ***1/2

Yeah, good match, but not the best Nakamura had there. My top would be:

Vs Naito - Finals ****1/2
Vs Kojima - Day 2 ****1/2
Vs Suzuki - Final Day ****1/4
Vs Tenzan - Day 4 ****1/4

Nakamura was the heart and soul of the Climax.

I'm carrying on my Swagamura phase and I just checked out the G1 finals. One of the best matches of the year in my opinion. It drops the trend of Nakamura's matches starting of uninteresting and picking up in the last 5 or 10 minutes. It was great all the way through. Nakamura dominating Naito with his stiff knees in the beginning stages of the match was entertaining and keep me anticipating Naito's comeback. Naito fires up by taking out Nakamura's knees, which makes it harder for him to hit anymore Boma Ye's. I knew who won this before I saw it, but some of the nearfalls really sucked me into the match. Lots of drama in this action-packed classic. ****1/2

Great, when you see the Kojima match, you'll have watched every Nakamura great match this year.
