10 ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Moments From NJPW Dominion 6.9
1. Omega Man
Kenny Omega's capture of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the climax of Dominion 6.9 Osaka-jõ Hall triggered the type of rapturous celebrations intentionally saved for ocasions of such incredible magnitude.
Tears were shed, as were golden streamers from the sweat-soaked body of a gladiator. Omega - more ripped and chiseled than ever - was further shredded from the 64-minute war he'd just endured, but it had taken such physical and emotional sacrifice to dethrone Kazuchika Okada. 'The Rainmaker's iconic title reign had seemingly become too big to satisfyingly conclude - great wrestling streaks often struggle with this part of the story - but Gedo's immaculate booking and the exquisite execution of his plans by two futuristic warriors ensured both the match and show concluded as all-time greats.
WrestleMania X7 is considered by many the greatest professional wrestling pay-per-view of all time, though the diversity and dynamism that made the card so captivating is undeniably undone by its sandpaper-rough ending. Stone Cold Steve Austin's heel turn not resonating in front of his Texas homestead foreshadowed the manner in which it turned off supporters from the product as a whole.
Omega's win - a hero completing his impossible journey - represented a launch into even giddier stratospheres. This is not the end of an era, but the latest expedition of the company's next brave leaps into global wrestling dominance.
