5. Samoa Joe Vs Jushin Thunder Liger - BFG 2005
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x93rUW8OUsY The opening contest of the first ever Bound for Glory event saw a dream match as Japanese legend Jushin Thunder Liger debuted in TNA to take on the red hot undefeated Samoa Joe. Liger wowed fans with a flying cross body and frog splash. Who else but the masked sensation could get a pop off of such basic dives? Joe more than looked like an equal to the Japanese superstar, as Liger showed Joe's offense plenty of respect and went down clean to the muscle buster, rear naked choke combo. Also worth watching are the entrances. Liger enters to his iconic anime theme tune to a standing ovation and ceremonial streamers, whereas Joe showed some rare personality by performing a Polynesian war dance with a team of dancers and musicians to kick off the event in the most spectacular way possible.

I may have a problem!
But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
