Chris Jericho eventually succumbed to a One Winged Angel on a chair inside the Tokyo Dome, and conventional wisdom suggests he will be staring up at the lights again after Naito hits him with a Destino. Will Chris Jericho ever win a match in NJPW?

The perfect opponent is waiting if that happens, and that perfect opponent also happens to be one of the best wrestlers on the entire planet. Tomohiro Ishii has been the most consistent performer in New Japan for years now, but his position as a main event gatekeeper is set in stone. If Jericho wants a fresh match with an incredibly talented opponent who loses nothing in defeat, Ishii is the man.

If you’re compiling a list of dream matches for any opponent, and the name ‘Tomohiro Ishii’ is absent, something is wrong. Jericho vs. Ishii would be an incredible match, with the only question mark hanging over whether or not Jericho could take the barrage of violence from the Stone Pitbull.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
