100 Wrestling PPVs You Must See Before You Die

31. NJPW: New Beginning in Sendai, 2015

Mankind Undertaker King Of The Ring 1998
New Japan

Even though the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship wasn't on the line at this PPV, NJPW still managed to pull of an outstanding show that continued to showcase their dominance in the Japanese wrestling market.

Though virtually every match on this card is fantastic, the best one by far was Ishii vs. Honma for the NEVER Openweight Championship (their version of the NXT Championship).

Key matches: Tomohiro Ishii vs. Tomoaki Honma (NEVER Title); Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Yuji Nagata (IWGP IC Title)
