15 Amazing Pro Wrestling NOAH Matches You Must See Before You Die

14. KENTA Vs. Yuji Nagata - December 7th, 2013

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x18kkr1_kenta-vs-yuji-nagata-noah-12-7-13_sport One year before he made his WWE debut, KENTA was the biggest draw in Pro Wrestling NOAH, carrying its World Championship and defending it against all challengers. One of those was the dangerous Yuji Nagata, whose kicks rivalled KENTA€™s own in terms of power, and whose submission holds were second to none. There is a long history between these two. KENTA has always suffered from a €˜small man€™s complex€™, and made up for it by hitting everyone as hard as possible. One of the people who really didn€™t like that was Yuji Nagata, who thought that KENTA was trying to stir up trouble intentionally. So what do you get when these two face off? A storm of stiffness, anger, and dramatic storytelling that bordered on legit shoot fighting. This was one of the most entertaining matches in NOAH€™s history. KENTA kept getting in Nagata€™s face, acting like the s***-starter who didn€™t respect anyone, while Nagata kept no-selling KENTA€™s offense with a hysterical expression on his face that looked like he was saying, €˜I€™m going to beat the crap out of you, you little s**t.€™ This match brought out the best out of both men KENTA was still in the prime of his career, while Nagata was still capable of putting on stellar matches, even as he crept into his mid-40s. If you€™re wondering why WWE signed KENTA when they did, it€™s because he proved in matches like this one, that he had the potential to carry an entire promotion on his shoulders and deliver great matches against virtually anyone.
