8.       New Japan Cup 2015 – FINAL: Kota Ibushi vs. Hirooki Goto

***1/2

Fun show, easy to sit through. There were no MOTYCs, though, and there was “only” one great match, but literally everything was good except Makabe/Goto. The BC/Chaos 8-man tag was great, the match of the night, full of twists and turns. Shibata and Honma are literally a perfect tag team. The Cup matches didn’t deliver the way it was expected and that’s why this show won’t be remembered as a must-see. But still, this was Kota’s night and a successful one.
