I wanted to recommend naito, as a regular follower of new japan has been great to see the influx of new talent that has come through over the years with naito been of a few that really have risen up to the top in such a short period of time, well reversed in style can mix up with submission, currently holding the new japan heavyweight championship and fully deserving, has taken the transformation from face to heel with a chip on his shoulder and made the role his own.

NOAH's biggest star ever is considered by Power Slam magazine and many others to be the greatest in ring performer of all time.Was the number three native in All Japan behind Mitsuhara Misawa and Toshiaki Kawada for the majority of the 1990s.Renowned for his orange ring attire and high moonsault finisher in his All Japan days.Left All Japan for new league Pro Wrestling NOAH in June of 2000.His high impact offence and punishing ring style left him with severely damaged knees.(each required 9 ssperate operations in 2001).His two year reign as GHC champion from 01/03/2003 to 05/03/2005 was on of the greatest reigns in pro wrestling history.Also survived kidney cancer

I think it speaks volumes that a lot of what we consider match or matches of the year are now coming outside of the juggernaut that is WWE, hopeful the year can continue to produce more of the same, and from what I have seen lately from NJPW its only getting better.

Yeah,if the top brass in WWE booked their best workers correctly instead of just constantly pushing muscle freaks it could be a different story.As you rightly say, the best matches in terms of pure quality are taking place elsewhere.
Making his debut in 2008, he has gone on to wrestle across the globe, mainly contributing to his current promotion ROH he has also taken the record of longest reigning champion in PWGs title history, making several match of year candidates and helped build the current brand on the independent scene he has gone a long way to proving to people that the big time is only a matter of when and not if, joining up to be the latest member of NJPWs global hit faction bullet club adds to his credibility.
