Wrestle Kingdom 15 will forever be defined by the performance of Kota Ibushi.
Ibushi put on a breathtaking display on back-to-back nights, defeating Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP heavyweight and intercontinental titles Monday in the Tokyo Dome, then returning the night next to successfully defend the double gold against (Switchblade) Jay White in a 48-minute main-event thriller.
There was no shortage of highlights during the two-night affair, which provided wrestling with a tremendous boost entering the new year. Sanada wrestled the best match of his career in a victory against Evil, while Hiromu Takahashi also delivered consecutive magical nights in wins against El Phantasmo and Taiji Ishimori.
