John Pollock and Wai Ting review NJPW Dominion 2018 featuring Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega in a 2/3 Falls Match for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
They discuss the final chapter of the Okada-Omega rivalry in a match considered by many to be the greatest of all time, the culmination of Okada’s 2-year championship reign, and the changing landscape of New Japan in 2018 — 6 months before the formation of AEW and The Elite’s departure.
Plus, a look at other top matches on the card including Naito vs. Jericho, Young Bucks vs. EVIL & SANADA, Ospreay vs. Takahashi, and a multi-man match involving Rey Mysterio, Cody and Jushin “Thunder” Liger.
John takes us through news and notes from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter in June 2018 featuring headlines about CM Punk, ROH running Madison Square Garden, and Dominik Mysterio.
