109. Kenny Omega (c) vs Chris Jericho (No DQ Match for the IWGP US Championship, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 12)

As soon as a famous wrestler leaves one promotion for another, it opens up a plethora of dream matches. When Chris Jericho left WWE in 2017, his first port of call was NJPW. His first opponent? Kenny Omega. A dream match, to be sure. But how would Jericho fit in to NJPW’s style? Omega strained the NJPW style to its limits, so to wouldn’t be a total clash of styles.

108. Chris Jericho (c) vs Tetsuo Naito (No DQ Match for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13)

Chris Jericho has wrestled in almost every wrestling promotion in his thirty-plus years of wrestling. After he left WWE in 2017, he had a short period wrestling for NJPW. His most famous bout there was against Kenny Omega (I will be watching and reviewing that soon!), but a year later at Wrestle Kingdom 13 he fought Tetsuo Naito in a No Disqualification match. No DQ matches are a rarity in NJPW, from what I can gather, so this one instantly caught my eye. Was it worth the watch?

20. Jeff Hardy (c) vs Edge (No DQ Match for the WWE Championship, Royal Rumble 2009)

In late 2008/early 2009, the WWE Championship swapped hands between the trio of HHH, Edge and Jeff Hardy. All three were at the top of their game, producing some very good/great bouts. But when I think of a singles match between Jeff and Edge, I think of their awesome Ladder match at Extreme Rules 2009 (for the WWE Championship). I’d forgotten about this No DQ match, because, well, it is rather forgettable…
