Chris Jericho's NJPW debut was one of the most anticipated events of the wrestling year, and Y2J certainly didn't let us down.

Jericho, who credits DDP's Yoga program for his continued excellence in the ring, rewound the clock about 15 years, bringing a surprisingly aggressive in-ring style to the match, and earning himself his first ever 5 star rated match from the Wrestling Observer.

The match stole the show at Wrestle Kingdom, NJPW's biggest event of the year, even surpassing the much anticipated main-event match between Kazichuka Okada and Tetsuya Naito.

Jericho has continued to impress in NJPW throughout 2018, putting on excellent matches against Naito and EVIL as well.
