Robbie Eagles is once again here for our next entry. The Sydney, Australia native really made the most of this Best of Super Juniors 27 tournament and repeatedly elevated every opponent that he stepped in the ring with. On Day 5, he went one-on-one with his former Bullet Club stablemate, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori.

The two men are reflections of each other. They both are speedy, technically-proficient competitors who can defeat their opposition in a variety of ways. The counters and sequences in this bout were truly enthralling and made the fans aware that these two knew each other extremely well.

The ebbs and flows of this encounter were great and had the crowd wondering who would win. It was Ishimori who pulled out the victory with the Bloody Cross. Ishimori's story in the tournament was that, as champion, he was being disrespected by the NJPW matchmakers for the Best of Super Juniors 27.

This battle with Robbie Eagles stands as the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion's best contest of the entire Best of Super Juniors 27 tournament. Eagles was more than a formidable challenge for Ishimori and delivered on a match that probably should have been the main event of this particular night.
