From what I've been reading on my TL on Twitter about this show, this has to be the best Wrestle Kingdom yet! I'll definitely be sure to watch the replay. This PPV spectacle features 6 title matches, 4 title changes and the IWGP Intercontinental Championship match in the main event when the legendary Hiroshi Tanahashi takes on the defending champion, Shinsuke Nakamura.
