For those of you with access to AXS, set your DVR for 7 PM on Friday for KUSHIDA vs Kyle O'Reilly (from ROH) from the finals of the 2015 "Best of the Super Juniors" tournament in NJPW.  The entire show is that one match.  It was a brutal combination of MMA and Pro Wrestling, think Daniel Bryan vs Bryan Danielson.  The story-telling throughout the match was superb as well as each focused on hurting the other guy's left arm to set each other up for the double wrist-lock finisher.  It wasn't your typical high flying spot-fest, but rather more of an on-the mat, grind-it out affair.  Meltzer gave it 4 3/4 stars.

You can watch it on-line as well (but without the commentary by Jim Ross and Josh Barnett)
