This is from New Japan Wrestling, and this match from May of 2016 showcases a new style of professional wrestling. Typically Japanese audiences prefer big men who perform tests of strength against each other, do a slow build to a big bump, and focus a lot on "defeating" the opponent. This particular match of Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay takes a slightly different approach to the match where instead of having the pretext of this is real the match is more about athletic competence. There are many fans who don't like this match because they feel like it's just two guys showing off while others see it as the future of how professional wrestling should be presented. What do you think?

no doubt that they really hurt each other at certain points, but this is the most choreographed match ive ever seen.

Man these guys earn their money. That was 20 minutes of going hard.

But Roman Reigns is the big dog though. One Superman punch to these two equals double stretcher job
