Two of the best juniors in the world had one of the best junior matches of 2017. Minoru Tanaka at 45 can still move better than most guys in their 30's. Tanaka was great as the prick trying to take out Harada's arm early and Harada had a drawn out but really fun comeback. They played back to the armbar at the end as a convincing deathblow before the defending champion managed to putt out one last comeback. Even on the second watch I still got pumped up for the near falls. This was just great fun.
Harada won with a german suplex. It's really nice to see Noah matches actually feel hot again. Noah definitely picked the right champions to lead this resurgence.
