Few days ago there was a discussion about iconic phrases said during matches, answers were the likes of Shawn in Flair’s retirement, Hashimoto in the G1 against Choshu, Choshu January 1986, Bubba ray to Taz etc and IMO, this moment is worth the mention:
The last struggle of Moriyama.

Hajime Moriyama vs Takeshi Ono (Fu-Ten 1/30/2011) 🤼
The return of Moriyama to the ring -after recovering from a broken jaw that kept him out for months- which happened to be his retirement! Takeshi Ono decided that night to give his opponent a proper send off, and by that I mean on a stretcher.

A near decade of a journey filled with emotions, sweetness and bitterness, ended with one of the greatest angles in the history of wrestling, and as we wrap up 2024, I’ll be here for a long time repeating the roll call with Naito. 🥹❤️

After a great year in 92 as a super rookie, Volk started 93 with a bang against an opponent who I don’t have much knowledge about but surely was skilled and made Volk dig deep.
Very underrated bout and one of RINGS best ones at that point imo.
