2216666, Some of my favorite matches as of late:

Gedo vs. Prince Devitt for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship. Devitt has formed a foreign heel stable called The Bullet Club, and beat Tanahashi to become the #1 contender to Okada's championship. However, before Okada gives him the title shot he talks Devitt into giving Gedo, a once-heralded Jr. Heavyweight who's now Okada's manager of sorts, a title shot. Gedo was supposed to have no chance but this match is one of the most fun matches I've seen in a good while. Japanese frowns on a lot of outside interference but they made it The Bullet Club's trademark in almost all of Devitt's matches and you've never seen it like this at the end:

Kazuchika Okada vs Karl Anderson. This is from last year. Okada lost the title to Tanahashi last June. Okada now has to win the 2012 G-1 Climax to secure the rematch with Tanahashi. This is the Finals.

Prince Devitt vs. Lo Ki vs. Kota Ibushi - IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship. This is from Wrestle Kingdom VII in January. Devitt's the defending champion (he was a face then), and he had beaten Ibushi (who is probably the best Jr. Heavyweight in the world right now) earlier in the year. You'll get a kick out of Lo Ki's outfit.

This one, I found, had actual English commentary. I don't know if it helps or hurts.
