This Okada run is like the Lethal in ROH. He's beat everybody now so it's just dragging out for the sake of dragging out. If you weren't going with Omega or Naito when they reached their hottest, who the fukk are you going to really go with when he does lose?

Jericho vs Omega was fine. Felt like it would have been better if it was a little bit shorter.

Jr. title 4 way was really fun, Suzuki was awesome, Ibushi & Cody was good (outside of Cody overdoing shyt), & the Young Bucks match was pretty good. Still haven't watched Tana vs White.

Idk man... Naito is fukking OVER. I havent heard a pop like that in the Dome in a long time. Maybe its because i watched this for 5.5 hours straight, but i didnt like Omega/Jericho as much as others. It was fine but idk seemed like a very WWE style of spot and rest type of match.

Okada winning though... man fukk Gedo. I dont even have the words

Yeah, neither match was a MOTYC imo, even if I thought they were they wouldn't have held up (unless 2018 ends up being the WOAT year or something).

I still liked them though, Jericho vs Omega was very hit or miss but I really liked Jericho in it so I was interested throughout, very disappointed in Kenny to be honest, very lackluster performance and it kinda exposed him as a guy who can only have 1 type of match (well, two counting comedy).

Main event was pretty fun I thought watching live. The lack of selling in the first 3/4 prevented me from thinking it was great though. As much as I liked what they were going for, it never felt they were hurting each other until Okada hit the first Rainmaker. After that it was a dope final sequence as always. The ending is the most baffling thing I've ever seen in puro since I've started following it "live" :francis:

I know folks wasn't really feeling Tana/White but man, this feels more of a sleeper hit this year. The storytelling in this match drawing me in something crazy. Sure Jay's gimmick is meh, but dude was really working the Ace:dame:.Along with Tana being in pain and just going out of character at times, match felt like a OG trying to spar with the youngin in a backyard.

Yeah i actually expected Jericho to phone it in but he really brought it. Him calling a fan "fukkface" at the beginning of the match made me spit coke all over my couch :laugh:

Omega was just kinda there which surpised me looks like he might be getting bored :yeshrug:

Yeah the main event result left me fukking dumbfounded. Dude legit has no challengers left.

Some other things i noticed:

- Goto got the shyt kicked out of him. NEVER title matches seem to always be amongst my favorites for some reason.

- You know how entertained i am by Evil's fukkery (that scythe :russ:) but Sanada is an ace in the making imo. I really enjoyed him working as a face vs monster heels in KES. Ill be looking out for him this year around G1 time.

- I dont see it yet with Roppangi 3k.

- Kitamura not winning the rumble really pissed me off somehow :laugh:

- Cody and Kota was awesome and easily the best match ive seen Cody in since he left WWE. Motivated Kota is an awesome thing to see and i really forgot how much fun he can be. Cody being an impossible douchebag with Brandi playing along is fun to watch too. That Cross Rhodes from the apron though :picard:

- I fukking hate Cheeseburger and this will never change. Its reached Corey Graves hating Enzo levels for me:beli:

- Didnt know Kakihara had cancer...

- Why is Chaos still a thing?:patrice:
