Ugh he did some moves as well. I swear both dudes were performing to a tee. I'll check it out again just to be on the safe side. Trust I'm not too keen on Cody since his indy/NJPW run, but dude sort of redeemed himself at Dominion.

Cody has been at his best in ROH. I strongly recommend his bullrope match with Jay Lethal for those who haven't seen it yet.

Adrenaline breh. It makes sense. If you were in a fight you wouldnt always signal where youre hurt to your opponent especially if you were pumped up

I'm fine with an adrenaline rush being a part of the story. This was just the first 20 minutes of a match focusing on something that was ignored all together for the next 40 minutes. It served no real purpose other than to give them something to use to kill time since they were going 60. Even when it was part of the match Okada was still throwing dropkicks & diving over the rail.

I'll never stop being shocked at how weird the perception from the japanese is towards the US. From always thinking working in the States makes a wrestler an automatic big deal - no matter where or how much they worked there - to booking stuff like what we'll get in the L.A shows. That WWII inferiority complex can't still be an issue in 2017 for fukks sakes :damn:

Okada and Omega :whoo:

Yo the timing on that One Winged Angel rope spot was impeccable. As was a lot of the camerawork where Omega would get some offense going and Okada would cut him off with the dropkick. The front drop kick that sent Omega flying into the barricade was nasty. The fukking death valley driver on the apron was crazy. Both men's bumping was insane once again.

I loved Naito fighting in street clothes :pachaha: Too bad his reign came to an end :francis:

KUSHIDA and Takahashi was very good again. The booking is great. KUSHIDA is jobbed out in less than 2 minutes the first time. So then he has to go on a redeem tour and win the Super Juniors to get back in the title hunt

:wow: :wow:

Five star main event. The people complaining about filler know absolutely nothing about wrestling. The whole purpose to the start of that match is to establish layers. Okada is better than Omega but Omega won't give in is the story at the end but that's just as fitting at the start. All the chain wrestling had Okada coming out on top. Omega loses out almost everywhere. Okada cops an injury after his tope con hilo and Omega, instantly, is on it like the villain he is looking for an edge. Despite that, he still can't put Okada away and Okada like the god he is puts a fukking thrashing on him. They do the towel spot and the match kicks up another level with Omega refusing to die and Okada doing everything to kill him. This was so detailed and special and a truly epic story and match. You can take that filler talk the fukk outta here though.

@Jmare007 already said it but there's a difference between establishing layers and working the leg for 10-15 minutes until both wrestlers conveniently forget about and ignore it for the entirety of the rest of the match. If Omega working Okada's leg ever came back into play in the rest of the match it would've had a place, but as it played out story-wise that leg angle was nothing but padding of the 60 minute length.

And I don't mind the match going 60 minutes at all, because once the match entered the next phase of its storytelling it became truly great, but I can't give them a pass for reducing the leg angle to even less than an afterthought after it was the focus for the first quarter of the match.:yeshrug:

To compare, look how Naito vs Tanahashi from beginning to end was about them working each other's injuries the entire match and seeing who could endure it the most. That's how you do an injury angle.:ehh:
