NAITOOOOO run that reign back

I'm glad he won but that main event was sloppy, and we got more bullshyt from EVIL at the end,


Also Okada vs Danielson is everything their first match wasn't, the crowd made this match amazing, reacting to the stiff shots, the arm submissions, the big stadium, this is where the match needed to be

Saw the final minutes of Naito vs Sanada and it's pretty awesome how over Naito still is :wow:

EVIL coming out was all I needed to watch though :scust: :camby: they really don't want me back as a fan.

And both Tsuji and Umino being pinned :why:

Gedo :pacspit:

It was good, but not great. Really coulda used 5 more minutes and it probably woulda been great.
It's like they stopped themselves from having a classic.

They weirdly rushed to the ending when they were having a perfect pace for the story they were telling. They could've done all those reversals and "quick" ending with a slower comeback from Okada. Maybe even working a "broken arm" spot to give maximum drama. Like y'all said, it's not that it was bad ending but the match could've been a classic with a more methodical approach for the ending. Which surprises me because the uniqueness of Okada's matches is how he structures and executes amazing finishing sequences.

Still, it was a dope match to me. They at least showed what they could do with a story instead of the weird "your turn my turn" clunker they had at Forbidden Door.

I thought BD was gonna kick out of the Rainmaker. shyt had me :dwillhuh:

It was slow at first, but had the storytelling. I was expecting a 30 minute match with the pace it was going. The second half was great tho.
