Okada/Omega might be the GOAT trilogy :wow:

Only issue I had with the match was I couldn't see Okada winning so it took the drama away a little.

But it was arguably a more intense, brutal match than the other two.

Okada has to slow down though next year. Dude is gonna be completely broken down in by his early 30s if he carries on like this

I can't fukk with ZSJ when most of his matches still look like exhibition matches or training matches showing cats how to apply holds, but his tenure in NJPW is helping him tremendously into putting a psychology and purpose into his ring work that was sordidly needed and he would never have obtained if he had signed with the E.
This is what I wanted to happen with Marti Scurll but his cup of coffee in New Japan didn't seem to affect his 'taunt every time you do a move' ring tendencies.

ZSJ as part of a Euro Trash faction would be :ohlawd:. All vignettes to be shot in a greasy spoon cafe in East London. Would throw Cesaro and Tommy End in over Barrett and Ryan though. And Scurll as the mouthy guy who gets them into fights. Paige is just dying to unleash her inner chav too. She's been hiding it for years - that's why she's whylin now.
Why there isn't a Peaky Blinders faction yet is baffling to me.

The 30 min time limit helped to make this Omega-Okada match different than any of the others. Less was more.

I still think WK was better, but I have this over the 60 minute.

So if Omega loses in the final, he should still get a title match in September right :mjpls:

If Gedo books a 4th match it will probably be in October at Sumo Hall (King of Pro Wrestling show). That sounds like a horrible idea though, they can sell out that show without having to kill that matchup for good.
