    I miss the constant wrestling that the g1 provided. I'm sorry NJPW for complaining

    There is a ceiling for Juice's ability that I thought he completely transcended in this match. He doesn't have those flashy moves (which he could do with one or to of) but his selling is elite and he knows how to get the crowd behind him with whatever he's doing. The story they told of Juice not wanting to attack the knee, only to go for it later was extremely well done, got lots of heat, and Kenny's ego despite the knee leading to him having to pull out all the stops for the win led to one of the better in-ring stories of the year. Sick near falls, perfectly paced which is par the course for Omega, and it showed Juice can have those big time, main event matches when he's called on. He's only going to get better.

    edit

    4.5, easy. Not up with the best of the G1, but pretty d--- close.

    Going into the G1 I had very little desire to watch Juice wrestle but he was so impressive each and every step of the way. I'm glad to see such a good review

    Hard to believe we're getting three guaranteed classics on this show and then Ibushi/Tanahashi at Power Struggle

    Surely KUSHIDA won't beat Ospreary again, he's like 6-0 against him

    doubt they surpass their super Jr match (one of the best matches EVER) but I expect it to be better than their last match

    I want the three way with Hiromu. He came out to interrupt their promo and he just got knocked the f--- out. Maybe at WK.

    The one at the WCPW tournament wasn't that outstanding...a 4 or 4 1/4 match it was kind of underwhelming compared to their previous one

    d--- so after months of going around saying WWE sent them C&D letters (when they really hadn’t), the Bucks actually got a real one today for the 2sweet gesture.

    I guess Trips was pissed about them showing up to Raw lol Can a company really have a trademark to a hand gesture? Matt Hardy has been doing the delete gesture when apparently Anthem/TNA owned the broken gimmick
