    The final match was better than Okada/Omega 3

    Just let that sink in

    Omega/Naito is the greatest match I've ever seen

    edit

    Now for the rest of this card...

    Break it down

    5

    Omega/Naito
    Omega/Okada III

    4.75

    Omega/Elgin
    Okada/Elgin
    Naito/Ibushi
    Ishii/Naito
    Tanahashi/Ishii

    4.5

    Omega/Suzuki
    Okada/Evil
    Okada/Suzuki
    Naito/Tanahashi

    4.25

    Goto/Ishii
    Suzuki/Sanada
    Ibushi/Ishii
    Okada/Sanada
    Goto/Tanahashi
    Tanahashi/Ibushi
    Evil/Omega
    ZSJ/Ishii
    Goto/Ibushi

    4

    ZSJ/Tanahashi
    Omega/Tonga
    Tanahashi/Nagata
    Goto/Nagata
    Goto/Makabe
    Makabe/Ibushi
    Okada/Kojima
    Fale/Ibushi
    Okada/Juice
    Omega/Kojima
    Okada/Tonga
    Sanada/Juice
    Naito/ZSJ
    Juice/Omega
    Omega/Sanada
    Fale/Nagata

    That's 36 4+ star matches. All the 4.5's and up are essential viewing, probably most of the 4.25's too.

    - Juice has gone from just a guy to a blossoming superstar
    - Evil has become a legit main eventer
    - Tanahashi and Ishii are the smartest workers in the business
    - Kojima and Nagata have to be two of the all time greats
    - Sanada is going to be a star
    - There's no ceiling for ZSJ
    - Nagata, Omega/Okada, Daryl, cracks in the bullet club, Juice's rise, Evil solidifying himself - all great stories along with the cumulative wear and tear playing into each match.
    - Elgin!!!

    This level of consistent match quality is unprecedented and it's done wonders for everyone in the company not named Yoshi-hashi and Tonga who are about at the same level as they were before. Just phenomenal from every angle.

    edit

    And for reference, a 4 is "great" to me. Translates to an 8/10.

    Thought Okada Omega III was their worst match....just watched it again and I'm sitting at the end like "f--- I have never seen a better wrestling match"

    Time to watch the final and say the same thing once I finish it


    This is the greatest time in history of wrestling bar none...

    Just started day 13. Im a little annoyed with some of the rules and lack of enforcing them. The dq was so stupid to me. Putting hands on a ref, interference, weapons, and unlimited crowd brawling is all good but someone suffering from a fake lowblow is the only thing that is enforced? Not only that but in thd same match an actual shot below belt was deliverd prior to the fake one and that was ignored. Gtfoh. Rant over

    Poor Evil btw. I wonder if Kenny was aware of either KO

    Kenny definitely knew about Evil when he couldn't get him up. Tried to pin him, then Red Shoes stopped because he was too close to the ropes. Didn't communicate to him about it or anything. Final V-Trigger and OWA couldn't have been easier to take.

    Red Shoes should have been in there as soon as Kenny couldn't get him up the first time but idk guess he thought he was just selling.
