Meltzer gives Okada/Omega from WK11 6 Stars!

Postby Str8Shooter » Jan 05, '17, 1:19 pm

Yes, that's right, he broke the scale of his own rating system for this match!! To say he loved it would be an understatement.

I watched it last night and it was pretty damn good, I actually watched the last 10-15 minutes a second time right after I was so into it. That finishing stretch was hot fire. Omega did Winnipeg proud!

I've seen everything up to the 6 star main event, because Kirbi wants to watch it with me tomorrow. Hope it lives up to the hype. There were three other damn good singles matches up to this point though.

5/5 for me. I haven't felt that emotional and invested in a match for a long, long time.

Personally, I preferred Naito/Tanahashi right before it, but you can't go wrong with either.

@Daz how good is it to see Ospreay consistently wow the New Japan crowd with his awesome flippy flips?

The audible gasps almost make me want to do a backflip myself.

The whole show was amazing but holy shit that match was great. Some brutal spots. How Okada didnt die on that german from the top rope is beyond me. I dont even watch much New Japan, but still felt emotionally invested. I wish Omega got the win, but still a great match.

God fucking dammit, that was a hell of a match.

My only criticism is that there were a couple of spots in there that were too dangerous and someone could have been really hurt - and even without those moves this would have been a 5 star match.

This had everything. Amazing athleticism, great violence, perfect pacing and psychology. Both guys showed drive and intensity at all times, fully committed to everything they were doing. This was an absolute star making performance from Kenny Omega. He's been great for a long time, but this was the match that cemented him as part of the tippy top tier of workers in the entire world.

That spot where Omega was kicking the shit out of Okada, but Okada refused to let go of his wrist and finally laid him out with the Rainmaker was the best thing I've seen in wrestling in ages. A thing of beauty!

I've seen a few people say that Naito/Tanahashi was better, but I don't see it. That was a great match in its own right, and Naito is one of the best natural heels in wrestling at the moment, but I'd probably give it a 4.5 rating rather than a full 5. I'm guessing there'll be a small handful of matches in 2017 that I'll like better than that one, but Okada/Omega will be hard to top. One of the best matches I've seen.

Fucking hell.

I watched ALL of Wrestle Kingdom 11 and it was pretty good. Six star match though? Nah. Not to me...

7 stars? :P

We'll probably be watching this later, along with Tanahashi/Naito and Takahashi/Kushida. Maybe Cody/Elgin too. Looks like New Japan hit another home run. When you see them deliver this consistently for their big shows, it makes you wonder how WWE make it so hard on themselves.

Hi guys, long time since being here. Hope you are all doing well.

Anybody have any links for the show or the match itself?

Hey Tom, good to see you back!

These shows are always really easy to find with a Google search. Just Google "watch njpw dominion online" and you should get a link without any problems.

I've watched Cody vs Elgin and Kushida vs Takahashi. Cody's match was decent and I like how they're protecting him, but it was nothing all that special. I guess it didn't need to be at this spot on the card. Kushida vs Takahashi was pretty damn good, but I'm not the biggest Kushida fan because that sort of strong style match isn't quite my thing. Still very enjoyable though. But I'm expecting more out of the main event and the semi-main.

Taking a bit of a break now, but will watch Okada/Omega later on.
