The point about winning a title via countout in Japan is irrelevant. You shouldn't end the biggest match of your biggest show in that fashion. That is why you don't build to a countout finish. It's really not rocket science.
I'm not saying the table spot was the worst thing ever, by the way. We have become so desensitized to that sort of thing we're used to seeing it and now it doesn't matter as much. Soon Dragon Superplexes won't be accepted as finishing moves either. But it is a perfectly valid observation to say "Hey, maybe that shouldn't have been done that way." Neither of those spots was necessary to the match, I've heard both cited as moments where even people who loved the match got taken out of it. That doesn't mean the match is an instant write-off, but to say that they were perhaps missteps tonally is not fucking insane.
