Give me Claudio Castagnoli taking down LIJ on his own (I want to see Claudio vs. Shingo). I wouldn’t mind CM Punk doing something with David Finlay, KENTA and some Bullet Club guys over there. I dunno, the crossover stuff as it is just doesn’t appeal.
I think MJF is fantastic but I didn't get anything from "The Ace". As someone who doesn't know anything about Japanese wrestling, Tanahashi looked fat and slow. I think that's the problem with this concept for me - like I have no investment in the NJPW wrestlers. Bought the PPV because of Punk. Was interested in Danielson vs Okada (who I recall being their guy for years) and was curious about Omega vs Osprey.

I felt the same way after Danielson/Okada as I did following AJ/Nakamura at WM. It was fine but given my high expectations was somewhat disappointed.

And the more I think about it - the more I don't understand why Omega/Osprey has gotten so much much praise.

Can someone who thought this match was excellent explain what about it you liked? I've heard for years that Omega was the best in the world and everytime I watch him - he's fine at best. He's certainly no Kurt Angle/HBK/Bret Hart.

I bought the NJPW show for Jericho vs Omega - and it was fine.

Then AEW started and I was excited. I bought the PPV and watched Omega vs Jericho and it was fine.

Then i watched the Moxley match where they fell in barbed wire. It wasn't the best and I just wrote it off because of the match.

Then I remember he got the new entrance (with the cheerleaders) and the matches were fine.

Is there a Kenny Omega match I should watch that will change my opinion of him?

If you like video game style matches then he’s good. I think there are elements of his style that have potential. I remember in his “legendary” series with Okada there were moments where it really felt like a fight but they detracted from it with way too many kick outs.

This is exactly how I feel about Kenny Omega. So many people tell me he's the best in the world and I watch him and go "that was fine."

I just don't get why people rate him so highly.

Though I guess what Dale said makes sense. People do seem to love a bunch of finisher-type moves and lots of kick outs.

meh. That "style" isn't for me.

Feels like old school wrestling fans are in a vocal minority that don't care much for his style. Everyone else, especially younger people, have been groomed by Hollywood to enjoy the Crouching Omega, Hidden Elite wire kung fu fests. People want action and style, not 2 guys rolling around on the mat for 10 minutes feeling each others legs up after a hip toss.

I'm somewhere in the middle. I enjoy his matches but have never really gotten the whole OMG HE'S THE BEST TO EVER DO IT BY FAR hype.

Every time someone says Omega is the best I just assume they have never seen PAC.

It’s so weird you bring up the “what do you actually like about it?” test. I was actually wondering that myself today.

There are so many other wrestlers that do better work, make you feel more, have a much more versatile game, etc.

PAC was one of the best about 5 years ago. Now I’m not so sure, I haven’t seen enough. But I’d rather watch PAC from 5 years ago than Omega now. Or from 5 years ago.

I like Omega just fine. He’s not my favorite but I’d be lying if I said I don’t enjoy watching him do his thing. My favorite Omega match is probably the one against Danielson on the first grand slam, and that’s more because I enjoy Danielson’s style. He’s more my type. But Omega is fun to watch and thought his match was Ospreay was excellent for what it was.

I love how Mr. Nerfect has a strong opinion on PAC and Kenny Omega without watching a single match of theirs. That’s a level of confidence you simply cannot teach.

Personally, I do believe that Omega is one of the greatest wrestlers of this generation. His style of in-ring storytelling is so unique and innovative. I understand if his style of wrestling isn’t your cup of tea but to dismiss it as “video game” style of wrestling is also unfair.

Why? I didn't have access to a stream or a legal way to watch the PPV. I had to wait and since I was watching it in the afternoon, due to the time difference, this is in the only place where I can share my excitement. I steered clear of the results and was genuinely stoked by the Osprey-Omega fight.

Both are matches worth getting hyped for. High level talents in their prime getting main event time to work on a big show. Doesnt happen every day.


Shame about Danielson and the match as well to be fair. Definitely not what anyone wanted but bones breaking...well you cant really prevent.

Pac is as great as he has always been, but he is never around long enough to really give him a full push. Even if he was, AEW has a horrible track record of building anybody past the initial goal of getting them over.

At this point, whenever he is back he will be in trios matches and maybe a random midcard title match, because that is the exact same thing he has been since he beat Omega one on one on PPV.

Im not big on Pac but the people he's over with he's super over. He's slowed down in the past few years and his stuff is better for it. Its a taste clash though. Not my thing.

LOL come on, Pac can do literally anything better than CM Phil. Athletically that is like comparing Lamar Jackson to some 1st grade kid with asthma.

Oh it’s definitely just a personal preference thing. Like when you’re exchanging messages with someone, some people write and send it line by line, some people write the full message in one message (I’m the latter).

If it’s happening “in the moment” I get the running commentary - its pretty much the intention of the thread. If you’re watching after the fact I’d just watch and express my feelings after. But again, it’s a personal preference thing, you do you.

PAC was booked beautifully at the start of dynamite, beating Omega and Hangman then going to a draw against Moxley, if I remember correctly. Really thought he was gonna be a major player but he just hasn’t been.

I do think we’re seeing Okada v Danielson at wrestle kingdom. Then maybe one more match after that to close out a trilogy.

I think PAC was planned to be a bigger guy in the pecking order of AEW but then he had travel/visa issues (didn’t he?) and the COVID stuff and then they picked up a load of guys from WWE that ended up shuffling him down the card.

I dont think Omega is the greatest of all time but I think hes up there and easily one of the current top guys.

I enjoy the spectacle aspect of a match with a lot of high flying, high impact and if a wrestler can get me to bite on false finishes I'm normally all in or I suppose somewhat emotionally invested in the match. Kenny seems to be good at what I enjoy in a match.

I want to say holy shit once a match, I want to be impressed by the impact of moves, I want to be impressed by the fluidity of whats going on in the ring and I want to bite on a false finish.

I honestly think you have this backwards. It’s only the vocal minority that still watch wrestling. The majority, that liked having big stars, stories and selling have stopped watching a long time ago.

The likes of Omega and the Bucks have made wrestling a niche product that doesn’t appeal to the masses. It’s athletically impressive, sure, but it isn’t professional wrestling.

People want stars and stories over athleticism. Even in the ring, psychology and selling live longer in the memory than any amount of flips and finisher kick outs. That’s why Rock/Hogan was an infinitely more memorable spectacle watched and remembered by many more people than Omega/whoever.
