Poison Ranas from the top rope always look brutal.

Okada having nothing left and just tapping Naito with forearms before Naito spits in his face and slaps him.

Great fucking match, but it feels like they missed a moment here. I'm not a fan of a predictable finish, but sometimes it just makes sense.

Main event was really great.
Naito should have won though. Going to assume NJPW wants Okada to break Tana's record for most title defenses since he's only a few away now from it. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 01-04-2018 at 08:18 AM. |

Honestly, it is nitpicky when almost the whole event ruled, but unless CM Punk's music hits now or at New Year's Dash, I think they did it wrong.
Still, whoever beats Okada finally will be a made man... Just don't let it be Jay White lmao |

The only one to beat him is Kenny Omega.

Amazing show. Given that this past year is the first one I've really gotten into New Japan I'm not annoyed that Okada won, but I can see why those who have followed it longer would be.
Just stellar top to bottom, wasn't bored at all the whole time. |

He's apparently still got to break Tanahashi's title defence record so he'll probably do that at some point. Need to see how far away he is from that.

7 defences to beat Tanahashis record. I think he's at least going to do that.

He had 7 defenses in 2017.
So we're looking at a whole nother year. In that case I would bank on Omega winning the G-1 again. |

Or Naito. Add in a couple of extra defences here and there with the extra dates they're running and maybe Kenny wins but still doesn't break his Okada title match duck and Naito beats him before then.

Still, for those new to NJPW and still have the sub for the moth, the New Years Dash show tomorrow is half filler tag matches and then the latter half usually sets the direction for the first half of the year. Last year Suzuki-GUN made an unexpected return to beat down Okada.

Agree that they missed an oppurtunity here, but hell, there are worse things than a continued Okada reign

Reading the NJPW Reddit and seeing loads of people threatening to never watch again with loads of "fuck you Okada" and "fuck you Gedo" posts. After what might've been the best show I've ever watched.
Jesus......talk about jaded. |

Yeah, I bitch a lot about winners and losers in WWE because that directly affects how much match time they have with the position on the card. But when the matches are all of a high quality, I don't mind as much. I'll root even harder for Okada's challengers going forward.

Exactly. It's not the same situation as Cena in the mid/late 2000s. With him, you'd get a great match now and then but largely a bunch of mediocre at best main events that you get bored of quickly. That'll probably be the same story for Roman once he gets his title run which is already rumored to be a year-long one.
With Okada you're guaranteed a stellar match and it's at the point where it'll feel like the Streak ending once he finally does lose the belt. |

I can't believe my brain gave out during Suzuki / Goto,and I woke up to them cheering Naito/Okada at the very end. Fuck.
