HM: EVIL vs. Kazuchika Okada - NJPW New Japan Cup Final 7/11

Some weirdness towards the end took away from it somewhat, but this was yet another Okada match where 10 minutes into the match you realize it has been going for 25 minutes, and that is great.

I have no idea what to call it, whether to HM, WMOTYC, MOTYC, or simultaneous MOTYC/WMOTYC but EVIL vs Naito from Dominion was certainly a thing, especially the finishing stretch.

Agree with these. Main event was definitely hurt by the inability of the crowd to boo as much as they clearly wanted to, & the ending, as much as I enjoyed it, fell completely flat in the arena.

It was good enough that they even booed! And were applauding Red Shoes for defending Naito with the table. A great match.

And also this. What the Goddamn gently caress was that match? Boring as poo poo and then a dumbass angle that was met with complete silence. And using an actual garrote?!
