BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Heh, I was going to mention that. Should have been a rest match for Okada before the final few days.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Someone is legit gonna die now.

 

[fury]

Let's go Kenny!

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Fuck, here we go.

 

[Kornflayx]

This will be awesome

Greatest theme in the world

 

[Brian_FETO]

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY

BIG FIGHT FEEL

 

[excelsiorlef]

That fucking death stare from Suzuki


Kenny avoiding eye contact. What a great story

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I FEEL SCARED

 

[Kornflayx]

Kenny peeing his pants at that stare

 

[excelsiorlef]

1 legged springboard moonsault... shiiiit

 

[Jashobeam]

now that's how you sell an injury!

those are some stiff ass punches from Suzuki

red shoes!

Taichi you son of a bitch!

 

[HashtagLapsed]

No selling those chops would take legit effort, fuck.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Red Shoes is fucking dead

 

[excelsiorlef]

This is how you use Fale right


That was fucking great

 

[HashtagLapsed]

"hold on here comes Chase Owens"

the feeling of hopelessness is now worse.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Omega is a god king seller fuck me.

 

[Brian_FETO]

fighting spirit

 

[excelsiorlef]

Omega is a god king seller fuck me.

It's a big reason why Omega vs Okada is so mind blowing both guys sell like mad

---------

This

Fucking

Match

 

[Jashobeam]

that was a lovely exchange of slaps and knees if I do say so myself

 

[excelsiorlef]

Holy fuck Suzuki just Jason Voorhees'd his way back into that sleeper


What a gorgeous dropkick from Suzuki


What a fantastic corpse sell from Suzuki on that knee trigger.


Damn that finish kinda sucked though.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Good fucking christ those last 2 knee strikes by Omega. Fucking hell.

Amazing match.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Damn that finish sucked though.

It did?

Loved the knees to evil laughing Suzuki

 

[kiguel182]

Great match. Susuki is a fuckinf badass and Omega is the best. Only match I catched live, will watch the rest on the archive.

 

[excelsiorlef]

The very very end yeah kinda.

Botched reverse rana. And didn't like the look of that last knee.

I'm not a big fan of a two move come backs and then finish.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Very fun brawl/technical mix with a great story from Omega/Suzuki.

 

[fury]

Excellent match. They handled the Suzuki-Gun interference perfectly too.

 

[excelsiorlef]

But like last 30 seconds aside... phenomenal match.

The potential botch was immediately covered by Omega selling his knee.

Those last two knees were savage enough for me not to be too unhappy.

**** for me.

 

[CDiggity]

Bah, I wanted Suzuki to win. Can't complain because it was a good match, but it does bring up the question on who in the block can even stop Omega besides Okada.

Spoiler

YTR pls

Oh 4* easy. I'd go 4.25-4.5

Did like the covering of the botch for sure. Shows how Omega is so brilliant thinking on the fly.

Second to last knee was good. Last one wasn't.

Though I'll retract calling it a 2 move comeback. Rewatched and it was the end of a clear Omega offensive run.


It just felt like there was a good 3-7 minutes of match left when it finished.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Great match and another great night of G1. Looking forward to tomorrow.

 

[Jashobeam]

I get the feeling that they are setting up for a feud between the two, that match didn't seem very long and Kenny was injured early in the match and also the whole Suzuki-Gun interference, there's a whole lot more story they could tell between the two. I'd love to see that match again for sure.

The last knee wasn't so bad, to my mind anyway.

Either way it was a fantastic match and another awesome as fuck show.

The next few days will be great.

I think that is my favorite Suzuki match of the year, alongside the Okada match and DDT match.

A feud between Omega and Suzuki would be amazing and it wouldn't surprise me if it happens too.

On another note, Omega and Okada wrestled a 60 minute draw at Dominion and when they face off here it has a 30 minute time limit. It will be interesting to see how they sell it and how long they sell injuries for to play into the story of that match.

That sell was brilliant by Kenny.

I was only able to catch that last match, is the rest of the show worth watching?

Heh you just listed like 3 out of like the 5 big Suzuki single matches this year

Last knee just looked like it got mostly shoulder (which I mean I'm sure they all dobut they shouldn't look like it)

Ending just felt abrupt. A good few more minutes to get to the OWA would have been cool.

The singles matches were all good. I really liked Juice vs Kojima. The tag matches were fun but *may be* not essential.

 

[Syder]

G1 delivers yet again

 

[kiguel182]

Juice Robisons match was pretty neat. Some cool shots and nice, brisk pacing.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

 

[excelsiorlef]

I actually kind wish that had been the finish (only like several minutes later) that sell was incredible

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

I was only able to catch that last match, is the rest of the show worth watching?

Definitely, all five matches tonight were good to great, you can probably skip the undercard.

Oh, by the way, if you noticed no intermission, there was a reason for that - all G1 shows from now until the end will have no intermission.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I really love how the story coming into Omega vs Suzuki was that Omega was really scared of Suzuki. In a lot of subtle (and maybe not so subtle) ways it played throughout the whole match.

It was really, really good.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

One of the most legit looking flash KO sell jobs I've ever seen. I agree that it could've worked as a finish.

Given that frankly the finish was mostly out of the blue anyway and given the story of the match and the Suzuki style, a "fluke" KO would have been phenomenal finish.

 

[Syder]

I want to rewatch today's matches already.

 

[kiguel182]

Sanada v Evil totally delivered for me. They pulled some awesome stuff.

Not a fan of the Elgin match. I felt like it took too much time to get going.

 

[Foggy]

Agree that the finish felt a bit quick, it definitely felt like they could have gotten a little bit more out of the match. But man, Keeny's selling to save the botch was so smart. Honestly I don't even know if Suzuki can take that rana.

Overall, really good G1 matches. Not as high as the highs in night 1 but more consistent.

Oh and that opening tag match was real fun.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Another great show, I agree the finishes were a bit weak but it was a nice change of pace from the constant neck drops of night 1.

Yano was screwed though! I really thought the finish should have been a double count-out when everyone in the arena took low blows.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I kinda wished they'd have booked Yano to beat both Okada and Omega but no one else and book Okada and Omega to beat everyone else but Yano
