bradhindsight Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Here's your first confrontation between Omega and Okada post 1/4 and Okada blows him off and wants Cody to start the match. Really weird. This is an all-star game of sorts, although the early portion is the BC working over Ospreay and cutting off his tags. I actually felt that section went on too long. Plenty of shtick from both sides (Okada doing "suck-its!" to the Bucks, etc). Ospreay gets a good bit of the showcase here along with Cody. Ospreay saves Okada from the top rope with Cody as they tease the big suplex to the outside on the group of guys. Cody reverses and hits it on Ospreay to wipe everyone out (similar to a spot they did at Global Wars '15). This finally leaves the ring to Okada and Omega who forearm each other and go at it. More finisher teases from these guys, but nothing hit. Ospreay eventually cuts off Omega (there are no tag rules the second half of this) with a one-man Spanish fly. He and Cody finish things up with teasing around the Cross-Rhodes. Os-cutter is rightfully reversed easily into one and there's your match. This was 20 minutes of fun. ***3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShittyLittleBoots Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 This was soooooo much fun. I had an absolute blast watching it - never a dull moment, red hot crowd, great interactions between everyone. Loved it. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I had a blast watching this. Omega was in his goofy pants but the comedy worked here including the lifting up of Ospreay for the multiple superkicks. Other stuff like the tease of Okada vs. Omega was built up well for the final stanza. Even Cody brought something to the proceedings here. A great way to cap out the two nights that had a shaky lineup but ended up being an enjoyable duo of shows. **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I liked this quite a bit as well. Watched this with my wife, who doesn't watch any New Japan, and she was blown away by Ospreay's athleticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
