Has Okada had a match even close to being as good as that one in AEW, though? I liked his first Bailey match, but the other stuff I saw just seemed like AEW slop watering him down.

is anyone saying it was not good?

not counting seething e-drones because of course they are crying and clutching their pearls over it, and they're not really people anyways.

I did like the Ibushi match, thanks for reminding me of that. Not anywhere near the Tanahashi match, but good.
The three way is classic AEWslop. I don't know how you tolerate it.
Don't remember if I watched the others. Maybe not.

Okada has always had better matches in NJPW considering he was the face of the company from 2012 to 2020.

>>19621310
Cope E Drone.

Okada vs Tanahashi in NJPW is better than GAYWWE and GAYEW.

Yeah it was terrible. Tana is too gimped to even have decent funny matches with Dieno. Can't even pull himself off the match within a reasonable period. Was genuinely embarrassed for Okada early on as he tried to protect the grandpa. Nothing special here. Maybe on par with Naito's recent blunder in NOAH, but some will get wrapped up in the emotions of the retirement and thinks it's kino regardless.

it wasn't really a good match, it was a great retirement because it was respectful and drawn out but tana's in terrible shape
they just played their hits for the crowd

Grim. Can't even enjoy the based Ace's last match without console warring or making it about WWE. You must be miserable
