I so excited for part 5 but first I gotta watch the final part of this quadrilogy.

That's very interesting

So I work as a sports therapist for a bunch of different indies/njpw USA shows, and have taped up/worked with a bunch of wrestlers currently all over the AEW, NJPW, and WWE rosters. The answer to your KT Tape question is that yes it does actually help. It helps stabilize the muscle that you’re taping up and helps your range of motion. Lots of wrestlers have nagging injuries and lots of pain they’re constantly working through, so heavily KT taping up that spot helps them able to move it better. There’s so many wrestlers everywhere you wouldn’t realize are heavily taping their knees up beneath their ring gear and doing heavy warmups just to get through the match that night. Your favorites are all a wreck.

I cant wait for tomorrow, my fav match ever!

The dropkick in this match started Kenny’s vertigo issues, leading into his Naito bout.

Drew Or Die

Glad you guys enjoyed this one. The Okada and Omega series will always hold a special place in my heart. Their first match is what convinced me to start watching New Japan. Hopefully we get to see them run it back at All In. Once again, thanks to Paul Watson for helping organize these submissions.

Yes, thank you!! It was worth waiting for all of it to come together. Sad that this could be the "forgotten" one due to the length, but man did they still pack it with everything they have! There's still just something about those hour + long matches between these two that just allows the story to develop perfectly. I love it lol

Tallywags

His neck injury was all I could think about in this one haha. Plus I feel like 30 minutes isn't enough for a true match to develop between these two. Don't get me wrong, they went straight to the action with this one and I still loved it. There's just something about their hour long matches that added so much more to it for me.

Tallywags

Oh that was from this tournament?! Lol damn. Didn't even realize it was a spoiler 😆

Tallywags

Man I HOPE that's what they're planning for

Tallywags

Oh damn was it really?? 😯

Tallywags

Lol it's been great for the both of us 😄

Tally is going to freak out with their 4th match and even more when they face again at ALL IN 2025

Matthew Harvey

Also I believe this is the match that gave Kenny vertigo up until 2022

Michael Hay

Tally was right when thinking the winner of the G1 main events Wrestle Kingdom only problem is that Naito won the tournament then lost to Okada at Wrestle Kingdom. Can't wait for tomorrow for the next match!

Matthew Harvey

Fun Fact, y'all actually watched the finals to this tournament a few months ago which was Omega vs Naito

Nathan Morningstarz

Super excited for tomorrow, it will actually be the first time i have ever watched the next match in full ever since i watched it in real-time years ago! It is still til this day my all-time favorite match ever, so... since i guess you guys have already watched it, i bet you guys would love it so much! Back to the third encounter, no note or commentary since Drew provided enough context. But i would love to point out one thing (that Tally already noticed too) that serves as a little preview for the next bout: Omega finally beat Okada... did he? Ofc both were not totally 100% going into this match but you cannot say Okada was in the same physical condition as Omega. We could easily debate that Omega did not beat him while he was completely healthy, & who could be sure whether or not Okada could kick out of One-Winged Angel if it was not for his neck injury? There's that uncertain factor going into the next bout.

Something maybe cool for your inner timeline, you guys reacted to the final of this tournament omega v naito before. Not sure if you wanna look at the result there but either way, looking forward to tomorrow .

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

Man this community loves Omega. I just don’t get the love. More power to you if you like him but for me, meh.

Paul Watson

Lmao I'm glad y'all enjoyed I put so much work into making sure y'all got this series in order This one was kinda the forgotten one of the Okada/Omega series for a long time due to its runtime and taking place within a tournament so I'm very happy that me and Drew and Wade were all able to find a workaround Can't wait for y'all to see my submission tomorrow! It's a trip lol

I also find it funny that within the course of these submissions, Kazuchika Okada has entered my top 5 favourite wrestlers, so my reactions are almost like an inverse of Tally’s at points hehe
