Okay, let’s talk about this whole Okada vs. Kenny Omega thing. Man, what a ride that was, right? I remember getting into it right from the start.
Getting Started: The First Big One
So, I first really paid attention when they were hyping up their Wrestle Kingdom match. WK11, yeah? Heard a lot of buzz, people saying it was gonna be huge. I figured, okay, let’s see what this is all about. Found a way to watch it, settled in. Didn’t really know what to expect, just knew these two were supposed to be top guys.
Watching that first match… jeez. It just kept going. And going. But like, in a good way? Every time you thought it was over, nope. They just kept hitting each other with insane stuff. I was kinda glued to the screen, not gonna lie. By the end, when Okada won, I was just kinda stunned. Like, wow, okay, that was something else. Definitely lived up to the talk I’d heard.
The Rematches: It Keeps Going
Then came the rematch, Dominion, I think it was? The hype was even bigger this time. Could Omega actually beat him? Had to watch it again. This time, it went the distance. A time limit draw! Sixty minutes. Sixty minutes! I remember feeling absolutely drained just watching them. Couldn’t believe they went that long and still didn’t have a winner. It was nuts.
After that, you had the G1 match. Shorter time limit, felt different. More urgent, you know? Omega finally got a win over Okada here. That felt like a big moment, shifted things a bit. Showed he could do it.
- WK11: Okada wins. Insane match.
- Dominion: 60-minute draw. Exhausting.
- G1 Climax: Omega wins. Finally!
The Big Finale: Two out of Three Falls
And then, the big one. Dominion again, the year after the draw. Two out of three falls for the title. No time limit. This felt like the ultimate showdown. I made sure I was ready for this one, knew it was gonna be long. And yeah, it was another marathon. Just back and forth, unbelievable stuff they were doing. Seeing Omega finally win the belt after all that… felt like the end of a huge story. You saw everything they went through condensed into that one series.
Honestly, watching those matches as they happened was something else. It wasn’t just about the moves, it was the whole journey. Following it from that first crazy match to Omega finally getting the big one. Just a wild series to follow as a fan. Really stands out when I think back on stuff I’ve watched. Simple as that, really. Just great wrestling to watch unfold over time.
