Okada/Hiromu is the first match I'd really put at MOTYC level since Nagata/Suzuki. Especially since I half expected an LIJ finals.

I did too, but there was the gnawing sensation that they wouldn't put a junior over Okada, even if said junior would eventually lose to Naito.

I thought that's why Ishii-Hiromu was better - booking makes it a more compelling match. Okada was never losing to Hiromu, MAYBE a TLD, but not in the semis.
