Nth. Good long long match with a great story. It's losing a star because it's a bit of a rehash (even though it's a unique match story for them).

In one lense I think it's comparable to Punk/Cena last year on Raw but something felt just off enough to keep it from that. Love both guys working limbs and keeping it consistent, especially Orton.

I would like to give a -1 vote for the Orton/Bryan match. It was really slow, the crowd wasn't into it, and they forgot to sell their injuries throughout; Orton was taking a beating on his leg and selling it until he had to do power moves and then suddenly the leg was fine. Just one goon's opinion.

That crowd loving sucked so they killed any interest in what they cared about.

Also Orton would hit his power moves then fall down grabbing his leg in pain. It was played really well throughout. I guess no, neither guy was completely incapacitated to the point neither could move.

Excellent six-man match where every guy got a chance to shine.

I'm thirding this now that I've finally gotten around to watching the Korakuen show. Really good match showcasing all six guys, and holy gently caress Korakuen crowds are great.

I don't think either was HM quality, honestly. Both were solid matches but could have used more time. The whole show was a good episode of TV but I think we're going to see better between Bryan and Cesaro. Christian and Orton have had much better matches in the past, too.

Solid loving match even with a DQ finish, cool spots, for a match full of old broken down dudes it was pretty dang good

Shibata loving owns so much, brutal offense by him and Goto, good stuff

I'll go for the HM too. It was a drat good match, but i know it's not going to hold up to the year of NJPW matches to come. I thought Tanahashi/Anderson was better. Still was a drat good match, the finishing rush was great.

It was serviceable and would have made a good Raw TV match or whatever

Yea see I can see where he's coming from but like comparing it to pretty much any match last night other than the big daddy yum yum one, i would never think to nominate it for anything besides "surprisingly didn't suck"

It was a really bad match and Tarver's idiocy moving his arms around led to Tenzan getting busted open. It should probably be up for WMOTY.

I don't agree, it wasn't that bad and Tenzan fell onto his elbow and sliced his head open, you watch MMA, you know how easy it is to cut a dude with elbows, blaming that poo poo on Tarver isn't legit

An elbow Target was flailing around. You aren't supposed to do that. If you crash right into a car that swerved into your lane, it isn't your fault.
