Wow. Was Meltzer there live? He tends to overrate things when he's there in person. That said, I haven't seen it yet, so who am I to say? Funny that Omega is apparently "stepping away from Japan" all of a sudden. I wonder if he's just trolling, if it's an angle where he'll finally ditch the comedy shit and then win the IWGP, if he's having an existential crisis after breaking the Meltzer rating system, or if WWE offered him the moon and the stars. |
vs. Kenny Omega 6I don't think Meltzer was there but I'm not sure. He might have been caught up in the emotional high, though, as the ending sequence was really incredible, which tends to have the most immediate influence. Sometimes opinions like that fade a bit over time or on a rewatch.
At the same time, I can understand if he thinks that. I wouldn't call it the greatest ever but it I do think it's one of the best wrestling matches I've ever seen. It is certainly at that level. I'm not going to argue with anyone who names it their personal favorite.
As for Omega, I have no idea what that tweet means. He blends kayfabe and reality really well so it might just be a bit of storyline fluff. Impossible to tell with him. Maybe he's seen the light and is moving in with Jim Cornette so he can train to be a serious wrestler.
