****1/2 for Okada-Tanahashi. Had that last Rainmaker attempt been sucessful I might've gone *****. Tanahashi's last control segment was just painful to watch and the transition that lead to it was plain stupid, it no sold everything. More time means there were no lazy transitions and they were bulding up to everything. Also NEARFALL of the year.
Same rating for Nakamura-Sakuraba. Can't belive it was only 11 minutes long. I felt like a 25+ minute epic. GREAT MATWORK
+ STIFFNESS
,very good selling, Nakamura's subtle trolling, EPIC callback.....everything you'd want from a pro wrestling match.
