Kenny Omegas way to the championship - 18 month in the making !
Omega vs. Okada = 4 Matches = over 3 hours of the best wrestling worldwide = EPIC!
NJPW does the best slow build story line around. Period.
voltangesse longer really...
It’s a shame Kenny’s reign as IWGP Heavyweight Champion was disappointing. It’s almost as if the 18 month build to his reign was for nothing
Jamie Holmes leaving the company will force most title reigns to end early...
Ben Schmelzer Not to mention, he didn’t work most tour dates either
Kenny Omega is so good at selling his opponents moves.
Idk y in aew he doesn't sell
@@01angadsingh please find 1 clip of him no selling. just because a difference in styles of how its done does not mean he is no selling
DaWadez Him va Sammy G. For The AAA title, He mostly no selled a lot of moves in that match
@@mx10380 thats the exact match i was talking abt
On dynamite Kenny vs sammy g
B4 that match i loved omega crazy but that match created a bit of a doubt and after that the no selling continued
Better not let Jim see this
I don't think it's going too far to call Omega/Okada one of the greatest rivalries in the history of professional wrestling.
it is one of the greatest, but not the greatest. and that’s where people start to disagree because the hype train tells them what’s great and what’s not
I think its very subjective. For me its more of how the match made u feel. Kinda like music in a way. So if say someone wanna say this is the best rivalry of all time, who are we to argue? Its their opinion, and if you don't agree with it, than you got issues of seeing other people just enjoying themselves.
Tbh Omega is nothing without Okada
@@randycrawford1132 I've come to realise that over the last couple of years.
It's an amazing match even by standards 100 years from now. This is mine blowing athleticism
The best rivalry in recent years.
See that I can agree with lol. I don't agree when people say it's the best of all time
@@henryluczak6218 What's your best of all time?
@@spruceschmickington3005 Misawa vs Kobashi
@@realkaygrand I agree with you.
@@realkaygrand Amen to that.
Kobashi and Misawa had the best chemistry.
WK11 aka Where all westerners become a fan of NJPW.
That was it for me for sure
I was late at wk 12
Wk 9 for me haha
Damn! Right KO vs KO brought the high number of audience to NJPW world including me
RenzStyles It was nine for me, but I watched eight and it’s buildup beforehand just to get a feel for the product and how they tell their stories. So you could probably say that actually...
NJPW is the best in world
Nxt is better than your njpw
Sorry but SHANE O MAC is bitw!!

FIGHT ME
The Guy Who Knows I won’t because I agree with you
The Guy Who Knows lemon！YES
I’ll fight you, when and where?
Fite me in my moms basement
@@BlackEyedMaori see you at the Tokyo dome
Okada's facial expressions when he is beat up or exasperated are amazing.
I never understood why Kenny Omega stopped being like this in AEW? Kenny Omega in NJPW was one of the most unique, talented and exciting characters in wrestling history.
The talent he had to work with. Wasn't as good in AEW.
Kenny was beaten and broken down by the time AEW started. He only came back recently when he finally got surgery and let his body heal. Then the whole backstage thing happened. I think his match with Ospreay will bring the house down at Forbidden Door 2
It's two things and neither are really his fault
1. He was injured beyond belief. We're talking neck, knees, shoulder, hernia, VERTIGO. You wanna say he wasn't the same, but he wrestled those Bryan and Hangman matches and had the Belt Collector run with goddamn vertigo. He deserves all the praise in the world for that.
2. His whole AEW run was about him wanting to put over Hangman. Since day 1 you could see it. He lost the big singles matches, tagged with Hangman and was then an unlikeable cowardly champion so that Hangman could be the hero of the story.
So all in all, he hasn't been the same because he's been injured and selfless. He hasn't regressed as a wrestler one bit and the Ospreay match proved that he's still the Best Bout Machine
I'd love to see a video on Okada and Tanahashi's rivalry. Old school rivalries (70s-80s) would be even nicer
actually steven their is and it's a two parter i'll find the link for you.: Part 1:ua-cam.com/video/fh6_g6rVc58/v-deo.html and Part 2:ua-cam.com/video/WtqEe3Jize4/v-deo.html
Steven Maxwell Tan Amen to that and so many others!!!
Jackie Brink Showbuckle lives on?!? I missed him so much!!Today is the gift that keeps on giving!!!
Eh, I'd prefer the rivalries from AJPW in the late 80's-early 00's.
These two had the best matches of all time. (Story-telling-wise, in-ring-wise, psychology-wise, chemistry-wise, rivalry-wise, pretty much everything) You can't deny that because of them, the wrestling world changed drastically.
Change my mind.
they're definitely up there, but id still say aja kong vs bull nakano from 90- 93 is the best feud in wrestling, i dont think ive ever felt that kind of emotion for another wrestling storyline, except for the golden lovers reunion. i agree though this feud between okada and omega has done a lot for wrestling as a whole, not just bringing more eyes on the njpw product but also encouraging people to be more open towards various other promotions.
@@zakrowe1301 O...kay? I was referring to the matches directly, and the rivalry is just part of it but thank you for your opinion
The best matches are Kobashi vs Misawa
@@realkaygrand I loved their matches too, but let's be honest. It was because of Okada and Omega, wrestling fans turned their attention to other companies
# OuttaNoWhere I agree that Okada vs Omega was great. I subscribed to New Japan because of Kenny vs Jericho and have gone back and watched classic matches like Omega vs Okada, Shinsuke vs Aj, etc. Deciding to watch New Japan was the greatest decision I have ever made. It is so nice to see a wrestling company actually care about its product.
The fourth match between these two is my favorite match of all time.
Where can I watch it?
Dailymotion
Bilibili
Even on fb
Omega-Okada I has got to be the most emotional match i've ever watched in my whole life.
Nah probably gargano - ciampa if ur going for emotional. Definitely the highest quality of wrestling tho
monotonedmika Which one?
@@LuckyDT 1. never have i seen a match with people crying in the audience. Japanese people are pretty emotional, but me watching it on NJPWworld the match left me teary-eyed when it ended.
I thought the 2/3 falls was highly emotional as well. The amount of people crying after Okada’s reign was finally ended was crazy.
@@LuckyDT oh no doubt the 4th match is the best of the Okada-Omega saga but it's more like i did not expect the first one to be emotional like that since i wasn't expecting anything coming in. kinda how i expect Omega-Tanahashi to be pretty emotional because we're in the dark as to what these two guys are gonna bring.
This match changed pro wrestling and there's no denying.
Nah it brought back the 6 star rating from the flair steamboat 3 match
Gymnastics not wrestling
@@khesipresents1885 Oke
@@khesipresents1885 lmfao way to dismiss a different culture and the way they do things just because Jim cornette said so
@@DaWadez the fuck is jim cornette?
I don’t think I’ll ever love pro wrestling more than New Japan from 2016-2019. These two made me fall in love with wrestling again
Hands down.. AEW was a nice change... Old NXT Takeovers were excellent... but nothing touched New Japan durring those years... brought me back too...
IMO, the greatest match of all time. So good.
Next to Kobashi vs Misawa
The 2 best wrestlers in the world today in the best rivalry ever
Bullet Punk better than Randy Orton and John Cena?😂
Joshua Joseph 🤣you better be joking
@@JohnnSuede wwe suck now..why you still watching it ?
Better than AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Chris Benoit?
@@nightprowler6336 AJ was also In the NJPW. But these two are there with them if not better. WWE has become an entertainment industry. While The NJPW is still the same yes they're an entertainment industry as well but they haven't lowered their wrestling standards. To put it simply they are still in the attitude era that the WWE used be in.
I still remember all of the emotions after their first match. I really thought that Kenny was going to win. I'm glad he didn't because the rivalry only got better and better. But I still remember where I was when I watched it, and everything going through my brain when Okada won.
@AlwaysLookCool 729 Truth be told I had a lot going on. My brother had just died a week/2 weeks prior. Plus I get emotional about wrestling. When you're a fan of something for nearly 20 years you care about it. This rivalry I put up there with the greats. Kane v Undertaker, Rock v Austin, HHH v HBK, Generico v Steen, Punk v Cena, Tanahashi V Okada.

PS Okada and Hbk are the GOATS
mobikine gaming Misawa vs Kobashi is Number 1. There is no competition fit this rivalry.
Stone cold vs rock
@@realkaygrand Man, some pretentious shit going on. Misawa vs Kawada was a better and more heated rivalry than Misawa vs Kobashi.
mobikine gaming misspelled the aces name man
James Ellseworth 😂😂😂😂
Possibly the best rivalry of modern times...
Kenny Omega is my favorite wrestler outside WWE🙂
classic. pure gold. wrestling at its very finest
Open the forbidden door 🚪 the wrestling world NEEDS this
Hands down my favorite rivalry in recent memory! Looking back at it, it still feels magical. I’m so glad I got to experience the journey that this rivalry was.
And Okada will be back in the USA again this November. Maybe we see them together again through the forbidden door.
I'd never heard of NJPW until Aj first debuted there and I've loved it ever since!
The Greatest series of matches since Flair/Steamboat!! Epic matches! 5* classics every single one of them!!
2 of my favorite wrestlers
I remember I saw Okadas North American debut in Mississauga Canada for some small local indy promotion called UWA Hardcore wrestling. He came with Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Thunder Liger and a couple of other Japanese prospects. He did a few months for them, I didn't think he'd get as big as he did.
This is probably the most important Recount you can put out there. Great Work guys 😃
I would love to see them battle again
I love New Japan and it's good that you're releasing videos that fill in the narrative threads for Western audiences.
That said, the Showbuckle UA-cam channel was already doing this, and doing it much better. His videos kept me coming back to New Japan and it's a shame that NJPW have tried their best to purge his work from the Internet.
It's not just NJPW, but a more widespread issue with application of copyright laws in Japan. Many channels focusing on manga and anime have the same issue with the Japanese publisher taking down also some good content praising the works.
The filming of new Japan just makes the match seem so much more dynamic and action packed.
If it wasn't for big daddy dave giving this match 6 star's and all of the attention that it brought, I wouldn't have heard about njpw and okada so I'm really glad how everything played out and the attention it gained.
Damn it add the whole story now its been a year!!
Of course this was one of the greatest rivalries in recent years. Imo Kenny's heavyweight champion run hasn't exactly been the best yet.
There hasn't been a notable challenger yet.
Especially fans not from Japan will not cheer on a local hero like the current Tanahashi. But the locals know what's good.
Thanks for the recounts!
I love these videos. I grew up knowing of NJPW only thru the partnership w wcw and later some limited vhs tapes from traders. These videos help fans from the states(and other english speaking areas) get a sense for the history and big players of NJPW. Perfect for NJPW and its expansion plans.
03:11 the most beautiful dropkick
Omega promo cut is so good ,then others wwe wrestlers
A masterpiece ..that final rainmaker hits so hard
My favorite match ever
Love that NJPW is doing stuff in the Tokyo Dome. Makes me feel nostalgic for Pride FC
Both of these guys are excellent. Great matches , great story telling. Both of their finishers are also awesome. The one winged angel looks really devastating.
Awesome Video...I remember watching that first match and I was so emotional...It was all real.. Omega in his finest hr and greatest wrestler in world then and Now...Okada is God!
You guys seriously deserve more audience,
Wrestlers here are killing it
Wow what a match! They both sold each other moves!
Love these recount videos
This one match is better than the entire year 2018 in WWE. Far superior story-telling as well.
@rudy2fat cap
WTF 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 That's one hell of a match. The best of the best so far. 😳😳😳😳😲😲😲😲😲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wk11 one was my favorite of all. One of my favorite wrestling matches and I am not even a wrestling fan but that match was just so good
Oh Man, I'm so proud to be able to witnesses this rivalry ! A blessing❤️
This is so good. Treat it like a sport, so good.
like pro wrestling, not sports entertainment.
OKADA the living Legend, The RAINMAKER!
Okada face expressions give me some The Rock Vibes
thanks to this match now i always watch njpw
This is great
Thanks for the video
This is some of the coldest 🥶❄️ work i have ever seen, great narrating Kevin Kelly. Chicago Illinois loves this content 😎
Truly brings a smile to my face during an epic match you'll see people in tears cheering for these wrestlers.
Rainnnnmakaaaaaa
Still one of my favorite matches of all time.
There storylines have heart and soul
Kenny 👍❤️
Love this
Went back and watched the 4 matches again.
Literally the greatest rivalry of all time
I just wanna say.... thank you AEW, for opening for me this epic world of pro-wrestling called the NJPW!
All four matches are all-time greats. They will be talked about for decades.
I wish you guys would get Showbuckle to make vids like these for you
Man... omega is brutal on the mic,
Honored to be in attendance
what a trilogy that was! what a feud!
We want NJPW in india ❤️
One hell of a match
Best rivalry and series of the decade really...
The fact that this video has only 300k views shows that only a few people prefer actual wrestling and not "professional entertainment" . NJPW is definitely the second best wrestlingpromotion in the world right now
I would love to see those two go at it again
The best pro - wrestling inc NJPW is strong wrestling style
Facing Okada and Ibushi in NJPW have prepared Kenny for his moment in time right now! As the Belt Collector, the Thanos of Pro Wrestling, and the Best Bout Machine, his time has come. It all leads back to either Okada or Ibushi at Wrestlekingdom 2022! Helluva storyline!! Great time to be a Pro Wrestling fan in the US, Mexico, and Japan right now! Enjoy it folks! Like Halley's Comet, you will never see it again in your lifetime!!!
My first time watching any OKADA vid. Just WOW
These 2 had a great rivalry and some great matches
Kevin Kelly is one of my fav commentetor
Showbuckle and Real Neat Puro would of made a far better job telling this story if NJPW and TV Asahi would of let them.
SEND THIS COMMENT TO THE TOP
Lol
Maybe THAT'S why they were taken down.
Do u understand they tried to monetize njpw content it would be cool if they didn’t do that
Thank you. I miss their story telling
Best series ever
Omg that one winged angel reversal into a jumping tombstone is RIDICULOUS
There Matches were epic classics.
legendary rivalry for sure
Definitely the match that got me into NJPW. I haven’t watched American pro wrestling since.
I love the recount
Cant wait for june joint show
Arguably the greatest wrestling rivalry in wrestling history
Two people who show the best fight
Man I wish I could see them wrestle each other one more time 😁
I've just seen this match for the first time yesterday. My life has changed and I am now a different person.
LEGENDS.
They're matches be LIT!!
my favorite rivalry
Props to Kevin on the VO!
Omega/Okada 1 is the match that got me into New Japan. I heard my brother talking about Omega & decided to type in his name on google.. their match had just happened 3 weeks prior so I watched it couldn't believe I was wasting my time watching WWE lol
