Okada – Hottest Run Ever?
By Scott Keith on 28 September 2017
Since the start of the year Okada has given us 8 *****-ish star matches between January and August.
Two of those broke Meltzer who doled out a couple of ****** ratings (thus negating the concept of the ***** system, but I digress).
Two Omega matches, 2 Suzuki matches and three others against Elgin, Tiger Mask W and Shibata.
Add into this near five starers against Cody Rhodes and SANADA , a couple ****+ against Bad Luck Fale and EVIL.
All matches completely different styles and psychology.
Has anyone come close to this in history?
I'm tempted to say Ric Flair on principle, but he didn't work the variety of styles and opponents like Okada has done this year. And to think we haven't even seen a Tanahashi-Okada main event for over a year now! Okada is just the best and hopefully he wins Wrestler of the Year by a landslide.
