Has had stellar matches with Marufugi, Omega, Suzuki, Shibata and that last match with Omega going to a draw was great and continued that story. People wanted to see Okada/Omega 2 but they didn't just give it to you at the PPV and let it play out naturally. I knew Okada was going to lose to Fale but it was a solid match that lead to Omega. Now his match with Cody while it wasn't spectacular it told a story with Cody not really taking Okada serious while also having Omega there who knows you cant do that with Okada.
Yeah, like I said in the other thread, they let the in ring product do the story telling, and they know how to utilize long term booking effectively. Classic memphis wrestling is actually a heavy influence on Gedo the head booker.
