While Kenny Omega vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi may not be a 5-star match, it was what it was. I thought it built up wonderfully and told a good story. Both veterans know how to put on a show. I was not disappointed at all.
But I wonder if making Tanahashi the IWGP Heavyweight Champion is the right move. This probably means that Kenny Omega is WWE bound. I hope that Tanahashi drops the title to a younger superstar, who can be the face of the brand, going forward.

And this is not a slight against 'The Ace' who is still a master of psychology and still commands a lot of respect from his fans. It's just that his time has come and gone, and he is much slower in the ring than he was.
And quite honestly, there's only so much air guitar that one can take.
Wow!!!! That was a brilliant main event. Congrats Tanahashi and Omega #WrestleKingdom13
