Same. It didn't even feel like 5 hours whereas SummerSlam which was 6 hours felt like 48 hours long.

I prefer limb focused matches to striking and high spot matches but I preferred Omega/Okada by far.

With that said Punk/Cena MITB is the most overrated of all time and it's really not even close.
First paragraph: Same. I marked so hard for the end which lasted forever. I can't even remember the last time I enjoyed a match so much.
Second: that's like, your opinion. I think it's easily a top 5 WWF/E match.

There have been other matches he's said "5 stars doesn't do this match justice".
Quotes from Dave are in the comments if you're curious enough.
That event was fantastic. Even the undercard delivered and I was afraid of being bored to death until the last three matches. Good use of my time iyam
A parting sentiment: LOL you guys.
