I just watched it tonight. Dar0 and I don't see eye to eye sometimes but he nailed this one, Okada doing his dropkicks and top rope moves with what's supposed to be a mangled knee killed this match for me too.
Beyond that, the way the match was laid out, Okada has to tap to the kneebar (or have the towel thrown in, that would have been great) at about the 30-35-minute mark. Okada surviving that and going on to win is over the top unrealistic. It was too massive an attack on the knee for that, the offense needed to be more even in distribution. Meh.
