We have seen several WWE stars take to social media over the past week to comment on the incredible match between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada from Wrestle Kingdom 11. RAW General Manager Mick Foley is the next WWE employee to have some big praise for the match.

Here is what he posted:
“OMEGA VS OKADA: RANDOM NOTES ON AN INCREDIBLE MATCH
1) The bar has been set VERY high for 2017 match of the year.
2) This is one of the greatest matches I have ever seen. If the Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask and Flair vs Steamboat classics had a baby, it’s name would be Omega vs Okada.
3) Kenny Omega is out of this world. He might be the perfect combination of wrestler/sports entertainer in the business.
4) If there was an award for best performance by a prop, the table in this match would win in a landslide. I don’t think I have ever seen a table better teased or better utilized, leading to one of the greatest payoff crowd reactions I’ve ever witnessed. On its own, it may not stand out from other remarkable table spots – but in the context of its match, it was just incredible.
5) This is probably not the best choice if you are trying to get to sleep late at night. #OmegaVsOkada may be many things, but it is NOT a cure for late night insomnia”

Also, Foley spoke on criticism that he shouldn’t be talking about other promotions while employed by WWE:
“I do get a few comments wondering if WWE minds me talking so highly about another company. Mr. McMahon has always respected my opinion, and my right to share it. I don’t anticipate that changing anytime soon. I think this type of matter really does raise the bar for the entire business – and I think it will bring out the very best in WWE superstars heading into WrestleMania. I will sometimes speak about the element of magic in the air that can turn a great match into something people can remember for years, decades – maybe even a lifetime. Omega and Okada had that magic in the air at WrestleKingdom. I hope it’s there at Wrestlemania as well”
