Okada is officially gone from NJPW.

I would honestly be much more interested in a WWE Okada than I would be in an AEW Okada, but I'm sure it probably won't happen.

On one hand, fuck Tony. Cut him off. At least if guys were going to WWE I'd never see them again, the whole "I'll dangle Will/Kenny/Mox/Bryan in front of your face so half the big event cards are AEW guys who can't lose!" shit Tony does sucks

On the other hand, I feel like this might be good in the long term. Now that NJPW can't just rely on Okada it'll be interesting to see who they push to the top spot, if they speed up the booking of the Reiwa 3 + Yuya, what they do with Chaos.

It's a shame though. If Tony had taken Okada back in 2020 when he was busted and dragging out matches to 40 minutes with the Money Clip I would be happy but I'm actually starting to enjoy Okada and his "fuck these YLs" era.

He'd be a bigger babyface to the IWC than Jack Perry. Luckily Phil isn't allowed to jump the barricade in the WWE so he'll be fine until he has to wrestling someone before he get's an injury. January is a good time for them

I don't think he'll do any better in WWE. Japanese wrestlers usually don't, at least on the men's side. Asuka succeeded because she made the rest of the women's roster look like crap. Okada won't stand out on the men's side.

He has height and size on his side so he wont look small compared to other wrestlers there, however NJPW wrestlers don't do storylines in or outside of the ring unlike say AJPW and DDT so for at least the first year he'll be crap. Just look at Nakamura's first two years on the main roster. All he had for a story is kicking/ punching people like AJ in the balls. Great character! Even with HHH doing creative now not much will change. Okada wont have a good story to him.

It's 2024 and fucking TNA had an early match of the year candidate on free TV last night. What a weird world.

They put it on YouTube too.


And they put the Nic Nemeth promo online.


And I'm hyped for Okada next week.

It's a sad day when Samoa Joe has to pretend that a nepotism hire geek who looks like he weighs 90 pounds soaking wet could have a competitive match with him or be "tough" in any way

But how else will Tony get undersized nobodies over if he doesn't recreate old matches with his action figure of the month?

You know Benoit was a smaller guy but he had the intensity in ring charisma and importantly wasn't built like a twig so that it was actually believable when he went head on with bigger guys
