I enjoy Okada's wrestling, but don't find him to have much of a character. I probably would have liked the rich boy swagger that he had in the past. I've found myself far more interested in guys like Omega, Naito, Evil, and Tanahashi over him, in the very limited NJPW that I've watched.
Kenny Omega is the best wrestler outside of AJ Styles right now. Okada is cool but he's feeling too much like Brock Lesnar dominate but stale.
 
Who do you guys want as Smackdown Champ then? :nerd:


Let me guess...Nak? AJ?


I'm fine with Juice for right now!
 
For Smackdown, BJ, Swags if they throw actual talent his way to defend against, hell even KO or Sami. It would be interesting to see an angle where Kev helps Zayn get the title just to double cross him and take it off him. Maybe a Two Man Power Trip vibe where they hold single and tag gold for a bit.

Heel Cheerio
Sami
Rusev
Or honestly Jericho to put someone over. (I see Jericho vs Roode at Mania for sure though in a singles match.)

I was thinking of how we get AJ and Nak at Mania. I think you have AJ do the open challenge AT MANIA and Nak responds. Not interested in a build up.
 
Okada is having one of the best years in the history of wrestling. (Based on Meltzer-metrics).

The number of 4* + matches he has been put in is wild. He has like 4 from the span of Jan-April.

If you are getting tired of him, that is because YOU have simply got tired of seeing him on top. You would say that about ANYONE when comparing THE CHASE vs. them being the champ.

And to compare any part of him to Brock Lesner (who wrestlers 4 times per year) is outright disrespectful to the work Okada puts in. Not even sure how an ignorant statement like that could be made.

AS IF he hardly wrestles.
AS IF he phones it in when he DOES wrestle.

That is nonsense

Stick to WWE OP
 
Props for the KRS vid, Smoochy.

I certainly don't think Okada phones it in. As the face, he is the work horse, though that could be said of pretty much every Japanese promotion, regardless if gender. That's just the way the culture is.

I just feel fans are suffering from burn out. They latched onto Kenny because there was a possibility of change, they have backed LIJ because it's different and goes against what Chaos and Okada is. They don't along to Kaze Ni Nare and back a sociopath in Suzuki and his stable of young boy abusers.

Okada used to have some grime to him before the mega push to replace Tana, and truly I blame the fact they don't want their face to be a heel. Inevitably NJPW is gonna have to really change that with Naito or Kenny and honestly Kenny isn't even all that bad anymore.

I agree. Folks just get tired of seeing the same face up there at the top. It happens to anyone that is on top eventually.

People get tired of GSW
People get tired of the Pats
People get tired of Duke

It happens.
 
Wow at the main event HIAC match going 39 minutes....how did Shane even make it past 10???
