Please, we all know Okada only went back to the Rainmaker outfit because the Budokan wouldn’t let him have his balloons. The story of Weird Okada is only just beginning!!

FS singles stuff is weird because "I can't win so I'm not even going to try" is an angle for losers. They work fine as a tag/trios unit.

VJeff posted:Personally, I really don't need to see Okada/Omega again until like, I dunno. Late 2019? The feud's over, let it be over for at least a full year. Part of me agrees, but doesn't Okada have to main event this show? Closing out MSG is a legacy-defining opportunity and I don't see them giving it to Ibushi. Naito makes some sense but it's harder to see for me. Only real fundamental feeling here: don't blow this on something weak.

If it’s not some forced ROH vs NJPW main event, and if you REALLY want to steal shine from WWE on Mania weekend, you give the people Tanahashi versus Naito, Omega, or Okada. They may not know they want it, but the Ace still has some life left.

I don't know if they'd go straight from a 2 year + reign to a 6 month reign, especially since they consider Kenny to be their ambassador to the west (CEO fuckup non-withstanding)

Dave was pitching that Omega should lose at the dome then win it back from Tanahashi at MSG. It's a little bit hotshotty but the story supports it.

STRONGEST ARM IS BACK gently caress YES I hope he can still go hard, he was still consistently putting on bangers in singles matches before his injury.

Okada at Arena Mexico starts at 9:30 Eastern, his match will probably go to the ring around 11 give or take 10 minutes. Or just join us for the whole show here: http://www.psp-tv.com/r/badmoviesworsewrestling

here's cmll vod, linked to the timestamp for the okada match. probably don't need to remind anyone here, but remember it's a 2 of 3 falls match with some weird elimination rules i will never actually understand (something about captains idfk) that you won't need to really worry about https://youtu.be/MyW5I3kt5ek?t=4910

Assuming he doesn't get repackaged before coming back, I'd be loving fascinated to see how that gimmick plays with a New Japan crowd

He'll probably be repackaged, that's what happened with Kamaitachi, Wacky Takaaki, and Okato
