Since the whole “Forbidden Door” came about as a concept almost 2 years ago….this is the single moment I (and I’m guessing a lotta others) have been waiting for.
So before the inevitable “sell me on Okada” thread here you go; Okada is f***ing awesome! Full stop.
(the only other thing left that I need to happen now? Golden. Lovers. But that’s another thread, hopefully, for another day.)

That was a pleasant surprise, even if I would have understood him taking time off to be with his pregnant wife.

But damn I’m glad he did.

He looked like he just got off the plane or just woke up or something...either way it was great to hear the coin drop. Truly think they are doing all 4 men a disservice with a 4 way but there's always next year.

In terms of the four way, I'm all for it. Just let these guys all go nuts and guarantee a crazy banger that will get the crowd hyped for a good 20-30 minutes
If Omega ain't ready to face White yet, this is probably the best case scenario.

I sort of get where you are coming from but Okada vs Page vs White vs Cole for the The IWGP World Heavyweight Championship on a PPV is not exactly some sort of massive step down for any of them.

Makes sense. Okada's someone who is usually said to be surprisingly humble, and he remembers people from on his way up. Hell, AEW exists as it does in large part because he remembered a pair of brothers he developed a rapport with during his time in TNA when all three of them were frustrated, and was a major part of NJPW booking the Young Bucks, wasn't he?

My sound wasn’t working properly so I missed the coin drop. I was livid.

I haven't seen a full Okada match since pre-pandemic so I'm rly glad they worked something out, cause I missed him. Also I hope he's not sleeping on the couch when he gets home.

Yes he is the reason the Bucks got to New Japan. They were looking for juniors to put in the Bullet Club for the jr tag division and Okada suggested them and went to bat. Mentioned this in the Forbidden Door thread but sounds like as of this time last week Okada was still not committed for the PPV.

Oh no do not get me wrong its a hell of a match just more something I would run on a video game then given the options with those 4 involved. I am stoked and excited that he gets to show up I just wanted this entire thing to be different then it was presented unfortunately...It was all booked to me like an invading local fed that everyone knew and I still have a bit of a reserve about that. Either way it's freakin Okada less than 3 hours from my door...I now feel like an idiot for not trying to get tickets.

It'd be super funny if they strapped up White just so Okada could win the IWGP belt again from him in the US.

Okada wins, then you set up a true one-on-one match with Hangman for WrestleKingdom.
