Quoted By:
Okada was not more popular than Naito, but he was a better fit as The Guy
Back then, Naito fans getting cucked and Naito needing to claw his way to the top every time was what sold. So you needed an overpowered wrestler to be the guy for him to break through, and Okada was perfect for that role.
He's also a great foil against anybody.
Omega? Check.
Ospreay? Check
Tanahashi? Check
Ibushi? Check
Takagi? Check
Styles? Check
Nakamura? Check
Shibata? Just one of the best matches of all time, no big deal
History will not look kindly on Okada only because he decided to cut his cock off to become the goofy Young Cucks lackey and not even gracefully job out like Tanahashi would have done
He was a good top guy before that
