nakamura is far more suited to WWE than okada and his run has been shit. he's just there to collect a paycheck and surf in florida, and if that's what okada wants, go for it. they both earned their fed retirement.

AEW will present him like a big fucking deal, he's already worked with them plenty of times, its where his friends are, and he'll work in wembley, dwarfing all of the dometty shows he's done.

the choice is so obvious that there is no choice

Has anyone created their own unique legacy in AEW? I can only think of Sting but his legacy is basically Darby's mentor. I feel like wrestlers come in as "wrestler from the other company" and it makes the company like TNA that way.
AEW doesn't have Wrestlemania or huge name recognition but if Okada wants money then Tony Khan will throw all his money at him because he doesn't care about profit.
It seems like he left NJPW for loadsa money so he'll probably go to AEW.

A big deal in aew is wrestling the Blade on Rampage and then challenging for the eastern conference championship at aew blast at the balcony.
There are so many guys show should already be viable top guys in aew, they don't have space for another guy so hopefully he goes to WWE. For Takeshita's sake.

I don't trust Tony after he relegated a former NJPW champ to ROH trios champion. Also there's only so many ways you can present top guys in AEW because top guys are limited to the roster and Tony's retarded "storylines".
I don't want to see my Jap nigga fighting a guy like Hook at All In in a heatless feud with no build up.

Bang Bang Gang just got the ROH trios so they can unify them against the daddy ass squad.

Jay is presented as a top tier guy, there is no rush for him to be champ. Swerve and Joe are more over right now anyway.

Difference is Nakamura works basically 90% of the year, flying all around, breaking his body on the daily. AEW will offer more money to do a lot less.

Doesn't have an entourage, doesn't have Brandi, doesn't have weird excessive shit that made everyone debate whether he was a heel or not. He's just a straitlaced babyface and is the top merchandise seller in the company and probably the biggest house attendance draw as well.

He's getting older so the easier matches in WWE would make sense and he's had enough BANGERS™ in Japan to last him a lifetime. Tony Khan is just too inexperienced to do him justice and he deserves good treatment after the career he's had.

AEW is far more likely but there is a chance WWE win him over but they would basically be putting all their eggs in one basket to get him. Okada is good no doubt but he likely won't translate to the WWE style and machine.

His ceiling with WWE would be higher but he would have to work harder for it.

If the Bucks are checked out, then the three of them just want to get paid to do their own bullshit in their own little corner with their other friends. They'll probably try to poach Shelley and Sabin from TNA.

WWE could outbid Tony Khan if they want to, but that depends of if Endeavor is willing to not be chincy,

LOL. AEW doesn't present ANYONE like a big fucking deal. Tony signed CM Punk and Bryan Danielson, the two hottest free agents he could possibly get his hands on, and he had them cooled off and wrestling jobbers a month later. If Okada signs with AEW he'll wrestle 50/50 cold matches against bottom of the barrel shitters like Komander or Wheeler Yuta and participate in pointless tag matches until he's ice cold. He'll also just randomly vanish for weeks at a time. If he has the option of signing with WWE or AEW then there's no reason to sign with the latter unless all he wants is gaijin money and he doesn't give a shit about anything else. Which if that's the case, fair play to him, understandable. But if he wants fame and recognition in the west then WWE is the only choice.
