[brewking news] Okada has announced he is signing with The Ribera Steakhouse!
Translated with Bing: Okada will step in as the GM and a part-time table server of Ribera restaurant in Tokyo sometime early March. While many fans internationally were hoping to see Okada move to one of USA's top wrestling companies, reportedly the meetings between the former NJPW champion and AEW's Tony Khan and TKO/WWE's Triple H proved to be unfruitful as mutual agreement could not be found. TNA and NWA have also expressed interest to work with Okada.
In the press release Okada cites the reason for the falling down with the american brands being "Didn't really feel like it was me, too hectic, too much crowd" and the delay on the start day with his new Ribera job as "wanting to enjoy doing nothing for a while - enjoy the sun and weather ;)" - Daikoku news reporters caught up the owner of Ribera for comments, the general notion is that everyone was excited to work with Okada and they believe having someone who has worked in the wrestling business work for them would bring in more actual wrestlers in as customers through their connections.
