Eh--? Okada doesn't consider Naito-san a rival?
>--Mutoh-san had the horizontal ties of the Three Musketeers of the Fighting Spirit, and rivals from other organizations such as the Four Heavenly Kings of All Japan Pro-Wrestling and Nobuhiko Takada, and they all created the era together. Do you feel any envy, Okada, who has been a "lone yokozuna" for so long?
>[Kazuchika] Okada: No, I think I am blessed. Tanahashi, Nakamura, and various other seniors, as well as foreigners such as Kenny (Omega) and AJ (Styles), and Jay (White) and (Will) Ospreay below them. By fighting against these guys, I have gained the confidence to the point where I don't have any clear rivals anymore. I think it will become even more interesting if more and more people of the generation younger than me emerge from now on.
