And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

On a scale of 1-10 how disappointed will we be as a collective if Okada shows up in WWE?

Okada signing with TNA would obviously be very funny but also Okada is so clearly meant to be a company’s Ace it would be perfect for both Okada and TNA. Riding the momentum of changing back and signing, debatably, the second greatest wrestler ever. We could be looking at three major American promotions at one time, plus an incredible indie scene. Wrestling could hit a new level

Okada is going to that woman's wrestling league in New York. He is going to do backstage interviews and drive a boat or something

It's his dream to finally get to work with a world class milliner (for some reason I couldn't remember the word for a hatmaker & wanted to call them a luthier except I know that's the word for a guitar/violin etc maker. Maybe Okada really wants a guitar hat, IDK)

Personally a 2. The disappointment was him leaving New Japan. The destination matters little. But this forum as a whole? It'll be a 9 or 10.

Okada in WWE would be the better option cause it's the funniest path. If he's in AEW, we'll just get endless discourse about why he isn't immediately world champ upon joining.

Okada has had a very full career at this point so if he retired tomorrow I wouldn't really be that disappointed.

Okada came to my house last year and he makes an incredible jambalaya.

I’m rooting for him to go to NXT just for the puro weeb meltdown but I do really like the idea of him going to TNA now.

I know he played it in school, dunno how good he was. But there was a documentary where he went back to his old high school that was on NJPW World & I'm sure he talked about that

I imagine Rukus is noodling around on his synthesiser just in case.

Is Okada's music by the same person who does most of the NJPW stuff or by the person who did Naito's (and maybe Goto's?)

reminds me of this video of Brian Cage and his wife (girlfriend at the time) Melissa Santos at some convention where they did a chop exchange

Melissa hits him as hard as she can and almost breaks her hand. Cage throws like a 1/10th power chop and about kills her
