Okada says he won’t fight Kaito at the Dome. It’s not even a New Japan show and he hasn’t agreed to it so he says they shouldn’t have announced it

It’s funny seeing most of the fans in the QTs being like “hell yeah, don’t devalue yourself Kazu”.

Love how partisan fans are over this. During the Naito/Kenoh match, there were people shouting “Tranquilo Kenoh!” when he was getting mad and it ruled

He used to want to be Misawa and now he wants to be Keiji Muto.

He’s really good. He’s NOAH’s youngest ever champion, he won the belt at 22.

That's NOAH. Imagine New Japan if they hadn't made everyone have big character quirks and quickly identifiable traits and were instead good wrestler.

There's a reason whenever people talk about NOAH it's mostly good wrestling, old guys win, and Kennoh is angry.

Reminder that Okada did more to put over Kaito in that brawl than NOAH did over the last couple of years

They have Kiyomiya mess with okada on a njpw show or two and really get the njpw fans worked up and I can see a lot of njpw fans buying a ticket to see okada put this punk down.

Could do some good business

Kaito should absolutely come out on one of the Korakuens this week and cause problems. It would be funny to see how Naito and Shingo react to having their match interrupted by an angry Kaito attacking Okada. Plus Shota is teaming with Okada so you can have him get in Kaito's face to set up your next big interpromotional match.

I mean, Kelly kinda pushed this on commentary and in the context of this feud it's not wrong, i don't think - He's Okada 10 years ago.

When does Kaito start carrying balloons everywhere? Though he does kind of dress like Hiromu, so that's something.

I wouldn't say NOAH doesn't have characters though. Tadasuke's a weirdo rock star, Dante Leon is a grunge dude, Muto is Muta, Kenoh is an angry babyman with Lego hair, YO-HEY is what if David Bowie was a Japanese wrestler, Hayata is a Dishonored character I guess, Yone is a funky disco dude, etc.

I'm definitely not that level of pure wrestling fan, sadly. I need some kind of character traits to grasp onto.
