Okada's 100% going to WWE and that should have been obvious once he hired Barry Bloom as an agent. He didn't need to hire an agent to negotiate with BR or Tony, you name a price and either the former cries and says it'll bankrupt the company and Tony hands over a blank check.

You hire Barry Bloom as an agent because you want someone to see how much money you can get from Nick Kahn and Triple H.

Finish the story Cody? nope

Punk finally gets his mania main event? lolno

Rainmaker puts over the Tribal Chief? Ooooohaaaaaaa yessir

The Elite and Ospreay were all represented by Barry Bloom in their most recent deals.

So if one of Okada's last matches is putting over one of the young guys, who should it be? Shota and Tsuji both feel like they have their own 'mountains' to climb, Ren Narita kinda just sucks. Is it Uemura by default?

I'm kinda worried about them trying to make Yuya happen at the expense of Tsuji.

Seems like whenever J-Cast turns up on my timeline they are having a completely normal one, surely if the company was annoyed at Okada they'd book him to lose one of the myriad matches on the way out like letting Shane pin Ishii for the belts

Well if you listen to them Okada is refusing to lose on the way out.

That's a fightful article that's very likely using Google translate to "report on" a tospo article (a newspaper most known for pushing kayfabe) . So ymmv how seriously you take it

The state of wrestling journalism

Good point. I looked around and someone else translated it as " I’m going to be leaving as though I’m not coming back to NJPW again."

lol I've never even watched a Perry match. I was just making a joke about NJPW pushing random foreigners over their home-grown "Future Ace" kid. If he's actually good I'd love some match recs.

My favorite match of his was the cage match vs. Luchasaurus at Full Gear 2022. He also had a really good/hilarious match against DOUKI on Rampage right before he turned full heel and you can see how he works in that style.

He didn't seem to take any nasty bumps so that's out of nowhere but scary all the same geez

By all reports it's not due to an injury he suffered in the cage match, but a lingering issue and he's choosing to retire before his quality of life is affected.

Does this make Mox the first to hold the top title in WWE, AEW and NJPW?

Yes. AJ has held the WWE, TNA, and NJPW titles but Mox is the first to do this particular combination.

I think the real problem is that Ren Narita kinda sucks.
