Thread 18624623

why is okada so dimeless in AEW? It seem like he's trying.
Is it just imposible for a nip guy to get over in the states?

his gimmick is that he says bitch in a funny accent

He was dimeless in Japan. You were just brainwashed by Redditors.

>>18624623 (OP)
Phone it in retirement run. He's already worked the money mark for a contract he's not sawdusting himself when he already has long term injuries.

>>18624623 (OP)
Yes. Same as the only Mexicans who get over speak fluent English. Because Vince Russo was right and matches don't draw, characters do.

>>18624623 (OP)
>Literally who?
That’s why. Nobody outside of a handful of obese, unwashed, autistic turbo virgins on here even know who the fuck this guy is. I sure don’t. Only like 12 people in the entire world even watch gAyEW so this dude had literally zero chance of ever being anyone. Would’ve been better of doing to NXT

>>18624623 (OP)
Being an ESL is a huge handicap and Japanese have naturally dorky mannerisms. To be a real star in the west you need to have *it* which none of them do

>>18624623 (OP)
I hope this mother fucker is in pain for the rest of his life. I really do

I think Okada's been bored of being the top guy for awhile now and he's actually enjoying getting to just goof around in AEW saying bitch and hang out with his pals. The thing is fans were wanting NJPW Okada when Okada never planned to be that Okada regardless of whether he went to AEW or WWE.

Tony LITERALLY paid this guy millions of dollars because Dave Meltzer liked him lmao

>>18624623 (OP)
He gets a pop every time his music hits. Japs are more over than most of the EFL roster in AEW

>>18624623 (OP)
Okada? More like WHOkada or who-caresda. This dudes a nobody

Nu Jamals hate to admit this, but Okada and all the other Japanese guys were never a draw.
Only domestically they might move the needle a bit, but in the grand scheme of things NJPW has been in WWE 94-95 mode for nearly 30 years at this point. Even their record revenue years and western expansion was thanks to foreign talent.
The proof Okada was never that good was how poorly the company did with him on top in the early 2010s, and once Covid and AEW happened. Every time he was either propped up by foreigners on the card or NJPW ran shows like MSG that coincided with WM in the same city.

The gaijin stuff like Bullet Club, Omega, Jericho etc was the real draw. Weeb antismarks will call you a redditor for saying it but it's true.

Don't tell me this motherfucker isn't dimes. He doesn't need to talk, just look at him, farming aura with these pants, looking like a tekken character. Looks like a champ, wrestles like a champ. Coin drop is as iconic as the glass shatter too, don't @ me. I wish he'd go to WWE but he they'd probably butch him even further and make him Nakamura 2.0

>>18624866
His mommy made those pants

>>18624886
that's based. Put his mom sewing his pants in a video package. DIMES

>>18624932
I'm going to put your mom's pants on my package.

cause he is dimeless in aew
in nujamal he was fighting to keep his position up top
in aew he was instantly given the top guy status without even wrestling

He's doesn't have good enough English to do live promos. American wrestling is built on people talking trash to each other.

He's a slower wrestler who needs 20+ minutes to have a good match. That's not easy to get on TV.

He's also taking it easy like most Japanese wrestlers do when they come to the US. I'm not sure who started it or when, but it's a thing.

>It seem like he's trying.
Lmao

I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t pulled a Kenny or an Ibushi, and just get paid to stay home due to injuries.

>>18624644
This and he just had a kid with his idol waifu so he's taking it easy. The guy won in life.
>became the biggest ace in the entirety of NJPW's history
>made them a shitload of yen and attendance numbers
>marries Great O KWAB's idol waifu and has a kid
>makes Great O KWAB seethe
>cons a dumb paki trustfund kid
It's great to be Okada
