Okada = New Bret Hart?
By Scott Keith on 24 July 2024
Has any wrestler been this devalued this quickly since Bret jumped to WCW? Okada was the biggest star in NJPW for the last ten years and signed a huge contract to jump and in the last 5 months he won the 6th most prestigious belt in AEW and has joined the AEW equivalent of X-Factor. I'm sure he's happy because he's getting paid over 100k per singles match, but what kind of roi are you getting on this huge contract when his primary job is to say 'bitch' once a week? Schiavone does that for much less money and also has other duties.
I'm enjoying Okada and isn't everyone always bitching that Tony only throws guys out there to have great matches without any kind of story? I've seen Okada have a million great matches already, this is something new and fun for him and I'm glad he's clearly enjoying himself and if he's making insane money and it pisses Twitter warriors off at the same time, then that's just a bonus.
