To be fair, it was a really young Okada hadn’t become the rainmaker yet, but yeah they totally botched it and put him in a green hornet outfit. Lol.

 

[Chris]

Outside of making friends with like the Bucks and a few others Okada was miserable too I'm pretty sure, so his personal experience being relayed back to NJPW probably made it even worse

 

[Chris]

But yeah even with the change of management for both companies, that's why it was a big deal they even started working together again. There was also a deal where Jeff Hardy was fucked at a WK match or something too

 

[Chris]

They were working together solid before, Team 3D had been IWGP Tag champs and defended on Impact. Guys like Tanahashi had came over

 

[Comrade Khan]

fwiw Okada won the IWGP world title a little under a year after his last Impact appearance

end of Marc h2011 is when cagematch marks his last match as a manager, and he won the title at New Beginning in Feb 2012

that was Gedo's plan for awhile I think and why he was so mad at Impact

Thoughts on Collision is they should make it feel like a more high scaled more eyes on ROH.
