Kazuchika Okada leaving NJPW

[Smart Marx]

I am ruling it out because it's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. a 10+ year veteran who has won 4 g1s and 7 wolrd titles does not need NXT. Fucking Jade skipped NXT, I respect your opinion, but nah, this is just a dumb idea if they try that and they will rightfully get lamblasted by a lot of fans

Jade’s training at the PC. Which is part of the NXT system.

And all right, I can’t control your emotions. IMO, NXT has seen some great matchups with many former talented wrestlers so if he did go I don’t think it would be the end of the world, personally.

Now to be clear, I do think he should skip it and debut at the Royal Rumble or something big like that.

Anything is possible.

Nakamura and Bobby Roode spent a year in NXT and they were established veterans at the time

comparing Okada to these two is respectfully laughable - there's level to this shit

Okada is AJ level imo so that should be that tbh

I disagree with pretty much everything you said, there's not a single matchup I would give a fuck about in NXT and I think most fans of Okada would tell you the same. Okada does not need to train nor does he need to waste his prime years in NXT. Outside of Dragunov there is not a single person is nxt even close to being on his level and it would be a massive step down.

You don't get Okada to not run him in the main event, that's a waste of everyone's time.

I agree he is, but AJ and by extension OC are literally the only ones. It’s incredibly rare.

The excuse is always they need to learn the cameras and WWE style or something.

 

[Smart Marx]

It’s also not 2015 anymore. Even if he did go, it would probably be like 3 months tops.

I would say even higher, but I agree with your comparison for this debate of starting on the main roster.

also nak and owens never go to current nxt, its not a super indie anymore.

that's 3 months too many

 

[Comrade Khan]

you start him in NXT you're telling the world he's not good enough to start on the main roster. that's not a good look

Fair enough. Like I daid, I can’t control how you feel.

I just think raging about how WWE does business Eli’s a bit futile, personally. I don’t even think he would be there long, regardless.

But, yeah last thing is I was gonna say not even Ilja? Lol glad you mentioned him.

I feel your perspective, but that’s not how WWE sees it. They see it as training people in the WWE way of doing things.

Now don’t get me wrong. I think having a WWE way of doing things is stupid.

 

[Comrade Khan]

either way I'm not seeing any of this reported on more reputable sites, so I'm not gonna bother getting any more debaty about it because I personally think it's bullshit lol

This is fair lol

And again, I only commented because the report specifically said he was going to NXT.

one can state their opinion without it being reduced to ''emotions''

I think it's a stupid and insulting idea, emotions have nothing to do with it, so please, don't reduce my valid points to an emotional reaction. People should be allowed to think something is fucking stupid lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

but seriously, people have to stop comparing Okada and Nakamura.

We all love Nak. But Okada is Roman Reigns level talent and Nak is like, at best a Finn Balor. The only thing they have in common in they are Japanese and were world champion in NJPW. Nakamura was never, ever the face of the company. He wasn't even on Tanahashi's level of importance.
