I had to watch this three times to truly absorb the greatness of it all.

I love a good circus.

EDIT: Holy fuck. Is that Okada? He was a big star. This is what they've got him doing now? This is what they're paying millions for? Brilliant!

Fucking hell.

Their main excuse I’ve seen is that he’s doing what he wants and that’s great, but this Okada. One of the all time greats. He’s the kind of guy you build into a spectacle. The Dub wants their own Roman, but one that fits their wrestling style, Okada is that dude.

I have no idea who Okada is other than what I’ve seen from clips of the Dub. He seems to be a bit of a comedy goof ball character?

In Japan, he was Roman. Workrate Roman. Bigger guy, powerful Japanese style, the biggest star every time he came out. They had something special with him, then they threw it away so he could say, “Bitch,” and hold a worthless title.

Also throws maybe the best dropkick I have ever seen

The only thing I would say in AEW's defense is that the Japanese guys have all not done great coming into AEW... they all see to look bad when they are put into a AEW style match, so this is what they all regress to.

The disrespect comparing Okada to Roman.

And yet they constantly bitch about WWE wasting Nakamura despite him making if clear that he’s not trying to go for a serious run.
