Wrestle Kingdom 11
Okada comments on the challenge presented by Kenny Omega:
“I haven’t wrestled as dangerous a guy as Kenny, so I needed to show my other face. I still suffered from pain in my neck from his One-Winged Angel maneuver to me on the table in December, so I wanted to try dangerous moves like Kenny.”
Okada says the right man won at Wrestle Kingdom 11:
“I should hold the IWGP title always. I will fight in many cities and many countries and earn my title on the next stage. I’m the best, not Omega. I love New Japan more than Omega, and I will continue to prove that.”
