Kazuchika Okada Talks Madison Square Garden
2019 New Japan Cup Winner Kazuchika Okada recently spoke with NJPW’s english site. In the interview, The Rainmaker took a sly shot at IWGP Heavyweight Champion “Switchblade” Jay White, saying “He’s had tremendous momentum, and there’s perhaps an aspect of him still riding that momentum rather than building it more.”
However, he did say that momentum was a force of its own. “That momentum though, that force is amazing, and it’s a little scary to be honest. We don’t have a warm-up match to feel each other out either.”
Here’s what Okada had to say about wrestling in the main event of Madison Square Garden:
(NJPW) has been to America before, but those events have often had foreign wrestlers facing each other at the top of the card. It’s New Japan Pro Wrestling at the end of the day (…) being at Madison Square Garden isn’t just a big deal for New Japan, this is a huge deal for Japan, period. To have a Japanese wrestler, standing as the face of professional wrestling, there’s only one person for that spot, and it’s me.
