Kazuchika Okada says he does not hate TNA.
Okada previously said he hates TNA, as he had an infamously sub-standard run in the company back in 2010 and 2011. His time there harmed the relationship between TNA and NJPW for several years, leading some fans to assume that Okada would never return. But the former world champion competed at TNA Snake Eyes on January 14, as the promotion has begun a new era.

“Thank you. Many people ask me, ‘Why you hate TNA?’ But I don’t hate TNA,” Okada said. “Thank you, TNA. TNA made me…not Rainmaker. But good thing for me. Thank you, TNA. Thank you everyone.”
