GFW Profiles Okada
In the continued build to this week’s Wrestle Kingdom 9 show promoted by New Japan Pro Wrestling and Global Force Wrestling, the GFW website recently profiled Japanese wrestling star Kazuchika Okada. Writer Steve Te Tai wrote the following:
If you’re building a roster for your “dream” promotion, look no further than Kazuchika Okada. He has all the ingredients of a franchise talent and future legend. The chiseled features of a movie star, an athletic physique, elite in-ring ability, a unique look, charisma to burn, and of course that “it” factor that draws all eyes to him.
He has crossover appeal in Japan, where he appears at various sporting events, talk shows, high-end fashion photo shoots, commercials for popular kids games and toys. And the best part is, he just turned 27, and is just getting started. He is one of the “Big 3” for New Japan along with Tanahashi and Nakamura, and one half of your main event for Wrestle Kingdom 9 live on pay-per-view in North America brought to you by Global Force Wrestling.
