It's two things and neither are really his fault 1. He was injured beyond belief. We're talking neck, knees, shoulder, hernia, VERTIGO. You wanna say he wasn't the same, but he wrestled those Bryan and Hangman matches and had the Belt Collector run with goddamn vertigo. He deserves all the praise in the world for that. 2. His whole AEW run was about him wanting to put over Hangman. Since day 1 you could see it. He lost the big singles matches, tagged with Hangman and was then an unlikeable cowardly champion so that Hangman could be the hero of the story. So all in all, he hasn't been the same because he's been injured and selfless. He hasn't regressed as a wrestler one bit and the Ospreay match proved that he's still the Best Bout Machine

Okada's facial expressions when he is beat up or exasperated are amazing.

@AlwaysLookCool 729 Truth be told I had a lot going on. My brother had just died a week/2 weeks prior. Plus I get emotional about wrestling. When you're a fan of something for nearly 20 years you care about it. This rivalry I put up there with the greats. Kane v Undertaker, Rock v Austin, HHH v HBK, Generico v Steen, Punk v Cena, Tanahashi V Okada.

Possibly the best rivalry of modern times...

Kenny Omega is my favorite wrestler outside WWE🙂

Open the forbidden door 🚪 the wrestling world NEEDS this

And Okada will be back in the USA again this November. Maybe we see them together again through the forbidden door.

Thanks for the recounts!

Hands down my favorite rivalry in recent memory! Looking back at it, it still feels magical. I’m so glad I got to experience the journey that this rivalry was.

This is probably the most important Recount you can put out there. Great Work guys 😃

Awesome Video...I remember watching that first match and I was so emotional...It was all real.. Omega in his finest hr and greatest wrestler in world then and Now...Okada is God!

Both of these guys are excellent. Great matches , great story telling. Both of their finishers are also awesome. The one winged angel looks really devastating.

I remember I saw Okadas North American debut in Mississauga Canada for some small local indy promotion called UWA Hardcore wrestling. He came with Ultimo Dragon, Jushin Thunder Liger and a couple of other Japanese prospects. He did a few months for them, I didn't think he'd get as big as he did.

A masterpiece ..that final rainmaker hits so hard

The Greatest series of matches since Flair/Steamboat!! Epic matches! 5* classics every single one of them!!

You guys seriously deserve more audience, Wrestlers here are killing it

I love these videos. I grew up knowing of NJPW only thru the partnership w wcw and later some limited vhs tapes from traders. These videos help fans from the states(and other english speaking areas) get a sense for the history and big players of NJPW. Perfect for NJPW and its expansion plans.

I love New Japan and it's good that you're releasing videos that fill in the narrative threads for Western audiences. That said, the Showbuckle KZread channel was already doing this, and doing it much better. His videos kept me coming back to New Japan and it's a shame that NJPW have tried their best to purge his work from the Internet.

It's not just NJPW, but a more widespread issue with application of copyright laws in Japan. Many channels focusing on manga and anime have the same issue with the Japanese publisher taking down also some good content praising the works.

A thousand times yes to this content! This is how you get observers interested in how New Japan tells their stories with a legitimate big fight atmosphere as if it’s about to happen in the present day. So many possibilities to win people over with this format, the long story of Naito, Tanahashi vs Nakamura, Suzuki, Shibata, Prince Devitt, Nagata, Norton, Vader, Andre, Chono, Liger, Inoki. This is how people in the US understand how truly big these stars are to the world over, as well as shoot down the absurd notion said by ignorant casuals that there are no stories told in this company. It’s sometimes simplistic, but that doesn’t necessarily make it any less powerful. More ideas like this please! It addresses so many problems that come with international expansion and helps gives you further ways to invite the uninitiated to full blown fandom. Please sir, may we have some more?

AlwaysLookCool 729 One of the beauties of this idea is that it isn’t forced, or at the very least it doesn’t come off as such. Yes, you’re never going to win over everybody in general, but with this you’re going to make them understand which in turn will set up the foundation of emotional investment in the product that will only serve to grow in due time with patience. (ala a Paul Heyman sermon) Out of all the options they had for trying to expand through their KZread channel in the states, this is arguably their best decision in terms of the many possibilities that this could lead to. In the grand scheme of themes, what’s the harm of failure on this as well? Who could not be a fan of low risk, high reward situations? And sure while not everyone can be a fan of the stories they tell, it seems like WWE absolutes are driving away their fans through their ham-fisted way of storytelling or lack there of, New Japan will naturally want to pick up the pieces, and not everyone may like it, but try to watch Showbuckle’s videos and tell me that you’re not impressed with this style. Something tells me that this company truly listens to their fans...
