AXS TV: Tetsuya Naito vs. Okada [c January 04, 2014
Let's start off with the opening interview that starts every AXS TV show. Okada says that Naito doesn't deserve a title shot, and that when he was challenging for the belt there was greater interest in the match.
He explains that this is why the Intercontinental Championship main evented the show and his match went 2nd.
In sum: he excrements all over Naito's talent and then further excrements on him by saying that is devaluing the World Title. Priceless!
And this reinforces my initial perceptions of Naito. Dude is a nobody. He's Rugged Ronnie Garven, Bob Holly and Fit Finley.
Naito
It devalues the belt having Naito battle Okada. At the open of the show you can see the difference between the two. Okada stands like a champion and he wears the belt like a champion.
Even the announcers admit that Naito is an underdog.
Real Talk: It would be the equivalent of having Roman Reigns go up against the Rock when he was still in his prime.
I'm new to NJPW, as you all know, but Naito is a real basic dude. He is on some Ricky Morton excrement with his whack ass hip tosses and arm bars.
They claim that he's a high flyer but there's nothing impressing about him. If you watch, check out his Tornado DDT. IT is slow, plodding and uninteresting.
His best moment in the match is when he trades punches against Okada...he uses his head, and then Okada uses his feet.
Okada
Dude, Okada has to slow down so that he doesn't outshine Naito. So far every Naito match that AXS broadcasts show an opponent that must change their style to accommodate this bum.
It's not one of his better matches, but peep out his Slingshot Swanton bomb. It caught me by surprise.
