Isn't Okada lowkey injured which is why he hasn't gone hard in the paint during this COVID Era?

I thought part of the reason he's been chilling is that Obvious Gedo Booking was him getting the belt back around the Olympics, and Big Rona blew all those plans up.

As for now, even if he isn't injured, it doesn't take a genius to see that whatever they had planned for this spring/summer probably isn't going off as planned. I wouldn't be thrilled for another four to nine months of bullshyt holding pattern Chaos tags because Gedo wants to wait a little longer.

Them figuring some shyt out with Impact/AEW/whoever to have some of their bigger stars cook over here for a bit might legit be for the best.

Is that Shota?

Is that Shota?

Yes

If he shows up on TNT as Mox's padawan at some point

Ibushi injured his foot at WK earlier this year. And he was still doing what we expect Ibushi to do in his matches. I'm not saying Okada lost a step, but I do think the lack of fans in the building, plus his bad back has him a little lethargic. I just wanted to see if Ospreay could spark something in him in the Tokyo Dome main event.

The G1 Climax will be in the autumn again this year because of the fukking Olympics.

Hope covid has slowed down by then and we'll get some foreign stars in it.
