John from Cincinnati Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1 hour ago, Gordi the former AEW fan said: Even if The Rainmaker ends up on Netflix Pro, it'll be interesting to see if WWE can do a better job running back the 2014 MOTY (Okada vs Shinsuke) than they did with the 2026 (NJPW) MOTY (Shinsuke vs Styles). It would be a fun referendum on how much things have really improved since Mania 34. Getting back into WWE for Punk purposes has me reckoning with the fact that they’ve handled Gunther very well. And a wrestling podcaster with some connections has suggested that the WWE pitch for Okada is “Gunther with subtitles.” Not sure old rematches are the metric for success. But I think I know what Okada in AEW looks like, whereas there’s a curiosity factor with WWE. Spoiler If we’re considering the health of the industry first, he’d still be in Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
