Kazuchika Okada spoke with Rolling Stone for a new interview. Check out the highlights:
On wrestling for ROH vs. wrestling for TNA: “I didn’t get to wrestle at all in TNA. I wanted to wrestle, and they wouldn’t let me. Here, I can wrestle against great wrestlers.”
On a possible WWE run: “I like doing the shows with Ring of Honor, but I don’t want to leave Japan. I’m not interested in WWE at all. Many people ask me about WWE, and if I’d go to WWE in the future. They ask me if I’m going now. I will not go. I want to make New Japan Pro-Wrestling bigger. That’s my future.”
On if New Japan be popular in the US with a live weekly show like RAW: “Yes, that’s why I’m in New Japan. I’m the one that can bring that.”
On the G1 tournament becoming popular in the US: “It’s the biggest tournament in the world. Nobody else runs a tournament like it. Nobody has 20 of the best wrestlers competing in so many different matches. There is nothing like it in the world. My dream is to bring a G1 tournament to the United States. I want to do a G1 in front of American crowds.”
