Kazuchika Okada on Los Ingobernables De Japon, Younger Wrestlers

Kazuchika Okada spoke to New Japan Pro Wrestling on how he feels about younger wrestlers challenging him and Los Ingobernables de Japon.

On younger wrestlers challenging him:

“I think whatever field you’re in, you always need something new, always need change. That’s how something everyone loves and that’s what’s inspirational. I don’t want fans in the future to say ‘Okada was cool, but after that…'”

On the Los Ingobernables de Japon faction:

“Well, they’re certainly popular, there’s no doubt about that. You see LIJ shirts at all the venues, and even outside of wrestling on the street there are LIJ shirts and caps. They’re super popular. But as an actual team … I think they’re still a little too soft.”

He elaborates on what he meant by “too soft” previously:

“Well, generally speaking, they’re a young team. They should be really representing what the present and future of wrestling is, but I’m not sure that’s something they’re getting across to the fans. CHAOS aren’t as young as them, maybe we don’t beat them in terms of speed, but we have a lot more up our sleeves. That’s what makes us a great team.”

If you haven’t seen Okada perform, we highly suggest watching the following full match featuring Okada taking on Kenny Omega in their third bout in what many consider to be one of the best rivalries outside of WWE in wrestling history.
