NJPW: The Path of Glory - Kazuchika Okada’s V11 Road!

[@Henshingod]

The greatest title reign in the history of wrestling, period. Nobody has been able to do it as long, as consistently as Okada.

[@gregoryjoseph6883]

Eric Jones Its like you forgot about the guy he's about to face.

[@igorfigueira5747]

Gregory Joseph but tanahashi naver had the number of high quality matches okada had

[@gregoryjoseph6883]

Igor Figueira Even if he is somewhat a step down of Okada in terms of quality, Okada never carried an almost dying wrestling company back into prominence.

[@Ziomeq57]

I'd say Kenta Kobashi with the GHC Heavyweight Title.

[@firzenfire990]

I've seen all Kobashi's defence match during his reign. Actually only about half of those are really good and interesting matches. Legendary reign indeed but not as good as Okada's.

[@freakzeke6404]

The man on top of the pro wrestling world

[@eljuniorcen2675]

Freak Zeke yesss

[@nelkam5543]

Greatest title reign I've ever witnessed as a fan! And now he's gonna add another 5 star match to his belt with his next match with Tanahashi! Truly an icon.

[@infernofireboy6861]

Cant wait to okada vs tanahashi one more time.. another 5 star classic

[@anibal3098]

Meltzer gave it 5.5 D:

[@infernofireboy6861]

Anibal Gomez that seem about right

[@anibal3098]

Are you rigth with Meltzer?

[@infernofireboy6861]

@Elite Mangudai I wasnt counting how many they had I was saying I cant wait for them to face each other again for another 5 star classic

[@Sarcopagusmonster]

Everywhere he goes it rains.....and it pours!!!!

[@Elitistangkevs]

RAAAAIIIINNNMAAAKKEEERRR!!!

[@naruhinatvplus]

A great reign as the IWGP Heavyweight Champion, i think there is a moment when you realize that is needed to have an end!

[@nathanwallace7177]

the #1 Pound-4-Pound best Wrestler in the World is looking to keep his status and his IWGP World title intact as he will attempt to secure V12

[@berugaslabor]

The difference in reign length though really stands out. Tana had his 12.th defence at 404 days meaning he had to defend the belt like every 1.5 month. Okada on the other hand will have his 12.th defence at 680+ days. I respect the hell out of both but Tana's schedule was clearly a lot more grueling.

[@giokhosasi]

Beruga der Erlöser and he's still push himself

[@Henshingod]

And that's a fair assessment. However Okada has seen New Japan through a new era of their expansion into western territories. For many newer fans of the product he has been the only IWGP champion they have ever seen, and is doing far more media appearances than Tanahashi ever did. Also look at the quality of his matches. Of Okada's defenses, all but two received ****+ from Dave Meltzer, with three equaling or ECLIPSING *****. That is insanity.

[@lupinvash3]

At that time, there’s also the fact that there were title defenses for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in November (Power Struggle) and December. Not anymore.

[@ello7897]

Also in September (Destruction) but now there's only one after the G1 at KOPW

[@lorenzomendiola5348]

There's a difference tho. Okada has been put through hell in each defense. He had to survive Omega's Offense, Suzuki's Submission offense, Shibita's Dangerous strong style moveset, omega again but to a 1 time limit draw, and mostly anymore dangerous strikers. In a way, okada is surviving more

[@jeiyerossjayhmessagacortz2379]

It truly was the pinnacle moment of Okada's career

[@juice9100]

Been an amazing 11 defenses

[@jeiyerossjayhmessagacortz2379]

Yo the matches between Okada against Omega was extreme both wrestlers really want the title

[@h.m.2713]

[@MohlaVarun]

Because the fan's can boo their top guy & they won't be muted for that

[@themaddogofcrenshaw7367]

Looks like we've found the bandwagon section. If you weren't watching NJPW before the year 2013, you have NO right to say "As always NJPW > WWE. Every wrestling promotion just like most businesses have their peaks and valleys, and you just started watching NJPW during their peak. You CAN NOT honestly tell me that NJPW the company that was voted "Worst Wrestling Promotion in the World" two years straight, the company that nearly declared bankruptcy multiple times through the late 90s and 2000's was a better promotion than WWE was when those were arguably some of their best and most memorable years. You would be lying if you said NJPW was better

[@afiqFPS]

BJ Golden...

[@bassican7]

Seeing this video reminds me of many others I have not seen him defend the IWGP heavyweight belt against. Many others I want to see him fight to see who’d beat him. Tama Tonga, Juice Robinson, Switchblade, Ibushi, Lance Archer, Jay Lethal. Hell I even want to see him vs Pentagon.

[@LeonardoXDiCaprio]

I hope Okada beats Tanahashi and calls out Kota Ibushi setting up a match at Dominion

[@ello7897]

I would like to see Kenny vs Tanahashi tho

[@tellder1]

Notoriété Manjeurdanfan Kenny won't end his feud with Cody until at least Bullet Club funded PPV called All In.

[@mhd1442]

It's the only possibility. Imagine Ishii tho...

How about that Rainmaker to ZSJ though? Lmao

[@eljuniorcen2675]

That match was beautiful.

[@kevinwatson4814]

One of the greatest wrestlers to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. CM Punk’s reign as WWE champion isn’t even close to Okada’s reign as IWGP heavyweight champion.

Got real sad at the V4 mark 😥

[@zeshanrahman8849]

Okada is one impressive wrestler that’s for fucking sure. But I wanna see him butt heads with a few WWE heavy weights such as Lashley Brock Drew and Roman. Just leave it to them to put in a show. I think Okada vs Drew would be a fckin master piece of wrestling.

[@levinaqilatifal5894]

the best wrestling in njpw is okada

Why Indian wrestlers not in aew

[@finsfan1376]

So ok Okada has been champion for what 705 days and he's had 12 successful title defenses? That's like 1 defense every 58 days or so! Someone please explain he only defends it every 2 months?

[@kenmarkollano5795]

The shows aren't as frequent

[@sumakamath8175]

Better than what Brock was doing though

[@yogapratama6541]

On dominion that match end draw is that count as v6?

[@infernofireboy6861]

That draw wit kenny omega at dominion shouldnt count as a victory

[@alext5340]

I saw that too in the video but a draw still gives an advantage with individual holding the belt

[@Imnotevenhuman]

It doesn't count as a victory but it counts as a succesful defense

[@tstchief7763]

kavon brown champion's advantage

[@josephholiday8704]

I see it more in the context of he successful retained the championship

[@LeonardoXDiCaprio]

Okada next victims should be V12 Hiroshi Tanahashi = Wrestling Dontaku V13 Kota Ibushi = Dominion V14 Kenny Omega = G1 Special USA V15 Jay White = King Of Pro Wrestling

[@giokhosasi]

Leo Star i agree with jay because he promised to take that belt someday

[@LeonardoXDiCaprio]

Giovanny Khosasi i don't want Jay White to win it i want him to fall victim in okada defense the person who should beat Okada should be Naito at the Tokyo Dome in 2019

[@giokhosasi]

Leo Star i agree but don't really thinking about it... new japan always unpredictable so anything can happen

[@LeonardoXDiCaprio]

Giovanny Khosasi that would be a dumb idea if Okada lose to Jay White. This is the greatest championship reign in the history of wrestling the only place for him to drop should be in front of 40K plus people in the Tokyo Dome

[@giokhosasi]

Leo Star i'm not say that for jay but for everyone

[@yosafatsurya1082]

In My Alternate Reality OKADA play in serveral Wrestling Company and Earn Championship Title like: ∆ ROH - ROH World Television Championship - ROH World Tag Team Championship ∆ REVPRO - REVPRO British Heavyweight Championship ∆ PWG - PWG World Championship ∆ CMLL - CMLL Middleweight Championship ∆ DRAGON GATE - Open The Dream Gate - Open The Triangle Gate ∆ DEFIANT - DEFIANT Internet Championship He also improvized his character, language (english & spainish), and add new move to his moveset like • Kneecap Brainbuster • Blockbuster • Enzuigiri • Bicycle Kick • Sharp Shooter • Leg Ankle Lock into Reverse Kneebar • Combination Strike Man he will be G.O.A.T in Proresu World😇😁

[@blinkbernardino3135]

[@Luisknowstooons]

Okada technically has had 10 victories I mean do we have to watch okada and Kenny again to prove it

[@dcoker9738]

ChiefLuis103 it still count as a successful title defense

[@amrwrestler4525]

At dominon he retained the title but not won the match same wit omega does it still count.

[@spyros219]

His reigh has to end.I Hope that it will be Omega the one who will finally do this.

[@LeonardoXDiCaprio]

Okada should drop the championship belt to Naito at the Tokyo Dome Show 2019

[@neighslayer768]

I'm calling it. IWGP heavyweight championship: Okada vs. Omega at Fighting Spirit Unleashed. They need to fill the Cow Palace somehow.

[@musa4574]

The final Rainmaker on ZSJ was crap.

[@ello7897]

He sold his arm

[@RainSennin_ismyAlt]

Want Tanahashi to win. Why? If Tanahashi wins, Naito can take the belt off him and then Okada would win the G1 and face Naito for the third time at WK. Naito wins then finally has his year... Okada's still 30 and he has more than a decade to break records so I think they should let him tie Tanahashi for now.

[@幸雄田中-p7r]

レインメ−カ−で来年の1.4東京ド−ムで奪われたシングルのベルトをヒゲのはえて汚く口うるさいチャンピオンから奪い返して欲しい｡あのチャンピオンイチイチうるさいから。ついでにセコンドにいるメリケンサックをしているもう一人ねヒゲのはやしてうるさいセコンドもまとめて

[@robertmccauley754]

Okada will lose to Minoru Suzuki at WK13. Remember this.

[@lupinvash3]

Robert McCauley I just hope at some point before he retires, Suzuki will finally get the belt.

[@musa4574]

I think Naito will beat him, I don’t know when though.

[@igorfigueira5747]

Suzuki doesn't need the Belt. The belt needs Minoru suzuki

[@muzhmox9]

Update: okada lost the belt to kenny at dominion....kenny lost the belt to tanahashi

[@RainSennin_ismyAlt]

He did lose... but to Jay White LMAO

[@artb7338]

Yes i am down to see okada vs tanahashi but we all know whats going to happen. Okada will win and break or tie or whatever tanahashis record for defenses. Im sorry but okada is not bruno samartino. He shouldnt even have been champ this long. Hes like cena. Just let him have the championship however long he wants. Okada needs to lose and it needs to be to someone that excites the world. Maybe suzuki or a returning shibata. Honestly it shouldve been kenny about a year or 2 ago but now hes lost his mojo.

[@f7city86]

art b dont you think naito can take the belt too?

[@zulfikranzulmos4066]

He maybe the best wrestler but not a good technical wrestler..

[@jesusmosqueda991]

Matt Larsen 5star classics and you still complain, go watch raw

[@mattlarsen4970]

I mean it in the most respectful way, I want someone else to be champion now. Naito or Kenny would be ideal and have Okada go after the IC title for a little while

[@garytucker3563]

True. It has to end somewhere, but Okada is their man so until then, make it rain RRRRAAAAAAIIINNNMMMAAAKKKEERRRRRR!!!!
