With New Japan Pro Wrestling returning to Long Beach, CA, for the second straight year, it was a perfect time for our Dave Meltzer to take the drive and meet up with IWGP Champion Kazuchika Okada for a 48-minute in-person interview, recorded Friday.
Dave and Okada talked about Okada’s career, his unforgettable series of matches with Kenny Omega, the company’s return to Long Beach, and plenty more.
At Sunday’s Strong Style Evolved show on AXS TV, Okada teams with Tomohiro Ishii to take on Zack Sabre Jr. and Minoru Suzuki. Sabre will challenge Okada for the title on April 1st.
Note that you’ll hear Dave, Okada, and Okada’s interpreter on the show.
