With the news that Kazuchika Okada is leaving New Japan, Jim Valley talks to AEW Collision color commentator Kevin Kelly, who’s worked for New Japan and WWE, about what the future may hold for The Rainmaker.

Kevin offers a unique perspective on Okada’s strengths and whether or not he feels Okada could hold down a long interview segment to open a North American wrestling TV show. Kevin also gives his thoughts on Japanese wrestling, New Japan, management, its archaic one-year contracts, and why he thinks Hiromu Takahashi should be pushed to the top of the card and Desperado should be the top junior heavyweight. It’s a great interview. Lots of insight. You’ll definitely want check it out.
