Kazuchika Okada is a big soccer fan.
Okada is one of the most famous wrestlers outside of the WWE umbrella. He has had an incredible rise to being one of the best wrestlers in the world also. On Wednesday night’s Dynamite, Okada made his AEW debut, making a save on Hangman Page from Jay White and Adam Cole.
Tony Khan mentioned during the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door media call that Okada told him 17 times he was a Manchester City fan.
“For fun, he must have told me 17 times that he’s a Manchester City fan. [laughs]. I get it, Okada, you like Manchester City. He’s great. I really liked hanging out with him and I know I’ll be talking to him when Fulham plays Man City, which is a tough game, that’s the toughest game in the business. He’ll be letting me know what he thinks about that one. I hope Fulham can get a good result there. I always want Fulham to get a good result but now, I’d love to have some bragging rights with Okada, especially against, arguably the best football club in the world,”
