Okada Explains Why He'll Never Go To The WWE, Says TNA Wouldn't
Let Him Wrestle

NJPW star Okada has long been linked to rumors of a possible WWE
deal. Despite this, Okada, who formerly appeared in TNA, has
been steadfast in his allegiance to New Japan Pro Wrestling. The
move has paid off, as he looks to be the biggest star in the
company for the next decade or so.
Okada isn't oblivious to the rumors, and spoke to Rolling Stone
recently about why he hasn't shown any interest in joining the
world's biggest wrestling promotion.
"I like doing the shows with Ring of Honor, but I don't want to
leave Japan. I'm not interested in WWE at all. Many people ask
me about WWE, and if I'd go to WWE in the future. They ask me if
I'm going now. I will not go. I want to make New Japan
Pro-Wrestling bigger. That's my future," Okada said.
Okada noted the New Japan/Ring of Honor relationship, which has
blossomed this year. The two agreed to promote joint shows in
both the United States and Japan for 2016, and the relationship
has already seen Okada make several trips to America to perform.
He sees this as a stark contrast to his time in TNA, where he
says they limited him.
"I didn't get to wrestle at all in TNA. I wanted to wrestle, and
they wouldn't let me. Here, I can wrestle against great
wrestlers," Okada explained.

That was weird run in TNA. Strange how they gave Sanada such a
strong push, but Okada nothing. I suppose that's the difference
between bookers then and now in regards to international talent.
Doesn't help he was smeared between guys like Russo, Hogan, and
Bischoff.

Yer I think it comes down to who the Booker is and what they
have planned for the person too .. His run was a wast of time .
But he is a top star in Japan
