Now the World title result is even stupider.

His time will come. Maybe they have something big in plans, who knows. WK7 was not the beginning of 2013, it was conclusion to 2012, so it makes sense to protect your Ace, to give him a final rub. Again. But hey, this is his age.

Fantastic news about Okada staying with NJPW. Hopefully his time will come again soon.

[Seabs]

He really should have won at WK, regardless of having your babyface ace finishing the show off as champion. It's not often that there's a time where someone HAS to win the title but Okada HAD to win the title there. Hopefully it doesn't the crowd getting behind him as much as they were doing.

YES @ Okada staying put! He surely knows he has an awesome future there. I'm sure everyone will still be as behind him as they were before. Hopefully anyway.

this right here. By losing Okada has lost the buzz that made him the hottest wrestler on the planet. I just hope the damage isn't irreparable.

He'll be fine. Certainly didn't benefit him losing at Wrestle Kingdom, but the kid is so hot that he HAS to bounce back. Right?

Looking at the length of Okada's reign, the number of title defenses he had and the story, it is bad that he didn't win.

[Obfuscation]

The fact he virtually had the best match of 2012 vs Naito makes his only 3 months or so reign ok in my books. Very confident in his future of course. How could I not be.

[Ham and Egger]

So he lost at WK7 for nothing??? He had one of the best builds going into a big match ppv and was over as fuck only to have him job....
