2023 is one of the greatest times to be a fan of professional wrestling. There is just an overabundance of excellent content from all companies, from WWE to AEW to Impact Wrestling to New Japan Pro Wrestling. However, the ace of NJPW Kazuchika Okada has a lofty idea to put everything together into a massive event – a Professional Wrestling World Cup.
Kazuchika Okada Wants To Run Pro Wrestling World Cup
While speaking with TokyoSports, NJPW ace Kazuchika Okada would pitch the idea for a Pro Wrestling World Cup.
“We had an all-star event before, but last year we had the World Cup (soccer), and this year we have the WBC (baseball) and the World Cup (rugby). It would be interesting to have pro-wrestling matches between different countries and have Japan represent Japan. The World Cup in soccer was interesting, and I think the WBC will be stimulating.”
Okada even said he would personally speak to Tony Khan of AEW and Triple H of WWE if he can get this idea rolling.
“I think there are such events overseas, but I don’t think there are any big tournaments. I think it would be fun to have a big event on a global scale. Maybe we could have a tag team with Okada and Shinsuke Nakamura, or Okada and Tetsuya Naito if they are asked to fight for their country. I don’t know if that would work. I think it would be interesting to include various groups. If necessary, I will go see AEW president Tony Khan and WWE executive Triple H. Even in this Tokyo Dome, there are AEW wrestlers such as Kenny Omega, WWE wrestlers Karl Anderson), and Mercedes Mone, who quit the WWE. Even New Japan is worldwide now, isn’t it? There are players from many different countries, so I would like to do something interesting. I feel like I really want to do it now that I’m talking about it.”
