One of the most decorated wrestlers in the history of Japan and the ace of New Japan Pro Wrestling, Kazuchika Okada has one of the best looking and believable move sets in wrestling. Here are Okada’s moves of DOOM!
Rainmaker
One of the most basic moves in wrestling history, Okada makes the clothesline look like a million bucks. There has been very few wrestlers that has had the success off of a move so simple in wrestling history.
Okada’s version of the move includes the ripcord movement where he spins you around by one of your arms, then connects with the clothesline.
He has put so many men down with this move and it is the move that cemented as one of the modern legends of Japanese wrestling.
DOOM Score: 5 out of 5
Money Clip
With the popularity of MMA, you see many wrestlers that never had a submission finisher or signature move, come up with a key submission move to use.
Most wrestlers that pop up with a submission move out of nowhere, tend to win a few matches with the move, then it fades away. They are very rarely an actual threat.
I’ve seen Okada do the Money Clip multiple times over the few years, and while it is fine, it isn’t the best looking submission. It looks realistic so he gets points for that, but the move itself is completely unneeded.

Tombstones
I put the plural on this one because he does it in a number of different ways. This is a move that The Undertaker made popular but has been done by many other wrestlers over the years.
I have a personal love/hate relationship with this move also. I have seen so many wrestlers, especially on the indies, try to add a little more onto the move and turns a usually safe move into something unsafe.
I’ve never seen Okada do this move where I think that it is unsafe. My favorite way that he does this move is his spinning tombstone.
He rarely finish matches with this move but it still looks impressive whenever he does it.
