Goodbye Okada, we’ll miss your shorts!
Pigs are flying, the sky is falling, Okada is leaving NJPW. We’re not really sure how to feel. We’re sad of course, but with New Japan it’s always NEXT MAN UP. And Nooj has a lot of great young talent on the come-up.
But how does the company we love NEXT MAN UP Ospreay AND Okada?And what are we going to do about our name??? For now tho…

1h 12m | Nov 10, 2023 - Okada's Shorts 55: WHO IS THIS FOR?!?!
Nooj has had some confusing booking lately. Do we love it? Do we hate it? The answer to both questions seems to be “yes.”
Is there a bigger picture problem here? Or is the thrust of New Japan’s current booking strategy, “You can’t please everyone all the time.”
Check out the latest episode where the boys try to break it all down and ask… Who is THIS for?
