Impact Wrestling regrets not utilizing the Okada services better and their mistreatment of the star soured the relationship between New Japan and Impact Wrestling.

Over the past few years, Okada has been a true revelation putting on five-star matches with different opponents while cementing his place as the true face of New Japan. The Former IWGP Heavyweight Champion also headline new Japan's biggest annual event wrestle Kingdom for four consecutive years running and is one of the biggest names on the planet.

The Rainmaker also became the first Japanese wrestler to top the PWI's 500 list in 2017 and is the longest reigning IWGP Heavyweight Champion in history.

Will Ospreay

Will Osprey is currently one of the best English wrestlers in the world. In the past few years, he has earned the reputation of being one of the best high-flying wrestlers. His matches with Ricochet for New Japan Wrestling have received critical acclaim.

He is a former Ring of Honor TV champion, IWGP junior heavyweight champion. Will is the first English wrestler to have won the IWGP junior heavyweight championship and the prestigious best of the super juniors tournament.

Osprey is already one of the best performers in the world and still has a few years left to truly hit his peak. Will is setting the world on fire while working on the Indies and would want to continue that for a couple of years before signing up with WWE.
