“Marking Out with MVP,”<\/a> Khan said that the matches between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada in Recent Japan Pro-Wrestling remind him of a classic pair of movies.<\/p>\n“It’s something to me like after I watch ‘The Godfather,’ and I feel that, ‘That is so perfect and I could watch this again and again and yet again,'” Khan said. “After which they really went out and managed to make a movie with ‘Godfather 2’ of the identical standard and that enhances the unique \u2013 they go together so well. That is the rivalry between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada.”<\/p>\n
To this point, Omega and Okada have wrestled five singles matches. The primary 4 took place in NJPW in 2017 and 2018, and the 2 then followed it up in AEW last 12 months, wrestling their fifth singles bout at All In Texas. As of at once, they’re tied at two wins a bit and one time-limit draw. In response to Khan, each match was as exciting as the unique.<\/p>\n
“They made this incredible, incredible match that, to me, is like ‘The Godfather.’ It’s the right match,” he continued. “After which they’ve gone out and with their rivalry, they’ve managed to take care of that level of perfection and do something that is just not repetitive, it’s complementary. And that’s the standard of Kazuchika Okada and Kenny Omega.”<\/p>\n
