This week on Keepin’ It Strong Style, Jeremy Donovan and the “Young Boy” Joshua Smith break down the monumental announcement that Kazuchika Okada will be the opponent for Hiroshi Tanahashi’s retirement match at Wrestle Kingdom 20. The guys discuss the conversation surrounding the decision, why Okada was chosen, what it means for Tanahashi’s legacy, and how the choice compares to the heavily speculated Shinsuke Nakamura matchup.
They also take a look at New Japan Road in Anjo, focusing on the strong build to Tanahashi’s match with Yuto Ice and how the performance highlighted Yuto’s rising star potential. Jeremy and Josh discuss why Yuto could be one of the defining talents of the next generation and how matches like this shape the future of the company.
