Rocky Romero, the NJPW star, recently shared his thoughts on the Bryan Danielson and Kazuchika Okada matchup that took place at Forbidden Door 2 back in June. Despite Danielson suffering a broken arm during the match, Romero believes that the matchup was fantastic and that a rematch would make sense. Romero expressed his views during an episode of Keepin It Strong Style.
According to Romero, the match between Danielson and Okada left a lot more of the story to be told. He stated, “It’s unfortunate that Bryan broke his arm halfway through because obviously, it was still a great match, and what I do love though is the fact that with that ending, there’s more that you can do with that story, whether it be at Forbidden Door next year or wherever it goes. I feel like they haven’t hit their pinnacle yet. It was like the perfect first-time meeting. That’s exactly what a first-time meeting should be between two major wrestlers, and leave a little on the table, a little meat on the bone, so that you can really go in on the next one. I don’t know when that will be, but I hope that happens in the next year or so. Obviously, Bryan had a hard style, and I feel like it’s starting to catch up a little bit, so sooner is better than later.”
Romero also discussed why he believes the rematch should take place in Japan. He emphasized the significance of the Japanese audience and the unique atmosphere it provides. Romero said, “I would love to see that happen in Japan because they’ll just have so much more space to do what they want to do and how they’ll do it and how the fans will react. Forbidden Door is pretty special when it comes to fan reactions because it’s the most hardcore fans watching the product, who love both products or really love wrestling. Not to take away from that, but I feel like there’s something special about the aura of Japan and them meeting in Japan and how they would probably structure their match and do their match compared to how they would do it for an American crowd. So yeah, that would be nuts to have Bryan on a big show or Tokyo Dome or whatever, if it does happen.”
