Before he ever trained at the New Japan Dojo, Kazuchika Okada traveled to Mexico and enrolled in Ultimo Dragon’s Toryumon wrestling school as a teenager, wrestling across Mexico, Canada, and the United States as he honed his craft. Eventually NJPW would sign him and send him on excursion to TNA, where he’d have an infamously disastrous run where he...
Okada’s time with TNA wasn’t all for naught, as he learned the value of developing a gimmick for oneself, rather than “just” being a pro wrestler. As a result, he engineered a wrestling persona for himself, combining everything he learned in Japan, Mexico, and the US to become the swaggering Rainmaker.

Omega had been a known commodity in NJPW’s Junior Heavyweight Division when he officially signed with New Japan in 2014, but took a step further by joining the villainous gaijin faction Bullet Club.

When Okada lost the title, he was the longest reigning IWGP Heavyweight Championat 720 days, exceeding that of Shinya Hashimoto by nearly 230 days.
