On the most recent episode of his “Tuesday with the Taskmaster” podcast, Kevin Sullivan shared his thoughts on how AEW can enhance the presentation of Kazuchika Okada following his arrival.
Sullivan suggested having a manager to further elevate Okada’s presence on television. He said,
“I think he’s very, very talented. I would say he’s up there in the top ten for the talent, right now. If his English is poor or non-existent, do you think he’d be better served if he spoke Japanese and they had crawls on the bottom? How do you put him over and yourself over in a two-minute interview? How do you elevate him to your level? And this isn’t a bad thing, it’s great to have great talent, but they better be looking for a slick-talking manager for him … You better protect your investment and you better find somebody that compliments him, and that’s only his job to get Okada over, not splitting it. Come on, let’s put it under a microscope and turn it in and dial it in.“
