Tony Khan Compares Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega To ‘The Godfather’
Tony Khan has high praise for Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada.
“The Godfather” is heralded by many as being one of the greatest movies of all time, and Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada is viewed as one of the greatest wrestling matches of all time. Tony Khan certainly sees the perfection in both.
“It’s something to me where, when I watch ‘The Godfather’ and I think it’s so perfect, and I can watch it over and over, and then, they actually went out and managed to make a movie in ‘Godfather II,’ of the same standard that complements the original. They go together so well. That’s the rivalry between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada. They made this incredible, incredible match that, to me, is like ‘The Godfather,’ it’s the perfect match, and then they have gone out with their rivalry and managed to maintain that level of perfection and do something that is not repetitive, it’s complementary. That is the standard of Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega,” he said on Markin Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze.
No word if Tony thought Omega vs. Okada III was to the same standard as “The Godfather III.”
While the first four Omega and Okada matches took place in NJPW, the fifth one happened at AEW All In 2025.
