Nu Japan fan here. These guys were both being rejected a few years ago, right?

Not Okada only Naito. They hated his good guy act.
Either be stoic like old or heelish or cool.
>>2998468
Naito def. was being rejected by the fans. He had to go to Mexico and repackage himself before he ever got over.

I remember hearing people weren't really hot on Okada at first. Maybe not to the degree Naito was rejected.

Not really on Okada. Tanahashi hate more hate in one of old runs and one before pre Bushiroad.
Older male fans don't like pretty boys, girls and teen boys and kids don't mind.
Okada only has blonde hair which isn't offensive.

Considering he was a heel at first I would hope they weren't hot on him, but they ended up cheering him hard before he even turned.
But now it's gotten to where he is too popular and too respected so the smarks online have to be contrary and try to find ways to complain about him and somehow say he had nothing to do with the boom in NJPW's business.

He was face when pushed in singles. He got kicked out of then heel Chaos.
>>2998643
I think Okada works face and heel equally as well.
>>2998650
He worked heel tendencies until his Tanahashi feud where he slowly turned full face.
>>2998665
Yes he was using slight heel tendencies this tournament, not sure why, maybe to give him a reason for his downfall, arrogance or boredom or something, I dunno.

He was booed during around his first g1 win. Only ever got over being a cool heel during his new heel group.
There are no real heels however.
