Kazuchika Okada: “I Was Chased By A Wasp. I Thought I Was Going To Die.”

Well at least we now know where Kenny Omega was going wrong when he was failing to defeat Kazuchika Okada during their epic series of matches between 2017 and 2018.

He didn’t have a wasp to help him.

Okada stands at 6ft 3ins and is the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion. I am none of those things, but at least we share a fear of wasps, and that makes me a feel a lot better.

Okada tweeted the following, and I am reliably informed that it says “I was chased by a wasp. I thought I was going to die.”

スズメバチに追っかけられた。
死ぬかと思った。

Mexican wrestler Dragon Lee offered his support to Okada, and once again I am informed that he said “Don’t be scared little guy”.

No tengas miedo chaparrito ??‍♂️?

Okada, if you’re reading this (he definitely is), just make sure you have soap and ice handy wherever you go in case you need to treat a sting.
