WWE legend criticized Tony Khan for signing Kazuchika Okada with a huge amount

Recently, a report circulated saying AEW signed Kazuchika Okada at nearly $14 million for three years. While the reports may not be accurate, WWE legend Eric Bischoff blasted Tony Khan for signing Kazuchika Okada for a huge amount.

Speaking on the 83 Weeks podcast recently, Bischoff stated the following:

"I know the Kool-Aid drinking, snaggletooth, hardcore fans are going to you know, rebel at what I am going to say, but it doesn't mean it's not right. Okada is, no one knows him. Outside of the hardest of hardcore wrestling fans, the Internet wrestling community, and those who worship the ground Dave Meltzer walks on, nobody knows who this guy is."

Meanwhile, Okada has started big with the AEW Continental title win right after his debut, and only time will tell what more TK has in store for The Rainmaker.
