A current AEW champion has commented on his retirement. This star has confirmed that he's not retiring.Kazuchika Okada may be one of the very best professional wrestlers in the world. After a massively successful run in NJPW, Okada moved to AEW, where he found instant success. Okada currently holds the AEW International, Continental, and Unified Championships. Given that Okada has been around for a long time, talks about his retirement are starting to pop up.During an interview with NJPW, Kazuchika Okada spoke about his retirement. The Japanese star confirmed that he's nowhere near retiring yet, but is aware that day will come sometime."My retirement? I mean I’ve been around to be in NJPW and see people come and go, and then for me to leave as well, it says how much of a career I’ve had already. I don’t think I’m anywhere near retiring yet, but I am aware that day will come some time. Maybe I should ask Tanahashi to be my final opponent? Oh wait he’s finishing up. (laughs)" [H/T NJPW]AEW star Kazuchika Okada commented on the influence Hiroshi Tanahashi had on his careerBefore signing with AEW, Kazuchika Okada wrestled for NJPW for several years. During this time, he competed against some of the top stars in the promotion. One of his biggest rivals was Hiroshi Tanahashi. The two of them battled several times over the years, that it's hard to discount the influence one had on the other.During the same interview, Kazuchika Okada acknowledged the impact Hiroshi Tanahashi had on his career."Yes. If it wasn’t for that first Osaka match, or if it wasn’t Tanahashi in that match then the Rainmaker wouldn’t have become what the Rainmaker was. Everybody would always say those matches were great. I do think in the end if you talk about the Rainmaker without mentioning Tanahashi, there would be a big hole there. He’s essential to everything about what the Rainmaker has been." [H/T NJPW]It will be sad to see Kazuchika Okada hang up his boots when the time comes.
