IWGP World Hvt. champion Kazuchika Okada is currently featured on two U.S. wrestling shows - Ring of Honor TV and AXS's presentation of the New Japan tape library shows.

Okada sees that as just the beginning of reaching a bigger American audience with the New Japan product.

"My dream is to bring a G1 tournament to the United States. I want to do a G1 in front of American crowds," Okada told Rolling Stone's Aaron Oster in a revealing interview.

Okada added: "I really appreciate ROH for letting me wrestle in the United States. American fans get to see me and get to see New Japan. Ring of Honor lets us do that. I love working in front of American crowds. When I do the (Rainmaker) pose, the crowd does it with me. I love that. The crowds don't do that in Japan. They respond a lot more in America."

Okada said ROH allowing him to be himself in front of U.S. audiences is much different his previous U.S. run in TNA. "I didn't get to wrestle at all in TNA. I wanted to wrestle, and they wouldn't let me. Here, I can wrestle against great wrestlers," Okada said.

Beyond ROH, though, is Okada interested in wrestling for WWE at this time? Okada strongly said no. He said he wants to be at the forefront of New Japan's relationship with ROH.

"I like doing the shows with Ring of Honor, but I don't want to leave Japan. I'm not interested in WWE at all. Many people ask me about WWE, and if I'd go to WWE in the future. They ask me if I'm going now. I will not go. I want to make New Japan Pro-Wrestling bigger. That's my future," Okada said.

Asked if he sees New Japan having a live weekly show in the U.S., expanding beyond the tape library show on AXS, Okada replied, "Yes, that's why I'm in New Japan. I'm the one that can bring that."

Okada also wants to get a Tokyo Dome victory over 2015 G1 Climax winner Tanahashi. The match is currently lined up for Wrestle Kingdom on January 4, 2016, this time in a reversal of IWGP World champion and G1 Climax winner from 2015.

"I have never beaten him at Wrestle Kingdom at the Tokyo Dome. I've lost both times to him. I want a big moment at the Tokyo Dome. I want a happy moment," Okada said.
