In the latest episode of ABC's comedy Black-ish, the show references NJPW.

Black-ish's official Twitter shared a clip of Junior explaining to his father that he and his brother were trying to recreate "the classic Wrestle Kingdom Okada-Tanahashi match" and that's why there is a hole in the wall.

"Well we tried to recreate the classic Wrestle Kingdom Okada – Tanahashi match," Junior said. "I went for the Rainmaker and I accidentally threw him into the wall."

Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Miles Brown, and Marsai Martin. The show made its debut in 2014 and is currently in its sixth season.

NJPW star Kazuchika Okada did respond to the show. He retweeted the clip and wrote, "Thanks for the shout out @blackishabc"
