Kenny Omega Joins Smackdown...

That's not Kenny Omega, That's Kenny Olivier

Can you guys name Omega's NJPW classics where he's not facing Okada though?

You didn't see his matches against Ishii, Goto, Ibushii etc?

 

[THE 101]

He is a total cornball as a character whose lucky break was entirely dependent on AJ Styles choosing to leave NJPW.

Because of his roided up explosive workrate he could actually hang with Okada, but his real second lucky break was that fool Meltzer giving their match 6 stars (clearly coming from all the ass kissing the Elite guys). Somehow instead of laughing Meltzer out of the building marks used that 6 star nonsense to push the narrative that Omega is the best wrestler ever and Gedo saw all that newfound attention as an opportunity to grow in the US market so he kept pushing him.

Then Omega won the belt, became complacent as fukk (surprise, he got carried by Okada more than anyone likes to admit) and eventually left for AEW. He clearly got off the round and was never the same again.

Well, except that he hasn't changed from being a cornball who can't cut a believable promo to save his life.

Still better than ZZZZZZANADA

Someone please explain the appeal of this guy to me. I've seen a few of his NJPW matches, and I've seen him for a year in AEW. He comes off as a cornball to me. I don't get it.

Yeah. I don't get it.

That'd actually be as hell if real
