Omega opinions Roman’s reign.
For a time from 2020-21, Kenny Omega and Roman Reigns had been the highest performers of their respective promotions.
Extensively thought of two of the highest performers of their period for his or her unbelievable mixture of compelling storytelling, faction-building, and in-ring motion, Omega and Reigns had been in a position to maintain a number of championships on the prime of their respective playing cards and helped to outline the way forward for their promotions with their eventual losses too, with the previous establishing the eventual feud between “Hangman” Adam Web page and CM Punk that modified AEW eternally, whereas the latter arrange Cody Rhodes to change into the highest man in WWE along with his burgoning storyline with The Rock.
Whereas few followers will instantly examine Omega and Reigns one-on-one, what do the duo take into consideration one another as champions and performers? Properly, whereas we do not know Reigns’ tackle Omega in 2024, the “Finest Bout Machine” gave props to the “Tribal Chief” for his time as champion in his unofficial WrestleMania evaluation on his Twitch channel, noting that he did his job “immaculately.”
“I believe Roman (Reigns) has been an unbelievable champion and firm spokesperson. I believe he did his job immaculately, and I believe it took plenty of guts and intestinal fortitude (for) him to stay with plenty of the backlash and hatred he acquired over time from followers and in any other case,” Kenny Omega defined on Twitch through Publish Wrestling. “He actually caught to his sport, upped his sport, acquired higher and higher with every efficiency, and I believe if it weren’t for his unbelievable development as a champion, you would not have had such an emotional finale to the latest WrestleMania. So I’ve the utmost respect for Roman. I believe he was the one of many biggest WWE Champions that you just simply wished to see somebody win the belt off of, which is essential. It is vital to wanna see your champion maintain the belt, however it’s additionally vital to have a champion the place you possibly can’t wait till somebody simply truly takes it off of ’em, you understand what I imply? So I believe in that regard, he was one of many biggest.”
Welp, there you go, people; not solely does Omega not have a problem with CM Punk, however he likes Reigns too, celebrating his efforts not solely as a champion within the ring however as a spokesperson for WWE. Ultimately, that form of objectivity deserves credit score from even essentially the most anti-AEW fan round.
Kenny Omega has love for Seth Rollins too.
Elsewhere on his Twitch stream, Kenny Omega commented on a number of the different huge wrestlers from WrestleMania 40, together with Seth Rollins, a performer many have in comparison with the “Finest Bout Machine” for years. Whereas some followers could take into account Rollins a poor ripoff of Omega or vice versa, in the long run, the duo haven’t any points between them, as they really got here up as associates collectively in PWG and Ring of Honor.
“And once more, being a fan of Seth (Rollins) and truly… not deliberately, however Seth and I’ve sort of very comparable kinds. I believe our outlooks to wrestling are fairly comparable too,” Kenny Omega defined. “Possibly slightly completely different now, however I keep in mind after we had been each doing our factor in PWG, and we traveled quite a bit collectively, truly, again within the Ring of Honor days. We had been all at all times hanging out collectively. I would form of discovered a little bit of kindred spirit slightly bit. We had very comparable music tastes. I used to be in fact slightly extra into nerdier stuff than Seth. I am an enormous gamer as you guys could or could not know. However no, we had been each very a lot invested into telling tales utilizing our pure athletic capability.”
Discussing the prospects of bringing a WWE star or two over to the G1 to check their mettle in New Japan Professional Wrestling, Omega named three performers he’d like to see in wrestling’s prime mettle-testing match on this planet, with Rollins making it onto the very unique checklist.
“I’ve mentioned it earlier than, I’ve mentioned it one million occasions. Ilja Dragunov could be one of the best man to have. He simply embodies that type,” Omega defined through EWrestling Information. “Gunther within the G1 could be precisely who’d you wish to see. You’d need to see one thing like that. And being a fan of Seth [Rollins, I’d love to see him compete.]”
, whereas Omega says he does not do a lot as an EVP, the prospects of throwing Dragunov, Gunther, and even Rollins into the ring with the likes of Zack Sabre Jr, Shingo Takagi, and even AEW performers like Omega, Kazuchika Okada, Jay White, and Jon Moxley – may you even think about? – could be a reasonably unbelievable sight to see. Will WWE ever let it occur? No, most likely not, however hey, it could be wonderful.
Kenny Omega was requested what WWE wrestlers he’d prefer to see within the NJPW G1 Climax.
