Like, let's be honest, if Kenny Omega was 10 year younger he'd be Kidd Bandit.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

True. Kenny Omega's entire early career was constant references to 8 bit and 16 bit gaming. He just happened to choose video games as his dominating gimmick and is still wrestlings Sephiroth.

I don't hate him as a person and I certainly don't want any harm to come to him and I'm glad he's getting past the recent bad times he's had. I just hope that someday he is able to find or create an identity for himself that doesn't revolve entirely around consumerist pop culture junk food. And I say that as someone who occasionally enjoys anime and manga.

I know we're making jokes at kid literally named Jojo but guys and girls this did start with him talking about struggling with abuse he'd been receiving as a queer Asian and how he was considering quitting from the stress of it all. The Kidd's alright.

I don’t think any wrestler should be judged by their race or gender or orientation. Judged upon whether or not they’re cringe, I refuse to take that off the table.

They’re gonna be working a show I’m going to in January and I’m gonna give ‘em an Evangelion tamagotchi because I respect how they’ve not just leaned into but deadass Naruto-sprinted into their love of all things weeb.

…on that note, is it weird to give wrestlers gifts? I gave Daniel Makabe a Cascadia soccer scarf but otherwise it’s not something I’ve done.

I hope it's not. But at one point, when they grow older than 16, they can no longer be a shonen protagonist and will start being a mentor until they reach their 20s. then they can start being the protagonist of a seinen.

Re: giving wrestlers gifts.

I went on a kinda mini spree of sending fanmail letters to wrestlers, and enclosing a footy card of a random AFL team, saying that now they have to barrack for that team.

So if Maki Itoh starts wearing a North Melbourne jumper to the ring, or Evil Uno starts singing the Hawthorn theme tune, you will know who to blame.

Tell them that all the Fight Island goons are raising their hands towards the sky, and giving them our energy for their match.

Team them up with Danhausen, and we’ll have the anime meet the cartoon.

As long as the gift isn't wildly inappropriate, it's fine. I gave Chuck Taylor a bottle of his second favorite whiskey as revealed on like, /woooooo/, my friend would give The Batiri Pop Tarts at every single show he was at with the team making an appearance because they always said in character how they were demons from Hell but the one good thing the mortal realm had was Pop Tarts, and I got Ultramantis Black a few boxes of Thin Mints.

Normally I'd just be like whatever, a weeb gimmick. But Kidd Bandit's self awareness is what does it for me. If you didn't see the recent match where they ran around the audience yelling "I'M PANDERING", it was pretty great.
