I don’t know why we would need to compare 30 year old Hangman to 30 year old Kenny when Hangman is simply having better matches as AEW champion than Kenny did.

An American TV wrestler like Kenny Omega can entertain you with his goofy weekly character antics, but when it comes to the bouts themselves, he can’t hold a candle to “Hangman” Adam Page

I love Hangman but no. Kenny Omega is a once in a generation wrestler. He was having some of the best matches of 2021 despite being really busted up.

Hangman has had a good year and reign but he's not running away with wrestler of the year like Okada and Omega did the years they won it. He'll get votes and should but it's a wide open race that could be won by anybody (like say CM Punk)

if the previous Omega and 60-min Bryan match happened in 2022 I'd say he'd be on the level for this year, but right now he's got the two Cole matches and the excellent Lance Archer deathmatch, it'll take a whole lot more to go nuclear. I feel like someone else will have a better year over the next 7 months but it doesn't seem impossible at all for Hangman to have another 6 or 7 bangers to make the case.

What's weird is that Okada is managing to have a year that's great but under the radar somehow. I think because (for me at least) none of them have hit the absolute heights you might expect from the Rainmaker, but it's just the sheer consistency. I have 3 matches at ****½ & 4 at ****¼, plus another 3 I gave HM nods to (1 **** & 2 ***¾). I haven't gone through all my results to see if anyone else beats that (Go has a *****, a ****½, 4 ****¼, 1 **** & 4 ***¾ so I might give him the edge because of that 1/1 match but it's very close anyway) but regardless, I just haven't seen Okada get nearly the "he's having a WOTY kind of year" chatter that his year probably warrants. Especially with a G1 to go & at least 1 more title defence.

Kenny is the G.O.A.T. , nobody compares to him. Sorry if some fat 40 year old packed more people into some barn in the 70's, but none of them could go like Kenny.

Ibushi's spirit in DDT is currently being channeled by Takeshita's stablemate Ueno, who recently got lost walking down a single street in the city he lives in, trying to get from the gym to the corporate office

Okada's hurt both by New Japan still being cool and ZSJ's New Japan Cup run just being that good .
