For some reason today I'm feeling very excited about professional gamer and occasional pro wrestler Kenneth Omega. About a year ago I had a very similar feeling about the famously one legged wrestler CM Punk and nothing of interest happened so I was wondering if other people were feeling this way. If there are people reading this thread who feel the same way then perhaps we can use this space to relive our favourite Kenny matches/promos/interviews/etc. so we can have a fun day going over Kenny's highlights before turning in at an early hour because there's nothing decent on TV.

Had to start us off with this one:

Kenny Omega as a saturday morning cartoon villain:

Love him just kicking Nakazawa off the kart for his escape despite having plenty of room for him.

Kenny Omega does Mr. Burns

My favorite Kenny Omega memory happened on the Dynamite from August 17th of 2022 when the Young Bucks revealed who their trios partner was and then this music hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N86RPWjP8rk

Agreed but it was a bit weird that Brandon Cutler was using his music

Corgis love bread. And Puro


Jump in a time machine way back to 2014, Kenny Omega's last year in DDT before making the leap to New Japan as a full-timer. Golden Lovers win a 3 way tag match in January to tag the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Yankee Two Kenju & over the next 9 months they defend the belt 6 times & head to Korakuen to defend against Happy Motel, a team made up of 2 men who debuted just 2 years before: Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita. Endo is 23, Takeshita is 19, & here they are against the biggest team that DDT has ever had, Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega.

It's not the best Kenny match ever but it's a great one & it's from a period where DDT was a lot harder to watch, it features 3 wrestlers most AEW fans will be familiar with, & also it's fun seeing Golden Lovers working as the big veteran bullies.

I hope somebody has been out there telling Butch he's doing a real good job at the AEW Casino since Kenny went home :ohdear:

Omega & Hangman vs The Young Bucks is my favourite AEW match but also the best AEW match. Pretty impressive.

Also I really want him to join the Bucks tonight to continue my journey towards Idiot Kingdom and banning addressing all of my posting enemies.

Favorite moment is probably the Ibushi hug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q6NknbHNiQ&t=461s

But a very close second is him kicking out at 1 from the Buck's doing the Golden Trigger.

It's that or him being forced into giving Matt Jackson the OWA at one of the NJPW US shows. Although that second one might be more a Matt moment.

Real talk, one of the things that Kenny gets so well and I feel like so many other wrestlers don't is that the moves mean something and are a language in their own right. Just so loving good at understanding when to do call backs and poo poo.

I cried like a baby when the Golden Lovers reunited and hugged and pro wrestling doesn't do that to me ever. As a Queer wrestling fan its a special thing for me.

I got to Dynamite late so I knew Kenny was returning because I briefly saw Tranquilo Club's thumbnail on Youtube, but I still marked tf out anyway when it happened because I was just so goddamn happy to see him back. It just wasn't as fun without the ace.
