He could've surpassed Hansen.
He went fro wrestling guys on his level like Okada, Naito, Tana, Ishii, Ibushi every month to wrestling literal indie shitters who are 5-levels below him and he will have to wrestle down to their skill level, thus becoming complacent himself.
He had it all.
To be with his friends. Maybe he wanted to spend more time in the West.
but his best friend is in Japan and he claims to love Japan itself even gaining citizenship
I just don't get it. It's the wrestling equivalent of Nerman leaving Barca for PSG.
His carny "friends" worked him into going to an inferior company, in an inferior country to put on an inferior product. At least he probably makes more money for doing way less.
Greed and being a homo
Money.
i still can't get over that he was made that the company wouldn't make him THE GUY and just treated him on the same level as Okada. like nigga you work 1/3rd of the shows of okada be grateful
His boyfriend was in Japan
He got worked by Ultra Carny Cody
*he was mad
Things change.
Last year he was talking about staying for life and doing everything he could to expand in the west and then Harold takes over and everybody starts leaking to Meltzer and it's over.
Even if Tony Khan and AEW didn't exist, Kenny and the Bucks would be in WWE right now, not New Japan/ROH.
>He went fro wrestling guys on his level like Okada, Naito, Tana, Ishii, Ibushi
he was never on their level desu. They made him look better than he actually is.
Omega is being exposed as being just good instead of great now that he no longer has superior wrestlers to carry him. It's very telling that the best matches in AEW have unironically all featured Cody fucking Rhodes and Cody has easily been the AEW mvp so far. Let it sink in.
>Inferior country
I didn't know Zack Gayber Jr. Posted here
>He could've surpassed Hansen
lmao
>The Israeli colony and epicenter of degeneracy and social justice movements
>Not inferior to the last bastion of monoethnic society to actually succeed
he's a geek and a retard, he never deserved the top position in the first place, okada was always his better
You can’t be gay in Japan and have a stable career
Money and miles, mark.
Gaijins have a ceiling in Japan. He hit his, so there was no reason to stay. Staying in a place where he wouldn’t progress any further is what would be complacent.
>just accept the bowl of shit you’re given
facist crunge
Peer pressure and believing his own hype.
>He could've surpassed Hansen.
Nha.

Happy that Hansen gets this kind of recognition, wouldn't expect a gaijin to break the top 10.
Also kinda surprised at how high Tiger Mask is ranked. Is it one in particular or is it the character as a whole?
A man can only eat so much Ramen
Have sex
literally pulled a Taker and played it safe and stayed in his little sandbox with his friends where he feels safe and comfortable. could've had made endless amount of dimes if he signed with WWE. you all get on Taker for staying with E for 20 years and this guy refuses to sign with the big leagues and you worship him. literally the textbook definition of the word scared
>don't @(you) me
was never a household name outside japan and message boards. finally getting mainstream with aew
forgoing work rate and stars...he's not wrong. he stayed with his buddies and took less money and has direct control of his character. still wished he would've went to E to see this board cry
Seething
honest ? here
if he was in WWE, would he have turned out the way he did? would dave be giving him no less than 5 stars a match?
Probably because he wanted to do something different. He’s not the same Kenny Omega but you can see glimpses of the old Omega in the end of Cima match. Even JR said it “we haven’t seen everything from Kenny Omega”
Harrold doesn't and didn't like kenny. Didn't want to pay him. Didn't want to use his ideas. He axed his entrances. He kaboshed his video game idea. Kenny left because he's on a revenge arch and because he's actually appreciated.
he's a mark and probably easily influenced by evil people like The Bucks or blind idealists like CAWdy
Devil's Sky was the only reason he was ever over, take it away from him and the spell is broken.
how terrible of his friends to get him a job where he gets paid more without having to kill himself
kek what kind of fucking retarded mark are you?
This but unironically, he's becoming a product of nepotism and it could damage his work ethic going forward and put him in an ever growing decline
Golden Truth
The original Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama. He was an icon, probably the most popular junior heavyweight of all time (more than Liger), and inspired a more athletic style to be seen in the future of wrestling.
>Harrold doesn't and didn't like kenny. Didn't want to pay him. Didn't want to use his ideas. He axed his entrances. He kaboshed his video game idea.
based harold!
>He could've surpassed Hansen.
that fat fucking boomer? Kenny surpassed that boring fag years ago
should probably kill yourself
>le big clothesline man is good because other people said he is good
whatever
This. I'm a Kenny fan and even I have to say: He should've never won the IWGP Heavyweight title. It kinda ruins the efforts of Ibushi and after he won it, it did kinda feel like he got coky about it. "Oh I'm a big shot now, I'm up there with Okada/Tana, I'm an established brand, I know what's best for the company." The reason him & the Bucks sold so much merch was because they were the literal bridge for WWE fans. They'll type in "hurr durr NJPW american funny wrestler" and they'd see Bucks matches.
I want based Kenny back who imitated "0 drawing dimes" Seff's dick pics, who after winning a match would call out all NXT drones in their training camp watching NJPW. Not the guy who cries like a bitch on Twitter.
The US are inferior, muttboi
Kenny Omega knew why he had been selected to be the designated survivor during the State of the Union address. He was the youngest and least important cabinet member in the administration, meaning that his presence wouldn't be missed. No one would be looking for the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Outside of the government, hardly anyone would have even heard of him.
A secure room at a secret government installation would be Kenny's location for the night. The reason behind having a designated survivor was to ensure continuity of government in the unlikely and unthinkable situation of the President and everyone else in the line of succession being killed in some kind of attack or accident. It was a piece of administrative nonsense, Omega thought, and tonight the short straw was his.
"Here you are, sir," Marko Stunt, Omega's Secret Service agent said as he opened a heavy wooden door and stood aside to allow Kenny to enter the room. Despite repeated instruction, Stunt steadfastly refused to stop addressing him in the formal manner.
Kenny entered the room. There was a long wooden table in the centre with chairs all around it. There were a couple of couches for more comfortable seating, and there were two large televisions on the far wall. One was already turned on, showing the State of the Union. President Khan was already speaking. Most importantly for Kenny, there was a bottle of red wine and two glasses on the table. "Now this I approve of," he said, walking over to pick up the bottle, wanting to read the label.
"Compliments of the President, sir," Stunt said before stepping back out of the room to give him principal some privacy.
Picking up the bottle, Omega smiled. It was a kind gesture from Khan. He knew the designated survivor duty was going to be boring, and that Kenny would rather have been at the Capitol Building to hear the address in person.
Still, it could be worse, Kenny thought as he sat down. He looked towards the door as his wife entered the room. Hikaru Omega, a former dancer, model, and actress, had no interest in the State of the Union, or much of an interest in politics. What she did have an interest in was spending time with her husband. Until a few days ago, she had been away filming the latest movie she had been cast in. They both hoped this one would be her first success in film, although realistically it was doubtful, given its low budget and lack of an established star in the cast.
"I hope we didn't miss youl rine," Hikaru said, referring to Khan's speech.
A year into his role as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, all of Kenny's many hours of hard work were worth one line in the speech. One line about a potential future policy idea to allow people living in social housing to purchase their homes from the state at a discounted price. Still, it was better than nothing, Kenny thought. "We won't have missed it, Hikaru," he said warmly. "He's only just started, and the line is closer to the end than the start."
"Werr, I say we have a grass of wine whire we wait." Knowing there would be no objection, Hikaru poured for them both.
"Thanks," Kenny said. Accepting the glass, he tried the wine. "Mmm, lovely," she opined.
Hikaru sipped from her own glass and nodded her agreement. "So, I was thinking Balbados." It was a resumption of an earlier conversation about an upcoming vacation. They had been interrupted earlier back at home by Stunt's insistence that it was time to leave. Sometimes the Secret Service were the ones who gave the orders.
"Sun, sand, my wife. There's not much else I need," Kenny smiled, half listening to the ongoing speech on the TV while they talked. "If you'd like to go to Barbados, we'll do it. I could use the week off, that's for sure."
Harold ruined everything.
He peaked 2016 & 2017. Everything after he got the title was BS, especially 99% of the defenses (except the Ishii defense).
Also face Kenny doesn't suit him AT ALL. Heel/Neutral Kenny had a special feeling too it, and now his overall gimmick is a SJW weeb who was totally destroyed by the young cucks.
He could've stayed in NJPW and would've been THE best gaijin Wrestler of all time and THEN eventually go to AEW.
Whatever, just give it up, he's lost and we will never get back based cleaner.
Seething mutt detected.
>Everybody was calling it the end of times because Harold put all the belts on gaijins on his first show.
>A year later and 2/3rds of those gaijins are gone.
Funny how things work out
>inferior country
State of this weeb who’s probably never even been to Japan much less lived there to see it’s not as great as you think it is
Acquire taste, I'm beggin' ya
>He axed his entrances
good
>hypes his match with Jericho as all serious and shit
>comes out looking like a fucking goof
This motherfucker needs to learn when to turn off the weeb/geek characteristics. There is a time and a place for that but it ain't 24/7
"You got that right," a voice said from the next cubicle, startling Kenny. He had rushed into the bathroom so quickly that he hadn't noticed the cubicle was occupied. "No survivors, they're saying," the voice went on. "I can't believe it. Who could have done it? I can't see how it's possible."
Standing up, Kenny opened his door and stepped out at the same moment as the other person did the same. "I don't know, but we're damned sure going to find out," Kenny said. He recognised the other, much shorter man as Joey Janela, the Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs. He was one of the people who reported to the Secretary of State, who was now dead, along with every other senior member of the administration.
Emerging out of his cubicle, Janela saw who he had been speaking to. Recognising Kenny as a cabinet member, he quickly processed the situation. "You were the designated survivor?"
"I was," Omega confirmed with a grimace.
"But that means… excuse me, Mister President," Janela said deferentially.
Kenny felt the room spinning around him again. Mister President. It was the first time he had been addressed as such. It was something he was going to have to get used to, and fast. "I never thought I'd hear someone call me that," he admitted.
Walking quickly, Joey Janela had accompanied the new President through the White House and up the stairs to the residence. Kenny had so much on his mind that he barely took in any of his surroundings as they walked. He had never been into the residence before, but now all of a sudden it was going to be his and Hikaru's home for the next three years. That was another item on the huge list of things that he was failing to come to terms with.
Entering the residence's huge centre hall, Kenny saw a couple of Secret Service agents who he didn't recognise standing near a doorway on the left side of the hall, at the far end. One of them stepped forward upon seeing him. He was an absolute mountain of a man. Nyla Rose, Kenny's principal agent, walked swiftly up from behind the President to make the introduction.
"Mister President, this is agent Luchasuarus. He is now the First Lady's principal agent."
"Mister President," Luchasaurus said respectfully, standing to attention before him.
"Mr Luchasaurus," Kenny nodded. "Where is my wife?"
"Mrs Omega is in the living room, sir," Luchasaurus said, pointing to the doorway that he and the other agent had been standing outside of. "The White House doctor is with her."
"General, the ultimatum I gave them was not a bluff. If those ships are still sitting there when the deadline expires, I will be ordering them sunk."
There was a moment of silence around the table, and several people shared nervous glances.
"Sir, that would be a declaration of war," Gunn said carefully.
Kenny felt anger rising inside him as he replied. "I think it's pretty obvious that after what happened tonight we're already at war. The question is with who. The Iranians appear to be keen to identify themselves as prime suspects. Further, it seems to me that they intend to show they can push around America, with their new President who no one has ever heard. They're going to find out, if they cross the line, that they are wrong on both counts."
Gunn considered that for a moment. "Perhaps we should show them we mean business?"
"What do you propose?" Kenny asked.
"I propose surfacing one of the submarines we have on the scene. It will be seen by the Iranian destroyers, and it will show them that we have the means to carry out your threat, should it prove to be necessary."
"That would be dangerous for the submarine," Kenny said, thinking out loud.
"Yes," Gunn nodded, implying that the men on-board would be willing to carry out whatever order they were given.
"Do it," Kenny said after a moment.
Him and Okada put me to sleep. Never watched njpw again after seeing those two. Probably going to skip AEW too. Okada takes about a full minute to move after performing and kind of wrestling move, wwe style. Omega just strikes most of the match. If I wanted to see strikes most of the match, I'd watch a martial arts movie, at least they're talented. How come all these wrestling companies pick the most boring people to be top guys? MLW seems to be the only ones doing it right. Hopefully they expand and have longer shows.
he misses it
>Inoki over Big Baba.
Are you shitting me

Japan is a masterrace country. I have been there. Compare the homeless. In Japan they are orderly and clean and align their carboard box houses in neat rows and dress tidy and shave, and are fairly polite and always mind their own business, and sit there sharing a nice bottle of whisky with each other as quiet respectful drunks. In the US, well, crazed crack addicts who attack people and accost people for money break shit etc. Compare the police, etc, Japan socially is a better country with some different problems that are bad, but overall still better than most other countries.
It's a shame Kenny got memed so hard by Cody Rhodes. He is naive because he's too pure and surrounded himself with good people for so long.
Didn't mean to quote that shit about hansen because that's bullshit and a weird thing to say lmao
