Kenny Omega

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is a big fan of Kenny Omega, to say the least as he says the star has set himself apart from everyone else in the world of wrestling.

Kenny Omega was showered with stars yet again following his match with Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door which saw Ospreay defeat The Cleaner for the IWGP United States Championship. That bout caught the eye of many, including Booker T who thinks there’s nobody better than Omega right now.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T waxed lyrical about Kenny Omega and says he thinks the AEW star is something of a household name through his work:

“I’ve watched Kenny Omega perform and this dude — he can work, man. You’ve never heard me say anything negative towards Kenny Omega, just because he can work.

“He’s come out, he’s had his moment to where he’s not just in his wrestling mode, and you’ve got to respect a guy who wants to perform at that level as well. But inside that squared circle, Kenny Omega is second to none. He’s just that good.

“He’s different man, he’s different. He’s set himself apart from just about everybody else out there. You know who Kenny Omega is. I’ve always said, when your name gets there before you do, you’re a star. People, I think, know who Kenny Omega is around the world even if they don’t watch wrestling. If they hear the name Kenny Omega, they’re going to connect him with professional wrestling. That’s the way I see it.”
