Kenny Omega is ready to make history, but not in a WWE ring. He has reached heights previously unseen by foreign wrestlers in Japan, and that is a source of pride for him.
“Since I’m not in WWE, some people think I’m not even in their league,” said Omega, who is the first non-Asian to main event New Japan’s yearly January 4 Tokyo Dome showcase since Brock Lesnar in 2006. “It’s easy for me to tune those people out because they have no idea what they’re talking about.”
Omega is set to battle IWGP champion Kazuchika Okada this Wednesday at Wrestle Kingdom 11, which is New Japan’s biggest show of the year and will be broadcast live from the Tokyo Dome on New Japan World.
