AEW star Kenny Omega has opened up on the physical and mental toll he had to navigate through during his time in All Elite Wrestling. This statement will come as an eye-opener for many people.
Omega is one of the Executive Vice Presidents of AEW alongside The Young Bucks and because of that, he has to take his role seriously when it comes to running the show. On top of being a top wrestler, he is also someone who takes the executive aspect of his job very seriously.
In a recent interview with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the former AEW World Champion spoke passionately about his work and said he wanted to bring together all the wrestling fans the world over. He also touched upon how all his sacrifices had taken a "physical and mental" toll on him over the years.

In the same interview, he also shed light on how much effort goes behind his added responsibility of being an EVP. As part of his duties, he makes every effort to ensure that everything is in place for the shows to run smoothly on a regular basis.
"I'm at the arena days before trying to figure out, 'How are we gonna make this work? How do we make this guy's entrance work? How do we make sure all of the entrance videos are formatted? How do we make sure that the extras and the talents are fed? How do we make sure that they're healthy? How do we make sure that we keep them healthy? What do we do if something goes wrong?" he stated.
The attention to detail is what makes the 41-year-old legend's work extremely taxing and strenuous. All of Kenny Omega's efforts have only naturally taken a toll on his physical and mental health.
