WWE : 10 Wrestling Soul Mates of the Modern Era

#1 Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi

Golden Lovers forever

Whether because of the ties of friendship or for the shared passion of the craft, pushing the innuendo and subtext aside; there is no greater dalliance in wrestling history than that between Omega and Ibushi.

The Golden Lovers may often stray far from another, with broken hearts and wounded pride just as part of their legacy as unbridled love. The two men cannot be divided from one another and their careers.

Most importantly there is a part of every fan that believes, the Golden Lovers shall ride once again and again.

Though competitively the two men haven't fought as much in the ring as the others on the list, nor is their tag team as classic as revisionist history may have you believe.

Yet, the Golden Lovers are a whispered memory of what the drive means in this business for the performers a part of it.

To both men regardless of their conflicting career choices, pro wrestling is an art form, a performance that can bring a higher rush of spirituality like no other.

It all begins with the legend of when Omega saw Ibushi wrestle in a video and deemed it his destiny to compete with this man.

It has since built into a fruitful relationship, not just between the lovers but fans as well. The LGBTQ subtext of the narrative sees Omega-Ibushi as a unique and beloved arc of its own, the drive for the same goal makes it wrestling at its finest.

Regardless of their ties of friendship or the mirrored passion of the craft, the truth is this is a bond of two souls destined to fight and love forever. After all, isn't that what soulmates are.
