Canadian born pro wrestler extraordinaire Kenny Omega has never been ashamed of his otaku roots. An Otaku is a person who is very much interested in anime, manga, and video games from the land of the rising sun.

Thus, Kenny Omega has renamed many pro wrestling moves after the Japanese animation and video game characters he loves. A running knee smash has been standard wrestling offense even before Harley Race made it a signature thirty years ago, but for heaven's sakes DO NOT call it that when Kenny Omega does it; it's a V trigger or you'll incite nerd rage!

Likewise, Kenny uses a gutwrench sitout powerbomb but renames it the Dr. Wiley Bomb. Yes, Kenny Omega is quite creative with his move names but is nerd rage really necessary?
