5 Reasons Kenny Omega might fail in WWE, and 5 he might succeed

Might Succeed in WWE: He's already got legions of fans in the USA

Back in the 1980s, and prior to the internet, it was quite understandable that many American wrestling fans would be unfamiliar with Japanese talent. After all, the only thing on television was often regional broadcasts, the NWA, or WWE. And none of those outlets were likely to have talent from other promotions on their programming.

These days, however, no one professional wrestling company can be said to exist in a vacuum. People pay attention to the contractual status of various wrestling talents just as fervently as they once did for Major League Baseball, for example.

Many pro wrestling fans watch far more than just one promotion, and that includes a huge segment of the WWE Universe. Likely, there will already be millions of fans waiting for Omega should he make the switch from NJPW to WWE.
