In layman’s terms, Kenny Omega is sort of the Dean Ambrose of NJPW. So far, his 2016 has been the most successful of his career. He currently holds the IWGP Intercontinental Championship and is also one-third of the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship along with the Young Bucks as part of the Bullet Club Elite. He destroyed his Bullet Club mentor AJ Styles earlier this year and became the defacto leader of the Bullet Club. That’s a lot of accomplishments in the first 4 months of the year.

Kenny Omega is the epitome of the modern professional wrestler. He’s technically sound, powerful, charismatic as hell and can fly through the air when he needs to. His finisher, the One Winged Angel, is one of the most devastating finishers in pro wrestling today. He defends the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship with the Young Bucks this Sunday.

Kenny Omega is not only a very good wrestler, he’s a star.
