Jim Cornette recently appeared on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast, where he completely trashed New Japan Pro Wrestling star Kenny Omega, who is, aside from AJ Styles, widely considered to be the best in-ring performer in the world today.
“Kenny Omega, I’ve said this about him, I don’t care if he discovers the cure for cancer in his spare time, brings Lou Thesz back from the grave and stretches him in a shoot, he is still a piece of sh*t that should never be in the business because he had matches with nine year old girls and blow up dolls. I don’t care how good he is. I don’t have any time for him, don’t want to look at him, don’t want to hear about him and if I had complete control over pro wrestling I would have Dan Severn go and beat the f*ck out of him and leave him laying in a f*cking ditch.”
Omega has certainly come a long way over the last couple of years, but apparently Cornette can’t see him for what he’s become, and he only sees him for what he used to be. Also, Cornette is probably one of the very few people who feels this way about the NJPW star.
