Kenny Omega Discusses Strong Style, Seth Rollins Stealing His Finisher

NJPW superstar Kenny Omega was recently interviewed by SportsKeeda and discussed a number of topics.

Below are some of the questions, along with his answers:

Sportskeeda: Modern strong style has exploded in popularity over the last couple of years; did you have any difficulty adjusting your style when first faced with it?

Omega: Not at all. My strong suit has always been utilising my opponent’s strengths to get the best out of a particular match and/or situation. That’s part of what makes ‘Kenny Omega style’, which in itself is its own beast.

Sportskeeda: How do you feel about Big Damo using the One-Winged Angel in NXT and Seth Rollins using the Rain Trigger in WWE?

Omega: I’m cool with it. Examining their execution, it hardly appears like the same move anyway.

Now in 2017, almost every move has been created. To make something ‘new’, sometimes the only way is to add your own spin to a pre-existing move. I have a fairly original move set, but I do have a dragon suplex in my arsenal. I make that look fresh by adding a snap and keeping it low to the ground. It looks original, but at the end of the day, it is just a dragon suplex.
