Kenny Omega has been out of action for several months before finally having surgery. Fortunately, he seems to be in much better shape now.
Speaking with Sean Ross Sapp for Fightful, the AEW star discussed former World Champion Swerve Strickland.
“I feel like it’s moments like that where I can really sit back and smile,” Kenny Omega said. ” It’s not all the time when the good guys win. When the good guys can get ahead in life. And especially for me, there are people that I’ve rooted for in the past that just maybe weren’t able to ever get their fair shake, or they weren’t able to find that break.
And I remember — he may not even remember, but I remember that in moments when Swerve would be involved in something that maybe placed him in more of an enhancement role. He would do such an incredible job with it to not only elevate his opponent, but the quality of the match, and himself in the process.
I would always feel like, not that it was my job, I just felt like as a wrestler, as someone who still enjoys watching good wrestling or wrestling that entertains me, I felt like I got to reach out to this guy. I have to let him know that he’s doing an incredible job.
And I just hope he doesn’t get discouraged, because eventually someone’s going to see how good and how giving, and how cognizant he is of everything around him, as regards to current-day wrestling.
And lo and behold, months and months and months and months and months and months later, whatever it was, he found the secret, and he just used that as a springboard to launch himself into the stratosphere, and he went from wherever he was at to now being undeniably one of our greatest performers in AEW.”
