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 NJPW1972.com, the AEW star discussed the Forbidden Door concept with talent appearing in other promotions.
“I think that the concept of the Forbidden Door now, now that sort of the door’s been booted wide-open… the way that I used to picture the Forbidden Door, you know, you picture the cartoony door at the pearly gates, you know what I mean? It’s like you need that special permission to open that thing up. Now I just feel like it’s a revolving door. But, you go out one end, you don’t come back the other unless you have that passion. It’s opened the talent pool so wide and it’s made our roster so diverse with so many options. But if you aren’t a complete athlete, if you aren’t a complete wrestler, you just can’t hang. So, is it special? Maybe it’s lost a smidge of specialness by being able to crossover that plain. But it’s made the competition that much stiffer and it’s made the competition that much tougher. You can’t succeed now unless you’re absolutely not only the best in America, but the best in England, the best in Australia, the best in New Zealand, the best in Japan. You have to be one of the world’s best athletes to succeed now in today’s global wrestling climate, and I think the Forbidden Door helped facilitate that.”
