What would his ceiling be if he had gone to WWE? I think at best he could have like Nakamura.
>>19429122same as AJ nice initial run then a solid midcarder that can be elevated when need be
>>19429122he wouldn't have passed their wellness tests with all the injuries
>>19429122He would've been involved in a Wrestlemania main event or two then settled down as an upper midcarder who occasionally feuds with the stars.
>>19429122I dunno, I probably would've skipped all his segments like most other shitters they put on TV like Seff or Rey Fenix.
>>19429122would have had to go to NXT for a while to learn how to work. wouldn't have been able to hang on the main roster.
>>19429122main evented one PPV and made a few appearances on RAW. guy is made of glass
>>19429122I think upper midcard minimum isn't unlikely, he can talk and work his way to being over, and paring down his wacky stuff would quickly turn the guys who hate him from the internet around.
>>19429122his career would have been very similar to AJ's, it would have been much better than nakamura's
>>19429122>best bout machine
>>19429483kenny, shida, FATuosa, the aew effect is real
He couldn't handle the grind
>>19429402>he can talk Since when?
>Best Gout Machine
>>19429439>his career would have been very similar to AJ's
>>19429402>he can talkBut can he crust Jericho?
>>19429511I've seen Japanese reporters fucking enraptured by what he's saying man, I think he'd able to adapt to people who can understand him.
>>19429531ok and why not?
>>19429556because he makes me mad because he helped start AEW
>>19429538I've heard a handful of promos from him and it was some of the most disconnected and autistic sounding shit ever. The guy can wrestle, even if I'm not necessarily a fan of his style, but he definitely shouldn't be allowed to talk.
His heel title run in AEW was excellent imo, a fit and healthy kenny omega would shine anywhere.
>>19429538>AEW fans think Kenny can cut an amazing promo when he speaks a language they can't understand
Kenny with Keith Lee as his body guard and Adam Cole as his mouthpiece, unstoppable.
>>19429570Fair enough friend, that's the perception a lot of people have. I think he'd surprise you. Maybe not be the GOAT, but surprise you.I'm assuming he heads to WWE soon after New Japan, I didn't watch his AEW work. Dind't get into the promotion.
>>19429563that part
>>19429582The promo was in English, what the fuck did you think I meant
AJ was also terrible on the mic before WWE and Kenny has cut a couple promos (the njpw one shitting on Ospreay and the one talking about his brock lesnar disease that was so good even Cornette liked it) that make me think he would have been able to get better if he was reigned in from being a goof.
kenny's promos aren't any more unnatural than dom's. he would have been fine
>>19429556because AJ Styles isn't an effeminate theater kid?
>>19429621He's more of a twink than Omega's ever been honestly NTA
>>19429621mind you cody rhodes is the face of the company
>>19429605This is the guy who cut two promos on cat vomit.TWO.
>>19429643>>19429657
>>19429584He had an alright look with the Cleaner gimmick and maybe if they kinda kept it tight and concise it could work but everything I've heard in AEW is the drizzling shits. Like I said, he's a talented guy if a little gimmicky. If he has a mic in his hand I hope it's short and to the point. >>19429599I don't know if I would say AJ is terrible on the mic. He's a better babyface than he is a heel so his heel work feels sorta forced but he's made a lot of strides in the mic department
The big difference between Kenny in AEW and Kenny in WWE is that he in WWE he would be expected to listen to veterans, he'd be working with guys who want him to do good television, not just express his art and if he failed he'd be moved down the card.
>>19429660he's not great but he'd have a writer and producers. at worst he'd be like austin theory levels of sounding like he's reading lines like a bad actor
>>19429675>The big difference between Kenny in AEW and Kenny in WWE is that he in WWE he would be expected to listen to veteransBill Demott told him to tell a story in the ring in DSW.His idea was to build a match around his ass.
>>19429675This is a big thing too and it doesn't get brought up enough. Tony letting the roster do whatever the fuck wouldn't be flying and I can't see most of the AEW roster getting along with that
>>19429669AJ Styles had radio show callers ask him what it's like to have so many fans in the gay communityIn the 2000s, it wasn't even cool yet
>>19429122the funniest shit about the kenny to wwe idea is that kenny would be like a pig in shit settling into doing gay shit with the new day and people would fucking seethe about it.
>>19429707Kenny enjoying himself in WWE and relaxing while doing goofy stuff would piss all the commentators off lol. Meltzer and Cornette would be equally pissed.
WWE would have made him look like a geek right off the bat. Say he entered the 2019 Rumble, he probably would have gotten a huge pop but eliminated unceremoniously just like AJ in '16. Here's the difference. AJ knew how to work an American crowd so when he got thrown in with Jericho to 'learn how to work,' he passed with flying colors. If Kenny was in the same situation with Miz or whoever at that time, he would have flopped big time. WWE wasn't and still isn't interested in raw talent, they need a superstar who can promo and do it all. Kenny could pass for that now, but not in 2019. So he made the right choice.
>>19429122They'd give him a dancing gimmick.
>>19429483'fraid so
>>19429727Perhaps throwing NJPW main eventers in with someone to see if they can work is stupid to begin with, and getting over is a more universal skill than you think it is.
>>19429122>2 year run in NXT>then released because he won't listen to anyone and keeps trying to insert goofy faggot shit
>>19429483Best Buffet and AIDS Machine
>>19429769Vince was running WWE at the time and didn't share your or my perspective on NJPW main event talent, mark.
>>19429704Homos lusting after AJ doesn't compare to taking part in a sissy boy slap party.
>>19429140They weren't head or neck injuries so they would clear him.
>>19429866Sure but that just means he was proven wrong in the best of ways by AJ, I think Omega would have been similarly capable.
>>19429889You had to seek out Kenny doing gay shit though, AJ Styles was naturally magnetic to men of a certain persuasion. It's a good thing, really.
>>19429898Kenny looks zesty as fuck, anon. Don't get that vibe from AJ whatsoever. I don't give a fuck either way but Kenny's always seemed like he had some sugar in his tank.
>>19429916I'm really not seeing it, and the fact is he's definitely a freaky ass dude, but like he's just not a pretty man.
>>19429898That is some serious cope. Besides, AJ was on national television since the mid 2000s. No one knew who Kenny was until some geriatric started glazing him in a newsletter, so AJ is gonna have the larger following
>>19429934I dunno, anon. It doesn't matter but he gives off pretty big gay vibes to me. Bi at the very least. This thread has taken some wild turns though.
>>19429153>Wrestlemania main eventAJ Styles didn't get one, Kenny had no chance. Unless when you say involved you mean a run in like Kevin/Sami/the Usos a few years ago. Or night 1 main event (which isn't a main event its just something we tell the women)
>>19429893I'm an Omega fan but let's be real, he would have flopped on the mic against any WWE tenured guy, and that's the weakness that Vince would have exploited at the time as an excuse to prove that workrate guys couldn't hang. AJ was an exception because as I said, he already knew how to work an American crowd.
>>19429704
>>19429122Idk sorry
