Kenny has had two singles matches in AEW this year. One against Blake Christian in a 5 minute squash, the other against Brian Cage that went 10 minutes where Cage took most of the match.
What a shame bros. Imagine if he had gone to the E.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQcz9j0Ceoc [Embed]Christ, what a fall from grace.I remember the powerful wave of momentum he had behind him with his rise to the top of the company. Everybody in the main event scene at that time was just putting on banger after banger and he took the world by storm. Literally the first gaijin to win the G1 since Hogan.Now? He is bloated, busted, missing half of his colon, holding Hangman's dilation wand in his hand as far away from his face as he can because being at AEW show is rancidly odious enough as it is, he's got that 1000 cock stare, he had to punch another notch hole into his belt to hold up his denims around his expanding roid gut because he's too arsed to even bother wearing ring gear, the life and youth are out of his eyes, he's probably in some sort of CTE moment of regret and dull recollection of better times in Japan while hanging and banging with Ibushi, he has Oprah Winfrey biceps with what looks like cakemix inside his arms, he's in a state of nihlistic malaise over how much video games suck these days, his hair looks somehow worse.This isn't some hot dog and handshake ham and egger. This is Kenny fucking Omega. We all watched him climb from the bottom to the absolute top of the mountain during New Japan's renaissance; IWGP Heavyweight Championship, the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, they had to create the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship for him to cool him down for his world title run, the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team and IWGP Jr. Heavyweight tag and singles belt. He won the G1 and ran Bullet Club. This fucker was THE guy; he ticked all the boxes of an international star. His run was legendary in that company and there was no signs they weren't going to bend the world over backwards to keep him there and happy.Now he can't even run his refrigerators bluetooth ice machine. This is the fat Axl Rose part of his career. His love for Terminator has cursed him into becoming current Ed Furlong.
>>19162549Kenny didn't go to AEW to be a ''huge star'' and he gets to do video game shit and spend half of his time in Japan while getting rich. That's what he wanted.
>>19162508>2019>Kenny thinks he'll be a huge star in America and help lead AEW to the top>2025:>AEW is a corpse, Kenny has become totally irrelevant, he's old, physically crippled, and wishes he never left NJPWKenny has had one of the grimmest character arcs in pro wrestling.
Tony Kahn is "Booker of The Queer"
>>19162510He'd have been doing TV jobs for the Miz. That's his level in the big leagues.
>>19162508He is just following what riho does which is 4 matches per year
>>19162557>Kenny didn't go to AEW to be a ''huge star''Yeah he did. You think he left NJPW and came to America with the expectation that AEW would fizzle out and his career would flop? >That's what he wanted.This is not the face of a man who got what he wanted.
>>19162522>>19162558>gedo had booked him to beat tanahashi, becoming the first gaijin to win the Wrestle Kingdom main event>would’ve headlined MSG with okada>was meant to have jay white’s spot in the gold double dash>would’ve worked an actual feud with naito that wasn’t centered around the G1>would’ve gotten the big Wrestle Kingdom match with Ibushi that he’d always wantedI would genuinely take one more year (2019) of Kenny in New Japan, followed by an immediate career ending injury, over the six years of “lost a step” Kenny we’ve gotten in AEW
>>19162578He went to AEW to get paid far more than anyone else would pay him and to be allowed the freedom to do whatever he wants creatively.
>>19162580He wasn't good in New Japan either. He's always been a Meltzer meme.
>>19162583Anon, you're kidding yourself if you think Kenny left NJPW so he could do the macarena in front of 500 people on a show that loses to re-runs. He obviously thought he was going to be at least as big of a deal in America as he was in Japan. If it was purely about the money then he wouldn't have tried to book the joshi shit in AEW or tried to lead the development of Fight Forever(before the devs told him to fuck off). His dream was to get paid and be a major star in the west working for a wildly successful wrestling promotion but only one of those things happened.
>>19162618WWE offered him $2.1 million when his contract expired in 2017. He would be lucky to get anywhere near that now.
>>19162620They didn't even offer him that. That's just the number the Elite put out there (through Meltzer) so that Tony would overpay them. And he did, because he's a mark.
>itt: sour grapes and schizo edrone head canon
>>19162618He cares about getting paid and doing his own thing. He likes doing goofy shit like the macarena or getting awful joshi/DDT shit on American TV, and getting paid millions to do it. No other company would offer him the chance. No other company would let him be involved in the video game development, which is something else he wanted to do. Basically, Tony is a fucking idiot and Kenny/The Bucks have worked him out of $10m+.
>>19162626Wrestling fig status?
>>19162522>His love for Terminator has cursed him into becoming current Ed Furlong.fuckin brutal dude
>>19162626>sour grapes The only sour grapes are coming from Kenny wishing he'd signed with WWE.
The 'he should have gone to WWE' stuff is so silly. He'd have been a midcard guy earning half as much money. He's a midget who can't cut a promo and his work is seen as being indy as fuck. In the absolute best case scenario, he'd be AJ Styles (AJ is a much better promo and a better fundamental worker). More realistically, he'd have been a less athletic Ricochet. Maybe he gets a US title run.
>>19162632He'd be in a comedy tag team with Sami and it'd be awesome.
>>19162508What are you talking about. He has had ppv matches with Okada and Takeshita this year
>>19162508His body is completely wrecked to the point where he can't even get out of bed after a match. He'll never go back to being a singles guy full time. Maybe if he rests and the dozens of medical procedures he seems to get a year produce good results he'll make a tag run. I don't think he's going to take 5+ years of like E&C did so he can come back and wrestle once a month in his late 40s (if AEW will still be around by then).
He’s completely saw dusted which is why it doesn’t make sense that Tony is still putting him in heatless throw away matches. He should be a special attraction at this point.Kenny was supposed to be the best wrestler in the world and outside of small flashes in AEW we never saw it in America. His matches with Christian and Bryan Danielson being about his only highlights of his time.the elite went from being on top of the wrestling industry, they even have a company named after them, to now having a failing company named after them, a sawdusted immobile Kenny omega, and the cucks and hangqueer having go away heat
