Kenny Omega

While Kenny Omega has never been one to shy away from his influences, fans will be surprised to learn what show has inspired his AEW work.

“The first thing that came into my mind wasn’t a title, wasn’t some kind of accolade. While Omgea does think about his own career, he also understands that wrestling isn’t just about one person, and for the ecosystem to truly work, he needs to help the next generation too. “Sometimes, the first thing that pops into your mind is probably how you really feel,” Omega said via Fightful. Wow, while it may not be the first thing a professional wrestling fan might think of when building a match, shows like Batman: The Animated Series do follow a 21-minute format with a defined beginning, middle, and end, and does prove that some villains don’t require the same attention as others. Sometimes he has to fight the Riddler. It’s true, while talking to Renee Paquette on her The Sessions podcast, Omega noted how DC Cartoons, namely Batman: The Animated Series, help him to craft matches for television.
