In his latest stream on Twitch (via Wrestling Inc), Kenny Omega spoke about his favorite wrestlers growing up, which included The Ultimate Warrior, Rick Rude and others. Here are highlights:
On what wrestler made him think differently about singles wrestling: “When I first started to kind of become like a ‘workrate’ guy where I really enjoyed more of what I saw in the ring than the storyline type stuff, he was my first ever ‘oh man this is what wrestling looks like when I’m really into a match.’ Not that I wasn’t into the matches before, I was into them in a different way.”
On what tag teams he enjoyed: “I loved the Legion of Doom, but my actual favorite tag team was The Rockers … and second place was the Hart Foundation easily.”
