Gabe Kidd Details Recent Backstage Confrontation With Kenny Omega In New Japan

Gabe Kidd gives his side of the story regarding the recent physical backstage confrontation with Kenny Omega in New Japan.

New Japan Pro-Wrestling‘s Gabe Kidd recently spoke with Sid Pullar III of Sports Illustrated. When asked about his recent physical backstage confrontation with All Elite Wrestling’s Kenny Omega that took place in front of members of the media, Kidd said he was just trying to have a conversation with him.

“Listen, I went to him backstage. I didn’t try to get into any of this stuff happening.” Gabe Kidd said. “I knew where he was going to be after he got off the mic, I knew where he was gonna be, so I waited for him and those little rats of f***ing press staff, they were waiting around the corner, they heard us talking.”

“I was just trying to have a conversation with him, but I was pissed. Listen, I said this to him before anything, before pro wrestling, I’m a man, a very mad one, so if you disrespect me like that, I hate when these people like MJF and Kenny, they try to act like they don’t know what my name is because they’re not cool and they try to act cool in front of these other people, wrestling fans, who are also not cool.

Gabe Kidd has no love for wrestling fans

“It’s just a bunch of not cool people trying to act cool and it ain’t a good look, you get slapped for that where I’m from. So, I was just trying to have a conversation with him what happened, happened. So, I think you know my phone’s been blowing up the past hour, everyone, all these little nerds on the internet, they’re like, ‘Who’s this guy, why is he stepping to the GOAT?’

“I don’t even care about any you little nerds, I don’t even care what you think of this guy, you worship this man and I slapped the s**t outta him backstage after he got rude. So, you can’t say anything to me, this guy you worship got bitched out by me. That’s all I got to say on that.”
