One of the largest WWE Superstars of the current era is the seven-foot-four Nigerian Giant Omos. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker shared his thoughts on the former WWE Raw Tag Team Champion.
While speaking on a recent episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker shared that there are not too many people on the roster that Omos should not just squash. He compared the Nigerian Giant to the late-great Andre The Giant.
“You can’t not love that guy. He’s such a good guy, and you like to see people like that succeed. I hope they find something good for him. Yeah [he needs to have a big guy with him], there’s nothing else that makes sense. There’s just nobody on the roster that makes sense. I don’t care now over or what you are. If you sacrifice that, I just don’t…you can’t do it. You have to be so judicious in how you handle him, and there’s not many people I don’t think that he shouldn’t just squash. He is a modern-day Andre,” Undertaker said. [H/T Fightful.com]
The Undertaker is convinced that Omos does not need a title belt to prove how big of a star he is
During the same episode, The Deadman mentioned that Omos does not need a title. But he should be wrestling against the giants in the company.
“He has the intellect, and obviously he’s good on the mic, talking. I don’t know. I think it’s just having people that pose any kind of challenge to him at all. He’s so much bigger than everybody. You got Braun Strowman out there, you got Bronson Reed. I could see a Gunther working with Omos, but having to really scrap from underneath. Someone like Omos doesn’t need to ever be pinned. There’s always an out somewhere, but he doesn’t get pinned. There’s nothing in almost any scenario that makes sense. I don’t care what comic book fantasy world that you live in. He doesn’t need a belt. He is a walking, breathing, living attraction.
“I could see him coming in as a heel, and then something happening and him just being an ultra, mega, worldwide babyface. He doesn’t have to work every week. That’s the thing. He doesn’t have to work on TV every week. What he can do and is willing to do, because he loves the industry and loves everything that comes with that, as an active competitor, he could be a global ambassador for the sport.
“Andre was the face of wrestling long before the Hogans and anybody else came along. You can’t think of a better person, if you want somebody to go out and represent your brand around the world, somebody 7-foot-four, 400-pound, intelligent human being with tons of personality. He’s like Mark Henry in a sense. Mark will scare you to death looking at him, if Mark’s got a scowl on his face. But as soon as Mark smiles, you feel like he’s a big teddy bear,” Undertaker said.
Omos is currently absent from in-ring action.
Do you agree with The Deadman?
