Kenny Omega cut a full-length promo in Japanese ahead of his match with Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty.
Speaking on the NJPW YouTube Channel, the former AEW Champion spoke to Gabe Kidd directly through the camera lens.
He said he felt like he had been reborn since his issues with diverticulitis and that his destiny was to beat Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty. Kenny Omega added that he doesn’t see the “spirit” Gabe Kidd claims he had, while also questioning if the Englishman was scared of his match with Omega on January 5th.
“There is no guarantee of a second chance in life.” Kenny Omega said. “And not everybody can be the person they grew up dreaming of becoming. But there are those chosen by destiny and doomed to bear a responsibility from birth. I cannot escape it, I cannot hide from it and I cannot die.”
“When I thought my time was finally over, I saw a brilliant light and like a phoenix from the flames, I was reborn. And I thought, ‘Why must I continue?’. It’s because of you and people like you who destroyed the beauty I created.” Kenny Omega added, referring to Gabe Kidd before going on to do a mocking impression of the young Englishman.
“‘I’m a madman! I’m a madman!’ No, you’re not. You’re weak. You’re riding on a legacy of what I created. You’ve managed to create a group of sheep around you. Do you think that they agree with you, that they support you? What those fans really want to see is strength.” Kenny Omega added.
“So let’s see how strong you are. Let’s see that spirit that you like to talk about so much. Because I just don’t see it in you. I have given you an opportunity on a platter. Are you scared? Do you want to run away? Don’t worry, Gabe. If you can’t handle the pressure, I’m sure there’s room in the back in the psych ward. Until next time, Gabe: Goodbye and Goodnight.” Finished Kenny Omega.
