Kenny's post Dynamite promo at Ospray

[Glitch]

He really let Will have it. Such a good piece by Omega.
Kenny can't talk my ass. He most definitely can.

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

Yeah the whole idea that "Kenny can't talk" seems (GENERALLY speaking IMO) grounded in either Kentucky Fried disdain at everything, every single thing, he does OR by people conditioned by the old "don't cut promos for the front row, cut them for the very back row of the upper deck" adage.

That's not Kenny. Nor is that any version of his character he's played since he rose to prominence.

[Super Duper Dragunov]

Like I said in the Kenny Omega thread, dude just has a way of cutting promos that always feels natural, and completely "him".

Plus he doesn't have to say "Bruv" 400 times

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I can't believe this is a free TV match and not the actual PPV match at All Out

This is gonna be insane, and I absolutely guarantee if AEW wrestlers are gonna wrestle at WrestleKingdom, this is planting seeds for Omega/Ospreay at the Dome.

[Fade]

In free form, I thought they both did incredible. Hell of a story there. And HELL of a match whenever/wherever it happens.

[FinalGwen]

Omega can talk. Will Ospreay, however, sounds like every drunk arsehole pouring out of Spoons at 1 in the morning. Never heard a promo from him before, never want to again.

one thing that I learned from some critics of Kenny online is that most just lump him with generic Indy Darling critics,which are so far off the mark.

For so long there were people calling him a spot monkey high flier

You probably won't agree, but I think this is a huge misstep by Khan to not have this match be the finals on the PPV. Hell it could easily main event.

I'm sure he has other plans as far as the storyline goes, but man this match could really generate hype and help sell the PPV, which All Out really needs right now.

I'm glad we're getting it at all, but I'd love it to be done commercial free in Chicago.

I'll just add it to my long list of puzzling booking decisions from TK.



That being said, the moment Ospreay called him a "puss" I was like "OMG Omega's gonna roast him now".
Omega can go on the mic, and that's your opening shot against him? lol

I'm ok with it not being the main because I think Elite vs Dark Order with Hangman in their corner is main event worthy, and I assume that's what the final will be

I actually don't think people expected Aussie to get past Death Triangle and then they did, but this is a very good bonus. I would have been fine if this was the PPV Match as well so I totally get what you're saying

[This Player Hating Mothman]

I don't think it's all that puzzling to have one of the biggest matches on your PPV be with guys who are actually on your show and paying off big intrigue stories with Hangman over running some dudes who aren't under contract and the audience doesn't know nearly as well. The match'll be killer and there's arguments to be made for either outcome, but I don't think going one over the other is particularly wrong or out there.

[Some Baritone guy IS REDEEMED!]

Ospreay just lost bad on the microphone. What probably hurts more, is that the bulk of what Kenny said was true.

[FinalGwen]

Also, it's worth noting with Kenny's promo, I think it suits the character to be smug about having highly-lauded, memorable matches, but also getting the job done and beating Okada. Some people seem to reduce his character to 'I've got 5 stars from Meltzer!', but he plays it more like he'll bring out the best from any opponent, give them the hardest hitting matches of their careers that everyone talks about and beat them.

It's related to the Bucks rather than Kenny, but I feel like Matt Jackson had a line on BTE that summed up this character concept so well: "We're going to beat you, and we'll do a triple backflip kick while we do it."

And it's not like it's uncommon in actual combat sports; lots of MMA fighters will brag about having all-time bangers and take pride in fight of the night bonuses on a professional level. Simply winning isn't enough for some people; they need to win spectacularly, and do so in a way that makes sure everyone is talking about it the next day. That distilled into a savant character is just Kenny. It's steeped in way more actual realism than some people like to give it credit for. He's not the Best Bout Machine because people rank his fake fights as better than anyone else's. He's the Best Bout Machine because he will win spectacularly, and because a cheap, easy win is not what he wants. You'll get your money's worth out of a Kenny match, the same way that can be a concern with a fight card.

One reason that went so well is because I'm pretty sure Kenny really believes every word he said.

[IgnahtaSempria]

I remember the lead up to Forbidden Door was the first time I'd ever actually heard Will Ospreay cut a promo.

Ospreay sounds like someone punched him in the throat when he was 14, and it never quite healed properly.

He should have called him "Will Assplay"

Feel exactly the same, 'BRUV'. Uggh, heard enough of that in the various places I've lived. Don't need it from some jumped up twat on TV 😆
