Omega and Orange in the same angle. That's all that was needed for me. And I thought what he said was pretty good in trying to take apart Cassidy verbally.

I get people upset it might've telegraphed Orange winning a bit too much, but I didn't see PAC winning one because they don't normally do Heel vs Heel and two because of PAC not being there full time. I thought it was a good dress down promo like Omega just seems like he has better things to do. I'm sure he'll regret that
There is no better choice for a packed house than having Orange in a world title match with Omega. It will be incredible.

I loved it. I’m so hyped for this. I’m honestly considering going to Jacksonville specifically for this match, should it happen (I live in New York).

Interesting take, there were quite a few people who didn't like Omega's promo here on FAN, thought it ran long, just don't like Omega speaking/want Callis to speak for him, but watching Zane's review he LOVED the segment and heel Omega especially, and said that Kenny Omega being a great heel and having a tangible crowd to play off of, works so much better than the pre-taped backstage promos do, and I am inclined to agree with that.
Omega loved having a crowd and it might be something that helps not only this feud but the overall match when it happens with a packed house.

That's because I feel that he's terrible on the mic overall? I thought Callis was supposed to be his mouthpiece? Also, do I detect a bit of snarkiness from you pointing out the opinions of others?

I have to say I thought this was the best mic work I have ever heard from Kenny. Fun, but detestable.

Not in the least bit, I was literally just pointing out what others had said, and then presenting a different take I was surpised to see from Zane which you left out of your quote? I never said people couldn't hate Omega on the mic.

I thought it was enjoyable. It felt like Omega was either trying to not to take Cassidy seriously, or from another point of view, he's trying to talk down Orange because......he's secretly scared of Orange Cassidy.
Because even though Orange likes to take this fairly easy, he does show moments of One for All Full Cowling 5%.
Also, Orange had a look of "Does this guy ever shut up?" And that made me giggle.

I feel that the criticisms of Kenny’s promo style are part and parcel of a certain demographic of the wrestling fanbase that dislikes the Elite in general. He’s super sarcastic, his inflection comes across as snarky, and he makes a lot of super esoteric and borderline fourth wall breaking references.
Tennis enthusiasts and the like are going to hate that, and baggage aside, I see how it’s a fair opinion if you’re somebody for whom traditional realism is the most important thing in wrestling. I, personally, love it and find Kenny to be the best all-around pro wrestler of all time.

It would have been a great segment if it was like...a week later, but I understand that they've only got so much time till DoN. Match should be good. I'm not as high on OC as a main event talent as others but in this particular role he'll be fine.

I had mixed opinions on it. Definitely didn't like how much it telegraphed next week, and I thought it went on way too long, but it had its moments for sure. Match will probably be great but since the next four months of Kenny are filler I find it hard to really particularly want to see it.

I have to say I thought this was the best mic work I have ever heard from Kenny. Fun, but detestable. This is the style that Kenny excels at. Bryan Zane had a mini-rant about it that he hates Elite-Kenny but loved the Kenny in the promo. And while I think he takes it a little too far, I think there is a point of truth in there that Kenny could let that persona more loose and rely less on Callis/Good Brothers for promos and segments.

I like Kenny's mic work even as a face more than others here. But he's really in his element as a sleazebag heel. I see Callis being along for the ride and running with someone considers family than a necessary mouthpiece. And he wouldn't be close to the first wrestler who could hold his own on the mic and still have a manager anyway.

Segment of the year for Nak having the TNA title around his waist. Bully Ray getting heated about it almost feels like a work. Kenny was like nerd funny. It felt like a nerdy video game guy cutting a Ric Flair on Steamboat promo. I hope he does some dancing on his way out next week.

People, including Kenny himself, are having fun with that corny evil laugh he did.

People saying the promo telegraphed the outcome for next week, while I’m sitting here still saying the smart money is on PAC.
