I think Omega could probably work in WWE, but at the same time, like, I wonder how long it'd take for them to have someone (say, Roman) kick out of the One Winged Angel.

There's pros and cons to it, especially when it comes to overall safety and longevity of the performers, but to say that "WWE Style is a myth" is just... incorrect.

Never say never, but I would rate the Bucks chances of going to WWE as "moderate," and Omega's as "unlikely."
Only way I see Omega going is if WWE gives him a Brock deal where his appearances are limited. He's pretty banged up, and I don't think he has any desire at all to work a full WWE schedule. I don't know the guy, either, but from things he's said in public appearances I think the whole "WWE IS wrestling" thing means less than zero to him. I think he kind of likes the idea of being the current biggest star to not work a match on the WWE main roster. It seems to mean a lot to him that he built his name and reputation without any WWE involvement.

Even to someone who just enjoys the art of wrestling, I'm sure Kenny is just like anyone else in the sense that the only things that are real are the money and the miles. More money for less miles is tempting to anyone.

That is true that Kenny's circumstances in 2022 are different than they were in the 2018 when he was nearing the end of his NJPW run. By his own admission, he was one rehab setback from retiring.
Still goes to show how damn good he was that he was able to safely execute great matches not just working hurt, but dealing with vertigo on top of that.

I'd like to see Kenny have a run in WWE, even if it is just for a year or so. I'd like to see Kenny against Seth, Edge, Roman, etc. The Bucks... I'm just not sure. They aren't my cup of tea, but I recognize them as excellent performers. But, outside of the Usos... I really don't know who else I really want them to go against... I guess the New Day as well.

I think the thing that keeps Kenny in AEW is the NJPW partnership. You know he loves that. However, the recent thing with Punk and a newly led WWE definitely makes it more likely he'll jump ship. It probably depends on The Bucks as I see them as a package deal.

I love the move, but honestly, someone needs to kick out of it eventually. I honestly think there's way more story to be told through the move that actually means a decisive finish, where the whole point is escaping actually being hit with it, or even things like Mox sacrificing his body by triggering an explosion because there's no other way to escape, rather than the same formula of dramatic kickouts that a lot of matches come down to. I think it could definitely be done at special times (I think Hangman kicking out would have felt appropriate given their history and the long build), but I feel like in WWE it'd risk becoming just another move because so much of their match structure is done in the same way.

I'm just going to sigh if he does with the WWE and Roman is the one who kicks out of the move.

I still don't care for Roman and if it's his first match in WWE then yeah I mean... that's personal preference and all. But if a guy can't handle losing to the biggest modern star in the industry, then he's not that good.

Why are you being so unnecessarily aggro over the tiniest things? I'm not? Dude was acting like Roman kicking of the OWA would be the worst thing ever. I said it wouldn't. Like wtf is everyone's problem with me having an opinion all of a sudden?
