This guy is insane. I'd heard the name but this was the first time I've saw him. Remember Blitzkreig in WCW? He was doing some crazy stuff for a couple of months in 1999 then seemed to just disappear from wrestling. My first impression of Vikingo watching just now was like wow this is like if Blitzkreig stuck around, got more polished and reached the ridiculous potential he had. Blitzkrieg was fun. I want to say he's the one who retired because he had a really good tech job that paid better than the WCW one, right? I want to say he also gave the gimmick to Jack Evans.

Though I'm surprised he never made a few 'one off' appearances during the early 2000's Indy boom.

You know now that we've said this, we're gonna see Blitzkrieg make a random AEW appearance lol

I said this already only thing I dislike about what he does is practically all of his stuff requires so much set up , while it looks cool It in the long run will be something fans just wont be able to ignore. They ignored it with PAC and still do considering the Black Arrow can take like 20 seconds to hit... I don't particularly think anything Vikingo did in this match took very long to set up. The one spot that had any hesitation was the bit where he balanced on the post... I don't think fans are gonna care much, at least the non-trolly ones. Never liked the Black Arrow for that very reason, most of PACs stuff looks great but that is just a bit much for my tastes. Vikingo's stuff looked great, had impact and was done at a great pace to avoid looking too set up. I'm sure it helped having Omega as the opponent in the right place at the right time always. It's the same reason I like Darby's stuff, he's one of the smallest wrestlers on the roster but throws everything into his dives and does not take forever getting into position.
