Bukamania Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Jericho/Omega stuff has been tremendous so far and makes me hyped for 04/01. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Omega going anywhere any time soon, though. He's a lock to either win the belt this year or win the G1 again, and I cant fathom that he won't go on last with Okada at next year's Kingdom so no, I can't see him leaving any time soon.

Rosler28 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Omega doesnt need the wwe. Hes got money and fame and gets to work when he wants. Sounds like a good deal to me. But if wwe came knocking hed go as who wouldnt want to be at wrestlemania. The press conference was very well done. Made it seem real.

WyattSheepMask Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I wasn't suggesting that he needs WWE per se, but if they were to make a good enough offer you'd expect him to take it. It's all hypothetical at this stage, but if they can lure AJ Styles away with a good deal and convince Shinsuke Nakamura to relocate from his homeland and promotion, they could get Omega if they wanted to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosler28 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 But would Omega in the wwe take to it like AJ did or would he end up like Nakamura ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D@mm Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think Omega would be unfairly compared to AJ Styles, if he comes in with The Young Bucks then I think he would have a better chance then if he came in on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny is in neither of those boats. His course is far from run over there, he loves Japan, and he's got the Jacksons with him. Plus if we want to argue they could get him, financially, I'm not convinced they'd offer him enough to come. I don't think they'd want him enough. In terms of the US fan base he represents far more of an unknown commodity that Styles did thus more of a gamble. I'm not convinced "WWE would pay Omega up to X" and "Omega would leave New Japan for Y" has a solution for X = Y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought we'd get Omega/Ibushi next year - that must have been a lock for this year's WK, until the Jericho match became a possibility. While going with Jericho was absolutely the right choice, it is a shame that it's at the expense of one of the most intriguingly built matches they could run with, given the years of history between the two. I think, by next year's WrestleKingdom, we either finally get the Kota Ibushi vs. Kenny Omega match, or else Omega is booted from Bullet Club and teams with Ibushi to try and take them down. 13 hours ago, WyattSheepMask said: I wasn't suggesting that he needs WWE per se, but if they were to make a good enough offer you'd expect him to take it.

Styles to WWE was always about the money - as soon as they made it worth his while, why wouldn't he go? Omega talks a big game about not wanting to work there unless things are exactly the way he wants them to be and, honestly, I believe him. I don't think he'll leave NJPW until he's had a title reign and a singles match with Kota Ibushi, and that if he does leave it'll be because he's done all he can there - but by that point, I don't think there'll be that much hype around him on a global scale any more. WWE really needed to bring him in as soon after the first Okada match as possible - he's a guy that, to a wider audience, needs to already have some momentum behind him to have a decent run in WWE, much like Styles debuting in the Rumble. And, like air_raid said, Omega doesn't really fit the usual "gaijin" bill - he's not just there to make the big money, then come back to his family in the US. He lives in Japan, is perfectly happy there, and doesn't seem to have any real desire to return to North America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that sadly is the reason why I think we may never see the Young Bucks in a WWE ring, not anytime soon anyway. As long as they are making good money on the indies (and according to reports they are making a killing), then it would need a VERY good offer from WWE. Especially seeing as they (or one of them, at least) have a young family they won't be seeing regularly. Sure, they're marks and making a name for themselves in the WWE is still probably be their ultimate goal, but I don't think they will do it unless all their ducks are lined up. Which is a damn shame, because they could become a legit legendary WWE tag team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 There is an iOS app too, although it is pretty much just the website that you can access through your browser. It does allow for you to use chromecast though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
