Kenny Omega praises Pentagon and discusses WWE

Sep 5, 2018 - by James Walsh

Kenny Omega recently spoke with Sports Illustrated, and praised All In opponent Pentagon and spoke about creating an alternative to WWE…

On Pentagon Jr.: “Pentagon not only has the untrainable ‘It’ factor, but also the rare ability to adapt and succeed wherever he competes. He has a unique charisma about him that fans connect with and regardless of where he competes or what style is prominent, he seamlessly blends in—yet stands apart from everyone else on the card.”

On WWE and wanting to offer a different product to fans: “Fans, wrestlers, and even the general public have been conditioned to believe that there’s an enormous skill gap between WWE and everyone else. A major league and a minor league. It’s either you’re there or you’re just not good enough. While it’s true their collection of talent is undeniable, a small group of us have bet on ourselves and on the unique alternative vision we have for pro wrestling. What they can offer in flash, we can offer in substance. While their writers produce TV for a certain demographic, we’re producing stories for fans that want something a little different. There’s no right or wrong answer as a fan or a wrestler,” said Omega. “Like one, like the other, like both, or even like none. The journey for the ‘Being The Elite’ cast continues and we will still grind and put in the work to create the alternative that we believe has a place in the wrestling world.”
