Kenny Omega teamed up with Hangman Page and Kota Ibushi to put over Bullet Club Gold (Jay White and Juice Robinson) and Konosuke Takeshita at last year’s AEW All In pay-per-view event, and Omega recently appeared in the AEW: All In London 2023 mini-doc to comment on what it was like performing in front of 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium.
You can check out some highlights from his comments below:
On AEW’s place in wrestling: “I know I’m an oddball. I was on the outside looking in all the time. Even when it was with the kind of the TV that I would watch, the kind of games that I would play, the kind of sports that I enjoyed. If there were people like me that liked wrestling in a different way, like the way that we enjoy wrestling, the way that we enjoy watching wrestling, then maybe there should be a place for it.”
On being happy with it regardless of the attendance: “Did I ever think that there would be 80,000 people on one day, in one moment in time, that would pay for a ticket to watch that type of wrestling? No. But I would have been happy if there were 40, 50, 100 people because then I just wouldn’t feel alone.”
