During a recent appearance on the “CHGO Blackhawks” podcast, AEW wrestler Kyle Fletcher named Kenny Omega, Jeff Hardy, and Jushin Liger as people who have inspired him. He said,
“Kenny Omega. He is someone that, he might be, in my books, the greatest in-ring performer of all-time. I still, to this day, will go back and watch his Tokyo Dome main event with Tanahashi. I’ll go back and watch his matches with (Kazuchika) Okada, his matches with (Tomohiro) Ishii. I’m in awe, and every single time, I’m like, ‘Ah man.’ I’m gobsmacked. Kenny, to this day, is the one I can go back and watch and always enjoy.”
During a recent edition of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone lavished praise on Shelton Benjamin. He said,
“I have a lot of time for Shelton Benjamin. Not only as a wrestler, but as a human being. God, he’s legit. The word was always that, when it comes right down to it, Shelton Benjamin’s probably the toughest guy in wrestling. I’ve heard that for years. And after seeing him in the ring, I can see why they say that.”
