Omos recently spoke with a Japanese social media influencer on the streets of Tokyo about his experiences in Japan.
The WWE Superstar said that the people in Japan are very kind, and although he had to adjust to the food at first, he now enjoys yakiniku (grilled meats).
When asked about the biggest culture shock he experienced in Japan, Omos pointed out the numerous rules in the country.
The Nigerian Giant also revealed that his shoe size is 18.
Omos will stay in Japan for a while, as he is set to compete at a Pro Wrestling NOAH event on January 19.

During a recent edition of his “The Stevie Richards Show,” former ECW wrestler Stevie Richards discussed the notorious ECW One Night Stand 2005 event, recognized for its violence, especially the Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka match.
Richards pointed out that the finish of the match, where Awesome went through a table, wasn’t even visible to the majority of the audience since it happened behind a barricade.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Mike Awesome not having great ring psychology: “For everything Mike Awesome could do athletically and physically, he had zero psychology. His psychology sucked. This is not your main course, this is like eating your ice cream first before the main course, it makes no sense, and that’s what makes me feel bad because they made their mark here but what memorable moment did Mike Awesome and Tanaka ever create?”
On how the risks Mike Awesome took weren’t worth it: “He hurt himself doing this dive, but did it sell an action figure, did it sell a t-shirt, did they get any kind of residuals off of this that made it worth it? No, I don’t think so. We watch it now, but it’s like, awesome match but what do you remember about it? He hit him with a chair, went through a table.”
On feeling like the brutality of the match was dumb:
“I met Mike backstage at the show, and he seemed like a very kind, easygoing guy, nobody ever said he was a bad guy, but this is just stupid. The whole thing is dumb.”On the finish of the match: “The finish happens where three-quarters of the people can’t see the finish in the audience. You could’ve done this spot even in the ring.”
