      Mike Tyson also knocked most guys out so fast early in his career that he did not take a lot of hits. He fell off after DaMato died, and his training went to hell. But why would Kenny know anything about boxing when he knows so little about wrestling. The person writing this for SI also seems like he gets all the talking points from Wikipedia and fan sites, so this article amounts to a fan letter to a wrestling magazine.

    @bigbrowski410 Před 11 měsíci +31

    I’m not one of the people who super hates Kenny, but that Mike Tyson comparison is so asinine. Tyson fought the way he did because he was at a significant size and reach disadvantage from most other heavyweights, so he would get close and generate insane power from really short hooks to get the KO and win, and he needed to win because BOXING ISN’T A FUCKING WORK. You didn’t need to get dropped on your head to sell the drama or whatever, just say you wanted to do it and trusted Osprey, that’s literally it. Anything beyond that is just pretentious marking out nonsense.

  • @lordpardus7348

    The move that Osprey used is called Tigerdriver 91. Invented by Mitsuharu Misawa. So yes, this is a REAL move, NOT a botch, and yes, the move is dangerous, and it was one of the most protected finishers in AJPW. Along with Burning Hammer and Ganzo Bomb. Was used very very rarely, when Misawa could not put his opponent away with any other move. Usually it was Kobashi or Kawada on the receiving end of TigerDriver 91. Awesome, just awesome move. What those two numbskulls: Omega and Osprey, fucked up, is that they did NOT protect that finisher. After that TD91, that should have been One Two Three and then Omega should have been carried out because of a "knockout". You PROTECT those finishers, especially the ones created by one of the Gods of Wrestling, such as Misawa. The problem was NOT that they used TD91, but the fact that it was NOT the finish.

      They don’t protect any finishers which is why wrestling is having so much trouble. It’s my main issue with HBK and undertaker matches, they were just big spots and false finishes over and over, made any move in any match look useless afterwards, plus a ton of people copied that format. It’s silly what happened to wrestling. Hogan got over with a damn leg drop and Bret hart could do any move and make it look legit and painful.

    • @xlixity

      ​@@wolfpacsyxxIt made sense for HBK to throw move after move though. He was about to retire so protecting Sweet Chin Music became irrelevant, and he was fighting the fuckin' Deadman. You could suspend disbelief enough for that.
      The problem, as you said, is that what was once a format for retirement matches where soon-to-be retirees gave it their all against impossible odds has become the format for Monday nights and the B-tier PPV.

      Khan pays Meltzer for 5 star ratings. Kenny just has to do moonsaults and girly Japanese moves and Meltzer calls it a classic. Tony also pays off writers like Justin Barrasso to claim that guys like Omega are on a level with Mike Tyson or Patrick Mahomes.

    Comparing Omega to Mahomes and Ohtani? People need to stop being so critical of these AEW wrestlers and start being more critical of the AEW fans. What an absolutely brain-dead article written by this super mark

    Moxley doesn't realize that real athletes have real coaches telling them what to do.

    Kenny Omega showed he knows nothing about boxing or a real life fight.

    That article is hilarious because Patrick Mahomes DOES get coaching. He has a quarterback coach. Jokic (pronounced yo-kitch by the way) and Ohtani all have coaches that they listen to. That's part of the reason they're good.

    Omega and Moxley citing real sports to justify the things they do is next level delusion.

    and now he is indefinetly out of wrestling because of his injuries. he is detached from reality, thinking he can do these stuff without consenquences.

    How many more wrestlers need to die, get paralyzed, or die early because of needless moves like this. This is sad. Omega is already walking more like Mick Foley every day.
