- AND NOW… HE is the newest guest on The Sessions. HE is a former AEW, IWGP and AAA Heavyweight Champion. HE is discussing his new contract, AEW’s women’s division and believe it or not, the incident at All Out. HE almost played hockey apparently, which was a surprise to us. Zooming in from somewhere we presume isn’t deep breath NORTH CAROLIIINAAAAAA…. KENNY OMEEEEGAAAAA!!!!

The whole Mox/Omega feud was gold. We need more of that.
Kenny's recovery from the ridiculous amount of injuries that he was working through, has been really inspiring for me. I had hip surgery in 2020 and it took me out. It's hard recovering from these type of surgeries, the amount of blood sweat and tears that go into physical therapy. It's mentally exhausting on top of it all. That's been my life the last 4 years, and this man did all of it in such a short amount of time just to return for our entertainment. He'd never see this comment but Kenny Omega matches are about the only thing that have gotten me this far in my own rehab, and it's getting my cousin through his mom having terminal cancer. To say you have fans for life is an understatement.
STAY STRONG BEAUTIFUL EYES 😘😺🐈😺😺😺😺😺😺😺 HOPE EVERY THANG WILL GO GREAT 4 U BEAUTIFUL 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️ U SOUND AMAZING BEAUTIFUL
and he gonna give us a good match with hob and the bucks, because never disapoint
Omega really is a beast
All those Japan matches really got him but he’s one strong Individual
Kenny Omega’s plants are a work, the man is a wrestler through and through.
Kenny seems like the most genuinely wonderful person... I wish nothing but the absolute best for him, whatever his future holds.
He seems like such a passive aggressive sneaky douche, what are you seeing?
For me if Kenny goes to WWE. I will have more opportunities to see him since the WWE tour a lot on the East Coast. Kenny and the Bucks can just focus on wrestling instead of having AEW on their shoulders.
@@tallglasscocoa6105 Don't expect the same Kenny Omegalomaniac if he goes to WWE. There will be no 5000 V-Triggers and ridiculously overproduced matches and spots. He'll have to wrestle the WWE style, and Vince McMahon is back calling shots behind the scenes. He was the one who insisted on Brock Lesnar Vs. Omos at Wrestlemania. If you think Kenny will be running the show up there, think again.
@@ringspan2731 Kenny Omega Will be the most wanted man in WWE. Every wrestler will want a match with him. Just like when WWE bought WCW. The Undertaker vs Sting. We never got that match. Kenny vs Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns or John Cena. Kenny wrestling Indy talent like Kevin Owens, or Sami or Ricochet. Maybe some of the NXT talent would love to wrestle him. It's like boxing against Mike Tyson when Tyson was still in his prime. Everybody wants to know if they can go against the best bout machine.
@@tallglasscocoa6105 He's not going to WWE. Mark my words. And he's not nearly as good as you make him out to be. Best bout machine. Nah. He's no Kurt Angle.
Kenny is such a humble and appreciative wrestler I have ever heard
Cherish this man so much in general and I’ll always support him no matter what he does for rest of his career. ❤
Unless he goes to wwe and renders his career over.
👆🏽word
Gaaaaaay
Kenny might be🤷🏽♂️ ever seen him with a woman?
Facts!!
Love that he's wearing Sami's My Dawg t-shirt 😍
Yeah wazzup with that? Makes you curious if he's going to wwe or something
@@chrisszyyy He's just friends with Sami, everyone is friend with Sami, how can you not be friend with Sami ?
@@chrisszyyy watch the interview. He’s repping it because they’re good friends and that the profits from the shirt will go towards to Syria.
@@chrisszyyy he actually wrestled him a good bit on the indies and smaller promotions when he was still going by El Generico, I assume they became friends over that time since Omega is fairly close with KO too.
is that a play on the used's bert is my homeboy shirt?
As a huge Kenny Omega fan, I can say the storytelling through the match is what made me such a big fan. He's better than he even realizes. I heard his name buzz from his work in njpw and had never watched non American wrestling before. You have to be amazing for me to have known your name without ever seeing you wrestle for an American company on TV. Going back and watching the Omega vs Okada matches and his work in AEW has only solidified that.
Watching the Omega Okada matches in chronoligical order is somethin that every wrestling fan should do
@@Kr4ShSkeL seriously it should be required
"Story telling" 🤣🤣🤣
He’s called himself the best wrestler in the world many times! Think he realises how good he is 😂
@@FreshNews247 yes storytelling
Kenny definitely wears his heart on his sleeve. I’m shocked he’s never gotten a partner. He’s so genuine and you can tell he’s a sensitive soul. Always wanting to help others.
He is a former IWGP Heavyweight champion, a former and the best AEW world heavyweight champion, a G1 Climax winner, he is an IWGP junior heavyweight champion, he is the Golden Pipe, he is the Winnipegian Wizard, he is the GOD of pro wrestling and the GOAT, he is Kenny Bah Gawd Omega
All minor leagues, until you’ve done it on the big stage … can’t be considered for the GOAT
And impact championship
@@11sdownie Pretty sure a guy that has achieved everything outside of one overrated promotion is greater than someone that's only achieved the top in JUST 1 "major" promotion 😉 👍 😀 👏.
Not a goat, sorry marks
@@Solo-5050 not necessarily I mean he made his name in one company so the other minor leagues gave him whatever while someone like John Cena carried WWE for a long time. Not saying Cena is the best. For me it's stone cold.
Kenny is a gem of a human being
Start of the Punk discussion around 45:10
Judeskii = hero of the comment section
This isn't to bash WWE but people like Kenny are perfect examples of being able to be a top star without having to have the name superstar and if he wants to be able to help other talent at AEW and being able to go to NJPW and other indie promotions is the most accessible way without being a cog in the machine at WWE.
I hate wwf#!
He's not a top star tho, he's a "top star" in the smaller pool he's in. But someone like Seth Rollins or AJ styles are much bigger stars then he is, even someone like the the Miz is a bigger star.
@@TheTennesseeFistMachine top star depends on how you're defining it. He's a top star in the world of wrestling. He's not a top star in the overall entertainment world, which is where Rollins, Styles, and Miz would be. Miz is a bigger star than any of the other names you named, depending on how we define it.
@Smoosh Oparatar wrestling world and entertainment world become 2 different elements, people like rollins seem like they are more on top because they work for a bigger company and to a bigger audience, bigger doesn't always mean better. Will osprey could outwrestle the majority of WWE's locker room but probably wouldn't ever end up in a movie like some big WWE names. I mean this based on a wrestling perspective. I mean if you ask me and he's an opinion (I know hard to take these days on the internet) but WWE lack any actual wrestling anyway, most matches are kicks and punches with the odd areal move and 2/3rds of the show is basically talking and drama like a reality TV show.
You also mention AJ, he was one of the best in TNA/Impact throughout his career and like many others in WWE now sits at midcard and will never shift.
Bigger audience doesn't mean better product, just most people when they get into a hobby or interest will go straight to the biggest company. This is seen in the console market , movies series (marvel), smartphones (apple) etc. And they know they have an audience that will buy their products regardless of price because of brand loyalty. Anyway I'll stop rambling, but Kenny is one of the best
@@TheTennesseeFistMachine LMAO NO, WWE wants Kenny Omega because of how huge a star he is. Miz isn't a wrestling star, he can't do the things Kenny can do nor does he have the fanbase Omega has.
There are not many better interviewers in any field than Renee. Pro's pro. Well done.
Her and CVV are the two best in my opinion.
She’s terrible. She doesn’t LOOK AT CUES when guests are to speak, it’s unprofessional, she’s meant to be journalist but she’s not, she just drinks and squeaks way too close to the mic.
She’s a great promo
@@DisastrousIntentionally cvv kisses ass. Renee does not
She interrupts the guest's to much.
we need to protect kenny at all costs this guy is way to good for us wrestling fans that is exavtly why hes the god of professional wrestling! one of the most humblest and chillest dudes ever and i can proudly say im a omega fan always !
His mic skills suck... While he's proven to be one of the hardest workers in wrestling his promos lack inspiration, emotion, and don't illicit any hype for his upcoming fights.
If youre really saying that about Kenny omega then you are a shit fan of wrestling all together look at his time in new japan , his story telling along with his promos are phenomenal even now in aew so i really dont know what youre talking about bud …
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMindwho cares though. He’s more than just a professional wrestler. He’s definitely one of the most nicest and caring towards the fans.
I love hearing Renee and Kenny get excited talking about hockey.
Love Kenny Omega. Hope him & The Young Bucks will be at Dynamite & Rampage in Pittsburgh next month.
Fuck no it’s time for him to be with another Company like Japan, wrestling or WWE or whatever company
I need to see another run from Kenny with the World title! That first run was incredible
69 me don 🫤🫤🫤
Definitely
Great interview thanks both
Love ya Kenny keep pushing the boundaries of pro wrestling.
Never seen the sessions go down a click bait route with any posts or clips (let me know if I’m wrong). Renee doesn’t go down any cynical routes as an interviewer and has true class. No wonder Kenny was so comfortable.
She asks the questions that everyone does want to ask, but she doesn't push. Which is great, she lets her guests say what they are comfortable with saying, nothing more. 'Gotcha journalism' is such a skeezy thing.
She asks good questions without being an asshole. It's rare. It's why this show is so good.
I remember the first interview I saw him do not in character and I was almost a little unnerved by how understated his entire actual persona was. He's so calm and down to earth and it almost puts you in a trance when he talks. Just a genuinely nice guy who loves to wrestle and is great at it.
You know what makes this interview even better? They're both Canadian! 😃
Living Legend💯
And Kenny's pretty good too
Great convo. Where will Kenny end up? AEW? WWE? Who cares? Wherever makes him happy and wherever feels right for him. I support this man.
Whoever pays him the most money to enjoy a comfortable retirement once it's all said and done.
Ong im a aew fan but if he end up on wwe I will always support this guy
Exactly. It's not up to us to decide where he goes. It's up to him.
A goali, ff7 superfan, speaks Japanese, he likes comics, and loves wrestling, I never thought there would be a human being that has so similar interests like I do and we grew up in different parts of the world
The way Kenny wrestled when he had all the health issues I don’t see how he wouldn’t be in the discussion as Goat!
Me, twirling my hair listening to this interview: I am Renee's mom.
Seriously, beyond my silly celebrity crush, Kenny is an amazing wrestler and appears to be a kind and genuine person.
From watching Renee on the score after raw and smackdown. To hearing of kenny and falling I'm love with this man and the bucks through bte. This brings me much joy.
I love Kenny!!! So glad you got to interview him Renee 🙏🏻
This man is so humble and chill and such a great storyteller.
much respect to omega tough dude
God, I hope this man stays in AEW.
God, I hope he goes and plays with the giants in the E.
I hope not.. he and the bucks have become stale it's time to go to the big time
@@darbs3168 Except they haven't - otherwise you might have resembled a valid point.
@@eddiemurphy6031 the wwf is being sold to Saudi Arabia trust 😆
@@eddiemurphy6031 Like Dominic?
Omega not just a great wrestler but a great human being
But remember, he "killed the business," so he is worse than Snuka. /s
@@mrjh637 He literally did the opposite of 'killing the business'
The absolute best in the world and he is so humble
The GOAT question, I like how he fielded that one. I find it interesting that in some ways he sacrifices a lot of credibility by choosing to spread his wings and do such a mixture of match styles and feels, whether it's comedy on American TV or a Wrestle Kingdom main event. The other current wrestlers in the conversation for me are Jay White, Will Ospreay and PAC - the difference between Kenny and them, is they have their shtick and they stick to it. Kenny is basically taking a post-modern approach to the craft, where there's an acknowledgement of the understanding that as part of this is fantasy and role play, the character you portray between the ropes is wet clay in your hands night after night, where as Jay White's character is very deeply complex on multiple ridiculously realised and subtle levels, and Ospreay and PAC do enough character wise to give themselves a credible base for the athletic claims they make and own in the ring.
" the craft" you are what's wrong with wrestling
@@jinmochizuki is it still real to you damn it?
@@sepiarain he still think wrestler are robot taking steroid
@@jinmochizuki why is that? People refer to the inner workings of their profession as “the craft” all the time lol. That’s literally what it means.
Kenny has always been a great representation of what wrestling can be, I've never watched him and went ya know maybe there's something missing with him. He has everything you want as a promoter, and the guy works so hard to give the fans what they want.
Love how humble this man is. Pure Gold 🙌🏾
The interview we all needed 🙌
Omega makes Canada proud. What a legend and very deserving to be in the GOAT discussion.
Lol really? PROUD?
Were you proud when during his career in Japan he did the following?
1. Wrestled a blowup sex doll
2. Wrestled a 6 year old girl
3. Participated in a match where the competitors had to stick their fingers up each other's asses
Ya'll take pride in some strange things up there.
@@thebrokenglasskids5196 Yes those are all great moments in history. Seriously though: you do realize he was wrestling in JAPAN. Right? They're into crazy shit over there. Even in the WWE they have done a ton of crazy stuff but Japan in on a different level.
@@p0ck3tp3ar Call me crazy, but regardless of what country I was in, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t do any of those things. But then again, unlike Kenny I care about respecting myself.
If someone else that you weren’t a mark for did those things I highly doubt you’d be attempting to excuse it with the “but it’s Japan” defense.
Notice how someone like AJ Styles never did shit like that during his time wrestling in Japan. Or any of the countless others that made their name over there. They didn’t have to because unlike Kenny, they had actual legitimate wrestling talent. He’s a cosplay comedy act.
@@thebrokenglasskids5196 Comedy has always been a huge role in wrestling. Perhaps Kenny can pull it off because he has more comedic talent than Styles?
WWE has had a tremendous amount of completely absurd comedy (which I never found funny btw). I don't find wrestling dolls funny either. I don't give a shit about comedy in wrestling. But it's a part of it for sure.
It's not about respect either. Kenny was doing the job he had to do to survive. A lot of wrestlers were or have gone or will be homeless. Its very serious when you might not be able to even eat or have shelter. Case in point: This all goes far beyond your very simplistic stance.
@@p0ck3tp3ar That might hold water if he were not still doing primarily goofy cosplay comedy wrestling to this very day in AEW. That’s my broader point - he does it because he thinks it’s _good_ , not because he _has to_ as you try to allege.
The man is capable of putting on good competition-based matches (I’d point to his matches against Danielson in AEW as an example). But then the other 90% of the time he _chooses_ to do the silly crap with the Bucks and Cutler and their outlaw group of misfit mudshow goof-offs.
It makes a mockery of the wrestling business and that’s why outside of their neck beard and weeb niche fan base on Reddit they and he have never moved the needle amongst the majority of serious-minded fans who prefer actual pro wrestling and not his over the top constant 4th wall comedy cosplay shtick.
He’s capable of doing better, but he chooses not to. That’s the basis for the criticism he receives from the majority of people in the industry outside of marks like Meltzer and Tony Kahn.
The silver lining with the barb wire death match snafu is that atleast it happened to the absolute only two guys who could make the best of the shitty situation. Moxs and Eddies promo the next week was great and Eddie still selling that he's afraid of fireworks on aew to this day is fantastic.
Kenny is just Kenny. That's why I like him so much. I can see one more world title run in AEW just because he's Kenny. Him and the Bucks are definitely staying in AEW. I actually won't be surprised to see Cody return to a backstage role in AEW after his family destiny is completed.
Thank you AEW for restoring my love of pro wrestling.
with gymnastic mudshow wrestling
@@fwef7445 Get your own personality and words.
@@fwef7445 dude shut up! Damn! I like cornette but damn a lot of his fans are ridiculous
Renee is so bloody good at interviewing
Kenny is brilliant, humble and such an amazing storyteller. Much respect and love for bringing up the infamous Barbed Wire match. Ouch lol.
They were talking about the women's division near the end of the interview.... I'd love to see leyla hirsch return! She easy to support. Wonder if her knee has healed. Everyone loves that david vs. goliath story she can tell. She's like the female kurt angle in terms of skill level too.
You have talent that because it's YOU fans don't care if you're baby face or heel you're going to get over with US! Kenny is definitely one of those rare breeds that you're going to root for because every damn day BF or Heel hes the form of entertainment that possess the price of admission!
I mean u always cheer for legends, kenny is a legend
Amazing interview! KENNY NUMBER ONE !!
Kenny Omega made me come back to pro wrestling 6 years ago.
Same here man. Respect to this absolute legend !
Then following Kenny since he was a noob in Ring of Honor and definitely followed him through Japan.
So glad to see all the hard work he's put in finally he gets what he put in.
Kenny Omega and Young Bucks are some of the Greatest Storyteller of Pro Wrestling
Great Interview!!! 💯😎🤙
I've seen documentaries and behind the scenes stuff of kenny over the years and this man seems to be the nicest guy in the world, so when you see him in his wrestling persona , especially as a cocky heel, should make everyone appreciate how good this man is, and for everyone who doubts his work you are blind, this man changed the game period.
We love Kenny. Just not TYB
The best wrestling interview of all time!
People respect and like GREATNESS kenny. That's y we love watching u in AEW.
Kenny Omega is such a great wrestler. I've followed wrestling for forty years and Kenny is sooooo smooth with his moves . Nuts good, and for the fact he loves computer games and batman (TAS) makes me like him even more. Great interview as always Renee. In regards to the exploding barbwire death match I remember really enjoying that match,Mox and Kenny work awesome with each other, it was such a shame it had to end that way, but I definitely didn't take away how awesome that match was , the bit that got me was Eddy protecting Jon from what looked like sparklers 😂
Kenny puts so much effort and thought into his work that’s sad when something doesn’t work out the way he wanted and I know that one match must have specially hurt because he wanted it to be good, he wanted it to be perfect and honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen something go sideways for him.
Wow, studying weekly cartoons? I admire this man's dedication to bettering his craft (and catching up on Batman).
Aw, Kenny. Even when you're being the most villain-y villain, you get the Competence Like - the respect or appreciation for actually being able to do (in most cases) what you say you will.
Folks love or hate a bumbler, depending, but they'll always give the competent their due.
Swerve's podcast and now Renee's podcast ? A lot of great Kenny Omega's interviews in the the last few weeks
GREAT PODCAST.
TNK YOU RENEE, AND:KENNY!
Kenny I like you as a wreslter cause your amazing...I like you as a person, cause even as NJPW champ you still came home to peg to put on a show to that small bar you started it...WE all love you dude and miss ya but love seeing you on big stage.
Catty Omega's appearance was the star of the show
Around 16-17 minutes in they talk about the different styles of wrestling, and how people expect american wrestling to look like american wrestling. And this perfectly explains why you have SO MANY people who lose their minds about AEW and non-WWE wrestling; they've had years or decades of being told "THIS IS WHAT WRESTLING LOOKS LIKE" and so the moment they see something different, they interpret it as "wrong" instead of "different" or "new".
Kenny Omega knows and understands wrestling much better than his detractors, especially the short sighted, outdated boomers like corney. And the breath of fresh air that we have with these more flavorful, unique, buffet of wrestling is so welcome.
This was a great interview, wholesome, honest, careful, genuine-read-between-lines candid sit down.
Keep up your awesome stuff Reneé, you've been beyond entertaining since your beef with Kevin Owens SUBSCRIBE People!
Best Bout Session Machine. Another great interview with Kenny. The mantra is Change the World, and, where else to do it than in AEW. The company is named really after him with the Bucks. You can change the world with AEW in wrestling, it already has.
I still cannot believe Kenny and the Final Boss, MOX did that Lights Out Non Sanctioned match. Landing on the boards, suplex on the barb wire bed, my goodness.
Cat People Rule!
Love the description
Kenny is a treasure ❤
Kenny wearing the #SamiForSyria shirt 💯
It's amazing that Kenny basically woke up into the middle of a hurricane and everyone (probably correctly) assumed his only motivation was to save a cute little puppy dog.
Kenny's plants aren't fake; they're predetermined.
Awesome interview. Anytime I see a Kenny omega interview, my heart gets refilled with the love of wrestling. Pretty cool.
"Just with a knock or an open door right?" Renee mad slick.
GREAT INTERVIEW Y'ALL 💪💪💪💪 KENNY IS THE MAN
Come on Kenny, you are a Winnipegger, that means so much to me( Winnipegger myself) and the city of Winnipeg. we are a small city, i'm very proud to be a Kenny Omega fan.
Humble, down to earth, definitely not what I expected from Kenny, he's like the complete opposite when he's in AEW 😆 much for Kenny Omega, great interview, if he goes baby face, I would like to see him, and Christian Cage have go at it, Christian as Champion though
18:38-43:10-52:08-54:03
I think something that can be a different and fresh thing for Kenny Omega it's to tag again with Adam Page, back at the beginnig of AEW that tag team was great, they haved a lot of good matches, a lot of chemistry and easily top 5 AEW tag team champion
Whether it's on the mic or inside the squared circle, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega is exceptional.
Furthermore, Kenny Omega has already cemented his wrestling legacy and will be considered as one of the greatest of all time.
Yup! Best Bout Machine Ever period!
Not a big Omega fan but he definitely seems like a nice and classy person.
You know why you have fans Kenny, you're the best.
Imagine a world where Kenny Omega and Carey Price were team Canada's goalies... 🤯
As Omega fan I only just a storytelling of the match the storyline match storyline through the match in after the match it reminds me of a well-produced dramedy like on HBO I can't wait to watch Kenny Omega I can't wait to see Kenny Omega Kenny Omega match in person
The best Bout Machine interviewed by the best interviewer in the game. Sign me up.
I first heard of kenny when I saw him in njpw I used to just watch aew and wwe but watching other shows like Impact and njpw really sold me on being a pro wrestling fan, I am so glad I stopped being a hater on wrestling these shows are pretty lit to see live
kenny 🧡
This is awesome 👏🏼Kenny good guy 💯
I'm glad Kenny was able to confirm that he'll be going to NXT to save the next generation :D
No, but this was a great interview. Well done Renee!
Just 2 bad*ss Canadians hanging out! I loved this interview, and Kenny looks comfortable with talking to Renee. He hardly ever looks truly comfortable in interviews but here he looks happy; genuinely happy.
I remember a older interview omega did and he made a statment of his personal dream match is him vs aj styles at wm or in the toyko dome
Kenny "BY GOD" Omegaaaaaaaaaa
Dope to see him in a sami zayn shirt 🔥
Renee, thank you for doing this! Your podcast is great, and you allow us a viewpoint into the people we watch all the time.
Tyson, you are an amazing person who is so talented and yet does not have a god complex and truly cares about the fans and giving back to people and to your profession. Thank you for sharing yourself with us here and in pro wrestling!
Kenny’s thoughts on Brawl Out is exactly what everyone involved should be thinking. Everyone should put I away and do what’s best for AEW!!!
The gif @45:12 is from the tv series community from the episode "remedial chaos theory".
It's a must watch series
See I watch things like this and I seriously wonder how anyone can dislike Kenny, it's odd that someone can be such a kind hearted person, yet get so much crap...
One can be kind and gentle and King of the Marks as well.
Because people think that not liking the way someone works as a wrestler means that sending actual hate towards them is deserved.
Just great, great character building on his part.
“And that’s the poopy part.” 😂😂 Never change
Great interview
Probably one of the most important interviews of the year. Finally, the GOAT, KENNY OMEGA. What a cool guy that is also a great role model once you learn more about him.
Kenny is just awesome 😎
