Kenny Omega: "If My Motivation Was Money, I Would Already Be In The WWE
IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega spoke with The Business Times while at the gaming convention, Gamestart Asia 2018. Here are highlights from the interview:
Realizing there are more promotions out there other than WWE:
"Everyone has a choice to watch whatever they want. It's okay to like both or other promotions too. When I was growing up, I thought there was only WWE. That's it. One promotion in the world. And then as I grew up, I found that there's local wrestling. There's WCW, there's ECW. In Mexico, there are the luchadores. And then finally, I realized there's wrestling in Japan. I think for many people, they think there's one giant promotion and that's all that there is. It must be the best. But as they expand their palate and their horizons, they realize that, oh, there's other wrestling out there. They might not necessarily like it more but it's an option now. It's cool that there are so many options for people all over the planet."
Learning to speak Japanese:
"It was always a constant struggle. I was trying to learn since 2008. I would buy books and subscribe to online programs and none of it really worked. What I knew was so little and most of it was unusable. I would ask him for translations and he would tell me words and phrases I could use in conversation and I would write them down in my notebook. I would study them and memorize them and eventually, I had a huge list of words and sentences. I was able to look at these words and sentences and take apart the grammar and made my own sentences. I could recite my own thoughts. It was kind of a very strange way to learn but that was how I started to really build my own Japanese."
"I am sort of very much a part of representing an alternative. If my motivation was money, I would already be in the WWE. I was down on the current product and I wanted to create a style and have matches that my friends, my family and other athletes could watch and enjoy. There's a certain kind of-of wrestling fan that will only like a certain style. They think that's the right way and that's okay but I'm not trying to impress those people. Those people are already kind of set in their ways. I'm trying to open the world to a different style, what pro-wrestling has the potential to be."
Mick Foley Talks Some Of The Difficulties He Faced With Being WWE RAW General Manager
After retiring from in-ring competition in 2012, Mick Foley made sporadic appearances in WWEbefore making his return as RAW general manager in 2016. His run ended after eight months, and he discussed his firing on a recent episode of the Not Sam Wrestling podcast.
As general manager, Foley was a fan-favorite who catered to babyfaces and challenged authority, namely Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. Foley said he needed some time off, so he was happy to end his run the way he did. He had an explosive confrontation with Triple H that saw him bring out Mr. Socko and shove it down Triple H's throat. The following week, Foley was fired by McMahon after a scathing promo, and Foley said he wouldn't have had it any other way.
"I definitely needed some weeks off, and let's just say in the interim period, let's just say Mr. McMahon found a shinier toy [Kurt Angle] and I was no longer needed in that spot, but I had a great eight months, and the only thing you can ask for is a good send off, and instead of a soap opera where I would be killed off, I had a glorious firing by Stephanie McMahon," Foley said. "It really was. The week before when I had the face to face confrontation with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, it was one of the best moments that I had in the past 10 years in the business. I had that post pay-per-view rush that I hadn't had in a long time, which was all I could ask for."
Foley admitted he struggled at times with his role as GM. He was surprised by the vitriol he received from fans on social media over some of the decisions he would make. He revealed that at times he would approach Vince McMahon to request more freedom with his promos. All in all, Foley said he enjoyed his run.
"It was a tough job, and the strange thing about it was the unparalleled negativity from the fan base on social media, who apparently thought WWE really allowed a 53-year-old with a fanny pack to run a billion-dollar corporation," he said. "Most of the comments will be negative, and I did have some say in certain instances, and part of that job was to see which battles to fight and why. There would be times when I would talk to Mr. McMahon and say that I would like to handle this on my own. I had some words, and how I say something is more important than what I say. If I had left six or seven lasting impressions in the eight-month span then that is a pretty good track record."
