Kenny Omega Matchups
Kenny Omega Matchups
I'd been said that Kenny Omega would like appear in ROH later this year. Who would you like to see him face off with?

Re: KennY Omega Matchups
Ospreay is the top name that comes to mind. With Cole gone and Scrull being impossible due to being in Bullet Club, I guess other than Ospreay I'd like to see him against... um... the top names that keep coming to mind are Jay White, KUSHIDA, & Hiromu, LOL.
Re: KennY Omega Matchups
I'd still like to get the Omega vs. Castle match that didn't happen because of Visa issues.

Re: KennY Omega Matchups
God this roster fucking sucks.
vs. Ospreay
vs. Scurll
vs. Castle
The Elite vs. Best Friends and a fitting 3rd wheel
Seriously don't give a shit about any other matchups for Omega.

Re: KennY Omega Matchups
Jay Lethal without selling a rib injury
Silas Young
Dalton Castle
Marty Scurll
Kenny King
Punishment Martinez
Chuck Taylor
And just because I'm a Stevie Richards mark, Stevie. I don't care how you justify it. I don't care what kind of match.

Re: KennY Omega Matchups
Good call on Kenny King. Those two are always great together.
Re: KennY Omega Matchups
Other than a Lethal rematch, I'm also drawing a blank. I guess I would also like to see Main Event Kenny squash Martinez or something?

Re: KennY Omega Matchups
You couldn't get into Omega vs Castle or Omega vs Silas? Jay Briscoe?
Re: KennY Omega Matchups
For Castle and Silas, I think they would be tough sells, even as semi-main events. You don't want deliberately to book Omega into matches that are pale versions of his usual matches. His phenomenal workrate is such a crucial component to his flash of momentum--steering towards Omega-lite just hurts everyonefamicommander wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2017 3:06 pm You couldn't get into Omega vs Castle or Omega vs Silas?

I was clamoring for a Jay Briscoe cross-promotional singles attraction in 2014 and 2015. It doesn't have the same flavor now, but I can still see both guys being motivated to put an excellent match together. Good call.

Re: KennY Omega Matchups
I think Castle and Young could both hang with Kenny in the ring. It's just that they two haven't been presented to the audience as being on his level as far as their booking goes. I think the matches themselves would be fantastic even if there weren't necessarily any tension about the outcome or a coherent storyline to go along with it.
Re: Kenny Omega Matchups
The matches would definitely be fun, but you would devalue the title and Omega really quickly. Booked as they are, it would make Omega look weak to even go twenty minutes with them, which, considering ROH's current match beat, maybe that's not their biggest concern.
Still, this is probably all moot. Omega will probably only have a few singles matches in ROH. Likely against New Japan's preferred talent, whomever they might be, ROH or otherwise.

I agree with this. Great fantasy booking but bottom line is that Gedo books who Omega facesWilson wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2017 3:23 pm The matches would definitely be fun, but you would devalue the title and Omega really quickly.

Re: Kenny Omega Matchups
I think Omega vs. Jay Briscoe would be pretty neat, and they could get a nice little feud out of it. Maybe have them wrestle to a time limit draw on ROH TV, then the two face each other at an ROH PPV. Besides that I'd like Omega vs. Ospreay, Castle, Martinez, Kenny King, Mark Briscoe, Jon Gresham, Flip Gordon (for the harmless ribs), and Lethal again.
Wait until they announce Omega vs. Taven, just to piss everyone off.

Re: Kenny Omega Matchups
Omega vs. Cheeseburger or bust.
Re: Kenny Omega Matchups
I have an idea...we should all start making asinine suggestions for opponents and say "or bust" at the end.

Re: Kenny Omega Matchups
ROH likes to make weird matchups whenever they get top talent to come in. Like when Shibata came into ROH, first guy he wrestled was SILAS YOUNG. And first guy Tanahashi wrestled in ROH was Mike Bennett, right? So I'm sure they'll do something nobody expects like Kenny Omega vs Punishment Martinez. But I'm still looking forward to whatever happens. Hopefully he is on the Vegas PPV.
Re: Kenny Omega Matchups
It's not that they "like" to throw a random dude at a big name, but more that they're trying to protect top talent who are pushed. Only Briscoe and maybe Lethal would feel like big enough match-ups and are "available", but it's most likely going to be NJPW guys like Ospreay, Trent, and whoever else. I mean, do you think Omega would even bother showing up if you throw him Budget Undertaker, a comedy dork like Castle and the boys, or an undercarder like Silas Young?

Re: Kenny Omega Matchups
I wish Roddy were still here. He's by far the biggest loss and the one I miss the most.
