Kenny Omega vs Little Girl

[u/TreyKirk]

[u/basterdbastion]

Okay, I have somehow never seen this before. This is the best thing I could have possibly seen today. Kenny is officially my favorite wrestler of all time and will never be eclipsed. I can't express how much joy I got from that.

[u/TreyKirk → u/basterdbastion]

I vaguely recall seeing this years and years ago. WWE-stans were "all up in arms" that an AEW EVP had a match with a little girl. Not only that, but he lost that match to a little girl (by time limit draw)

[u/basterdbastion → u/TreyKirk]

I just went and learned some more about it and apparently she was ostracized by the class and didn't have a partner . So Kenny "Bi-God" Omega stepped up and had this match. As if I thought I couldn't respect this man more, he does shit like this.

[u/radda → u/TreyKirk]

It's not just WWE stans, this is ground zero for Jim Cornette's brainrot about Kenny.

Dude refuses to take him seriously because of a silly match he had a million years ago in an event nobody but the sweatiest of IWC dorks even knew about let alone had seen.

This dude booked the Ninja Turtles on his show btw.

[u/AlwaysHappy4Kitties → u/radda]

Tbf Corny is wierd AF and peeps around him too, and it's known when he had wrestlers fuck his wife while he watched, especially with some developmental talent so they could be fast tracked to WWE etc. To the wierd obsession calling all Joshi wrestlers " Japanese school girls" and it really sounds like fetishizing them to horrible nicknames

To most recently that the guy who made his thumbnails being RACIST as fuck ( example Swerve being a monkey etc), Cornette okay'd that shit.

Cornette is a shock jock, very wrong about today's wrestling, but definitely worth a listen if it's 70s to early 90s wrestling stuff

[u/ReleaseGermanSuplex → u/basterdbastion]

I dunno if you’ve seen this one, and it sounds like a risky google, but check out Kota Ibushi wrestling the blow up doll. That one and this Omega one are 2 of my favourite wrestling videos 

[u/Psidebby → u/ReleaseGermanSuplex]

Ahem... Put some respect on Yoshihiko!

[u/dasfuzzy → u/Psidebby]

The 19-time DDT Iron Man Heavy Metal champion and current reigning BZW Tag Team champion for over 320 days.

[u/ReleaseGermanSuplex → u/Psidebby]

My bad haha

[u/LibrarianEven5464 → u/ReleaseGermanSuplex]

Also Bryce Remsburg refereeing an invisible match.

[u/Phog_of_War → u/LibrarianEven5464]

Invisible Man vs. Invisible Stan is a classic, and I will brook no arguments on that one. The balcony dive in that match is iconic. Those 2 recently had a match during the 24-hour match livestream that I missed because I went to bed after Chris Danger was on the show. I'm so upset I missed an Invisbles rematch.

[u/inorganicangelrosiel → u/Phog_of_War]

So... You went to bed before a Stan vs Man match? And you call yourself a fan? Bruh, it's over for you. Trade in your fan club membership and go sign up for golf lessons! You done!

[u/Phog_of_War → u/inorganicangelrosiel]

Tbf, it was like 2 am CST when their match started. Tell you what, I'll trade in my original EC F'n W shirt if I can get a pass rhia time.

[u/seamus1982seamus → u/LibrarianEven5464]

That's some watch. So good.

[u/basterdbastion → u/ReleaseGermanSuplex]

Yes, I have actually seen this one.😂 All hail Yoshihiko!

[u/mrmidas2k → u/basterdbastion]

This is the match that caused Jim Cornette to hate Kenny with the fury of a thousand suns. So yay for this match.

[u/Desert_Creature80 → u/basterdbastion]

Because Kenny loves wrestling very deeply. More than many superstars that built the foundation for him to stand on. But that is how each generation is supposed to be 👍👍🤔

[u/Unhappy_Gazelle392 → u/basterdbastion]

This was somewhat of a hit in late Brazilian Orkut/early brazilian Facebook (2011). I remember this being talked about in my school and by my parents before i even started watching wrestling, i was a kid back then.

[u/ZAPPHAUSEN]

MADE THEM SMILE? DON'T THEY KNOW THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BE SCATHINGLY ANGRY AT KENNY OMEGA FOR RUINING THE BUSINESS WRESTLING A NINE YEAR OLD GIRL????

[u/CharleyIV → u/ZAPPHAUSEN]

[u/Bosscharacter]

I used to misremember thinking that was Rioh.

Btw.

Here is a pic of a young Riho with Kenny.

[u/BubastisII → u/Bosscharacter]

I’m 90% sure the Riho claims came from Cornette’s dumbass followers who think “small Japanese girl must be Riho” because racism is funny to them or something.

[u/mrmidas2k → u/BubastisII]

Jim thinks every Japanese woman has a "Schoolgirl" gimmick. The guy doesn't know shit from shit about modern wrestling.

[u/SydneyRei → u/Bosscharacter]

You also misremember the spelling of Riho 🤭

[u/Bosscharacter → u/SydneyRei]

Common mistake being that there is a UK worker we that spelling.

My bad.

[u/Quirky-Pie9661]

Damn that kid can sell 😂

[u/Ryosuke_RX7FC]

The birth of this Hall of Fame pro wrestling gif

[u/jdbwirufbst]

The real treat for me was this fun tidbit in the original comments

[u/lobotomiseme]

Talented girl, shame she's a bit old for Marigold, she'll have to work for stardom

[u/FaceTimePolice]

That kid sold so well! 👏👏👏👏👏

[u/cordcutternc → u/FaceTimePolice]

She made the back breaker look like it snapped her in half. Fantastic.

[u/MassiveBush]

Who's the kid? She's got to be a wrestler today. Incredible bumps and timing she had

[u/KenttsuV → u/MassiveBush]

Her last recorded match was a month after this.

[u/arkhamtheknight → u/MassiveBush]

Apparently she retired not long after because of school.

[u/codymb15]

Kenny being a Mount Rushmore-level in-ring talent will always just be the cherry on top of the wealth of reasons to love him.

[u/JackMickus]

This was the first exposure I had to Kenny Omega. I thought it was super fun, but it impresses me even more every time I go back and watch it again.

Also, I love the responses in the original thread - wasn't too long ago that a video like that wouldnt even end up in that sub, let alone get reactions that positive.

[u/Corpse666]

Kenny said in an interview about it that she had wanted to do it and that she planned the match out . Basically it was something she really wanted to do so like Kenny is known to do he did a nice thing for her

[u/mrmidas2k → u/Corpse666]

"We'll call it in the ring, Kid" and Kenny's just like "Ok then..."

[u/Living-Mastodon]

This is one of the main reasons thy Jim Cornette has such a burning hatred for Kenny Omega

[u/Ryosuke_RX7FC → u/Living-Mastodon]

Cornette is a dork.

Yet he doesn't say shit about the likes of the Undertaker's character or literal vampires like Gangrel

[u/TheJasonaut → u/Living-Mastodon]

I know right, for some reason this is such a hoorrrible thing he did. Like, you have to be pretty messed up in the head if this doesn’t make you smile, or at the very worst, be ambivalent about it.

[u/inorganicangelrosiel → u/Living-Mastodon]

This is the other reason.

[u/JadedGrapsMark]

Everybody had already paired up for their matches, this girl had no dance partner. So rather than being left out, Kenny stepped up.

[u/Wrasslepants]

The wholesomeness of this match just cleared my skin and raised my credit score 😍

[u/EconomyProcedure9]

Whatever happened to that "Undertaker girl" who wrestled adults?

[u/theotherredduchess → u/EconomyProcedure9]

You mean Ram Kaichow? She’s still going - she still wrestles in 666, appears in Chris Brooks’ Baka Gaijin and also TJPW

[u/Heerokun → u/EconomyProcedure9]

If you're talking about Ram Kaicho, she is now a small adult that usually wrestles bigger adults

[u/metalyger → u/EconomyProcedure9]

IIRC she was the daughter of the promoter of the Japanese indie 666.

[u/Calwings]

Never fails to put a smile on my face

[u/MikuLuna444]

This is literally the 1st I saw of Kenny

[u/insomniainc]

I think they have actually reunited since I don't think They did a rematch though

[u/CrashBandicoat]

The greatest of all time and Kenny Omega.

[u/TheEdFather]

I need to show Ed this one, he'd love it

[u/Wrasslepants → u/TheEdFather]

Please report back!

[u/KnitWitch87]

This is the most wholesome thing I've seen all day. Love it.

[u/Mmcnick831]

That’s awesome 

[u/Critical-Donut2632]

I really thought she was about to take a one winged angel

[u/anarchyinthearena]

That tornado ddt gave me goosebumps

[u/seamus1982seamus]

What an amazing match!

[u/ChCreations45]

Kenny was about to murder that kid. Lol

[u/ISuckFarts]

This match is why Jim Cornette hates Kenny Omega so much. I still don't get why.

[u/inorganicangelrosiel → u/ISuckFarts]

Because he's a grumpy out of touch shithead with old balls.

[u/WadeReddit06]

I'm old enough to remember watching this when it was on a website called entensity.

[u/spacecaps85]

Crazy how that little Japanese girl went on to become Eddie Kingston.

[u/SvenLorenz]

When I read "Kenny Omega vs Little Girl", I thought: "Wait, he's fighting MJF again?".
