IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega spoke with Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard following his match against Pentagon at “ALL IN” last weekend, and below are several interview highlights.
On the type of content he and the “ALL IN” crew are producing:
“Fans, wrestlers, and even the general public have been conditioned to believe that there’s an enormous skill gap between WWE and everyone else,” explained Omega. “A major league and a minor league. It’s either you’re there or you’re just not good enough.
“While it’s true their collection of talent is undeniable, a small group of us have bet on ourselves and on the unique alternative vision we have for pro wrestling. What they can offer in flash, we can offer in substance. While their writers produce TV for a certain demographic, we’re producing stories for fans that want something a little different.”

“There’s no right or wrong answer as a fan or a wrestler,” said Omega. “Like one, like the other, like both, or even like none.
“The journey for the ‘Being The Elite’ cast continues and we will still grind and put in the work to create the alternative that we believe has a place in the wrestling world.”
