Recently on The Steve Austin Show, WWE Hall Of Famer Steve Austin welcomed fellow WWE HOF Inductee Jim Ross to the podcast. Among other things, the pair discussed Kenny Omega.
"He's [Omega] very reminiscent to me and indicative of today's [pro] wrestler, what they think, and how they act, and how they perceive the [pro wrestling] business," Austin said. "And I'm not saying any of this in a negative way, just there's a new era and a new wave of thinking. And for us old guys, we kind of have to be willing to hear their point of view because their point of view sometimes isn't what we were raised with."
In Austin's opinion, an unhindered Omega in WWE could be "the next big thing".
"Hands down, he is one of the best in the world, if not the best in the world, in my opinion. If he came to the WWE, if he had any interest in doing so, I think that guy could be the next big thing, the next big draw." Austin added, "I don't know if Kenny in WWE is going to happen. I'm saying he has the most potential of all, if he was given the platform and not be put in a box."
Austin continued praising Omega, saying 'The Cleaner' is "a real deep thinker" and "super talented".
"He may never go to New York, but just when I look out there, Jim, and I ask, who could be the next big draw, he's at the absolute top of my list. Will it happen? Maybe it will and maybe it won't, there are other factors in play, but that's what I think his potential truly is, if he's not to be held back." Austin admitted, "I see so much in this kid that I haven't seen in anyone in a decade, and that's why I'm so high on him."

Moreover, Austin suggested that if charisma really is the most important factor in scouting prospective WWE talents, Triple H should look no further than Omega, who has charisma in spades.
"I was watching an interview Triple H did an [the interview and] said, 'what's the one thing you're looking for most in a person that he's interviewing with to bring into the company?' And the number one thing he said was 'charisma,' and, man, when I see this kid, and I've never met him, but I saw some of his interviews over there in Japan. He speaks fluent Japanese and his mannerism. And, boy, all of a sudden, he started lighting up in the Japanese language. And then, he's speaking in English. He was like a lightning bolt on that microphone."
Austin considered, "hell-a lot of charisma, hell-a lot of presence, and bigger than life personality. And he can go like a son of a b---h in the ring, so he has got all that a true star needs. He has been in the business 15 years or better, so he knows all that. He knows how to get over. He can get over like no one ever did, if the company's really behind him and given that platform. I think he's a guy that's hungry enough to be on board and say, 'hey, I want to be number one, and I'm the next face of wrestling.'"

What does Austinetty know? He always played second fiddle to the Rock and Triple H and hasn't been relevant in 15 years.

Jim Ross Followed through and noted that he respects Omega for staying with NJPW to take care of some "unfinished business".
"He still has unfinished business to do in New Japan because he has accepted some portion of ownership of his role in that company, so being in New Japan to Kenny Omega is important. It's not just about Kenny Omega and his payday, or Kenny Omega and his gimmick sales, or what the Bullet Club does, or blah, blah, blah, or a million things. It's about, 'can he help build the brand that's funding his life right now?' And that's what they're doing. And he has taken ownership of that, 'I have unfinished business and I want to stay here and get this company elevated more.'"
With that said, Ross indicated that he thinks Omega will sign with WWE in 2018. Additionally, JR insinuated that Omega would be leaving money on the table if he never works for WWE, saying Omega "owes it to himself" to have a WWE run.
"When his deal is up in early 2018, as I understand it, that I think he will be in WWE sometime in 2018." Ross averred, "if you're a pro wrestler and you don't have the chance, or you take yourself out of a chance to go to WWE at some point in your career, in your productive years, you might be cheating yourself in my opinion money-wise."

>saying Omega "owes it to himself" to have a WWE run.
JR still running the WWE shill line I see
>>
>>2944350
why does that make him a shill?
if you want to be famous and have a legacy you need to be in WWE
very few people outside of Japan know what New Japan is
>>
well of course kenny could potentially be big if he went to wwe and was let loose.
But WWE are a cancer and will keep him down like they kept bryan and punk, and ryder, and anyone who actually got people excited down

Omega is a one trick pony, he will nothing more than this era's Dolph Ziggler.

>>2944293
>very reminiscent to me
Is Kenny a politicking little bitch that throws a hissy fit when he isn't the centre of attention?

Would your dumbass have heard of Daniel Bryan if he didn't go to WWE?
Dont even answer, you'd be lying if you said you had.

>>2944399

>>2944400
Even the unsuccessful guys you would NEVER have heard of without WWE exposure. Because you don't pay attention to the indies, you fucking mark

>>2944383
Pretty sure all those NXmeme call-ups are getting 50x more exposure from WWE than they ever did in their lifetime.
