Kenny Omega on WWE: “I Work Better Within Restrictions”

Kenny Omega on WWE: “I Work Better Within Restrictions”

Newly-crowned IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega made some interesting comments during a recent interview with Wrestling Inc that are sure to get the rumor mills churning again.

In response to a question about how he would cope under the creatively restrictive environment of WWE, Omega stated:

“I actually work better within restrictions. When you leave everything wide open things tend to get a little convoluted. So when you give me those restrictions and I start to use my brain creatively to work around those that’s when things get interesting.”

Omega also discussed how he would deal with having to shine in five-minute television matches should he ever wrestle for WWE:

“I mean no, you’re not going to get a seven-star match or six or five in a seven-minute segment but I always do the best I can to make that segment memorable and entertaining and I think that’s always the name of the game.

The thing is too it’s like, ‘Hey if you ever go to WWE what are you gonna do if you only get five minutes?’ I mean sure you’d have nights like that but would I take a contract with WWE if I were not gonna be able to show the best of Kenny Omega? That would be a disservice to fans to professional wrestling, it would be a disservice to my own career all the hard work I put in.

I would for sure make sure that I was able to show the best of what I do and that requires a little bit of time. So yeah, things like that don’t really worry me I think I would be fine.”
