Kenny Omega To Impact Wrestling?! MAJOR Indie Star Appears At WWE NXT! WrestleTalk News Video

Kenny Omega to Impact?!

Speaking of stars of Japanese Wrestling, 7 stars if you ask Meltzer, there’s talk that Kenny Omega could work with Impact in the future.

Now, a lot of this chat comes from Impact executive Don Callis who recently appeared on Jim Ross’s Ross Report where the two went into great depth on Omega.

Callis said: “I’ve been on this journey with Kenny Omega since he was a 16 year old kid who I booked. I gave him his first break wrestling for the promotion I had in Winnipeg. And his uncle, The Golden Sheik, who was an indie wrestler in Winnipeg helped train me in the business in 1989, so my roots with Kenny go back many years. I’ve been on this journey with him, and specifically since I’ve been in New Japan and we have a very close relationship.”

Callis revealed that he helped put together the match with Chris Jericho at Tokyo Dome and feels euphoric at Omega’s victory over Okada.

And when pressed on the possibility of Kenny appearing on Impact, Callis seemed positive: ‘I kind of say, ‘never say ‘never” and I think that one of the things that we’ve been doing under Ed Nordholm here at Impact is breaking some long standing paradigms of pro wrestling. The intellectual property stuff that we’ve talked about before, but also we’ve been working with multiple people now.’

He then goes on to namedrop Taiji Ishimori’s Bone Soldier as one example of cross promotional talent appearing on Impact.

But Callis also reckons something will come out of Chris Jericho’s cruise, the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager at Sea, besides of course the brilliant signing of Ricky Steamboat, who is also potentially the venue.

With Ring of Honor talent and Impact talent all rubbing shoulders on this five day floating fiesta, you’ve got to expect some feuds to spin out of this one, Callis defs does:

“It’s going to be Impact and Ring Of Honor on the same cruise ship, so there’s some stuff that’s probably going to happen and I don’t think you can have those talents in a closed environment like that, so we are working, in a sense if you take that, with Ring Of Honor right now.” 

So yeah, expect the sailing to be bumpy.
