I’m not one of the people who super hates Kenny, but that Mike Tyson comparison is so asinine. Tyson fought the way he did because he was at a significant size and reach disadvantage from most other heavyweights, so he would get close and generate insane power from really short hooks to get the KO and win, and he needed to win because BOXING ISN’T A FUCKING WORK. You didn’t need to get dropped on your head to sell the drama or whatever, just say you wanted to do it and trusted Osprey, that’s literally it. Anything beyond that is just pretentious marking out nonsense.

The only thing that was stupid about the move was that he kicked out of it. There was nothing that looked more devastating after that.

The move that Osprey used is called Tigerdriver 91. Invented by Mitsuharu Misawa. So yes, this is a REAL move, NOT a botch, and yes, the move is dangerous, and it was one of the most protected finishers in AJPW. Along with Burning Hammer and Ganzo Bomb. Was used very very rarely, when Misawa could not put his opponent away with any other move. Usually it was Kobashi or Kawada on the receiving end of TigerDriver 91. Awesome, just awesome move. What those two numbskulls: Omega and Osprey, fucked up, is that they did NOT protect that finisher. After that TD91, that should have been One Two Three and then Omega should have been carried out because of a "knockout". You PROTECT those finishers, especially the ones created by one of the Gods of Wrestling, such as Misawa. The problem was NOT that they used TD91, but the fact that it was NOT the finish.

They don’t protect any finishers which is why wrestling is having so much trouble.

It’s silly what happened to wrestling. Hogan got over with a damn leg drop and Bret hart could do any move and make it look legit and painful.

[@xlixity]

​@@wolfpacsyxxIt made sense for HBK to throw move after move though. He was about to retire so protecting Sweet Chin Music became irrelevant, and he was fighting the fuckin' Deadman. You could suspend disbelief enough for that. The problem, as you said, is that what was once a format for retirement matches where soon-to-be retirees gave it their all against impossible odds has become the format for Monday nights and the B-tier PPV.

The fact that the tiger driver wasn’t the finish, and they went another 10 min is what pissed me off.

[@socialistbatman1211]

that's not how Nikola Jokic's name is pronounced, and "pretty good" is an understatement. He's a back to back MVP and just won the finals.

[@brianmilici3473]

Think he was trying to keep Jim moving.

[@matthewcox9993]

Brian saying Jokic is good is a understatement. 2 MVPs and only player ever to lead the playoffs in every major category

We love you jim. Never change

Kenny is really trying to take the title “people cornette can’t be in a room In because he’ll kill them on sight” from Russo isn’t he?

[@TheDebu666]

Kenny has fought in MMA and has a winning record. Corny makes podcasts. Sure he is a massive narcissist but that won't help Jim's chances

[@matthewl3002]

@@TheDebu666you have his Sherdog or Tapology profile? And on top of that, Cornette would just shoot him like he threatened to do to Lesnar.

[@bomberdomme7308]

its more like an ongoing competition if you listen to the interview CVV did with Russo just today..

[@vb2806]

​@@TheDebu666Cornette has a gun and he will cripple Kenny shooting his knees. No one said he would fight Kenny only kill or injure him

[@smallcd]

Olivier's "Art" is finger painting level.

[@thenotoriousm.a.g.4156]

Yes, all of those coaches and coordinators not telling star athletes how to improve their game. Good thing there are no analyst either to comment on their gameplay.

[@erickmack4131]

😂

[@NuggetsNBAChamps]

3:10 Can you imagine a world where Patrick Mahomes refused to listen to Alex Smith or Andy Reid, if only.

[@peterlee6374]

Yeah it’s almost like omega has never watched a live sports broadcast or know how pro athletes train Federer is one of the all time greatest and natural tennis players ever Yet he had trainers telling him where he’s going wrong and how he could train better, but heaven forbid someone criticises omega

[@actuallynotsteve]

Holy shit "it's not just my job, it's my livelihood" is Brendan Schaub worthy self ownage. Somebody with ringside tickets to aew PLEASE put that on a sign with a Cornette Face

[@JosieWellz-ux9fd]

This thumbnail is crazy...when you really break it down....the crazied look in Tony's 👀😅😂🤣

[@virgilhawkins7368]

So in this interview, Omega basically admits he knows nothing about wrestling, boxing, or Cirque du Soleil.

[@tthomaselli2]

Is it just me, or, did Brian Last sound like The Joker in the mid-1989 'Batman' around 11:06-11:14 with that laugh?...

[@daleharris3809]

The level to which Omega is detached from reality really is fascinating.

[@XombieLejon66]

3:18 "Nick Jock-Itch" Im fucking dead

[@archaontheeverchosen7980]

Mike tyson is one of the heavyweight goats and this hybrid of a cosplaying street fighter character and Steve Jobs wants to compare lmao.

[@rj5822]

4:26 “ to wrestle a style that is most effective” yeah so effective that it take 30 plus minutes of doing every move in the book, except for a headlock, to put away their opponent 🤦‍♂️

[@jesuszamora6949]

So Kenny just confirmed that he's only wrestling because Cirque du Soleil wouldn't take him, and he's proud of that?

[@shawnkavanagh2951]

when Brian's cackling through the Omega quote at the 11:10 mark has me cracking up

[@Domidomi85]

Why do these articles always sound like North Korean propaganda? I can almost hear the North Korean lady yelling it to my face.

[@leongolgo9950]

I knew this was gonna be HILARIOUS!

[@willmarkley4237]

And for that self trained EVP who was kicked out of Harley Race's wrestling school for injuring other students and who's still learned nothing he's telling us about this art for a move that was for a damn false finish.

[@taylork7530]

I don’t watch football, and even I know that comparing Kenny Omega and Patrick Mahomes as equals in their respective fields automatically makes this article a puff piece.

[@RenoMcDallas]

Kenny Omega describing how to defeat Mike Tyson in Punch Out as if it were real life is on brand.

[@briancoffey4581]

Kenny sounds like he's taking practice runs before spoken word night at his favorite coffee house. On second thought, I doubt he's socially adept enough to hang out anywhere (probably not a coffee drinker either). Oh, Brian's laugh at 12:06 is spectacular!

[@sidhenihilist]

Everyone of those "transcendent athletes" he mentioned have coaches who help them up their game. That tell them how to make their game better and they listen. So that article starts from a bullshit premise and no understanding of what real athletes actually do. Sports illustrated indeed, illustrated with crayons.

[@Kratosx23]

Yes! Jim roasting Omega is the best.

[@williammitchell4417]

Twinkletoes roasting on an open fire...

[@iTubeYourDadsMinge]

Brian needs a medal for that laugh and for his way of quoting articles/tweets etc.

[@davidcook3116]

"Thunderbird with a vintage of Tuesday" is one of the funniest remarks Jim has ever said.

[@jackenyoff7820]

Comparing Omega to Mahomes and Ohtani? People need to stop being so critical of these AEW wrestlers and start being more critical of the AEW fans. What an absolutely brain-dead article written by this super mark

[@Sparkledash1]

*In Count Dookus voice* I've been looking forward to this.

[@ultimungo3423]

Poor man. Knows a bad bump will end his career. Knows he isn't intelligent enough to have a good match without stupid spots unless hes having his hand held. Risks his life for a five star rating. The guys he won't work with are on the other show having the best tag match of the year without nearly killing themselves. It's sad. I feel for him.

[@thegoughandbordenfamily8234]

Khan pays Meltzer for 5 star ratings. Kenny just has to do moonsaults and girly Japanese moves and Meltzer calls it a classic. Tony also pays off writers like Justin Barrasso to claim that guys like Omega are on a level with Mike Tyson or Patrick Mahomes.

[@dabiggchill06]

Brian laughs like the Joker, cackling and shit. It's great.
