“The wrestling community can sometimes be toxic, and I hate seeing it in sports. I hate seeing it in video games, and music and movies, where you have fans divided so passionately. People feel like they have to choose a side, and they feel that once they choose that side, they have to defend that side with every fiber of their being. This isn’t the NHL. This isn’t the NBA. This isn’t the NFL. We aren’t teams playing in the same league.”

Kenny Omega reveals the relationship between pro-wrestlers
During the same conversation, the AEW World Champion revealed that he’s working with pro-wrestlers who are like family to him. Hence, even if they are rivals in the ring, outside the ring they are friends. In fact, Omega revealed he wants everyone to achieve the success they aim for.
“We’re all wrestlers, and a lot of us are, regardless of who we represent or who are working for, a lot of us still feel like we’re family. I have friends not only in AEW, but I have friends in New Japan, I have friends in IMPACT, I have friends in WWE. I know it sounds crazy I have friends there, and guess what, I want them to succeed. I still keep in touch with them. I don’t want you to wish ill, or wish harm or wish death upon them, as my fans, and I don’t think that the opposite is true either.”
