“This Isn’t the NBA, NFL” – Kenny Omega Addresses the Toxic AEW Fanbase
Follow Us
Kenny Omega has been in the wrestling industry for a while now to understand how fans function. While he appreciates the fans for their support, he believes there’s a form of toxicity which exists within them.
During a conversation, Kenny Omega discussed how fans have been divided over wrestlers. He believes the fans are more focused on picking a side than understanding that this is an individual sport, and there aren’t any teams involved.
“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.”

“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.”
