10 HUGE Wrestling Moments That Must Happen By 2022
10. The One-Winged Angel Is Kicked Out Of
Don Callis boasted, to put over his charge's genius, that Kenny Omega "thinks in years".
It was the most accurate thing to ever come out of the self-professed carny's mouth, and the truth of it can be measured by the years Omega has built informing the legend of his One-Winged Angel finisher.
Only one man has kicked out of the one-handed electric chair driver: Kota Ibushi. Throughout the nine years subsequent to that moment, Omega has preserved it as the ultimate kill-shot, in turn getting himself over as one of biggest stars in the wrestling business. The actual objective numbers don't prove this to the bad faith actors, so this insight won't change their minds, either.
But if Omega wasn't a drawing attraction that promoters wished to book in order to make money, this would not have happened.
This commitment will one day pay off and pay off to a seismic extent. When somebody kicks out of the One-Winged Angel, the pop will equal that of any seminal moment in pro wrestling history. Omega will not have to return from exile or injury or make a shock jump to another promotion to generate it. All he'll have to do is write the last sentence of an incredible work of fiction.
The man to kick out of it must be Hangman Page at Full Gear.
If there is ever to be physical illustration of the belief Page needed to overcome his anxieties, it is that life-affirming moment.
