10 Wrestling Moments That Had No Right Being THIS Good
10. Kenny Omega Works A GREAT Match With A Child
Kenny Omega disgraced and exposed an industry that had been exposed for literally 100 f*cking years, if not longer, when he wrestled small child Haruka in a three minute comedy exhibition.
It absolutely rules.
It's not a straight farce. Omega doesn't mock the form. It isn't remotely mean-spirited; Omega, an exceptional comedy wrestler, was intelligent enough to both build Haruka's comeback to a halfway credible extent and grasp what was truly amusing about the premise.
Taking the piss out of wrestling?
Not funny.
Threatening to beat the ever-living sh*t out of a tiny child?
Funny.
He doesn't, of course, because that wouldn't be funny. He actually does at one point, with the safe, precise timing of a pro wrestling genius - and the comedic timing of a very funny man - but he mostly flexes, scrapes Haruka off his thigh as if she's a piece of sh*t, and sells the comeuppance of a bully. His face at the finish is priceless; when the time limit expires, and he's unable to throw the woefully outmatched opponent out of the ring, he looks despondent.
The existence of Scary Movie does not make Hereditary any less terrifying. Only in pro wrestling are brains so broken by carnies that this take still somehow prevails.
