10 Other Fighting Games That Should Feature Wrestlers In Their Rosters

Few fighting games feel more like an anime than this gem from Arc System Works. Every character has a remarkable amount of detail and animates fluently with smooth frames performing an elegant dance of destruction in front of immaculately detailed backgrounds all while power-metal blasts through the speakers. It is fast paced, technical, frenetic, and a product of pure passion.

For a game like this Arc System Works cannot just settle for a regular wrestler. They need someone who can skip the feeling-out process and fight every moment like he's in the last minute of an intense main event. They could use someone like Kenny Omega.

Whether decked out in Bullet Club black, his signature green and yellow, or in his Sans costume, Kenny knows no speed but full gear, and no intensity level lower than a hundred percent. Kenny has a hard hitting moveset that'd also fit in with the game, flying across the screen to smash Hazama with a v-trigger, or running Haku-Men into the ground with a bulldog. He could even add to the story, as his old persona of The Cleaner was known talking in the stilted and grandiose tones of everyone's favorite anime villains.

Plus, Kenny himself is an avid gamer and the thought of him playing as himself in a tournament is mind boggling.
