10 Absolutely Epic "I'm Him" Wrestling Moments You Need To See

That man again.

And that event again.

If Orange Cassidy let the world know exactly who he was on the legendary evening that was AEW Revolution 2020, then Kenny Omega gave folks a glimpse at 'The Cleaner' within who was and likely always will be "Him" on his best day.

Revolution 2020 wasn't just his best day either. It was the entire Elite's best day inside of an AEW ring.

But it was Omega's reaction to being Golden Triggered by The Young Bucks that sits as arguably the most shocking and impressive sequence in the Elite’s unquestionable in-ring tag team masterpiece.

With 'The Best Bout Machine' likely registering what was happening to him just as the Elite knees were about to collide with his skull late on, the realisation that he'd just been disrespectfully smashed by his and fellow Golden Lover Kota Ibushi's finisher ignited an insane kick-out at one.

The look on not just Matt & Nick Jackson's faces, but those staggered inside of the Wintrust Arena that night told the story of just how monumental this show of superhuman durability was in the moment.

And while it would still be another few months before Kenny got back to his true singles best in-between the ropes, this brief moment of kick-out brilliance gave folks a taste of the "Him" AEW were just waiting to pull their own golden trigger on at precisely the right moment.
