10 Match Quality Predictions For AEW All Out
2. Kenny Omega Vs. PAC
Kenny Omega Vs. PAC is pro wrestling's preeminent dream match.
Both performers are out of this world; Omega is known as such a spectacular artist that his brutality announces itself by surprise every time. It's no wonder he cultivates that reputation with his talk of being a God; when he drives his knee with such force into the skull of his opponents, the dramatic impact is as powerful as the physical impact. Omega is both artist and killer: pro wrestling's Hannibal Lecter.
PAC is just awesome in the strictest sense of the word. Impossibly ripped and impossibly fast, he is one of pro wrestling's modern athletic superman bursting forth from a 1980s mega body. Both performers are incredibly skilled at fusing classic and modern sensibilities - everything they do looks as cool as it feels dangerous - and so much has converged to make it a genuine event.
PAC's Double or Nothing transgression. His long absence from U.S. soil. The loudest city in wrestling. The determination on Omega's part to make up for the disappointment of his major grudge match with Jon Moxley.
What's key is that both men boast the two most protected finishers in all of wrestling. The teases alone, much less the drama of a near-fall, should elevate this as an epic waged between two of the most well-built and talented wrestlers on the globe.
