10 More Wrestling Matches Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth
1. Kenny Omega Helps Deliver A Classic With Battered Shoulders - Full Gear, 2021
Back to Full Gear we go, and this year's iteration of the AEW staple once again possessed a main event made a little bit more impressive once you discover the real truth behind the contest.
With much of the story heading into this long awaited showdown between The Cleaner and The Hangman centring around whether Adam Page would finally be able to win the big one, a lot of the attention wasn't actually on The Best Bout Machine for a change.
But even though Hangman's feat of lifting the AEW World Championship once and for all is certainly the headline story of the match and night, it's worth taking a moment to salute the fact that Kenny Omega was working with a rather broken body in said epic.
Accumulating significant damage to his shoulders over the years, Omega is said to not be able to lift any heavy weights due to their overall weakness. But the AEW top guy has revealed to Dave Meltzer that this, along with serious vertigo on occasion (resulting in the ring spinning!), doesn't get in the way of his working of top class matches.
In case you needed a reminder, Kenny Omega is no mortal man, folks.
