10 Most Over-HATED Wrestlers In The World Right Now

4. Kenny Omega

An unfortunate victim of a certain Kentuckian cult and routinely paraded as everything that is wrong with modern wrestling, that Kenny Omega has become such a lightning rod is sad.

Not only because the frothing rage this man inspires in those who unironically compare him to Adolf Hitler suggests problems far deeper than wrestling a blowup doll in Japan, but because the target comes off as such a kind, thoughtful man. One of the most interesting interviews in all of wrestling, Omega loves what he does and puts immense care and effort into his craft, making immense physical and mental sacrifices for his audience's entertainment. Moreover, he is typically gracious enough to ignore the absurd criticisms thrown his way, choosing to let them fly over his head rather than give them oxygen.

Still, we are told Omega is "killing the business." He throws a lot of high-impact moves and once wrestled a nine-year-old, which, his critics will argue, is driving the artform into the dirt.

"It's unrealistic!", they cry. Meanwhile, Irish whips exist.

The "killing the business" argument becomes even more untenable the deeper you dive into Omega's drawing record, too. A proven needle-mover with a great record in Japan and the United States, having main-evented AEW's most successful pay-per-view ever, his numbers speak for themselves.
