10 Things You Need To Know About Kenny Omega

2. He Has Wrestled A Blowup Doll And A Child

DDT is a crazy promotion, and some of its more infamous matches have involved a number of performers who aren't quite pro wrestlers. Omega has taken part in two such matches that have found grand success on the internet, going up against the blowup doll Yoshihiko and a little girl.

The match with the girl came about when she was passed up by a Joshi promotion, and Omega was drafted in to give her something to do. Kenny had a reputation for being safe, so was the obvious choice to work with the youngster

The match could have been career suicide, but it turned out to be something different. The two put a hell of a match together, a bout that ended in a time-limit draw that helped put Omega's name out there even more.

Yoshihiko the blowup doll is something of a DDT legend, and both Ibushi and Omega have had legendary matches with the inanimate objects. Yoshihiko didn't really have competitive matches, but Omega and Ibushi are on such a level that they were able to get a meaningful match out of blowup doll. If you haven't seen it, do so now.
