A wrestler as seemingly fearless and insanely innovative as Kenny Omega doesn't strike you as someone who would harbour any fear towards performing or being on the receiving end of any move. Hell, this is the dude who happily takes savage neck bumps like they're going out of fashion.

But as the current AEW World Champion admitted himself a few years ago during an interview with "A Music Blog Yea", there was one bump during a match with old Golden Lovers pal Kota Ibushi back in 2012 which still gives him the shivers today.

With the two main eventing a match in Budokan Arena, The Cleaner felt they had to pull out all the stops to impress those in attendance. This included executing a top rope hurricanrana to the outside which looked and sounded as painful as you'd expect it to.

Describing the sensation he felt in the wake of the move, Omega confessed:

"You feel your insides bounce and hit the top of your rib cage. It was gross and I would never ever do it again, seeing the footage scares me,"

If Kenny Omega thinks it's a bad idea, you better believe it's not worth doing again.
