******1/4 almost became 50/50, not that his signing with WWE was a realistic proposition. Omega always harboured dreams of conquering Japan, and NXT in 2012 wasn’t too dissimilar to Ye Olde Developmental, in which Omega toiled as part of the Deep South Wrestling roster. Bill Demott didn’t fancy Omega because the Cleaner wasn’t prepared to buddy up to him. Thank Christ WWE bid Bill adieu in 2015.
