Take care of yourself, kid
Pro-wrestler Kenny Omega has never been shy when it comes to combining his love of his profession with his love of video games. Ever since he blew up in Japan with the popularisation ofStreet Fightermoves such as the Hadoken and the Ultimate Atomic Buster, (as well as some amazing in-ring performances), Omega has squeezed gaming references into his matches whenever possible. And now, as one of AEW’s top stars, he gets to do that on a more mainstream stage.
Last night, AEW ran a Halloween theme for its weekly Dynamite show and Omega, true to form, came out sporting a fantastic cosplay of Sans the Skeleton from Toby Fox’s beloved RPGUndertale. If the 1:1 look wasn’t enough, then Omega even used “Megalovania” from the game’s soundtrack as his entrance theme. The entrance was preluded with a smartUndertale-style intro video, that referenced both Omega’s past with New Japan Pro Wrestling and his DDT “Golden Lovers” partner, Kota Ibushi.
You can check out the full entrance in the video below, from YouTuberMr BN King.
AEW itselfhas been making murmursabout producing its own wrestling video game at some point in the future. Giventhe current state of this year’sWWE 2K20, it seems the market is screaming for some mainstream competition and, given the passion for gaming many members of the AEW roster share, any such project would be worth keeping an eye on.
