• Kenny Omega Reveals Why He Left WWE
During a recent appearance on The Warmup, former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega talked about why he left WWE’s Deep South Wrestling developmental territory back in 2006.
Below is what Omega said:
“I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought that I would. I really appreciated the opportunity and learned a lot. I felt going into the system as being a nobody, without them knowing my limitations, without them knowing my potential, especially, I really wanted to prove to them that I could be more to them and to the business than what they thought of me originally, so I decided to leave WWE.
Luckily, when I decided to leave WWE I was still young and foolish, and money didn’t mean anything to me. Part two to that was I had parents who were very supportive of my career and I was still able to live at home, free, you know, room and board.
I wasn’t forced to make any rash decisions and I could focus on fulfilling my dreams. Up until now, nobody really understands there are other options, there is more to wrestling than just WWE. You can make a living and make a difference, being regarded as the best on the planet in professional wrestling without ever stepping foot in WWE.”
