Kenny Omega recently appeared as a guest on Wrestling Observer Radio at F4WOnline.com for an in-depth interview.
During the discussion, the former AEW World Champion explained when and how he developed issues with vertigo.
Featured below is an excerpt where he touches on this topic at length.
“This will sound silly, but I’m just trying to speak as honestly and as candidly as possible. But when it [vertigo] had happened and I remember when it had happened. I had one of the Block finals against [Kazuchika] Okada in one of the G1s, the one that I ended up going in the finals against [Tetsuya] Naito and I had taken the Okada dropkick and it was just a fluke thing. Okada kind of does like, you know, a nice, high, pretty dropkick as everyone knows and he had landed on the side of my head with his knee off the dropkick. So it’s almost like he did the dropkick and kind of like, sort of moonsault out of it and I bumped, you know, I guess under him and then the knee came down and I kind of knew when that happened, I was like, ‘Woah! I got caught with something.’ I wasn’t sure what and I finished the match and it was totally fine and I loved the match, it was one of my favorite matches.”
