As noted, Kenny Omega recently appeared as a guest on Wrestling Observer Radio for an in-depth interview with Dave Meltzer covering all things pro wrestling.
In addition to the highlights we previously published from the interview here on the website, "The Cleaner" also spoke about the future of pro wrestling being hard to predict.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On the future of pro wrestling being hard to predict: “No one knows, you’ll have to have some level of clairvoyance to be able to predict where things are headed, and I think that’s why people are more so tentative to commit full-fledged into this, that, or the other. Because we don’t know, we, you know, as just a human race, as people, we sort of take everything for granted. You know, things are going to be this way for quite some time and it is what it is. Being considered some form of sport, whether it’s a performance show or not, professional wrestling is in sort of a lucky spot where we can sort of fall in the bracket of other live sports, where we can be a featured attraction that people will tune in live for, to watch."
On the reason it is hard to predict the future being due to the constantly changing factors as anything could impact the planned direction of a given promotion “How do you supplement big, all these big deals that, you know, both sides are doing? Both us, AEW on this side of things and WWE on that side of things, what is it, our big moves?” Omega asked. “And how do we sort of safeguard those, and stay afloat, and maintain sort of a position of prominence? A lot of times you just sort of go pin the tail on the donkey. You, like, close your eyes and make an educated guess as to what’s best. But we could wake up tomorrow and someone puts a ban on all of television.”
