Can someone give me some context on why I’m supposed to be emotional over Big Kenny’s hug?
from /r
When Omega first went to Japan, his first opponent (and then tag team partner) was Ibushi. They became the Golden Lovers (and certainly
played up to the name) and were a very popular indy tag team in Japan. They had a great run as a tag team in DDT and even beat Balor and Taguchi for the IWGP junior tag titles.
Eventually they broke up around the time Omega was leaving for New Japan full time, and they had an amazing match at DDT's biggest show to date, drawing their biggest attendance which I think was 10k people which is huge for a very small company like DDT.
Since then they have had very little contact, aside from when Omega reluctantly distracted Ibushi during his title match with AJ, helping AJ retain the title. Bullet Club celebrated but Omega looked very sad at what he had to do to his old friend prove his BC loyalty.
After that Omega has had this meteoric rise from Junior to now being the head of the BC and one of the hottest wrestling commodities in the world while Ibushi is coming off a stretch in the CWC and NXT, returning to New Japan to finally reach the level he was always destined to, with his old friend standing in his way.
Thats kind of a brief summary but that is the general gist of the story.
umtil WK recently and then last night. or something.
