The Young Bucks have enough to worry about rather than standing up for Kenny Omega and Kenny Omega is the best bout machine. I may have a confidant here and there but I will be okay. I don’t really have too many friends in wrestling and if you look Chris Jericho has never been part of a team. Since Kenny Omega is the leader of the infamous Bullet Club faction one has to wonder if Jericho is worried about their interference, them coming to Omega’s aid as they have in the past? I think it is a different match than any on the card and that is the way it should be because the story dictates that,” he said. I am not saying it is going to be a street fight, I am not saying it is going to be a hard-core match but the stipulation lets us do certain things if we want to because it is No DQ. The storyline dictates where you should go. I have been doing this long enough to know, you don’t dictate the match. “We both have one sort of match in mind but when I did the attack and the press conference in Tokyo, it kinda changed the vibe of the match. The change hasn’t affected Jericho’s mind-set going into the match though. The escalation caused NJPW to declare the match a No DQ encounter. Fans have seen the tone of the match itself become more and more spiteful and sadistic with Jericho bloodying Omega in a surprise attack on Japanese soil and then Omega responding with a sneak attack of his own at the official Wrestle Kingdom press conference. To Jericho, the match could have taken place at WrestleMania and been just as good but it wouldn’t have been as special as it is in Japan. The fact that it is in Japan makes it more legendary and mythical,” said Jericho who says the match has that Mayweather and McGregor vibe to it because nobody ever felt that match would happen, which is why the announcement took everyone by surprise.

The match has grown well beyond anyone’s expectations and as it has Jericho’s enthusiasm has intensified as well, especially since the bout will be held in Japan, a place that has hosted so many legendary, fabled matches in pro wrestling history. We Winnipeggers are the mecca of pro wrestling right now!” Jericho unabashedly declared. Basically you have Omega versus Jericho with Don Callis as the commentator. It is what I really love about this match. That Canadian connection is one factor that also raised Jericho’s interest in the match. It has become the most buzz-worthy match in the business today, including anything in the WWE,” said Jericho. It took a while to get the proper deal but once everyone realized how cool it would be, we all wanted to do it. He pushed the idea to me and thought I would laugh it off but I didn’t and suddenly we were off and running. He is a mutual friend of Kenny and I, he is also from Winnipeg. North American fans may remember the New Japan colour commentator and now the co-executive vice president Impact Wrestling as The Jackal in WWE and more prominently as Cyrus in Extreme Championship Wrestling. Jericho’s Wrestle Kingdom match was the brain child of Winnipeg’s own Don Callis, a mutual friend of both Jericho’s and Omega’s. A subscription service offering fans all over the world unparalleled access to New Japan’s content, a highly successfully G1 Special in USA event in the summer and the creation of the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship has elevated the promotion’s status not only in North America but all over the world. With all eyes on New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom on January 4th, the event caps off a year in which New Japan has an unprecedented foothold in North America.
