Kenny Omega is a Canadian-born wrestler currently competing in NJPW – New Japan Pro Wrestling. For the main event of a huge event in Tokyo, he dressed up as Osiris from Destiny 2.
Fit, Flying Super Nerd
Kenny Omega (34) is known to be somewhat of a fit, flying super nerd. His real name is Tyson Smith and he was born in Winnipeg, Canada. He borrowed the wrestling name Kenny Omega from the “Omega Weapon” in Final Fantasy. As the US site Polygon reports, Kenny Omega learned Japanese specifically to read his favorite manga. He is also into Street Fighter and apparently into Destiny.
Omega is not only an excellent athlete in the ring but also an enthusiastic fan of video games and extravagant appearances. This past weekend, he entered the ring in full cosplay as “Osiris” from the Destiny 2 DLC “Curse of Osiris,” complete with gun and helmet.
Osiris is a mysterious, legendary Warlock in Destiny, fascinated by the robotic Vex and their culture.
Omega faced off against wrestling star Chris Jericho (47), who rose to fame in the North American wrestling league WWE. Jericho is also not exactly the model Japanese figure. The match took place during the large event “Wrestle Kingdom 12” in Tokyo, which attracted more than 30,000 spectators, making it the biggest draw for NJPW in the last 15 years.
Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho had the main event, the main match of the event. Omega was able to prevail after about 30 minutes of fighting.
We have embedded the video of Kenny Omega’s impressive appearance and Chris Jericho’s slightly disgusted reaction here:
Kenny Omega, at about 1.83m and 92 kilograms, is not exactly small and skinny, but he could seem so against the most famous Destiny fan among wrestlers.
