During a recent Twitch livestream, former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega expressed his frustration with the 5-star match rating getting thrown around too much as of late.
You can check out some highlights from the livestream below:
On things that bother him about a match that might get rated five stars: “One of the things that irks me is when you see guys that are throwing fluff in between going from point A to point B.”
Kenny Omega on the five-star rating getting thrown around too much this year: “For any of those [fluff-filled] types of matches in 2024 to receive five stars, saying, ‘Hey, this is culturally significant to professional wrestling, this made a movement, started a movement, continued a movement …’ get out of here, go fly a kite, suck on a lemon, there’s no way, and there’s too many of these that have been handed out.”
Omega is currently out of action while dealing with diverticulitis, and is expected to undergo surgery soon.
