During the latest edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, Jim Ross noted that he thinks Randy Orton is the best pro wrestler in the world right now. Many other fans think Kenny Omega takes the top spot, while some have even been bringing up Roman Reigns’ name. AEW Superstar Matt Hardy took to Twitter, making a case for Kenny Omega. He said,
“Those who can’t see or understand how special of a performer @KennyOmegamanX is are out of touch. Kenny brings a fresh & unique approach as an @AEW champion, along with dazzling athleticism & incredible matches. I stand with Omega. Feel free to not like or enjoy Kenny’s style or character, you’re entitled to your opinion. BUT…If you claim to understand this industry & don’t see & acknowledge how much he’s shaping, building & contributing to modern day pro wrestling, you’re out of touch. […] As people & performers, I like Kenny, Randy & Roman. They’re all very different, but awesome at what they do. Kenny catches flak cuz of his past & over the topness, but there’s no denying he’s currently killing it, esp considering the AEW style. He’s special.”

Solid & fair take. As people & performers, I like Kenny, Randy & Roman. They’re all very different, but awesome at what they do.
