Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi are great friends and form the Golden Lovers team. Together they have succeeded in NJPW or AEW. Their solo careers have not allowed them to develop their history in wrestling, as well as the health problems that both have had problems in recent years, but their friendship remains as strong as ever.
► Kenny Omega Y Ibushi City
And now let's know how he was born through the recent Omega statements in Wrestling Observer Radio.
“It was supposed to be only once (When they had their first fight at DDT Kota Ibushi Production Beer Garden Pro Wrestling). It was something like: 'Hey, we have heard of this type, we have seen it in the independent circuit'. At that time it was with Jersey All Pro Wrestling. 'Apparently he is a fan of what we do. Ibushi is a young promise with great potential. Perhaps they can give a great fight together, and it would be a good opportunity for Ibushi to consolidate against the people of DDT as someone we can trust, someone capable of bringing the company to the next level '. The fight came better than we expected, ended up winning the fight for the fight of the year at Samurai TV, and that allowed me to come back.”
From then on, They started a great relationship outside the ring and proposed the idea of joining forces.
“Although DDT's directive was not excited about the idea, Ibushi opted for what would later be Golden Lovers. He told me: 'I also believe in this.' But we did the Golden Lovers, and it worked.”
“People always have an expectation … we continued using that word: expectation. We ask ourselves: 'Is it an expectation that fans have, or is it the expectation that we are imposing ourselves of how we should be?' I think that when we changed that perspective and we think about what we could offer the world of wrestling, something slightly different but just as exciting for everyone, we discover that we have other skills.”
