In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio on Sirius XM, Cody Rhodes discussed his current rivalry with Kenny Omega that is playing out in both New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring Of Honor Wrestling.

“The whole point is that Kenny Omega is this underground band, and everybody pretends to love his music, but nobody can name any of the songs. Kenny Omega is now entering – Wrestle Kingdom against Chris Jericho, Supercard of Honor against me – he’s entering a different level of competition. It’s a different level. You can’t just be the best wrestler that nobody has ever seen.

This is a different level for me. It has to be better. What’s the point in all of this? I said earlier that we’re very different types of pro wrestlers. Kenny Omega, to some people, is widely considered the best technician, the best wrestler in the world. I say that’s dang easy to do when you barely ever wrestle, when you wrestle once a month. When you don’t have a set of towns, a set of places to make – the band that’s hot is going on tour. We’re a very different type of wrestler in what I bring to the game and what Kenny brings.

There’s a ton of pressure. I feel it right now. I’ve never watched more wrestling in anticipation for a match to see if there’s something I could add into my game, or this could possibly fit.”
