Incredibly upsetting. I know we are not in the same faction but I have nothing but the utmost respect for @KennyOmegamanX for continuously vgoin above & beyond the line of duty.

You’ve completely changed the game and not enough thanks can be said.

Thank you Kenny https://t.co/EGl1aKtJL9

Thank you for my 1st match in Japan.
Thank you for the motivation.
Thank you for carrying the junior division so long.
But most of all thank you for so many learning experiences.

Feel like a huge part of my life has gone but I’m very happy for you.
Congratulations @KUSHIDA_0904 pic.twitter.com/REYjeEhDpu

This is when opportunity can present itself.
New Japan will need Junior Heavyweights.

I could name 5 lads in the UK alone that would be a great addition.

Time to step up lads https://t.co/d3iumwRBVt
