Wrestling Weekly: Omega’s decision, training in OVW vs. NXT, mailbag

On today’s episode of Wrestling Weekly, Les Thatcher and Vic Sosa talk Kenny Omega’s big decision, differences in training in OVW & HWA compared to NXT, and more!

We’ll tackle the biggest news of the day first and take a look at Kenny Omega’s decision to negotiate a new deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling, why it’s a great decision for him, and the tough spot NJPW might be in with Omega seeking only a one-year deal at this point.

Then we’ll take advantage of the considerable experience Les has as a trainer to discuss a question that came up earlier in the week regarding why it seems OVW produced more homegrown talent than NXT is currently producing (15:05).

We’ll wrap with the mailbag (52:48), featuring questions about a couple of guys Les faced frequently during his wrestling career as well as Frankie Cain, and who we would book as the most over face and heel to win the Royal Rumble on Sunday (66:27).

Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!
