Chris Jericho Takes Shots at Kenny Omega and NJPW, Omega Responds

Chris Jericho went on Twitter to take shots at Kenny Omega, calling him “overrated” and saying that he doesn’t “care what #indiefans think” because he “only works in the big leagues.”

It seems like it’s likely a work, though, since Jericho is acting like an over the top heel and he will be working with Ring of Honor on his cruise next year, which will feature an ROH tournament. Jericho has also previously praised Kenny Omega.

Just watched #OmegavsOkada3 on @AXSTV & it was incredible! Forget @iamjericho, @KennyOmegamanX is NOW the #BestInTheWorld by far! @njpw1972

I love you, Jericho. You're an incredible wrestler and person. However, you'll always be only the second greatest wrestler from Winnipeg.

Omega responded:

Well jeez, what can I say? Never meet your heroes, folks, lest they be a corporate stooge. https://t.co/oGU6R9uCfZ

And here we thought you were one of the few not in "The Bubble." We reside beyond your walls. Ya know, the ones you used to "break down?"
