One of the topics discussed included Danielson providing an update on the status of his health following his 60 Minute Iron Man Match for the AEW World Championship at AEW’s Revolution 2023 event earlier this month.

“Legitimately, I’m in a ton of pain. I just wrestled for over 65 minutes. I’ve got a black eye. I can’t lift my left arm past here [partially raises arm]. I have shooting pain going down my leg. There’s this big gaping wound on my stomach. Those kind of things, it’s like, ‘Oh, sorry, daddy is in a lot of pain.’ They understand that, but as they get older, they’re going to understand that some of this is not physical.”

Kenny Omega Comments on Future of His Wrestling Career

A recent episode of CBC’s Front Burner podcast featured Kenny Omega as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Omega’s thoughts on his interest in working for WWE in the future.

Kenny Omega – “I think at this point anything new appeals to me and challenges also always, always appeal to me. At one point it was one of those, ‘if you say I can’t do it, I really want to do it’. Now it’s not that, I wouldn’t say I’m older and wiser it’s more like, I’m older and I care less about that it’s more about what kinds of people can I reach. What kind of positive thing can I contribute? And, what do I even feel best suited for?”

Host Jayme Poisson – “So maybe, I guess is the answer?”

Omega – “Right. I mean, again it’s all place and time like we haven’t even reached that time yet.”

Omega also gave his thoughts about the future of his wrestling career.

“I always kind of try to find my own way or at least try to lean in the direction of where my heart is pulling me, and right now, I’m taking one step at a time, and with this Winnipeg show it feels like ‘yeah this feels right’ and what’s next? I don’t know because nothing has spoken to me, nothing has told me this is what you need to do. The spidey sense hasn’t been triggered yet.”
