In a recent interview with NJPW President Hiroshi Tanahashi NJPW’s New Japan World website, Kenny Omega gave his thoughts about how his match against Gabe Kidd at this past January’s co-promoted NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty event would have been a good match for him to retire from his wrestling career. Omega stated “Honestly, I’ve been thinking about retirement since my illness. Like, how would I want things to end. If my stomach was really bad, I think that Wrestle Dynasty Gabe Kidd match honestly would have been a good end. But I won, and I was happy with the performance. It would have been a good last match, but I felt I could still go, so it’ll be a little while yet (before I retire).” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
