Ive noticed that Kenny whenever he does interviews and talk shows he just zones out and has no eye contact almost looks like hes not paying attention but then BOOM hes right on top of the question lmaoo love this man
BEST POD BOUT MACHINE, when Kenny said, "Oh, go make this killer match with Swerve"....YES! GO MAKE THAT ON DYNAMITE! What a great convo with Kenny and understanding a really inventive Wrestling mind. Wrestling CAN change one has to try and change it
Man this was WELL worth the wait. Great watch/listen even if you're not even a wrestling fan. Thanks for this one, Kenny Omega is the best of this generation for sure.
Honestly the thing that I would look forward to is hopefully it trilogy of matches between Omega and swerve that would be amazing to have like a trilogy of matches on like big pay-per-views or big TV shows they could do so much together that would be amazing like maybe a feud over the US IWGP title
This Swerve podcast with Kenny was Superb! Its a must watch. This is why I love Kenny Omega! His passion for all styles of wrestling and how they put together AEW. I just sit back, grab a beer, have a watch and listen. This is Gold! 🍺 👍
Loved listening to the whole thing. He was really comfortable, loved the topics of the talks, both wrestling and culture. Just fun stuff all around. ✌🏻
I had no Idea that there is a podcast with swerve, but I'm glad I found it. You guys create a wonderful atmosphere and damn Kenny fits perfect into it. :) Kenny is so right about everything he told about Riho or the whole Joshi performers, it's always a blast to see them working their asses off. Greetings from tokyo
I have been waiting for THIS for a WHILE. Shout out to my good friend Rich Latta as well. He kept this from me knowing I'm a huge fan of Kenny lol what a cast.
Loved all of this! I loved hearing the talk on storytelling philosophies in wrestling and in general, I love hearing stuff like that. Also I love Swerve talking about the Concrete Crypt match that's like my favorite dumb giant vehicle match ever lol
Kenny and the Elite in NJPW/ROH are the reason I fell back in love with wrestling! And Lucha Underground too (killshot vs AR Fox is one of the best matches I’ve ever seen) Great episode guys and thanks for the fun conversation!
Heartbreaking to hear how the Joshi are treated by internet trolls. Overall an awesome ep and very engaging listen. An eventual Omega vs. Swerve feud is gonna be lit
Love this! It was SO cool to see two, theoretically different guys, Swerve and Kenny, have a deep common thread of creatively and wanting more for/from wrestling. I hope the future comes from minds like these👍
New sub! Get it bruv. True facts.and you present it well. Interesting dichotimy between you and Ty. He's an introvert. You did a great job being the MC
First off. I love the disclaimer before you post. Who else would love to see Swerve join the Elite to form a new version of the coolest heel faction in wrestling? Swerve and Omega as a tandem would be out of this world. The innovation and sheer work ethic would be unmatched. So glad Swerve got away from the "machine" and joined the AEW family. He fits. Omega is my favorite. Swerve has managed to climb into my top five for sure. Cant wait for the AEW video game!
1) Love your camaraderie with the Elite. I can tell... just from watching Kenny and the Bucks wrestle... that they LOVE the Lucha Brothers... they love Hangman... they enjoy wrestling with SCU and New Japan... You all love wrestling, period! 2) Most of us were 100% in on the Joshi being a permanent part of AEW. You have no idea how happy some of us get when we see Emi Sakura even on the Dark shows with her entrourage. And you probably noticed that us grown adults squeal whenever Mei Suruga or Maki Itoh show up. The Joshi were the original Forbidden Door entrants and I am glad they are a permanent part of AEW. 3) I love Swerve's new clique. It's a definite huge upgrade for Parker, lemme tell you. And I look forward to so many matches with everyone! YOU barely scratched the surface. I know one day you and Kenny... will go at it... you and Jericho... You and Hangman... You and Moxley... the line is endless!!! Long may you reign.
Damn I Love your quote! I agree with you 100% on the Lucha Brothers Fenix and Penta and the Joshis. I grew up with EMLL Lucha Libre in Mexico before I ever saw US wrestling in the old territory days. AEW introduced me to the Joshi scene in Japan. Love it all!
I'd love to see Kenny play a video game villain and adopt his maniacal style persona. They could even make the character look like him too cos he has a great look for that kinda thing. Similar to his sit-down NJPW promo pre Wrestle Kingdom. The one he cut mainly in Japanese.
This was so awesome! Kenny and I share a lot of the same interests when it comes to wrestling, video games, and other aspects of media so I really enjoyed this! Great job guys!
Love seeing all the positive feedback in the comment section!! This is how the wrestling community should react together. These men sacrifice their bodies & long term health for our entertainment. I wish fans could actually respect all styled of wrestling. As someone who grew up loving WCW Cruiserweight division, I love the fast paced style of the Elite, Swerve, Lucha Bros etc. But I also enjoy FTRs old school style. But imagine being someone who thinks there's no place for lucha style and only old school style (referring to the Cucknettes & Buck haters) I read the other day someone saying there's no place for flips in wrestling. 😂 imagine believing every match should have the same boring style lol these are the same people who degrade luchadors for doing Gymnastics, not wrestling. As if they could last 10sec on the Still Rings🙄 Gymnastics are one of the toughest sports in the world. LOL literally yesterday, i had a dude try telling me Ospreay v Omega @ Wrestlekingdom17 WASNT PHYSICAL LOL & they're just glorified gymnasts. & that pro wrestling isnt supposed to be ballet. It's supposed to be physical combat. These people should just go watch MMA, but the truth is they know nothing about actually fighting. Imagine believing Ospreay v Omega wasn't physical 😂 These people are guided by their Savior Jim Cornette. They blame others for killing the business but these "fans" & Jim have hurt the industry in more ways the the Elite ever could. Let's just ignore the fact Jim booked HIMSELF TO WRESTLE A ninja turtle. Booked Candido to leg drop a cat from the top rope & Jim Neidhart as a KKKLANSMAN. The Hypocrisy 😂
Bro monteasy I remember when aeropastale was popping in high school lol we would go to the Manhattan mall in nyc to find different gear to wear in the Bronx
Swerve and Omega in a podcast?! We are here! Man, am I glad you are in AEW together. Hey... I am a patient man, but I know... you two... will wrestle one day. I am a patient man... Make it goooood!
I don't know if I like Kenny as a heel or Babyface better. He's just amazing in every way. Look at what he's accomplished in AEW. All of those belts he's won while being AEW World Champion. Kenny still to this day has the longest reign as AEW World Champion. I would love to see him go for it again against MJF. That would be pretty cool.
How am I just finding out about this channel/podcast? Not only am I a fan of Swerve’s work, but now I’m a fan of his wrestling mind. I have a feeling I’m going to be a big, big fan of this content.
This was excellent and made me feel the spirit of early AEW. These are two guys that can carry the flag. I love talking about the variety and the alternatives and the art and the comedy and romance. The format has become so repetitive and predictable. It feels like they are chasing the critics rather than carving a path. This was refreshing in knowing that these guys are back there fighting the good fight. TK needs to chill out and let the magic happen again.
Swerve my g, loved the podcast. In my opinion Kenny Omega is the greatest in ring performer of all time, so this got me gassed. I'd love to see a feud between Heel Swerve and Face Kenny. Could get brutal and nasty and perfect
Kenny hit the nail right on the head..Fans want STORIES in wrestling. That's why the Bloodline storyline has been so engaging. DO YOU HEAR THAT TK? FANS WANT STORIES....AEW had great stories the 1st 18-24 months, now it's sorely lacking....
Amazing pod, one of the goat wrestlers and the banter was excellent swerve. Swerve maybe a tv show pod would be nice, I was IN on the Last of Us convo.
25:10 I just noticed Swerve is wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers hat. I didn’t know he liked the Peppers. Hell yeah, Swerve. If Swerve could hmu with the link for the hat, that’d be dope ASF
This was a great episode. For me it flew by. Swerve one question. What did you think of the Snydercut of Justice League? Personally, I'm a big fan. I agree I wanted Black Adam vs Superman too
Kenny Omega is a class act, also the goat imo him and Ibushi are gonna make a glorious return. This was my favorite episode of the podcast.
Ive noticed that Kenny whenever he does interviews and talk shows he just zones out and has no eye contact almost looks like hes not paying attention but then BOOM hes right on top of the question lmaoo love this man
Yeah, it's the most precious thing
Kenny actually seems like the kinda dude anyone would love being around
that's cuz he is
Except for Jim Cornette
Except Punk.
He definitely is. I'm pretty sure most people love him. He seems like such a fun-loving and laid back dude
I'm sure he is an amazing person
was incredible to do. hope everyone loved it.
Was captivated the whole way through. Killer stuff, thank you
@@mattroberts85 thank you for listening
Hell yeah
Great questions
I watch/listen most times Kenny's on a podcast. This has been the best interview in my opinion
BEST POD BOUT MACHINE, when Kenny said, "Oh, go make this killer match with Swerve"....YES! GO MAKE THAT ON DYNAMITE! What a great convo with Kenny and understanding a really inventive Wrestling mind. Wrestling CAN change one has to try and change it
Definitely gotta bring Kenny back for another convo. Had me engaged all 2 hours.
Kenny and Swerve need to interact more on AEW tv. Also, I could listen to Kenny talk all day.
Ikr. and same, his voice is soothing and he's so well spoken
Man this was WELL worth the wait. Great watch/listen even if you're not even a wrestling fan. Thanks for this one, Kenny Omega is the best of this generation for sure.
Swerve v Omega needs to happen dear god
Maybe there could be a trios feud down the line, but a 1 on 1 match would be great too.
Honestly the thing that I would look forward to is hopefully it trilogy of matches between Omega and swerve that would be amazing to have like a trilogy of matches on like big pay-per-views or big TV shows they could do so much together that would be amazing like maybe a feud over the US IWGP title
Swerve/Omega tag team. Just saying.
Seem better as a team.
Kenny, punk, and aj are my favorite of all time
I love when you can break away from wrestling with Kenny and he goes into his interests, you can just hear the excitement in his voice!
ikr, so precious
This Swerve podcast with Kenny was Superb! Its a must watch. This is why I love Kenny Omega! His passion for all styles of wrestling and how they put together AEW. I just sit back, grab a beer, have a watch and listen. This is Gold! 🍺 👍
Tyson is such a down to earth and kind-hearted person! Thank you for sharing with us!
YOU CAN DO THE VERSE!!
Swerve - great podcast! Thank you!
I love that my boy Rich Latta got to do this. So happy for him
Man, this is how interviews should be. Great shit.
This was a great episode. Kenny’s the man. This is a great podcast. Swerve and the guys killed it. Really great episode
Kenny’s multitasking with watching that TV LOL! YES Swerve! Romance, I love a good story!
Loved listening to the whole thing. He was really comfortable, loved the topics of the talks, both wrestling and culture. Just fun stuff all around. ✌🏻
Kenny’s face during the soul food reference is hilarious!!! He was so lost lol
Moxley on a future episode would be amazing.
Mox is kind of awkward in interviews though. It's kind of hard to get answers out of him.
I had no Idea that there is a podcast with swerve, but I'm glad I found it. You guys create a wonderful atmosphere and damn Kenny fits perfect into it. :) Kenny is so right about everything he told about Riho or the whole Joshi performers, it's always a blast to see them working their asses off. Greetings from tokyo
Finallyyy, I’ve been waiting for this podcast. I’m so ready to listen.
I have been waiting for THIS for a WHILE. Shout out to my good friend Rich Latta as well. He kept this from me knowing I'm a huge fan of Kenny lol what a cast.
Loved all of this! I loved hearing the talk on storytelling philosophies in wrestling and in general, I love hearing stuff like that. Also I love Swerve talking about the Concrete Crypt match that's like my favorite dumb giant vehicle match ever lol

That was fun and interesting. Thanks for taking the time to make this happen :)
Riho is an absolute treasure and it feels so good that Kenny stills stand behind her and other joshi for the unfair shit that's been thrown at them.
I'm super happy for Rich. If you have followed him for a while then you know how big of an Omega fan he is.
Always rooting for you, Swerve! You're the man.
Heartbreaking to hear how the Joshi are treated by internet trolls. Overall an awesome ep and very engaging listen. An eventual Omega vs. Swerve feud is gonna be lit
yeah, cornette is to blame for a lot of that
Love this! It was SO cool to see two, theoretically different guys, Swerve and Kenny, have a deep common thread of creatively and wanting more for/from wrestling. I hope the future comes from minds like these👍
Ahhhh I’ve been waiting for this since it was initially announced. So so so good. Loved it!!
Can’t tell you how pumped I am for this podcast.
Kenny Omega, the best wrestler in the world.
New sub! Get it bruv. True facts.and you present it well. Interesting dichotimy between you and Ty. He's an introvert. You did a great job being the MC
Swerve wants romance in AEW and Kota is right there.. Golden Lovers !!
Yeeeeeessss!!! 👍 that would be awesome
My thoughts exactly!
Great interview. Shout-out to Rich getting in there and asking great questions.
First off. I love the disclaimer before you post. Who else would love to see Swerve join the Elite to form a new version of the coolest heel faction in wrestling?

Bro I loved Cima, T-Hawk and El Lindaman in early AEW. Bring em back Kenny BY GOD Omega
Early AEW was the best because we always got so many different flavors of wrestling in one show
@alc6269
What? It's still like that now. Lol. That's why AEW is fun, has a little bit everything.
@Al C Now its so much like WWE, they are betraying their values
Yo, they were always so fun to watch! Their wrestling theme always got me PUMPED!
1) Love your camaraderie with the Elite. I can tell... just from watching Kenny and the Bucks wrestle... that they LOVE the Lucha Brothers... they love Hangman... they enjoy wrestling with SCU and New Japan... You all love wrestling, period!
2) Most of us were 100% in on the Joshi being a permanent part of AEW.
You have no idea how happy some of us get when we see Emi Sakura even on the Dark shows with her entrourage. And you probably noticed that us grown adults squeal whenever Mei Suruga or Maki Itoh show up.
The Joshi were the original Forbidden Door entrants and I am glad they are a permanent part of AEW.
3) I love Swerve's new clique. It's a definite huge upgrade for Parker, lemme tell you. And I look forward to so many matches with everyone! YOU barely scratched the surface. I know one day you and Kenny... will go at it... you and Jericho... You and Hangman... You and Moxley... the line is endless!!! Long may you reign.
Damn I Love your quote! I agree with you 100% on the Lucha Brothers Fenix and Penta and the Joshis. I grew up with EMLL Lucha Libre in Mexico before I ever saw US wrestling in the old territory days. AEW introduced me to the Joshi scene in Japan. Love it all!
I'd love to see Maki Itoh be a permanent feature on AEW and the Emi match against Hayter was top notch.
Once Kenny started telling the story about how aew came about ...... Legendary .
Love love love love loveee this episode! Love hearing Kenny talk. What a smart dude. Thank you to the team for having him on :) we really needed this.
All I know Kenny is from AEW and I can say this interview made me respect him even more. 💪🏾
I'd love to see Kenny play a video game villain and adopt his maniacal style persona. They could even make the character look like him too cos he has a great look for that kinda thing. Similar to his sit-down NJPW promo pre Wrestle Kingdom. The one he cut mainly in Japanese.
I totally agree
Mega-sode! Great listen and watch !
Great insight from two of the best wrestlers In the world!
That colossus T is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
With the Jim Lee art!
Great Episode here 🔥🔥🔥 “Realest” Kenny interview or pod I’ve seen. Great questions and conversation here 💯🤝🏾
Having the knowledge of pro wrestling back in the 70s onward is a HUGE plus
This was so awesome! Kenny and I share a lot of the same interests when it comes to wrestling, video games, and other aspects of media so I really enjoyed this! Great job guys!
Love how Swerve is a huge fan of Tony Hawk’s Underground. All timer.
best kenny interview
Such ana awesome interview. Kenny is the best ever and seeing him against Swerve one day would be one the greatest moments ever 💙
This is a great episode. Some really great perspectives shared here.
Funny how Kenny always plays these eccentric characters in kayfabe but he seems very shy IRL lol
Swerve with the Lupe shoutout. I knew he has good taste.
Great ep love listening to guys around the same age as the things they reference are nostalgia hits 💯👊🏾
Love seeing all the positive feedback in the comment section!! This is how the wrestling community should react together. These men sacrifice their bodies & long term health for our entertainment.

The Hypocrisy 😂
I know Rich was happy! Pumped that he got to this! Now we NEED that Kenny vs. Swerve match!
My favorite Kenny Omega interview ever. Kenny is THE GOAT!
Bro monteasy I remember when aeropastale was popping in high school lol we would go to the Manhattan mall in nyc to find different gear to wear in the Bronx
Swerve and Omega in a podcast?! We are here! Man, am I glad you are in AEW together. Hey... I am a patient man, but I know... you two... will wrestle one day. I am a patient man... Make it goooood!
The MK talk makes me happy haha

Kenny still to this day has the longest reign as AEW World Champion. I would love to see him go for it again against MJF. That would be pretty cool.
Now they need to team up against the heel EVP's
💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
How am I just finding out about this channel/podcast? Not only am I a fan of Swerve’s work, but now I’m a fan of his wrestling mind. I have a feeling I’m going to be a big, big fan of this content.
So refreshing to see these two different groups of people sit down and talk and not once bring up skin color or race ❤
This was excellent and made me feel the spirit of early AEW. These are two guys that can carry the flag. I love talking about the variety and the alternatives and the art and the comedy and romance. The format has become so repetitive and predictable. It feels like they are chasing the critics rather than carving a path. This was refreshing in knowing that these guys are back there fighting the good fight. TK needs to chill out and let the magic happen again.
where did kenny get that shirt?
Swerve my g, loved the podcast. In my opinion Kenny Omega is the greatest in ring performer of all time, so this got me gassed. I'd love to see a feud between Heel Swerve and Face Kenny. Could get brutal and nasty and perfect
Cannot wait to listen to this one 🤩
Finally this uploaded the GOAT, the GOD of Pro Wrestling, the Winnipegian Wizard, the Golden Pipe, Kenny BAH GAWD Omega
Kenny is a vibe
I really wish AEW would’ve taken a note from Lucha Underground and go with the “cinematic” backstage stuff
Well they pulled off a bromance with MJF and Cole at All In and I would say they excelled with the romance idea lol
This was a great listen
Great conversation guys.
Been waiting for this one for months
Kenny hit the nail right on the head..Fans want STORIES in wrestling. That's why the Bloodline storyline has been so engaging. DO YOU HEAR THAT TK? FANS WANT STORIES....AEW had great stories the 1st 18-24 months, now it's sorely lacking....
Loved the episode! Was there a reason Kenny wasn’t making much eye contact with the guy on his left?
Two of my all time favorite wrestlers
Never thought I’d see Killshot and Omega doing a pod together and I love it.
Swerve checks all of the boxes. Carries himself like a champion.
Kenny Omega is the GOAT right now. #beltway95sports
The Cleaner, the Best Bout Machine! Best and perhaps most impactful professional wrestler of the modern era.
the man the myth the legend The Best Bout Machine Kenny Omega 😎👉💥
Amazing pod, one of the goat wrestlers and the banter was excellent swerve.
Swerve maybe a tv show pod would be nice, I was IN on the Last of Us convo.
What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.
Not even 2 minutes in and taking a shot at the New Day 😅 oh Kenny, never change.
Yay! Finally 🖤
now I really want to a fued/match/storyline between the cleaner and the mogul
Wow! Just discovered that Swerve got a pod. Great 1st watch.
The Cleaner 😎
Swerve is goated.
Great podcast Swerve !
THIS INTERVIEW WAS SO SO SO GOOD
25:10 I just noticed Swerve is wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers hat. I didn’t know he liked the Peppers. Hell yeah, Swerve. If Swerve could hmu with the link for the hat, that’d be dope ASF
I agree about storylines don't spoil it on the web after a show, let us wait for the next week or even month in some cases to see how it plays out.
This was a great episode. For me it flew by. Swerve one question. What did you think of the Snydercut of Justice League? Personally, I'm a big fan. I agree I wanted Black Adam vs Superman too
