WWE is the largest professional wrestling company in the world, but right now the independent wrestling scene is thriving.
Over the weekend All In took place from the Sears Centre, and all of the performers involved with the event showed the world that there are other forms of wrestling outside of WWE that fans can enjoy if they choose to.
Kenny Omega recently spoke to Sports Illustrated about the current landscape of professional wrestling, and he pointed out that some people believe that wrestlers who don’t work for WWE simply aren’t good enough.
“Fans, wrestlers, and even the general public have been conditioned to believe that there’s an enormous skill gap between WWE and everyone else. A major league and a minor league. It’s either you’re there or you’re just not good enough.”
Omega went on to say that there’s no right or wrong when it comes to what fans can and should like when it comes to wrestling, but he and his colleagues are just trying to offer something different.
“While it’s true their collection of talent is undeniable, a small group of us have bet on ourselves and on the unique alternative vision we have for pro wrestling. What they can offer in flash, we can offer in substance. While their writers produce TV for a certain demographic, we’re producing stories for fans that want something a little different.”
