In an interview with Eric Bischoff for the latest “Bischoff on Wrestling”, Jim Ross spoke about how popular Kenny Omega is right now and how if he were still in charge of talent relations he’d sign him to WWE. Here are highlights:

On Kenny Omega’s future: “He’s 33 years old. Whatever decision he makes he doesn’t need to burn any daylight. I had him on my podcast since winning at Wrestle Kingdom 11 and I’ve communicated with him as well. I think he’s staying. At least for another year. I think WWE would be remiss by not making inroads to see if he wants to come on board.”

On his match with Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11: “I can tell you that I agree that his match with Okada in the main event at Wrestle Kingdom was a ball buster. It was amazing. Was it the best match I ever saw? I can tell you this. That match was good enough that it will belong in the conversation of any short list I would have.”

On signing Omega to WWE: “He’s hot right now. Knowing Eric Bischoff like I do. Knowing myself as I do… you want to hire the guy right now. He’s the hottest you can get him. You didn’t bring in Kevin Nash and Scott Hall two years after they left WWE. They were all still on WWE’s mind. They hadn’t been forgotten. They were still fresh.”
