Kenny Omega Calls Out ‘Ignorant’ Fans Who Criticize Miyu Yamashita

In a post on Twitter, Kenny Omega defended Miyu Yamashita from people online who had been criticizing AEW for putting her in a women’s title match.

He wrote: “Even with the few visits she’s had overseas she’s already been introduced to how ignorant and pathetic the know-it-all “fans” on social media can be. Ignore them and show everyone just how obvious the difference in skill is. The true supporters are also watching and support you.”

He later said that the issue was that he didn’t like how some toxic people reacted to women wrestlers online.

He noted: “I don’t take kindly for the mistreatment of the women that dedicate their lives to this. My apologies if having the balls to say something classifies as bitching to you.”

Please don’t be my fan anymore if you’re so quick to make that comparison without knowing what the international talents deal with.

You can have a major don’t meet your heroes moment too if you like.

I’m willing to lose every fan if it’s because I stuck up for what’s right.
