Tyson Smith[1][2][3] (born 1983) is a Canadian professional wrestler, best known by his ring name Kenny Omega.[3] He primarily wrestles for several American independent promotions, including Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, where he is a former World Champion, Ring of Honor and Premier Championship Wrestling and in Japan for Dramatic Dream Team and New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he is currently one half of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions with partner Kota Ibushi. He was signed to a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment in November 2005 and assigned to Deep South Wrestling, but later asked for and was granted his release in September 2006.

Professional wrestling career

Early career

Smith became involved in professional wrestling after he met promoter Bobby Jay while working at a local IGA store.[3] After training with Jay for a year, the 16-year-old Smith began working for Bobby Jay's Top Rope Championship Wrestling in Winnipeg, where over the next two years he eventually developed the character of "Kenny Omega", a Hawaiian surfer.[3][4] The surfer aspect was later dropped and replaced with a gamer / otaku character, which included Smith using the Hadouken from Street Fighter.[3]

Premier Championship Wrestling (2001–2005)

In December 2001, Smith joined another local Winnipeg-based promotion, Premier Championship Wrestling.[1] Appearing on the promotion's official launch event, headlined by Eddie Guerrero and attended by 1700 fans, he made an impressive debut against his former trainer Mentallo on March 3, 2002.[1] The match was later named PCW's Match of the Year.[1] Afterwards he went on to form a short lived tag team with Mentallo.[1] By this time, he quickly became a rising star in PCW and the Canadian independent circuit. He was featured in director Guy Maddin's short film Sissy Boy Slap Party, a teaser for 2003 film The Saddest Music in the World.

The following year, Omega defeated Adam Knight for the PCW Heavyweight Championship on September 18, 2003.[1] Although successfully defending the title against Chi Chi Cruz, he lost the title to Rawskillz on November 26.[1] While in the Canadian Wrestling Federation later that year, he also won the vacant CWF Heavyweight Championship defeating TJ Bratt in a tournament final on December 29, 2003 before losing the title to Zack Mercury a month later.[5] He also regained the PCW Heavyweight Title from Rwskillz less than two months later, however he was forced to vacate the title on March 18, 2004 after suffering an injury.[1]

Later that year, he teamed with his former rival Rawskillz to defeat Shawn Houston and Chris Raine for the PCW Tag Team Championship on August 19.[6] Their reign was brief, however, as they lost the title back to Houston and Raine the following month.[6] On October 17, 2004, Omega appeared at the National Wrestling Alliance's 56th Anniversary Show, where he unsuccessfully challenged Petey Williams for the TNA X Division Championship. In March 2005, he lost to Tommy Knoxville at Millennium Wrestling Federation's ULTRA card.[7]

Omega won an 8-man tournament, defeating the likes of Nate Hardy, Chris Sabin and Amazing Red to win the first Premier Cup and the NWA Canadian X Division Title on June 2, 2005.[1] On July 30, he made a one-time appearance for TCW Professional Wrestling when he teamed with The Scorpion to face The Axe and Bobby Jay at the Grand Beach Entertainment Center in Grand Beach, Manitoba.[8]

In August 2005, Omega attacked Christopher Daniels and challenged him to a match, seemingly turning heel as a result. Daniels declined the match, however. After losing the NWA Canadian X Division title to Rawskillz on September 15, Omega attended the Pro Wrestling Noah Camp in Harley Race's World League Wrestling in Missouri. He later lost to Keith Walker at a WLW show in Eldon, Missouri, which was later aired on Japanese television.[9]

After facing Johnny Devine at an Action Wrestling Entertainment event on November 26, Omega made his final PCW appearance after announcing his developmental deal with World Wrestling Entertainment and made a farewell speech to the crowd on December 1, 2005.[1]

World Wrestling Entertainment (2006)

Deep South Wrestling

In October 2005, Smith was sent to Deep South Wrestling, a developmental territory for World Wrestling Entertainment, to be evaluated by Bill DeMott and other talent scouts. As a result of his performance, which included try-out matches observed by Johnny Ace[4] and Kenta Kobashi,[10] he was offered a WWE developmental contract and assigned to Deep South Wrestling on a full time basis.[4] He made his debut on October 27, 2005, losing to Mac Daddy Johnson.[11]

On May 4, 2006, Omega teamed with Heath Miller in a losing effort against Team Elite (Mike Knox and Derrick Neikirk).[12] After losing to Matt Striker, Eric Pérez and Sonny Siaki during the next few weeks, he scored his first victory after defeating Oleg Prudius by countout in a dark match on June 1.[13] Although he and Antonio Mestre lost to Urban Assault (Eric Perez and Sonny Siaki) in a dark match on June 15, he defeated Heath Miller in another dark match several days later.[13]

Omega then briefly formed a tag team with Tommy Suede, which included a loss against Urban Assault on August 3.[13] However, they defeated Matt Striker and Cru Jones one week later.[13] On August 17, Omega lost to Oleg Prudius and, after defeating Cru Jones several days later, he requested his immediate release from his contract to return to Premier Championship Wrestling.[13]

In March 2007, Smith stated in an interview with Gerweck.net that his time spent with DSW was poor and was particularly critical of promoters Bill DeMott and Jody Hamilton.[10]

Return to PCW (2006–present)

On September 14, 2006, Omega made his return to PCW, defeating Rawskillz to earn a match with A.J. Styles, whom he also defeated in the main event the following week.[1] He defeated Mike Angels and Rawskillz among others during the next several weeks before losing to A.J. Sanchez on February 15, 2007.[1] Losing to Ozz on March 1, he and Nate Hardy lost to Team Impact (Robby Royce and Ozz) later that week.[1] During the next few weeks, Omega won victories over Kraven and Nate Hardy before entering the third annual PCW Premier Cup tournament.[1] Omega defeated Nate Hardy, AJ Sanchez and Petey Williams to win the tournament for a second time.[1]

Fighting to a no-contest with Mike Angels on June 30, he defeated AJ Sanchez on July 19 and defeated Mike Angels, AJ Sanchez and Adam Knight in a four-way match on August 23 for a match against Samoa Joe on September 27.[1] Omega lost his match to Samoa Joe in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[1] In October, Omega appeared in Starting Point, the first pay-per-view for Wrestling Fan Xperience, wrestling Último Dragón in a match lasting 25 minutes.[14] On January 31 Omega defeated Mike Angels to win the PCW Heavyweight Championship for the third time.[15] On March 6 Angels regained his title in a three-way match, which also included Jon Cutler.[15] However, just two weeks later Omega defeated Angels to win the Heavyweight Title for the fourth time.[15]

Jersey All Pro Wrestling (2007–2009, 2010)

Omega as the JAPW Heavyweight Champion in November 2008.

Omega made his debut for Jersey All Pro Wrestling on September 8, 2007, in a match, where he was defeated by Danny Demanto.[1] After losing to "The Black Machismo" Jay Lethal in a singles match and to Teddy Hart in a three-way match with Xavier, Omega scored his first JAPW victory on March 8, 2008, upsetting Low Ki and winning the JAPW Heavyweight Championship in Jersey City, New Jersey in only his fourth match with the promotion.[1] That same day, he was one of several wrestlers in attendance at WSU's first anniversary show in Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey. Others at the event included Steve Mack, Danny Demanto, Ian Rotten, Kevin Matthews, Vicious Vinny, Inferno, Don Johnson.[16][17]

On March 22, Omega was one of 12 independent wrestlers selected to compete at the first "Majestic Twelve Tournament" hosted by Pro Wrestling Syndicate at the supercard Majestic Mayhem in Yonkers, New York.[18] At the event, Omega teamed with Jerry Lynn to face Kevin Matthews and Tommy Suede. After defeating Jerry Lynn in the semi-finals, Omega fought to a no-contest with Devon Moore when they forced Jack Evans to submit at the same time.[19][20] On May 17, Omega lost a 3-way match with PWS Heavyweight Champion Devon Moore and Danny Demanto at the Holy Cross High School in Queens, New York.

Omega's first JAPW Heavyweight title defense was on April 19, 2009, at Spring Massacre, where he retained his title against Frankie Kazarian in a Champions Challenge.[19][21] He defended his title against Danny Demanto and Grim Reefer during the next few weeks.[19] During his match with the Grim Reefer, Omega's opponent was injured at the start of the match was nearly stopped by the referee twice when Reefer had difficulty breathing.[22] After the match former two-time JAPW Heavyweight Champion Dan Maff returned to the promotion and aligned himself with Omega.[23]

On July 7, it was announced by Jersey All Pro Wrestling that Omega and several other wrestlers would take part in a fundraising event for the Beachwood Pine Beach Little League. Among those scheduled to appear were Rhino, The Latin American Xchange, Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal, Dan Maff, The Heavy Hitters (Monsta Mack and Havok) and the JAPW New Jersey State Champion Grim Reefer. The event was held at the Toms River Intermediate South Middle School in Beachwood, New Jersey on September 19, 2008.[24] On July 10, Omega successfully defended his title against Jon Cutler in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Cutler had previously won a tournament defeating "Outlaw" Adam Knight, Antonio Scorpio, Jr. and Mike Angels to win a title shot against Omega.[25]

After a disqualification loss to Rhino and a match that went to no contest with B-Boy, Omega was scheduled to defend his title on December 13, 2008, in a rematch against Low Ki at JAPW's 11th Anniversary Show.[1] Initially, Low Ki won the match, but the decision was reversed and Omega retained his title via disqualification due to Ki accidentally knocking down the referee prior to the finish.[1] On February 28, 2009, at Jersey City Rumble Omega lost the Heavyweight Title to Jay Lethal, after his associate Dan Maff turned on him, ending his reign at 357 days.[26] Omega's next JAPW appearance took place on December 10, 2010, when he competed in a six–way elimination match for the JAPW Light Heavyweight Championship. Omega was eliminated from the match by the eventual winner, Jushin Liger.[27][28] At the following day's show Omega defeated former rival Jay Lethal in a singles match.[27]

Ring of Honor and Japan (2008–present)

On July 25, 2008, Omega made his Ring of Honor debut, losing to Delirious in Toronto, Ontario.[29] The following night, Omega made his Detroit debut at ROH New Horizons, losing to Silas Young.[30] After a losing streak, Omega gained his first victories in December and during his first year in ROH, scored two pinfall victories over the ROH World Champion Austin Aries.[31][32] On November 14, 2009, Omega received a shot at Aries' World Championship, but was unable to beat him for the title.[33]

In early-August 2008, Omega began touring Japan with Dramatic Dream Team,[34] where he would go on to win the KO-D Tag Team Championship with Kota Ibushi as the Golden Lovers. On January 31, 2010, Omega made his debut for New Japan Pro Wrestling in a tag team match, where he and Ibushi defeated Gedo and Jado via disqualification. During the match Jado suffered a legitimate neck injury from a suicide dive from Omega.[35] On June 1, 2010, Omega entered New Japan's two week long Best of the Super Juniors tournament, where he would finish fourth in his block with four victories out of seven matches, thus failing to advance to the semifinals of the tournament.[36][37] After defeating Ryusuke Taguchi at a DDT show on August 29, 2010, Omega was granted a shot at his tag team partner Prince Devitt's IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.[38] On September 3 Omega made his return to New Japan, but was defeated by Devitt.[39] On October 11 Omega and Kota Ibushi defeated Prince Devitt and Ryusuke Taguchi to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.[40] On November 14 the Golden Lovers made their first successful title defense, defeating Devitt and Taguchi at a DDT show to set up a grudge match for the title with the 2010 Super J Tag League winners, Gedo and Jado.[41]

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (2008–present)

On November 1, 2008, Omega made his Pro Wrestling Guerrilla debut as a villain at the 2008 Battle of Los Angeles, but ended up being eliminated from the tournament in the first round by local talent Brandon Bonham.[42] The next night, Omega was involved in a nine-man three-way tag team match consisting of wrestlers who had lost in the first round. In a memorable moment, during the match he was Irish whipped into the ropes by Davey Richards only for the force to snap the middle and bottom ropes, throwing Omega out of the ring.[43]

Three months later, Omega returned to the company at Express Written Consent, where he was defeated by El Generico,[44] after senior referee Rick Knox grew tired of Omega abusing him and hit him with a leaping clothesline.[45] On April 11, 2009 at Ninety-Nine, Omega picked up his first victory in PWG by defeating Davey Richards after a Croyt's Wrath.[46] The following day at PWG's hundredth show, Omega was defeated by Bryan Danielson.[47] At the event, Omega debuted his new tag team partner Chuck Taylor in a backstage segment, where they warned Generico to stay out of Reseda, before he was rescued by Colt Cabana. On May 22, 2009 at the Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament, PWG's annual tag team title tournament, Omega and Taylor, known collectively as The Men of Low Moral Fiber, defeated the re-united Dark & Lovely (Human Tornado and Scorpio Sky) in the first round before being eliminated by the reigning World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in the semifinals of the tournament.[48] On June 28 at The Secret of Guerrilla Island, Omega wrestled Roderick Strong first to a double pin finish and then a time limit draw, before refusing to continue the match and walking out.[49] While Omega was touring outside the United States, Taylor defeated El Generico in a street fight on August 28 at Speed of Sound to earn the Men of Low Moral Fiber their second shot at the Bucks and the World Tag Team Title.[50] The title match took place on October 2 in the main event of Against the Grain, where the Bucks once again came out on top.[51]

Omega after winning the 2009 Battle of Los Angeles to become the new PWG World Champion.

On November 20, 2009, one year after making his debut for the company, Omega entered his second Battle of Los Angeles, which would this time be contested for the vacant World Championship. In the first round of the tournament, Omega defeated Kevin Steen, who was making his return to the company after a 15 month absence.[52] The following day, he defeated Dynasty members Scott Lost and Joey Ryan in the quarter and semifinal rounds, respectively, to make his way to the finals, where he defeated Roderick Strong to win both the 2009 Battle of Los Angeles and the vacant World Championship.[53] Following his title victory, Omega was attacked by Brian Kendrick and The Young Bucks, who became villains in the process while also turning Omega into a fan favorite, before being saved by his old foes El Generico, Colt Cabana and Rick Knox. Omega and his former rivals decided to put their past differences aside as they now shared a common enemy.[54] On February 27, 2010, at As the Worm Turns Omega lost the World Title to Davey Richards in his first defense.[55]
