What's up, you guys? Sean Ross app. Welcome to Fightful here with a name you know. How could you not know him? You look champion. Fightful select, there you go. I do. I do love having you on Fightful. Come on. It's always good seeing you. We got Gabe Kidd ahead of what is likely to be one of the biggest matches. He's had in his career. Would you say this is the biggest match of your career against Kenny Omega? Wrestle Dynasty this weekend? It's another match to me, Sean. It's not, I don't, everyone keeps coming up to me. Oh, you've got this coming up. You got, yeah, I had Tagli coming up and I fucking battered everyone in that too. So it's nothing. It's another match to me against a guy who's been off for a year. So no, I am not worried. No, it is not the biggest match of my career. It's going to be another day of work. I'm going to go and batter another. I'm going to injure another AEW wrestler, get paid handsomely for it and keep talking my shit. So no, I'm not, it's not a big, the biggest match of my career. So you're not on the Wrestle Kingdom card. You are on the Wrestle Dynasty show. Do you feel any particular sort of way about that? I mean, it's a big weekend, obviously. Of course I do. This is another thing about New Japan. They just don't, they don't want to see me shine, man. These guys don't want to see me shine. Of course they got all their little, their little boys on there. They got show tour of both of shows. They got Suji on both shows. They don't understand what they got with me, but they're going to understand after this weekend where I pin what many consider to be one of the greatest wrestlers to ever do it. You are considered just another bum. That's when they're going to do it. And I've seen that you was reporting some stuff to all Gabriel Kid's contract is coming up that fight for last year. I don't know what rat was talking to you and told you that, but they're going to. I did. I did try to ask you. You wouldn't tell me. Of course I didn't. I didn't talk to you guys. You remember what I tweeted, man. Come on, man. Dude. I don't care about that shit, but they're going to pay me very handsomely after I beat this top star in professional wrestling. I knew that. That is always a little awkward when I do ask the person directly, even though I know the answer to it, but I always, I got to try it. It's common knowledge, New Japan, you're wasting your time, bro. Just put the, you know, I'm not allowed to assume you put it out anyway. So it is what it is. I'm not allowed to assume in my line of work, though. Well, what little rat was telling you about my contract then, that's what I want to know. Anywho, I can't tell you my sources. All right. Well, fuck whoever it was. Well, how about, how about this? Sources told me that you celebrated your new year in Japan. You were singing some karaoke. Oh, was it a little rat at the party? Standard. Oh, a rat in the pro wrestling. Were you what a shock? What were you there singing? Were you singing the new AEW theme? I'm so excited. Was that, was that what you were singing? Don't ever do that shit ever again. I think what the, jeez, yo, take yourself. Is that what, is that an AEW continental classic? No, no, it's some shitty indie belt. I won my 10 years. Fuck that shitty indie belt. Fuck. It was fast. It was very fast. It was very fast. Do you want a little fake? Do you want over there? It'd be like, New Japan's so bad. Well, come here and you're going to get battered like New Japan do it. So that's what I'm there to provide. Man, so how are you feeling physically going into this weekend? There's obviously, you know, you got the travel, you got a lot of stuff going on. How are you feeling? Listen, all these people, once again, they've been asking me, well, what's your prep been like? What's your company like for this match? I've been going out. It's been Christmas, baby. I was out on Christmas Eve all day long. I was in the pub at 8 AM until 4 AM. So it was a, it was a 20 hour drinking day for me. That's, I'm not treating this at anything. You think I'm going to hire a coach and track my macros so I can be at my best physical performance. I'm probably going to roll in there hung over, still drunk. I don't care. I feel great. I mean, you were like, you did pause your, your workout to speak with us, which I greatly appreciate. By the way. Well, I was on the way to the gym. I'm still can pre-work out right now. I was about to leave and I get a call saying, oh, seven minutes late for an interview. I was like, this shit done so I can pump some weights. Well, I mean, you are going to be so excited then soon. You could be like Jesse Spano on that episode of Say by the Bell where she was on the caffeine pills. I'm English, bro. I don't know. I don't know about it. Stave by the Bell, some dumb little American show. Oh, I mean, come on. AC Slater, he was a great amateur wrestler. He went to Iowa. I don't have a clue who that is. I don't know any of these people. I treat these TV shows that A.W. wrestlers. I don't know these a lot. Is that basically just a TV show to you, A.W.? I mean, that's exactly what it is. A TV show that don't want to mention my name, too scared to mention my name. Why do you think that is? They've probably got a briefing before they went out and come and treat it. I'll just be sure that you don't mention Gabe Kid's name. You know, you can talk and have the best of ours online. Yes, I have. And I'll say it again, fuck all you love. So it is a show to me. How was your experience there? When you visited and you wrestled for ROH? Come on, man. I came in and beat people up in like five minutes. You did? Easy to me. And then I stole, well, I didn't steal it. I was rightfully entitled to it. I took about five boxes of catering. That's the best thing about A.W., the fucking catering shit. We get fucking Sam and Rice balls over here. I'll take a nice little steak dinner for the next three days. That's good for me, but going there is easy for me. You know, I'm used to doing tours. If I go there, do one show a week, come on, man. These guys, they can't compete. You can't even put us on the same level. Oh, they're a high level of professional wrestling because they're on TV. God, they fuck, New Japan is where the shit is, New Japan is where it's at. We're on the road every single week. G1 finishes the week later. We're on the next tour. We keep moving. You know, these people couldn't keep up this schedule. Kenny cannot keep up this schedule anymore. He is broken. You can't say that this is the biggest match of my life. He hasn't wrestled in a year. It's been my most active year and I've been the standout in New Japan this year. Let's get that straight. You know it. Everyone knows it. I've been the one bringing eyes on this shit. It's not even, you can't compare the two. We are a pro wrestling company. You are a TV show, so shut your mouth and stay in your own lane. So interestingly enough, that was a major talking point with Osprey talking about Kenny Omega and how he couldn't keep up that schedule now. However, I will say this, and I greatly respect Will Osprey in the last year. Since talk Will Osprey, we somehow got packing out a New Japan book and continue your question. Since then, I'll just say this, in 2024 he wrestled 43 matches. You wrestled that we know about 121 matches. Come on man, almost three times the name. You can't tell me, you get to go home for six days of the week, spend time with your family. I saw my family like five weeks out of the year last year, five weeks out of 52 weeks. I saw my family. I saw my, I was comfortable. The rest of it, I was uncomfortable living in Japanese hotel rooms. That's me where I live. I live on the road. I'm a real road warrior. I'm not going to talk ill of the dead, but I'm more of a road warrior than a hawk and animal. Both of them guys, like we're the real road warriors in this, ward dogs, the real road warriors in this. We're on the road every week beating people up, and when we've got time off from Japan, we're going up to indies and slapping man up every day of the week. So yeah, we're about this. We can't even bear it. Not only that, I mean, very early in the year, you all had an hour plus long cage match that I'm sure took a lot physically out of everybody involved in that, and you still wouldn't had 120 some matches last year. Yeah, exactly. I got concussed the shit in that match. I was back on the road two and a half weeks later. I was in the New Japan cut wrestling shingo to Kagi in the main event. It's not even a comparison. So it was a busy year, it was a good year. I made lots of money. I beat a lot of people up, and I fulfilled my new year's resolutions, whatever you want to call it. I did all of that. I did what I set out to do, which is what I do every single time. Nobody, we know, suit in an office can tell me what I'm going to do. I know what I'm going to do in this game. I know what I'm going to do in this job, and I turn up and I do it. There are expectations of me, and I pass them every single time. But let's talk about Kenny. Yeah, I'd like to. Questions about Kenny. This is why this is why we're on this, and I'm going to talk back. He came back to AEW at World's End. He showed up, and I would say, I don't know about confronted or what with Okada. At least, production seemed very heavy-handed for something seven months down the line. As I outlined last year when you faced Eddie Kingston, I was like, "Well, that's awfully ambitious to plan something that far ahead when Gabe Kidd is wrestling him." It's incredibly ambitious to say that he's going to be at Dynamite next week. I told you that because Eddie Kingston was supposed to be in some big pay-per-view match, and what happened then? What happened then? He didn't make it. He still sat on his sofa watching me, seeding, because I took him out, and Kenny's going to be doing the same thing. He's going to be out for another year, maybe two, actually. He was disrespecting me at hell of a lot more than Kingston was, so I might have to take him out for two years. Have you... Listen, I don't know how close the quarters are there in the days leading up to a match. I believe he was supposed to head over there yesterday. Have you happened to have seen him, heard that he's in town, anything like that? I don't give a shit where he's at. Listen, I'm about to turn him to the press conference today, and he's going to be there. So, you know, we'll see what mood I'm in. We'll see how many high balls I've drank up to that point. We'll see what cracks up, but I'm going to see him today. I know that. I don't know your foot when he got in. I got in early. I got here before New Year's, I was well-rested, I'm well-trained, I'm in prime shape right now. Full of high balls every single night, what are you talking about, it's game on...

There's not even a comparison between me and that little nerd, and he's going to learn that he shouldn't be talking shit on me, shouldn't have been disrespecting me. Everyone thinks they know what's going on, they think they know that, oh, Kenny is in this position, Kenny is this, he's got to do this, and Kenny's going to win this, so he can go on and say, "He ain't even going to make it to dynamite, never mind that advertising but pay per views, mumps and events, you just said it, he ain't even going to make it to dynamite this week." So you can all them plans, right now they're trying to, they're like, "Oh, he's back, we've got a game on TV, we've got to show a lot of fans, Kenny, he's not going to be around for much longer, he's not even going to make it back, you're going to see him on that pay per view, whatever the fuck that was with that bitcho and carda, and that's going to be it for another year, so thank you, pay me, you fucking rats." You mentioned okada as well, I mean obviously they've got history and all that, but I mean, does anything go through your mind when you see that, is like part of you like, why do you even care what okada's doing right now, like why aren't you worried about why he's focused? I don't give a fuck what okada's doing right now, he ran away from it because he knew that the new generation were coming up and he can't hang anymore, so he went AW for an easy paycheck, and that's that, he went there to make easy money and he's been joking around the whole time, looking like an absolute clam, it's not even a comparison, great it's tournament wrestler of all time, come on man, come on man, you're walking around slapping people on the head like it's a joke, you ever do that to me, you slap my bald head like that, I'm going to get up and knock you straight out your little prick, cheeky little prick, but I'm not thinking about ukada, I'm a deal with him when the time comes to it, but it's not even going to get to that, they want to keep all their guys away from me, they're going to want to keep all their guys away from me, because they put them in the ring with me and I'm going to keep taking them out, every single time, I'm going to fuck them up and hurt them, that's what I do, I hurt people, I injure people, oh give kids, you know, always going to injure Kenny, yeah I am, that's exactly what I'm trying to do, this guy's coming back from a stomach illness, you think I'm not just going to punch him in the stomach, but I'm going to take time, I'm going to say what I'm going to say at the press conference, you're going to know what's going to, you're going to know my game plan, I'm going to tell him, I'm going to give him a one up, I'm going to give him a head start and advantage on me, I'm going to tell him how I'm going to act when the match starts, and I'm going to out wrestle that motherfucker, I'm going to out wrestle him, I could easy walk up, punching in the stomach, I could finish that match in two minutes, but I want to take my time because all these people think that he's the best, I'm a prove that I am the best, war dogs are the best, new Japan pro wrestling is where it's at, this is the best wrestling in the world, fuck all that talk and I'll out wrestle every single one of their wrestlers. I can tell that the schedule you maintain is something that you take pride in, so when you see Kenny Omega is, I think he had about a year long abs since a couple of years ago to recover from some injuries, he had a year long abs since now, how do you look at those and like, is it a thing where you think his best days are behind him or do you think you might get the best Kenny Omega this weekend? Me, he's 41 years old and he's been out for a year, if you think he's coming anywhere close to me tomorrow, it's not even tomorrow, two days from now, you think he's coming anywhere close, he's not going to touch me in any way, he's not as fat, he's not going to be as fast as he used to be, he's not going to be as strong as he used to be, I don't care if he has this star power that everyone talks about, he cannot compete with me, he has a little bitch who took a time out from a stomach illness and I'm going to make him pay, he wanted to talk shit and he wanted to come back here because he knows this is the best shit, this is the guy that founded that company, one of the co-founders of that company and he realized he fucked up and now he wants to come back like it's all cool, now this is my territory now, you had already left before I even joined the Dojo, you didn't see New Japan during the pandemic, you weren't in Korokun when there were like 400 people there, you didn't, you know, this is the thing, like people don't understand when I say during Covid, I was in the Dojo doing a thousand squats every day on my ones, it was me, the coach, that was it, there were no other lions in the Dojo doing that work, I was doing that shit, so if you think now that the world is back to normal, that I'm just gonna forget about that and let that and furthermore, I lost my mind, people don't understand that, I was in a psychiatric ward, people were drinking their own piss, there were fights every day, I got in a couple scraps, couple scraps with the staff, it was, it's where mentally ill people go and I was in there, so now you give me, you put me in the co-main event of the Tokyo Dome, if you think I'm not taking this shit for myself and for what I believe in, then you're fucked up and Kenny's fucked up, all them A.W. Pussies are fucked up, all of them, they think this is just another wrestling, they think this is a big wrestling match in the Tokyo Dome, now this is me protecting my shit, this is about me, this is, when I think about this match, I think about those times when I was in the Dojo, I wanted to take my own life, real shit, real shit when you can't see an out of something and now it is back and it is being rebuilding and people want to try and piss on us, people want to try and take the piss out of us, fuck that, this is my life, this is more connection and show to can say what you want, so you just copy everyone, he copies everyone, this is real to me, this is real, nothing realer than this, this is, this is about me, this is about making all that shit worth it and when I get paid very handsomely next year, as I had been done this year even more than this year, then the hard work will pay off and I will drink a very expensive bottle of champagne but this isn't, this isn't a business to me, this is my life, this is my mental state, people talk about, let's talk about this, you want to know what I felt like, Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger lost his life because he got lost in his art, he dedicated himself so much to his art and he lost his mind in it, that was me, I couldn't differentiate the guy and the wrestler and I still fucking can't because I had put too much into this, so much into this, nearly lost my life twice, you can't tell me that this is a business, a job, are you mad, this is my life, this is, I've only known pro wrestling since I was 11, all the lessons I learned in my life are through pro wrestling, so this is, and one guy takes a year off and thinks he can come back and disrespect me, fuck you, I don't care what you've done before, I don't give a shit about anything that you've done in the past, it's not about that, we in the now, this is the present, 2025, your time was 10 years ago and now you've finished, you're done, so that's where I'm at, these people want to keep disrespect to me, fuck all you men. So as we wrap up a reminder, wrestle dynasty, this weekend, of course that is my most anticipated match is Gabe Kidd versus Kenny Omega, with the performance that you're saying you're going to put forth and you mentioned New Japan, paying you handsomely, I mean obviously something like that would bring an awful lot of negotiating power for you. Yeah, exactly, people try to talk to me about my contract, I say you talk to me after January 5th when I pin what many of regard is the best wrestler to ever do it, you talk to me then, because first of all I'm going to put this company on the mat when I beat him and second of all I'm going to put myself on the mat, everyone will know my name after this, every single person in the wrestling world, I'm not on TV, I don't have a global reach like that, my global reach is beating people up like this, this is where I shine, I don't get a weekly spot on TBS, I don't get a weekly spot on Netflix, I don't need that shit, I get this shit popping, I turn up, I beat people up in a very fashionable way with slaps, chops, punches, I don't need no fancy moves, I don't need any of that shit, I'm a turn up and I'm a systematically pick that man apart, anything that he's tried to do, you think I ain't studied, I watch 40+ hours of Kenny Omega matches, I know everything that he goes for, after I know what comes after the snap dragon, I know when he's going to go for the one-winged angel, Croids wrath, all of that shit, I know that shit, so you think he's going to beat me, it's done, you can watch all my matches, every single one of my matches are different, you can't study for me, it's a different game plan every day, how I'm feeling on the day I turn up and I decide what I'm going to do, and you cannot prepare for the beating that I'm going to put on this man, this broken fragile little piece of shit, fucking, he's not even Kenny to me, that little Tyson is going to know that I'm going to be fucking his life up, he's going to be thinking about the hospital when he had that little wristband on his wrist and it says Tyson, he's going to be remembering that when I'm beating the shit out of him in the Tokyo dome, he's not going to get a chance to feel that Japanese energy because he's going to get his head caved in by me and I'll happily put him out, I'll happily put anyone out and that's real. Gabe Kidd takes on Kenny Omega this weekend at Wrestle Dynasty, I wish you luck Gabe, I appreciate not just your time to, I appreciate not only your time today but the time ahead of you beating Oiwa in under 15 minutes as well as you speaking to me after you're here scuffle with Kenny. What did I say when we spoke in November? You told me. I don't even fuck about him, like you say on the 15 minutes everyone's saying oh this guy's the next up, fuck anyone who's next up, fuck Kenny Omega, fuck his co-workers, fuck his boss, not even his boss, his co-founder, fuck all of them, fuck the guys, the WWE champion, fuck all of them mad, fuck every single one of them, I'm the one up in it, it's my year this year, everyone likes to say that and then they do shit, they win a little tag title on the indies, this is my year, shut your fucking mouth, this is my year, what? That was a little tag title on the indies back in the day. You're closing the speech man, you pissing me off, I gotta go to the gym. Gabe Kidd, Kenny Omega this weekend, we will have a show on, a post show on Fightful, we greatly appreciate Gabe Kidd's time. I'm fucked Tony Khan as well, little bitch, fuck you, cry more pussy, all of you man, fuck him, I'm out of it, see you in a bit Sean. Until next time we're out.
