I think it’s the idiosyncrasy of Omega’s opinion of himself that really irks me. He’ll often say that other people DON’T have stories, or they AREN’T breathing those details into things. If he wants to be deluded and think his stuff is high art, that would be one thing — I’d disagree with it, but it’s one thing. It’s how he suggests that his stuff is so damn different to everyone else.
He championed the Omega/Page story. I’ve seen people try and do the same thing. It was a 3 year arc, whatever. If you enjoy it, then fine. But this story was so horrible that #1-aew-apologist started clapping at me because I dared to think they were going down that route. Of course, I was right, and people were seeing it from a mile away, but they had to get him off TV and bring him back for a random Ladder Match to get the title shot. That’s it. That’s the story.
Former tag champs. They split up. One guy wins the World Title. The other guy does comedy until he wins a Ladder Match and suddenly becomes champ. If you’re super into it, that’s cool. But don’t tell me that’s fucking Shakespeare.
You could pull the same bullshit with Brock and Roman. This goes back to 2015 when Roman won the Rumble and got booed, it got in his head, and then Heyman got in his corner and now Brock’s the one that’s mad, grrr. You could argue it goes back to Heyman managing the Samoan Swat Team right through to Brock beating Rock at SummerSlam. It’s a 7, 20, 30 year old story or whatever.
Why is his special or different? Even if you liked it. A lot of people saw it for exactly what it was, but even if you liked it, and you can link these things like Adam Page’s abject failure for months with growth or whatever — what makes those sorts of mental gymnastics unique? Because he seems to think that stories like Page winning the World Title are what’s missing.
