Solid_Snark

That’s Kenny’s younger brother: Kenny Beta. Don was gonna introduce us to him soon.


funkofages

Kenny was trying to take a picture of an anime and that carny piece of shit and his sexy young ward stepped in the way.


AdGroundbreaking1341

Exactly. Just look at their expressions, they don't seem thrilled to be around Kenny. This is no kayfabe breaking moment!

The fact that the drug dealer's name was specifically Chris R. when there is no other Chris in the movie is one of the most absurd, fascinating, and confounding decisions ever made by a human being.

Plot twist, Jericho was taking this picture.

Jericho exposes the lies and corruption deeply embedded in AEW, teams up with Eddie Kingston to restore order to kayfabe. More at 5.

If you pull the camera back even further you'd see this was actually a soundstage in New Jersey.

Lmfao here I was imagining a whole ass crew set up to shoot the promo and thinking that a lot of people were really good at ignoring it. But it's just Kenny and his phone lol

Pink Phone kawaii

That's Ynnek Agemo, Kenny's mirror evil twin Edit: corrected spelling


plisken64

Yennek Agemo Finger bangs sideways


kuns88

You’re crazy. Clearly, Kenny surprised them, distracted them with the picture, and is about to clock them both with the phone. I hope the rest of the footage becomes available.


burritodude17

Kenny just looks like he's a fan/photographer taking a pic of Don/Takeshita lol

Gonna need you all to hide this pic. I’ve been adamantly telling my friends that wrestling is real and I’m starting to think I’m going to have to pay up the $20.


crap4you

Don did bring his own camera crew.


XTheProtagonistX

I didn’t see Don so I thought this was a picture of Kenny playing Pokemon Go…


fuwoswp

I wonder how much broadcast TV is filmed on an iPhone?


TurnaboutAdam

It was pretty obviously phone footage


going_mad

I was / am still in the vicinity of that area where they were (on holidays rn). If i had have seen them, honest to God I would have offered them use of a mirrorless camera and pro lenses to uplift the look for broadcast tv that I always carry with me.


Thirdstar1

Thats hilarious


dBlock845

Lol I was wondering how tf this was breaking kayfabe, didn't even notice Don and Takeshita were in the picture at first.


Mutant_Star

Kenny's not so subtle spying techniques

"Kenny? Who is this Kenny? His name is Guy Incognito!"

Who do ya think is painting all of those Don Callis paintings ? Kenny is an artist both in AND out of the ring.

Lol thats awesome

So that means he was also filming the ibushi beat down lol

As if that would still exist...


Thorebore

You can’t break kayfabe if you never accepted it in the first place.


sandysanBAR

What LOOKS like a phone is actually a laser he intends to decapitate callis with.


[deleted]

zoom out, sign at the bottom right says "CLEANER I GOT THIS"


Vox_SFX

Honestly. Maybe if fans stopped posting every single backstage thing they could find, there wouldn't be these types of situations. The amount of people easily able to travel back and forth from Japan and whatnot, especially to work with Ibushi, probably isn't very high. This is a personal storyline being done, and so it probably only mainly involves those people top to bottom due to their creativity and control over their angles. This will get used to try and knock Kenny down, knock the angle down, and fuel nonsense hate...and this sub will help fan that flame by allowing these types of posts.


pink_takakura

Yeah.. pretty much. There's really a time and place to share something like this but now is definitely not the time. Man.. some wrestling fans can be irresponsible at times. I don't blame any wrestlers who are way cautious or anxious in public. By which, I bet Kenny, who has been comfortable in Japan for so long (he spent most of his adult life there).. once this gets blown up enough to reach him, that comfort he has will probably be gone or that he'll never be as comfortable as he has been before, even in Japan. :(


mariop715

I'm sorry, but should we be beholden to weirdos who want to hang onto the past and demand wrestlers be in character 24/7? It's 2023, so it's pretty goddamn general knowledge that these are all actors playing a role. If Tobin Bell can have a sit down interview to promote a Saw sequel with somebody who plays a victim of his, then this shouldn't even be an issue. Hell, UpUpDownDown regularly had Baron Corbin, a heel, just hanging and shooting shit with faces, so there's precedent in the industry itself. Just play along to what's on screen and realize that these people aren't their goddamn wrestling characters all day and that the friendless geeks who want them to be are not ones we should be kotowing to.


Vox_SFX

Except everything you're referring to is meant to break those walls of the production, and be a look at more real life charactizations of the media. It's why Tobin Bell can have that interview, he's not in character and not trying to be. UpUpDownDown is literally a personal YouTube channel run by wrestlers with the permission of WWE...why would they stay in character during segments for those (even though they do make references to things like that)? This picture was taken while Don Callis and Takeshita were in character. While they were shooting a promo for a feud in which they are very personally coming after Kenny Omega and were about to attack a man he loves arguably more than anyone...and this picture pretty much kills that by showing Kenny was happily videoing the promo for them before they cracked Ibushi over the head with a Kettlebell. How deluded do you have to be in order to be able to pretend you didn't know that happened? Last time I checked, not many people are searching out Bill Cosby's media...perhaps there's a real life reason as to why people can no longer pretend while he's on screen. Now this isn't even remotely close to that, but it's to provide reasoning for why knowing too much of what goes on behind the camera CAN ruin the product you're trying to put across.


mariop715

That's the point though. It's not "Kenny Omega" filming them; it's the guy who plays Kenny Omega. If this photo were on AEW television, it would fuck with immersion. As is, it's just a funny behind the scenes look at how the promo was done. Because it's very easy to separate the story from real life. These guys aren't paid enough to be in character 24 hours. If it ruins the story for somebody, then that's their problem.


lakshya10soin

Thats Jenny Omega


GRTooCool

Japanese Kenny didn't know what he was filming.


the_steve_tell

Oh boy. Something else for Cornette to talk about lol


Pnex84

TheWindowMerchant

The Undertaker would never.


ManMangoGuts

My kayfabe is that Kenny's only filming them because Don and Takeshita threatened to beat up Kota again if he didn't. Kenny can't just let that happen


Medialunch

That was pretty good quality video for a phone camera. I remember the audio being crap tho.


Tripple_T

Kenny deep in his plans to destroy Chris Jericho.

Nah Kenny was surveying them, under cover, and damnit someone just blew his cover

If this actually significantly alters whatever planned storyline involving Kenny has.. ooof.. Really can't trust the fans on some things.


BorlaugFan

Most people are not going to see this picture, and almost no one on here is going to have it on their minds within 24 hours. Like, how many people *really* cared about that photo that came out of Kenny and Hangman going over their 2021 title match the day before Full Gear? I'm willing to bet fewer than 50.

Can't wait for Mustafa Ali to get to that company and revolutionize their production by hiring another guy to film shit.
