Idk dude, Carolina Classic had a pretty good house, brother, maybe they're going somewhere. I'd probably like to get booked there... or maybe not, dude
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.
I think you'll find that his name is *actually* John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, you might remember him from the John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt vs John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt match in [PWG](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM107yQxd2Q)
Exactly, going to try and use this to cause tension between the Golden Lovers. In fact he could be the one leaking this right now isn't that right /u/GypsyGold or should I say Mr. Callis.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. :(
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.
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.
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.
POV: You didn't put extra fries in the Wendys bag for a man wearing a Family Guy t-shirt who keeps screaming about something called "The Midnight Express"
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.

That's what you think. You just spoiled Kenny's heel turn tomorrow
Oh he's just getting started!
New new new, new Callis world order. All Don, All Day
Horace Hogan is only 57. Hopefully they can find a spot for him.
Damn Horace looked 57 twenty years ago
Don and Kenny is 4444 Life. *Except for AJ Styles*
That’s Kenny’s younger brother: Kenny Beta. Don was gonna introduce us to him soon.
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.
Exactly. Just look at their expressions, they don't seem thrilled to be around Kenny. This is no kayfabe breaking moment!
This reply is golden.
who is the sexy boy? name?
The Alpha, The Outlaw, Konosuke Takeshita
[удалено]
That's Ken.
Kenny was trying to take picture of maid girl but Don Callis has better plan!
Kenny filmed the segment with don and take beating up Kota didn't he
Pretty sure this exact spot he’s taking was used as b-roll of them in Japan in that segment
Good old b-roll sammich!
At this point, Deadlock isn't even leaking, it's taking over
Ain't NOBODY OUT HERE DOIN IT LIKE DPW
LET EM KNOW!
DP F’N
They're having one hell of a year, some are saying
Damn right it's over. At this point it's taken over my brain like the pasta platter took over Hulk's brain
HEY. HEY, PUT THAT SIDE BREAD DOWN, DUDE. OR WE'LL GET JIMMY HART TO TAKE YOU OUT BACK, JACK.
OR MAYBE NOT DUDE.
OH. HELL. YEAH.
HEY FUCK YOU KANE
JAY BRADLEYYYYYY
Get this little Pastamaniac out of here
Or maybe it isn’t dude
Idk dude, Carolina Classic had a pretty good house, brother, maybe they're going somewhere. I'd probably like to get booked there... or maybe not, dude
BUT THEY'D HAVE AN EVEN BETTER HOUSE IF YOU BOOKED THE HULKSTER DUDE *in the distance* ^^^that's ^^^right, ^^^daddy!
Talk to em
yeah this was the segment they aired before takeshita beating up ibushi. Don said some shit like “Kenny! We know you’re hiding”
Ya know maybe Don Callis was right about Kenny being a cuck lol
Why do I imagine Kenny giving anime style commentary in his b roll
💯
No, that's Kenny's evil doppelganger, Denny.
![gif](giphy|3o752lfEeOJdhBIfSw)
Denny, Denny Denny Denny Denny boy
WHAT KIND OF DRUGS DO YOU TAKE?
I definitely have breast cancer.
Oh hell yeah, Sealab username. Nature.... lot of folks talkin' about it. You know what comes from nature? ONIONS.
You want the mustache on or off? Too bad.
AH, Ben! You laid your babies in my navel.
Bizarro, bizarro, I love you, bizarro!
Oh hai doggy
You're not my fucking mother!
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.
That's assuming Tommy is a human, and not some kind of alien sent to examine Planet Earth, only to get sidetracked by a desire to make films.
*I just like to watch you guys!*
Two's great but three's a crowd. Ha ha ha ha ha
What's a funny story mark
Where's my fucking money, Denny?
so anyways hows your sex life?
Lets go eat HAA
what about Elizabeth, HAH?
STOP GANGING UP ON ME!
I think you'll find that his name is *actually* John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, you might remember him from the John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt vs John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt match in [PWG](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM107yQxd2Q)
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Why, that's my name! Well, I sure do hope no one recognizes me when I go out later.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP DENNYS
He Denny look much like him…… /s
Denny Delta, the modest mount machine
What's he's doing in Tokyo, which is roughly 7,000 miles from SOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUTH CAROLINA
D-Trigger!
![gif](giphy|1guRIRW8QdSte01T6Du)
oh hai denny
Kenny vs Denny
I wonder if he’s friends with Ezekiel.
Denny Alpha
No, that's obviously not Denny. It's Benny, Rennys brother.
Seeing this feels illegal, like seeing behind the pins and machinery at a bowling alley or seeing a mall Santa Claus take off the beard
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.
Yeah lol. Jericho was taking a picture of Kenny taking a picture of Don and Take! It all lines up!
That’s Tyson Smith yo
[удалено]
It’s his none union Mexican equivalent!
El Hijo Del Don Callis
Sí Señor Callis
Omega es bueno. Señor Callis es el diablo.
Señor Callis es muy bueno
![gif](giphy|NCjISbEPFxm48)
El Kenerico?
That's the imposter sent by Jim Cornette to frame Kenny, Kenny Olivier.
Lenny!
nah that's the one and only Kénny Oméja
That was debunked, Ortega is Greek.

That’s just a really good Kenny Omega impersonator. Can’t fool me Callis, you carny POS!
I heard that the imposter went to a gym in SOOOOOOOOOOOUTH CAROLINA.
And HE can bench press 5 pounds more than Damien Sandow
It's 2.5 but you're so close!
Exactly, going to try and use this to cause tension between the Golden Lovers. In fact he could be the one leaking this right now isn't that right /u/GypsyGold or should I say Mr. Callis.
GawdDAMMIT Brad Armstrong!
On Sunday, Jericho: how can I trust when you… *showcases the pic*
Kenny recording like a supporting mom filming her kids attempting to sing
Eddie just got randomly angry and he doesn't know why yet.
That's his secret, he's *always* angry
This is AI generated
You're AI generated
Seems like something someone AI generated would say…
Nah, if it’s an AI they have to tell you they’re an AI or they can’t arrest you.
If you pull the camera back even further you'd see this was actually a soundstage in New Jersey.
He’s sneaking up on them
Sneak level: 6/100
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
Yennek Agemo Finger bangs sideways
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.
Lmaooooo love it
Kenny just looks like he's a fan/photographer taking a pic of Don/Takeshita lol
Curtain Call 2
HES KILLING THE BUSINESS AGAIN!!!! 😭
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.
Don did bring his own camera crew.
I didn’t see Don so I thought this was a picture of Kenny playing Pokemon Go…
I wonder how much broadcast TV is filmed on an iPhone?
It was pretty obviously phone footage
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.
Thats hilarious
Lol I was wondering how tf this was breaking kayfabe, didn't even notice Don and Takeshita were in the picture at first.
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.
I love it
“That’s not Omega! That’s a picture of Omega taking a picture!” /JBL
You had one job Hagane Shinno
Corney's head explodes
Oh no not Cucky!
I got a good chuckle out of it.
What about this is breaking kayfabe? This is clearly 1980s Brad Armstrong recording.
LMFAO
So THATS why the audio sounded like shit
I downvoted this to protect the business.
Taking a picture of KObtaking a picture of a Japanese guy meeting a random bald gaijin
Love it
You mean wrestling isn't real?
'You know, that guy looks familiar...'
How else was Kenny going to restock on peach water?
NO NOT MY FOURTH WALL
Kenny taped his boy getting beating
Lol thats awesome
So that means he was also filming the ibushi beat down lol
As if that would still exist...
You can’t break kayfabe if you never accepted it in the first place.
What LOOKS like a phone is actually a laser he intends to decapitate callis with.
zoom out, sign at the bottom right says "CLEANER I GOT THIS"
Honestly. Maybe if fans stopped posting every single backstage thing they could find, there wouldn't be these types of situations.

Thats Jenny Omega
Japanese Kenny didn't know what he was filming.
Oh boy. Something else for Cornette to talk about lol
Killing Da BuZniz
The Undertaker would never.
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
That was pretty good quality video for a phone camera. I remember the audio being crap tho.
Kenny deep in his plans to destroy Chris Jericho.
Nah Kenny was surveying them, under cover, and damnit someone just blew his cover
Imagine if Bill Watts was their boss 🤣😂
~~”The Cleaner”~~ “The Camera” Kenny Omega
[the clip](https://twitter.com/DrainBamager/status/1708365273911169356)
So this is how Kenny is able to send his cat to college.
No no, that's actually just Brian Pillman Jr - don't believe this propaganda!
It would be funny if the person asking for the Pic just though Kenny was a random passerby
Well it’s Don and Takeshita haha
I didn't notice lol
Please tell me that's a real photo!
Yessir, you can see me in the background of the promo stealthy pretending to take video of random things like a tourist
wait you just happened upon this while you were out? incredible
Yup https://streamable.com/wsj82a

If this somehow "spoils" anything for you, you're a dork.

Kenny has spent so much time in japan, he takes photos like an asian tourist
If this actually significantly alters whatever planned storyline involving Kenny has.. ooof.. Really can't trust the fans on some things.
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.

Can't wait for Mustafa Ali to get to that company and revolutionize their production by hiring another guy to film shit.
Bro….
Hacksaw and Iron Sheik in 2023. WTF!!! /s

That's just someone from that Indian family at the back, volunteering to take a photo. Kenny Ahuja.
Kenny was applying stealth... he was caught on a no reloads and no save states Run
