Omos recently had a brief run in Pro Wrestling NOAH. He was also one-half of the GHC Tag Team Champions.
Recently, while speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight Podcast, Omos shared that he wanted to go to Japan after The Great Muta had mentioned that he would like to see the giant compete in NOAH. The Nigerian Giant then discussed this idea with Road Dogg. A couple of months later he made his Pro Wrestling NOAH debut.
“What happened was I saw Tavion Heights of NXT and Josh Briggs go to Japan. I was just watching the videos and everything. Then, as they were doing shows in Japan, an interview came out with Great Muta, they asked him, Who would you love to have in Japan? The first name he mentions is me. I’m like, Oh, wow. That’s great. I didn’t think he would remember me, but he did. So I kind of threw the idea to a couple of guys about Japan.
“I remember seeing Road Dogg at the PC, ‘Hey, do you have a couple of minutes to chat? Not really busy right now, but I would love to go to Japan.’ He said, ‘You know what? Let me think about it.’ And then a couple months later, he was like, ‘Hey, you have an opportunity to go to Japan. Do you want to go?’ I was like, Yes! I want to go to Japan. To be honest, I am glad I did. I needed to go to Japan.”
Omos shared that his wrestling style in Japan was different from his WWE
During the same interview, the Nigerian Giant shared that his wrestling style was a little different from his wrestling style in WWE. He also mentioned that he implemented what he had learned from former WWE Superstar MVP.
“I would say a little bit [different]. I took a lot of things that I learned while I was working with MVP. There were a lot of things that we talked about when we were on the road together, because he taught me a lot. I just took all that style. When I was there I called him, because he wrestled in Japan. I called him. I called Shelton Benjamin, and they go, ‘Hey, in Japan, you’re a heel, be a heel. They love it, be the nastiest heel.’ I’m like, Oh, really? So I really got to embrace that. And they loved it,” Omos said.
