A funny thing about running a crowdfunding campaign is that you spend months actively planning it in excruciating detail and then somehow it still sneaks up on you???

I’ve never understood the appeal of Kenny Omega, but this? This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen in wrestling. Huge kudos to Omega, for real.
Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned.

Thought you'd enjoy this.
