kenny hosed up, his apology isn't good enough, he should have never let them on the show in the first place. he's in the wrong, not the people upset at him.

He personally booked them he says so in the tweet. Reading is your friend. He says it twice. They helped him so he let them do the match.

https://twitter.com/KennyOmegamanX/status/1013076436134047744

The tweet says he let the wrestling school/ring crew book the match, not him.
Even if he didn't book the match, he still had a ring crew with a convicted sex offender on it.

Producing/agenting are different from booking and he said he gave them the power to do whatever they want. If you want to say he didn't take responsibility for booking them on the show because of that sure, I guess. He then posted a full apology and offered refunds.

Given what Kenny has stated he didn't know these two, had outsourced the booking and has instantly apologised I don't know what people are still upset at him over.

Instantly? It took him almost *checks watch* FIFTEEN HOURS to apologize. Piece of garbage. He was probably doing coke with all his sex offender buddies.

kenny represents something special to a lot of people and they take it as a personal betrayal when he does something to undermine that. kenny brought a ton of people into wrestling and his being seen as socially progressive has a lot to do with it. this isn't about those two florida morons, this is about kenny hurting them.

it's understandable and i don't even think they're necessarily wrong for being upset. i just do not care about this at all myself. they were local guys who sucked poo poo in the ring for 10 minuted. it is unfortunate that people who weren't scumbags couldn't have those spots i guess.

The initial apology could of been better but I do think this is an honest mistake as Kenny hasn't done anything like this before. His second statement is way better and also next time he really should just pay to bring a proper New Japan crew instead of a Florida one cause lord was the ring also a mess last night.

Also goodbye sweet gold long boys. Gone too soon from the world

he does street fighter commentary at a "high level" for the community, but i am surprised how good he is at this. he's fun.

the other fgc guy, rynge, is going for more play by play but he's also holding his own.

i dunno the guy in the middle, may be a ringer they brought in to keep things on track.

For people that don't know, he's one of the best European fgc commentators, and also has his own radio show on the biggest UK station. Has a long running jokey feud with Kenny as well as being a massive wrestling nerd in general.

The middle guy is a non-fgc esports commentator, from what one of my friends said, maybe dota or something. Definitely seemed more polished in a broadcast sense than the other two, but still seemed to know his wrestling

Kenny hosed up by letting them be the first dark match without double checking their dudes, he then hosed up by engaging people on Twitter. But it also sounds like CEO were the ones who actually hired the school. Kenny has enough good will built up that It feels like it is in the realm of a "Don't do it again" and he's fine. Hell, NJPW keeps booking known sex pest Michael Elgin and everyone complaining about this show is still watching them.

idk, it definitely feels like there's a subsection of NJPW fans out for his blood and Kenny has been giving them ammunition to use against him this week.

It feels like woke wrestling fan is particularly attracted to NJPW and they seem to not be jaded to the awfulness that's normal in pro-wrestling historically. They weren't around for Dragongate's monkey abuse or the old DVDVR sleaze list or all the general unpleasantness.

Feel like they are unrealistic, online there's a reluctance to accept humans gently caress up, all they can do is apologise and learn and move on and that's not good enough, you're not allowed to gently caress up. It's stupid and a great way to alienate people.

Kenny has also attracted a lot of people to wrestling by being the closest thing wrestling has to a modern gay icon. I think a lot of people are invested in him in a way he might not get. Dude really needs to learn not to engage twitter though. He made himself look real bad by arguing with people before putting out an actual apology.

I agree but I don't blame him from being a jackass to that first ginger ninja guy. Jumping straight to the pulpit to deliver his sermon at Kenny about how bad he is instead of asking Kenny if he knew the guy he booked in his dark match was a nonce and how that managed to happen is pretty good illustration of the lovely Twitter takedown culture.
