March 23rd 2019
Saturday Live Stage C2E2, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks interview
- https://youtu.be/NPlWc5Juwcs?t=17919

4:58:50 - How's the con? Kenny really enjoying it. Kenny is a big geek. They sat beside the VAs for animaniacs. Kenny talks about other stuff he was excited to see.

5:01:30 - Anything you can tell us about the show coming up? Bucks and Kenny are bad at spoilers, they just keep announcing stuff. Gonna put the AAA titles on the line at Double or nothing. There's going to be a new set, they are already over budget (sorry Tony). Kenny hasn't been paid yet by AEW because they're spending so much money on the show.

5:03:42 - Interviewer asks how they got started doing this and starting All Elite.
Kenny tells a bullet point history of his career. Bucks tell theirs, Matt got trained, then came home and trained Nick. Kenny teases them about ring names they had when they were little. ('Nick the pimp' 'Slick Nick' 'Hollywood the Stuff' 'Mr B.Y.W.A')

5:07:48 - The first time Nick ever met Kenny was during Matt and Dana's wedding. Nick left for a PWG show straight after his best man speech.

5:08:19 - what sets AEW apart from other wrestling?
They talk about BTE, wrestling is silly but story lines should have continuity and make sense. Also there will be good wrestlers.

5:09:54 - Has anyone ever pitched you a move that was too dangerous?
Kenny tends to be the one to come up with the more dangerous stuff in his matches so when he gets hurt it's his own fault. Matt once refused Hernandez(?) throwing him in TNA. In NJPW Kenny didn't ever want to take anything from Yoshi Tatsu because he thought he was unsafe and always made Chase Owens take his spine buster instead. Kenny wishes good luck to Chase on his US title shot. All three of them laugh at the concept of 'Chase Owens fans' because they are mean boys.

5:12:03 - One thing we can expect from AEW in future?
Kenny wants more from televised wrestling, he wants to blend different things together.
