Former AEW Champion Kenny Omega recently received massive praise from WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam in the currently-ongoing Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards. Coming across his words, Omega took to Twitter and cited both Van Dam and, well, Van Damme as his two inspirations for 'flexibility.'When asked to name his 'Male Wrestler of the Year' 2021, RVD chose former AEW Champion Kenny Omega. He went on to say that Omega is special because he is 'one of a kind.' The Cleaner, who's clearly an RVD fan, responded on social media by naming Rob Van Dam as one of his idols.According to Kenny Omega, watching RVD as a teen inspired him to work on his flexibility, which was instrumental both as a hockey player and as a pro wrestler.His other inspiration is Jean-Claude Van Damme, who our readers may remember from Universal Solider and Street Fighter.You can check out the tweets below:Rob Van Dam@TherealRVDDude, I think Kenny Omega is just that 'One of a Kind' wrestler & that’s why he is my Male Wrestler of the year for #SKWrestlingAwards.
