Details On Kenny Omega Dealing With A Shoulder Injury and Vertigo

In a video on chiropractor Dr. Beau Hightower’s YouTube channel, Kenny Omega talked about having vertigo:

“Yeah, it’s been an issue since 2018. I just get really bad vertigo. I get dizzy in the ring. I can’t — the room spins. It’s been a new skill I’ve had to inherit is wrestling in a spinning ring. So to make sure I get that straightened out as much as I can, as often as I can is really paramount for my performances.”

Omega also commented on his shoulder:

“One thing that I can say is I have a lot of difficulty just doing a straight side [arm] raise because of my shoulder injury. I would have to really sort of deviate to [a diagonal raise] to do anything. So to be able to go perfectly sideways is great.”

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com talked more about Omega’s shoulder:

“I don’t know if he has no strength. but he can’t lift heavy weights with them — I don’t even know if he can lift with them. The last time we were talking about it, he said he was able to lift the bar. So it’s 45 pounds. He’s told me, ‘I can work a match without my shoulders.’”
