Tyson Smith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tyson Smith is a canadian professional wrestler who wrestles under the name Kenny Omega. He primarily wrestled in Canada for years in such federations as NWA Canada, PCW, TCW, ACW, WLW, CWF, CIWA, MPW, among others. He was signed to a developmental contract to the WWE in November 2005, where he was assigned to Deep South Wrestling, LLC. He asked and was granted his release in September 2006, in which his departure was on good terms.

Omega's two biggest accomplishments are wrestling for Premier Championship Wrestling and Action Wrestling Entertainment. In PCW, Omega won the PCW Heavyweight championship twice and Tag Team championship's once. He also won the 2005 Premier Cup, a tournament that included Amazing Red and Chris Sabin. In AWE, although his record was under .500, Omega appeared on national television and pay-per-view.

In September of 2006, Kenny Omega was granted a release from WWE and their development system. Omega was upset with the way he was used and feels his style is better suited in a promotion like TNA or a Japanese or Mexican wrestling promotion. Omega returned to Premier Championship Wrestling in time to face AJ Styles on September 21, 2006, a match in which he won.

After the match, Styles said Omega did two things right: He left the WWE and defeated AJ Styles! Styles said, "I'll see you around, sooner rather than later."
