"Run with it" - EC3 comments on WWE veteran's high praise for AEW's Kenny Omega (Exclusive)

Former world champion EC3 recently shared his opinion about the praise Kenny Omega received from a WWE legend.

The former AEW World Champion has often been called one of the best pro wrestlers of this generation. He was named number 1 on PWI's list of the top 500 male singles wrestlers in 2018 and 2021. The notion was further affirmed by Hall of Famer Jake Roberts, who called Kenny Omega 'unbelievable' in terms of his in-ring skills.

On the latest episode of The Wrestling Outlaws, EC3 spoke about Roberts' comments on Kenny Omega's talent.

"Is Jake drinking again? I am kidding. I mean if a living legend like Jake The Snake Roberts, master of psychology pays you such a compliment, what are we gonna do? Be mad at him for accepting it? He is very proud of who he is, he is a very talented athlete, very skilled professional wrestler. If Jake Roberts thinks that, run with it. Good for you Kenny." (2:55 onwards)

Jake Roberts' comments were reciprocated in kind by the former AEW World Champion, who responded to the praise on Twitter.

Before Omega was hailed as a wrestling prodigy, Jake Roberts had awed the pro-wrestling community with his talent. The Cleaner certainly recognizes the WWE legend's expertise, as is evident from his response on Twitter.

“High praise from an absolute master of psychology. [Now I can see why I was mostly safe from @LanceHoyt all these years],” Omega wrote.
