The biggest star in wrestling outside of the WWE; Kenny Omega (alongside Bullet Club team-mates ‘The Young Bucks’), drew a phenomenal crowd of well over 2,000 fans to Dublin’s National Stadium last night as Over The Top Wrestling put on their most ambitious production to date: Scrappermania 3.



Omega, who wrestles for New Japan Pro Wrestling, sang the praises of former Bullet Club leader Finn Balor (formerly Prince Devitt) in an exclusive chat with Irish Daily Mirror.



“I am a Bullet Club member, and a fellow Bullet Club member from back in the day; Prince Devitt, is of course very familiar with [the people of] Dublin, Ireland,” he told us in a rare interview.



Devitt, who now wrestles for WWE as Finn Balor, was the initial leader of the faction, which currently boasts Cody Rhodes as a member as well as former members including Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson and former WWE Champion AJ Styles.



“I am very excited to take part in the history of Bullet Club, [in the hometown of] the original leader Prince Devitt.

“[I want to] see what this [OTT] is all about, what the fans are all about and get a taste of this rich wrestling history.”

Omega ascended to unprecedented levels of acclaim after his match at WrestleKingdom 11 in January against Kazuchika Okada, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all-time.



Since then, his star has risen to the point where he and the Young Bucks, who wrestle as a sub-faction of the Bullet Club known as ‘The Elite’ attracted thousands of fans to four shows around the UK & Ireland this week.



“We [the Bullet Club] always had this message that we wanted to tell the people. To finally spread it to a larger fan-base… to spread our message of what pro wrestling should be, what we think it can be, to more people worldwide, that makes us happy.



“That [message] makes us want to travel more and give these live performances in places that we’ve never been before.”



OTT returns to the National Stadium on August 5th, when Mick Foley takes charge of the promotion for one night only. Ticket details will be announced shortly.



Their May 6th date in the Tivoli Theatre has a tiny amount of tickets available on Eventbrite.ie
