Remarkable - Mick Foley lavishes praise on top AEW star for their multi-lingual promo skills

Mick Foley as Cactus Jack with his trusted "Barbie" WWE Hall of Famer recently took to Twitter to heap praise on former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega's ability to cut a promo in near-perfect Japanese. After winning the G1 Climax in 2016, Omega cut a promo to the fans in attendance where he switched from speaking English to speaking in Japanese. The Cleaner is fluent in Japanese because of his time spent living in Japan. The promo recently resurfaced on social media, causing Foley to stumble across it. The hardcore legend watched it and was amazed at how effortless it was for to switch between the two languages: "Watching @KennyOmegamanX cut this promo in Japanese is remarkable. It shouldn‘t be - because so many foreign wrestlers speak at least some English - but it is. To the best of my knowledge - correct me if I’m wrong - no US (or Canadian) wrestler has spoken Japanese this well." Watching cut this promo in Japanese is remarkable.

The promo showed Omega telling the Japanese audience that due to him being a heel, he decided that he didn't want to speak the native tongue, even though he was fluent in the language.

Mick Foley has his own iconic legacy in Japan

Despite not being fluent in Japanese, Mick Foley has left a lasting legacy in Japan that is certainly hard to top. Before his time as Mankind in WWE, Cactus Jack was terrorizing the wrestling world with a level of brutality, the likes of which have often been imitated but never duplicated. The highlight of his time in Japan was the now infamous "King of the Deathmatch" tournament for IWA Japan in 1995, a tournament which Cactus Jack won. “He wants to play rough…He wants to walk up to the tree and take a bite out of the baddest apple of them all? Well, Terry Funk, the taste…WILL MAKE YOU SICK!” ~Cactus Jack (IWA Japan • 1995)

This all led to the final against long-time friend , where the two competed in a "No Ropes Barbed Wire Exploding Barbed Wire Boards & Exploding Ring Time Bomb Deathmatch." Foley won, becoming known for the rest of his career by Japanese and American fans as the "King of the Deathmatch," a title that he still holds dear to his heart to this day.
