Dutch Mantell recently claimed that Kenny Omega reminded him of WWE legend

Dutch Mantell recently stated in an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling that Kenny Omega reminded him of WWE legend, Jerry 'The King' Lawler.

"I think [Kenny] Omega maybe because he has good timing and he knows where to put stuff in," said Mantell. "I will say Omega to him (Jerry "The King" Lawler). What made Lawler so great, no move was wasted, and there was a time for it, a reason for it. Everything he did had a reason," said Mantell. "Jake "The Snake" was another one. Nothing was wasted, everything meant something. I'll say Omega or Danielson." [34:15 onwards]
