In Jim Cornette's favourite match of all-time, Kenny Omega wrestled a nine-year-old girl...and made it look good!

The match took place years ago before Omega's current superstardom had even taken hold. Omega was one of the few wrestlers willing to participate in the publicity stunt. Many other wrestlers feared they would hurt their own credibility if they took bumps from a mere child.

But Omega wasn't sweating any such concerns. Not only did he agree to wrestle the girl, but he also put his all into the match, selling for her and making sure the spots looked good and snug. And he even allowed her to slap him about the face at the end of the bout, cementing his status as a man who is willing to do whatever it takes to entertain the crowd.

Footage also exists of Omega wrestling a blow-up doll, and he also managed to make that look entertaining, too. The greatest of all time should be able to have great matches with any opponent, and that's what Kenny Omega has proven he can do.
